Baltimore, Aug. 10.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion pugilist, died this morning. Gans died of consumption, which manifested itself about a year ago. Late last spring he went to Arizona, with the hope of restoring his health, but the disease had been too deeply seated, and he declined rapidly. He was brought here last week to die. He was 34 years old. His Last Request "I know I'm going home to die," Gans is quoted as saying, "but I want to see my old mother and the two children before the end comes. My last two fights left me in too weak a condition to prevent consumption." Joe Gans true name was Gant, the name Gans having been fastened upon him early in his ring career by a mistake of a referee. He began his ring career in 1894, but, prior to that time, he had made a name for himself as a fighter about a fish market in this city, where he was employed. His first fight for money is said to have brought him $4. The largest purse for which he ever fought was $33,000, in his first bout with Nelson. Of this Gans received but $11,000, he having agreed to give Nelson the remainder, win, lose or draw. The Fight With Erne. Gans won the title of lightweight champion from Frank Erne at Fort Erie in one round in 1902, and lost it to Battling Nelson in 1908 in the seventeenth round. When he knocked out Frank Erne at Fort Erie in 1902 in the first round, he just put over that one poke, and Erne went backward twenty feet and fell senseless, while Gans walked to his corner in unconcern. No man in ring history, save George Dixon, ever fought so often as Gans did. He faced every man of his time who was in his class. There have been four eminently great lightweights, McAuliffe, Lavigne, Gans and Nelson. Nelson, great-hearted boy that he is, all nerve and endurance and grit, is not in the highest sense the master of the game that the other three were. And when all the fine points of finish and form are considered, Gans had a something on them all, which is not to say positively that he could have beaten either McAuliffe or Lavigne. men. He was never given to boasting of his fighting abilities, and walked around the town without any strut, or without imposing himself upon any person aggressively. The fighting game is largely done for now, and will not occupy that public attention in the future which was its portion in the past. But pugilism will always be discussed and its incidents recalled. And so long as this is so, Joe Gans will be remembered as one of the very small and select number of men who brought to the game a wonderful versatility and mastery, combining intelligence with courage, imagination with skill, and qualities of leadership with powers of punishment. He belongs with Dempsey, McAuliffe, Dixon. Many say that making the low weight demanded by Bat Nelson in their last two battles sapped Joe's vitality and he fell an easy victim to tuberculosis.

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER'S DECISION From Law Notes—By Samuel Want Chief Justice Fuller was confronted with several phases of the negro question during his long career on the supreme bench. For failing to protect a negro prisoner from being lynched after an order was made by the Supreme Court staying proceedings pending an appeal by the negro from an order of a lower federal court denying him relief on habeas corpus, he held Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga, Tenn., guilty of contempt (United States v. 214 U. S. 386). In Thomas vs. S. 212 U. S. 278, he refused to reverse the conviction of a negro on the ground that race prejudice in the place of his conviction was so strong that negroes were excluded from the list of persons drawn to serve as jurors. He concurred in holding that the federal courts have no jurisdiction, under the Federal oC constitution or laws, of a conspiracy to prevent negroes from making or fulfilling labor contracts made and carried out in a State (Hodges v. United States, 203 U. S. 8); and that State statutes prohibiting corporations from teaching white and colored children together (Berea College v. Kentucky, 211 U. S. 45), and requiring railroad companies to provide separate coaches or compartments for whites and blacks (Plessy v. Ferguson, 168 U. S. 537) are constitutional.

