THE BASEBALL DINNER.


OF Aldermen.
Last night the members of the house Of
delegates entertained the board of alder
men at banquet at the Occidental hotel.
This was the forfeit for having lost the
baseball game between the two houses q
few weeks ago. The chair was occupied
by DIR. J. S. kloeber as president of the
house of delegates. To his right sat Mayor
Ronald and President j. P. Sweeney. of
the board of aldermen. To his left was
Corporation Counsel Donworth, and among
those present were: Aldermen Daulton,
Miller, Brewer, Carrie, Jordan, Ingram,
Cram, Delegates Brace, Cook, Crichton,
Coryell, Cal.igan. Drew, Lyon and
Ryan; c. G. Heifner, secretary of
the board of public works: A. K. Pinck-
ney, city electrician; Deputy City Clerk
Ogden, and representatives of the press.
The dinner. which was exceedingly good,
having been dispatched, DR.. Kioeber sent
10 each guest witty toast, and In very
happy way called upon each in turn.
Mayor Ronald, Corporation Counsel Dom
worth, Delegate Drew and Delegate CALI
gan kept the house in a roar with excep-
tionally humorous speeches, that of Mr..
Donworth being a clever play upon his
duties as adviser to the administration.
Some very pointed repartee upon council
contests was exchanged with great good
humor and laughter.

In spite Of all that has been said or may
be said respecting inequality in sentences
for crime, there is q rough average judg-
ment as to the amount of penalty which
it is Jus. to intiict, and this judgment is
substantially identical in all sections of
the United States.
Rather more than half of all prisoners
convicted of homicide are sentenced for
life or for a term Of years exceeding twenty;
little less than one-quarter for periods
VARYING from ten to twenty years, and a
little more than one-fifth for periods less
than ten years.
The tendency to greater severity in
creases slightly from east to west. OF
sentences for less than ten years, they
will be found TO be in the North Atlantic
division 1892 per cent, but in the North
Central division ONLY 1902 per cent: in
the South Atlantic division % 80 per cent.
but in the South Central division % IL rer

LONDON, Nov. l5.-No programme vet
exists for the international monetary con.
ference which will open at Brussels on
November %. When the delegates meet
the proceedings will be opened by one of
the Belgian representatives inviting the
American delegates to state the proposals
they desire to have discussed. These will
be presented and committee will be ap-
pointed to prepare definite programme.
The instructions to the English delegates
are that they are to treat the conference
as purely deliberative body, without
power as committees OF the governments
represented to do anything The Indian
currency committee is debating motion
to establish gold coinage in India, but the
proposal has no chance of approval Even
the single standard experts admit that the
change would convulse India politically.

afternoon, perfecting their style of play
and strengthening their weak points for

and giving the wrong signals seem to
have been the worst features. Toward
the last of the game the signals given by
Tacoma's quarterback resolved them
selves into about three different kinds, in
stead Of dozen, as arranged for before
the game began. Some confusion natur-
ally resulted. The fumbles in the game,
as seen by an expiayer who followed the
team closely about the field, also the
paints and gains and yards lost were as

pIood1ess Italian Battles. 1920.

As rule the art of war was then prac-
tised with little too much regard for
rules, says Macmillan's Magazine; it was
hide and seek behind specific bulwarks
rather than warfare. AS Voltaire says,
the soldiers of the land were distributed
between such and such cordottieri as If
they were professional harvesters. The
CAPTAIN OF mercenaries upon one side tried
his best to out-manosuvre the Captain of
InerceHaries on the other side.
If he succeeded in getting the enemy into
q corner from which they could not es-
cape, except by n desperate engagement,
absurd to think of, he sent of bombas1ic
tale OF victory to his employers, and asked
for an increase Of pay. And to make sure
that hi, success should furnish no excuse
for cessation of hostilities and the sign
ing Of treaties Of peace, (which meant dis
missan, he straightway shook hands with
the captive general and set him and his
army at liberty 50 that the campaign
might be continued. ts-;.9
This was in the light in which the con-
dettier viewed the responsibilities. Nor
was # difficult to live through a career Of
battles without wound at time when
such counsel as the following was es-
teemed sage enough to offer to the strip
ling soldier: ''You must know that to Sc
cure yourself against artillery you must
be either out Of its reach or behind a wall
or behind rampant. And, moreover,
see that the wall be thick enough" etc.

ROasetti,A First Love.

When Gabriel Dante Rossetti was very
young, scarcely more than boy, he was
deeply in love with young girl, says the
Pittsburg Despatch. and having a
poets gift he sang poets love in numer-
Gus sonnets and verses to her. She died
young, and by her wish the manuscripts
of these poems were placed in the caslet
and laid under her head, so that even i'll
the last sleep they should be as they
always had been, kept beneath her pillow.
Years passed by and Ressetti's fame
grew until every line of his composition
became precious, and some OF those who
priced his writings most asked him for
copies of the songs that had been buried.
lie had kept no copies, or they had been
lost. At all events he could furnish
none; and when they asked him to rewrite
the verses he declared that he was utterly
unable to do so. At last his friends i'm
portuned him for permission to have the
original manuscripts exhumed. He con-
scented after some hesitation, and, all the
necessary preliminaries having been COM
piled with, the grave which had been
sealed for many years was opened in the
presence of a wondering few.
Then a strange thing was found. The
casket containing the poems had proven
to be of perishable material and its cover
had crumbIed away The long tresses of
the girl had grown after death and had
twined among the leaves of the poets
papers, coiling around the written words
of love in a loving embrace long after
death had sealed the lips and dimmed the
eyes that made response TO that love.

How to Make Floor Cushions.

Floor cushions where the floors are
waxed and rugs are used are as popular
as they are useful and pretty. To
make them, take two large squares of
buriaps, and in the center of one OF these
squares sew securely an Upholsterer's
spring with Irvine and an upholsterer' s
needle. In addition TO this sew four
springs that are little smaller than tho
one already used, one near each corner,
about twelve inches from the one in tho
center. Then pack curled hair around
these springs until they are covered, and
lay on the extra piece of burlap and sew
tde edges together. Over the upper side
place thin layer Of wool and cover the
whole with strong unbleached muslin.
The cushion is then ready for the fancy
outer covering. 1t should be finished at
the edge with a cord.

but five years ago. He to-day inspires
Crispi in the latter's opposition policy in
the unwonted vigor which the ex-Premier
seeks to break the Triple Alliance and to
bring Italy into touch with France. In

as little as they had in fois5ing Cahensly-

The general situation Of Europe, might
add IN conclusion, will receive attention

sniGers Eat Their pIothers,

One of the most unnatural things in
nature, if the expression is allowable, is
the manner in which the young of the
wolf spider, found everywhere IN this coun-
try, treat their mother. After the little
creature has laid her eggs she envelops
them in siIken covering, so as to make
q ball the size of pea, and this she car
Ties about with her wherever she goes and
will defend it with her life. When the
young are Matched they climb on her back,
giving her monstrous appearance, and
ride about until nearly half grown, and
as soon as they discover their strength
they fall TO and devour their mother. As
rule, the maternal relation is recog-
nized in the animal and insect world only
so long as the necessity for protection ex-
lists, but instances of the young actually
devouTing the parent by main force and
common consent are extremely rare.
