THE SHUT-IN.

X Minister on Trades Unions

'If the men had known that he was really up on the subject, they would have been here in a crowd" said a Massachu- setts labor leader about the Rev. H. A. Atkinson, the other day, after hearing his address on Trades Unionism.'
 We supposed" he continued, that all Mir. Atkinson would say would be lot of goody, goody talk in general, but now l see that he actually knows what the is- sues arc and is student of the facts. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. And when he comes again MT. Atkinson will be sure of a big crowd.'
 Mr. Atkinson will speak twice today, the first meeting at the Lions den on Third avenue, opposite the St. Paul's church, at 3:30. The second meeting will be at the Congregational chapel, Seventh avenue and Nineteenth street, at 7:30. In both cases those who desire to hear him should be in good time to secure seats.

To Begin on Time

It is announced that the David Bispham recital at the Jefferson theatre this after noon will begin promptly on time-3:3o o'clock. In referring to this high class musical entertainment a well known mu- sician said last night:
 MT. Bispham is, as everyone should know. one of the great baritones of the world He appears in Birmingham for the first time, and a more beautiful or fitting programme could scarcely have been presented than the one this distin- guished artist will render. He begins with a great Handel number and no one who really loves music can afford to miss it. Everyone should be on time, for I understand the doors will be closed during the singing of each piece"

It's idea of working tie conviCts on the roads and abolishing the fee system is approved by the great Elasses of the people, and it is now up 10 tLc people to take this grand jury e. bort as a text and bring about the re- forms which we have only casually been demanding for many years past. It s indeed time that the people should assert themselves and demand their rights in every particular In doing this we not only help ourselves, but we develop the show up as well to the visitor as does ths beautiful residence section of Birming- ham.
 Birmingham is indeed in the ppbne eye in everything. Newspaper and magazine correspondents and writers from every section Of the country are now visiting Birmingham daily, primarily to talk with Congressman Underwood and find ou, what the people here think of him as pros pective President
 I have been surprised at the unanimity of he leading newspaper men in their ex- pressions that Underwood is the strong est and most available candidate that the deniocrats could put out and they are all of the opinion that in the event he is nominated he will be elected.
 So the chances are most excellent that Birmingham is not only promised all that IS good in the industrial world, but that 1t will be the home town of the neXi President of the United States.

Poultry Fancicrs in Jefferson County

One of the many happy results of the recent state fair is the organization of a poultry fanciers' association" said L. A. Whitehead of the Mount Pinson Poultry farm. This is step in the right direction and will do much to promote and encourage breeding and raising of pure bred chickens in this county.
 There are many poultry fanciers in the Birmingham district and among them owners of some of the finest strains or prize winners of fowls, both domestic and imported.
 "The excellent showing made at the state fair by the local breeders is a matter of much satisfaction, and with the concerted action of the new associa- ton the high standard already attained can be maintained or surpassed in the future.
 'Another feature will be the preparation by the association for the next state fair I understand that a special build ing will be erected for the poultry show, and if this is the case, with the interest in chickens growing every day, the poul- try show will be one of the leading fea- lures of next years state fair

SENATOR CATLIN

BY WALTER E. ERLER.

r Under the most perfect Gather
conditions for the sport thou
sands thronged 10 Gentleman's
Driving Park at Baltimore yesterday
and those fortunate enough to be In
attendance witnessed some sensational
racing.
The 2:19 pace and the 2:1s trot went
the five-heat limit and both events
were won by horses who must be
looked upon as gam TO the core.
In the second hea of the 2:1S trot the
bay gelding. Havre De Grace, went TO
a plurSing break on the second turn,
after which he took II on a run to the
wire. On the far turn in the second
lap he went into the outside rail, put
ting his bike on the bum. At the head
of the stretch it collapsed completely,
throwing Drive" Welsh to the track.
Dusty Rhodes. driving Captain Hunt,
was close behind when Welsh hit the
track, and in order to save himself he
grabbed the shaft of Captain Hunts
bike. and in this position was dragged
to the wire unhurt Up to this time
Captain Hunt, who is owned by J. w.
Gyles, of Paterson. raced right well n
looked like he had n chance to connect
with the money. but the accident got
him acting badly and he was distanced
in the next heat.
The highly touted Senator Catlin.
after finishing fourth in the first W.
heats. succumbed to an attack OF brain
storms and in the third heat had the
banner waved in his face. He easily
had the speed of the outfit, but his
conduct in a race is wicked, and unless
he learns to use his headpiece his ex-
RENE flight of speed will avail him
little.
The big bay stallion. Lucius Todd,
romped away with the 2:11 pace In
straight heats too easy. In he first
heat, however. Charmwood made hin,
step in 2:13is, but this looked like a
jog for the powerful son of Todd, and
to encompass his defeat at this time a
horse will have 10 pace better than 2:10
over a twice around.

January and February that
5000 has been subscribed within the
last month towards prizes and ex-
p~enditures.
A total of $4,000 will be necessary to
make the a success. There
Is quite some controversy as to how
many American masters should par
ticipate.
1t is proposed that nine European
masters and three Americans (Capa-
blanca, Marshall and one other) be
invited and that the tournament be a
two-round affair. Each master must
play two games with the other.
Most Americans, however, hold that
in an international tournament, backed
by American money and played on
Americal soil, a chance should be given
at least to as nan Americans to enter
as possible because several of our
strong players could easily defeat the
so-called European stars Of the second
or third magnitude.
1t is not at all likely that more thai
three OF four European stars of the
first magnitude will participate. For
this reason a national tournament will
be played in the coming fall, and the
strong players who will come to the
front and make a good showing will
probably be given a chance to enter the
International tournament.
Messrs. Casse1 and Helms, the man.
ayers, may be trusted implicitly with
the arrangements. They have show
In the past that they always had at
heart the best interests of the chess
world, and especially of chess in
America.
1t is therefore confidently expected
that only frst-class European masters.
like DIR. Lasker, Schlechter, DR.. Tar
rasch, Maroczy, Rubinstein. Janowski,
DR.. Bernstein and Niemzowitch will be
invited, as 1t will not pay to bring
second or third raters to America. The
rest of the players outside of Capa-
blanca and Marshall, will be strong
Americans.
The Rice Chess Club. Of Newark, has
announced h a two tournaments will
be played at the c~lub-room, 800 Mar
ket street, a championship tournament
with entries of first-class players, and
