Baltimore Man, Shot While Riding in ‘Chair With Wom an, Expected to Die. MARYLAND AUTO SOUGHT BY POLICE Atlantic City Tragedy Surrounded in Mystery—C. B. Roberts, the Victim—Mrs. Williams Mum. 1 ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 28 —His death, in all probability, not far distant, Charles B. Roberts, the Baltimore mil lionaire and clubman, persists, in the city hospital today, that he has absp lutely no idea of, the identity of the masked man, who, according to his story, stepped up to the rolling chair fn which he was riding, on the bhoard walk, with Mrs. W. 8. G. Williams, of Baltimore—the wife of his best friend— and shot him. The bullet penetrated Roberts’ liver and he has only a shade of a chance to live. Mrs. Williams declares that the man Fhe Te the shooting was not her hus band. “My husband did not shoot Mr. Rob erts,” she said, emphatically. “He is in Baltimore and has not been in Atlantic ity. “I do not know who the man was who fired the shot, but I think Mr. Roherts recognized him, and could tell his name if he recovers consciousness.’ The mysterious masked man, who was E€en by no one but Roberts, Mrs. Wil liams, and the negro pushing the double chair, got clear away. In view of the fact that “Willie” Wil llams imagined that his wife was in Boston and that Roberts’ wife and chil dren are in New Hampshire, the police think that much more remains to be told than has yet been got from Mr. Roberts. They have questioned Mrs. Williams, in her room at the Hotel Brighton, where Roberts was also stop ping. but what they have learned from er of the strange affair ther have not seen fit to tell. Seek Maryland Auto. It is known, however, that they are locking for a Maryland automobile, for which a New Jersey license is said to have been issued the day before the shooting. Tf they find a trace of it, they think the trail will lead them to Balti more. Persons in the neighborhood say they Saw an auto stop a short distance from the spot and after a few minutes, sneed away. A chauffeur was left in charze of the car, they said, until the man who got out returned. Then it sped away at amazing speed. “This is not a highway robbery, as Roberts’ story would indicate.” said Chief of Police Woodruff. “We've got a case on our hands that is going t., take a lot of work to clear up.” Captain Whalen, who questioned Rob erts, would only say: “When some one talks, we shall have the person who shot Roberts in jal.» The police have been particularly aec tive in trying to learn the whereabouts at the time of the shooting of a man Whose relations with Mr. Roberts are sald to have been strained for some time. Whether their differences were of a social or a business nature the police decline to state. Will Be Great Sensation. The outcome of the mysterious shaot ing undoubtedly will be one of the greatest sensations Baltimore society ever knew. The two principals in the affair are probably as well or better known in fashionable Baltimore than any in the social swim in that city. Mrs. Williams is a strikingly handsome woman, about thirty years old. Her figure is full and shapely, her eyes are of flashing black, and her skin is of a peculiarly clear rose-tinted olive hue that has made her a notable figure everywhere. Roberts is thirty-eight years old, He is president and treasurer of the Na tional Supply Company and has been married fourteen years. Both he and Mrs. Roberts went out a great deal into society, as did thelr inseparable friends, the Williamses. Accepting the story that the shooting was the work of a man bent solely on robbery, the secrecy with which he en deavored to envelope it was strange and eeemingly unnhecessary. The shooting took place at 10:30 the night before last, and it was not until yesterday afterncon that there was even an ink ling that Roberts had been shot down at Mrs. Williams’ side.

Negro Clergyman Talks. Then Jesse Jackson, the negro chair man, began talking, and the police, hearing of his story, began an investi gation. The facts so far established are these: Roberts and Mrs. Williams had supper at the Hotel Shelburne late in the even (Continued on Ninth Page.)

NEW YORK, Aug. 282.—Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, broken down in health, has been taken to a private sanitarium, ac cording to information received last night. She lived until two weeks ago in an apartment house uptown, under the name of Mrs. Fitzgerald. It is under that cognomen that she has become a sanitarium patient. It was sald last night that the sani tarium is located in West Sixty-first street, and is a favorite resort for wo men whose nerves have become shat tered. In her recent appearances in public, Mrs. Thaw's friends observed that she appeared ot be on the verge of a breakdown, Her nerves were on edge, her face was Pinched, and the fresh beauty that was er strong characteristic seemed to be fading. Mrs. Thaw was advised by her phy sician some time ago, it is said, to make a change of scene, and on her refusal to leave New York, told her she must go to a sanitarium. Mrs. Thaw's friends say that worry over the uncertainty of her hushand’s release has caused her breakdowr. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. F. E.

An army petiring board found that he was incapacitated for active service

“on account of disability which is not the result of any incident of the ser vice.’ This action ends a case which has been bothering the army for many months. Hazzard had some matrimonial mix-ups, and he was accused of indis criminate borrowing transactions which finally led to his being sent to the Gen eral Hospi tal at San Francisco for an examination into his sanity, as a result of which he is now dropped from the army roils. yy »=z to Baltimore and Return Saturdays and Sundays via Pennsylvania Railroad.

MACK CLAIMS SIX DOUBTFUL STATES co pani Declares Republicans Must Give New York and In diana to Democrats. OUTLINES PLANS FOR THE CAMPAIGN Chairman Sees Great Gains for Bryan in All Sections of the Country. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Here are the plans and hopes of Democracy as out lined by Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee: “The doubtful States that the Repub licans must eveniuaily concede to the Democracy are the following:

“Indiana, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada, “alifornia, and New York.

“There are a dozen other States for which we shall make a strong fight— Washington, Oregon, the Dakotas, Wis consin, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Claims Six Now. “Bu. the six I first named are al ready lined up on the Democratic side, and in them the Republicans must make their fight. “Bryan has grown enormously in strength among all classes, in all see tions of the country. “Mr. Kern, the candidate for Vice President, will start for the Pacific coast to open the campaign there. Mr. Bryan is already speaking in the Middle West, and will come East. “The prospects of Democratic success are increasing every day. “If, in addition to the seclid South, in cluding Missouri and Oklahoma, the Democrats carry the six States named, they will have a majority of ths elee toral vote for Mr. Bryan. “Some of the figures, leaving cut New York as a possible loss, make up the necessary 242 by the inclusion of two or three smaller States in the second fight ing line, Where War Will Be Wagad. “The campaign will wage most fiercely in New York, Indiana, Nebraska, Col orado, Nevada, and California, which have a total of 70 votes out of a total of 483. “It is exceptional that at this relative ly early day, the campaign should have narrowed down to so small a margin of difference.

“In the East, the principal battle ground will be New York State, which is showing unexpected Democratic strength. Mr. Bryan no longer calls it the ‘enemy's country,” and he is com ing to help win it to his «wn side.” CASTRO PROHIBITS TRADE WITH DUTCH More Trouble Expected—-American Consul Johnson's Dispatches Are Held Un.

President Castro, of Venezuela, has added another grievance to the account ‘between him and the United States. In the enforcement of his order cutting oY all trade with the Dutch Island of Cu racao, and prohibiting the issuance of any clearance papers to any vessels pro posing to proceed from a Venezuan port to that island, he is no respecter of per sons. In a dispatch received by the State Department today from James W, John son, the American -onsul at Puerto Ca ‘bello, Venezuela, it is announced that the steamer Merida, of the Red *“D” line, was in port there bound from San Juan, Porio Rico, to Curacao, with United States mail on board. She was refused clearance papers for Curacao and was delayed thirty-eight hours. Consul Johnson had to mail his dispatch to Willemstad, the prineipal port of Curacao. It is possible that this interference with Unele S8am’s mail may be made an other item against Castro when the final reckoning coms.

Folk in Augusta who have not walked more than teu feet at a stretch for two whole days and nights are out stretching thelr l¢gs.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Capt. Peter C. Hains, jr., and his brother, T. Jenkins Hains, who were arraigned this morn ing charged with the murder of Willian E. Annis were held without bai! to await the action of a special grand jury in September,

Captain Heins and his brother, hand cuffed fogether, and the former this time in citizen clothes, were taken from the Queens county jail today and arraigned in the Long Island City po lice court for the postponed examination on the charge of murdering Annis.

Warden Van Sise and Deputy Sheriff O’Brien were in charge of the two pris oners. Captain Hains was apparently considerably less wrought up than when he appeared in court last week, and his ‘brother was as cool as ever, ~The fact that Captain Hains appeared without his uniform today caused con ciderable comment. His liwyers ex plained, however, that in his previous appearances at court he had worn his uniform bkccause his leave of absence had expired and he thought he would hove to repori at Fort Hancock today. They persuaded him to leave his uni form off. Have Ideas of Own. It was learned today that all the mem bers of the Hains family have long held a tra tional belief that the best way to redress private wrongs was to take the law into their own hands. This was vouched for hy a Government offi ‘cial who has long known both the Hains brothers and their father, This official said that, in his opinion, T. Jenkins Hains should long ago have been placed under restraint and that the mental processes of at least one of the brothers amounts to a blood mania. Governor Hughes notified District At torney Darrin, of Queens county, yester day that he would call a special session of the supreme court for the purpose of expediting the trial of criminal cases in that county, and the most important case to come before the special judge will be that of Hains brothers, Did Not Mention Case. In making his request of the governor, the district attorney did not mention the Hains case specially. He said he want ed to clear up murder and felony cases in Queens county by special session of the supreme court, and the request was granted, according to dispatches from Albany last night, for the same reason that all requests of this character are granted. Governor Hughes said he would appoint a special! judge as scon as he could find one not engaged. The special term probably will begin to morrow. According to customary procedure in such cases the first action of the special judge will be to call an extraordinary grand jury. The Hains case will be pre sented, and, it is expected, a joint in dictment against the brothers returned, Mr. Darrin sai! yesterday he expected that the Hains case would come before the special jury abouf September 21.

