RUFFLEs DADS DIGNITY.
The Young Baseball Rooter Causea
His Paternnl to Feel Too
Prominent.

He is Chicago board of trade man, dig
nifed to degree, has luXuriant, bushy side
whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball He also has a son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the intense strain of knowing that St. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden"
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after a
long, hard spurt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had dotfed his cap thrice.
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with either
hand.
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with a voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundceds toward
his devoted dad, the six.year.old rooter fair

DEWEY AT THE CAPITAL.
Preparations for the National Re-
ceptlon In Washington to the
Famous Admiral.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Arrange-
ments for the national reception of Adj
miral Dewey in this city October 2 and
3 are being rapidly completed. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, the marshal of the pa
rade, has announced the selection of
Adit. Gen. Corbin as his chief of staff,
and Maj. John A. johnson, assistant adj
jutant general, chief aid de camp. The
parade will consist of about 10000 men,
representing military and naval, civic,
patriotic, labor and secret organiza-
tions. The escort which will accom-
pany Admiral Dewey to the capitol at
noon on October 3, where he will be
presented by Secretary Long the sword
voted to him by congress, will be mount
ed, and consist of the visiting govern
ors of the states and their staffs, repre-
sentatives of the army, the navy and
the executive branches of the govern
ment and prominent citizens of the cap
ital.
Thirteen warships, nine revenue cut
ters and five torpedo boats will welcome
the Olympia when she arrives in the
harbor bearing Admiral Dewey. The
combined naval force will anchor off
Staten Island in double column, the
| smaller vessels taking the outer line.
The leading vessel in the line will be
the flagship New York, followed in or
der by the battleships Indiana and
| Massachusetts and armored cruiser
Brooklyn and battleship Texas. As
various other vessels arrive they will be
assigned to berths either astern of the
Texas or in the parallel column. The
anchorage occupied by the warships
will stretch from off the Staten Island
ferry landing to very nearly abreast of
the quarantine pier. The Olympia, on
her arrival, is expected to steam just
ahead of the New York and anchor 1T n
point about 400 yards beyond that ship.
The Olympia and New York will lie
on either side of the Staten Island ferry
slip entrance, the Olympia above and
the New York below.
The present programme for Saturday,
September 30. is that Admiral Dewey
shall come from the Olympia to the
Battery by nine o'clock. There he will
be met by Il committee of 10, who will
escort him to the city hall. There he
will hear the mayor make a speech and
$4,000 school children sing patriotic
songs and will receive the present of a
| gold loving cup. These ceremonies
completed, Admiral Dewey, with the
mayor and his committee and the in
vited guests of the city, in all about 400,
will drive down Warren street and will
proceed by steamer to One Hundred
and Twenty-Ninth street. 1t is calcu-
lated that in this way the party will sit
down to breakfast not later than 11:15
O'Clock, and that by one o'clock the ad-
miral will be ready to take his place
at the head of the line of marching sol
diers.

specimen goes in the ash barrel. For some
reason or other my wife decided that the
cereus was going to bloom last night. 1t has
threatened to bloom so many times and then
backed out at the last minute that nobody
but woman would have any more faith in
it. But it was a sure thing this time and
Mrs. Smith sent runners all over town to
summon our friends in to see that dastardly
thing burst into flower; certain billed to
blossom out at midnight. When | came
home Mrs. Smith said:
Now, Henry, hight blooming cereus is
something you don't see in flowers more
than once in century-or is it thousand
years? Anyway it's an awful long time.

antitrust conference between gov

to open here Wednesday, arrived in the
city Monday. Attorney General Smith.

General Davis, of Arkansas. have also
arrived. Gov. Stephens and Attorney
General Grow, of Missouri. are here
also. Gov. Sayers has prepared no pro-
gramme for the conference, and SAYS
the meeting will be entirely informal.
the delegates themselves deciding the
manner of proceedings after they come
together. He asserts, however, that the
conference will be distinctly inimical
10 trusts. The only question in his
mind is whether trusts should be reg
ulated or abolished. This, he thinks.
is the question that will be dwelt upon
chiefly in the discussions. Ways and
means of regulation or annihilation
forms another subject of discussion.
Gov. Jones. of Arkansas, expressed
the view thai it would be a good idea for
the governors and attorneys general
who attend the conference to agree up
on some plan of action that would pro-
hibit trusts, and then for each governor
to go home and convene the legislature
of his state at once and submit the same
to that body for ratification. He said
he would be willing to follow this plan,
after first consulting with the members
of the Legislature. TRUSTS should not
be temporized with, but prohibited"
was the way Gov. Jones put it.
