A BUSY MANS BLUNDER.
1t Enabled the Plausible Man TO
Make Lots of Money.
How an Enterprising Genius from
Chicago Succeeded in DispOsing
of n Block of Flying Machine
stock ut Washington.

How the man of plausible manners
had gotten access to SO many
people with money to invest, says the
Washington Star, was one of the every
day mysteries of life. A good suit of
clothes and an unhesitating flow of elo-
quence were the only assets of which
his victims could recall any traces when
they came to compare notes, and these
he had taken with him. His way was
the breeziest of the west, and at the
same time, the punctilious courtesy Of
the south. III
Its the most remarkable discovery
of the century," he had told Mr..
Roundollar. Il have entire control of
it. AtfrstI pooh-poohed the idea just as
everybody does now when l talk about it.
Then sat down and thought of how in
credible the project to establish the
electric telegraph seemed. Then drift
ed into contemplation of the marvels
of the telephone, the photograph and
the X rays. l went and looked out of
the window, from which l could see
miles of wire devoted to the CONNER
cial utilization of ideas which had been
at first hailed as the dreams of insan-
ity. l fairly staggered as 1 felt the
force of each successive blow to my
skepticism, and then l said to myself:
Perhaps there is something in it after

His visitor smiled patiently, and pro-

money on any uncertainty, you know.

NO FOREIGNERS NEED APPLY.
Pittsburgh Judge Refuses to Grant
q Charter on Unusual Grounds.


Judge White has filed an opinion at
Pittsburgh, Pa, refusing a charter to
the Society Principesso Montenegro
Savoys of Pittsburgh. The court says:
"The name of the society and the names
of the subscribers to the application are
in an unknown language to me. The
articles and bylaws are printed in Eng
lish, but it does not follow that the sub
scribers could read and understand
them. Foreigners have no right to a
charter. NatUralized citizens may be
members of a corporation, [out corpo-
ration should never be under the control
Of foreigners. When the state author
ICES the charter of a corporation the
presumption is that its business will be
conducted in the language of the state
and according to the principles and
usages of this country. That cannot be
done if the members cannot speak or
write the English language"

It's invariably the same story. You

you can get it far enough under way to

"Yes, If you can convince me of it."

How 10 Overcome the Tendency ,

How to Overcome the Tendency ol
Hogs to Disease.
The Swine Breeders Journal, in dis
cussing the tendency Of hogs to disease
says that there are three things that ths
experience Of the past two years ha.
emphatically impressed upon the swine
man: ~ The absolute necessity oi
caution In changing from one diet tn
another; (2) the absolute necessity ot
using nothing but the purest water a,
drinking water for the swine; and (3)
the absolute necessity Of protecting
swine from the injurious effects OF dust
The first necessity has been generally
recognized, If not acted upon, by the
progressive swine breeder for some
time. The second necessity the ravage,
OF the late plague have brought home
70 the minds Of breeders in way ths i
will not soon be forgotten. But the
third necessity is not 50 generally recog
nized as the other two, and yet it Is as
requisite q condition OF good health as
either OF the others. Swine should NO,
BE- allowed to wallow in dusty pens.
fence corners or straw stacks. When
ever they sneeze it should be taken ns
evidence that something is wrong. III
swine breeding, clean sleeping places
are an indisputable necessity.

Recommendations Submitted by the
Committee to President Young,

Washington, Feb, THE following
recommendations of the committee to
prepare new playing rules for the Ma
tional League and American Associa-
tion of professional base ball clubs has
been given out for publications:
n, f. Young, President the National
League and American Association of
Professional Base Ball Clubs:
Dear Strive, the committee ap-
pointed to recommend changes in tile
code of playing rules of the National
base ball clubs, beg to report as fol-
lows:
We commend no change in rules 1 to
13 inclusive, which are those governing
the laying off of a ball ground, but
suggest the Incorporation in the rules
of a foot note calling attention to an
addenda to the playing rules, in which
will be found direction for "A simple
way of laying off a ball field"
In section of rule IA regarding the
bail, we suggest ,he addition of the
Words In the event of a new ball
being Intentionally discolored or other
wise injured by a player, the umpire
shall upon appeal from the captain of
the opposite side forthwith demand the
return of that ball and shall substitute
another new bah and impose fine of
So upon the offending player"
This addition is made so that the UNI
pire may more easily enforce the re-
quirements of the rule.
We recommend the addition to rule
20, which relates to players benches,
a new section which is as follows:
Section 2. To enforce this rule, the
captain of the opposite side may call
the attention Of the umpire to a viola
tion, whereupon the umpire shall inn