DISCHARGED CITY EMPLOVE DANGEROUSLY WOUNDS NEW YORK EXECUTIVE. New York, N. Y. — Mayor Wm. J. Gaynor was shot and dangerously wounded, at 9:45 a. m. as he stood on the deck of the steamer Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse at the steamship pier in Hoboken, N. J., about to start on a month's vacation in Europe. The shooting was done by a man who gave his name as Jules James Gallagher. Gallagher later was identified as a former city employee, recently discharged. Three shots were fired at the mayor. Two of the bullets missed and the third lodged in the fleshy portion of the left side of the neck. Blood gushed from the wound and the first hasty examinations led to the belief of serious and perhaps fatal consequences. The mayor retained consciousness and later examination by the physicians when the mayor was taken to the hospital gave a more hopeful outlook. Street Cleaning Commissioner William Edwards was slightly wounded by one of the bullets intended for Mayor Gaynor. Edwards, who was standing by the mayor, seized Gallager's arm. One of the bullets passed through the street commissioner's sleeve and grazed his left arm. The wound, however, was so slight that Edwards only discovered it after the excitement had subsided. Shooting of Mayor Is Dramatic. The shooting occurred under circumstances of the most dramatic character. Mayor Gaynor came aboard the steamer, accompanied by a number of prominent officials, who were about to bid him adieu on his trip abroad. Suddenly a stronger pushed through the throng from the rear. He approached the mayor, and without a word began to fire. Mayor Gaynor was seen to fall to the deck and the gushing wound told that he had been hit. Ship's Guard Fells Assailant. At the same moment a ship's guard sprang forward and dealt the assassin a blow on the head with a billy, felling him to the deck, where officers quickly seized him. He was turned over to the Hoboken police and taken at once to police headquarters. There he gave the name of Gallagher, and in response to inquiries as to why he had committed the deed he replied, sullenly: "He kept me from earning my bread and butter." Meanwhile Mayor Gaynor was driven to St. Mary's hospital, Hoboken, where he was still conscious and occasionally spoke to those about him. To the city officials who accompanied him to the hospital he indicated the gravity with which he viewed the shot by saying: "Say good-bye to the people." It was found that the bullet had entered the mayor's neck back of the ear, burrying itself in the region of the mastoid bone. The bullet was not located and no effort was made to probe His chief difficulty came from the gathering of blood in his throat. After the ministration of the physicians Mr. Gaynor expressed himself as feeling reasonably comfortable. The attempt to assassinate the mayor caused intense excitement throughout New York. The promilments in city affairs and to a growing extent in state and national affairs, attracted widespread attention. Everywhere the news of the attempt on his life was received with evidence of profound regret. President Montt of Chile was a near observer of the attempt to assassinate Mayor Gaynor. The Chilean executive and Mme. Montt were sailing on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse for Europe. As Mayor Gaynor first came aboard pleasant greetings were exchanged between him and the Chilean president. The mayor then went to his cabin and later joined his political assistants on deck. She Noticed Would-Be Slayer. While thus engaged, Mme. Montt first noticed the assassin approaching the mayor. She describes the man as looking rather old, with a grizzled mustache and gray hair. He stood beside the mayor as the shots were fired. Assassain Confesses. Gallagher made the following signed confession of his act to Robert W. Bell, acting chief of police of Hoboken: "I came over to Hoboken at 9:20 o'clock this morning. I went to the steamship pier and I went on board Russians Take Jap Schooner.

TWIN CITY STAR. the steamship Kather Wilhelm der Grosse. I met a clergyman on board of the steamer and I asked him to point out Mayor Gaynor to me. "He did so and shortly after I fired a shot at the mayor. I do not know if I fired more than one shot or not." "Known that Mayor Gaynor was going to Europe this morning to enjoy himself after depriving me of my bread and butter 'not porterhouse steak,' I was irritated to the point of committing the act." "The revolver you show me is the revolver that I done the shooting at the mayor with. I don't know how many shots were in the revolver when I used it. I have had this revolver a long time in my possession. I carried it when I was in the employ of the city." Gallagher seemed remarkably cool while making this statement, to which he affixed his signature. Word was sent to Meynor at her country place in St. James, Long Island of the serious injury to ten husband and she started in an automobile on the long ride to the hospital in Hoboken. Her chauffeur was instructed to proceed with all possible speed and directions were given the police all along the route not to interfere with the speeding vehicle. Mrs. Gaynor bore up well under the shock of the news of Mayor Gaynor's injury. The couple's young daughters remained at their home in St. James it being decided not to call them to their father's bedside at the hospital unless his condition should become critical. Long Public Career. William Jay Gaynor was born in Whiteside, Oneida county, New York in 1851. He was educated in Whitestown seminary and in Boston. He went to Brooklyn in 1873 and worked on New York and Brooklyn newspapers while studying law. He was admitted to the bar in 1875 and began practice in New York. He appeared in many important cases and was a writer on legal subjects. In 1890 he was judge advocate on the staff of General McLeer, Second brigade, New York National guard. He became nationally known by reason of his work in breaking up rings within the Democratic party and his action in seizing the conviction of John Y. Kane for conviction crimes. In 1893 he was a judge of the supreme court of New York dominated by Republicans and indepen-dent Democrats. He declined a Democratic nomination for governor and also for judge of the court of appeals in 1894-7 and for mayor of Brooklyn in 1896. In 1904 he again declined the Democratic nomination for governor. He was one of the first to speak against favoritism in freight rates. He was made a justice of the appellate division of the supreme court of New York. He was elected mayor of New York in 1909. His Reforms Made Him Enemies. Mayor Gaynor's administration, which began on Jan. 1 last, has been so drastic in its reforms and he has condemned so many persons and parties in such strong terms that he became the subject of many threats. In municipal official circles he made many bitter enemies and a number of powerful political organizations were severely attacked against him. Several months ago a visitor at the city hall was found trying to approach Mayor Gaynor and he was removed. Robert Adamson, secretary to the mayor, was quoted as saying he feared a crank might some time attempt to kill the mayor. Sought Much Needed Rest. Mayor Gaynor was sailing on the first vacation he had had since taking office on January 1. He has been at work from 14 to 16 hours a day and imperatively felt the need of a rest. In order to be out of reach of the affairs of his office it was his intention and to take a jaunt through the Norwegian to the coast of Norway. He expected to be absent about one month.

