~ The Financial Side of the Coming Baseball Season, ~

The annual spring meeting of the
National league magnates will be held
in New York the latter part of this
month and as the future of the base
ball game depends largely upon the
action lat may be taken at this time
the "rooters" in all parts of the coun-
try are anxiously awaiting this con
v%ention, straining both eyes and ears in
the hope of catching some hint of the
sensations that they feel certain are to
result from this gathering of the capital
lists.
During the past two years the base
ball season has been a financial frost,
and the bitter knowledge that the
game was no longer profitable has been
brought home most emphatically to the

TOM 0CHILTREE.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Tom Ochil-
Tree crossed the ocean just before hos
tlities broke out between the United
States and Spain. He had as fellow traV-
elers a French officer and a Spanish Off
Ger. The incident which Mr.. Ochiltrcc is
telling in Washington this winter he uses
to illustrate what a tremendous surprise
the recent proWcss of American arms was
to the European world. On this voyage
the FrcnChman and the Spaniard in
dulged in much talk about the probable
results Of the war which they then re-
garded as inevitable, They We're loud in
their interchange of opinions.
% course you viii whip the Yankees"
said the Frenchnlan one day in a tone
which was heard by everybody in the
smoking room. Their navy amounts to
nothing. You will drive it off the ocean in
six weeks. Then you can land on their
southern coast anywhere you please.
They are so torn up with politics they will
not be any match to you. Besides, half of
them will join you just as soon as you
lane II help to whip the rest. They have
been waiting for just such a chance ever
since they were whipped by the North"
This was as much as Ochiltree could
stand. He addressed the two officers.
by the Ioudness of your talk he said.
II suppose you intended it to be heard. l
just want to say 10 you that if you think
you are going to whip those Yankees so
easily you are nightly mistaken. / was
one Of 10000 in the south that tried fol
years to do it, and those who came out of
it alive were too badly used up to want
to try it again, if they wanted to-"
And then addressing himself particu-
larlv to the Frenchman Colonel Ochiltree
continued.
"Td like to say to you, sir, that when I
listen TO military opinions I don't care
much for those Of the fellow who a
been licked. I'd rather hear what some
German officer has got to say about the
prospects OF this war IMAM "hae you

ISHED.

New York Times: Away up under the
big dome on the northwest corner of the
POstotfiCe building, in q dark, gloomy
room, is a curious collection of all sorts
of articles, which ave been piling up and
getting more and more numerous and
varied year after year as the cases of
~litigants dragged along, one after an
other, through the United States circuit
court. Almost everything is there, from
the parts of a locomotive to a woman's
gloves, which have lain so long in their
dusty receptacle that no one remembers
the story tina brought them there. All
these things are on file as exhibits in the
circuit court cases, and to each belongs a
story hidden away in the long records of
litigation-often some old romance or
tragedy.
Stored away in a corner there is an old
piece of boiler iron, which recalls one of
the strangest tales of railroading ever
told in court. For weeks it numbered the
courtroom, because it was too big to De
carried up the narrow, winding staircase
leading to the storeroom of curiositles,
but some ingenious mind devised some
scheme for getting it up to its present
quarters at last, and there it is doomed
to remain until, perhaps, some future
plan for dispensing justice will not ad-
nit the necessity of such exhibits.
The story that clings to this old boiler
iron came out in a suit for damages
brought by the heirs of a brakeman on
the Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad
against tina corporation for damages for
his death.
The nan was killed by what was ap-
parently the explosion of an engine IN
which he was riding. Two other brake

nesses. The train pulled out of a coun-
try station late one night. and rumbled
along for four or five miles, when the en-
gineer discovered that he had left his con-
ductor and one of his train crew behind.
He switched off OF the first siding he
came, to, uncoupled his engine from the
train, and went back for the missing men,
whom he found patiently waiting for him.
The two castaways boarded the engine,
which sped back to the siding, where the

to suppose that they will accept a stock
assessment in lieu of dividends every year
simply that a few men may be permitted
to pursue their stubborn course.
There is no reason why, with effective

as those at the head are
capable of-haseball should not start in

GENERAL WOOD CAPTURES THE
REVOLUTIONARY LEADER.
VIII Not Be Permitted to Proceed to Sam

nAnt at the Treatment Accord

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 1.-General
Juan Isidro Jirninez, the revolutionary
aspirant to the presidency of the re-
public Of Santo Domingo, who arrived
here several days ago with his two
sons by the south-coast steamer, Vat
was not allowed to land, came ashore
Wednesday, and was placed under
arrest by the order of General Leonard
Wood, the military governor, who will
not permit him to proceed to Santo
Domingo, except after ms tructions to
that effect from Havana.
General Jiminez is very indignant at
the treatment to which he has been
subjected, though he does not attempt
to conceal his intention to proceed to
Santo Domingo and become president
OF the republic.
He said in an interview that he had
received cabled information that the
revolutionists hold practically the
whole republic, except the capital, San
Domingo. He referred to General Go
mez as my particular friend" but said
the latter was in no way involved in
Dominican affairs. A close examina-
ton OF his twenty-six tru nks revealed

Gigantic Task Accomplished by Americans
in Yokohama.

Yokohama, Aug. 29-Five thousand
United States troops have come and
gone, roaming through the streets of
Yokohama and Tokyo for an average
of two days without causing ripple
OF disturbance. The American commu--
nifty here is small, but it is intensely
American. The task which it has I'M
dertaken in connection with the pas
sage of American troops is all suffi-
cient to prove its ardent patriotism.
For some forty or fifty families, hard
ly enough to make up small country
village, to feed and to entertain in
every possible way an army of 10000
troops is something never before
known in the annals of hospitality,
Yet, half of this gigantic task is al
ready accomplished, and the devoted
hosts are full of pluck and energy to
pursue it to the end. They feel amply
repaid by the unbounded gratitude Of
the soldiers, while even the Japanese
have been taught new lesson in pat
