DIAMOND DUST.

lhere VIII never be any fixed uniformity in
scoring games. No rules that can be made will
ever accomplish this Scorers see plavs differ
emily, and also differ in their construction of
the rules governing scoring. Their Judgment of
plays Is too often controlled by personal prejudice
or feeling, and in cases involving a question
OF doubt they inevitably give their own clubs
the benefit of It. 1t is impossible for scorer,
who are not perfectly familiar with all the fine
points OF play-and their number is legion-to
properly or intelligently score the game.
The veteran Dug Allison believes that the
club which practices and masters midfieId hit
tlng-that is. hit the ball over the heads OF
the lnielders and short of the outtielders-will
win large per cent of their games. This system
OF play would break up outfeld as they
would not know-as they do now-just about
where certain batter will hit the ball. In case
an outhelder came in to take a midfeld hit he
advises swinging hard at the bail and knocking
it to the outfeld. This style of batting would
keep the outfield guessing, and he thinks it
would be more easily acquired than bunting 1t
seems feasible
.A!propos of the great work done by the veteran
pitcher Weyhing, of Louisville, now with the
Senators, in the box this season, it is interest
ing 10 note few remarks made by Harry
Wright several years ago. In the davs when
the league was in its infancy, Weyhing was con-
sidered bit of high roller, and wasn't preju.
diced against the figuratve red paint that makes
a difference in the morning. That was the
trouble with Weyhing in Philadelphia. Wright
always acted as sort OF guardian "Gus, -
and in a fatherly way often advised him 10

and his release followed Shortly afterward
Wright said: THAT fellow one of the best
natural born pitchers ever nodded He was
made to order to pitch ball. His arm is long
and fortified with those long, stringy muscles
and is built on the same plan as a whip He
will be able to pitch if he lives to be seventy
years old, provided he takes of himself y
How correct was Wright's analysis it is only
necessary to point to Weyhing's record during

ball than at any time in his career.-Cleyelans

Gen. Wheeler Thoroughly Di.susted

AS a result of the conflicting accounts
of the conditions in the hospital at Camp
Wikoff, Montauk Point, n. Y. Gen.
Wheeler has become disgusted and is in
dignant at the evasive replies TO his re-
quests for information. and has ordered
Gen. Ames to make a complete investi-
cation of the surrounding conditions Of
the camp. 1t has been reported that the
water supply is very poor, and as for the
sewerage, there are no facilities for
drainage; the soil is of such nature
that the germs permeate it and the water
in the wells becomes infected. 1t is safe
to state that at least one-half of all the
sickness among the soldiers is due TO the
lack of good water and the use of bad
water. The question of a pure liquid
article in place of the impure water can
easily be solved by the government in or
dering Heurichs beer sent to the differ
ent camps. If impure water is COM
municative of disease Heurich's beer is
a preventive of infectious germs because
there isn't a better more wholesome or
purer beer brewed than that produced
by the Chr. Heurich Brewing Co.

Socrates Nnupin VIII Be Buried ut

Arlington Tomorrow.
The body of Socrates Maupin. the
young soldier who died at Santiago of
typhoid fever on August 13, was brought
to this city yesterday afternoon, and will
be buried from Zurhorst's undertaking
establishment tomorrow at O'Clock.
Socrates MaUpin was but eighteen years
old, and was the third of seven sons of
Mr.. William Maupin, of 22S East Capitol
Street When the call for volunteers
came he, together with his brother John.
enlisted in Company G., of the District
Volunteers. The boys marched shoulder
to shoulder and lay side by side in the
trenches before Santiago When the IA
tai illness came upon Socrates his broth
er remained beside him night and dav,
nursing and caring for him until the end.
On August 13 his weakened constitution
gave way to the strain, and on the fol-
rowing day he was buried with military
honors. The last act of the District rsei-
ment before leaving Santiago was to fire
Foiley over the dead hero's grave. His
brother determined never to leave Cuba
without his brothers body, and obtained
permission to disinter his body and have
it transported on the Minnewaska. John
received a thirty days furloush and
brought his brothers remains to WASH
ington. 1t was deemed unwise TO have
the funeral services from the home of the
deceased, as there were no facilities for
embalming the body before il was shin
ped. The interment will be made at Ar
llnston The Rev. Mr.. Granville Will
mans, the pastor of tn Metropolitan
BAPTIST Church, will conduct the service,
Ihe pallbearers have been selected from

