Base Ball Notes.

1t is certain that Buffalo will not be one
of the cities dropped by the American
League. Geographically it must be re-
tanned to balance the eastern and western
circuits properly.
Cliff Lattimer did not have a prosperous
season with the bat in the Eastern League.
His figures We're .224. This is not recon-
mendation for some major league to gobble
him up.
Doc" Newton of the Reds pitched for
Greensburg against the Manhattans Sunday
at Cincinnati and won. Score, to 2. New
ton struck out seventeen men.
1t is said that the Pittsburg club cleared
$50. 600 on the season Just closed. OF this
amount $500 was divided among the play
ers for finishing second in the race No
other club In the league did half SO well in
the matter of profit.
Recently the double umpire agitation has
been resting. 1t will be lively enough at
the next league meeting. and there is every
reason TO believe that 1t will be adopted
again. The single umpire system is not
fast enough for the games as they now are
| played.
The Brooklyn and New York players
reached Havana, Cuba. last Tuesday, and
reports received Of their opening encounter

CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.

William j. Bryan is needed in North
Carolina. That state has just adopted
an amendment to the constitution dis
franchising the negroes of that state on
an educational test, while allowing the
poor white trash" who do not know
half as much as the average darkey,
the continued right to the ballot. There
is no question but the negroes who
come up to the educational test will be
kept from the polls by intimidation as
it is the object to disfranchise all the
negroes after they have for years been
given the ballot by the federal constl-
tuition. A similar amendment has been
adopted by several other states and
still others are likely to follow.
We are not discussing the right or
the wrong of negro suffrage, but simply
calling attention to the Inconsistency
of the democratic contention that the
negroes and Malays of the Philippines
are entitled to independence and are
capable of self-government, while by
| the very nature of their surroundings
they cannot be half as capable as the
negroes of the south, who for genera
tions, have been surrounded and in
contact with intelligent white men.
We want Mr.. Bryan to apply little of
1.-THE consent of the governed" to the
strong hold of his party, the only sec
| tion that has made democratic success
possible for the past forty years, and
Bryan electors this year. Postyille
Review.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-17

gress vote against proposition to
amend the constitution to give the fed
eral government power to deal with the
trusts?' Before he has Squared himself
to tackle this proposition someone else
is more than likely to ask about the
Tammany ice trust. 1t is safe to as
sulhe that the antitrust man will be
kept explaining as long as he can hold
his audience.
The fellow who argues that is to
isn't an issue this year is likely to be
pretty numerous wherever men do con-
gregate. He will have the probable
makeup of the senate for the next four
years on the tip of his swiftly vibrating
tongue, ank he will show now impos-
sible it would be for Mr. Bryan in the
event of his election, to change the ex
listing order of things. Just when he
is getting his argument nicely rounded
out, the awkward questioner is pretty
certain to get in the query, "lf 16 to
isn't an issue this year, why did Mr..
Bryan sandbag the Kansas City con-
vention into putting it into the plat
form?' Does anybody think the side
walk spellbinder is going to produce
satisfactory answer to that query?
These are only few samples of the
awkward questions which may be fired
at the curbstone attorney of the demo
cracy. If he be indiscreet enough to
try to talk tariff he may be called upon
to explain why a democratic congress
failed to make any substantial progress
toward reducing the tariff Should he
talk calamity, query as to whether OF
not he is making more money than in
1896 is sure to cause him trouble. If
he talks militarism a reminder of the
jurisdiction of congress to reduce the
military establishment at any time is
apt to feaze him. And so 1T will go all
along the line. The man behind the
Interrogation point is going to make
life burden for the open air exponent
of the Kansas City platform during the
next few months. Sioux City Journal

The corkwood rree.


Corkwood comes from the bark Of O
species Of live oak tree found at its
best in the forests of Spain. The cork
wood tree is said to be one of the three
most valuable trees known. the others
being the trees producing rubber and
quinine. The corkwood bark is strip
ped from the trees and the principal
branches about once in every ten
years, each tree yielding from SO to 500
pounds Of crude cork. This is packed
in Spain, shipped to this country i'll
bales and boiled to make it less brittle
and is then handled by machinery and
turned out in various finished prod
ucts.
The corkwood tree requires about
ten years to recover from the bark
stripping and does not, like most trees,
die with the loss of it's bark. The old
er the tree the better the yield of cork
is said to be, and in Spain many trees
are bearing heavy bark crops at the
age of more than hundred years.
The only care required of the trees is
that the underbrush be cleaned out
constantly to guard against the danger
Of forest fires. The trees, because Of
their bark, are highly inflammable.

Monster. of the old Arc.

Aldrovandus' "N1onstrorum Historic"
was printed in Bologna in 1912, 50
years after his death, and was put
forth in good faith as contribution to
natural history. Aldrovandus thought
he was teaching mankind all about the
remarkable creatures to be found in
distant climes. 1t almost looks as
though he anticipated the rubber
neck' by his strange combination of a
man with the neck Of crane.
He was net satisfied, however, with
giving his readers this marvel to graf
ify their appetite for the wonderful.
He presented picture Of woman
with the wings and claws of bird,
and, having conceived this marvellous
bird woman. he reversed the process
and made pictures Of a boy with a
birds head and horses, goats, pigs and
lions with human faces.
Nor was Aldrovandus alone in the
creation Of monsters stranger than
ever were seen on land or sea. There
We're Marco Polo, Vaudeville and Pin
to, who, while relating much that was
valuable and true of foreign lands, had
no hesitation in including stories and
pictures of men and animals born of q
vivid Imagination. Witness the pic
ture Of man like that described by
Shakespeare, Men whose heads do
grow beneath their shoulders" What
credulous age for writer's and readers
