Taking Brace Before the West

NOTES OF THE PLAYERS

There has been an unlooked-for revival of
interest in base ball here during the pres
ent week. due. principally. to the fact tnat
the good-natured Chicago team came to
town Thursday and helped the Senators out
OF the tail-end position. In political circles,
the success Of the Washingtons is probably
attributed to the passage of the tariff bill,
Tor. just now. everything that savors of
business activity is charged to the partial
adjustment of the tariff question

AT last the umpires appear to be gaining
In their race for supremacy over the play
ers Heretofore 1t was the umpires who
had to appeal to the players not to roast
them in the presence Of the spectators.
Now 1t Is different The crowd is begin
ming to take sides with the umpire against
the disagreeable players, and in one Of the
games played here this week high-salaried
player was heard to address the following
appeal to Umpire Emslie: Don't give me
the worst of 1t, Bob. / am in the business
as well as you are. and 1 only want fair
chance to get along"
This pathetic appeal was made after the
player had been called, out on strikes. He
is considered a good hitter, and his strike
out was at a critical stage in the game.

answer and without noticing the
ruflians, continued on his way. He
was again stopped and informed
that if he did not give the desired
information that they would use
force. With reply that showed
no fear the army man passed on.
This shows that Waco is the
abiding place of class OF hoodlnms
that neither respect religion, virtue
or law and order when workers In

that while such characters who are

When a Trout Is Hungry.

A curious incident. showing that
trout will not be easily frightened
from hook when they are hungry, is
told by a Maine sportsman. He felt a
good bite, but before he could haul in
the fish it broke loose and got away
He readjusted his bait and made an
other cast. In minute the hook was
again taken, and he pulled in a two
pound trout. It was hooked in the
side of the mouth, while upon the
other side piece more than al inch
long had been torn from the jaw, and
the wound was still bleeding. This
showed conclusively it was the same
fish that had just taken the hook and
had got away. The singular part was
that fish SO badly wounded should
bite second time.-Bangor News.

of ali cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar Only with the means gener-
ally iii use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, wlliskey, different preparations of
hypophosp1lites and such like ballfatf1es.
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, i'll all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
cenfage Of cases, and we believe, JnlLy 98
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with Copious expectoratlon Gnclud-
ing tubercular matter), great loss OF flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Go1den Medical Discovery, !"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal na1ady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod :
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
ski1lfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.
why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character In History.

why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character In History.
Within the past year there has been
a revival of interest in the career OF
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences bv those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been a po-
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price
less all pictorial records of his time. In
the drama he poses as the most pictur-
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. AS Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again"
In France the sting of defeat after
the FrancoPrussian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period of great
est glory, and so it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma
pOlCOu revival Ill Ul1lo
The Century's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. It
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one Of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
ters in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate
ly represented. For that reason Prof
William M. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student of French history. was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows us a
new Napoleon, devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
hended.