Another May Die as Result of a Fall From His Horse—Forty Thousand Take Part in Immense Pageant in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 10.—One tragic death, one accident which physicians say will prove fatal and a dozen minor mishaps due to the crowds, cast a shadow over the parade of what Masons say was the greatest number of Knights Templar ever formed in line in any city. There were over 40,000 knights in line while over half a million spectators sat in the huge reviewing stands occupying the sides of Michigan boulevard as far south as Twelfth street or stood along the line of march. The first note of tragedy in the day came when Hermann Grossmann of Chicago, on his way to join his commandery, was caught in the "death strip" between two cars on "Templar Way" and received injuries from which he died on the way to a hospital. In the grand stand, two blocks away, sat Mrs. Grossman, unidentified her three hours, while she scanned the marchers for her husband, not learning of his death until the parade had passed and she reached home. Knight Thrown from Horse A short time after, William Hacket, a knight from Fostoria, Ohio, was thrown from his horse in the parade, and dragged with his heel in the stirrup for a block before the animal could be stopped. At a hospital it was stated Mr. Hackett's injuries may prove fatal. Behind a platoon of mounted police, the procession was lead by California mounted commandery of San Francisco. Immediately following came 100 open carriages, each containing four members of the grand conclave, the highest body in Knights Templardom of this country. Acting Grand Master William B. Mellish occupied the first. Accompanying the grand conclave were the noted guests from the prory of England, the Earl of Euston and representatives from the great prory of Canada. Formal Sessions Held. Immediately after the parade, the first formal session of the conclave was held. The sessions will be held daily until the conclusions of the gathering and members of the grand conclave will have but little time for the entertainment, which will occupy the time of thousands of other visiting knights. Unless some unexpected candidate develops unusual strength in this conclave the choice for the next triennial gathering lies between Los Angeles, New Orleans and Denver. All of these cities make claims of assurance and activity in calling attention to the merits of the respective cities thus far has been the chief features of interest in the hotels, in which most of the commandery headquarters are located. Cincinnati, the home commandery of Grand Master Mellish, also is making a fight for the conclave. Atlanta, Ga., which has among the most imposing headquarters, is doing effective work with a view of landing the conclave of 1916.

PATAL SMASHUP OCCURS ON CROSSING NEAR CAPE MAY. Engine Strikes Machine Squarely in Center, Hurling Passengers Clear of Track. Cape May, N. J., Aug. 10.—Five persons were crushed to death when an express train on the Pennsylvania railroad dashed into an automobile at Mill Lane crossing on the West Jersey and Sea Shore railroad. The dead are Frederick W Feldner, and wife; and Fritz Mergenthaler and wife, and their chauffeur, M. C. Jones, all of Baltimore. Mergenthaler was the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Feldner. As they approached the tracks, the fast running express was hidden from view by a corafield, and it was impossible for the chauffeur to see the train until he was within a few feet of the tracks. The express struck the automobile squarely between the wheels and threw it and the occupants clear of the tracks. All five were instantly killed. The bodies were brought together and a physician hurriedly summoned, but a glance showed there was no need for medical aid. Coroner Reeves was summoned by telephone and took charge of the bodies and had them brought to the morgue in this city. Mr. Felder Prolific Attorney. Brimfield A. O. Alfred W. Peldner was a well known lawyer of this city and associated with Frank A. Furst of Baltimore. Mr. Mergenthaler, who also was a resident of this city, was the son of Ottmar Mergenthaler, the inventor of the Mergenthaler linotype. CENSUS OF THE DIAMOND. Standing of the Teams. Won. Lost. Pot.

An old Irish peasant was one Sunday sitting in front of his cottage puffing away furiously at his pipe. Match after match he lighted, pulling hard at the pipe the while, until at last the ground all round his feet was strewed with struck matches.

"Twenty! Why, it looks to me like nearer 12. Come, now, can't you increase that a little? There are surely more than 20 acres in that tract. Suppose you stretch that a little." "Say, feller," said the farmer, "this ain't no rubber plantation."-Harper's Monthly. What They Did With Them.

But still 'e's a kind o' gr'y'ound. Do you keep such dogs?" "We do not," said the dog man.

A COOL PROPOSITION And a Sure One. The Body Does Not Feel Heat Unpleasantly if it has Proper Food— Grape-Nuts People can live in a tempe,ature which feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the diet. The plan is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use a goodly allowance of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then follow with a saucer containing about four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of crisp toast with a meager amount of butter, and one cup of well-made Postum. By this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result is a very marked difference in the temperature of the body, and so this comfortable condition is added the certainty of ease and perfect digestion, for the food being partially predigested is quickly assimilated by the digestive machinery. Experience and experiment in food, and its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the user.

