old Erin, he wears the best imitation
be can find, and If he can get no
shamrock, real Or counterfeit, he
wears green necktie or q strip of
green in his coat lapel
1t was not many years ago that the
more enthusiastic of the sons of Ire
land on the day when they bedecked
themselves with green would decline
to tolerate the sight of a yellow en-
blem. Vendors of oranges and ba-
nanas did well to keep their carts off
the street Even a belief in the same
religion was not always sufficient to
save orange sellers; that fruit was en-
tirely too suggestive Of the Orange
mems association.
In these days of increasing tolera-
ton there is less and less friction Of
this sort. The custom of giving Saint
Patrick's day parades is gradually dy-
ing out in this country. Many years
ago the New York city council passed
an ordinance imposing penalty on
anyone who abused an effigy of Saint
"a !cz, 1T no suc1 Ia IS now nsceg-
oary. Patriotic Irish societies observe
the day quietly, and there are services
IN the Catholic churches, especially in
those edifices named after the saint
Even in Ireland there is less and less
OF bitterness between the wearers Of
the green and the yellow, and the
crack of the shillalah is not SO often
heard as formerly to the accompani-
ment Of the strains of "St. Patricks
Day in the Mornin'" The attitude of
Queen Victoria had much to do with
bringing about this change of feeling
1t was the duchess of Buckingham
and Chandos who, in voicing her ma
1esty's sentiments, wrote these lines,
which on each recurring Saint Pat
rick's day find warm response in the
hearts Of the Irish soldiery:
We're the most uplifted regiment,
Bedad we're mortal keen!
The shamrock's in our forage caps
By order of the queen!
This song bears date 1900, for it was
In the last year of her reign that Vic
toria, just before her memorable visit
to Ireland, gave orders that her Irish
regiments were to wear the shamrock
in their headgear on Saint Patrick's
day. That raised the national emblem
of the island officially to the heart
high position it had ever held in senti-
ment. 1t was a small and easy thing
to do, but 1t made the tiny three-leaved
plant popular as it never was before.
In spite of all ingenious attempts to
discredit the beautiful story which
represents the patron saint of the EN-
erald Isle as using the shamrock for
an illustration of the Holy Trinity, in
spite Of the learned debates and aca-
demic differences of such scholars as
Bentham and Britten, Colgan and
Cook, your true Irishman the world
over will ever cling to the chosen leaf
which grows In the moss, the moor
and the mireland' of his old home,
and the public Endorsement of queen
surely did not weaken that affection.

''In its immaturity, its proneness to

though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.

"But inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
Gle had the Christian name of each
wife cut on small stone above her

Edith" Under each name a hand
pointed to large stone in the cen
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:

EXHIBITION OPENS.
Prince of Wales Delivers the Opening
 Pronouncement.

London, May 1.-The gates of the Fran co-British exposition were thrown open Co the public at noon today, and in spite of threatening weather a large crowd was present to witness the inauguration
 The Prince of Wales, who was accompa- nied to the exposition by the princess, de- lvered the pronouncement which started the wheels going. The Prince and Prin- cess of Wales have taken the greatest in- terest in the enterprise, and today's cer- emony was accompanied with all the pomp usual to the court of King Edward VII
 The Prince of Wales made a state prog ress through the West End of London, and at the main gate of the exposition he was received by the Duke of Argyle, Prin- cess Louise, Lord and Countess Derby, Paul Cambon, M Cuppi, the French min- ister of commerce, and other British and French notables.

BILL BERNHARD BUYS
 BAY, TIE FAST OUTFIElDtR

Nashville. Tenn. Mayl14-After all the furry the deal for Harry Bay has been closed at last and the fleet Cleveland outfielder, ,lcknamed "Deerfoot,' has left the upper realm to join the Volunteers at Memphis
 Nearly every team in the American association was after Bay. but as per agreement Lajoie turned him over to his old pal Bernhard the minute he was able to arrange affairs satisfactorily.
 Bay is probably the fastest ball player in captivity His first bad year was last season when he was out of shape the greater part of the time with weak leg. But according to all reports he is in tip top form this season. and should travel at a lively gait in Dixie
 The chances are that Bay will be used in left, the outfield thus lining up with Bay, Seigel and Wiseman, three fast men. In case there is any slip and the pitchers get to going good, Hunter can thus sup plant the outfelder whose batting is be- low the mark
 All in all, Bays appearance should bol- ster LID the squad immensely.

