drain than any they have yet experienced
The rooters who attend the baseball
games have but little idea OF what 1t costs
to run a professional team, but those VINO
are posted in such matters insist that much
more than a million dollars Is spent every
year by the National league. The expenses
each time two clubs come together Is about
about that amount. A little thought ana
the addition of few figures will show that
the estimate is an extremely conservative
one
The salaries in National league clubs av-
erage about $1,000 year, and as there Is
scarcely a team that carries less tnan NJ
teen men it is not too much to say that the
salary list of any large club will reach SSo'-
900 by the end of the year. While this Is an
important item of expense, 1t Is but smaii
matter compared to the other charges that
must be met by the box office.
First, there are the large bonuses that are
,paid for players. These average from $oOu
to $1,000 each. while the amounts that are
received for players that are released are
by no means large in comparison. Ihen
there are the salaries that must be paid 10
other officials of the club, including police,
ticket sellers, gate keepers and ushers, ana
this item, with the expense of the grounus'
care, insurance, ETC., will foot UP to nearly
$4,000 The cost of uniforms and balls,
which cost the club $3.50 apiece, will not De

The expense of the club while away from
home make another important item. At
home baseball players are not usually an
extremely particular set of men. They pay
their own board and they are satisfied with
humble fare. AS soon as they start upon 4
trip, however. they become difficult to
please and nothing but the best will satis-
fy them. Sleepers are a necessity, carriages
must always be provided and If an effort
should be made to put them up any but the
best hotels a strike would be precipitated.
These expenses. including mileage, are not
less than 81, 900 or $4,000. The league dues
and the other incidentals will make the
total expense of running a club fully $1OO,-
600, to say nothing OF bonuses and other
items that cannot be foreseen at the begin
ming OF season.
It is IN view of these facts that the
league magnate9 have decided to make q
radical change In the management OF their
clubs and the reforms that have been adopt

magnates are men of wealth and they are

vtdends every year simply that few men
may be permitted to pursue their stubborn

THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF THE

at this time, the ''rooters in all parts of

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe But Effect
ual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloated sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played-out and languid feeling.
| There is often q foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi
! ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate disease is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
and thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces OF the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
trse, Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX, Col
den Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not be-
ing a patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges-
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr. N j. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom. passing back into the throat,
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me three years
for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today l am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot find
appropriate words to express my good
feeling. l have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of the
stomach. biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

ach troubles, by addressing the F. A.

CELEBRATION AT P1TTsBURG.
Admiral Schley and General Wheeler
Principal Speakers.

Pittsburg. April 27.-Politics gave
way to patriotism at the annual BAN
quet of the Americas Republican club
in honor of the birthday of General
Grant tonight, and instead of the names
of such prominent Republican leaders
among the speakers as Mckinley, Har-
rison, Reed and Sherman, the army and
navy had the call, and the guests of
honor were General Joseph Wheeler and
Admiral Winfield S. Schley. The dinner
was held at the Hotel Schenley, and in
many respects was the most successful
ever given by the club. Covers were
laid for 500, and had there been room
probably twice this number of tickets
would have been sold.
Preceding the dinner the distin-
guished guests held a reception which
lasted more than an hour, and it was
long after the time fixed for the ban
quet when the guests filed into the
banquet hall to the inspiring strains of

NO WOMAN. Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of Importance
In every womans life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
.DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like q
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea 1
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. l now wish to say that never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia e, Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. l hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkhazn, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinlzham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health

AT GRANTS OLD HOME.
Postmaster General Smith Delivered
the Grafton.

Galena, Ills, April 27.-For the
seventh time in as many years citizens
of Galena today paid tribute to the
memory of General u. S. Grant, with
exercises in commemoration of the an
niversary of his birthday The cele-
hration surpassed any similar event I'M
der the auspices of the Grant Day as
ISOLATION. Thousands of out-of-tow
vititors witnessed the exercises. The
orator of the day was Postmaster Cen
eral Charles Emory Smith, who came
from Chicago, accompanied by a large
delegation of its citizens. Mr. Smith
said:
Looking down the vista of time from
the serene elevation of his conscious
place on the borderline of earth and
eternity, lifted above all the passions
of the hour with his work done and
his fame secure, General Grant saw and
said that our country was entering on
and progress and power. For, under
the impulse and influence of the ma
tional uprising and patriotic reawaken-
ing of the past year, we witness more
than ever on this anniversary of his
birth, such reunion of the north and
the south, in heart and in hand, as his
great and magnanimous spirit earned.
with this uplifting of the national
sentiment at home, We see on the
broader field his tranquil view trans
figured in advance of the English
speaking race and of our own portion
of it to a larger part in the commerce
and civilization of the world

else in their lives was that consecra-

that set its. triumphs and it's glory be-
yond all risks or exposure to them

The war through which the nation