The Wearing of the Yellow By Dorothy Blackmore Copyright, 1920, by Associated Literary Press Just why Mrs. Thompson Cardinger decided to use yellow as her color scheme at the last of the series of bridge parties she was giving is not known. It may have been that it was her favorite shade; it may have been that it harmonized with her costume of the afternoon, or, it may have been simply because yellow spring flowers, jonquils, daisies and tulips were plentiful in the florists' shops in March. But the very fact that she had selected yellow instead of any other hue in the rainbow made all the difference in the world to her faithful cook, Norah. Norah was a daughter of the Emerald Isle and she never lost an opportunity to go to a St. Patrick's church whenever the anniversary of a good saint's birth rolled around. And in all the five years that she had been in the country she had never failed to dance the opening waltz with big Pat Deasy from her own County Cork. Norah's mistress had chosen the afternoon of St. Patrick's day for her bridge party, and when the last guest had gone and Mrs. Cardinger's duties as hostess were over, she stepped into the kitchen to give a word of praise to her cook for the extra effort she had made to have the pastries and coffee toothsome and dainty. "And, Norah, I want you to wear a bunch of those lovely jonquils to your ball tonight. They will add much to your appearance. Also, you may serve dinner at 6:30 instead of seven, so as to be in plenty of time," she said good naturedly. Norah sang over her cook stove, and when dinner was over she mounted the stairs to her room to dress in her finest frock. And in her hand she NORAH IS IT ALL OVER BETWEEN US? carried a bunch of the lovely yellow flowers her mistress had given her. She pinned them this way and that, and it was not without a thought as to how Pat would like them best that she finally arranged them in her belt, pinned there by a sharmrock Pat himself had given her the year before. On her way uptown to the ball Norah stopped to call for her chum, Katie Malone, who was maid-of-all work to a family in the next block. "An you must share my bouquet, Katie, my darlin'," she said to the girl. Their tongues wagged busily as they climbed the stairs to the elevated road in great haste lest they miss even one strain of the Diddler's music. Their hearts were beating quickly in anticipation of the evening's pleasure, for Katte, too, had a chance to Erin and the dancing with anxious eyes. It was not the custom in their set to be called for by their beaux—it was a waste of time, and the dancing and the escorting home again were the important things. Bright lights streamed from each of the great ballroom windows as the gris approached the building where the Irish ball was an annual social function. They entered the cloakroom to dispose of their outer garments just as the orchestra inside began an introductory number. Flushed and smiling, Norah and her chum made their appearance in the wide doorway of the ballroom to scan the assembled crowd for familiar faces. No sooner had they stepped onto the shining floor than they were pounced upon by half a dozen strange young men who demanded by what New Port of Constanza Completion of the Harbor Works Gives Rumania an important Black Sea Terminal. The completion of the new harbor works at Constanza gives Rumania a new and important terminal and port on the Black sea, especially adapted for the export of the principal products of the country, grain and petroleum. The equipment of the harbor demands especial attention, as being wholly modern and complete. The huge storehouses for grain are of the greatest interest, since they have a capacity of more than 150,000,000 pounds, (2,600,000 bushels), and with the exception of the old Rumaniian government warehouse at Galatas and Braila, they are claimed to be the largest on the continent. An examination of the extensive arrangements for receiving, weighing, storing and shipping the grain will give an idea of the tremendous quantity which is brought from the interior right they came to St. Patrick's ball wearing the colors of the Orangeman? And, without further ceremony, the beloved bouquets were torn from the belts of the two girls and trampled under foot by the young Irishmen. Norah had been innocent of the breech of etiquette she was making in wearing the flowers and her chum had been as guiltless of error. Now, as they retired to the dressing room, red faced and not knowing whether to be angry or merry, they looked at each other and broke into laughter. "Faith, and I never thought of it at all, at all, Katie," said Norah, adjusting her disarranged belt. "I'm so was so generous with my bouquet." "It's nothing at all," retorted Katie, "but I saw Pat Desay and Michael O'Flanagan standing on the other side of the room takin' in the whole thing. It's mad they are, or I'm not Katie Malone this night." Now, Pat Deasy, though well favored in the eyes of Norah, was not her only admirer, and she had seen the time when his blue eyes flashed at the presence of another young man in her spotless kitchen. “Perhaps,” the thought now, “he thinks I am after getting the flowers from Tom.” At least, whether the two swains took the wearing of the yellow flowers as a personal insult or whether they had other reasons for ignoring their hitherto adored ones, Norah and Katie heard the opening strains of “Come Back to Erin” wafted from the orchestra without noticing the approach of their usual partners. Never long alone at a ball, Norah was soon whirling about the room in the another admirer. And from the way in which her soft Irish ripple rippled in response to bits of witty blarney her partner whispered in her ear she was conscious of no other man in the room. She was possessed of the inherent Irish quality of being all things to all people for the time being. The ball waxed merry and waltzes and jigs and two steps and barn dances were called off one after another, but Pat Deaty never once sought Norah as his partner; and she did not know that his eyes followed her through every turn of the dance. If, as he believed, she had deliberately worn flowers—and yellow flowers at that—sent her by his hated rival—she must indeed have rongotten all that he believed had been between them. It was late in the evening that an Irish reel was proposed, and the orchestra struck up the merry music to which the feet of no true son of the verdant land can remain quiet. Norah, a new-found admirer in her wake, was taking her place. Her hair had become tumbled, her cheeks were as rosy as apples and her black-lashed blue eyes sparkled like diamonds. If her heart was heavy she did not let it dangle on her sleeve so that all who passed might see it. In the intricacies of the reel, Norah by counting ahead, could see that before many moments she must clap hands with Pat Deasy, and her heart thumped excitedly at the prospect. Would he recognize her? Would he press her fingers—never so slightly. It was her turn and she put her hand in the great one Pat extended. Yes; he held it closely, more closely than any other partner would dare to hold it. Quick as a flash, Norah detached the green shamrock pin from her belt and, when next she met Pat in the dance, slipped it into his palm. Across the petals was written in gilt letters, "Come Back to Erin." When the reel was over and the dancers stood about the refreshment room, the cool corners, Pat sourced Norah, the message of the pin having been too much for him to resist. And, perhaps, after all, he had been mistaken. "Norah, it is all over us?" he asked, his color rising to the roots of his well-brushed black hair. "An why should it be?" asked the girl,声cually. "Sure, you wore the yellow flowers to the ball and who but that hateful Tom Horton could have given them to you—to拼 me!" he asked. "It's a silly Mick you are, Pat," she retorted, making room for him beside her on the beach. "It was my lady who gave them to me off her own table to wear to the ball to charm you with. Oh, Pat!" And, on the was home, Pat and Norah decided to visit the priest before another St. Patrick's ball should take place. But so busy were they in their own affairs that they did not see Katie and her beau deciding the same thing in the other end of the elevated coach. of the country.

