With the withdrawal OF " jim" " Mutrie
from the management of the Giants new
man steps in. Patrick L. Powers is re-
garded all over the country as skilled
and expert handler of ball players.
Mr.. Powers hasn't an enemy among
ball players, though he is a strict dis
ciplinarian. His habits are excellent, and
he will be given the entire control of the
New York team both at home and abroad.
In appearance Manager Powers is short
and thickset, with a smooth, round face
and pair OF sharp gray eyes.
OF course Buck" Ewing will be cap
tain of the team--that is IL his arm will
allow him to play ball. He will be per-
manently placed upon first base, so that he
may take part in every game.
Michael j. Kelly, of Boston, better
known as "King Kel," may be Boyle's
partner in the possession Of gloves, mask
and chest protector.
. Denny Lyons will take BHssett's place
at third base. Here is a man who is
known to the profession as terrific bats
man and grand fielder, but addicted to
bad habits at times.
Glasscock's shoes will be filled by
"Shorty" Fuller, player OF the Herman
Long, Cooney and Allen stripe. Fuller is
one of the new stars in baseball.
The outfielders are practically the same
as last year. There's old reliable "Jim
O'Rourke and muscular George Gore, with
mute Mr. Tiernan for the third man.
O'Rourke is sure Of place on the team
because of his batting, and, of course,
Tiernan is, too. But Gore must improve his
work over that of last year or he may be
shelyed.

END OF THE LOUISIANA LOITEK +.
John A. Morris the Head OF the Gnm-
bling Octopus Gives Up the Fight.

John A. Morris the Head OF the Gnm-
bling Octopus Gives Up the Fight.
The great lottery fight in Louisiana is
over. John A. Morris has addressed a
letter to the people of Louisiana in which
he says that under no circumstances will
he and his associates accept the charter
should the amendment be passed by ever
so large vote in the coming April cleo
tion.
The origin of the Louisiana Lottery may
be traced back to the allied gambling
interests of the country - the lottery,
the race track and the gambling house.
The headquarters of these interests then,
as now, was New York city.
Among the prominent men in the first
lottery dealings of the country were John
A. Morris, "Eph" Simmons, Benjamin
Wood and John Morrissey. On October
Ia, 1868, diversity of lottery interests
were combined in New York under the
firm name of G. II. Murray q Co. "Eph {"
Simmons was one of the three trustees,
and in the event Of his death the deed OF
trust stipulated the vacancy was "to b,
filed by successor nominated by John
A. Morris" The operations of the firm
rested upon charters granted by the Leg
islatures OF Missouri, Kentucky Virginia,
Delaware and Georgia.
The Louisiana Lottery was incorporated
in 1867, but did not begin active operations
until 1870. It's capital stock was fixed at
81, 100000, in shares OF 800 each. A clause
in the charter provided that $40 000Oa year
should be paid to the educational fund OF
the State, in consideration of which the
corporation was to be free from all taxes.
Not long after its incorporation Charles
T. Howard and John A. Morris became
the actual owners of the lottery, through
various transformations and "assign-
ments." The fiction of a company, how
ever, has always been kept UP.

NJ. A. Dauphin, and now Paul Conrad
lends his name "a figurehesd. For many
years past Mr.. Morris is said to have been

his connection with the turf and as the

THE GROWTH OF PEACE

AS civilization steps to higher
scale, war grows into disrepute, and
the active mind Of man turns
more and more to the arts of peace
rather than to the arts of war. Time
was when nations would plunge into
war upon the most trivial preteXt,
but to-day the nation that would
lift it's arm against it's neighbor, eX-
cept upon some weighty cause, would
be looked upon by the world much as
the red-handed assassin is.
And what an important factor in
this growth of feeling against war
has been the United States. Within
century of the foundation of it's
government, it took its place among
the foremost nations of the world.
Its. policy has always been against
war, yet when forced to fight for
the preservation of its rights, it has
never shrank from the conflict
Perhaps the greatest lesson the
world ever had in the ways of peace was
when the great rebellion closed, and
the mighty commander addressing
those who had lately been engaged in
deadly conflict, said: "Let US have
peace" and with this more than a
million Of men turned from the blood
stained fields OF war. to the quiet
paths OF peace. This was followed
by the settlement of the serious diff
culties between this country and Eng
land by means of arbitration. Since
then the powerful influence of this
nation has been used in the preserva-
tion of peace. And the influence that
has been exerted has been all the
more powerful from the fact that we
have been able to practice what
we preach, in that our stand
ing army has never exceeded a mere
handful of men, as it were. No doubt
we have been enabled to grow up to
this position because of our isolated
position until now, our great
strength is feared and respected by
the nations of the earth.
But while the tendency in Europe
has been to preserve the peace, yet it
must be said that the fruits of peace
are being purchased at fearful cost.
1t has been said that because of the
inventions of war, the nations of
the old world do not dare to enter in.

TELLS A HARD STORY.

Sheriff Glynn arrested negro
named John Vader, Sunday, at his
home near the cement works, on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Emma
Vader, his wife, charging him with
committing fornication with a young
woman named Lillian Smith, on the
night of June oath. Vader was ar
raigned this forenoon and pleaded
not guilty, and the trial was set for
Wednesday. l. P. Shissler appeared
for him. Bail was placed at 800.
Mrs. Vader, who is white woman,
makes some further and more serious
charges against her husband. She
says that until recently they lived in
the township of Shieldsville, Rice
county, and for six years the Smith
woman, who is twenty-four years of
age and unmarried, has lived with
them, coming first as hired girl and
then making her home there. She
says the illicit relations between this
woman and her husband commenced
a year ago, and that on last May 5th a
child was born to the Smith woman.
while riding in buggy on the road.
This was a healthy girl and lived I'M
til midnight of May Goth, when it
suddenly died, and Mrs. Vader init
mates that the death was not natur-
al. The remains were buried in a
field. She says that Vader threaten
ed to kill her if she ever told any
thing about the affair.
The Smith woman's mother resides
in Chatffeld, and her father is J. r.
Smith Of Eagle Lake, who is agent
for the Gopher State oil. He is very
respectable man and when he heard
of the case last week started out on a
hunt after Vader. Had the latter
been in sight he would probably not
have been able to appear in court to-
day.
Mrs. Vader says that she and her
husband have been married for TWEEN
ty-one years, and that she will now
sue for divorce. She says that her
husband has made admissions to her,
but inasmuch as a wife cannot testify
against husband it is difficult to see
how her evidence is to appear.

Carr;er PIGEONS TO. the Navy.

When the United States practice ship
Constellation sailed on the cadets sum-
mer voyage Monday afternoon it had
aboard number of homing pigeons,
to be used as means of communication
between the ship and points ashore. The
birds will be liberated at intervals, and
are expected to bring official messages
from the practice vessel to the naval
academy, where a loft or cote has re-
Gently been established.
If the experiment should prove sue
cessful the government will probably
find it profitable to the navy to encour-
age the homing pigeon service with the
small appropriation needed to carry out
the plans of the projectors of the enter
prise. At present the facilities for
training birds at the naval academy are
limited, no government appropriation
being available. At Fortress Monroe,
the first stopping place of the ship, it is
possible several trained birds from Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York will
be taken aboard and later dispatched
with information from the cruising
grounds. The headquarters at Wash
ington will also be posted of the where
abouts of the vessel through winged
messengers from that city. A loft of
birds to accompany the ship will no
doubt be sufficiently trained toward the
close of the voyage to be useful in con-
veying messages ashore. = Annapolis
