MEMS MEETING
MARKS CLIMAX
EVANGELIST BROWN MAKES
STRONG IMPRESSION AT AFTER
NOON MEETING AND MANY MEN
GO FORWARD

At an immense mass meeting of men
at the First Methodist church yester-
day afternoon at o'clock, DR.. Brown
preached Oh the five deaths resulting
from sin. The text was For the wages
OF sin is death" DR.. Brown delivered
what was pronounced one of the most inn
pressive and most logical sermons ever
heard in Birmingham. The mems meet
ing yesterday afternoon was used as a
sort of climax to the whole series of
meetings which have been going on for
went forward at the close of the meet
ing as a confession OF their sins and de-
termination to live a better life.
Gospel Singer Curry, at the head of a
large male choir, led the singing, which
was excellent. After the preliminary
song service DR.. Brown told of the five
deaths brought on by sin. They were
death of conscience. death of character.
death of will power, death of body and
death of the soul. From the beginning
until the end of his discourse the evan
selist held the large crowd in breathlesr
interest His description of how young
men fell into wrong ways how at first
they tried to resist, how temptation grad
ually overcame them and they sank
deeper and deeper, was especially inn
pressive.
When he finally made his appeal for
men TO come forward and kneel for
prayer DR.. Curry sang. 81 Can Hear MY
Mothers Prayer" The audience was
deeply affected and many men went for
ward AS Mr.. Curry changed the song
TO "rell Mother Ill Be There many
more left their seats and went forward.
A pin could have been heard to dror
anywhere, and there was scarcely a dry
eye in the house.
The meetings closed last night. Evan.
gelist Brown and Mr.. Curry have held
two revlvals in Birmingham this winter
and both were very successful. They are
talented men and have made many

WANT.CHANGE IN
PAVING MATERIAL

Residents on Tuscaloosa avenue, be-
tween Green and Poplar streets, West
End, will hold a meeting at 8 o'clock
tonight at the West End city hall at
which the matter will be taken up of Pc
titioning the Board OF Aldermen ITO change
the specifications for the Tuscaloosa ave-
nue. paving.
The contract for the paving of Tusca-
1oosa avenue with tar-cap macadam was
let some time ago. The property-owners,
however, along this avenue are said to
be very much in favor of having the
tar-cap macadam changed to asphaltum
binder oil road, and it is expected that
the result of tonight's meeting will be
the filing of petition with the Board of
Aldermen asking them to make this
change in the specifications.

Mr.. Lehman is llind-hearted however.
says the general public may take his
word for it that the prevailing weather
will not be OF long duration The local
cold snap is but the aftermath of tho
storm which has recently ragged in the
region of tho great lakes, he adds, and
is not, as the pessimistic insist, return
of winter due to the comets influence on
terrestrial seasons.
Howbeit, continued discomfort to men
and crops is the temporary verdict, and
this mornings frost will doubtless be fol-
lowed by continued slow expansion of the
mercury.

WOULD PUT Ban
ON SUNDAY BALL

Hillsboro, N. d.. Dec. 15.-Though
baseball is not in season just now.
Trail county Sunday school workers
believe that this is the right time TO
take up the question of suppressing
Sunday playing, and. in resolutions
adopted at the annual meeting of the
association in this city, they propose
another plan for carrying on baseball
successfully
instead of Sunday games, the assO-
citation viii ask that the business men
throughout the county grant half
holiday to their clerks and other heip
that they may play ball. The Sunday
school people also viii ask that the
merchants and other business men
who assist in supporting the home
team" by cash subscriptions or other
wise refrain from doing so when Sun
day ball is played. agreeing, however.
to come to the front literally in case
Sunday play is banished and the Sat-
urday afternoon rule is adopted.
The association has also adopted
resolutions favoring the very strictest
enforcement of the state anti Cigarette
law, and will take steps to assist the
states attorney in compelling COM
pliance with this measure so far as
Trail county is concerned.

PLAYERS DENY
SOAKING CUBS

Cincinnati, Dec. 15.-Ban ]. John
son and Chairman August Herman
of the national commission have de-
MED the allegations that the commits
sion has it in for the cubs"
"You may say for us any charges
made as to the honesty and conviction
behind any fines we have levied upon
the Chicago cubs will stand the test"
said Chairman Herman. TT has
been printed that we have unduly fined
the Chicago club, but if you will read
the decisions on these cases 1t will be
evident that they were justly levied.
In the attempt of President Muir
ply to tamper with Pitcher Pieffer of
the Toronto club it was shown by tel
egram that he tried to do this and that
he dealt with the player before he ap-
preached the president. For this he
was fined $500.
THE King case is of recent memory
and we have received more criticism
for allowing King to return to the
game than we have for retiring him.
This cost Killing $500.
I'm the Columbus game last spring
the Chicago players interfered with
the umpire and we had to protect the
minor organization from this sort OF
work. The same reason holds good in
the Ottumwa case, where men played
under the names of Ever5 and Hof-
man and with the knowledge of the
Chicago club.
Throughout all these cases we have
been fair and impartial just as we
have been in all other cases.

Baltimore, Dec. 14.-Willie Hoppe,
the billiard expert, was married yes
terday afternoon to Miss Alice Walsh,
only daughter of Thomas Walsh, a
wealthy clothing manufactures of New

Miss Walsh is said to have taken
place three years ago at Atlantic City,
when the young lady's life was saved
by the man she today welded. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. P.
G. Gavan, chancellor Of the archdiocese
of Baltimore.
The marriage was the elimination
of an elopement, it being bitterly OPP
posed, it is said, by the father Of the
bride. The couple came to this city
from New York today, accompanied
by Miss May Maxwell, an intimate
friend OF Miss Walsh, and Hoppe

on the team and that fraternal feeling
had a great deal to do with the choos-
ing OF the varsity players.
Ever since Tom Howard has been
coaching Yale the blue has turned out
strong sevens. Gus Hornfeck's taking
charge of Princeton was just what the
tigers needed. These two expert puck
chasers were able To teach their candi-
dates things about the game. They
could not only tell them how things
could be done, but they could get on
the ice and show them, and that's
what lis needed.
Ralph Windsor has been successful
with Harvard teams. c. Hunters work
with Cornell sevens has been handi-
capped by lack of proper practice. Last
year at Ithaca the ice was late In
forming on Cayuga lake, and when it
did ii was accompanied by severe
snowstorms, and when the snow

work the ice beagn to crack up.

step toward molding what may de-
velop into something more than a pre-

fact that our college hockey has been

The loss Of Read and Peacock is a

Howard to find men able I'D fill their