PHILADELPHIA ATH JACK PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS' SHORTSTOP BALL FRANK PFEFFER. Cub pitcher, probably has the most thankless job that a ball player could have. Every afternoon Frank gets on the slab. But no thousands cheer him and the ball game does not hinge upon whether the batter gets a single or is fanned. For it is the time of the batting practice. It's a thankless job, when you come to think of it—this pitching to batters during the practise. For 15 minutes you stand out there pitching the best you have. One after another your pals walk up to the plate, take a swing at the ball, and the next man comes up. No interest, no excitement. Just the monotony of serving balls to brighten the mood of the repitches. Pfeffer, although he joined the teams in the spring, has not started a game this year. He has finished several, but only after they had been hopelessly lost. The Cub regulars have an idea that if Pifffer has ever the opportunity that he could start and win his own game. That's the opinion of the fellows who bat against him in the practice every day. And, maybe, some time Frank will have that opportunity. He's waiting for it. Meanwhile, if there is any man who works without pay it is the pitcher who does nothing but pitch in the preliminary battles practice. It's work for him without any of the exertion, without any of the applause that is given to the pitcher out there fighting to win a game for his team. Pfeffer was a University of Illinois man once, but signed with the Cubs, and then was traded to Boston, only to be taken back later. He is the style of man and baseball player that Chance admires. While you are talking about the star shortstops of the American league don't forget Jack Barry of the athletics. In Philadelphia they say he is the best in either league. In Boston this is disputed. They say Wagner of the Speed Boys is the real thing. Detroit thinks Owain Bush has it on either of them. But this fellow Barry goes along taking care of the hard ones, delivering hits when they are wanted and playing an all round sensational game. It's a great question, who's the best shortstop this year, but at any rate Barry will have to be figured in the running. Ever hear of a baseball game being forfeited twice in the same day and on each occasion to a different team? It sounds like a pipe dream from the Winter Fireside league, but it actually happened last Fourth of July in Mobile, Ala., in the Southern league. Charlie Frank's New Orleans Pelicans were scheduled to play two games with Mobile on Independence day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. It is a league rule that the two games on all holidays shall be played this way, and all the receipts are pooled and divided equally among the clubs. The Mobile management wanted to play a doubleheader in the afternoon, and thought that Manager Frank would agree to it, as it would mean more money. But they failed to get permission to do this from the league directors. It so happened that Frank needed games in the "won" column at that time more than he did a few extra simoleons. So he told the Mobile management that he was going to play a morning and an afternoon game. But they laughed at him. At ten q'clock Frank and his Pelican flock rode out to the ball field with Umpire Billy Carpenter in tow. Before they arrived there the Mobile club got wind of it and had the park locked. A deserted and locked park greeted the Pelicans on their arrival, but Frank ordered everyone to scale the 12-foot fence. How the Pelicans, and especially chubby Charlie Frank, got over the fence is a question, but they flew over all right. Umpire Carpenter refused to ride pate in so unkindly an affair. So, Peter opened one of the gates and let him in. Otto Hans pitched three balls over the plate, and Carpenter forfeited the game to New Orleans. The team then went back to the hotel. The Mobile management had advertised a double-header and the park was crowded to the overflow in the afternoon. New Orleans won the first game and then started to leave the field. The Mobile club officials had gotten next to the umpire and --- persuaded him to call the second game. Frank refused to play and Carpenter then, for the second time that day, forfeited the same game, only this time he gave it to Mobile. Why he did it no one knows, but a glimpse of the mad, howling mob in the grand stand and bleachers probably told him that discretion was the better part of valor. Then the crowd swarmed down on the field mad as a hornet, while Frank and his team folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away to the hotel and incidentally caught the first train out of town. Mention the New Orleans team to a Mobile fan and he will get purple with rage. But -Frank's trick was successful, for the game which was twice forfeited was awarded to New Orleans by the league. Anderson, outfielder of the Deep Haven (Minn.) team, promises to eclipse in historic fame Casey of Mudville. In a game with the Prince Reality team of Minneapolis on Excelsior diamond some time ago Anderson caught a fly, shutting off three runners. After a long run Anderson fell into the lake, turned on his back, and caught the fly, swam to shore, and Deep Haven won. This was in the eighth, and the score 9 to 4 in favor of Deep Haven. Theump says please be careful to ball because he lives in Deep Haven and knows the fielder cannot dive. knows the fielder cannot dive. Manager McGraw of the Giants has closed a deal for the purchase of Pitcher Teserau of the Shreveport team of the Texas league. Teserau is a big right hand, six feet three inches, and weighs 240. It is not known whether the Shreveport club charged for him by the pound, but if the man makes good he will cost the New York club $3,000. McGraw will pay one-third of that anyhow, just to give Teserau a trial. Owner Kinsella of the Springfield (III.) team has offered McGraw the first chance to bid for an insuffer named McLean. Westerners to invade Pittsburgh. Again the story that western base ball men are negotiating for Luna park, a 13-acre site in the heart of the residence district of Pittsburgh, has gained currency. J. A. Sharp, agent for the property, admits that the grounds have been surveyed at the expense of several westerners, who are negotiating for them, and says he "understands that the property is wanted for baseball purposes." The price of the property is $250,000. Cubs-Giant Games Weird. There is something weird about the games played by the Cubs and Giants. Let McGraw's team go down the line walloping an cuffing the other outfits, but they are sure to come to grief in Chicago. But let them be trampled on by a tailender like Boston and they rush into the Windy City as raging lions and claw the Cubs right and left. They did it last season and have been doing it again this year. George Huff, athletic director of the University of Illinois and the chief scout of the Cubs during the scouting season, is of the firm conviction that the conference colleges ought to allow college men to play baseball during the summer months. There is nothing wrong about sanctioning a young fellow making an honest living to help him through school. Stricklett Wants Pardon. Elmer Stricklett, the Inventor of the spit ball, has been given his release at his own request by the Eureka (Cal.) club. He has asked to be reinstated by the national commission and he will wait for the verdict while resting at his ranch near San Jose. Umpire Tim Hurst is still calling them "as he sees them" in the Eastern league. The veteran Timothy has as a side partner Stafford, who was a member of the American league staff two years ago.

