EFFORT.
To SAVE BASE
BALL FRANCHISE
GAMES WITH VALDOSTA HERE
THIS WEEK-PRESIDE JEMI-
SON IN CITY-MOULTRIE AND
QUITMAN WANT FRANCHISE
FANS CAN HELP BY ATTENDING
THREE GAMES

A special effort is being made by
President Dick Jemison of the Geor
gia State league and the directors OF
the local club to save the franchise for
Americus.
President Jemison is in the city and
is working with the directors to see #
matters cannot be adjusted to insure
baseball here.
The Valdosta club is here for three
games The fans have assured Presi-
dent Marshall that they will attend
these games in full force. Booster
tickets have been placed on sale again
and the fans are urged to buy them and
help the local club meet it's payroll.
Matters have cleared slightly since
President Jemison arrived in Americas
yesterday morning. If the fans turn
out to the next three games and by us
ing these booster tickets turn $500 in
to the treasury the payroll can be met
and matters can be arranged so that
Americus can retain the franchise.
Quitman and Moultrie have announc-
ed that they want the franchise to
gether Quitman wants it for the first
half and Moultrie for the last. Neither
is willing to pay for the franchise, so
Americus will lose everything in case
it is transferred.
But here's our hope. If we can raise
$500 at the three games with Valdosta,
then we are practically assured of sub
scriptions enough to carry the club
through the season and Americus will
be saved the disgrace of losing out.
While the fans are urged to buy
booster tickets, still the old prices will
be in vogue at these special games with
Valdosta. Games called promptly at
o'clock.

The Standing

The Muckalees broke their losing
streak Saturday and won from Way

fashioned slugging match with the
Muckalees trailing behind until the
fifth, when they got busy and salted
tle game away.
Dickerson pitched for Americus and
barring the first inning showed plenty
of class. The big Texan was wild in
the opener but was finally steadied and
with his team mates sIugging behind
him overcame the Waycross lead and
finally won out.
The Muckalees had their batting
clothes on and smashed out II clean
hits. Two Mogul pitchers worked
against them but both were easy.

 M Rouscadel felt moved at the sight of this young "piou-piou'' who had achieved his little glory-he was wounded in the charge at the Marne-and he told the sol dier to come home for the night with him for a good meal and the bed which he had so long been deprived of.
 At l o'clock in the morning the two C1 them entered the house and M. Bouscadel called to his good wife:
 "Quickly, something to eat and bottle of wine for this hero.'
 In honor of the occasion Mime. Rousca del descended into the cellar to find some particular wine which had been left them as a legacy from queer cid aunt Imagine the stupefaction of the mistress of the house when she brought the bottle to the fighter to find a 500-franc note wrapped around the neck with the words:

Some time ago The Pioneer reprinted a story from the Seward Gateway m winch it was said that Robert Michaelson, served on the jury in the first murder trial ln Alaska, the defendant in which case was Father Fuller Jesuit priest who was ac- cused of murdering Bishop Siegeie, below Anvik, in the year 1876"
 Referring to this story, which was widely copied in Alaska newspapers, the Rev. k. J. Crimont, s. J., writes interestingly m the Juneau Empire as follows:
 Regarding the first murder trial, winch took place in the last months of 1887 (not lS76) at Sitka, and mention of which was made in your issue of November IS, as a reprint from a Fairbanks paper, and the Seward Gateway of recent date, allow me to give you some statements and particulars from our archives think they may prove interesting to a number of people and dlspol a wrong impression, conveyed by the in exact "reminiscences of the person quoted. In fact, almost every detail given by the above named papers is faulty. Here IS the au- thentic history:
 Francis Fuller the murderer of Arch bishop Charles Seghers, was neither priest nor Jesuit, but a secular, who, previous to his arriv al in Alaska with the archbishop, had been teacher in a mission school m Idaho When the great prelate regarded as a saint and an apostle, a gentleman and a scholar by Catholics and non-CathoEcs alike, on the Pacific coast, undertook the evangelization of the natives in the Interior of Alaska, he took with him F. P Tosi and Father A. Robault both of the Society of Jesus, and Fuller, secular helper, whose services, he thought, would prove valuable during an expedition of this kind in a wild country.
 "The missionary party had reached no further than Juneau, by the steamship An son, July 19, 1886, when the two Jesuit priests, alarmed by the unmistakable signs of mental disturbance, gloomy disposition and wanton irrascibility of Fuller, begged the archbishop to send him back to the States by the same boat. Under the cir cumstances the jealous prelate could not heed their warning, and besides he was con hdent that temporary absence from civ ilzation. as he himself asserted would cure Fuller of his persecution mania.
 At Harper's Post, on the British Yukon, the missionaries parted Fathers Tosi and Robault stopping there for the winter and the archbishop with Fuller proceeding down stream to Nulato where the prelate had spent the season of 1S77-7S. On this occasion Fuller enthusiastically gave the fathers a solemn pledge of loyalty to the archbishop declaring that he would be ready even to lay down his life for the prelate.
 "In the course of the journey, when they had arrived at the trading post of NukIuk- ayet iNuklorhyet), some sinister influence was made to bear upon the man, who hence forth began to look upon the archbishop as an enemy to get rid of. From day to day Fuller's fits of frenzy became more accen- tuated The prelate's diary bears witness

