In safe and restful keeping.
Beneath the autumn sun,
The fields to-day lilo sleeping,
For harvest work is done
The blossoms prone are lying.
Touched by a chilly hand.
The birds are southwark flying
To find a warmer land.
But neither doubt nor sadness
Can mar our songs refrain,
Each heart exults with gladness,
For spring must come again.
The gloomy clouds are breaking
And drifting far away. ~
Gods peace and love are making
A glad thanksgiving day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-"The Balti-

the rules and regulations prepared by
the committee appointed by the League
last Spring. or they will not play at ALL
Such was the decision of Secretary
Nick Young. of the League, this morn
ing. after receiving letter from the
other member of the committee, Presi-
dent C. II. Byrne.
Mr.. Young decided that as the Ma
tional League had given him and Mr..
Byrne full authority to provide the
regulations governing a contest for the
Temple Cup, the regulations made must
stand.
He decides that the agreement made
by Capts. Hanlon and Ward to divide
the receipts equally was in conflict with
the regulations. and any games played
under the agreement would be simply
exhibition games and not for the cup.
Mr.. Young thinks. however, that the
decision of the Committee will not inter-
fere with the series of games scheduled
to begin tomorrow. He said the cap
tains OF the two teams will simply be
forced to agree to the 60 and 30 percent

Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan is expected first
of all to overcome the opposition of
Mayor Gilroy, Bourke Cochran and Cor
poration Counsel Clark to the peace
overtures that are to be made to the
Grace Fairchild and the Shepard
wings of the Democracy. He could not
be commissioned Bearer OF the Olive

the Police Commission, and with the
latter expound to the self-constituted
Boss Of Tammany and his little clique

In the mean time, other agents Of Mr.
Hill. whose personality is less objection
able to the antis, will do the missionary
work in the ranks of the opposition ir

perhaps to be forgotten in the customary
