Freeman's hard hitting has attracted the
attention and admiration of the baseball
community. Twenty-three home run hits
is a remarkable one-season record. and the
chances are that he viii add half dozen
TO this before the close. The hit at Brook
lyn on Saturday was the longest seen on
any grounds. II has been said that If
Freeman was on winning team his ability
as player would be greatly increased.
This Is the sheerest nonsense. He would
not have made any more If as many hits,
with the Boston or Brooklyn clubs as he
has with the Washingtons. He might have
had however, more 20 show for his work
in the way OF bringing in runs for either
Of these teams.

The National League pays out in salaries
about a half million dollars each season.
For rents, Improvements, insurance, and
taxes, about sl25. .000 more. In addition to
this they erect their own grand stands, not
TO mention other incidental expenses. The
public can imagine how expensive it would
be TO put rival in the field that would
have TO build up from the ground. Mr..
Brush was not extravagant in his ideas
when he stated that it would require an
investment OF over million dollars TO put

MFR. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such suf-
ferers unless he knows cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. He
suffered for many years. He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result OF in
sidious disease until he was reduced to a
condition of senility. aud the best doctors
in the country gave him up to die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically. was turned
to unbounded Joy in a single night through
rare combination OF medicines that liter
ally made him young again. II is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthusi-
asm leads him to offer free to any man.

or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something thai will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and vigor
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed. and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford TO send this prescription free, but IL
costs him little to do so. and he feels a
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.

No Business in District Courts-No

The effects of the storm were more no.

impossible for the members of the juries
summoned to serve in the different
branches OF the Supreme Court of the Dis

the justices presiding in the several courts

pending cases.

These cases, it will be remembered were

to test the police regulation requiring
owners and agents of property in the Dis
trict to remove the snow from IN front

THE EMERGENCY FUND.

Cash contributions to the Emergency
Fund received at The Times office up TO
II O'Clock last night amounted TO si2110,
and we have also to acknowledge donations
of clothing and merchandise from various
charitable merchants and citizens of con-
siderable value, as appears below. In re-
ferring TO cash receipts mention is made
in this column only of sums sent to The
Times. Many of our readers are sending
their subscriptions directly TO Major Syl-
vester. These, as far as reported, are men
toned elsewhere.
The suffering and destitution among our
city poor is being reached and relieved as
far and fast as possible, under the thor
ough system and organization Of Major
Sylvester: but it is certain that the neces-
sity for the emergency work has not ceased
TO exist, and that it is not likely to for

The following were the cash contribution
by the police Yesterday:
LIBERAL DONATIONS.
Harry King and LansburSh d Bro.
Give Quantities of Clothing

There has been a flattering liberality OF
response 10 The Times efforts toward the
raising Of an emergency fund for the ben
eft Of the suffering poor. In one direction,
however the appreciation of the really
grave state of affairs has been particularly
marked-the merchants of Washington
have taken the matter in hand and are
contributing with whole-hearted generos-
ity TO the worthy cause. During the past
two DAYS the work of encouraging sub
scriptions has been materially buffeted by
the blizzard, and in view of the condition
of the weather the results already attained
are quite remarkable.
Two very generous contributions Were
made yesterday afternoon by local mercan-
tile houses.
Mr.. Harry King. jr., of Kings Palace,
notified The Times that he had selected
number of warm coats for women, which
were at the disposal of Major Sylvester,
Superintendent OF Police at any moment.
This offer was the most liberal that had
been made up to that time, and the coats
were sent to Police Headquarters as soon
as wagon could be dispatched for them.
The garments We're of all sorts-mostiy
women's. but quite a number of children's
wraps as well. They were all suited for
the present severe weather, the majority
being full length and made with capes.
Mr. Kings donation is valued at $500, and
the coats are being distributed TO needy
families with all dispatch.
Soon after the receipt Of this donation
Messrs. Lansburgh & Bro. notified The
Times that their firm stood in readiness TO
contribute a number OF warm wraps to
the Emergency Fund. and about dusk sent
TO the business Office of the paper a
large wagon load OF coats and capes, to the
value OF about $3.50 The generosity Of
these TWO concerns, the longest established
of all Washington retail stores. betrays an
interest in the welfare of Washington $
poor that cannot be too much praised. and
sets an example which will most undoubt-
edly call forth equal liberaIity on the part
Of other large stores