Follin and John Anderson, of Granesville distriet, heard the testimony, The entire county is stirred up by the charges against its most prominent eit izen and its largest land holder. This interest was manifested by the great number of persons who drove to Forrest ville to attend the hearing. The at tempt made by John Haskell, brother eof the girls, to shoot Dr. Tebbs last Sat urday night served to augment the ine terest in the case. Mrs. Haskell Prosent. Mrs. Haskell was present with her three little daughters, Edith, aged thir teen; Dorothy, ten, and Louise, seven, and they were the principal witnesses against Dr. Tebbs. The little country schoolhouse was erowded when the hearing began. Mrs, Haskell and her children sat on one zide, while on the other sat the gray haired physician who has been accused. The hearing this afternoon will deter mine whether the accused physician, now who has his liberty on his personal recognizance, will be held for the grand Jury. Dr. Tebbs makes an absolute denial of the charges made against him by the little girls and their mother and says it is merely a pilot to cause him trouble and ruin his reputation. The three little girls are all of re markabie beauty. Haskell Gives Bond. John J. Haskell, the young clerk in the city postoffice, the son and brother, who by reason of his father's feeble condition, regards himself as the pro tector of the family, was yesterday held in $3,000 bond for his appearance before the grand jury to answer to an alleged assault on Dr. Tebbs last week when he fired five shots at the man who, he says, insulted his mother ang sister. Dr. Tebbs was also placed under bond to k the peace by Justice of the Peace ilson M, Farr, at Fairfax yes terday. His personal bonds were taken. Young H ell was brought into court at Fairfax Courthouse yesterday for a reliminary hearing and the iixing of nd. There was an array of counsel on both sides, and the case promises many entanglements and sensations. Judge Thornton, who is on the Fairfax county circuit, came all the way from Manassas to hear the case. Held On Two Warrants. Young Haskell was held on two war rants, one charging shooting with in tent to maim, disfigure, disable and kill, and another charging attempting to shoot, etc. The hearing was merely for the purpose of fixing the amount of bail, as it was agreed by counsel that the case should be heard by the grand Jury. Walter T. Oliver, member of the Leg islature from Fairfax county, and bail commissioner of the county. who repre sents Dr, Tebbs, after reciting the grav ity of the offense of the accused, asked that he pe held in $2,500 on the charges against him, and in $2,500 to keep the peace. Crandall Mackey, Commonwealth's at torney of Alexandria county, replied for the defense, and recited briefi the causes that led to young Haskells ac tions, and asked that the bond be at $500. He also assured the eourt that Haskell had no intention of breaking the peace, and asked that his bond to keep the peace be placed at $500 also. After much debee, and a ques tion as whether Judge Thornton or Jus tice Farr should fix the peace bond, Judge Thornton declded upon $2,000 bond on the charges and $1,000 to keep the peace. Later, upon oath of Mrs, Haskell that she and her children had been threatened by Dr. Tebbs, and that she feared him, counsel for the Haskells asked that Dr, Tebbs be put under bond to keep the peace. After considerable argument, it was agreed to take his personal bonds for $1,000, Dr. Tebbs Is Nervous.

FAIRBANKS MAY GET HEMENWAY’S PLACE Vice President to Be Candidate for the Senate Again.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Aug. 28.—Vice President Fairbanks’ offer of his scr vices to the State Republican commit tee is viewed with peculiar significance today in view of the fact that, unless something unforeseen arises, he will re tire from political life on March 4 cn This “something unforesecn” is what is puzzling the politicians.

His offer is construed by many to mean that he wants to get in touch with his “constituency” again with the object of asking further honor at In diana's hands.

i rm nt

When Fairbanks gave Representative James A. Hemenway. the opportunity of becoming Senator, by accepting the Vice Presidential nomnation four years ago, it was said at the time that should Fairbanks’ cherished ambition, the Presidential nomination, be defeated, Hemenway would make it possible for him to return to the Senate.

Many believe that it will now be put up to Hemenway to make good.

FREIGHT CAR USED AS PATROL WAGON i Chicago Police Arrest 165 Tramps in Illinois Central Rail road Yards. CHICAGO. Aug. 28.—Police, aided by railroad detectives, made a spectacular raid on sleeping vagrants who had taken refuge in Illinois Central railroad freight cars here today, and after an hour's work, arrested 165 of the railway lodgers. An empty. freight car, to which a switch engine was attached, was con verted into a combination patrol wagon and “lock-up.” Two detectives guarded the car door, and as the moving jail rolled slowly down the tracks, polire men harled startled prisoners into its dark depths,

Thrilling pursuit of fleeing tramps marked the progress of the raid. More than 2% men escaped by dodging be tween freight cars and running down the tracks, Three were eaptured as they were about to leap info the lake in an effort to escape arrest. Forty-six of the prisoners gave their names as “Jack Smith.”

Some of the most famous “track destrians’” in the country were in he lot, and every State in the Union was represented. Today's Vital Records. Anthony F. and Catherine M. Ruppert; girl.

FEELING INTENSE AT ATLANTIC GITY I+ L Governor Fort Determined to Compel Indictment of Ille gal Liquor Sellers.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug. 28.— There is a tense feeling in the atmos phere here today in-anticipation of ae tion to be taken by Governor Fort, of New Jersey, to compel the indictment of illegal liquor sellers. 2 Following the discharge of the grand jurors yesterday by Justice Trencharad, when they refused to indict liquor sell ers on the ground that it would hurt business interests in the resort, it was rumored that Governor Fort would take drastic measures today. When ap proached the executive would make no statement as to the future, but his de termined demearor made it plain that he will continue the struggle against whet he thinks to be an infringement of the excise laws. Since the meeting of the grand jury it has definitely been established that the legal fight against the liquor interests is merely a preliminary skirmish, and that it will pe followed by a fierce fight against gambling in Atlantic City. However, the public officers will not at tempt to rout the gamblers unlgss they are successful in their first fight.

This morning Atlantic City stood fac ing an issue which had never before been presented to it: Namely, either successrul defiance of the laws of the Commonwealth or closing of saloons on Susgay under the pressure of martial aw.

gg ee Governor Fort declares that it will be necessury to call an extraordinary ses sion of the Legislature to appropriate money enough to send troops to At lantic City (0 compel respect, and that he stands ready to do this if less severe measures do not prevail.

f Sheriff S. E. Johnson, of Atlantic county, is not on the firing line, So to speak. He believes that the governor cannot call out the State troops, unless there is rioting ard is taking little hand in the fight. He declared that he had not read Governor Fort's proclamation, and even Chief of Police Woasdruff is in clined to be ironical in discussing the crusade. _—— GIRL SHOOTS HERSELF TO SHOW HER “NERVE”

D.,, Aug. 28.—To show her father that she “had the nerve” to shoot herself, the ten-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Stotz leaned over the muzzle of a Winchester shotgun vesterday and released the trigger with a stick, at the same time saying: “Tell hapa I had the nerve to.”

Following the report, the wounded child ran out of the house and fell dead in the road. “I didn’t think he had the nerve to do a thing like that,” was the remark of John Stotz, when a neighbor blew off his head a few weeks ago. The child was impressed with the remark and frequentiy since then had declared she iy not be afraid to do the same thing.

Thompson, and incidentally the town of Rye, where she has a fashionable riu ing academy, are wondering how she is going to get rid of one of the most per sistent suitors that every a pretty girl had. For months she has peen literally bom parded by proposais from one Ernest von Gillman, a middle-aged teacher of equestrianism, who used to live in Rye, but now has an academy in Hartford, Conn.

When he didn't propose directly to Miss Thompson, he proposed over the telephone. And when he couldn't make his plea that way, he wrote it out and intrusted it to’ the mails. When the roails seemed toe slow, he used the elegraph wires.

“I wouldn't be surprised if next he woull propose by wireless,” the fair riding mistress laughed yesterday. She doesn’t want to marry him and has returned scores of emphatic “Noes” wntil she is tired of it. She doesn't want to have him arrested, and, indeed, does not know any charge that could be brought against him if she did.

The dates of the coins run back many years, showing that Mr. Roose had been accumulating geld for long time. The old man had lived alone for a long time, and, while he was known to be rigidly economical and careful in his expenditures, he was not sup posed to be any better off in worldly goods than his neighbors of similar habits. Least of all was he considered to be in any sense a miser. After his death his relatives took possession of his effects, and, expect ing to find little of any value, made no immediate inspection.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 28.—John Gal vin, of Detroit, went through a remark able operation in Grace Hospital yes terday. Gaivin was standing under a scaffold superintending work on St. Mary's Academy, of Monroe, Mich., about four years ago, when a workman accidentally dropped a heavy plank, which struck Galvin on the chest, just over the heart. Several days later a small lump appeared, but Galvin paid no attention to it. The lump grew until recently it became about as large as a two-quart measure. He consulted a physician, who diagnosed the trouble as aortic aneur ism, or an arterial dilation due to weak ness of the walls of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. “To have lanced the growth would have meant sadden death,” said Dr. H. L. Obetz, who conciuled that the only safe treatment weouid be electri cal. A specially prepared insulated hol low needle was run through the skin at the weakest part of the lump. A fine silver wire about fifteen feet long was then inserted. This was attached to a battery and eighty milliampere of elec tricity were turned on.

