THE GAME HAS IMPROVED.
Better Ballpiayers Now than Ever
Before, says Pop" Arson.

Better BaiIpiayers Now than Ever
Before. says Pop" Arson.
"Pop" Arson, comparing the
past and present of baseball, said;
think the game has steadily i'm
proved since ten years ago and is
improving right along. There are
better players, better felders, and,
when you consider the disadvan-
tages against which they have to
labor, better pitchers than there
were in those heroic times. The
old-time sluggers-Orr, Brouthers
and the rest-seem so conspicuous
now because they were then in
a class by themselves. The
pitchers, only fifty feet away from
the plate, had the great majority of
the batters under their thumbs,
and used to get ten or twelve
strikeouts per game, while now
they are lucky to get two or three.
Under these circumstance a man
who could stand up to the plate,
pick out the ball as it whizZed
along and crack it safe about one
time in three was a rare bird and
was esteemed as wonder accord
ingly.
Eyes. sir The game has i'm
proved in every way and there are
more good ballplayers in the codn-
try than there ever were before. /
can see nothing to mourn in the
past aud everything to be pleased

RIcHFIELD SPRINGS, NY, Aug.
2I.-The extraordinary case of
daughter being hypnotized by her
own father developed here last
evening in the "Trilby" tableaux
given by some Of the leading guests
at the Richfield Hotel. The pro-
ceeds of the performance were to go
to St. Joseph's Catholic church,
and the summer theater where the
entertainment took place was
crowded early in the evening. The
patronesses included the Baroness
de Barrios, Baroness Won Western
hagen and Mrs. {. T. Grain, wife
of the ex-Chamberlain Of New
York City. Music, Rotations and
poses by Nine. Ricci of London
and the Misses Braem of New
York and Mather of Albany pre-
ceded the Trilby" performance,
in which the role Of Svengali was
assumed by Vice President Freder-
lex S. Howard of the Fourteenth
street Bank, New York City, while
the Trilby was his only daughter,
Miss Jennie Louise.

IT is undeniable that the various
Islands enjoy to the limit the priv
ilege of exercise of state rights in
protecting themselves against pos
sible contact with cholera. In a
number of instances in the United
States, city, county and state
authorities and even the central
government have all been defied by
a community in plague time.
