A MUCH TRANSLATED BOOK.

OF "Don Quixote" IL may be said, saw
ing only the Bible, 10 has been translated
oftener and into more languages than any
other book. A recent Spanish editor Don
Lopez de Fabra enumerates $50 editions
of the Spanish masterpiece in foreign Ian
guages. That computation Is certainly
short of the truth.
Not only are there more translations In
English Of "Don Quixote" than any 9th
er language, but IL is England which from
the first has done moro honor to the au-
thors work than any other country. The
first critical edition of "Don Quixote" In
Spanish, with the first life Of Cervantes,
by Mayans Siscar, was published in Lon.
don In 1888, more than 40 years before the
Spaniards had aroused themselves to do
honor TO their greatest writer.
This edition, in four handsome volumes,
was printed sumptuously in all the glory
of the Tonson press under the auspices Of
Lord Carteret at an age when don Quix-
ote" was still appearing In his native
country on filthy ballad paper in execra.

pitcher, Is sn interesting person at THIS
time. aud he Is attracting more attention
lust now in the baseball world than any
otlrsr man who plays ball Has his pro-
fesslonaf career come TO a closer That Is
the question which gives him such prom
inence.
Last summer ne injured his pitching
arm. The injury was Co "a muscle which
has .stired more pitchers in days gone by
than any other muscle or ligament of the
arm. Some experts among ball players
prophesied at the time the injury was con-
tracted that his career as u pitcher was
ended.
McMnhon went south with his club this
sprinc and did gentle exercise. Runors
flew north that the injured arm would not
submit to practice. Until recently Nc
Mahon himself was noncommittal upon
his condition. Now he announces that he
will not pitch game during the first
month of the championship season, but
asserts that when the weather gets warm
he will bo "as good as ever" The case
looks suspicious, yet every true lover OF
baseball hopes McMahon's confidence in
the recovery Of his arm Is well founded.
Such men IA he when they are forced TO
retire are severe losses TO the sport, for he
easily classes with Rusle, Meekin, Nichols,
Young and Breitenstein. If McMahon's
Injury proves to be Of a permanent charac-
ter, the champions will be badly handicap
ped. But II his good arm is still good it
will greatly strengthen the chances OF his
club to again win the pennant.
Eugene de Montreville is playing base
ball professionally for an Eastern League
club. May his tribe increase and his star
ascend co the zenithl Such name on the
professional roll is delicious innovation.
1t helps to smooth the roughness In the
published scores and reports of games of
the Mike Tiernans, the Pat Tebeaus, the
Tommy McCarthys, the Hogreives, the
Bierbauers, the Breitensteins and the
Glasscocks. Would there were more Do
Montrevilles, We're dc Veres, Montagues,
st. Clairs and Agincourts; more Eugcnes,
Arthurs Reginalds and Percys and less
Mikes, Dams, Jins, Jacks, Joes and Bucks
Juliet may poohpooh the sound of a name
and talk about roses smelling as sweet II
called mud, but she never was closely asso-
~ciated with the business of baseball, else
she would have agreed with me that an
improved nomenclature would help the
national game 'most powerfully" as
they say in Kentucky. Room for Eugene

lily armed. and destined 10 join the Cuban
insurgents. The authorities of Yucatan
notified the minister that for lack OF
means they could not guard their coasts
Although there are Cuban clubs in the
coast towns of Mexico, the minister con-
siders that they would be of little use to
the rebels, either in the way of money or
recruits.
Regarding the attitude of the United
States, the press and people. which are
alleged TO be almost universally i'm sym
pathy with the Cubans, and giving open
aid 10 the rebellious, the minister intimat-
ed that Spain would ask explanations. and
would exhaust diplomatic resources be-
fore proceeding further. but would then
act as circumstances should dictate He
would prefer that Cuba in the last resort
be annexed 10 Mexico, rather than ho-
come a part of the United States He
says that when the rainy season ends in
Cuba the Spanish government i'll make
a supreme and Irresistible endeavor 10
suppress the rebellion with l25,oo0 men
and forty batteries of artillery.