LEPER WOULD NOT. CARESS HIS WIFE John Early Says He Will Abstain for Their Sake. Spends Restless Morning. i _—

A Imbued with hope by reports from North Carolina that his wife and child had left Asheville for Washington, John Early, the leper, spent one of the most restless mornings since his isolation eight days ago. Early himself at noon Pad heard nothing {rom his wife and as the hours progressed the _ suspense “seemed to become more and more un bearable. YRNCNESEE j

“I only hope that it is true,” he, said. “for the longing for the sight of my wife and baby is the only thing that keeps m3 from being comparatively happy. My wife's failure to write me of her intention has led me to hope that she was endeavoring to raise funds 0 come to me.” i i

“Would you abstain from caressing Your wife and child,” the leper was asked.

“Yes, I believe I would for their sake," he said. “It might not be the best for the, no matter how hard it is for me.”

Early has hopes that his wife and baby may reach Washington eariy this afternoon. Officials of the Health De partment have not been advised as yer of her intention to join her husband, although they would not be surprised

y 11 the woman should come here. i i Say Place Is Damp. The location upon which Early's tent is situated was roundly scored and de- scribed as “damp, unfit for a human being and ex-soldier to live upon,” and a “sickly, wet marsh” at a meeting of Union Garrison Army and Navy Union last night, at which a message of sym pathy was sent the unfortunate man. Several speakers denounced the Health Department and the quarters selected for the leprous patient, and members of the union agreed to use their infiu ence to have the site of the leper’s tent changed.

Dr. MacLean Speaks. Dr. Harry MacLean, acting Hedfith Officer, said the spot chosen for Early's tent was the most desirable one that could be found in the District, under the law governing such matters. “It is necessary that he be kept within the rereincts of the Distriet reservation on which the jail, the workhouse, and the potter's field and contagious hospitals are located.” said Dr. Maclean. “His tent is large and roomy, equipped with an oil siove, and his food and attention ihe best.

Early said today that he appreciated very much the letter of sympathy drafu ed by the Army and Navy Union last evening.

Some of them have contained donations.

One important fact in the affair no body denies—the garter broke. It broke while Miss Burke was at dinner, and the money disappeared while she was running hurriedly upstairs to find a new garter. When she ched her room ghe found that the $189 which had been tucked in her stocking was gone. She reported the loss at te hotel office and a notice was posted.

ROOSTER TOOKAUTO AND GAVE HENS RIDE Claws Lever Till Car Moves and Biddies Cluck Their Delight. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—If this thing had not occurred in the placid and une imaginative village of Cornwallonthe Hudson you would naturally look for the trail of a press agent. As it 5 told in that village, the chronicle proceeds thus: “While the automebile of Dr. Winters was standing in front of the Cornwall postoffice last Wednesday aflerncon, a large and lordly red and black rooster was scratching gravel in the road. A playful ter put the feathered sultan to fiight “Up winged Mr. Rooster with a de fiant ‘C-h-h-u-u-c-k.” The hens followed. Mr. Rooster lighted right on ihe steer ing wheel ,of the machine. The’ he very properly settled in the tonneau. In striving to maintain his balance*the claws of Mr, Rooster brushed the start ing lever, and the machine responded by jerking forward at a lively speed, and the hens behind clucked their dee light. "The auto rattled down Main street, Mr. Rooster sitting calmly on the wheel. **As the machine was crossing Duncan avenue, one of the hens flew forward and alighted on the hubber bulb of the horn. The ‘honk! nonk! honk! that fol lowed attracted the attention of women ‘and children shopping in Main street. They scattered and sought shelter in the stores to escape from the ¢:mon auto that moved without a driver. “Just as the machine reached the top of Deck hill, where there is sharp and dangerous turn, Mr. Rooster, evi dently tiring of his excursion, attempted to fiy off. In deing so his claws wrenched the steering wheel around and the machine negotiated the turn without a mishap. “As Mr. Rooster cleared the wheel, his claws pushed the starting cluteh back and the machine came to a stop in the center of the road. “Chief of Police L’Estrange, who con stitutes the force of Cornwall, ran up and threw his club at Mr. Rooster. It missed and the bird and his gentle com panions flew irto an adjoining garden.” Chief 1’Estrange has affidavits in his possession to convince the skeptical

The Southern Floods.

y 1

The tremendous losses of life and property in the South, incident to the floods in that section, should serve one useful purpose at least. Year by year flood damages are more and more se rious and costly to this country, and the reason, at least in considerable part, is the destruction of forests. The Ohio river has become the most unmanage able of «vv great streams in this re gard; it exacts year aftér year a huge toll of life and treasure from end to end of its valley. The Mississippi's problem grows more serious season by peason, because the system of levees tends constantly to build up a trough, higher than the surrounding country, through which the stream may flow. The sediment of the stream sinking to the bottom raises it gradually, and so the levees must be built up higher and higher in order to restrain the waters. When the levees break the damage is each time more serious because of this condition.

The forest reserve projects in the East ought to reeive a great impetus as the people come more and more to understand the relation of forest de nudation to floods. The southern Ap palachian project, the most magnificent in its conception of all the forest res toration schemes, as it is also the most practical and would be the most pro ductive of good results, involves the very section of country which has just been devastated by the Southern floods.

Public Qpinion and Atlantic City.

As far back as “the time whereof the memorie of man runneth not to the contrarie,” there has been no enforee ment of the law which was not founded in public opinion. And there will be none in Atlantic City. Either the peo ple are determined on a “closed Sun day,” as the excise regulations con template, or they are not. According as they are determined, or not, the saloons will be closed, or not. _~

But those newspapers err which see in the prospective intervention of the governor by force of arms a denial of this ancient precept. New Jersey's executive may close the saloons in a county within his jurisdiction and yet not prove the law superior to the mind ei the public. All that Governor Fort would demonstrate would be that the public opinion of the State was supe rior to the public opinion of any of its parts.

That is a lesson which many Ameri can municipalities have long needed to learn, none more than Atlantic City. And there are those who hope that Jersey's neighbors on the west, as they lock on at this struggle between the law and public opinion on the one hand and lawlessness and public indif ference on the other, will take heart and assert themselves. aes m————————— i A————— i.

The Lesson of Travel at Home, 2

We are all coming home, these days, and some of us have been abroad. So for a while, as we ride in and out to work and home, we shall be living in the memory of Edinborough, or the Riviera or Paris. Then, haply, we shall encounter the man who has really seen the United States and the old, old doubt will arise in ouf minds whether or not it really pays to go abroad until one has wandered through the beautiful gardens nearer *o home. i

f The obvious answer is: Do both. Travel is comparatively inexpensive and there is a wideness of view to be had from association with a dozen dif ferent peoples, whom we rather stupidly call “foreigners,” observing scores of differing eustoms, which travel at home does not provide and never can.

Xo. 21 But whether one travels America “hefore taking” Europe or. fafter,” the wonder is that his experience does not wake all his intimates eager to follow newspapers and magazines have written of the glory of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, of Yosemite Valley, of those marvelous inland oceans we call the Great Lakes. These are the high points of a tour. But they are far from the whole story.

A times the How many Washingtonians, for ex ample, have ever seen a corn crib which holds a quarter of a million bushels? Or the little valley of the Chenango, up in York State, which has a pastoral beauty as great as any of tie rolling hills of Kent and is yet distinctly New ‘World in all its character? Or have been at sea two-weeks withott a sign of seasickness, filling the lungs deep ‘with the wonderful air of Lake Huron, and refreshing Yhe mind with the his tory epitomized by that old cannon in front of, the fort on Mackinac Island? Or have realized that those vessels of the Lakes rival in carrying capacity the largest freighters of the Atlantic, provide the passenger with the best service and best food he has ever ob tained—without extras above the cost of his ticket or fees to countless stew ards—and bring to him as fellow; travelers the most representative and pleascat of his fellow-colintrymen Once one of us has made this voyage he will not wonder that the advertise ments quote—"In all the world no. trip like this.” 2 3

But the very best thing about travel ing within our own boundaries is the new confidence it engenders not only in the integrity but in the perception of American public opinion. No man will despair of our country if he really comes to know the typical American voter. And to know him it is not enough to know the representative men of our own country. We must go out into other States, talk with our fellows of every class, give that same deference to the opinions of others which we ask for our own, before we can fully understand that this blessed land of ours is peopled by” men and women like ourselves hoping earnest!y for its future and like us giving their best to make it secure. The depazture of the squadron of American battleships from the port of Svdney, Australia, leaving behind it numerous souvenirs in the form of sil ver spoons and forks, marks another stzge in the progress of those interna tional amenities in which the world is deeply interested at this time. The precise fate of the spoons and forks must remain ur’ =n for the present, and perhaps continue so until the names of the battleships engraved upon them become more or less obliterated by time —or otherwise. They are, however, mere unconsidered trifles, and will go far to cement the freshly awakened friendship between the two countries. We believe it was Macauley whe wrote the uncharitable lines, “Ye diners out from we guard our spoons.” While no man begrudces a visitor the souvenir a spoon, tis hard to under stend wny any such should bear away a fork. And wonen a multitude board a battleship in the waters afar off, and thence subtract (who would use ihe ambiguous term “abstract” in this connection?) the spoons and forks, do they not consider how difficult it is to replace tl~ articles on the high seas? Nowhere is manufactured silverware more difficult to procure than on the briny deep, whose only fork, and that one too unwisldv for every-day dining purposes, is supposed to be in the pos session of Nontune himself. Farewell, Sydney! There is a plated set for use at the next wart of call. Poor old Uncle Russell Sage! It turns out that he had less than $70,000,000, and, to make matters worse, the State tales nearly $700,000 of this as an inheritance tax.