REV, FATHER CRIM0NT TELLS
 OF MURDER OF ARCHBISHOP

to many instances in which the man showed himself insaney enraged, violent and threatening The travellers were at thalr last camp before making Nulato, near low projecting hill, which has since been known as Bishops rock when, Fuller's mania having come to climax, on the morning of November 27, 1886, he aroused the arch bishop and shot him dead. The bullet sev cred the aorta, and death was instantaneous.
 "The Very Rev P F. Hylebos of Tacoma (then at Portland, Or2.l, during the night of November 26 to November P of that same year saw in dream the salntly archbishop killed by rifle shot NlVldly impressed with the strange occurrence, he noted it down in his diary; and later on he thus ascertalned that he had seen in his sleep the scene of the murder at the very moment the crime was being perpetrated.
 "The murderer was brought by the steamer Rush to Sitka for trial. The pro- ceedings took place towards the close of the year 1887 Fuller who until then on many occasion, by word of mouth and in a letter to his evil genius, Walker of Nuklorhoyet, had coldly boasted of his dastardly deed, now before the court in his defense, con tended that the deathlv shot had been acci-
 ental; that while lifting his rife to pro tect himself against one of the Indian guides, who was attacking him with an aX, the gun had gone off and the bullet struck the bishop. I could even sustain sad he, that 1 did not kill him at all and he may have died a natural death
 The jury was out siXty-one hours, and the votes were taken nineteen times, eight of the jurors constantly returning verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, while the other four persisted in oplnlng for ac- Quittal, until solution was suggested in agreeing to compromise on a verdict Of manslaughtcr The accused was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and fine of $1000
 On the plea oi good conduct, the prIs- oner was remitted part of the term. But Gods justice seems to have overtaken him, for he died d violent death not very long after.
 "A reverend gentleman by the name of p, who WAS at St. Michael when Full Ter arrived there, a month or so after com hitting his crime, promptly wrote to the Moravian mission on the kuskokwim that a Jesuit priest had murdered an archbishop At least it was believed that the aforesaid gentleman had written the letter, until he justified himself by saying that not he, but his wife had done it. The report spread like wildhre along the coast, and later on in the States If MT P-- started the islander on its errand of mischief he cannot wash himself clean of malicious untruth ; for he well knew that Fuller was neither a priest nor Jesuit, since he had ques toned the assassin carefully and Fuller had answered emphatically T an not Jesuit, nor have I anything to do with that gen eration of men,"

BILLY SUNDAY IS ELOQUENT
 AS WELL AS SLANGY

That slang phrases are not the sole de pendence of Billy Sunday, but that he reaches the heights of eloquence is shown in the rermon which left his audience spell bound by his message, says Denver news paper.
 In his journey through the Scriptures he tells the story of his own conversion, gives the reason for his evangelism in this man. ner:
 Twenty odd years ago. with the Holy Spirit as my guide l entered at the portico of Genesis and went into the art gallery Of the Old Testament, where, on the wall, hung the pictures of Enoch, Noah Jacob Abra- ham, Elijah, David, Daniel and other fam ous prophets of old.
 Then l passed into the music room of the Psalms, where the spirit swept the key board of my nature and brought forth the dlrge-Eke wall of the weeping prophet Jere miah, to the grand, exultant strain of the twenty fourth Psalm, where every reed and pipe in Gods great organ of nature seemed to respond to the tuneful harp of David, as he played for King Saul in his melan- choly moods.
 Next l passed into the business office of the Proverbs and into the chapel of Eccle- siastics, where the voice of the preacher was heard then over into the conservatory of the Songs of Solomon, where the lily of the valley and the rose of Sharon and the sweet scented spices perfumed my life.
 "1 stepped into the prophetic room and saw telescopes of various sizes, some point ing to far-off stars or events and others to nearby stars but all concentrated upon the bright morning star which was to rise above the moonit hills of Judea, while the 1 shepherds guarded their focks by night.
 From there I passed into the audience l the standpoint of Matthew, Mark, Luke and room and caught vision of the King from the standpoint of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 1 then went into the Acts of the | Apostles, where the Holy Spirit was doing | His office work in the formation of the in ] fant church. From there l went into the correspondence room where Matthew Mark, Luke, John, Jaul Peter, James and Judge sat at their desks penning their epistles to the church. Then passed, last of all into the throne room of revelation and saw the King sitting high upon His throne where I fell at His feet and cried: God be merci- 1 ful to me, sinner"

 German culture and German civilization is so superior to that of other countries that any steps which now must be taken to secure this civilization are justified, and Gernany's destiny to become the dominat ing power in Europe and in the world Is so clear and apparent that the common moral laws are too narrow and inadequate for the guidance of Germany at the present time"
