EARTH BEINGS PUT IT
 ALL OVER MARTIANS

Anyhow. whether you saw 1t or did not. the Earth beings put 1t all over the Martians. if thsre are any. last night. While 1t may not be fact that the light of the planet nearest the earth Is derived even in small quan- t1ty from the earth's moon, if such Is the fact, the Martians walked in dark ness or turned on more electricity for the space Of forty minutes between a:2O and o'clock.
 However, Mars, the planet was to- tally eciipsed by the earth's moon so far as earth dwellers are concerned last night. The "occulation." as 1t Is known among astronomers. is exceed ingiy rare and occurs but once In life time. The planet entered the moons shadow on scheduled time and, appar- entity. emerged safely.
 The phenomenon was generally oh- served by the people of Montgomery, and Of course. by the whole scientific world.

With fair advance sale for the open ing attraction, the Grand will seat a majority of the confirmed theatre- goers of Montgomery tonight, when the curtain rises on "McFadden's Flats" It is assumed
 As brilliantly new and resplendent as whom the show house was first opened two years ago. the Grand is ready for the season--the season which the man. agers say will offer more to the avid show seeker than any heretofore. A small army of workmen have polished brass and glass have bestowed paint and varnish within and without. and the show house stands ready to burst into Its old time glitter.
 After "McFadden's Flats" tonight. the Grand will be darkened until the night of Friday. September 10. when "Graustark." the dramatizatlon of Mo- Cutcheon's novel. will be seen.
 Unusually devoid of attractions and amusement through the summer as Montgomery has been. the appetites of the people have been whetter for foot light performances by the ennui of the dull season. By way of contrast, if by nothing else, things bode good for the success and popularity of Jake Wells' show house this season.
 The Majestic season opens Monday night. at the Commerce Street Thea tre, with Mabel Paige and her well known stock company, which Is here for weeks stay.

Probable That Dues of Members Will He Raised to Meet Running Expenses--The Formal
 ODenfnr


 An important change was made in the classification of members by the local Y. M. C. A. at the last meeting of the Board of Directors. Formerly the membership was divided into two classes, the Junior and the Senior. The Juniors ranged from 10 to Is years of age and paid s5 as their dues and the Seniors from Is years and paid dues of si0 per year. The change made divides the membership into three classes. The Intermediates form a new class between the Juniors and the Sem iors.
 The Junior class now includes all those members between the ages of 10 and 14: the Intermediate from Is to IT.; and the Senior above IS years. The fee for the Junior and the Senior classes remains the same, and the fee for the Intermediate is put at s7.
 It is contemplated in the fall to raise the dues Tn all classes to meet the rum ming expenses. The proposed raise will put the dues at SIP, $8 and $s. The increase Tn dues is needed because the sociation s14.6o per member and that only $9.4s was paid in per average members, leaving a deficit of S5.11 per member. This shortage was met by personal subscriptions and from the revenue derived from room rental aad other sources.
 Two pool tables have been installed in the Y M. c. A. within the last ten days. The tables are made of mission wood to correspond with the other furnishings. Some objections were raised to their being put in on the ground that the boys would be taught the game there and would go to other less reputable places to play. The sec retary says that he has not found any boys yet that did not already know how tn play. Only young men over IS yearS of age are allowed to play.
 The baths have been open for ten days and the gymnasium Is also open and the formal fall opening will be made by the new physical director within the next two weeks
