Whatever Is, Is Best.

know, as my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight
That under each rank wrong, somewhere
There lies the root of right.
That each sorrow has it purpose,
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed;
But as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is, is best.

AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is sometime. somewhere punished.
Tho the hour be long delayed.
know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer;
But whatever is, is best.
know that there are no errors
In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know when my soul speeds onward
In the grand, eternal quest.

Whatever is, is BEST

With the addition of another catcher the St. Louis Browns will next year be con- posed of the men who won the pennant this year.
 The Bridgeports will probably reserve Cooney, Conley, Beecher, Flanagan, Morri- son, Hughes and Mccormick for next sea- son.
 Barnie of thu Baltimores has engaged and released more men this season than any oth- CT manager in either the league or American association.
 Professor Charles M Schaefer, of Shelby vile, Ind, a scientist, is so confident that a ball pitcher cannot curve ball that he has offered to stand as target behind plank barrier set on line between him and the pitcher. His offer has been accepted, and & trial will be made on the Cincinnati ball grounds shortly. Tony Mullane and Will White will cure hira of his skepticism.
 Nineteen hundred dollars is said to be the lowest salary paid on the St. Louis Browns tea1n Comiskey's salary is believed to be $3, 900. This would of course make him the highest salaried first baseman in the pro- fession.
 The Chicago club contains fewer "record players than any other club in the country, and this is one important element of their wonderful success. All play for the success of the nine. In consequence they take des- perate chances that nine out of ten players would hesitate about attempting for fear of losing their individual record.

Those Clever Greeks

If you turn & book upside down and look at the letters every will seem smaller at the bottom than at the top, although, when the book is properly held, both halves appear the same size to the eye. The upper part of the type that prints the letter is made smaller to correct the fault of the eye, which always slightly e1aggerates the former When the letter is turned over this same trick of the sight makes the difference seem greater than it really is and, of course, were it of the same width all the way, it would still look uneven. In greater matters the false report of the eye is greater. If a tapering monu- ment, like that of Bunker Hill or like the obelisk in Central Park, were made with per fectly straight sides it would look to us-for, you see we really cannot trust our own eyes as if it were hollowed in little, or, as we should say in more significant language, It's sides would appear concave. Those clever Greeks, who did so many marvellous things in art, thought all these things out, and made their architecture upon principles so subtle and so comprehensive that we have never been able to improve on them since. They found that their beautiful Dor1c col umns, if made with straight sides, had the eoncave effect of which I have spoken; and so, with the most delicate art in the world, they made the pillar swell little in the mid dle and then it appeared exactly right This swelling of the column at the middle was called entasis. Of course, it had to be cal culated with the greatest nicety, and was ac=. tually SO very slight that it can only be de- teeted by delicate measurements; but it add ed greatly to the beauty of the columns and their effectiveness. Then the lines which were to look horizontal had to receive atten tion. If you look at long, perfectly level line, as the edge of roof, for instance, it has the appearance of ssgging toward the middle. The Greek architect corrected this fault by making his lines rise little. The front of the Parthenon, at Athens, is 101 feet 3115 inches long, and in this the rise from the horizontal is about 211s inches. In other words, there is curvature upward that makes it little more than 2 inches higher in the center than at the ends, and the eff feet of this swelling upward is to make the lines appear perfectly level. Indeed, this same Parthenon-the most beautiful build
 ing in the world-when delicately and care fully measured was found to be everywhere made little incorrect, so that it may appear right, which is certainly like what may be called an architectural paradox. The grace ful columns, which seem to stand so straight, are made to lean inward a little, since if they were perfectly true and plumb they would have the effect of leaning outward more than the others, and everywhere the corners are made to look square by being, in truth, a little broader angled, and the lines are curved in order that they shall appear straight to the eye.

Have The First of Their Series of Be-
 bates.
 TOLEDO, Oct. s.-When the doors of Wheeler's opera house were opened at 7:30 this evening perfect rush was made for ad- mission and in less than ten minutes every available space was occupied. The Hoadley Foraker debate, the cause of the rush, has been the all-absorbing theme of conversation here and delegations from all directions, many of them coming from long distances, were present to hear the discussion, but only a small proportion of them were able to gain entrance to the hall. Hon. John H. Doyle was chairman of the meeting on the part of the Republicans and Hon. Frank Hurd for the Democrats. Goy Hoadley opened the debate. Governor Hoadley dwelt largely on the i quor question, taking strong grounds against prohibition and all forms of sumptuary leg islation and in favor of personal liberties. He believed that well regulated license law would solve the temperance question. He said: s'When the Republicans say they want a court to decide on the question of temper ance do they mean they want court to reverse the decision made by the present Supreme court against the Scott law and to re-establish the decision that Judge Doyle and Judge Upson
  mulgated? Do they mean to revise the pres ent law if they carry the State, uo re-enact the Scott law, not by legislative fiat, but by judicial fiat and compel the saloon keepers of Ohio to pay up the back Scott law license fees for the last year. If not what is meant by having q court decide on the subject of temperance as MT. Sherman said they intended to do. My friends, I am for license. There are but two methods of disposing of the temperance question. One is prohibitions; the other is license. For Scott law is only bastard license, a license with protection to the dealer, an arbitrary tax which contains an implied i- cense without corresponding compensation to the party taxed.
 Jndge Foraker said: Eff there had not been anything else transpiring in the State of Ohio we might rest assured that we are con- fronted by the same old unconstitu- t;ona1 Democratic party that we have had with us for all these twenty five years. Governor Hoadley has put interroga tions to me as though l had indi- vidual opinions aside from those l must have as the representative of the Republican party. He replied "to the Governors questions in the order in which they were propounded and then drifted on to the methods of the last legislature, the sena- torial action, etc.

 DETROIT, Oct. 6.-The congregation of the Catholic Church of St. Joachim in this city met last evening and decided to resist the or der of Bishop Borgess. directing Father La Porte to go to lower Canada. The congrega- ton are very much attached to Father La Porte and object to the new pastor appointed by the Bishop on the ground that he is a Belgian and not a French Canadian. The opposition is headed by Father LaPorte him. self and the people tn reaten to take the case into the courts if the bishop does not give the church a French Canadian pastor. If the courts can give no remedy it will be taken to Rome. The French people claim that the bishop is pursuing the policy of gradually replacing all French priests in this diocese with priests of other nationalities.
