WESTERN LEAGUE STARS.
List of Players Who VIII Probably
Join Big League Clubs.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 15.-The fact
that Ted Sullivan, the ex-manager, is
touring the Western League in search
of young players for National League
clubs has started the managers of the
various clubs in the league talking
about the players who are really fast
enough for the major league. There are
not a great many youngsters ready for
the draft yet, although the total number
at the end of the season will be found
to reach about twelve to fifteen. The
season is over half past, and an excel
lent opportunity has been had to judge
the different players here
The best pitchers are Waddell, F'risk,
CrOnin and Rettger. Waddell has
pitched great ball for Columbus, but
he does not field his position any too
fine. He is erratic at times, but If
handled right should make valuable
man in the big league F'risk is one of
the most promising players in the cOun-
try, being a splendid pitcher and also
a star fielder and batter. George Rett-
ger has been in the big league before,
but for all that he is one Of the best
tWirleTs in the west today. His work
against the strong Western League
teams has been phenomenal at times.
CrOnin belongs to PittSburg. and will be
returned in the fall. kid" Kellum, of
the Indianapolis club is fast, but not
quite ripe for league company.
The league clubs had better watch the
work of Third Baseman Andrews, of the
Minneapolis club, and Third BaSeman
Gier, of st. Paul. Andrews is the more
valuable man of the two, for the rea-
son that he is an aggressive player and
one who uses his brains. Both are hard
hitters. Dillon, the first baseman of
the Buffalo club, is also worth watch
ing. Waldron, right fielder of the Mil
waukee club; Lefty Davis, of Mime
apolis, and Barrett of Detroit, are the
most promising feeders in the league
WaldrOn has a batting average Of $40
and his fielding percentage for the entire
season is 1000. AS a base runner he is
near the top of the list. Barrett is very
fast. too. and Davis is close up. Nance,
of Minneapolis, is a good man, but not
of the kind to improve.
There are only two catchers in the
league ready for advancement These
are Sullivan, of the Columbus team and
BuelOw, of Detroit. Kahoe belongs to
the Cincinnati club and can not be con-
sidered one of the men to be drafted.
Sullivan is a hard sticker and good
thrOwer, and reports are out to the
effect that Lotus has already disposed
of him to the Boston club for next year.
Buelow is a promising youth and should
make his mark

MRS. TALMAGE's FORTUNE
Preachers Wife Receives $4,000
Check From Hoop Trust.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 15.-After little
more than a year of welded bliss, Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage finds himself the
opulent husband of a woman with a
brand new check for $4,000. The
check bears the signature of officials of
the big hoop trust, and represents Mrs
Talmage's interest IN the Lindsay &c
McCutcheon Cotton Tie mills.
Several weeks ago Thomas G. Nc
Cutcheon and James H. McCutcheon,
active managers Of the plant, were APP
preached by agents Of the hoop COM
binatiOn, who offered $65O,OO0 for the
concern Then and there the deal was
settled.
Mrs. Talmage's part in the transac-
ton rests upon the fact that she is a
daughter and heiress of James Nc
CutcheOns who was a founder Of the
old firm. She IS a sister of James H.
and Thomas G. AIcCutcheon. When she
married the well known divine she was
the widow of the late Charles Collier.
The wedding took place in Allegheny
over year ago. Rev W. J. Robinson
OBLIGATED, and it was the social surprise
Of the year. Now Mrs. Talmage brings
to her clerical husband a fortune.

AWESOME TREES.

LFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch.1
We made a side trip to the big trees
of the Mariposa group, which are about
one hours ride from the hotel, says a
correspondent. If the smallest of these
trees could be planted anywhere in
Pennsylvania the railroads would run
excursion trains to it and make money.
The trees in this grove are so large
that It takes good while to fully APP
preciate the facts about the size of the
biggest of them. The Grizzly Giant"
is "a feet through at the base and over
300 feet high. This tree would OvertOp
the spires on the Pittsburg Cathedral
by about 100 feet. The trunk of this
tree is 100 feet clear to the first limb,
which is 20 feet in circumference. Many
other trees here are nearly as large as
this one, and there are 400 in the grove.
Through it several tunnels have been
cut, and a four horse stage can go
through these tunnels on the run and

to an adequate idea. of their size by
walking off a hundred yards or so while
the stage is standing at the foot of a

of comparison. The stage and horses
look like the little tin outfit that Santa
Claus brought you when you were a
good little boy.
These trees are no longer to be called
the largest in the world, however. A

in Australia as large or larger. En-
ersOn warns US against the use of the
superlative, but when you are in this
region of the globe you can't get along
without a liberal use of it. He himself
says of Yosemite: 1T is the only spot

A Little-Known Anthoresa.

