DIAMOND DUST.

The Senators will commence regular
team practice work March %, exactly a
month before the opening OF the league
season.
Presidents Frank DeHaas Robson and
Charles Napoleon Byrne, of the Cleve-
land and Brooklyn clubs, respectively,
will witness President McKinley's tri-
umphal procession.
Pitcher "Effie" Norton writes from
his home at Connaught, Ohio, that his
health is splendid and that he thinks he
will he able to take his regular turn in
the box during the coming season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ables and daughter OF
Brooklyn are visiting in the city and will
remain until after the Inauguration cere-
monies. Mr.. Ables is the principal stock
holder in the Brooklyn baseball club.
Capt Tom Brown did not find time from
his bicycle 10 attend the Baltir.lore meet
ing last week. The speedy chief OF the
Senators has become a regular crank
and rides miles and miles every day. He
and Cartwright think of entering the next
siX-day race.
o.. T.. CayiOr says That proposed slab OF
stone in front of the pitchers box Is no
new idea. 1t was tried in the American
Association during the eighties. In his
first game with the slab in front Tony
Mullanc, who was the prime culprit In steal
ing ground, stepped on the slab and did
an involuntary split act Next time he
pitched Tony Wore lawn tennis shoes
with rubber soles, and the stone slabs
official name thereafter was mud Other
pitchers adopted rubber soled shoes. There
was no rule TO compel a pitcher to wear a
particular kind OF shoe. or any shoe at ALL
for that matter, and the stone slabs short
reign passed away.
Capt. Joyce is inclined to be very con
scrvative in the public predictions which
he makes of the Giants work this year,
He expects to finish anywhere from fifth
upward, but there is suppressed blaze of
confidence in his eyes whenever he speaks
of the coming race, which betokens n faith
far beyond that which he expresses. There
really seem TO be justifiable grounds for
this stolid faith OF the Giants leader. He
will start with the same niue which made
its wonderful record during the last eight
weeks of the 1896 campaign. when il Won
twenty-eiPht of the final forty two games
Sullivan did not Join the team last year
till the middle OF June. Seymour did not
round up and get League confidence 'ntil
after joyce took aim in hand, when he
showed most promising pro weSs. Doheny's
misfortune kept him out of tie game until
the last month, when he closed the season
With two OF three great pieces Of work In
the box. With the present team to support
him, Dad" Clarke will not be walking off
the field day after day, threatening In his
own peculiar manner to hire ont lS long
shorcman. Confidence in his nine is half
a pitchers power. Clarke this year Will
be % giant in his work compared with the
Clarke of 1896.

business, OF in any other undertaking, un-
less he has health to carry him forward and
to sustain his efforts. When he begins to
lose health and strength and vitality, he be-

the power of accomplishment, and so the
power of earning.
A mans health is the most precious thing
he can possibly own. Every man who is
losing health, who is rundown" who is

The clocks had all been taken out Of the
library, and without knowing the second
or his going, my master sat calmly there
waiting for death. Opposite him with
