Meades headquarters overlooking the
battlefield The sculptor has treated
his subject in simple way. The horse,
a beautiful and powerful animal, is
standing firmly an all feet, with head
erect, evidently as much interested as
his master Gen Meade is quietly over
looking the battlefield. In his right
hand he holds field glass, which is
lightly resting on the pommel of the
saddle. In his left hand he carelessly
holds his hat. The portrait of the Gen
eral is boldly rendered. The sculptor
made life-siZe study head, as prepa.
ration for this work, and while doing
this had the valuable advice of Gen.
Meade's family. The Gettysburg Com
mission and Col. Meade, one of the SONS
of Gen. Meade, recently visited Mr..
Browns studio, and are cordial in
their approval of the statue.

CAP FOR LUE-OPENlNG.

Fills the F1ue and the Proverbia1
Long-Fclt Want as Well.
Here is very ingenious and useful
arrangement. which was recently pat
ented by Mr.. Gustafson, of Nebras-
ka. 1t is a cover for the pipe open
ing of a fiue, and is designed to fit so
neatly and closely that it will always
be in place and prevent gases, smoke,
SCOT or fire coming into the room.
The cover is h-shaped, and has an
angular fat fange, which rests against
the wall, so that the cover closes the
pipe opening, and in the center Of the
cover turns screw-rod, with a knob
on it's outer end On the inner end of
this rod is a nut in a disk, which
touches the inner surface of an ex-
pansion cone of sheet iron. The sides
of the cone overlap each other, SO that
the cone may be readily expanded or
contracted by turning the knob on the
outer end of the rod.
When. therefore, the cover is adjust
ed in the pipe opening, turn or two of
the rod fixes it tight in place, where it
will remain until it is desired to take it

of his eldest son, M. Hortensius de
Saint-Aibin. The latter died in 1877
ana the Memoirs of Barras' passed
into the possession of his brother, !,
Philippe de Saint-Albin. who died TO,
years later and who bequeathed them
to his sister, Nine Achille Jubinal.
Nine. Jubinal followed her brother to
the grave after few years interval
and the memoirs were turned over to
the present editor, M. George Duruy.
VINO had become connected by mar
riage with the Saint-Albin family.
Thus by singular irony of fate these
memoirs, which were written by Bar
ras In spirit Of the bitterest hatred
OF Napoleon, after fifty-five years find
as their editor an uncompromising par
tisan and ardent admirer of Napoleon,
for such NJ. George Duruy proclaims
himself to be. He not only decides to
publish them, but to publish them just
as Barras wrote them, thereby resist
ing the temptation to expurgate them
and to shield the memory Of Napoleon
and of Josephine from many of the
wanton ISLANDERS and vicious insults
with which the bad Barras maliciously
attempts to defame them.
He comes to the conclusion that the
Emperor's memory will not suffer from
this vicious attack on his character
He believes that no cloud of calumny
which may arise from this or other
quarters will be able to obscure the
radiance of Napoleon's star, and with
this thought in mind he invokes the
words of the Emperor himself on the
subject:
"Calumny has exhausted all it's ven
ON against my person. 1t can no long
er affect me. 1t is no longer anything
more in my eyes than the poison of
Mithridates. / am fated to be the food
of pamphleteers, but I have no fears
of falling a victim to them. They will
bite granite. Ny memory is entirely
composed of facts which mere words
cannot obliterate. If the great Fred
erick, or any other man of his mold,
were to set to writing against me it
would be a different matter-it would
then perhaps be time for me to be

He is now an octogenarian, but is re-
markably active for his advanced years,
and can enjoy good game to-day AS
we'll as he could in the old avs. The doc
tor was one of the first men to join an
organized baseball club and quickly
took the lead in all matters connected
with the growth and character of the
sport.
Speaking of the early days of the
game, DR.. Adams says: I'm September,
1916, some New York young men form
ed the Knickerbocker Baseball Club.
They went into it just for exercise and
enjoyment, and | think they used to
get a good deal more solid fun out of it
than the players in the big games do
nowadays. About a month after the
organization of this club several of us
medical fellows joined it. The follow
ing year | was made President, and
served as long as | was willing to re-
tain the office. Twice a week we went
over to the 'Elysian Fields for prac-
tlce. People began to take an interest
in the game presently, and sometimes
we had as many as one hundred spec
tators watching the practice. The rules
at that time were very crude. The pitch
ing was all underhand, and the catcher
usually stood back and caught the ball
on the bound.
There was then no rivalry, as no
other club was formed until 1850, and
during these five years base ball had
desperate struggle to exist AS captain,
| had to employ all my rhetoric to in
duce attendance, and often thought it
useless to continue the effort, but my
love for the game, and the happy hours
spent at the 'Elysian Fields led me to

Caught Galvin's Only Hit.

Umpire Galvin's decisions in the re-
cent Chicago-P ittsburg series of bali
games have caused great deal of talk
among the fans and incidentally has
brought out a great many stories about
the genial James. One of these re-
lates to James when he was at the
zenith of his fame as a pitcher. All
season Calvin had been twirling in rare
form, but his batting, never strong, had
been particularly weak. The others
used to say that when Jimmy saw
hot one coming across the plate he
would shut his eyes and "swipe" at it.
The season was drawing to an end and
Calvin had made scarcely a hit. 1t
was critical point in the game, with

field at Gettysburg, will soon be ready
