Montgomery March 1s.-(Special) )- Sunday baseball is to be played-that Is, ball at which admission will be charged in Montgomery, beginning next Sunday At that time two teams of the locals, the Regulars and the "Irregulars,' will contest for victory. The announcement was made by President R. J. Chambers of the local club this morning. He said that the game would be played. Further than that inc had nothing to say.
 That fight is to be made is evidenced by the fact that at a meeting of the Ministers union today a resolution was passed calling on c. G. Miles. as head of the State Law and Order league to see that the law is not violated without pun shment following. MT. Miles said that if the law is broken he and the other members of the league would be certain to see that punishment is meted out to those who are guilty. He could say no more, not at that time having enough informa- ton to make up plan of action.
 Sheriff Hood was approached several days ago and told that it was the inten- ton of the local management to attempt a revival of Sunday ball. He has not made any statement of his intention other than to indicate that any violation of tho law will be punished to the extent that his oath of office requires. This is the way the matter stands. It looks as if Sunday ball will be played; also as if punishment was certain for those who violate the law.

Nobody seems to know exactly what

TransvaaI rerminations.

In perusing the names of South At
rican towns in the daily newspapers
many must have noted the word ''fon-
tein," which appears so often. This
word is the English fountain, and
towns with this termination have been
named after Dutch farms. which are
always built beside fountains of spring
water. Thus Bloemfontein means flow
cry fountain" Modderfontein, muddy
fountain;" Klenfontein, ''small foun-
tain" and EllandsfonteIn, deer foun-
tain" Another town termination which
English readers must have noticed Is
that Of "laagte," which is pronounced
.Iaughty." 1t means shelter for ami
mails" and hence when we talk Of the
battle Of Ellandslaagte we may know
that 1t was fought on spot freQuentct
by deer.-London Globe.

APPLIES 70 DEMOCRATS NOW
Urges That No untrled Nostrums Tor

ken Up by Party.

Louisville, KY, April 14.-Governor
Johnson of Minnesota had his first for
NAL Introduction to the democrats of
Kentucky at the banquet of the Jeffer-
son club, where he delivered the prin-
cipal address of the evening. The vel
come accorded him was enthusiastic.
The spirit of the times, declared Gov.
ernor- Johnson, is against invasion OF
the rights of states as well as opposed
to monopoly fostering tariff, and
against government ownership and So
cialistic experiments as it was against
extortion and rebating by the rail
roads All of these evils he pronounc'
ed as menaces which democracy mus,
combat.
Would Avoid Nostrums.
To take up untried nostrums for the
cure of present great abuses when
Jefferson's principles are as sound and
efiicacious today as ever they were, he
declared, would be to court defeat ol
disastrous failure of administration II
case the party should win at the polls
In conclusion, he said:
"Expediency never got nation any
thing; it never got people anything
| it never will get the democratic part,
anything. When the democratic part,
in its national convention plants it
clause on the grounds of expedienc.
| it adopts platform based on expedi
ency, it cannot win, and it ought no
| to win. What we want today is to g
before the people with patriotic
| manly declaration and ask for the con
currence of the people in that declaI
alton.
| Have Patience to Endure.
| 81 know 1t may be long road t
victory which we all want to see come
If we have the patience to endure;
we have the faith that ought to be i
us, and if we have the intrepidit
which ought to be characteristic of
democrat, we will get there"

regard to the cleyerness Of two gold
finches upon which he kept a close
watch while they were building nest
on small branch Of tree. When the
nest was finished he noticed that the
weight of the birds and the eggs was
too great for the strength OF the sup.
porting branch. The goldfinches also
perceived that the nest would fall un-
less something was done. and. after a
great deal Of bird talk, they few away

Then they cleverly fastened the bend.

branch Of the tree, and thus preserved
their nest and its contents from de-
struction.-London Standard.

Brain Growth,

The brain usually stops growing at

II is more likely to decrease. 1t has
been related by Canon MacColl that
Mr.. Gladstone's head was constantly
outgrowing his hats. AS late as the
Midlothian campaign. when he was
nearly seventy. he was obliged to have
his head remeasured for this reason.
