Base Ball Notes.

It would seem that the New England
League not only took tie initiative in the
matter of prohibiting the farming out evil.
but that it has taken another important
departure. We refer TO the salary limit.
about which nothing was said in the re-
ports of the recent annual meeting. So it
would appear that the farce of fixing a
limit beyond which all agree nor to 60.
even with most of the parties to it already
in state Of violation when the compact is
made, is to be no longer kept up. There
has always been i quite general violation
OF the rule, and never and attempt to en-
force it.and it is better under those condi-
lions not to enact such legislation. It's
operation has been very similar to Maine 5
rum law. Portland Argus.
The farce is to be kept up, for, while the
matter was discussed, nothing was done
and the salary limit remains part of the
New England League constitution.

How Popular Or. Charcot's k0la Nervlnc

Ask any wholesale or retail druggist
of your acquaintance what is the most
popular and satisfactory proprietary rent
edy In use today and if he speaks can

taken is due to their merit, to the fact
that thousands are suffering from nervous

Vicious curative powers Of the nut, produc-

Kola preparation as being the greatest
and most cficacious remedy for diseases

In this opinion the United States Health

made a critical and chemical analysis OF
DR.. Charcot's kola Nervine Tablets, joins
in the heartiest and most authoritative
manner. We feel it a public duty to give
this great remedy, not only personal en-.

NO CHANGE CONTEMPLATED

Washington, Jan. 14.-No modification
of she call issued by Secretary Carlisle in.
Wiling bids for 500, 600, 900, per cent. 30
years bonds on 3 per cent basis. is con.
tem9lated ut the treasury department.
ready under this circular bids hav,
been received for the bonds, which bids. il
is held would be initiated by any change
now made, which would work hardship
upon those already having bid
Under the circular the bidders have "a
days within which time to complete nav.
ment for the bonds, the bids for which are
accepted by the secretary Most of the
gold received for the bonds must come out
of the banks Of the country, principally
out Of New York.
The effect Of this would be to reduce tho
gold holdings Of the banks and necessitate
the substitution of some other form of coin
or paper currency for the reserves thus
withdrawn. This would naturally pro
cucc congestion in the money market.
in that event. it is understood that the
secretary would so regulate the PAYMENTS
and extend the time AS, in his judgment
the circumstances of the case demand.

GO TO WORK.

The following from an unknown
exchange, is good advice to young
men:
young men to day are not lack
ing in the desire to hitch their wa
CONS to a star. but rather they
shirk from building the ladder by
which they climb. An old Gre
clan philosopher accepted the
work of scavenger in the streets
of Athens with the remark: "If
the positions does not reflect Gre
dit upon me then l will reflect
credit upon the position" An ex-
change gives a lucid picture of
the condition of many young men
of to-day in the following Ian
guage: "Some body has said that
there are more young men in the
penitentaries of this country lear
ming trades than there are out
s ide of them"
"The principal cause of this is
we are educating our young men
for gentlemen; trying to make
lawyers, doctors and clerks out
the material that nature intended
for blacksmiths, carpenters, and
others "hewers of wood and draw
ers of water"
at is mistake and a big one
to teach the boys and the girls, by
insinuations and otherwise that
labor is disgraceful, or if labor is
necessary for livelihood, to fol-
low a genteel occupation, and that
to do nothing for a living is more
becoming to the society in which
they expect to move, and have rer
spect. Hang such society, it is
rotten to the core, and there are
many mans SONS and daughters
who are being engaged to play the
part of leading lady" or walking
gentlemen in the great drama of
life, who will light out for the
penitentiary before they have
played their parts and the cur
tain drops. Go to work"
