And the pitcher stands a-posin' with the

The umpire is a-squattin' and the catcher
stands fur back,
And the batter with the willow wants to

The captain stands a-waitin' for chance to

And the bets arc going even at ten dollars

We know that spring is with us and the fans

And the man who hits the other once too

And the ending of the innings makes the

Where Hotel Men Draw a Line.

Among annoyances to which hotels
are subjected is one which means ma
terial loss at busy times. This is when
a person telegraphs or writes for rooms
to be reserved, and upon arriving in
town decides to go to another hotel.
Very frequently rooms which could
have been given to guests are vacant
on account of this, and the careless
hotel patrons appear to be unaware
that they have inflicted any injury On
the house. Sometimes, however, when
n clerk calls upon them with a bill for
the rooms that they didn't occupy they
are open to conviction of wrong-doing
and settle the bill. The matter has
rarely been one of litigation, but the
hotel man has the best end of it, and
the proprietors' national association in
tends to make it SO understood when
ever it is necessary.-Hotel Gazette.

Spa1n's New Cuban Policy is Regarded
with Favor.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Developement
in Cuba within the next thirty days will
definitely determine President McKin-
ley's attitude on the Spanish question,
but he expects no trouble. The admin
istration looks with favor on Spain's
change of policy, and believes that the
ministry is sincere in It's endeavor to
bring about speedy termination of the
strife in Cuba by granting substantial
reforms.
While not fully advised as to Spain's
reply to Secretary Sherman's note, pre-
sented by Minister Woodford in Sep
tember, its general character is known
here, and it is not anticipated by the
president that any friction will arise
between the two countries as result of
the exchange of notes.
The prime object the president had in
view when General Woodford went to
Madrid was bringing about an improved
condition of affairs in Cuba before con-
gress reassem bled. Spain's policy and
her instructions to the new captain-g gen
eral of Cuba will show an advanced step
in that direction.
But the administration is more con-
cerned about the rapid change of policy
than it is about the character of SpaIn's
reply to Minister Woodford's represen-
tations. The government has no reason
to fear that Spain will take an aggress-
i've stand against the United States.
On the contrary, it is sure of a note
friendly and conciliatory in tone. The
president realizes, however, the danger
of further citation by congress and a
further disturbance of our interests if
something more substantial thans these
mere promises of Spain to grant gem
uine autonomy cannot be furnished
when the new session begins.
1t can hardly be expected that Gen
eral Blanco within month after his
arrival will be able to end the war, but
if it can be shown that an advance step
has been taken in that direction, Pres
ident Mckinley may, by forwarding the
conversation that has passed and calling
attention to an improved condition in
| Cuba, be able to pacify congress long
enough to allow Spain to become thor
oughly established in her new reforms.
Hence it appears that the wording
of the presidents forthcoming message
depends mainly upon the Immediate
effects of General Blanco's arrival in
Havana, the promulgation of an amnes-
| ty proclamation, of new autonomist re-
forms and the abandonment of the re-
concentrate policy.

Slow Progress in the Search
for Dead Bodies.
DEBRIS OF CARS ON ALL SIDES
No More Corpses Have Been Removed
TOday-Cause of the Wreck
Not Determined.

GARRISON, N. Y, Oct. 25.-The gray
dawn, "a hours after the frightful hap
pening of yesterday, broke upon scene
of greater litter and property destruc-
tion than yesterdays sun, and last
nights torchlight displayed weary gangs
of wreckers, who were relieved this
morning by fresh ones.
When the wreckers brought the tackle
on the sleeping car Glen Alpine to drag
her up, there was much excitement and
speculation, as it was believed there
must surely be some bodies in this car,
the most deeply submerged of the lot.
When the car had been placed on
scow and the water run out of it,
seaching party went through, and to
the surprise of the railroad officials, not
a body was discovered. Some curious
things were found, however which tends
to make the escape of the passengers
in this car almost miraculous. 1t is be-
lleved that all in this car escaped, and
as there were full score of handbags
and satchels in the car, there may have
been that number of passengers.
Colonel Cole, president of the state
railway commission, who is making an
investigation of the wreck, said that
while the bank may have given away,
it was possible that the driving rod of
the engine had broken and caused the
disaster.
If there are many more bodies in the
wreck they are believed to be in the day
coach, which lies in the water up to its
roof. Passengers who escaped from this
car, and the crew, say that at least II
persons perished in the day coach.
Roadmaster Otis. one of the most ex-
pert track builders in the country, told
an Associated Press representative that
the sinking of the roadhed was Que to
some almost unaccountable action of
the water on the bank. The sand and
gravel had been washed away, leaving a
crust under the track which collapsed
with the weight of the train.
