The Pennant Chasers.

The base ball races still continue hot and
furious. The changes since IKE BEES last
review have been both slight and few, the
most important being that in our own, the
Western association.
Omaha has again entrenched herself in
first place, with the Apostles close at her
heels, however. The two straight games
over Sioux City on the 4th gave the White
Sox the coveted vantage, st. Paul dropping
one game to Minneapolis on the same day.
1t must be remembered, though, that the loss
of a single game just now will even up mat
ters, and it behooves the local men TO keep
up the remarkable work which they have
been doing. They will soon be on the ene-
mies' grounds. for their second swing around
tho circle, while the Saints during this inter
val will be sliding on their own cellar door,
so a change in the positions OF the leaders
n need surprise no one at any time.
In the National league the positions OF the
several contestants are relatively the same.

intelligent Bean Eaters. Next Tuesday,
however, they will be back under the shadow
of Bunker Hill, then stand from under Ihey
are certain to make up for all their recent
bad luck. Cleveland, with her lusty gang OF
youngsters, is still the base ball marvel OF
the age. She occupies second place, and mad
Boston few more games to play in the
west she would have undoubtedly been COM
PEELED to surrender first place to the Forest
City. New York is playing good and strong,
and is in third place. Philadelphia Is tioun-
dering, and will drop below Chicago in an-
other ten days. Pittsburg, Indianapolis and
| Washington are well in the dust OF the
| leaders.
In the American association the st. Louis
| Browns refuse TO be ousted from their
| position in the van of the procession.
Brooklyn plays with varying success, and
cannot hope to pull up with Van der Abe on
! this trip. The Athletics, too, are being af.

drop it, Baltimore and Cincinnati are fight
| ing tooth and toe nail for fourth place, with

Cowboys are sixth, Columbus seventh. and

Many years ago, when Detroit was much
less of a city than it is at present, there came
on a very severe and sudden "coid snap"
early in the winter. The roads leading out
of the city were almost impossible from re-
cent heavy rains, and wood, then the only
fuel burned In the city, rose suddenly and
enormously in price.
Mr. II. II. Emmons, a prominent lawyer,
one evening, as he was retiring TO his room
for the night, said to his wife that something
must be done for the poor, or many OF them
would actually freeze to death. Fortunately
he was a man who knew how to act, as well
as to feel
The next morning he breakfasted before
daylight and started out, NOT to seek advice,
but to do what was needed
The first man he met he hailed thus: Are
you around notifyingT
Notifying whatp
"Why, the meeting at the United States
court room, TO take measures to distribute
wood to the poor. 1t is to be held at O'Clock.
Something must be done at once, or the
people will be freezing"
Il hadn't heard anything about it,
answered the citizen, "but | will gladly do
what can"
Every good. Suppose you notify those or
your street Immediately, and send everybody
along to the court houseP
He set the next man, and the next, at the
same business, till the city was reused At
o'clock the court room was filled to over
flowing. Thousands of dollars were sub
scribed on the spot; the poor were relieved at
once. Within an hour and a half from the
time when the first man was asked if he was
around notifying, proclamation had been
made that the destitute could obtain fuel at
certain woodward.
The amount Of money raised proved to be
twice what was needed, and the remainder
was invested for similar use in the future
One of the pleasantest features of the affair
was the fact that nobody, or almost nobody,
knew how the meeting came to be called
"a spontaneous gathering" all the news
papers called it, and it was commented upon
far and near.
If you want thing done, set about doing
it-Youth's Companion.

about the time Of Jay Gouid's first operations

The history OF her fortune, here told i'm
perfectly, but for the hrst time, is blended
with her husbands colossal accommodations
and yet is separate. Mrs. Gould lent her
$4,000 to her husband, and he used it in the
beginning OF his career Of prosperity. FoI

Prevention Of All Infectious Diseases.
The science and practice OF medicine and
surgery are undergoing revolution Of such
magnitude and Importance that its limits can
hardly be conceived Looking into the
future, in the light of recent discoveries, il
does not seem iulposibae that a time may
come when tive oaue of every infectious dis
ease will be known; when all such diseases
will be preventabts or easily durable; when
protection can be afforded against ali dis
eases, such as scarlet fever, measles, yellow
fever, whooping cough, etc, in which one
attack secures immunity from subsequent
contagion; when, in short, no constitutional
disease will be incurabls, and such seourgee
as epidemios will be unknown. These in
deed, may be but part of what will follow
discoveries In bacGerology. The higher the
plane of actual knowledge, the more extended
is the horizon. What has been accomplished
within the past ten years, as regards knoWl.
edge Of the causes, prevention and treatment
of disease, far tranOends what would have
been regarded, quarter of a century ago,
as the widest and most impossible specu-
lation.-Dr. Austin Flint in tie Forum.
