CHAMPIONSHIP GAIT.
Even with "a Crippled Team the HOos-
iers Keep 1t UD.

The last week has been one of almost
continuous satisfaction to the numerous
people who want Indianapolis to take an
other pennant. Although still short the
services of two of their best players Wat
kinss men lost but one game Six victories
in one week while the team is in a crippled
condition should satisfy everybody that
with its full strength Indianapolis is capa-
bic of putting up a strong bid for the flag.
The outlook as regards Mccarthy getting
back into the game is discouraging. It is
too bad that the club should not have the
benefit of his hitting now while there is a
fine prospect of passing st. Paul and lead
ing the procession. Flynn fills his place
admirably in the field, but it would be
difficult to find reliable a hitter as Me-
earthly especially with men on bases. For
that reason Indianapolis misses him.

washington Post

The policy of the Postof1ce Department
as to the appointment of minors in the
postofices has been definitely fixed and
they will be debarred from chief clerkships
and deputy postmasterships. except few
of the third-class offices, where circum-
sances urge their peculiar 1tness. Even
then they win not be allowed to become
acting postmasters, on account Of the
legal declaration that contracts made by
minors are void. This effectually bars
them from even temporary service so far
as the assumption of the real responsible
tiles of postmaster is concerned.

as chief clerk and deputy postmaster An
inquiry from the postmaster has deduced
the statement that 1t is inadvisable for
a town the size Of Madison, having about
twelve thousand population, to take such
action. The department regards it as
against public policy and the interests of
the service to appoint minors. though ex-
cept as to acting duties of misunderstanding
no legal inhibition on minors generally is
cited 1t was only short time ago that a
name was submitted for postmaster at Ok

was only twenty years ole, and the name
was withdrawn from consideration.

The MutabIe Many.

The labor question does not seem to offer
a very inviting field for novel writer's, yet
it has figured in not few stories. 1t Is
the main theme in THE Mutable Many by
Robert Barr. The dramatis personae are
the usual personages in such a drama-em-
ployers, common workmen, pickets and
walking delegates. The chief characters
are an iron-willed factory manager, who de
fies the union, with the result that his
Workmen go on strike, and a clever young
workman, who rises to the position of sec
rotary of the union, and who ends by mar
rying the iron-willed managers daughter.
These characters are very cleverly drawn
as are the others-notably Braunt the
