CIAREMONT, Ont, Dec. 11.-Gra-
ham Brothers, the owners of the horse
Royal Standard, replying to the claim
recently set up by Secretary Garrard,
of The Illinois state board of agricul-
ture that he was a ringer" have
written a letter to Mr.. Garrard, in
which they make the following state
ments: Now, Royal Standard is not
only no ringer but was entered in
your classes at your show in good faith
and with a complete understanding
of the requirements. Some time before
the date set for the show, Mr.. Cal
hrafth. an accredited agent of yours,
called upon Robert Graham with a re-
quest that he would make some en-
tries He pointed out that, according
to the condition of the prize list, Royal
Standard was not eligible He an
swered that the Er~Itsh certificates
which he possessed would be accepted.
Accordingly, the entry was sent and
the horse competed with the most sat
isfactory results. When Mr.. Graham

WESTERN LEAGUES PRESIDENT.
Appreciative sketch of Him by "a
Chicago Paper.

ChIcHSO EhpeEs
Since the central Office OF the Western
league OF professional base ball clubs was
moved to this city from CINCINNATI the presI-
dent of the organization, BAN B. Johnson,
has become something OF greater figure in
the national game. Recently the talk OF, Capt.
A. c. Arson going with the Western league
as the head of a team in this city has given
Johnson considerable prominence, says the
Chicago Times-Herald. As d matter of fact,
more news is expected to come out of the
office of the Jolly leader of the minor league
than from any other headquarters of the
sport. Johnson is d particularly, busy man
these days. There is a gap in the league
that will have to be filed at the coming
meeting. There is a vacant franchise. Chi
cago has been literally talked of as the ult-
mate possessor. In the meantime Johnson is
a busy man. Todayshe is,,heDe, tomorrow in
st. Paul and two days later Detroit papers
will have interviews with him there He
transacts much of his business from a coy
office in the Monon building. e.. p
His duties are many and varied. He keeps
all playing records and figures. He, attends
to all the details of railroad transportation
ina system of handling that business is said
to be a model of perfection. He pays the
railroads. the clubs paying him. 1t all comes
out of a 10 per cent guarantee fund. Each
club sends him 10 per cent of the receipts of
each game. That is the working capital of
the league. This railroad system of Johnson's
will be copied by the National. league next

league. That is not SO. lie has access to
all the books of the league clubs in order that
he may see that the saary limit is not ex-
ceeded by any of them. .+
Johnson began life as a newspaper man and
was connected with the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Gazette for eleven years. He did poiit
cal work, and when Caylor went East took
his place in base ball. sHer the executive
side of the game for the first time in 1891,
when he became secretary Of the American as
socitation team in Cincinnati. He was born
in q grad
uate of Oberlin college. Johnson Is one Of
the original Arson men. so far as the West
ern league is concerned. He thinks his or
ganization could not hope to- make a, better
Stroke of business enterprise than to secure
the veterans services. There is little hope
of that, however.

FIGHT FOR THEIR SEX.

Kansas City Women Oppose Threaten
ed IndiEnity to Female PrisOners.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, July 15.-The or
ders of the police commissioners of Kan
sas City, Kan, that women prisoners must
work on the stone pile along with the men,
has caused a great commotion, and has not
yet been put into effect, and perhaps 1t
may never be.
The Current Event Club, an organization
of women, has expressed itself as immeas-
urably shocked, and has called an indis-
nation meeting to protest against the
Threatened disgrace and degradation of
womanhood.'
The members threaten that enforceme 1t
of the order means the retirement of the
police commissioners from office at the
first opportunity, and as women vote in
Kansas municipal elections, the threat is
not regarded as altogether an idle one, and
may have its desired effect Their princi-
pal objection to the rock pile is that part
of the order compels the women to work
without skirts and to wear overalls in
stead. The police officials stand by their
order and say that the first women pris-
oners whose fines are not paid will go to
the rock pile.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 15.-Rev. John
Peat, D. D., the superannuated Methods;
clergyman, whose offer to the American
University of Washington, D. c., to make
for them the largest rejecting telescope
glass in the world was accepted by them
two years ago today. has completed his
task and will announce to the authorities
Of the university today that the last deli
cate touch has been put upon the per-
fected work.
He agreed to complete the work In two
years and did 1t to the day. The glass is
sixty-twc inches in diameter, s 8-S inches
in thickness and when mounted will be
the largest telescope in the world. DR..
Peat believes the glass to be OFFICIALLY per-
feet. and is confident that it will be a
perfect mirror when silvered. He has
ably short time in which to do SO monu-
mental a work. His inventive genius enabled
him to devise time saving devices for pol
ishing and grinding hitherto unknown to
lens makers.
The glass in its present unsilvered state
reflects only about 10 per cent of Eight and
yet the figures on a watch dial LOCO feet
away can be read with ease. DIR. Peat has
not yet been notified by the university
what immediate disposition will be made Of
the glass.
DR.. Peat is a remarkable man. He is a
native of Ireland and has for many years
served the Methodist church as a clergy
man and pr siding elder. He is in his
seventy-ifth year, is as hale and active
as a man of forty; his eyesight and hearing
are unimpsired and he still retains all the
buoyancy and good humor of his youth.
He has been a great traveller through all
lands and clime,. He is hard student
a philosopher and Christian gentleman.

Frank Fitzgerald. plumb er, had rough
and rather varied experience last light,
and now he is to be tried in the Police
Court on charges of assault The plumber
was under the influence of liquor when
Policeman Hartley al rested him, and his
resistance put him in condition for hos
pital treatn ent The policeman was also
injured, but the plumber got the worst of
the scrimmage.
When the plumber was taken to the
Emergency Hospital for treatment he as
saulted DE-. Bahr, and was subdued only
after a severe struggle. The man seemed
exhausted. but when the doctors released
their hold on him he rolled of the operat-
ing table and ran away. On the street he
met two policemen, whom he told sad
story Of having been refused treatment at
the Emergency Hospital. These officers,
who pitied the injured man, sent him 10
Providence Hospital.
Charges of assault have been preferred
against him. and he may be tried in the
Police Court tomorrow.
