Hard Hitting by the locals bring two
Victories For Us

Every body is talking of base ball
and our team. Why they are SO SMALL
But let me tell you something, they
play wonderful ball. Their hitting
is always the feature of the games.
There is Leason, our great pitcher, we
have jewel, and little Schmidt is a
star. He pitched wonderful game,
only allowing 8 hits to the visitors.

Henderson's team was completely
demoralized when their second defeat
was to hand, and every one went
away with the impression that Hop.
kinsville's aggregation was too much
for them. Pete Weber said they
were the hardest hitting little fellows
ever gotten together.
~
Schmiut's pitching was a feature,
his base running was also up to date.
~
We have the hardest hitting pitch
ers ever seen in our city. Lessons

THE MODEST VIOLET.
Significance of This Most Beauti-
full Flower of the Spring.
It IL a Favorite In Gay Paris In February
The Pretty Little Flower Has
History In tho French
Capital

Never we're violets so fashionable
in New York as for the latter part
OF winter and early spring just past,
says the New York Herald. One
dollar was not unusually charged for
a small bunch of these modest little
flowers that grew by the myriads in
fields and woods, hiding themselves
by dozens under fluttering leaf, just
like young chicks under the pro-
tecting wing of mother hen.
Not only do women wear violets
on hats, in bodices and belts; they
have punches fastened to their muffs,
and when they are raised toward the
face they soften the brilliancy of the
complexion and serve to make more
attractive those who would other
wise pass unnoticed.
In Paris where spring comes ear
lier than in New York, the boule-
Yards are beautifed by masses Of
fresh violets sold from flower stands
in the open air. During the second
empire the residents of the American
quarter, walking on Washington
birthday under a brilliant sunshine
in gay attire, wore punches of VIC
let's fastened by ribbons of red,
white and blue.
They did so because the violet was
the Napoleonic flower, and Ameri-
cans were quite at home in Paris and
at court during the reign of Napo-
leon III. The emperor retained a
warm friendship for those whom he
had known when he resided in the
of Blocker street, in New
York city. The Beckwiths, Posts,
Pennymans, Dodges and many 9TH
ers were we'll received in court cir
cles. During Lent it was good form
Tor men IN evening dress to wear a
black tie and small boutonniereof
violets with green leaf and a small
'prig Of white hyacinth or lilies Oh
The valley. And now, on every ami
7ersary of the last emperor's death,
! funeral service is held in the Church,
fist. Augustine, in Paris. The church
s usually filed with people in mourn
ng, all wearing small bouquets of
thus declaring themselves
n sympathy with the aspirations, or
vt least with the sorrows, of this
'amily.
In the morning of March 20, 1916,
who had been banished
,y the allies to the island of Elba,
lpon returning suddenly to Paris
or his reign of 100 days was well
omed by the women of Paris with
howers of violets. In memory Of
his attention on the part Of
he Parisians Empress Eugene
dopted the violet as the Napoleonic
mblem. Violets thus became fash
enable in the times of the second
mpire to such an extravaganza ex-
ent that they were eaten as salad,
nd Marquis, the widely known con-
ectioner, invented the sugared VIC
IT as bonbon. But not only was
he purple violet a la mode, but the
ale violet from Parma, Italy, as
yell. Alphonse Karr, the cele-
rated novelist and poet, retired to
lice, where he devoted himself to,

Consuming Smoke,

Many central stations in which soft
coal is burned have had much trouble
from the quantity of smoke escaping
from the chimney. Injunctions have
been secured for the suppression of
the nuisance, and it has. in some
cases, become apparent that either the
smoke alone OF the smoke and station
together must be stopped. In such q
~predicament engineers have been put
to the necessity of trying all manner
of smoke consuming apparatus, many
Of which have been found as inefR-
Gent as they were uneconomical. The
latest remedy proposed consists in q
device for removing solid matter from
the products of combustion by means
Of q cold water spray at the base of
the chimney. The SCOT goes away in
the water and is afterward collected,
while the gases are cooled to about $50
degrees Fahrenheit. AS this tempera-
ture is too low to give a natural draft
a fan is placed at the bottom Of the
chimney. The water spray is directed
IN the fan, and thus the apparatus is
kept comparatively cool and clean.
The system is unquestionably efficient,
but the tests for economy are not yet

POWER OF
Now York and Chicago May BE Fur
nished by the Niagara Company.

New orb md Chicago May BE Fur
nished by the Niagara Company.
If success in long distance power
transmission shall be achieved by the
Niagara experiment, Il host Of COM
petitive supply stations will spring
into existence wherever there is an
available water supply or favorable
fuel locations, such as the coal mining
regions or oil OF gas fields. Though
the Niagara plant has little to fear
from a rival waterfall, the probable
competition with power derived from
large steam central stations promises
to be serious, particularly in the man.
ufacturing cities located within q ra-
dius of $50 to 300 miles.
At present no such central power
supply stations exist, although their
advent seems imminent. Consequent
~ the only data on which to predicate
the cost of power to such installations
is the experience derivable from the
largest and most carefully admins
tered steam mills. With coal varying
from Sc to $3.50 per ton, an allowance
Of 10 per cent for interest and divi-
dends OF invested capital, and as
Stunning the most careful executive ad-
ministration, 1t seems probable that a
large, continuously operating steam
central station with a daily average
output of $4,000 to 10000 horsepower
could produce electricity at the rate
Of $45 to sos per horsepower per an
mum.
The Niagara company have offered
to sell electricity at the falls station
at SIS per horsepower annum; this
figure doubtless including what the
company considers a profitable mar
gin. In each case a horsepower is to
be delivered for t~wenty-four hours per
day, 1865 days per year.
Obviously the difference between $45
and SIS, n $27, may be expended to
cover losses In transmission and profit
on the necessary capital invested in
transmission lines and still permit the
Niagara company to compete on an
equal basis With the best designed
central station. This difference is q
very wide margin, and would cen to
afford so large a radius of distribu-
ton as to easily absorb all the enrgy
that the Cataract company could dis
pense.
Our more sanguine electrical en-
gineers predict that at no distant day
even New York and Chicago may be
thus supplied. Stea m experts, possibly
a little jealous of their electrical con-
freres, positively declare $50 or 175
miles to be the commercial limit of
