LATEST YARN ABOUT TREE.

Mr.. Beerbohm Tree, whose affecta-
lions of manner are viewed with a mix
ture of enervation and unconcern by
most of the persons enjoying the priv
ilege of his acquaintance, is the subject
of an amusing story now and then.
The latest about him serves to exhibit
him in the light of deep preoccupation,
which he so dearly loves to assume.
Over in England seats in a theatre
are generally spoken of as places"
Thus, if one wishes to purchase orches-
ira stalls in a playhouse he will inquire
at the box Office for the requisite num-
Der of places.
Mr. Tree, it seems, had an appoint
ment recently in one of the provincial
cities and sauntered into the railway
station with the expression Of counte-
nance worn by persons upon whose
shoulders the affairs of a nation are
resting. He approached the ticket Of
flee and said to the attendant:
"One, If you please"
The ticket agent in return inquired:
For where?'
Mr.. Tree, with dreamy, PARKWAY
look, rejoined:

GREAT SEASON FOR HITTERs.

''The championship season of 1899
will stand out for the future as one of
the busiest for the hitters," says Presi-
dent Young. "Delehanty's average al
most beggars belief and I doubt if it
will be equaled or excelled in many a
year to come. -Four batsmen-Dele-
hanty, Burkett, McGraw and Hickman
have surpassed Keeler's percentage
of last season. The lively perfor-
mances at the bat by the major league
players this year was unexpected, in
view CT the comparatively weak show
ing of the hitters of last season in the
300 class. The records Of 1898 show
A batsmen in the 800 class, while 81
sluggers are entered in the ranks of the
800 elect this year, with Delebanty
and Burkett over the 400 NOTCH

HOW WE WERE CAUGHT.

Other Papers Responsible For The Bur
dette Stories We Did Not Publish
Them Until They Had Remained I'm
contradicted for Some Time.
Some of the papers are blaming the
DAILY New DOMINION for publications
in the Burdette Of Grafton poisoning
case which in most cases were taken
from their columns. This is particu-
larry true in the case of the Parkers-
burg paper and the Kingwood Argus.
The first thing published in refer
ence to the case was sent out from
Parkersburg to the Pittsburg Post and
taken from that paper. The next
item was taken from the Argus. In
each of these cases the statemen is
were presumed to have been true and
they were relied upon by this paper.
The statements were not published
verbatim but revamped before they
were published by US. There was
nothing in them to regret except the
element later discovered of untruth-
fulness. They did not hurt anything
and libelled no one. We are sorry Of
course that anything that it unfounded
should have gotten into the paper but
the fault lies with those who fir It
started the reports and had them pub
lished ia nearly all the city papers be-
fore they were noticed by us at all.
1t was only after they had apparently
been fully substantiated that we used
them.

time destroys all hopes of putting

ing to let the Athletic managers use
the money the Legislature appro-
priated for the purpose of enclosing