Leon had broken: his leg in two places by a fall down stairs a week ago. physi cians insisted that the leg wbuld have to come off, but the mother, Mrs. Mary Garroden, of 1839 Third avenue, would not accede to this plan, and yester day's operation, which the surgeons are confident will prove successful, was the result of her pleadings to save her child from becoming a cripple. The operation, the surgeons say, is a most unusual one, and the result will be watched with great interest by the medical fraternity. The bone of the DIVING FOR PEARLS IN CEYLON WATERS Dangerous Occupation Followed by Hardy Indians in Seeking Precious Gems. Very exazgerated stories have been ‘told as tc the endurance of experienced ‘divers under water—that is, of those who go into the depths, like the pearl seekers in the Indian seas, without any ‘mechanical assistance. It is folly to say, as many do say, that the pearl divers of the East are able, by constant practice, to remain under water from ten to fifteen min utes. very skillful and experienced diver: ‘may remain under water for two, but they very rarely remain for three min utes. The best of the Ceylon divers, in fact, do not often con'inue sub ‘merged for more than a mimite and a ‘half, and their condition of health must be very good to permit them 10 do tuis. Those who use the diving drass, which makes the wearer look so frightful that even sharks are said to Lc frightened by it. must be physically qualified for the work. The strain upon diver's physical powers depends mainiy upon the depth io which he ventures. The greatest depth to which the Ceylon pearl divers eu is thirteen fathoms, but the usual cepth is nine fathoms, and they do not go down except when the water is placid, The external pressure on any average sized man, who may be assumed to present about 6,000 inches of surface, would be, at a depth of twenty fatheifia (120 feet), nearly nine tons. e great est depth to which man can safe ly descend with exis appliances, is about 160 feet. A diver goes down with shoe-soles weighing together about twenty-eight pounds, and with fifty-six pounds more on his back and breast. For a depti: of 160 feet he would re ouire to be weighted with not less than 112 pounds, and at the outset any rervous bungling might result in his reaching the bottom wiong end upper most.

Isn't there the .chanc: that some day one of your many enemizs will kill you?” “Perhaps. 1 remember once, years ago, 1 was scared, or, rather, startled, for a moment by one of those fvllows. 1 had secured the evidence and arrested a man for counterfeiting. He was sub sequently sent up for a term of years— 1 forget how many—but I remember that he cursed me in the court room while I was giving my evidence, and threatened, in the most dramatic and blood-curdiing manner to kill me when he got out. The affair had passed out of my memory when a man “ame to me one day years later and told me that this counterfeiter had been released from jai! and had been heard to repeat, in the presence of at least fifty persons, his threats to kill me on sight, 1 was cautioned to he wary, and net to give him a chance to do it. 7 “Two or three months afterward I got ‘off a street car late one night in Phila delphia, I had a heavy bag in each hand. “And who should 1 see, coming toward me, but the man himself. 1 recognized him first. My first thought was for the contents of the bags 1 was carrying— counterfeit plates that 1 had seized and was bringing from Washington to New York. 1 didn't want to get killed and lose those, naturally. It was two blovks to the station, and I couldn't very well run. “It was only a few seconds until I met the man face to face, I was just auto matically abaut to drop my heavy va lises-and puil my revolver when the ex counterfeiter saw and recognized me. He stopped short for an imperceptible instant, and then he turned tall and ran as if the devil was after him. like the coward™hbat he was. Why did he run after he had threatened over and aver again to kill me? I've told you. Further, he knew that I would probably have shot him a fraction of a second before he could spring at me.” —kEx change. boy's leg was =o badly shattered that there seemed 10 way of saving his limb. The mother, however, begged and plead ed with the physicians to postpone the amputation. nally it was decided to try the experiment, and Drs. Ross, Mosher, and Moeckel performed the op eration. The chilé was en the operating table for an hour and a guarter, but, according to the surgeons, he is none the worse for his trying experience. It is w believed that the boy's leg will eventually be as strong as his unfrac tured limb. Mrs. Garroden is very hap py as a resuit of the successful opera tion. Surgeons at Harlem Hospital attracted eonsiderable attention when, on August 5 last, they mended a broken arm with a nail. Charles Nelson, fifteen years old, of 2614 Eighth avenue, had fallen from a car and broken his arm. After resorting to every other method, the hospital surgegns, as a last resort, tried the use of a nail to join the severed bone. The operation proved highly suc cessful and has been widely commented on in medical journals and newspapers generally throughout the country. SAW PUZZLE LATEST.

Nothing is softer than water, yet nothing is more powerful, when properly applied. It is only by practical experi ment that some people can be convinced ot its potent force, At a recent entertainment in Leaven worth a wager was made that the strongest man present could not stand a quart of water dropped into his open hand, drop by drop, from a height af three feet. A strong. maniv fellow eagerly accepted the bet, thinking that to stand the force of such a small quan tity of water was mere child's play. Before five hundred drops had fallen into his hand, he almost cried with pain and said he had enough. After a little water had fallen, each drop seemed to crush his hand, and a blister in the cen ter of it was the result. This is a very practical illustration of the old adage that constant dropping wears away stones. their work of devastation by rumors that re-enforcements were comihg to ald the slender Ame ~an forces.

HAY FEVER SOCIETY HOLDING CONVENTION Bethlehem, N. H., Scene of Meet ing—Interesting Re oorts. BETHLEHEM, N.

These places have been selected for the meetings, as exhaustive investiga tion has shown they are the most fa vorable resorts for hay fever sufferers. Of 154 victims of that trouble who have tarried here at times, ninety-three reported that they were exempt from it while her2, and the remaining sixty one reported that they suffered but mildly while in Bethlehem. PRESENT FICTION DIFFERENT IN STYLE No one who keeps abreast of the fie tion of this decade can fail to notice a curious divergence in style and pur pose from the imaginative literature of the last generation. The change is hardly for the better. Turning to the great mastepieces of Dickens and ‘Thackeray, to the works of George Eliot, and even to the franker pages of George Meredith and Thomas Hardy, one is aware of a delicate reserve and intentional reticence and a regard for ‘the manners of good society. The older novelists did not aesitate to speak ‘of sin on one occasion, nor did they in variably omit allusions to illicit situa tions, but it was not their custom io affront their readers by men and women of the lowest moral type. The coarseness of Bea Jonson, Shakespeare, and Fielding belonged to the period in which they lived and wrote. It savored of the plainness of speech, that belongs to the Old Testament. It had in it a certain rough and primitive sincerity. Goldsmith, "in the *“‘Viear of _Wake-~ field,” glescribes temptation and immor ality, yet any metiher might put the “Vicar of Wakefield” into the hands of any pure-minded child without the slightest hesitation. This cannot be sald of present-day fiction. A large part of it is utterly unfitted for reading aloud in groups of refined ple, eitlier old or young, and is shoc ng in its at mosphere of prurience and modesty. who exposed many grosser ging in his wonderful romances, treats sin as the surgeon treats a cancer.

DENIES MARIE DORD 15 RUNAWAY GIRL

A s————" Frohman Manager Disputes Claim Actress Is California Woman's Daughter. The stdry now going the rounds that Marie Doro, the Frohman star, who ap peared with success in London, is the runaway daughter of Mrs. Douglass Saunders, a widow, of San Rafael, Cal., is emphatically denied by Al Hayman, executive manager of the Frohman staff, a 5 ak 3 5 4 3 3 he 3 it commends itself at! once. Sleeves and body portion “are in one, so! that there are very few Theatrical circles along Broadway were much stirred yesterday by a dis patch from San Rafael, in which it was claimed by Mrs. Saunders that Miss Doro was her long-lost daughter, who ran away from her Western home more than four years ago. To give weight to her claim, the woman stated that the edentification was made through the many pictures of the pretty actress, which have appeared from time to time in the magazines, and that she has corresponded with the stage celeb rity for some months. s— sm She even claims that as Miss Doro's mother, she has been the recipient of anandsome remittances from the actress. The pictures, which she claims to be those of her child, bear striking re ol semblance to Miss Doro. Despite the fact that the woman's claim appears not unreasonable, and also being real fretful because he does not believe a word of it, Al Hayman sees the press agent's side of it and breaks forth into print with a strong de nial, “Why, such a claim is too ridiculous,” said Mr. Hayman. “It is absurd. Miss Doro’s real name is Marie H. Stuart. She is the daughter or Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stuart, formerly of Kansas City, and now. of New York. Marie Dore is this moment at Paul Smith's, in the Adirondacks, with her parents. Her father has a law office in New York, at 25 Broad street.”

pe. PROPER WAY TO USE PAPER PATTERNS FOR WAISTS INSIIRING STYLF The most essential thing in making a shirt waist is a good pattern, and the best patterns are cut for perfect models. Realizing that not one person in twenty has a perfect form, it will be necessary to eliminate some features of the garment or supply something. First cut out the fronts of the waist by placing the material end to end, or fold over material sufficient for two lengths, Pin the pattern carefully, cut and make all notches. Leave paper pat terns on the material until all pieces ara cut out.

