PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
Only % Cents Charged For To-
peka Baseball; Come Out
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon the base ball
benefit game will be played at Athletic
park. The game will be called at 4 p.
1ene team lost the last game to Topeka
pie who buy a ticket to help buy new
uniforms may beSassured a good game
for their money besides.
A we'll known Topeka man said today
that Topeka people have set too high a
standard on the base ball question and
a game which would be considered sat
isfactory in the western league is boot
ed at in Topeka 1t is certain that since
the days of Goldsby's Golden Giants
Topeka people have never been satisfied
with its base ball team. They always
did want a dollar show for fifty
cents.
This is a good time to show a changed
sentiment. Topeka can not support a
base ball team made up of players who
command $4,000 salaries and there is
no use to expect it. The management
is doing the best it can to pull through
and keep the city from going dead on
base ball and they have had a hard
pull. This is a good time to show that
their efforts are appreciated. There
should be a crowd at the game tomor-
row and if the players find they have
the right kind of support there will be
no further trouble about the games.
The admission to the grand stand to-
morrow will be 25 cents instead of So.
Striclxlett will pitch for Topeka. The
team should take in enough money to
buy the new uniforms for they are
badly needed

A large arch of evergreen and golden
rod had been erected at the entrance
of Champlain avenue and the road was
decorated with the national colorS. The
school auditorium, where the reception
was held, was gay with bunting. When
the president and his party entered the
large audience arose and greeted the
distinguished visitors with hearty ap-
plause. Still standing, the entire au-
dience sang a song of welcome At
the conclusion of the singing Rev. DR..
Lavalle, president of the school, made
\ short speech expressing the apprecia-
ton of the school for the honor con-
ferred by the visit. The president then
received all who desired to meet him,

ent profited by the opportunity.
Among those on the stage besides
President Lavalle and Secretary Mosher
were Archbishop Corrigan of New York

hand.

The Bethany campus presented gay
appearance last evening to do honor to
the annual lawn fete given by the
chancel chapter. The evening was per-
feet for such an affair and the attend
ance was very good. The grounds were
brightly lighted with japanese lanterns
and rustic seats were scattered around
in abundance, while the porch was fit
ted up with rugs and cushions. In
front of the porch was a very pretty
flower booth presided over by Mrs.
Miner assisted by Misses Louise and
Helen Smith and Miss Helen Thomp-
son. In a dimly lighted tent on the
grass plot in front of the college the
gypsies held forth. They looked very
quaint in all sorts of fantastic costumes
and told fortunes with the air of pro-
fesSionalS. They were Mrs. c. ]. Smith,
Miss Eleanor Work, Misses Santa and
Fe Waters, Miss Emma Dennis, Miss
Jean Frost and Miss Matte Bradshaw.
The ice cream booth was in charge of
Mrs. West, who was assisted by a num-
Der of young ladies. Miss Nan Jones
served lemonade under a huge Japan
csc umbrella, lighted by small lanterns.
The reform school band, under the di
rection of Mr.. Gormley, played on the
north porch during the evening. The
boys looked very nice in their new uni
forms and their music added greatly to
the pleasure of the guests. After 10
o'clock Steinbergs orchestra furnished
music for dancing, which was INDUCED
in in the gymnasium.

BOYLE'S POP GUN.
Sense Versus "WhO0pla' -
Judge Williams Doesn't
Indulge i'm Amy Sky
rockets.

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. IL
Judge John A. Williams of the federal
court was seen at his summer home in
Manitou regarding the quo warranto
proceedings brought by the attorney
general of Kansas against the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York.
The judge had just finished reading the
Associated Press account of the pro-
ceedings.
Il can see nothing very startling in
this matter except the sensational man
ner in which it has been handled by the
press. 1t is entirely within the pro-
vince of the attorney general to make
an effort to force the Mutual Life In
surance company or any other company
to prove their standing before the laws
of the state. I see no objection to that,
but up to date the decisions of the
state supreme court of Kansas against
insurance companies have been in ia
vor of the companies in similar cases.
If a company tenders it's payment for
a license to operate and gives proof
of its solvency it is entitled to operate
under the laws of that state"
What is all this talk about your in
junction annulling the execution of the
criminal laws of Kansas? Is there any
foundation for such an assertion
You will have to ask the state off,
Gals of Kansas where that comes in.
My order restraints them from arreStin g
the agents of the company throughout
the state, to prevent them from solicit
ing business, as long as the company
made proper application for license and
is known to be solvent. 1t looks as
though the state officials were attempt
ing to force payment of the contested
Hillmon claim against the company in
this manner"
What will be the result of the ap-
plication?" was asked.
L can not express an opinion upon
that matter. 1 am not in a position to
do much talking, but whenever the oc-
casion arises for me to act in this mat
ter I will be ready to do whatever my
duty requires. At the present time no
contempt proceedings are contempla-

