'PYTH|ANS PLANNING
 TEMPLE AT CAPITAL
Conference Held In Montgom-
 cry Yesterday
COST WILL BE $50,OOO
Details VIII Be Submitted For Final Action To Grand Lodge Which Meets In Birmingham
 In May

Montgomery, December 2S.-(Special.)- J. The Pythian ways and means committee of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of Alabama met at the Exchange hotel in this city today and made plans for the erection of a Pythian temple in Mont i, gomery, the work on the building to be- gin about the latter part of May. The following members of the building com mittee were present at the conference; Past Grand Chancellor J. B. Ellis of Sel- ma, chairman Past Grand Chancellor Jacob D. Bloch of Mobile, B. A. Taylor Of Montgomery, secretary and chairman of the local committee; Grand Chancellor Frank W. Lull of Wetumpka; Grand and Rev. Dr. J. M. Dannelly of Mont gomery, grand keeper of records and seal.
 The conference of the Pytlian com mittee lasted practically all day, during which time they discussed every possible detail of the work to be under taken, and completed all arrangements for final plans to be submitted to the grand lodge, which meets next May in Birmingham. The committee had in con ference with it Messrs. Okell & Cooper, architects of this city. who have drawn up plans for the temple.
 These plans call for the erection of a building to cost not less than $50,O00, which will be exclusive of all fixtures, furnish ings and equipment. This is also exclu- <sive of the lot on which the temple will be erected, this property being located on Dexter avenue, midway between the square and the capitol, at the corner Of Dexter avenue and McDonough street. This lot, which is S5 feet by no feet, was purchased by the grand lodge some time ago at cost of s19.000.
 The temple will have the dimensions 50 feet by 90 feet, being built of brick and stone, and will have four stories. including the basement. The style of the building will be Grecian. showing the temple effect, and when completed, will be one of the most imposing structures in the city. The building will contain the grand lodge offices, local offices, re- ception halls, banquet halls, library, club rooms, and all the adjuncts of large cos mopolitan clubhouse.
 The building will be used exclusively for Pythian purposes-being designed as the home of all Pythians, both here and abroad It Is the purpose of the build ing committee, as well as the intention of the architects, 10 bring into play III the erection of the building many features of architectural beauty and symetry. ! The building will cost, exclusive of all Mixtures and furnishings, not less than $50. .0oo Of this amount, $12.0o0 is already in the treasury and the extra sum will be raised by a bond issue. Papers au- thorizing this bond issue will be prepared by J. Lee Holloway of Montgomery, and |Ftbey will be submitted to the grand lodge lin May. Immediately after the adjourn xrnent of the grand lodge, the actual con struction of the building will commence, and the work will be pushed until the building is completed.

ODD REQUEST MADE
 ' FOR MORE FRESH AIR
A ctre.s Wants HiIIman Hotel To Erect
 Tent On Roof For Her During Stay

The craze for fresh air was never more emphasized in this city than it will be hwhen Mabel Wilber, an actress, reaches |,Birmingham, for she has given instruc- lions at the Hillman for the erection or d tent on the roof, and this is followed by instruction peculiar to this locality. The actress, according to her advance man, is wild about plenty of good fresh air and makes it rule to sleep upon the roof wherever she happens to be. Her instructions to the Hillman, which took the form of a memorandum to Man ager Henry L. Bailey, follow:
 '1. The tent must accommodate two, Miss wilber and herr maid.
 "2. No furnishings except the cots are Srequired for the tent. She will make her
 toilet in her apartments.
 "3 A special detective must be on guard
 Efrom midnight until o'clock in the morn
 ing. Il A. The tent must be in open part of
 |Hoof. Nut be 15 feet from any chimney
 Or air vent. .Gs '.5 The tent must be securely attached
 for occupancy in all sorts of weather. She occupies the tent no matter what the meteorological conditions. ff ''6 Tent must have weather cover and
 wind flap.
 ''7. If there Is chimney on roof the tent must be windward to it. As the wind shifts the tent must be shifted. '.s. She would consider 1t a great faver l if the management would see that the
 elevator is private while she is ascend-
 ing or descending from roof as Miss Wil-
 Der will have only heavy cloak over her night dress"
 The odd request of the footlight favorite is being considered by the TIillman man
 agement and they will no doubt be car
 rled out as the recipient of the singular ccurtesies will meet the extra expenses

