The philadelphia Magnates Willing
- .Er' to Sell Their Club.

The philadelphia MnGnates Willing
to Sefl Their Club.
The Philadelphia Press says: Messrs.
Reach end Rogers, owners Of the Philadel-
phia base ball club yesterday gave out a
statefnente in reply to q communication
printed In a local paper. IN which the mis-
cradle work of the Philliesr was attributed
to the '.penurious and gFab-alr' policy of
the owners of the club.
These charges are refuted in a lengthy
letter, which deals with the history of base
ball In Philadelphia sincesthe organization
OF the National League. The only thing
In this communication of any great inter-
est to the base ball public Is the statement
that the franchise can be bought, it being
generally believed that Reach and Rogers
would not sell fer any consideration. In
reference to this they say: True, we have
a valuable franchise for which Mr.. Davis
asserts most positively We refused S300,OoO
cash within the last ninety days. Permit
US also to nafl this lie to the counter. We
Rave never en-heard of such an offer for
cur frapchise. In fact no one. has ever
made us any offer since the brotherhood
war. We have been often asked If the
franchise was for sale and have replied:
No" unless responsible buyer would ap-
pear, when we might fix price,
"Wes have been giving the best part of
our lives, eneray. knowledge and experience
to the task in the vain. hope of immense
profits following notwithstanding COM
btnation. and hoping that eur turn would
come with each recurring year and would
therefore naturally decline to hawk our
club around for sale and thus cheopon its
value Since:.'you nhNe, however, adyer-
tised Mr.. Davis. soffSr of $3o0000, kindly

franchise now.-w when we ire in the slough

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETowN.
Mrs. Southworth's Friends Indignant
Services at the Churches.

The friends of Mrs. r. ID. +. n. South
worth. the well-known novelist OF this city,
are highly indignant over the action of the
librarian OF Enoch Pratt Library, In Bal
timore. VINO caused her works to be with
drawn from the library on the grounds that
the reading was harmful. II not immoral.
In connection with this. ttse same librarian
withdrew the works of three other authors
from the library on the same grounds. The
action seems to be unusually arbitrary. In
view of the fact that the now venerable
authoress has received scores of letters
praising her works, coming from people In
all classes of life.
Rev. DIR. II. Branch will occupy the pulpit

byterian Church, and also conduct the

TO RELEASE CONTRACT CONvICrs.
Sensation Caused ut Atlanta by Col
Byrd's Report.

Sensation Caused ut Atlanta by Col,
Byrd's Report.
A special to the New York Herald from
Atlanta, Ga, says:
The sensation caused by the publication
of Col Byrds report showing the awful
condition of the misdemeancr convicts
leased by the county authorities to private
individuals has been succeeded by another
sensation. 1t has been discovered that
every convict SO leased has merely to ap-
peal to the courts to be promptly released.
owing to the fact that his Incarceration
under such circumstances is as much in
disobedience to the law as was the offense
which led to his conviction.
1t is doubtful IL the people will wait long
before some action is taken, showing the
pressing need for immediate reform i'm this
direction. Without a single exception, the
attorneys of Atlanta yesterday said on ha-
beas corpus proceedings they could release
every misdemeanor convict from confine-
ment in private camps. and that no con-
tract between the counties and lessees was
worth the paper it was written on.
The supreme court of the state has de-
cided exactly this and in two cases has
declared so positively and unequivocally
against the legality of leasing mislemeanor
convicts to private individuals that there
is no room for doubt as to the legal aspect
OF the case.

OF the treaties Of the United States. This
leaves congress free to deal with such especial
regulation OF the contract labor system of the
Islands as circumstances may require. There
being no general provision Of existing statutes
to prescribe the form of government for newly
Incorporated territory, it was necessary to stip-
uiate, as in the dominican precedent, for con-
tlnuing the existing machinery OF the govern
ment and laws in the Hawaiian islands until
provisions shall be made by law for the govern
ment, as territory OF the United States. OF the

having in view the peculiar status created in
Hawaii by laws enacted in execution OF treaties
heretofore concluded between Hawaii and other
countries, only such Hawaiian laws are thus
Professionally continued as shall not be incom-
pstible with the constitution or the laws of the
United States, or with the provisions OF this
treaty.
1t will be noticed that express stipulation is
made prohibiting the coming Of Chinese labor
ers from Hawaiian islands to any other part OF
our national territory. This provision was
proper and necessary, in view Of the Chinese
exclusion acts, and it behooved the negotiators
TO see to it that this treaty. which lin turn is to

WATCH YOUR CALVES.
Feed Them We'll to btnin Satisfae-
tory Results Quickly.


The calls foo is golden now. Calves
which went begging for buyerS a few
years ago are low worth ten dollars
almost as soon as they are dropped.
There is 4 great shortage of feeding
steers ali over the cor and grass states.
This shortage is temporarily supplied
by the enormous importations from
every point in the country. 1t is, how
ever, only u shifting Of cattle from n
point to another, and there is no addi-
ton made to the cattle stock by such a
movement, except to the extent that
they come from Canada, and even this
is no real addition. for the Il that
the beef from these cattle is supplied
ia the United States instead of Canada,
and has no effect whatever on the beef
markets of the world. Any increase
of cattle stock must come through the
growing of calves, and the farmer has
a dead sure market at a profitable price
for his calves for 4 year or two to come.
Hence, the calf should be watched not
for the sake of watching and thinking
of the pleasing prospect of a good price,
but for the purpose of securing as much
thrifty growth and as good a form as
possible, for the better the form the
higher the price per pound it will bring,
and the larger the calf the greater mum
Der of pounds there is to sell at a price
fixed by the quality. How to feed that
calf to produce the best results is one
of the important questions just now
Here, as in everything else, it pays tC
take lessons from nature. Dame Ma.
ture feeds the calf often, feeds the milk
sweet and feeds it warm. The calf that
has a bellyful of cold milk in the morn
ing and another at night, with no drink
during the day, and is exposed to the
hot sun, will not bring a big price.
Nature feeds the calf a balanced I'll.
ton. If it is fed skim-milk that ration
is unbalanced by the withdrawal of the
butter fat, and this must be supplied in
One way. The cheapest substitute fol
the first few weeks is n jelly made by
boiling oil meal. After the first three
or four weeks Oat meal should be sub
stituted gradually, and corn meal as
gradually substituted, in part at least
for the oats. Corn at II cents per bush.
ei, and oats at the same price, will
furnish the proper balance at Il much
lower rate than butter fat. There are !
thousand little things in connection
with calf growing that can be Learned
only by experience, but the man who
observes, thinks, reads and practices
will very soon catch on and become an
expert. There is a very solid bottom
under this business now, and the farm
er that has a strain of native cattle com.
bining milk and beef forms is the man
who can fill the demand to the best ad.