I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely healed over. I had no pain or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. "My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment in two layers. We have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved successful. Mrs. M. E. Fallin, Spere Ferry, Vau.

And they know why. The white man wants your vote. Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously present it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have disfranchised negroes in certain parts for this reason,—that his vote was his defense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if they keep promises after election. The days of reconstruction are past. The negro is in his "Era of Political Freedom." Vote for your personal interest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean "a small sum of money," but for the men who stand for the principles of right. Assert your individuality, regardless of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Republicans, without fair compensation, and has not given his support to Democrats, who have individually, helped his race. "Right of suffrage" is your only constitutional right. Be not bound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the policies of Lincoln and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM?

"There is some logic and more sentiment in the extended criticism of the selection by the Governor of Senator Ed. Smith to head the Republican state central committee. That he has been the representative of the corporations and interests in the Minnesota legislature for several years is an accepted fact, and he makes no virtue of any denial. If the coming campaign were a Sunday school or Christian Endeavor affair, Ed. would be manifestly out of place as the executive manager. But in a battle royal between the dominant parties, especially if John Lind gets into the race, the Republican contest must be managed by brains, political sagacity, large experience with men and measures, and adequate financial rating. Here the Minnesota senator admirably fits into the position assigned him. He will fight the battle for all there is in him, and he will fight it for every candidate on the ticket."—The Marshall News.

London, Aug. 6.—Explanations that the United States has no notion of establishing an actual protectorate over Liberia which have just been received, are not proving very convincing to European officialdom. "The new scheme," says the London Post, "must inevitably result in the American nation exercising a very large measure of control over Liberian affairs. Whether such control can be described as amounting to a protectorate is a matter of opinion."

