Macon, Ga, May 11.-Bob Parker, a ne

possessions away promising 100 for when
the deposit is returned. This inciplent

The base ball season is a little late in
opening this year. but the familiar cry of
play balr' wille soon be heard.
The TrI-cub Amateur League of last
year was not reorganized, and Charleston
has dropped out, but the Catholic Library
Association teams of Savannah and Nu-
gusta have arranged a series of eight
games, to be played for the championship
of the two cities.
The following is the schedule: Augusta

July 20 Savannah al Augusta June u,

Charleston did not enter the league, as
it was unable to obtain grounds to play
on at a figure which the club thought
was reasonable.
While both Savannah and Augusta re-
greet that Charleston will not be in ihe
league, they think the Augusta Savannah
series will be as big a success as the Tri-
club League was last year.
The members OF the library team were
measured for uniforms last night. The
new uniforms will be very handsome.

trimmings.

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer Houzeau, deceased, was an
article In which, while arguing in ia
yor of decimal division of time, he
pointed out tho origin Of the double set
Of 10 hours represented ON our watch
and clock faces The ancient inhabitants
OF Mesopotamia chose tho number ~ M
an arithmetical base because IL has
four divisors--viz, .. ., A and 0,
while 10 has only two divisors--yiz,
. and 8. They counted IL hours In
the day and IL In the night, measuring
the day by the progress Of the sun and
the night by the progress Of the stars
across the sky. This system. prevailing
over all others, has come down TO us,
and so our watches bear on their faces
a souvenir Of those ancient days when
the sun served for a clock hand half Of
tho time and the stars the other half. -

A well known Portland man, who is
the owner of fine young horse, has q
pet hobby, and that Is telling horses
age with the aid Of long hair from the
animals tail. gold ring and glass Of
water.
His idea Lis to take tho ring, place 1t
In the center OF tho hair, and, holding
both ends, put the ring In @ glass. He
claims that the ring thus suspended will
strike against the glass, giving the COR
rect age Of the horse. To prove this as
sertion he invited veterinary surgeon
and several friends one day the past
week to see the trick done. The doctor
was to examine the horse and tell II the
test was correct.
The young man pulled a long hair
from the animals tail, put IL through a
ring and gave 1t to friend to hold In
the glass Of water. AT first IL did not
seem to work. and there was a look Of
anxiety ON the young mans face, but In
a few seconds there was click, and the
ring began to strike against the glass so
fast that IL was hard TO keep count. The
man who was holding the hair asserted
that the ring tapped 80 times, tho cor
rect age Of the, horse, but the doctor
claimed that there must DO some mis-
take, either in the test or the horse,
for the animal had every appearance Of
being only 9 few years old, and . good
horse at that. -Kenncbcc Journal

Philadelphia, May 24.-Today's ses-
sion of the legislative committee inves-
tigating the management of the state
penitentiaries was sensational. Sena-
tor Gagerdorn, of Philadelphia, was
the star witness. He said the official
reports of the prison were filled with
talsehoods, and that he could prove
that the treatment of many conyicts
had been brutal and cruel. He said
the Institution reported there were 10
insane patients in November last, and
that investigation made by him showed
there were 90 at the time. Of these.
he said nine are now in insane asylums
and one is dead as the result of cruel
treatment at the prison. Thirty-six of
the insane convicts, he said, are still
IN cells in the prison. He instanced
the case OF McCue, n prisoner whom he
had ordered sent from the prison 10
the Northtown state insane asvlum.
and who died the next day, as alleged
by the judge, from beating he re-
ceived the night before his removal.
lie told of another insane convict. a
colored man named Prentice, who for
eight months had been tied to the
steam pipes every night.

INVESTIGATING THE RUIZ CASE


New York. May 24-A Herald dis
patch from Havana via Key West says:
The joint investigation of the Ruiz
case does not get along very well, and
there is some danger that the United
States representative will fad himself
forced to withdraw because of delay
and the tendency to politely ask and
insist on undesirable conditions.
News comes that Ferra, who figured
in General Lees report of the Ruiz
case, and who was in Jail with the un-
fortunate American in GuanabacOa at
the time of Ruiz death, has been re-
arrested quietly, probably as a warning
to him and others that while Spain
consents politely to free American
investigation, she has her own ideas
about the duty OF her subjects in a case
of this kind. Ferra asserts that he is
an American citizen, but not regis
tered.
1t is said also that since Mr.. Cal
houn's arrival and just before General
Lee began his investigation word had
been passed down the line that all per-
sons who talked over much about foul
play will hear from it later, no matter
how prodigal the American government
may be with promises of protection at
any cost.
General Weyler is expected here
soon, and he has sent ahead of him a
long interview to the local press in
which he makes the statement that the
Cubans are worthy and intelligent
people, and that as four western prov
inces are wholly pacifed, the time to
put the reforms in operation has come.