BE SEEN SOON

Cut the sleeves next, and then the back. The small pieces are used for bands, collars and the like. Never sew a tight seam without first basting the garment together. If the waist, when put together, is too long on the shoulders or tco high, begin pinning the seam from the neck to the edge. Often one shoulder is higher than the other—a common defect. Fut a pin at the waist as a guide for a waist line. Pin the waist down the froni{, or back if it fastens in the back, draw the waist down over the hips and see if the under-arm seams are too large or small

—le

If too small, take the garment off and rebaste. Get the perfeet shape first, then take all pieces span and apply lace trimming before sewing seams. If one is sure a pattern will fit, the lace can be firmly stitched cn after the pieces are cut. If the armhole is too large. trim only on the under side, tak ing out a crescent about one-eighth of an inch, or larger if necessary.

If a one-seam sleeve is made, when stitched in the armhole the seam is placed one and one-half inches from the under-ar seam of the waist toward the front. It plaid material is used, cut the fronts singly to make both sides alike, especially if the plaid is noticeable. No waist but a sheer lace or net has a lining.

SUMMER GIRLS SPENDING MUCH TIME GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS $00, 00C 000. 2 4 LE ee eee

ag Sud The girl on the plazza of the summer gottage or hotel is very busy these days getting ready Christmas presents or gifts for auiomn brides.

Among the many dainty things she fs making is a wash pincushion. First, there is a six-inch narrow pillow cov ered with c¢nlored silk with an Inside gaver of sachet. ym

For this she cuts two covers equal in gize to extend three inches beyond the i cushion. Linen or muslin or cotton chiffon are all used for these covers, but the pref erence is given to fine coarse linen, which can go to the tub every week.

EE EE ER

The edges of both pieces are cut in shallow long scallops, deeply buttonhol ed with white or colored floss, and across the center of the top cover the initials are embroidered in square block letiers.

Above the scallops is a line of long buttonioles, handsomely worked with crow's feet at the upper ends. These buttonholes must exactly match on the cover. They are laid over the cushion and joined by one-inch colored ribbon tied in a large bow at each end.

This is not a costly pincushion, and makes one of the most acceptable gifts that a bride can get. If more than one is considered necessary, make a set of four, using different colors, one cushion to each room

KNITTED MUFFLER MAKES PRACTICAL GIFT FOR A MAN At last a practical article to serve as a gift t¢ a man has been suggested. Heretofore, unfortanate husbands were forced to accept carpet slippegs and other such tokens of feminine regarc, and the joke papers bave told us, for a fong time, that at Christmas men re ceived cigars and neckties from their wives, both of which are absolutely use less, and both of which they must spend their time admiring for the sake of connubial A The latest idea for a gift is a knitted muffler for evening dress. It is made in just the shape of the ususl black silk ones, only this new style is cro cheted in black silk. The mufflers are about cone and one-half yards long ana ten inches wide. They are crocheted in double crochet on a steel needle, just as the neckties are made. A chain of 123 stitches ic made at the start. The silk for making will cost just $3.60. Nine balls are required. SARTORIAL NOTES Pajamas are now made of the wide “mint stick” ‘striped materials that have recently been popular in shirtings,

Special sales of summer tles are be ing held almost everywhere these days, Many of the scarfs shown are of the heavier silks that are entirely suitable for fall wear. “A word to the wise” should be sufficient. A new shade for scarfs is called “Per sian pink.” It is a sort of cross bhe tween ashes of roses d watermelon, and is only carried by the more exclu sive houses. (Copyrigift, 1908, by Fairchild Co.) SACHLTS ARE MADE OF LAVENDER HEADS

Quaint, Pungent Odor Is as Healthful as It Is De lightful. One of the sachets prepared for the English bazaars is made from lavender heads. Of course, lavender can be bought here in quantities, and its quaint, pungent odor is as healthful as it is clean smelling, A novel way of packing the lavender at these bazaars was the placing of it in flat baskets in stead of in the ordir ry bags of var {ous sizes, shapes, an. materials. The lavender Is first placed in cheese ‘cloth and then fitted tightly into the basket, the cloth being t over the op and the cover then ed’ down. The basi:si should be packed as tightly as possible and iled with lavender rib bons, matching ‘he color of the laven der fiowers. The basket should bb epen enough to admit of the ready escape of the odor. These baskets, when fiat and not large, may be easily packed ip drawers and with one's folded clothes. Is used to secant a room large baskets ‘should be fliled and the cover left so it may be untied and thrown back, the top of the cheesecloth or gauze-covered heads being veiled by a bit of lavender “hina silk or other suitable thin ma ‘te. 31, embroidered perhaps in silver or lavender, and tied at each corner to the basket with a narrow lavender rib bon. The lid should be shut at night to keep the seent in, and if it is desired to retain the scent a long time the bas et may be lined throughout with chamois skin or something of that na ture, so that on'y when the basket is open can the scent freely escape. Easily Made Scent Boxes. Anciner lavender scent case may be made of a small flat cardboard box, which should be perforatcd with many small holes. A stlletto is the proper in strument for doing this. Then fill with lavender. The box should be of the sort in which th 19p comes quite to the bettom of the or else of the type ‘where the edges meet in the center so that the sides may be smooth, Then take a bit of suede or leather or any brocade or cretonne and make a cover like a book cover. Two bits of cretonne or lea*fer joined over the back of the box, where the titie of the book appears, with a strip of different leather or plain stuff, m akes a pretty cover. On the back of the book its title, any fancied name, may be printed in laven der ink. A Quaint Conceit. One such yolume of perfume had the white edges of the box striped with many fine lines with violot ink, to rep resent the edges of the leaves, and a tiny book cover was made out of a bit of green tapestry, the exact size of the box: presumably a box large endugh to fit the tapestry was selected. The woven edges of the tapestry were {urned un der, and the whole was lined with dull greer, taffeta silk slip, stitched to the tapestry. Down the back of the book a strip of dull light green satin ribbon just the deyth of the box was drawn taut, a bit of pasteboard being slipped under the tapestry, and across this ribbon in slant ing letters, the title was painted in lav ender paint. The cover was then tied on the box by three strips of narrow silver braid, arranged like clasps, one at each end and one in the center, the ends being sewed under the edges of the tapestry. 2 RI The holes in the cardboard top and bottom were quite large, as the tapes ry and silk made a rather heavy cover ing. Another book was a white celluloid ‘box full of holes covered with lace, ‘ana tied with lavender ribbon. On the lavender satin back was painted in pale green, “Lavender and Old Lace.’ WITH PARTY ATTIRE. All the littln» novelties which go to finish the dainty tollet of a little maiden are [nteresting to loving mothers and friends. The very newest idea is to em broider a halr ribbon. The erdinary five-inch ribben is used in taffeta or satin, as the case may be, and a de sign is made at the mitered end, while the buttonhole stitch keeps the edge from raveling. The idea is pretty, par ticularly when a sash is also made to match the hair ribbon. Of course, one would. not embroider an ordinary hair ribbon intended for school wear, but for party attir. it is just a little touch, for little maidens may not wear the ornaments and trimmings appropriate for older sisters. The embroidery Is done in filo and Persian floss—the form er used to carry out the design, the latter to work the :buttonhole stitch.

It wears for a much longer time than a cane seat and is, in the end, far less expensive. The leather may be procured at any har ness maker's, and strips about one and one-half inches widi: are needed. These are woven in and out and fastened to the four sides of the chalr, It will re quire for the rerage-sise Shap about eight strips either way. When brass tacks fasten each strip at the end it makes a real good-looking affair. This sort of seat is particularly effective if the chair is made of flemish oak or mis gion style, and it is an a mirable ad dition to the furniture. By MAY MANTON.

PROVE OF STAND WEST HAS TAKEN 8 a Congratulated on His Posi “on Regarding Location of Substation.

Commissioner West has received number of letters from business men &nd others of Bouthwest Washington congratulating him on his stand with reference to the location of a sub: gtation in that section. The following communication was re ceived today from J. Sondheimer, and 511 Seventh street southwest: mY a! i r 008 i “It is with great pleasure that I learn of your attitude with regard to the de termination of the railrcad company to build an $80 000 station at Fourteenth and Water streets. I can safely say that the majority of the propertyowners and residents of the southwest are bit terly opposed to the Fourteenth street site, and agree that a far better loca tion for the depot would be either on the railroad property on C street, be tween Four-and-a-half and Seventh gtreets, or on the public ground on E street, between Four-and-a-half and Ninth streets,

i

Approves of Site.

“Personally, I think the last men tioned property the better site for the station Why not deed this ground, which in its present condition is an expense to the Distrtet to the railroad company in consiaeration of what they have spent on their anticipated Four teenth Street Station?”

