that Jack would be on deck when the gong

eleven games for the Orioles last year.
The club was doing but little hitting about
that time, so Amole's record OF games
won does not amount to much. He held
Cleveland down to hits I'm one game; chi
cago failed to score e run on him in IN
nings; Pittsburg got 3 hits I'm innings;
Philadelphia z hits in D innings; New York
8 hits in 5 innings, and Washington hits
in a complete game In these games he
gave very few bases on balls; SO that,
with his fielding ability and knack OF
watching bases, he may even now be
classed as a good pitcher. He had fast
field behind him in Baltimore. Of course,
but he will have nothing to complain OF on
this score in his new surroundings.-Heyd-

while 1t is not generally known, the name

When he arrived IN East Liverpool several
years ago he was a long. lean, lanky Vir-
ginian, and the boys with whom he asso-
ciated at once dubbed him 'Virginny' He
went by this name for several years, but
when he commenced playing ball with the
local Eclipse team the name was gradual
ly softened by the cranks until he became
known as Winnie and 'Virginny' was
dropped forever. The nickname remained
with him when he signed Dover en- HI

now known to the base ball public by no
other name than Winnie B. Mercer.

One More Case.

Last evening late DR.. Turner report
ed the city he lth officer Race that he
had patient who had smallpox.
DR.. Race OF once went with DR.. Tur-
ner to call on the sick man who turned
out to be w. W. Perry a lineman on
the G. Fl. railroad.
Perry had room in the old South
ern Pacific depot which is on Ksnaas
street near where the present depot Is.
AS soon as DR.. Race went to see Perry
he informed him that that he would
have to send him to the pest house.
Owing to the lateness of the hour he
could not send him last night, but
bright and early this morning the
man was put in q wagon and sent out
to the pest house. He had had the
disease but two days and as soon as the
breaking out commenced DR.. Turner
at once notified DIR. Race. The room
of the young man will be thoroughly
fumiPated today so that the neighbors
need have no fear.
DR.. Race asked him where he
thought that he caught the disease
and be answered that he was at a loss
to know, as he didn't remember of hav
ing come in contact with anyone with
it, but the suppositien is that in doing
his work up and down the road be
tween here and Sierra Blanca, he mus
have caught it from some Mexican.

SYMPTOMS of Smallpox.

A man giving his name as d. b..

ground near the G. Fl shops this morn
ing and appeared to be very sick. Dr.
Race was sent for and responded
promptly. An examination of the man
showed the symptoms to be those
of smallpox although the disease
had not yet appeared in the throat
where it usually shows up first. The
sick man was suffering with high
fever and asked to be taken some
place where he could rest, but
the doctor had nowhere to send him.
The case was not pronounced enough
to send the man to the pest house and
at the same time it was suspicious E.
nough to keep the man out of the hospi-

Disease Breeders.

SIT is great wonder to me-" said a
merchant this morning, that the
people of Ell Paso are not afflicted
with everything from the blues to the
leprosy. Down in the lower part of
town some of the Mexican
houses are built IN groups US
ing closets as center pieces,
and all the families use said center
piece as a sort of summer and winter
resort. First one man will build and
erect an excuse of a closet within 80
feet of his door, and then another will
build so he can conveniently use the
same closet, and so on until there are
dozen in the bunch all using the
same closet. This condition of affairs
should be stopped by city ordinance
prob biting the building of closets so
close to the residences where the sewer
is not used to carry the refuse away
While we are talking" continued the
N rrchant, sit might be well to state
that this condition of affairs is not
wholly confined to the Mexican settl =
ment, as regards the sickening condi-
ton of the closets. l took walk
out 10 the suburbs Sunday last and
found some of the closets in very,
very bad coudition. Taking all this
into consideration, I cannot wonder
that this place is grsdua ly becoming
the home of some dangerous diseases
The authorities should look into this
matter"

More Troops For Fl. Bliss

AS the matter was revived yesterday
In the HERALD for the securing OF
more troops 10 be stationed in Ell Paso,
during the winter a reporter Of the
paper has received a good many sug-
gestions as to how to finish the good
work.
Among those whose names were Of
fered as proper parties to make the
trip to Washington was that oil
Judge j. F. Crosby. The judge Is well
and favorably known by all the army
Ulcers who have been stationed at
Fort Bliss and who know the place az
the heslthiest for the station of troops
in the country. Their influence would
have favorable bearing at the war
department., and could be secured by
the judge.
Consul Kendrick of Juarez was also
recommended to make the trip as be-
ing a man we'll versed in the way OF
getting at such matters. The name OF
Collector Dillon was proposed as man
well acquainted In the capital city and
we'll able to secure this advantage to
Ell Paso.
A number of other citizens were
mentioned any OF which would make a
good representative to go to Washing
ton for this purpose and something
should be done before It is too
late.
Judge Crosby in talking of the mat
ter said: sit Is possible to give houses
to officers for eight or nine Thousand
troops, at the new fort and l believe IL
IL is not too late that the influence OF
all officers who have ever been sta
toned at this post could at once be
brought to the aid of Ell Psso to secure
for the q. s. the stationing of the
troops here.p