To the Democratic Voters
 Of Jefferson County

As the campaign is drawing to close 1t becomes more and more evident that Hon. Henry A. Sharpe, candidate for associate judge of the city court of Bir- mingham, is without substantial opposi- ton and is the almost unanimous choice of the people of this county for re-elec- ton. Ills long and faithful service on the bench in this county, and his equally faithful and distinguished service upon the supreme court have endeared him to all the people and we trust and believe that his election will be practically unanimous. The only possible danger to Judge Sharpe can come from the over-confidence of his friends. In this last word of the cam paign to the democracy of Jefferson coun- ty, the committee in charge of Judge Sharpes interest wish to impress the inn portance, not only of marking the name of Judge Sharpe upon your own ballot but of reminding your friends of the importance of doing the same thing. The matter is too important to permit his vote to be di- unfinished from any cause. Let every man who knows Judge Sharpe and wlo knows him to be well qualified as a lawyer and as man for the position which he occu- pies, not only cast his vote for him but and we will see on election day what we ought to see-this able and worthy and absolutely impartial judge reelected by the practically unanimous voice of the people. R. H. PEARSON,
 Chairman of Committee in Charge of
 Judge Sharpe's Interest.

Mobile, May 14-(Special.) .)-Birmingham lost the game this afternoon in the third ninth-inning finish that Mobile has pulled off in three days.
 McNeal pitched superb ball all the way through, but contributed to his own de feat in the fatal ninth, when three of the six errors made by the Barons came to- gether.
 The Barons got busy in the first in- ming, when Manning singled to center. He died trying to steal second.
 The second single of the game was drawn by Downey in the fifth. He went to second on Demont's easy infield out, he being the first Baron to reach the mid dle station.
 In the ninth inning, with two down, Molesworth walked and Manning hit safe to left field, Molesworth reaching second base.
 Both died at these stations.
 Molesworth and Downey were the only visitors to get as far as second base.
 Every inning in the game the Fishermen had men on bases, but the first single got off McNeal came in the sixth inning, when Daily lined to left field after two were down.
 With two down in the eighth, the second and last safe drive off McNeal was a three-sacker by Thornton. He died at the third corner.
 In the fatal ninth inning Walters jug gled aDe9ys top toward second, and the runner stole second base immediately.
 Hart flied out to Molesworth. Mclver hit to McNeal. With all kinds of time the pitcher hesitated and then threw wild ly to second to head Daily. who was play ing far off.
 James walked for the fourth time in the game filling the bags.
 Benson rolled an easy one to Demont. who caught Daly at the plate.
 Garvin swung viciously, sending grounder down the third base line. Dow neys throw was perfect to Douglas, Gar vln and the ball reaching the first sack together But the big first baseman dropped the throw just as McIver crossed the plate with the lone tally of the game.
 The fielding of Demont and the catch ing of Raub, until he was injured in the third inning, were the Baron features of the game.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.


 on the outfield job, the Volunteers offer the fastest outfit that ever hit the league. Pay is a ten-second gent: Seigel is very fast; Hunter is neck and neck with Bay, and Wiseman is fast enough when he opens up the speed valve, Docs greatest weakness being a lack of ambition at running out infield taps. But out on picket duty any three actors from this bunch should cover ali the territory in the county, much less that confined to the ball yard.-Nashville Tennessean.
 Henline, Manning and Molesworth are not slow.
 Henlne is too fast q man to take any chances with. In the seventh inning he hit to Dyer and when the third baseman of the Champs juggled the ball for a second Henline went to first. He is one of the fastest men in the Southern league, as has been said many times before. The man who takes half a second in throw ing to catch him is going to find that the rightfielder of the Barons has gone on ahead and is not where he expected him to be. IIenline keeps up with every hit he makes and never loses sight of one. He knows pretty nearly what his batting average is al, the time. If he fails to be given credit for a hit he thinks himself entitled to, Noah goes right over to the official scorer and has a heart-to-heart talk with that official. He is not un- pleasant but wants all that is coming to him.-Atlanta Journal.
 It is disgusting the way certain papers in Birmingham and Atlanta talk about 'Montgomerys second division team. How they dope it out that way we can't see The boys are playing great ball and they are not quitters as all of them have good records behind them. Montgomery is going awfully strong just now, but Ryan's team is going to the second d1- vision before the end" That is from Percy Whiting of the Atlanta Georgian He is just like Hugh Roberts when it comes to saying anything about Mont gomery. They will all wake up after Montgomery Journal.
 All the readers should sympathize with Whiting and The Age-Herald man. Hor- ace is ripping us up the back.
 With every newspaper in Birmingham ragging Manager Vaughn and the anony- nous writers joining the anvil chorus, it s no wonder the Barons manager is shoot ing through air What that Birmingham bunch of dope writers don't know about 'knocking'' scarcely exists. It's dollars to doughnut holes that if they would give Vaughn a little of the sweet he would pull the Slagpile aggregation to a com fortable position in the standing within a brief period.-Mobile Item.
 That little roast is hardly deserved.
 New Orleans fans needn't be surprised if they hear that Cholly Frank ships his young nephew, Charley Fritz, to Mobile in short order.
 More than one club in the Southern league pays pretty near as much to its players as some of the big league or ganizations.
 It is dollars to pennies that there are pitchers with Atlanta who get more than men with Brooklyn or Cincinnati. and that there are men with the club who get as much as was first offered Ty Cobb by Detroit last winter, after he had led the American league and was the sensa- tion of that circuit.-Atlanta Journal.
