HIS REQUEST DENIED.
Sculptor Smith Wanted the Trensurx
Photograph Gallery Removed

The Secretary OF the Treasury has denied
the request of MIR. Carl Roll Smith the
Chicago sculptor. who has the contract for
the construction and erection of an eques-
trian statue. for the removal of the photo
graph gallery just south of the Treasury
Department, in order that he might place
a model of the statue there. so as to study
the effect of the surroundings. This build
ing occupies the site selected for the statue
and will have to be removed eventually.
IL is row in constant use by the superv:s-
ing architect of the treasury for work in
connection with the construction of public
buildings In all parts of the country. 1t
has been found impracticahle to have this
work done elsewhere and the building IS so
old and dilapidated that IL cannot be moved
to another location. The Secretary has,
therefore, decided to continue it's use in is
present location until 1t becomes necessary
to tear IL down to make room for the statue
OF the hero OF the march to the sea"
The statue will hardly be ready for erection
before next summer.

CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT


Winnie" Mercer proved an easy problem
for the Chicago club yesterday at Chi
cago ard the Senators went down before the
enemy very easy by the score of 16 to T..
On top of the continuous hitting Of Anson' $
men, the players back Of Mercer had a
day off, and but three escaped the error
column-Brown. Setback and Farrell.
The day was red hot enc in the Windy
city, and but 1900 spectators turned out to
witness the game, small crowd for that
city. The Colts have been playing even
worse than the Senators. reputation con-
sidered. ard this no doubt accounts for
the small crowd
For the first five innings the Wagnerites
didn't get man over the home plate, but
managed to score in every inning there
after. Farrell and Mcclure had gone out
in the sixth when Reilly got a base on
balls. Abbey then hit to Callahan, who
was playing second in place of Conner, who
is sick, and he fumbled it and allowed the
ball to go into center. Reilly kept on to
third and home. beating out pretty throw
to the plate by LANCE
In the seventh after O'Brien had gone
out. third to first. German hit in the same
direction and Everitt fumbled. Then Wrig
ley, who had replaced Brown in center
third and home on Selbach's hit toward
third, Wrigley going to third on the latter s
out. DeMont then drove hot one toward
third and Everitt again fumbled, Wrigley
scoring.
Two more runs came home in the eighth.
McGuire got his base on balls and came all
the way home on Reilly's two-bagger to left.
Reilly went to third on Abbey's out, sec
ond to third. and came home on OBrien's
out. short to first.
In their last try at the bat the Senators
secured their last two runs, a pretty dou-
BILE play by Mccormick, Callahan and An
son stopping short the batting rally. Wrig
ley again connected with the ball safely.

lowed with another safe che in the same
direction and both moved up a base when
DeMont went out. pitcher to first. Then
base, scoring Wrigley and Setback. Nc
CURE then hit to short anc the double play
followed.
The story of how Chicago secured her
sixteen runs is monotonous one and can be
told in a few words. Hit followed hit and
error followed error, six runs coming in
over the plate in the third inning and seven
in the sixth. In the latter inning Ger
man relieved Mercer and the first ball the
former pitched was laced to left for two
bases, sending in three runs.
Clark Griffith pitched fer the Chicagos
and after the game was safely slowed away
for his club he let up In his delivery, al
lowing the Senators five hits in the last
three inn:rgS.

MAJOR TYLER REMOVED.
Chief of the Division, Including TN
Mail Bag Repair Shop.

Major r. d. S. Tyler, chief Of the NAL
and equipment division bureau of the
Post Office Department, has been re-
lieved from duty, and Thomas p. Graham
of the railway mail service at Washington
has been detailed temporarily to succeed
him. The action is the outcome OF the
scandals which have centered about the
mail bag repair shop or less for
years, and is the direct result of the in
vestigation which Second Assistant Post

made in that office.
Speaking of his retirement from the ser
vice Major Tyler said:

asked him if the department held anything
against me on account of my conduct of

Nothing so interferes with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause Of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty -four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition Of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out Of order.
It is a source of comfort to know that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. It relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful ur~ination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents

Minneapolis, Nov. 18,-Congressman
M. II. Johnson, of North Dakota, In
an interview, declared that the sealing

that the destruction of the seal herds

The seal agitation, he believes, is be-

are in a ring. The Paris tribunal cost
this country nearly a quarter of a mil
lion dollars. In all we have spent