8 i be, ere eT i 1 Residents of other sections of the city are interested also in the selection of the site, and are urging the location of the station between Four-and-a-half and Seventh streets, anid

In a letter to Commissioner West, H. Hail, of Fourteenth and Harvard streets northwest, has the following to i y:

“The object, as I understand it, of building a substation south of Pennsyl vania avenue is to furnish a convenient depot, more easy of access than is the Union Station, for local traffic between Washington and Alexandria and other points south. The location of such a ftation at Fourteenth street would al most entirely defeat the object sought to be attained, ang it is doubtful, owing to the inaccessibility of that location, if a station at that point would be used at all by those for whom it was intend ed, and who now use the temporary platform at Eighth street and Maryland avenue. because of its central location and easy access to the street cars,

i

rs 1 rn

Is Not Desirable. “The great distance and absence of street car facilities would render the location less desirable than the Union Station, and it might as well not be built at all if it !s to be located at such a distant and inconvenient point.”

y g The deciding vote will rest with Com missioner Macfariand, who is away on his vacation. It is believed, however, that he wiil fayor the site upheld ov Commissioner West, notwithstanding the possibility of involving the District in mandamus proceedings to compel the Commissioners to approve the Four teenth street site. i

j Morrow's View. ees ue

In advocacy of his position regarding the Fourteenth street location, Engineer Commissioner Morrow said today that the site was determined upon after a conference with the Senate and House District committees, with a view to future as well as present conditions.

ET

“In consideration of the growth eof business interests in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street, there will, in twenty years, be a demand for a station in that location, and the railroad company, in my opinion, will have to abandon the Station between Four-and-a-half and Seventh streets and build in that local- ity,” said Major Morrow. “This is sim- ply a question of fair treatment. 1 do not believe in hitting a railroad man every time he shows his head because he is She representative of a big corpora~

“It is my belief that the wishes of the majority of the public should be re spected, and if all the conditions were known, the majority would favor the Fourteenth street site.”

MelIntyre, chief counsel for the Hains brothers, said he .did not care whether a special grand jury would be called or not, but said that he would not allow himnself to be forced to trial before he had had ample time for prep eration of the case.

“There is no way we can be forced to trial without due and reasonable time for preparation,” he sald, “I expect to be fully prepared by November 15, ana shall eppose any sitempt to compel us io go into court before that date. This, in fact, is an unusually short time for the preparation of so important a case. “I shall make no attempt to string the trial out. I don’t belleve it will take more than a week. I shall not oppose joint trial of the defendants, as other wise great additional expense would be ents:led on both the county and the defendants, “In the ordinary course of events the case will be tried by Judge Garretsun, who has been assigned by the appellate division to sit in Queens in pit Ko and November. The judges in the second Judicial department are as able as any in the State, and Judge Garreison is a man of wide experience in both eivil and criminal jaw, both’ as lawyer and as judge.”

Gives Lawyer's Name. Because of insinuations that the un named lawyver who declared Tuesday that he had heard Annis threaten to kill Captain Hains on sight was myth, the lawyers for the defense yesterday made public his name.

He said he had seen two residents of Baltimore who were in New York ciubs when Annis made boasts of alieged relations with Mrs. Haine and made threats against her husband. One of thesa, he said, was a minister and the other an army eof ficer. Both had assured hira, he said, that they would testify to what they had heard if called on, Mrs. Hains Wrote Annis. Joseph A.

Mr. Darrin said he might ask Mrs. Hains to testify for the prosecution, but could not tell definitely until he had talked with her. Mr. McIntyre repeated what he had previously said—that it was a maiter of utter indifference to the de fense whether Mrs, Hains testified or not.

The same side of the moon is always resented to the inhabitants of tne earth ecause the time in which the moon revolves on its axis is exactly equal to the time it takes the moon to go around the earth. This can be best illustrated if a boy ties a string to a ball and swings it above his hea The same side of the ball will always face the hand holding the string. As the moon's axis is not pe ndicular to the plane of her orbit, and there is an inclination of the lunar orbit to that of the ecliptic the poles of the moon lean alternat-ly to and from the earth. Consequently we are able to get a view of a little more than one-haif of the moon.

“1 doubt if the men who have reared this monster of power and influence,” he said, “known as the daily press, are themselves aware of its greatness, its bulk, its potentialities. In its entirety it is the product of such a multiplicity of diversified effort that contemplation of it staggers the intellect. And yet the press, as a whole, is so harmonious, despite its varying views, that it is al ways possible to tell what it is going to do. We know, for instance, that it will condemn crime and aid in its detection; denounce wrong and search for rem edies; uphold virtue and demand its protection; uncover shams and ridicule their existence. Even so much unanim ity is out of the question in mere money making pursuits. m—

A screen of wood or canvas, fixed on a light frame, and having in the center a circular aperture of eighteen inches in diameter, is erected. Behind the hole {s fixed a bag net, and the main object of the players, whe stand some dis tance away, is to throw a number of colored balis, bv means of the wand, into this bag. The wand has alt one end a peculiarly shaped crook for holding the ball, but some little skill is necessary to retain the ball in it for the purpose of making the throw. The number of “pot balls” to be scored Ly each side before it can complete the first stage of the game corresponds witli the number of plavers on each side. When either side has scored the number of “pot balls” agreed upon, it enters upon the second stage, and it at once obtains a single “zoned” ball. Whichever side then first succeeds in scoring its “zonk ball” wins the game.

A SENATORIAL GRAVEYARD. By the defeat of Chester I. Long at the primaries Kansas consigns one more of its Senators to its political grave vard. During the last forty years ill fortune in one shape or another has pursued the office which Long must soon vacate.

In 1865 James Henry Lane, after a stormy career, was elected Senator from Kansas, only the next year to be strick en by paralysis and to die a suicide’s death. Edmund G. Ross foreteld when he voted against impeachment of Pres ident Johnson that he was digging his political grave. The prediction was realized. He was virtually starved out of Kansas, and last year died in pov erty in New Mexico. Senator Pomeroy failed of re-election because of charges of bribery. a intscmmp—

Later came the brilliant Ingalls, who after serving three terms was swam in the tidal wave of Populism that swept over Kansas in the early nine ties. Peffer, the Populist, succeeded him, lasted one term and was retired to obscurity, where he still survives. Later came Senator Burton as a Re publican, who while in office was in dicted for practicing before the exec utive departments and served a term in jail.—New York World.

A cdriv ing rain had cleared the' walk of nearly all its promenaders. As the chair proceeded toward Rhode Island avenue, heavily masked figure darted out of the shadows, snatched away the rubber covering in front of the chair, and ordered Roberts to get out. Scarcely had the society man touched the board walk than the stranger raised a revolver and fired two shots at him at close range. Roberts fell with a groan. A stream of blood trickled from the wound and dyed his shirt bosom. Policeman Hears Shot. Two blocks away, Fred A. Rust, a policeman, heard the shot and rushed to the pier. He saw a stylishly dressed man staggering to his feet, at the side of the rolling chair, in which a young woman, handsomely gowned, was wee ing hysterically. “Quick; take me to a hospital,” gasped Roberts, as the bluecoat ran up. AS he was being placed in the roiling chalr and hurried to one of the avenues, Rob erts briefly told the policeman that he had been held up by a masked man and gave him what little description he was able to. Rust hailed a passing automobile, and placing the injured man in it, made a quick run to the City hospital, Mrs. Williams followed in a ’bus, and after inquiring as to the injured man's con dition, returned to the hotel, where she has remained.

Aug. 28.-~The storm which has raged here since Sunday broke in part teday with a cessation of rain, but the fioods still centinue through eastern North Carolina, where the rivers and streams remain swollen with the water coming down from the highlands as strong and fast as ever. The damage to cotton, tobacco, and corn in eastern North Carolina and southside Virginia amounts now to al most complete ruin. Railrcad traffic is still badly tied up as the result of the washing away of trackage and the un dermining of bridges, many of which are today completely sone.

i FALLS SIXTY FEET, NOT BADLY HURT Colored Woman Leaps From Police Court Window to Cement Pavement. Frustrated in an attempt to fight her way to libérty as she was being taken into the female prisoners’ cell at the Police Court, after just having received a sentence of fifteen days on a charge of disorderly conduet, Gertrude Brown, colored, tore her way through a heavy wire screen at the top of the washroom door into an adjoining room on the third floor of the building today and, hanging from the window sill, sixty feet from the ground, dropped to the cement pavement in the court yard be low Aithough the woman's arm struck an abutting casement on the second floor, and she bounded outward several feast, an examination at the Eme Hos~ pital, where she was hurried the ambulance, showed that she received only slight contusions on her left arm and side, and bruises about the ab domen. The physicians say that while she might be suffering from internal injuries, this does not seem probable. Massey Sees Her Fall. Agent Massey, of the Prisoners’ Aid Society, and Pauline Perry, a colored girl, employed in the law offices or Perri W,. Frisby, whose windows look into the courtyard where the woman fell, werg witnesses of the attempted eos cape. Mr. Massey was standing near a window overlooking the yard when he saw a body fall,