HOW TO SAVE MONEY.
a Pointer for the Taxpayers League
of Topeka

ST will tell you how the Taxpayers
league can save the city $1,000 per an
num- said a county official to Jour-
nal reporter today. '"They probably
mean all right, but they don't seem to
be able to get at the bottom of things
and do real service for the taxpayers.
TT is not genarlly known, but it is
nevertheless fact that the police
judge has just as much authority in
criminal cases as a justice of the peace.
He can try cases and also bind over to
the district court. He has just as
much authority to hold hearings in
cases of felony as justices. AS it is
worked now a person arrested by the
police on a charge of felony is turned
over to some justice, who has a hearing
which is more or less expensive to the
county. The proceeding in the police
court is not expensive-in fact it does
not cost anything. The witnesses are
not paid and the officers who serve the
papers are employed on salaries.
In this city the police judge may be
paid 81 200 per annunl, and if the Tax
payers league will take hold of the
matter and have his salary increased
to that sum with the understanding
that he is to try all cases and conduct
all hearings in criminal cases they will
find that the county will be saved from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year. 1t will be rather
hard on the justices, but the taxpayers
can stand that"

ASPHALTING NEW YORK.
AS Many Miles of Streets Paved as
London, Paris and Berlin
Put Together

New York, Aug. 11.-Less than seven
years ago there were only comparative
ly few parts of the metropolis where it
was possible to ride in a cab, much less
on a bicycle, in comfort. Now, how
ever. the substitution sn 10 many parts
of the city of asphalt for stone paving
has made it possible to ride with COM
fort from one of almost any two given
points to the other without taking a
very roundabout route.
Today the. principal avenues are as
phalted, as well as numberless streets
which before were very roughly paved.
The amount of asphalt pavement in the
metropolis at present is greater than
that of London and Paris together, and
not very much less than London, Paris
and Berlin, and the end is not yet, by
a long shot. The department of pub
lie works, since the first day of Janu-
airy, 1895. has laid or prepared to lay
about 2,500,000 square yards of this
pavement, or a total of 140 miles. When
the work was first undertaken by the
present administration, a large proper
ton of the asphalt in this city was to
be found in what may be termed the
districts of brownstone houses. The
business quarters of the town, where
there is much traffic, now receive quite
as much attention as the residential
quarters, the effort being to pave those
streets which are used most and stand
most in need of good paving.

WHAT WILL WALKER SAY
If Prof Andrews Should Hold opin-
ions Opposed to HimP

Providence, r. L, Aug. Hi. L. Way
land of Philadelphia, dean of Brown
university. has addressed a lengthy
communication to Prof. Clark and other
members of Brown university in reply
to the latter's open letter to the cor
poration. In it mention it made of
President Andrews resignation and the
issues at stake. Continuing, he says:
THE real questions involved are, L
think, three-fold. First: Has an in
structor, minister, an editor, the pres
ident of a bank or of a college, right
to use his position to give currency and
open to suggestion from those who
have placed him in his position?
Il regret that the president by his
resignation seems to say: L regard my

Third: Was there any want of cour-

GREECE MUST PAY BILL.
Turkey Can't Move Out of Thessaly
Without Money.

Constantinople, Aug. 1.-THE peace
conference met again today at Topha-
neh Kiosk, and Tewfik Pasha, Turkish
minister for foreign affairs, submitted
proposals regarding the evacuation of
Thessaly, the indemnity and other is
sues involved.
This is likely to cause a tedious de-
lay.
The difficulty seems to turn on the
question of evacuation. The powers in
formed Greece that Turkey lacked the
means to withdraw her troops from
Thessaly unless a million pounds of in
demnity were paid down. They asked
the Greek government if it would be
impossible, except by the aid of a for
eign loan, which the proposed scheme
of control precluded.
