MADRIDs WIN AGAIN.
Great Work by Quentin Roosevelt
 and Charley Taft.

Washington, April 20.-The son of the president joining hands with the son of the secretary of war won a great victory Saturday for the Madrids on the white house grounds. The Madrids constitute ball nine that is hard to beat, at least the other teams of the capital made up of boys under 13 years have found it pretty hard to beat, and when the Plateaus went down to defeat Satur- day by a score of fl to II it marked the third consecutive win for the Madrids. The first game they played earlier in the season did not pan out so well, but the Madrids were not then in practice. Saturdays tri- umph over the Plateaus made the second over that aggregation, and it Is doubtful if the victorious team will have anything more to do with them, unless they go out and make reputation. Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of the president, played center field, and Charley Taft, son of the secretary of war; covered the first bag. Each scored a run, and the game. called at 10:30, lasted about two hours and a half. Young Roosevelt did not make a record with the stick, but when it came to fooling the pitcher he was right in his element He was given bases on balls three times and walked again when the careless pitcher planted ball on his side in- stead of over, the plate. Charley Taft made two hits.
 One of the features of the game was the retirement of the Plateaus in the seventh by Roosevelt's quick throw to Taft. Another sensation was Campbell, Noack and Rems- burg's triple play in the fourth. The lineup of Quentin's nine was as fol- lows: Campbell. shortstop; Noack, third base; Remsburg, second base: Brooks, pitcher; w. Lockwood, left field; Taft, first base D. Lockwood, right field; Roosevelt, center field; Cliff, catcher. The diamond was laid out on the big lawn south of the white house and the bases and pitch CTS box were right where they be- longed to an inch.

DIR SMITHS BOOK.
New Haven Preacher Has Something
 to Say to Critics.

His attention called to a recent edi- torial in the Catholic Transcript, which accuses him of making use of sensational press agent tactics to boom the sale of his recent book, the Rev Dr Newman Smyth stated last evening that this editorial was based upon misapprehensioB, says the New Haven Union. The editorial re- ferred to was inspired By ali article which appeared in Waterbury paper recently, stating that nr Smyth's book, Passing Protestantism and Coming Catholicism had been placed under the papal ban at Rome and listed on the expurgatory index.
 When shown the editorial in the Transcript, Dr Smyth laushingly de- nied that he had engaged press agent and issued the following signed statement which is self-eXplanatory:
 "I have not seen the item in a Waterbury paper to which the edi- torial of the Catholic Transcript re- fers. The fact to which it refers is this: my book, Passing Protestant- ism and Coming Catholicism, grew out of sermon preached ny me last December. A report of that sermon was printed in an Italian magazine, the Nova ct Vetera. which is pub lished at Rome. It is Methodist re- view. After the issue of the second number, which contained my ser mon, the magazine was put by the Vatican on the index, all Catholics u-n fnrhiddap fp itr,a adj tors and contributors, all together, put under the papal ban.
 Tt may be of interest to add that the editors of the Nova ct vetera an- nounce that they will continue to publish the review and that they ap- peal to the Catholic church of to- morrow. The copy of my book, just to them, has not had time yet to reach Rome.

MERRY WIDOW HATS
Latest Creations in SpriUg Style
 Must Be Checked.

Burlington, N. J., April 20.-Sev- eral local churches have proposed a ban upon Merry Widow" hats in the congregation during service. Pas tors declare that men are becoming fewer at the services as the number of big hats increase, and that the popular style threatens to make many backsliders.
 Ushers in some of the more croWd- ed churches were at their wits ends to seat their Easter congregations. Pews which have comfortably accom- modated six persons would hold no more than four when the quartette wore large hats. In the prominent churches hereafter it is proposed to request women who wear their big hats to church to check them at the cloakroom during the services.

SUMS Heat.

Peculiarly speaking, the heat of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put of all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part of a
second If the earth was solid mass
of coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace it would last just 36
hours. The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount of the solar heat that is ap-
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
suns heat caught by the earth is only
the 2,250-millionth part. In other
words, the heat of the sun is suffi-
cient to warm up 2,250,000,000 worlds
the size of the one we are living in
New York American.

MONEY FOR JAIL BONDS

John Nuveen & Co., Chicago Brokers, Have Sent
Autographed Bonds For $4,000 to Be Signed.

The contract for the new $4,000 Jail

Monday when the board of supervisors

This is now a settled fact, according
to the best information available.
Up to this morning the matter was
somewhat in doubt as the board had
only received one letter since its last
meeting from John Nuveen & Co., the
Chicago brokers having in charge the
sale of the bonds and the board was
getting somewhat uneasy at the delay
about hearing something definite.
This morning, however, Chancery
Clerk Batson received a letter from
John Nuveen & Co. saying that the
bonds had been sent by express for the

|HA7TIESBURG LOST GAME;
COLUMBIA WINNER 4 TO z
Laurel and Hattiesburg This Afternoon Three
Fine Games Expected With Gulfport.

The Hattoesburg team was liberal
with Columbia. After taking the first
game in an easy way they allowed the
Columbians to take the second on a
score of 2 to L. This makes an even
break with Columbia and the probable
ity is that the Columbia team will
come to Hattiesburg before the season
is over and make final test as to the
playing ability of the two teams.
This afternoon at o'cldek, the most
interesting game of the entire base
ball season, so far as the local dia-
mond is concerned, will be called. The
game will be between Laurel and Hat
tiesburg and these two teams now
stand one and one and the game this
afternoon will decide the best two out
of three. The two teams are consid
cred to be pretty well matched

dent. These Autographed bonds are
expected to arrive on any train and as
soon as they come there will be moth
ing to do but to have them properly
signed and returned through one of the
city banks. Immediately upon their re-
ceipt and verification at Chicago
bank, the bonds viii be cashed and
the money will be at once available for
jail purposes.
The prospect is that there will be
number of bidders. Several have al
ready signified their intention of bid
ding on the work. The work for the
entire construction can be let to one
bidder, or the brick and steel work
can be let separate.
This is a matter that the board will
decide after receiving the bids, accept
ing that which is the most satisfactory.

show the people of Hattiesburg the
next best thing to league ball next
week. Commencing on the 9th, a
series of three games will be played
with Gulfport. The Gulfport team
has been coached by Manager Gilks,
and the Hattiesburg boys will have
to play good ball to beat them, but
they expect to doit.
In reference to the local games
there is one. thing that the general
public ought to bear in mind and that
is that playing ball is an expensive
thing. 1t takes money to pay railroad
fare, hotel bills and other necessary ex-
penses and the small admittance fee
of 25 cents ought to be cheerfully paid
by all who go to see the games. Other
places patron speir home teams
literally and certainly Hattiesburg
will not prove an exception.