Hearing a woman groaning and screaming, he rushed to the yard and, picking her up, carried her to the room ¢n the first floor where the prisoners are transferred toc the vans to be taken to the jail and workhouse. Calling to Richard Hughes, a balliff, to take charge of the Brown woman, Massey telephon ed to the hospital for an ambulance. The prisoner was arrested about 2 o'clock this morning, with Cora Berry, of Pomeroy court northwest, by Officer Williams, of the Eighth precinct. Both were said to be drunk and showed evi dences of having been under the in fluence of drugs. When they were brought to court this morning, to be tried, the Brown wom an made a scene. She pleaded with Agent Massey to tell her friends about ber arrest and ask them to bring mouey for her fine. Friend Goes Free. Shortly before court opened, a friend paid Cora Berry's collateral, which was forfeitel. When her companion was set free, Gertiude Brown raged about the cell in a crazed manner, and tried to rush through the door. Then she went to th: barred windows shrieking loudly as she tried in vain to break through. When taken into the court room, she created another scene, but went quietly back to the dock when sentenced. Other prisoners say that she went im mediately to the wash room. ¥From the appearance of the wire netting and the manner in which a heavy board was torn away, it is presumed that she stood on the top of a stand to tear out the sereening. Crawling and pulling herself through the narrow aperiure, which is no larger than a sewer {ie, she tore away the board and ne’ilag on the other side, and dropped to the room, which has no bars at the windows, Pauline Perry, the girl who works in P. W, Frisby's office, saw her clamber ing through the window, and called to her. She climbed back into the room, and then, suddenly regaining her cour age, dashed to the unprotected window, puslied herself through, and hung for several seconds to the sill. Weakened by effects of the drink and her strug gles, she was unable to hold longer, and fell to the ground, Had the woman not been stunned by her fall, it would have been weil-nigh impossible for her te have escaped, ad the coutryard In which she dropped in surrounded on all sides by a fifteend foot cement wall, which is, In turn, SErauEied by a board fence ten feet high, A CAREFUL MAN. When Dawson reached town the other day he was suddenly seized with a ter rific toothache, and he repaired at once to a dentist, Investigation showed that the tooth was in such a condition that the only way to extract it comfortably was to put the sufferer under the in fluence of gas. Consequently Dawson threw himself back in the chair and the tube was applied. He did not succumb any too readily, but in the course of time he was sleeping peacefully, and the offending molar was removed. “How much, doctor?’ asked the pa tient after the ordeal was over. “Ten dollars,” said the dentist, busi ness being dull “Ten dollars?” roaved Dawson. “Yes, sir,” said th: dentist. “It was an unusually hard job getting that tooth out, and you required twice the ordinary amount of gas.” “Humph!” ejaculated Dawson, as he paid up. ‘‘Here's your money, but I tell you right now the next time I take gas from vou you've got to put a meter on me." —Harper's Weekly.

The announcement comes through the publishing of the estimates asked by Judges Kimball and Mullowny for the fiscal year ending July 1,190. The esti mate asks that the sum of $51,000 be ap propriated, this to include a raise in the salaries of a number of the employes. One of "the employes who has been connected with the court for years and is in a position to be well acquairted with the subject, sald today: “As a mater or fact, the Police Court of the District is a means of the largest revenues of the city of Washington, Tast year, the sum of $105,000 was turn ed into the District coffers for fines and forfeitures of collateral. This amount was more than twice the ‘sum expended for salaries, jury fees, run ning expenses, and extensive improve ments to the buildings. If all the branches of the Government paid one half this revenue, which is more than 60 per cent of the cost of running the department, the city would grow rich.” Those named in the estimales for an fnerease of salary are: N.

i SNAPSHOTS. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 28.— Owen Moran is following the pace set by Stanley Ketchel in the mauling of sparring partners, and probably will soon experience the same difficulty as Stanley in finding human punching bags, whieh are not as plentiful as they used to be. a an i se gave three all that they wanted, and a little more at Shannon's villa vesterday. He has the punch of a lightweight, and his muscles are ¢nor mous for a little fellow. Battling Nelson had a great crowd at his training quarters yesterday at Milletts, including a number of women. Bat sized up the crowd, and concluded tc give them some entertainment not down on the bills. He tore into his sparring partners, ‘‘Red” Cornet and Perry, as if he were going to elimmate them from the map. When the Battler gets rough, there is none rougher, as Perry and Cornet cen testify. “Red's” beauty was more or less messed up by Danish mitts, ‘and Perry was also chew ed up some. i Certainly the Dane never was strong er or more full of ginger than at pres cnt, and apparently he can't get enough work to do. Willus Britt has to tone him down, but Britt believes in rough boxing as he argues this is Bat's strongest card in the ring, especially aczainst a finisliea boxer like Gans. i i Aok ok kodok doh kd doko

Twining put up an excellent game in the field, but could do nothing with Kraft's slants. In six innings Twining could get but four safeties, while six fanned. Kraft was steady at all times, passing none and hitting but one. i Buckley was much in evidence, and, with Kraft, was responsible for Manhat tans’ victory. Besides accepting five out of six chances, he poled out three hits out of as many times at the bat, and crossed the countirg block once.

HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. 23.—Wing, weather, and ground conditions were most unfavorable for the competition in the fourteenth annual open golf cham pionship, which began at Myopia yes terday. The high wind worked havoc with the best directed shots of the more proficient players, and the green was so slow, because of the recent rains, that the *‘duffers” had almost as much chance holding a ball as the ‘more ex pert. As a result of the first two rounds the different sections will have the fol lowing representatives among the first eleven: Chicago, 5; New York, 3; Massa chusetts, 2; and Mexico, 1. “Willie”” Smith, the *‘Mexican,” was apparently ‘he only player: who was not affected by the almost insurmount able conditions. This was shown by the fact that he was out in 38 and home in 41, in the morning round, and re turned 82 in the afterncon, a total of 158 for the day. This was three strokes better than J. J. Jones, the home Jrotessiona], who finisired second, with 16% while “Alec” Smith came third, a stroke worse, his 38 for the hcmeward journey in the morning being the best of the day for the last half. Gilbert Nichols was in such trouble in the morning that he holed out on home green in 8). He, however, re deemed himself in the afternoon with 7i, the best card in the second round.

Blankenship’s Return Dispels Last Worry About Nationals With Him and Street as Catchers, It's Up to Team to Produce Results in 1909—Hope for Sixth Place. hoPh.llp™ Two games today, beginning 2 p. m. If the Washington ball club does not make quite a splurge next season we are afraid Manager Cantillon will not receive much more sympathy than “Affinity” Earle's pew wife is eatitled to. TLe latest announcement that Cliff ‘Blankenship, the catcher, is willing to return to the fold and play with the Washington club next season was ail that was needed to round out the roster and give a definite complexion te the tean: of 1905. Additional bhackstops were an absolute necessity for the club, as Jack Warner retires this year to bhe come a magnate on his own account at Galveston, and Street and Kahee couid not possibly do ail the work for an 1Md-game schedule. Several other major clubs are hard up ior catchers and first class talent ir the minors is so scarce that beyond the possibility of landing Roth, of Milwaukee, there was little in sight for Washington. The willing ness of Blankenship to return to fast company because his business ventures in California were not up to his hopes, delieves the doubt about the work be hind the bat. There was never any trouble between Blankenship and the club management. He simply qui* because he thought he saw a chance to settle down for life in a successful business ou the Coast, where a sore arm should. not mean the end of his income. He had the best wishes of the club, and will be wel comed with open arms. He is one of the speediest sprinters the majors, is a good catcher, can bat well at times, and has a personality that is a cradit to the game. He had a phenom enal streak of ha luck last year in the matter of getting his fingers hurt, so that he caught less than thirty games in the entire season, but the answer is that somebody had his fingers crossed for Blankenship. The year before in the Pacific Coast League, Blankenship offigiated in something like 154 games, and regularly handied two spitbail specialists, yet did not lose a day be cause of accidents. Nobody can tell when a backstop is going to meet with a series of misfortunes to legs or digits, bu! on form there is no reason why Blankenship should not be able to go through the American League struggle with no more than the ordinary number of mishaps, Tae dope is that Street will be the regular catcher and Biankenship the trusty reserve man. Some pitchers work belter with some catchers than oth rs, just as Walter John devel op<+i a sudden spurt when Kahbe began to 1ceive his delivery. Bilakenship will fall naturally into a combination’ wil one or two the twirlers, and to that extent becon.e a regular. With him and Street going at their best the fans will have little to worry about in that de partment, while Mike Kahoe still re mains as good as there is in the busi ness to help out on occasions and aiso 10 develop? the wild, untamed talent that may be on the string of si.) men. The fact that the game of Wednesday end the doubleheader of vesterday with (‘leveland were postponed, will cause (ouble-headers today and tomorrow in this fair city, the hostilities starting oa both days at 2 p. m. if the management does; not change its mind scine more on the subject of naming the time. Joss and Clarke and Liebhart and Bemis for Cleveland, with Hughes and Street and Smith and Street for Washington are still the battery nominations for today. If the sun makes up its mind to be good tomorrow it is possible that jesse Pannehill will pitch ome of the james against Cleveland The happiest man in town today is Tannehill, for L¢ »elieves ‘the trouble in his shoulder has been straightened out by the osteopathic treatment, and he goes around *elling everybody who will listen. /s soon as Terry Turner hit here Taranehill dug him up and persuaded him to take a chance on it. with the result that Turn er also feels mich better in his salary wing. Turner is taki the treatment right along, ang feels like he has been through a threshing machine, put the muscles do seem to be back in their nlace, Turner expects to play today with all his might to see whether it is a real cure or whether the arm will go bad with every extra exertion. He hac the sympatiy and good will of all the men on both teams, for with him in his old form Cleveland will be a thorn in the flesh of ail the ~ontanders for the American League pe. nant, with a re mote possibility of getting the bunting tself. The Washington team is going tty good just at present, and there is not a sign of weakering in the make up. Got that? Then note that the Boston club is slumping like the Thaw bank By THOMAS S. RICE

SON. krgo, there is hope that we 14 land in sixth place for this season. Louis took a couple from Boston yes terday, all of which helped Washington. An even break is by no means too much for the local fans to expect in the two le-headers with Cleveland, as the Nationals have already taken eight out of fifteen games from the Naps, while it is not good betting Beston will get fat playing St. Louis today and tomer t That Cantillon would have to #3 the experiment of using Unglaub a! thirds no matier how well Bill Shipke was flelding, was a cinch, Bill hits the ball wi much violence at times, bu: there are other times when there are not enough keys on the typewriter to record properly what he fails to do. Unglaub is some third baseman in fielding and his it on Bill in swatting, wherefore cominon sense would indicate that he be given a trial at the bag. If Unglaub gets away with it in preity geod Fy. you are lsely ig Ser im start a- lot games, in which, if Washington happens to get a good lead by jumping on the opposing pitcher in the early rounds, he will be deposed and Shipke sent to third to brace up the defense in an ef. fort to make runs already obtained win the day. That schedule was tried on sey eral opecasions last year, but bv the pure cussedness of basebail luck, in not an instance when Bill was sent in to bolster up the breastworks at third did he have a ball hit to him. Still, it was ood dope and that kind of a coinci ae cannot centinue foreyer. Fielder Jones makes a pretty weak roar against the double umpire system. He complains that a second ump on the diamond gets in the line of vision too much and interferes with the work of the fielders. If that is all that's going to stop double umpiring. Jones may as well save his breath. While the arbitrator on thg bases may obtrude once in awhile, th wil: not ba a cir cumstance to the other times vhen he will be right on the spot and give the fielder the full benefit of what ne may accomplish in handling the ball. Jones’ objection i= so weak we are inclined to believe he was kiddinug himself or the reporter who first printed the in terview.

