WE DON'T GET WARD.
The Famous slIortstop Goes to Brooklyn
We May Get 0'Dsy.

.erEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
NEW oRK, Jan, 24.-It is now definitely set
tied that John NJ. Ward will play IN Brook
lyn next season. Many people are con-
WINGED that this arrangement has been made
for several weeks with the full consent of
Ward. The latter, it is stated, will be manager
aud captain of the team. President O'Neill, of
the Pittsburg, is. therefore left out in the cold
as far as Ward is concerned, but the former is
quite confident OF securing brilliant short
stop, although it is not known who the PLAYER
is. There is a rur;or current here to the effect
that Hank O'Day. the pitcher, will! go to Pitts
burg. He is not wanted here.
A. g. Mills has written a long letter declining
the Craftsmanship OF the National Board. This
is not disappointing to the magnates, as Mr..
Mills has for some time past stated that he had
permanently severed himself from baseball
officially. Mr.. Mills gives good reasons for de-
Ginning the honor, emphasizing the fact that he
has too much business of another kind to at
tend to. President Young will be appointed
chairman instead of Mr.. Mills.
There is considerable talk going on in base
bah circles here concerning the make up of the
respective teams. Everybody is on the jump
for ''starS," and the weakest clubs are likely to
get left; in fact, they are getting left.

THE "BlG HEAD" IN SOCIETY,".
How Personal Conccit Distorts tho
Charms OF Nature.

How Personal Conccit Distorts tho
Charins of Nature.
The big head is no longer monopo-
li2cd by theatrical stars; it has broken
out, says the New York World, if one
may say SO, iii polite society, and tho
least of us may be afflicted by cranial
enlargement 1t did not seem possible
that the big head could be contagious,
but in these days of imitation it has
been proved otherwise, and more than
one of your acquaintanccs will be found
suffering from it, The society woman
who has achieved some local success is
the first to fad her acquaintances OBJ
serving this capital change: they say
nothing to her, of course, but they lool,
unutterablc things when she bctravs
herself and her new sclf-i,nportancc.
Very youthful persons. whom the world
in which they move has kindly noticed,
will carry round on their shoulders n
head out of all proportions with their
moral size; bat they go uncha!lengcd, be-
cause big head is now SO prevalent that
rs monstrosity it would prove drug
Ill the dime museum line. To believe
in ones self, to determine to win the
race. really to be somebody, is all
praiscworthy in the extreme, but tho
instant these noble endcavors fly to the
head all is lost. The head swells, and
when that misfortune occurs all tho
symmetry of individuality vanishcs,
and disagrceable personal conccit
comes to distort the sweetest natural
charms. Modcsty is rare quality in
the present day. There seems to be no
room for its cultivation. Apparently,
nobody has any use for modesty, end
only blatant self-sufficiency. with the
inevitable result. big head, now has the
floor.
