more Next Year.

Baltimore, Nov. 10.-Joe Corbett will, in
all probability, pitch for the Baltimore
club next season. Manager Hanlon is
willing TO make peace with the recalci-
trant twirler and in order that there may
be no hard feelings on Joe's part he will
name pretty nice salary figure in the
contract for 1899. which will soon be sent
him. The rumors that Corbett would
likely figure in deal at the coming
league meeting are all dreams" He
will play in Baltimore or not at all.
1t was an open secret last year that
Brother Jim was responsible for the
attitude assumed by Joe when the season
opened. Intimations have been lately re-
ceived that there is desire for peace
and Mr. Hanlon is determined to meet
the prodigal more than half way.
Mr.. Hanlon sincerely trusts that some
thing will turn up to strengthen New
York. Philadelphia, Brooklyn and St.
Louis.

Made Defendant

to Cardinal Satolli, while he was Papal
representative in Washington, and SUBJ
sequently employed by Miss Clara Bar
ton, of the Red Cross Society has OBJ

the New York Supreme Court, to serve
summons by publication, in an action
for absolute divorce, on George H. Pull
man, financial secretary of the Red Cross,
who, she claims. is now a resident of
Washington. This action is the result of
a long series of difficulties in which the
two have figured publicly and otherwise.
Mrs. Pullman alleges in her petition
that since last January Pullman has
maintained improper relations with Clara
Elliott, with whom she claims he is now
residing. About two months ago Mrs.
duce Pullman to live with her. She met
him in Fifteenth Street, opposite the
Treasury Department one evening" in
company with the Elliott woman, and
tried to drag him with her.
She had him by one arm and the other
in opposite directions, and the struggle
kept up until policeman interfered and
took all three to the First Precinct police
station. There was no charge against
them, however, and they were released.
Subsequently Mrs. Pullman lived in q
clearinghouse in Indiana Avenue, but
her efforts to make her husband return
to her were futile. Finally, acting on the
advice of friends. she went back to New
York and instituted the proceedings fol
absolute divorce.

WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY.

WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY.
The INTELLIGENCER notes with pride
that the movement to raise funds TO
enlarge Wentworth Military Academy
is meeting with splendid success.
While such 4 movement should have
been Inaugurated sooner, 1t is not yet
too late to make of this academy the
peer of any preparatory school in the
land. It, today. stands as the most
successfully managed institution Of its
kind in the great west, and if it is
properly supported it will become the
connecting link between the public
schools and the great universities.
Let it be borne in mind that all the
universities and colleges are deserving
the field OF preparatory work. The
universities are raising the standard of
graduation, and consequently are rails
ing the standard of admission. Between
the public school and the university
or college, the work must be done
in either 4 high school or an acad-
envy. High schools of the required
grade can be supported only IN the
larger commercial centers. Parents,
with boys to educate, who do not live
in these centers, must look in some
direction for n place to prepare these
boys for the university.
The INTELLIaENCER Is led to believe
that the conditions in educational cir
Giles are such that, somewhere in the
great western country, there is going
to be a famous preparatory school, and
1t sees no reason why that great and
important place should moi be filled by
our own Wentworth Academy.
Believing thus, we consider the effort
to enlarge this school one of the best
BUSINESS propositions ever presented TO
our people.
1t is a we'll known fact that a number
of young men were unable to get in
the academy, both this year and last,
because of lack of room. It "a be
readily understood hat Lexington can
not afford to see these boys turned
away. Livery one that comes, spends
NO less than s4o0 per year here. This
money goes directly into the pockets OF
Lexington business men.
If the academy were enlarged, the
attendance would be greatly increased
and Lexington would get the worth of
her money in one collegiate year.
The INrELLIGENcER insists that We
cannot afford to miss the opportunity
now at hand to build here the greatest
academy of the country. Fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars now would
suffice, and no better investment could
Ue made by our citizens. Perhaps if
Lexington would come to the front
with a handsome amount, some public
b%enefactor, recognizing the great and
useful field, would be encouraged TO
lend 8 helping hand.
The academy is at a standstIll. 1t
has gone as far as it can without more
buildings. Boys are being turned away
VIII Lexington permit this condition
to continue We think not. Surely
she will grasp the golden opportunity
The 1NTELLIGENCER, the friend OF
all the schools, declares It as its opin-
ION that Lexington will rally to the
rescue.
