C « 0OOO0O000000000000000000O0 The deep, dark haze of uncertainty has settled over the barnstorming plans of the Atlanta baseball players. Just at present there Is a movement to give the whole thing up. This threatens to put Manager Smith "In bad," for he has gone ahead—at the request of the team—and made plain for the series In Richmond. In conse quence of this, he hopes to put through the d*»nl for the six games in the Vir ginia city. Manager Smith leaves Tuesday for Cincinnati. to be gone for a couple of weeks. While out he expects to round up a couple of "Paskerts" and "Fords." He turned the trick on his scouting trip last year and wants to "repeat."

It was three months from the time the man died before his father dis covered the fact, and that wae when a letter from the undertaking Arm reach ed him. tlon of the novel by Mra. Mary J. Holme*. One of the large commenta ries, In speaking of Mrs. Holmes, says: "Mra. Holmes Is probably the greatest moral writer that we have,” And this very fact of her moral writings Is large ly accountable for her large following. Over ten million copies of her books have been sold, "Lena Rivers” leading the list In point of popularity, and when you stop to consider how many persons In the same family usually read a hook purchased by one of them. It la Impossible to estimate how many read ers she has. The play has embodltd all the salient points of the book.' The management has arranged for a special matinee Friday afternoon, when Miss Poyntrr will present Ibsen'* fa mous play, "The Doll's House.” Al Fi*!7 Friday, Besides a splendid aeries of stag* pictures of historic events In th* his tory of the nation which Al O. Field has with forethought added to the spectacles of his greater minstrel show this season, there are a number of tableaux, notably the reproduction of the "Spirit of 1776," known to every man. woman and child who claims the United States as their birthplace. The minstrels who are used In this tableaux were selected specialty for their fitness. In posing, and are evenly graduated In height. There Is an old grandslre with his head bound In a handkerchief show ing his gray locks protruding from be neath; his age has no effect upon Ills martial bearing; he has heard the call of freedom and haa converted the prun ing knife Into a sword. Striding along between hie son and grandson, he beats aloud the tattoo calling his countrymen to arms, while hi* grandson, looking upward, keep* time on a smaller drum. Both are inspired by the strain- of "Yankee Doodle," played on a Mule by the father of the boy. This scene was really enacted at the battle of Ala mance, X. C.,* May, 1771, and which w as really the first battle of the Revolution.
