An Historic Ring.


Representative White of Illinois wears
on his little finger of his left hand a
seal ring whose historic interest far
surpasses the intrinsic value of the jewel,
although it is probably the finest intaglio
in Washington. 1t is plain, unostenta-
tious hyacinth, bearing the classic head
of Antoninus Plus, ruler of Rome from,
1873 to ISL, and was cut and worn by
the Great Roman philosopher and En-
cured it while in Italy, paying 5000
francs for it, or about 5000 in American
money. 1t had Roman setting of great
antiquity. Mr.. White took the ring
to Titfany's, in Paris, and ordered the
stone to be set in plain gold band.
The great jewelry firm specified that it
would do so only at the owners risk, on
account of the inculcable value of the
stone. The head is engraved in Il pure
is perfectly translucent, and gives out
remarkable play of colors. The en-
craving is perfect, and leading lapidaries
have assured Mr.. White that it required
two years to complete the head in its
perfected Observation-Disclosures Post.
Coffee Growing in south Carolina.
South Carolina, as is now widely
known, is already producing frst-rate
article of tea for drinking purposes from
plants grown in the state. We are glad
to be able to make the encouraging an
nouncement that there is now a very
good prospect that it will soon be in a
position to produce at home also much,
if not most, of the coffee it requires for
such purposes. We have seen some of
the homegrown coffee. A few seeds
were obtained last year by J. G. Ball of
Cordesville. and were planted on his
farm, the Middleburg place, Cooper
River, yielding crop of about buslcl
Some Of the product was roasted and
ground and made into coffee, which was
served to guests at his New Years din
ner few days ago, and was pronounced
by them to be of fine quality and flavor.
Mr.. Ball only claims for it that it is SUI
perior to Rio. and is sure that it will
bear that claim Mt least. Mr.. Ball is SO
we'll satisfied with his experience of the
new plant so far that he will plant sew
cral acres this year.-Charleston News

ERlrtiafY Berry 1ulleiin.

The growers of berries for market
should realize that ordinary farm meth
DDS are not sufficient. Berries cannot be
grown and marketed as easily as wheat,
corn and potatoes. Berry growing, like
market gardening, requires the greatest
concentration of good soil, labor and
thought. Too much land is the bane Of
most fruit growing as well as farming.
Success would be more certain if acre
age were divided and fertility, prepara-
ton and cultivation increased. Intcnsi-
he'd farming and concentrate of energy
are the diamond drills that bore out sue
cess.
Take counsel from books, papers and
practical growers, but let it be tempered
rience. Actual knowledge and practical
experience should go hand in hand. Let
the beginner commence moderately, and
go slow. Do only what can be we'll done,
Nothing but the best product will pay
Use limited variety of best plants pro-
duclng large, firm, attractive fruit

You have to learn the artof bicycle riding.

Watch any half dozen cyclists as they pass
and YOU will see that five of them do not
know how TO pedal properly. II they had
but slight knowledge of the fast motion
with the same expenditure of power. they
could accomplish far greater results.
The art of pcdalinS is to push the pedal
not more than half the circle, taking care
toIirt the foot Immediately after it has done
its effective work. SO as not to burden the
rising pedal. This necessitates the drop
ping of the heel at the top of the stroke,
whichhelps the craDks over the dead center.

stroke and bringing the foot back with Il
clawing motion TO get over the dead center

TEBEAU ILLEGALLY FINED
Lawyer Rogers Comes Along With
His u Told You So" Story.
Maintain That the Board Exceeded
Its sAuthOrity, and That He eAdviscd
Against Directors Action.

