Patsy, is playing a star game at first
base for the Columbus CO., team. sd.

Tim Murnane says that at the pres
ent pitching distance no pitcher can
be at his best who works more than
two games week.
Fred Tenney, the ex-collegian who
guards first base for the Beaneaters, is
a regular contributor of baseball arti-
cles to eastern magazines.
Chris Won der Abe says he'll buy
every one of his players a new suit of
clothes if they get out of last place,

word that they won't be hand-me-
downs, either. . p .If,. f.. ..
Mark Baldwin, the old ex-league
twirler, is now pitching for the Car
negie A. C. team of Pittsburgh. 1t is
said that the once famous twirler still
retains much of his speed and ability to
fool the best of the batters.
This year has been marked by the
success of many of the young twirlers
in the league. Lewis, Corbett, Powell,
Callahan and Dunn have all done re-
markably well, and their good work
has done much to knock out the theory
that club must have seasoned twirlers
in order to be successful.

tied at the left side of the crown in
flat bow with ends.
The standing military collar is the

In two collins dated 1880, recently dug
up in the foundations of an old monas-
terry in the Rue de Bearn in Paris, the
skulls were found to be filled with white
crystals of bicalcinate of phosphorus,

stances when a coffin was opened in

Queen Victoria's eldest great-grand-
child, the Pail Mall Gazette states, is to
be betrothed soon to Prince Rupert of
Bavaria. The princess is 10 years of age

eldest sister. Apart from the difference
in religion there are difficulties in the
way of the match. ....

Receipt for Making Perfect Ton.

Here is the Japanese receipt for
making perfect tea, issued by the
Government OF Japan: First use a
small, dry and thoroughly sweet tea
pot. Second, put in one teaspoonful
Of tea leaves for each cup of tea de-
sired. Third, when using the finer
grades Of teas, costing at retail in the
United States and Canada 81 pound
and upward, pour in the required
quantity Of fresh boiling water of not
quito boiling temperature and let it
stand with closed lid from three to
five minutes before using. This will
insure as perfect tea as can be made
from the tea leaves. Always keep the
tea leaves from moisture to retain the
natural flavor. In preparing tea
never boil the leaves.

SILVER IN CIRCULATION.

The money in circulation in the
United States last month was $751;
100000 more than the month prior.
The increase is made up Of 5000, 900
in gold coin. 81, 100000 in silver dol
lars. S2,OOO,0O0 in subsidiary silver,
S6.750.OOO in silver certificates $780,
Ot'0 in treasury notes; a total Of $685.
100000. From these figures must be
deducted 100000, decrease in green
backs, and $lO,4OO.O00 decrease in
currency certificates; total of 3d.
100000. 1t will be observed that
the increase in circulation is entirely
due to greater demand for silver
dollars, silver certificates and treas
ury notes, which are also silver rep
resentatives. Although silver may
drop out of sight and although the
certificates are not redeemahle in
gold, and are simply backed by the
fiat Of the United States and silver
In the treasury to the extent of about
40 per cent of their face value, yet
there ID an increasing demand for
the silver dollar. Though discredit-
ed and legislated again It by the gold
power of the country, silver, and it's
paper representatives, continue to
be the money Of the people.
OF the $4,000 900 increased circu-
latlon, S20,0OOOO0 was in silver dol
lars, subsidiary silver, silver certifi-
Gates and treasury notes. Had this
increase been quadrupled by free
coinage the country would still have
been in need OF a greater circulating
medium. Our population is 73,000,-
OtO. To increase the medium of OK.
change 81 per capita, requires $751;
100000. If on Christmas eve Of each
year "dear old Santa Claus" should
drop a brand new, big silver dollar
into each of the stockings that hang
in the chimney corners Of the homes
OF America, more silver would be put
into circulation than liz mined in the
United States and more dollars could
be sent adrift on their missions of
good doing than could be coined by
the mints Of the United States under
free coinage. And yet there are peo-
pie who profess to be afraid Of free
coinage and who fear a SO cent dol
lar.
Did you ever stop to think what
happiness would accompany the
placing Of new silver dollar in the
hands Of the needy at the beginning
of the winter season, when the trees
are losing their foliage and the cold
north winds tell of short days and
dreary nights that are in store for
millions of American citizens, their
wives and their babies? Well, free
coinage might do that very thing in
each and every year. And that none
would refuse the dollar Of the consti-
tuition is demonstrated by the de-
mand there is today, under most ad-
verse conditions, for that same dollar.

WHAT iRisHMEN DID,
Thomas Hamilton Murray Addresses .
Large Meeting in I. A. r.. Hall

Every seat in I. A. r. A. hall. Con-
gress street was filled yesterday afternoon
at $50 o'clock when Mr.. Thomas Hamil-
ton Murray, editor of The Sun, Lawrence
Mass, addressed the assembly in his
| capacity as secretary general on the plans
and purposes of the American Irish
Historical Society. The speaker was
gracefully introduced by Mr.. James Cum
bingham, vice president of the society for
Maine, and in an easy conversational
manner explained the scope Of this new
association, which was formed in January
last at the Revere House, Boston. He
read the list of charter m embers which
comprises college professors, prominent
statesmen, distinguished professional
men and many others who have gained
prominence in the business world and the
various walks of life. These men repre-
sent all religious denominations and
political affiliations, and are bound to-
gether by the common tie of Irish an
cestry. Every chapter in American
history said Mr.. Murray, has been
well written save and except the Irish
chapter. There is the English chapter,
the French chapter, the Colonial chapter
and the Knickerbocker chapter. Whether
the Irish chapter has been left unwritten
through ignorance or design is now of little
moment. The object of this society is to
search the archives and accord due credit
to those of Irish birth or Irish descent
who have played important parts in the
history of this country. To accomplish
this there will be meetings of the associa-
ton at stated times at which carefully
prepared papers will be read and dis
tributed.''
For the present the organization will be
OF national character, the headquarters
being in Boston, but in due time it is
proposed to form branches with local
officers in the various cities of the union.
At the close of the lecture, on motion
of Mr.. 7. P. MCGOWAN, rising vote of
thanks was extended the speaker.
Col. D. O'C. O'Donoghue, Charles Nc
earthly, Jr., and VIM. McAleey, being
called upon made some very interesting
remarks. Vice President Cunningham
also spoke at length and was listened to
with close attention.
At the close of the meeting a large
number was enrolled as members of the
parent organization.

Miss Morrell, the principal of the school
intends to have the school represented in

idea is to have two large barges suitably
decorated and filled with the scholars, all
in costume. She hopes that the people on
the island will lend their assistance to
the project SO that the school will make a
first class showing.
The people are looking anxiously for
that offal cart. 1t should have been in
service long ago. The sanitary committee
of the city government ought not delay
the matter another day. There is no need
of such delay.