It was an ancient beachman who, :ike the hooded crow, makes it his business to prowl aleng the tidemark after every lingh tide, who brought us the news that “another 0° them oid wells” had been brought to light by the falling away of the face of a crumbling cliff, says a writer in the London Globe. We had often heard of those old “wells,” and en making inquiries among the fishermen we had been told that they had Ptelong ed te- old “housen” which had long since disappeared, but a remark made by a learned antiquary who was an au thority on Roman sites and Romar roads had caused us to doubt the truth or the fishermen's assertions, and what we saw when we stood on the beach at the foot of the cliff soon convinced us that the antiquary was right and the fishermen were wrong. For there at our feet lay half a Roman patera of plain red ware, and all round it numerous fragments of coarser pottery were strewn; while high up the sloping face of the cliff a perpendicular patch of dark soil in the midst of the undisturb ed sand plainly marked the place from which this fragmentary earthenware had fallen. The fishermen had rezog nized that this patch of dark seoii in éicated that a hole had been dug in the sand and afterward filled again, and in iheir opinion a hole twelve feet deep und three feet wide must have heen a well: but its contents clearly showed the purpose it had served, and proved that a Roemnan villa had stood some where near it,

It was not easy to climb (le cliff, down the face of which little cascados of sand were continually descending, but a horrowed ladder helped to over come the difficulties and supplied suie foothold, while we dug into the davs soil and lowered it in a basket to ibe beach. From the cottages by the envc our proceedings were watched (h much interest, and from time to L.me a curious fisherman or fisher boy, wear ing an air of indifference or abstraction, would sauntér toward us along the beach. At first it was believed that we were searching for sand martins' eggs, but when the basket filled with earth was seen, the suspicions of nest raiding were abandoned in favor of the idea that we were seeking “hidden monay.” There is scarcely a country with out its tradition of buri hoards of gold or silver, and there seems tc be some reason for believing that such traditions have come down to the pres ent generation of country folk ‘rom un settled times, when it was cust to bury money in order to save

A {ew pieces of Samian ware seemed to have belonged to a fine vessel which had ornamented with mythological figures, and there were some bluish fragments with a scroll pattern in white relief. The old beach man who had brought us the news of the discovery of the pit remarked that the people who had broken so much crockery must have been “regular smashers,”” and he added significantly that he had known of a house where a difference of opinion among the ininates sometimes led to a destruction of the plates and dishes. The character of the occupants of the vanished Roman vilia rose in the estimation of this an cient longshoreman when we unearthed a large quantity of oyster shells, almost every shell having a little notch in its adge, where it had been opened with a Boman knife.

The local stock market was dull to day, brokers being satisfied with an ef fort to fill a few orders of long stand ing. Trading was insignificant in vel ume, beirg limited te about 40 shares, Among trades Washington Jas sold 25 shdres at 64%; Mergenthaler, shares, at 208, and 190 shares of United States Trust at 9%, The feature of the day was an offer to sell some shares of Graphophone commen at $15 a share. More than six months have gone by since there was any activity in this stock, It used to sell around and even higher. Since last year's panic it has taken a back seat on the local exehange, having no support. ¥eor months in the early part of the present year it was not quoted as offered or bid. About two months ago some broker offered the stock at $40 a share, and that Liars been on the board as the official offered price since it was made. Yesterday a broker announced that he had some shares tc sell ang that he would take $20 a share for it. The offer feli- dead. Then he said he would give any buyer 35 share to take the Jot off his hands, This was equivalent to offering the stock at $20, which he did, with no takers, It was stated after the meeting that the company is understood to be making much less money than formerly, owing to the waning of the popularity of the instruments, and the impression seems to be growing that the stock will not soon be what ii was Jormerly in the matter of intrinsic ard speculative value.

Canada’s Lone Woman Legal Light Casts Longing Eyes at Parliament TORONTO, Aug. 28.—The woman law yer is no longer a rarity in the United States, but, apparently, the women of Canada have noi been so strongly at tracted to the legal profession, for the first and only woman lawyer of the Dominion is Miss Clara Brett Martin, of Toronto, who was recently admitted to the bar.

Miss Martin achieved her first victory ‘when she succeeded in becoming a lJaw ver. In Canada there is an organiza on known as the Benchers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 35.—The romantic clopemert and mariage of Miss Ger trude Helen Wageman and Robert Courtland Manning, which hot long ago was a sensation in St. Louis and Buf falo society, culminated disastrously in Judge Mangan’s court today, when the unhappy bride sought a dissolution of maritai ties. The piointiff iz a daughter of the late Alfred J. Wageman, St. Louis peliticai leader and man of wealth who was a prominent figure in public life. The defendant is a son of Cortland Man ning, retired eapitalist of Suffalo. N. Y. An effort to get personal service on the defendant resuited in an explana tion at his Buffalo home that he was automobili in some distant t of the country. Mrs. Manning is iiving with her mother and sister in Chicago. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Man ing charges her husband with cruelty and non-support. Behind these techni cal charges a.€ stories of midnight sup pers with cnorus girls, for which the husband is said to have had a strong penchant. The couple were married December 31, 1906, in the “Little Church Around the Corner,” New York city. Mrs. Manning filed her bill edrly in the spring and, until now, the contents have been carefully suppressed.

The mother of the defendant is prom inent in social and club circles in Buf falo. She is president of several clubs and literary societies and has contrib uted to magazines ander the name, “Jessie Wade Manning.” i Short Line i EB Washington to Baltimore Round trip 30c USE THE BELL 22 12th Sireet P.

And theu in a still louder tone he cailed out: "I'll let you know that I am a gentleman!” The major answered: And I'll let you know that I am a gentleman!” "And I'll let you know,” yelled the big man, “that I am Colonel Wilson of Woodville, Miss.” "And I'll let you know,” vocife rated the major, “that I am Major Aris ‘Throckmorton of the Blue Licks, Ken tucky.” “And I'll let you know.” screamed the big man, “that I run for the State senate in my deestriek last summer, and that I was beat four votes!”

ANTIVIVISEGTIONISTS WIN FIST ROUND Physicians Agree to Discon tinue Heart Massage Ex periments on Rabbits. While sill maintaining that vivisec tion is an invaluable aid to science, the Washington physicians who have been experimenting with rabbits in their heart massags research, have decided to abandon the use of the animals. They admit that their action is caused by the threatened activity of the Anti vivisection Society, memlers of which, through The Times, made known their determination to carry the fight to Congress this year and conduct a gen eral campaign against the practice in the District of Columbia. It is not that the physicians fear the activity of the society, they say, si much as the indignation of the antivivi sectionists and their sincere desire that the practice be discontinued. The physicians, declare, however, that ihe antlvivisectionists seem to be totally ignorant «f the conditions attending the experiments. “There is absolutely nothing barbarous about vivisection,” suid one of the ex perfmenters. “It demonstrates the prac ticability of certain operations, and in many instances has rescited in the sav ing of human lives. Were the practice abandoned altogether, surgery probably ‘would he at a standstill. Without prac tical experience it is Impossible for the worid to progress. We cannot perfect theories without having an gnimate sub ject on which to work. "I do not care to deliver a tirade against antivivisectors, but I wish to say that the major portion of such sym pathizers are totally ignorant of the conditions attending a vivisection ex eriment. Were they to witness such ests, they probably would change thei: mind. It is better always tc sa-rifice the life an animal than tg permit a human be to die.” McGUIRE RESIGNS AS BOSTON CHIEF BOSTON, Mase, Aug. 28 Jim Me Guire has resigned as manager of the Boston American baseball team.

When he was governor of Massachusetts he took his entire graff out for a drive and surprised them by having the rigs put up at an op:n field and announcing there was to be a baseball game. Twe nines were chosen and the game began. Pretty soon some body came along the road, “What teams are they?” he asked of one of the drivers. “Why. the man pitching is the gov ernor of Massachusetts,” the driver re plied. “The one catching is the lieu tenant governor, the first baseman is a Congressman, the second baseman is the judge advocate general” “Say!” interrupted the masser-by, “perhaps you would like to know who 1 am.