BADGER TRAINER CLAIMS
SWEETS HELP ATHLETES

Madison, Wis, Feb. Trainer /.
Bernstein of the University OF Wis
consin athletic teams has come out
with a novel theory for the training of
athletes. The Badger trainer says
that a certain amount OF sweets eaten
with meals viii not only not injure
an athlete, but on the contrary will
benefit him.
Every athlete" says Bernstein,
has a different constitution and can
eat different things without hurting
him. when / was in training | could
eat all the sweets / wanted, candy and
blttcrsweets included, without their
having the slightest effect on me. The
average athlete. however, should not
touch candy"
Crew Coach Edward III. Ten Eyck
confirmed Bornsteins theory of train
ing. AS an example he cited him
self saying that green corn was bad
for the average crew man. However
when Coach Ten Eyck was attending
the University of Pennsylvania and
training for the Poughkeepsie regatta
and later for the race i'm which he won
the diamond SOULS ut Henley, he ate
from nine To ten ears of corn at a
meal without feeling any i'll effects.
Trainer Bernstein deplored the lack
of training table at the University
of Wisconsin, not so much for tho lack
of uniformity of the food which the
athletes get here as for the various
ways i'm which it is cooked. "A train
ing table" he said, docs not attempt
to study out just what is best foi
each man and give it to him. AL
kinds of fried food and pastry are bad
for mans stomach. but it is a fac
| that most OF the food served in Madi-
son BOARDING houses is fried. 1t is Tn,
cooking, not so much what is cooked
that helps condition an athlete"

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
MANAGERS HOPE TO WIN

Judging from the talk of the vari-
Gus managers I'm the American asso-
citation 1t would appear that just eight
clubs are due to win the pennant in
1910. Here is what they say:
Charley Carr-My Hoosiers should
win the flag. They did not play their
game last season, but | have bolster
ed up one or two weak spots and am
satisfied with the team / will place In
the field. Lewis and Coffey are good
men and the team that beats us out
will finish on top.
Ducky Holiness don't know much
about the American association teams.
but President Armour tells me that the
Mud Hens should win. the flag. hope
we win.
Heine Peitz-We won the last sea-
son and there is no reason why we
should not repeat. We need a first
baseman and n second sacker to re-
place Olson. We will have them be-
fore the season opens and they will
be grand players. Just watch the
Colonies this year.
John j. McCloskey-We were nosed
out last year at the finish and but for
accidents toward the close would have
won off by ourselves. We are a sure
thing for 1910.
Joe Cantillon-I hope to celebrate
my return to the association by fin
ishing i'm front The Millers look good
to me and | think we will land the
bunting.
William F'riel-Columbus has usual
ly had a winner and that is what
l propose To furnish. We will play
ball from start to finish and will be
right with the leaders at the finish.
Mike Kelley will land some good
players to take the places of Hall,
Karger and Flynn. Don't worry about
the Saints. They will be in front from
start to finish.
Danny Shay-We finished last in
1909, but just watch us this year. Tc-
beau says we will have winner and

Jcffries' weight will be an important
point to be considered. In spite of
reports TO the contrary, he weighs
more than 24O pounds at the present
time. BY the time he is ready to
fight, his friends say he intends to
scale at not more than 225 and may
reduce to 900. But he intends to keep
from being too fine because he must
have a surplus of weight TO work off
during the battle. Jeffries does not
believe that he can take off more than
25 pounds at the most no matter how
hard he may work during the next five
months and is confident he will be as
strong as ever when the finishing
touches have been put on.
