She gave Mllton's description OF the typical poll
tician OF his day as applying in many respects to
the modern politician, whom she contrasted with
the true statesman.
or tho Ideal statesman she gave several illustr,
Gus examples beginning with Moses the most per-
feet example OF dsinterestedness known;
Washington. whose character was marked by In
tegrity. frmness and amiability: Lincoln. called
the ablest strategist OF the last war;" tender
hearted. just, generous. tolerant OF evil, end
who ironically characterized craftsmanship as being
the employment OF individual meanness for the
public good"
Evil can stand discussion" said Mrs Stacey,

and understood in It's true light. Bad rules should

caution. conservatism. and. above all. clean hands
and pure heart. which suggests the motto "To
thine own self be true and thou canst not be false
TO any man"
After the reading Of the paper a short discussion
followed on the subject of criminal labor. Mrs.
Stacey explained that the subject had been dis

months awaiting his trial and when finally brought

She spoke Of the objections offered Of interfcr-
ence with the work of the laborng man. but added
that there arc many kinds of labor to which this
would not apply. The work OF the public roads.

Pitcher Becker, who has done remarkably
good work for Montreal this year, was
sold Yesterday to the Philadelphia Ma
tional League team for a good-szed re-

pitchers in the minor leagues. He will re-
port September 1.
Boston has not had the assistance of the
gentlemen who handle The indicator, as
have the CHAMPIONS. From Baltimore come
panying the visiting clubs that the cham
pions have the umpires hypnotized to that
extent that they see everything from a
Baltimore standpoint.
President Kerr Of the Pittsburg club AMI
Pitchers Hawley and Killen had an inter-
view yesterday. and, as both the suspended
pitchers predicted. they have been returned
to duty Immediately President Kerr says:
Il have decided to give the men another
chance. They say they are in condition,
and that they want to demonstrate it:

good ball." The question of getting salary
Tor the weeks idleness rests with the men,
Good work may secure it for them.
While the Cincinnatfs visit to Baltimore
has been dismal failure artistically 1t
has been one of the best financially the
team has had in a number of years. The
Reds drew big crowds this time. The bit
ter feeling between the members Of the
teams Is partly responsible for this, and
the, fact, that the city is overrun with
strangers. brought there by the business
mems excursions to country merchants,
has also helped swell the receipts.
Billy Earle. the little globe trotter, is in
the city. He came in this afternoon. He
told number of the Cincinnati players
that he came east to get on the National
League staff of umpires. The reason he did
not stop in Washington, but came on to
Baltimore, he said. was because he heard
that Uncle Nick was in this city. He is
going to make personal call on President
Young tomorrow and urge him to put him
on his staff.-Baltimore American.