ILondon Cor St. Louis Globe-Democrat1
Probably no woman living has so
many friends who know nothing about
her as has Mrs. Alexander Although
she must have had something like a
million readers in the United States in
the course of the last generation or
two, and much has been written about
her books, almost nothing has been
written about her personally.
Outside of the title pages of her nov
els she is Mrs. Annie Hector, and she
lives in London at No. 10 Warrington
Gardens, MAZDA Hill, in comfortable
brOwnstone house that has nothing os-
tentatious about it. She resembles
Queen Victoria as much as a lively,
quick-witted Irish woman of "A could
look like a Teutonic lady of so.
Mrs. Alexander spends most of her
time at her desk, writing away as
cheerfully as if she didn't have to
pound on the floor with her cane when
ever she wanted anything, for several
years she has been bound hand and
foot with rheumatism. She writes with
pen and ink, in the good Old-fashioned
way, and scorns typewriters and stem
Ographers and the other modern inVen-
lions that tend to the multiplying Of
books. When asked how many novels
she had written she said she WASH t
quite sure whether the total number
was 80 or So
Mrs. Alexander's husband was an en-
gineer, who was as much at home in
Simla and Bombay as he was in Lon
don. At one time he was engaged in
railroad construction in the district
generally believed to have been the
Garden of Eden. She has a son who IS
in the far east and a daughter who
married an officer of the French army
now in DahOmey. Another daughter is
Rider Haggard's secretary and general
assistant, and the youngest daughter is
an artist of great promise.

COMES TO AN END.
Great Teachers Meeting of 1899 Has
Adjourn ed.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 15.--The N. E.
A. convention is numbered with the
events that are passed but will live in
the memory as one of the most notable
events ever held and the one most num-
erOusly attended, there having been
over 1900 visiting teachers registered
here.
At the general session yesterday the
pavilion was crowded to excess and
while the papers read in the morning
were devoted almost exclusively to the
educational press, those read at the
evening session were sufficiently varied
to hold the attention of the vast aud
fence uninterruptedly. There was a pa
per, however, read at the morning ses-
sion by superintendent Aaron Cove of
Denver on the ''UsurpatiOn of Home by
School, that was of vast Importance.
The growth of paternalism, the speaker
urged reaches over the schools and
much of the training formerly done at
home is now relgated to the school. The
severe religious and effective discipline
of the early American home is disap
pearing and the remedy advocated was
more time with the teacher.
The Usefulness of the University
served a text in the evening for
President David Starr Jordan of stan
ford university, to deliver an address
upon the work being done IN American
universities in turning out manly and
cultured men, and that in the fullest
sense of those terms.

OBITUARY..

We publish below the facts of the life
of Mr.. John L. Nicholson, whose death
occurred here last Sunday morning at
the home of Mr. L. w. Nicholson.
Mr. Nicholson was born April ID. 1919,

he died. He was married in the town
of his nativity in 1916, and in 1865 came

he has been ever since. Seven sons and
two daughters were born in the family.
The daughters are both dead, but the

LALLY AT JEFFERSON.

Jefferson Bee Tells of the Eloquent Deni-
son Mans Address on Memorial Day
MIR. Russell introduced in neat
speech Mr.. p. E. c. Lally, of Denison,
the orator of the day, as man who
claims Greene county as one of his
homes.'
Mr.. Lally referred pleasantly to this
Homecoming to his old Greene county
friends, among whom he began life as
raw Irish emigrant boy back in 1877,
and then plunged into the matter of
his speech, which was a splendid one,
both in thought and delivery. Seldom
has a better been heard from that plat
form, and never one more loyal, more
patriotic or more truly American. It
warmed the hearts of the old soldiers
and inspired the souls of the rest of the
great audience. There are no orators
greater than the Irish, and Mr.. Lally
has caught some of that divine breath
of eloquence which formerly blew upon
Edmund Burke and other of his illus
triOus countrymen.