During the regular forty days session of
the Populist Legislature of Kansas in 1897
the radical leaders failed to carry out their
programme in regard to the railroads. 1t
was claimed at the time that Representative
jerry Simpson and other Populst leaders
were silent members of the railroad lobby
ard caused the failure of the radical pro-
gramme. A few weeks ago it was an
nounced that Governor Leedy would con-
vene the Legislature in special session to
pass his railroad bill, for the reason that
the lower branch of the Legislature-elect,
which will assemble the second week in jan
uary, is largely Republican. Repudiated by
the people. the Populists, or fusionists, as
they are often called, seem to have come
to the conclusion that it is their last chance
to show their hostility to capital and to
railroad enterprise, which have made the
State of Kansas. with its large population.
1a possibility. The report of the railroad
commissioners of Kansas shows that the
railroads whole, inside that State, have
earned 4 per cent. on their bonded debt and
about 2per cent. on the stock. This is a
marked change for the better, but it is due
to the good crops and the defeat of Bryan
ism. In the face of this report. the Popu-
list leaders propose that freight rates shall
be reduced % per cent. and passenger rates
one-third. The bill creates new board sof
railroad commissioners to be appointed by
the Populist Governor during the few days
ne is to remain in office. and this board shall
have power to adjust all differences between
the roads and their patrons. The State now
has an effective railroad commission, but
two of its members are rot Populists. If
the railroad bill shall be passed, a new
board will be created and appointed which
cannot be legislated out of existence because
the next Senate, with it's holdover members,
will have a Populist majority.
Not the less instructive, as showing the
tendency of Populism where 1t was so re-
Gently in full bloom, are some of the other
propositions which the programme contains,
as follows:
To establish state stock yards at a cost OF
million dollars, the charges to be 80 per
cent lower than those of the stock yards
company at Kansas City.
To establish a state insurance department,
the duty of which would be to insure against
fire, lightning and tornado at 80 per cent.
less than the rates charged by the COM
TO make an appropriation for Governor
Leedy's ''north-and-south" railroad scheme.
The one feature of the foregoing pro-
gramme which may need explanation is the
"north-and-south'' railroad scheme of Gov
ernor Leedy During the last session of the
Legislature Governor Leedy advocated the

abort a revolution in the methods of edu-
cation. Teaching is a progressive science,
and no one belonging to the teachers ranks
can stand still. There is either falling to
the rear or constant advance. The condi-
ton of the Indiana schools and the eager
participation in the annual meetings of all
classes Of teachers, from the Kindergarten
to the college professor, shows clearly
enough in what direction the movement is
and that the educational work in the State
is still to have the benefit of all the new
thought and new methods The meetings of
the State Teachers Association and kindred
bodies are most important gatherings Their
influence is felt indirectly and through the
schools, but is all the more potent for that.
Though the public may not attend in large
numbers more outside interest is taken in
the proceedings of these meetings than the
members are aware of, and they need have
no fear that their efforts are not appreci-
ated- The people soon come to know the
leaders in educational work and give them
their due. This forty-fifth annual meeting
promises to be, in some respects, more i'm
portant than any that has preceded it. but
in any case it's work will be worth while
Fifteen hundred or two thousand teachers

The conduct of some of the insurgent sol

country bearing arms and committing out
RACES, revives the fear that the government
has an arduous task before it to bring TO
the ways of peace the thousands of men
who were so long engaged in the guerrilla
warfare of the insurgents. They know moth

the victims of force; in power they Cypress
and outrage 1t will take large force to
quelI these lawless bands and long time

based upon personal rights. 1t was a knowl-
edge of the character Of the bulk of the
arms-bearing insurgents which led the Pres
ident and his party to resist the efforts OF
the Democrats to recognize the Republic of
Cuba when war was declared with Spain.
Such recognition would have made 1t i'm
possible to assume the authority to estab-
lsh order in Cuba The Spaniards driven
out, the island would have been left TO the
Cubans. Now most people must see what
a blunder such recognition would have been.
because It must be seen that the island
would be given over to conflicting factions.
and this would have been little better than
anarchy.