In discussing the decision in the Tebeau
matter yesterday, Col. JohnI. Rogers said:
For reasons OF delicacy / have hereto
fore declined 10 be intervic wed or to answer
numerous letters and kilograms from West
crn journals on the legal aspect OF tie Te-
beau case. l was at Pittsburg awaiting the
decision in the Rusie case at the time the
board OF directors imposed the fine on Te-
beau.
when Mr.. Young came downstairs and
announced the decision of the board told
him that, however Tebeau's conduct may
have Justified the fine, it was not In W fully
imposed: that Mr.. Tebeau, like all other
American citizens, was entitled TO Il hear
ing. 1 also told him that section % of the
League constitution authorized the president
of the League, upon proper proofs to il-
nict maximum penalty of $500, which
could be renitted by the board. This, or
course, implied an appeal and hearing.
II advised the board to at once recon-
veDe and aDnul its action and let the presi-
dent impose the fine. One of the directors
who heard my viewsrather agreed with me-
but thought, as the result wolld he the same
whether the fine as imposed by the board
OF by the president, and that as Tehe.u
deserved the punishment ii might as well
stand, especially as the board had al journed
and its members were then scattering To
taSe the trains for their respective horEcs.
When | heard that Tebcau had filed
bill in equity and obtained a special lu-
junction | wrote 10 Mr.. Young, reiterat-
ing the above counsel and suggesting that
the board. by mail vote. remit the fine and
that the board could. upon affidavts as
president under section %, impose the
fine and notify Tebeau thereof and OF his
right to appeal.
Mr.. Young replied. however, that IL wa s
too late, as the Cleveland attorneys had
full charge of the case and were onfidcnt
OF victory. The decision of the court, ho W.
ever, suStains my anticipations. In fact,
cannot see how 1t could have been other
wise. The Ohio courts decision was in
evil able. and while its decree has no eN-
ira territorial effect similar injunction
could he evoked upon the same state nf
facts from the courts of equity IN other
States.
The League should manfully bow to the
law. especially tothe Ia W OF It's own ere a ation
ihusinterpreied. The board should wipe the
illegal fine rIom its records and take no
further action unless upon Tebeau's appeal
from a fine, which the president could yet
lawfully impose"

The Boston Traveller is up,n aims gainst
President Young. IL tells It's tale Of woe
in this manner:
This season, as in years past, most of
the trouble in baseball has been uccas stoned
y poor nnipires. II seems impossible fer
your Uncle Nick To get good men on his
STAFF TO look after the games; and the
result is that in many instances what should
have been baseball games deterioratcd
into farces. ..
During season President Y uung appoints
many umpres, all of whom makes their
debuts away from Washington, which is
about the only city in which Uncle Nick
ever sees an umpire. Complaints about
nnIpires generally avail nothing, s that no
matter how incompetent an umpire is, he
holds on 10 his job, simply because Mr.
Young thinks that the kick is the old gag
and that his umpire is all ri ght
1t seems that it would he the proper thing
TO partly, at least, settle the umpire ques-
tion by compelling President Young TO go
around The League circuit to see how his uIn-
pires are behaving, and TO make tours of
minor league cities TO size up candidates for
positions on his staff.
the National League an excellent example
by increasing the salary of President John
son, so that he may devote his entire time
10 looking after the affairs Of his eight-ciub
circuit. No doubt Nick Young has three
times as much work as President johnson.
Yet the National Lea que allows him 10 hold
a government position. and through it draw
a salary in conjunction with the Sc 900 he
receives yearly from the League.
This doubling of positions does not allow
Mr.. Young TO give the attention he should
to baseball Of course, the book business
affairs of the League are not neglected by
him, but the supervising portion of his
/ work is. He sees nothing that is going on
| in the field except what transpires in WASH
ington. He knows nothing that is going on
except what is reported TO him.
IN short, he is nothing II ore than a clerk.
when he should be superintendent And
the game is not benefited In the least Let
| the Lea que maEnates insist on Uncle Nick
| devoting all his time TO baseball and pay
| oim a sufficient increase to make up
what he would lose by resigning his govern
mcnt position.

SPEAKER REEDS NEW JOB.
Accepts Position of Insurance Referee

has Just been appointed successor TO tt,s
late William E. Russell, ex-governor of

of the principal life insurance companies Of
this country.
The position carries with it handsome
salary-better than that which Mr.. Reed
receives as Speaker OF the House OF Repre-

cree TO DO. If all the service which Mr..
Reed, IN his new position, will be called
upon TO perform inthe course OF u year were
called for at one time, lie could clean i up
within "a week.
When Ex-Gov. Russell died, leaving the
position OF referee TO the insurance COM
pauies vacant, Mr.. Mccall. on behalf Of New
York companies, thought of Mr.. Reed. He
telegraphed the heads of the companies that,
in his opinion, Mr.. Reed would he Just the
man for the position. Very quickly re-
sponses were received, and all were en-
thusiastic for Mr.. Reed. Accordingly Mr..
Mccall, acting on behalf Of the companies.
offered him the position, and it was ac-
cepted.