All Rights Reserved. Gen. Leonard Wood has just resumed or less well-meaning persons turned from the United States to take up jobs who were misled by these schemers and adventurers; but it is astounding of the United States army, the highest military position which the service affords, to realize, not merely what he acquires with the facts plished, but how he succeeded in gain Nearly 12 years ago, when Leonard Wood was acting as governor of Scrantago, I wrote in the Outlook about what he had already achieved, and what he could be trusted to achieve. During the intervening 12 years he has played a very conspicuous part among the men who have rendered signal service to the country by the way in which they have enabled it to grapple with the duties and responsibilities incurred by the Spanish war. What has been accomplished in the Philippines, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in Panama, and in San Domingo during these 12 years represents a sum of achievement of which this nation has a right to be extremely proud. In each locality the problem has been different. in each locality it has been solved with signal success. Of course there have been mistakes and shortcomings, but on the whole it would be difficult to find anywhere a finer record of successful accomplishment. This record is primarily due to the admirable quality of the men put at the head of affairs in the different places. Messrs. Taft, Luke Wright, Smith and Forbes, Messrs. Hunt, Winthrop, Post and Colton, Governor Magoon, Colonel Goeth als—to these and their colleagues and subordinates the country owes a heavy debt of obligation. Most of those I have mentioned are civilians. Colopel Goethals, under whom the gigantic work of the Panama canal is being accomplished, with literally astounding rapidity and success, is a representative of the army. The share of the army in the honor roll is very large. The importance of work like that of General Bell in the Philippines, of General Barry in Cuba, can hardly be overestimated; but, as a whole, of all the work of the army officers, the greatest in amount, and the greatest in variety of achievement, must be credited to General Wood. And, moreover, he has at times combined with singular success the functions of civil administrator and military commandant. The part played by the United States in Cuba has been one of the most honorable ever played by any nation in dealing with a weaker power, one of the most satisfactory in all respects; and to General Wood more than to any other one-man is due the credit of starting this work and conducting it to a successful conclusion during the earliest and most difficult years. Like almost all of the men mentioned, as well as their colleagues, General Wood of course incurred the violent hatred of many dishonest schemers and unscrupulous adventurers, and of a few Other Ways of Greeting Friends That Are Much Preferable, According to Writer. Although a few have suffered the unpleasant experience of the man in the case recently reported, the bones of whose hands were forced out of place by the vise-like grasp of a too vigorous and unduly demonstrative friend, most people will be inspired by their personal recollections to sympathize with this victim of a misdirected order. Everyone knows people who seek to express the sincerity and earnestness of their good-will by squeezing the hand they take as though they were trying to break every one of the score or so of bones which the human hand comprises, and every one on such occasions must have wished that some other form of salutation than the one most in vogue had been devised and were generally practiced. Shaking hands is a relic of barbarian anyhow. It became the custom in the days when every one carried a dagger in his belt and when one friend meeting another thought it necessary to attest the peacefulness of his intentions by extending an open palm. Then the other man could do no less than make a similarly reassuring demonstration and the grasp of these two extended hands naturally followed. Subsequently, by a logical process of evolution the handshake grew to be the conventional form of greeting and the refusal of a proffered hand was regarded as one of those whose dishonor can only be wiped out with blood. The custom is too firmly and widely established for its abandonment to be conceivable, and There is a bird known as the naked-throated bell bird, that has such a powerful voice that it can be heard three miles away. It is loud and piercing and has been likened to the sound produced by a blacksmith striking an avil. Gastronomic Prize Medalist.

