An Achievement In Flying.

The aeroplane flight of the Frenchman
Prier from Herndon, near London, to Paris,
2sO miles, without alighting. is the first
really great achievement of the year, and
it is especially remarkable because Prier
is comparative novice and dared the
channel passage without an attending boat.
With the improvements in aeroplanes re-
ported from both England and France
the presumption is that this record Will
soon be surpassed.

Mystery always excites the ina -
tion Of the public, and the actions or
the anti-Sunday baseball faction Is no
exception to the rule for since the
ruling Of Judge Beggs most OF them
have been very reticent about their
plans.
To add TO the mystery, they held a
meeting in the reading room of the
library yesterday afternoon and when
Journal representative went to report
the meeting, he was told that his pres
ence was not desired: that the meet
Ing was going to be Of a confidential
nature to discuss plans, and that thew.
had no information to give TO the
public.
Several rumors have been afloat
about the streets since the baseball
trouble has arisen, especially so since
the action Of the court and the deter
mination Of the baseball mnna gem ent
to carry the case to the court of last
resort One Of these rumors said that,
the ministers would push their case
and that warrants would be asked for
those participating in the game next
Sunday, while another was to the effect
that no funds were available and that
the ministers would not carry their.
case any further.
Just what they win do cannot be
learned, and, as a matter OF fact thew
don't seem to know themselves, there
being quite a diversity OF opinions,
among them.
Rev. John Brown said that he did
not know what action would be taken
nor did he know what transpired at
the meeting in the afternoon for he
was called away Immediately after the !
meeting began.
Archdeacon Allen said he did not
know Of the plans at all.

Rev. ]. w. senterftt, who called the
meeting for yesterday afternoon. was
communicated with last night by phone
and he said nothing was decided upon
at the meeting; that Il was not the
ministers alone that met and that the
meeting was Of Christian people to
talk over the Sunday baseball subject
and to get public sentiro ent against
Sunday ball playing. He said the sub
ject was discussed informally and that
no plans we've formed.
Rev. B. Bitch said to a Journal rep
resentative yesterday that IL was not
the intention OF the anti-Sunday base /
ball people to perse anyone or to 4
push the trial OF the present charge
against Mr.. Oliver, but that they were
content to take the case up to the su-
preme court for a decision. He said
that II future Sunday games were at
tempted, however, additional Warrants
would be sworn out and the cases
against future alleged violators would
be pushed.
The next steps taken by the anti
Sunday ball faction will be awaited
eagerly by the public and II is ex-
pected that the subject viii either be
dropped or will take on new life after
the game to be played Sunday after
noon between the Pensa colas and the
team from Dothan.
