OFFICIAL VISIT
 ID FAIR GROUNDS Directors Are Delighted With
 the Improvements COMMENT ON THE WORK With Buildings Made More Convenient and Best Line of Attractions Ever Brought South Success Now
 Seems Assured
COMMENT ON THE WORK

The officers and directors of the Ala bama State Fair paid visit to the fair grounds yesterday and after careful inspection came away delighted. declar- ing that everything is in readiness for the greatest fair in the history of the association.
 "The grounds are in great shape,' said President 1T. Holcombe. "The track known to be the fastest in the south, was never in better condition, and some of the best Alabama horsese are already working out for the races. "A number of changes have been made In the main buildings, and the general appearance is great. When you con sider that we are offering the finest line of amusements ever brought south, with the worlds most wonderful production, a Wright aeroplane, and the people of r counties are coming up with agricul- tural exhibits you cannot imagine how pleased we are with the outlook"
 Last year." said John L. Parker, who is figuring on being the first man in Alabama to go up in an aeroplane, i've felt uneasy on account of the finan- cial depression, but came out with the fair nicely. This year I believe every di- rector is bubbling over with confidence and enthusiasm. I never saw a happier crowd of business men. They all know that the whole state is coming to Bir- mingham during the fortnight of October 6-15."
 Having kept step with every move of the fair association" said Colman Blach, T am ready to say that this fair will be without equal in the south. It has the stamp of approval, and the guarantee of every business man In Birmingham. We have put our money into it. and nothing is being brought here that Is second- class Truly, it will be the biggest and best"
 "The detail improvements at the grounds will please every one" said R. D. Burnett "The old switch track has been removed to the rear of the buildings. The big exhibit hall has been changed to give more space. The poultry show will go under roof, instead of the un- wieldly tent The fire department has comfortable quarters. The seats in the grand stand are more comfortable. The race track is in perfect repair. The mid way will be more convenient to the pup lie.
 '1t is such little things that count, and when the visitors are given the best amusement on the market, while all Ala bama is joining in to make the ex- hibits marvellous, no one will have any reason to complain"

IDENTIFIES BODY
 AS THAT OF KING

Coroner Brasher returned yesterday morning from Bessie, where he held an inquest over the body of Joe King. found Thursday morning between Bessie and Blossburg The verdict of the coroner was that King came to his death at the hands of parties unknown.
 The skeleton was identified beyond question as that of Joe King by the clothing that hung in rags around the bones. There were two bullet holes in the coat on the right hand side and two others in the back, where the bullets ev- idently came out There was also a bull let wound in the head that is thought to have been fired after King fell. The bones were gathered up and will be buried by his widow and two daughters.
 The coroner has a number of theories as to who committed the murder, but ne thinks the strongest one to be that two men, named Lewis and Bowden. who boarded with King, held him up on his way home and forced him to ride about a quarter of mile from the road into one of the loneliest portions of the state. He is thought to have been forced to tie his mule to a tree and then the men walked him into little hollow and there
 
 The skeleton of a mule was found near where the body lay. The rope was still around the skeletons neck, and the coro- ner states that it was one or the ghast- Hest scenes that he has witnessed during his term of office. The mule had starved to death, and in it's struggles to get loose had dug hole in the ground several feet deep. The mule cut through rock and roots as large as mans arm, states the coroner.
 The two men, Lewis and Bowden, have not been seen or heard of since the night that King disappeared. Some time aft erward one of them sent to the King home for shotgun that belonged to him. The coroner believes that these two men are See ones that did the kill ing. although there is nothing but cir cumstantial evidence to uphold his theory.
 The case has been turned over to Dep uty Sheriff Dave Kennybrook and Con stable Staggs, who will work on 1t.

SsIsIlInaeF

Mrs. E. D., etc., Southworth was long ago forgiven for having been the au- thoress of "Ishmael," "Self-Raised'' and the others enumerated on the backs of the paper-covered, and Alice E. Ives should not be too uncharitably condemned for having dramatized a portion of the first-named effort.
 s'Ishnael," the book, has won many an admirer among the tender-hearted, and there is no sufficient reason why the .'Ishmaer' offered last evening at the Shubert should not do likewise. Besides, the prices were lowered a trihe, and the public was reminded that the Bernard Amusement company, incorporated, and not Sam and Lee Shubert, was respon- sible for the plays existence.
 Virginia Howell, cast in the leading role of Claudia, did very creditable work. TO be frank and natural does away with a great amount of artificial grace, and Miss Howell, be it said was not arti- ficially graceful.
 MT. Jacques Byrne made all that Is ex- pected of him of the role of Viscount Vincent, and easily ranked next in merit to the leading lady. George Lannon played the dual role of capt. Burge ana Herbert Frisbie, Lord Vincents secre- tary, in a capable and satisfying manner, and Gertrude Doherty deserves mention for comedy work as Katie, an overdrawn but somewhat amusing "black mammy.'
 The company, all in all, had possibili- ties and was not disappointing to those not too hopeful who attended.
 The scenery had little cause for vanity and was prominent mainly by its scarcity but the effects were in a manner pie turesque.
 Readers of 'Ishmael' in its printed shape know 1t to be a tale of woman who one moment loves a man and the next forsakes him and weds a title chiefly because the mans family tree ii stunted. The title leads her through the devious ways of British brutality anc tyranny until she is rescued by her father and weds the original man. The title

 He was a bit wild at times, but noth- ing to what he used to be in the spring, and. all in all, pitched an intelligent and nervy game The Brooklyns tried their best to get him up in the atmosphere when they saw that the wind, which swept across the field with great force from the first base side, was interfering with his curve ball. but Cove paid no attention to them. He Just kept on pitch ing the kind of stuff that they could not hit with a maui. Cove's session down south has done him a world of good and Griff thinks after his clever exhibition today that he can be counted on to help the club a great deal next season.
 Cove himself is delighted to be back in the big show and believes with all his heart that he is destined to stick around this time.

New York, September 16.-(speciai.)- Covalesk has come back. The big south paw, who arrived only last night from Birmingham, went into the box this aft ernoon and made a splendid victory out of the last appearance of the season Tor cur boys at Washington Park.
 The huge Pole, with his speed and his rattling curve ball, had the Superbas guessing at all stages. He did not find the shift from the minors embarrassing, but pitched the same kind of ball that he has been showing the southern fans all summer
 His strike-out record excelled anything of the kind put on exhibition by the Red twirlers this season. He whiffed twelve of the superbas, getting every man on the Brooklyn team at one time or an other except Daubert and Bell.
