Chants Of Woe for Chinese;
 Three Arrested for Opium Den

Woe is rampant in that select gas- tronomic parlor known as the Hong Kong Cafe. There is much beating on brazen gongs. burning of joss sticks and much colored paper. Of late. some 10000 devils seem to have pos- sessed the place, for evil luck has come upon the Celestials. Before they were only accused of losing their nptal means of sustenanee in fan-tan games, but now Detectives Payne and Avaot and Policeman Evans are mean enough to bring a charge of the dis- pensing of opium against the exiles from the Flowery Kingdom.
 It is known that the poppy is the national flower of China in fact, If not in, national selection, for immigrants from the pastures beside the Yang Tse King have been known to have in these possession. upon their arrival in America, sundry pipes that look like flutes with the "embouchre" set about the middle. and that are used in caus- ing small pellets of stun of the con-

sistency of putty to burn. stimulating the most beautiful dreams.
 The Montgomery police do not believe 1t fs wise or just that the pipe should be hit in Alabama, and they are bscked up in the belief by the laws Of the State. Of course, its all very well for the Chinamen to smoke Ie they see fit, and don't get caught, but when prominent citizen of Montgomery, hag- gard. damp with precipitation, un- shaven, his clothing disarrauged, and wildeyed. comes staggering down the street, then the officers think lt is time to take a hand.
 Lum Joe and Sam Ling were arrested Wednesday, being suspected of having placed the said Montgomery citizen, whose name the police swear hey will not divulge. in the previously men tioned condition, but have siase been allowed bond.

AUBURN MAY
 MEET MANDY Championship Battle Is Being Agitated. ALUMNI ANXIOUS FOR A MEET All EIevens Practically Eliminated Except These Two. November 21 or Some Mld-week Date Suggested as the Date for the Great Struggle to Determine
 Championship.
 

Alumni of Auburn and Vanderbilt have started boom in Montgomery for an Auburn-Vanderbilt football game Their idea is to arrange the match for the championship of the s. l. A. A. It would have to be played before Thanksgiving.
 The boomlet is not a bad one. It is not impossible, on the contrary the situation seems rather to demand it If Vanderbilt should defeat Sewanee by a score similar to the outcome of the Purple and Auburn bout the championship would be in much doubt. It must be said that at this stage Auburn has the better of the argu- mcnt by a shade. This is only by score comparisons, and they are unre- liable at best.
 But imagine the importance of such game. It would draw as few foot ball games have drawn in many years. There is no questioning the prowess of the Orange and Blue squad this year. On a fair deal and in clean sport her eleven seems to have the call on every rival except perhaps Vanderbilt. There has been suggestion that November 2l be the date of the battle for the Southern championship. This is the only Saturday practIcable now. Vanderbilt has an engagement with Washington College at St. Louis. If the C0mmjdores could strain e point and cancel this game they must re- cogntze the wisdom of such an act from two reasons. First, 1t would make them more money. Second, 1t would contribute to clearing up the champQnship title.
 Local alumni have written letters to Graduate Manager Bragg of Auburn. urging htrp to open negotiations with Vanderbilt immediately. Mediators will be set to work, it is understood, I to interest Vandy in the enterprise It should appeal to Auburn because 1t would interrupt their long spell of tdleness through which they must pass before Thanksgiving, the only game scheduled In the rest of the season. would prevent the Orange and Blue from becoming stale. Continued inac- tivity, even in football, is unwise. It is true that Auburn authorities are not to be blamed for having. two success i've dates untaken this year. It is helped as November 14 was held open in the despetate hope that Alabama would accept the date for the annual rub between these elevens. Also, No- vember 21 was held open with the hope that Alabama would cancel the Has, Auburn match.
 But 1t seems forgotten that Tus- caloosa and Auburn are well apart. Therefore. all efforts should be di- rected to arranging with Vanderbilt. Perhaps 1t should be played on Dud- 1t is seen that the game Is practica- ble. Montgomery would not object to the battle being waged here. But wherever 1t may be played, 1t would certainly be the principal event of the season in the South

Montgomery Blues and Greys

There is much interest manifested in the football game between the Mont gomery 0reyp and the Montgomery True Blues at the Capitol Heights Bali Park the coming Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock Both promise to put up . good stiff game.
 The Blues. have some good players and expect to pile the score up over the Greys. but the Greys have a few ex-college stare on their team. who have been playing foot ball a good many years, and 1t will be one of the hardest fought games of its kind seen in Montgomery.

SECOND VICTORY

a. cos POPULAR DRINK.
Case Against n. II. Reed for selling
I II on sunday Dismissed In the
Police Court.

A. NJ. Laevison & company won
another signal victory in the police
court this morning for their popular
soft drink. "Dr. Fizz," when In the
case Of T. n. Reed, OF Ninth and
Boyd streets, who was arrested for
selling the beverage on Sunday, the
jury brought in a verdict OF acquittal.
The evidence proved there is no alco-
Ihol in the drink, and therefore It Is
no violation to sell II on Sunday, nor
Is city license necessary for its sale
In the case against Thomas Cole a
few days ago the same verdict was
rendered and the drink declared a
non-intoxlcant, as In this case. "Dr
Fizz" is one OF the best sellers Laevi-
son a company have, and the makers
contend, as the evidence in these two
cases clearly indicated, that there Is
no alcohol In the drink, aud that It is
purely a soft drink.

Fighting Mine Fires,

For fighting fires in anthracite coal
mines a new form of chemical fire
engine has been devised. This engine
Is built on truck which can be run
upon tracks all through the mine.
when the alarm of fire is sounded. the
engine is attached to an electric mine
locomotive and rushed to the scene
OF the fire with all possible speed.
Water played on a coal fire is almost
instantly converted into steam. which
further disintregrates, forming a gas
which is so suffocating that Il drives
away or kills the men fighting the fire
blue flames which shoot out when wa
ter strikes the hot coal, often set
ablaze pockets OF gas in the ceiling of
the mine. When a chemical engine
plays upon the burning coal the heavy
gases evolved cling to the door and
smother the fse by. excmdina the air.

NOW THE THoRNLEss ROSE.
Flower With No Menace ON It's, Stem
is Grown by Seattle Woman.

Holland Is credited with having
produced the first black tulip. but II
remained for Seattle TO produce the
thornless rose. Such a prodigy was
plucked from the garden of Mrs. w.
]. Beggs. at Thirty-eighth avenue
and East Union street, Madrona
Heights The flower has the perfume
of the sweetest rose, but the stem
can be handled by persons who have
the tenderest flesh, says the Seattle
Times.
Mrs. Beggs lived for some years
near the home of Luther Burbank,
the mature magician" of California.
She studied his methods, and made
up her mind that she would accom-
.p.lsh what he so far had not been
able to don
The discovery OF the Mrs. Beggs
was brought to the notice of the Rev
B. l.. Whitman, of the First Baptist
church. When the pastor recovered
from the surprise he turned to Mrs.
Beggs and said:
MADAM, you have made an amaz-
ing discovery. You have compelled
nature to reverse herself. but you
have spoiled hundreds of sermons.
and you have taken the truth out OF
"a most revered philosophic utterance
that has hitherto formed the basis