Spaniards and Cubans, Christian Filipinos and Moros, Catholic ecclesiastics and Protestant missionaries—in each case the great majority of those whose opinion was best. General Wood as their special champion and ablest friend, as the man who more than any others understood and sympathized with their peculiar needs and was anxious and able to render them the help they most needed. His administration was as signally successful in the Moro country as in Cuba. In each case alike it brought in its train peace, an increase in material prosperity, and a rigid adherence to honesty as the only policy tolerated among officials. His opportunity for military service has not been great, either in the Philippines or while he was the governor of Cuba. Still, on several occasions he was obliged to carry on operations against hostile tribes of Moros, and in each case he did his work with skill, energy, and effect. ncy: and, once it was done, he showed as much humanity in dealing with the vanquished as he had shown capacity to vanquish them. In our country there are kinds of success which receive an altogether proportionate financial reward; but in no other country is the financial reward so small for the kind of service done by Leonard Wood and by the other men whose names I have given above. General Wood is an army officer with but an army officer's pay, and we accept it as a matter of course that he should have received practically no pecuniary reward for those services which he rendered in positions not such as an army officer usually occupies. There is not another big country in the world where he would not have received a substantial reward such as here no one even thinks of his receiving. Yet, after all, the reward for which he most cares is the opportunity to render service, and this opportunity has been given him once and again. He now stands as chief-of-staff of the American army, the army in which he was serving in a subordinate position as surgeon 13 years ago. His rise has been astonishing, and it has been due purely to his own striking qualification and striking achievements. Again and again he has rendered great service to the American people: and he will continue to render such service in the position he now holds. yet there are various things about it which render it unsatisfactory. Rather surprisingly it has thus far escaped the denunciations of the doctors, who have spared no little else, as a possible occasion for the communication of injurious microbes, but one does not have to be a President of the United States, nor even a popular politician engaged in a canvass for votes, not sometimes to have wished that the handshaking habit had never been contracted. There are so many ways of shaking hands that are objectionable and there are so many different kinds of hands whose touch communicates a sensation not exactly pleasant. Hands that are too hot or too cold, too moist or too dry, or whose inertness communicates an uncompetitive sense of indifference on the part of their possessors. Every one is familiar with the handshake in which all the shaking has to be done by the party of the first part, in which the hand one grasps lies limp and lifeless in one's own, to be taken or left, to be squeezed or let drop, as one pleases, while the attitude of the owner suggests an absolute lack of interest in the proceedings. Behold, that also is vanity and vexation of spirit. So is the question which recurrently arises, and which it may be suspected is the source of much secret embarrassment, the question of to shake or not to shake. Etiquette has its value for this, but no other etiquette can formulate will cover every case that may arise, and to determine the right thing may not always be easy. It will be seen that the Chinese plan has its advantages. The Chinese man you meet does not shake your hand. He bows and shakes his own. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Atlantic City, Aug. 6—Severe criticisms of the country in general and of the Republican and Democratic parties made here today at the convention of the National Independent Political League. The organization consists of Negroes and has branches in 23 state, 20 of which were represented at the convention. In all there were 10 delegates. The most bitter denunciation was that of the Brownsville affair, which they lay at the door of Theodore Roosevelt. The Republicans, they say, have been absolutely unjust to the Negro. His only hope is an independent political movement. In the address to the country which was issued by the convention there is called to attention "the fact that today no civilized country on earth can parallel the United States in the wholesale murder of innocent men, in the social persecution of the weak, in religious discrimination and proscription, and in the helplessness and inefficiency of the judiciary." Texas has outrun Kishlneff; Jim Crow cars are indefensible and recent decisions of the supreme court are repugnant to the principles of justice and democracy, so the address says. The closing paragraph, which is the platform of the convention, follows: The Platform. It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti-Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. The convention began on August 4 and ended today. Among the delegates were the Rev. Alexander Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal church of New York, president; Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop H. M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel church of Atlanta, Ga.; the Rev. J. Waldron, Baptist, of Washington, D. C.; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio; Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich. editor of the Informer; N. B. Marshall counsel for the Brownville soldiers; S. L. Corrothers, and Judge M. W. Gibbs of Little Rock. Govs. Harmon and Deneen were commended on lynching. Bisho Walers was elected president, Rev. Walron organizer, Rev. Corrothers financial secretary, Judge Gibbs treasurer, W. C. Payne assistant organizer, J. L. Neill recording secretary, W. M. Trotter correspoding secretary, Rev. G. J. Gordon chaplain, Rev. J. F. Moreland sergeant-at-arms, and Rev. B. Gunner, Dr. J. L. Johnson, W. T. Ferguson, Rev. J. H. Wiley, W. D. Johnson, W. S. Cook vice-presidents BIG NEGRO NOT A FACTOR. The big Negro, that is, one who has an inflated conception of his or her importance in society, is absolutely no benefit to enterprises. If *e* patronizes a colored institution at all it is only to the extent of the credit allowed him; then he goes back to the white shops with his tale of woe. The average big Negro will not even support a colored newspaper, but will get all the white newspapers he can on credit. The churches, too, suffer from these vultures who prey upon the good graces of the Christian element and yield no returns whatever. Down with this class of cattle, who are proving an impediment in the path of progress. We indorse the above from personal knowledge with three big Negroes who hold positions, where they receive big salaries. One of these is in the U. S. government service, one in the city and the other in the county. They even go so far as to lie about paying a small account and becomes angry if they have to pay—The Illiios Idea. This blow should reach the solar plexus of some of our local egotists. They are only human parasites, and offer no encouragement to another enterprise, and always predict its failure. They forget their originality, and their present positions have been reached so quickly that they are unaware of the conditions which confront others. And we are to recognize Single Copy Buyers as our supporters. Such detrusionists are everywhere. They are our Little Negroes.—Ed. It is really interesting as well as amusing to see how careful some of our prospective patrons are with their investments, and how they must have time to think it over and consult with their wife or husband as the case may be, when we approach and ask them to invest 25 cents for three months' subscription to this paper, a race enterprise, which they should be glad to help, if they had the right kind of desire to help their race on the upward tread to progress and success. But that same careful investor will spend several times that amount in a far less profitable way, and don't call a family conference either. —The Weekly Visitor.
