Pleas for Clean Ball Provisions
of the Anti-ilowdy Measure.

St. Louis, March by their action this
proved that they are sincere in their de-
sire TO purify professional baseball.
The magnates have by unanimous vote
put into effect a new law that if enforced
will deal with rowdies who use imprint
able language in such summary fashion
that the evil will be killed possibly with
out there being a conviction.
The measure that has been adopted has
all along been known as the Brush
black list rule" When it was originally
suggested, the impression prevailed that
ii would be so radical that the public
would not stand for it. But after Brush
got through explaining the case today
there was a change of feeling. He was
backed up in his argument by Hart, of
Chicago, and Soden, of Boston, who com
posed the committee which drew up the
resolution.
When they got the sanction of the
League last night to allow newspaper re
porters to be present when the matter
should come up, they made one Of the
cleyerest moves that has been recorded
in League procedure.
When the doors of the assembly rooms
were opened AT o'clock this afternoon
there were nearly two dozen newspaper
men on hand
After n committee report on resolutions
upon the death of Mr.. Byrne had been
read, John Brush took the floor and amid
silence that showed how anxious every
body was to hear what the noted mag
nate had to say began a remarkable ar
gument in favor Of clean ball.
Mr.. Brush rehearsed the history of
previous legislation against the evil and
then began to read 4 series of commune
cations from umpires and other officials
forcibly showing the present need for re-
form. He closed by relating what his
committee had done, and wound up by
reading his proposed measure.
The Brush measure provides in part as

am satisfied they will do we'll. The
lands which l have seen are far supe-
rior in every respect and beyond MY
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu-
rlerable kinds OF water fowl. while fish
are very abundant. On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.

horses and f1ocks of sheep. l have
Travelled over a great portion of the
Western states and l have seen nothing
to compare with this country. One
hundred and sixty acres of land are
given free to actual settlers, and l saw
cases where as high as $40 per acre had

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitution " remedies. Deafness
is caused by an irflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. deafness
Is the result. and unless the inf1amma-
ton a be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, nearing
will be destroyed forever; nlnc cases out
of ton are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF the

ADVICE TO MINISTERS.
Given by a Minister.
Preachers who practise it will
preach better.

No class Of people is so liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from a heated building TO
the cool air when the vocal organs are IN
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "Clcrgy 1nen's sore throat"
is known as a special disease. The Rev.
f.. NJ. Brawley, d. D., District Secretary of
the American Baptist Publication Society,
writes from Petersburg, Va, the account
of an experience of his own which is prof.

chial or other throat troubles. The sub
