PENNEY SELLS OUT.
Meriden Baseball Team Now Owned by
Dentist DOolittle of That CITY

Meriden Baseball Team Now Owned by
Dentist Doolittle of That City.
Meriden, June IA deal was con-
summated this afternoon whereby a.
r. Penney sold his entire interest in
the Merden baseball team to Dentist
L. T. Doolittle and turned over the
franchise to him. The price paid is
private, but it is understood DR.. Doc
little secured the franchise at very
reasonable figure.
Rumors that Mr. Penney was to sell
out have been circulated freely around
town all this week, but nothing definite
was settled upon until to-day. DR.. Doc
little accompanied the team to Norwich
yesterday and is with the players in
New London to-day.
Word was at once sent to Secretary
James Fl. O'Rourke of Bridgeport no.
tifying him Of the change in the Meri-
den management.
A brother of Dr. Doolittle was seen
this afternoon and he said his brother
would strengthen the team at once and
would leave no stone unturned in his
effort to secure a winning team for
Meriden.
ne ulIeduy has WIGS bttt W oNNe'A y
Dorsey, the center fielder playing with
Waterbury, whom Roger Conner is un-
able to keep, as the Brass City fans in
sist that Derwin, local man, be given
the position.
DR.. Doolittle is a Meriden man who
has always taken keen interest in
athletic sports.
Mr.. Penney came to Meriden with
John c. Chapman in 1891 They con-
Quoted the Meriden team in partner
ship for two years, the Meridens Win
ming the championship their first sea-
son here.
Last year Mr. Chapman sold out to
his partner. The poor showing made
by the new Meriden players this sea-
son, together with the continued slim
attendance discouraged Mr.. Penney
and since Memorial day he was ready
to dispose of the franchise.
While Mr.. Penney has had hard
row to hoe this season in a baseball
sense, socially he made many friends
in Meriden who will wish him well
wherever he goes. 1t is thought that
with the big receipts in New Haven
Memorial day Mr. Penney will quit
about even on the season thus far.

In his very clever treatise, The
School and Society" Prof Dewey,
of the University Of Chicago, an
nounces that he has found THAT
school children may get as much
pleasure from their life in school -
out of it.
This is the idea underlying lne
kindergarten system. aud it appeaf.
to the instructive desire for hap3i
ness which is an element Of huuHf
nature But is the idea alto2etlGef
wise2 Does it promise the hesi u
innate results and oil r.the best
means of attaining them? Is il &c
sirable that children should look
upon school as wholly or chiefly It
pleasure? Is it not better for them
to earn from it some Of the sterner
lessons from which there is no es
cape in after life, even in life Who'll
ly devoted to pleasure?
These are questions which great
many parents are asking themselves
and are forced to ask themselves ia
view of the poor results achieved in
after life by those who as children
have had everything done for them.
Perhaps the need Of the school is
not so much to make things more
pleasant as it is to teach some OF
the sterner lessons of severity and
of hardship by which alone we can
develop the only kind OF character
worth cultivating and worth having.

the naval officers at Tien Tsin, Taku
deepen the darkest and seddest mystery
of the century. The official conclusion
remains unchanged, of course, but it is
admitted that careful scrutiny of the
autograph message in comparison with
the famous cipher message from Minis
ter Conger admits of the belief that the
two messages were ind1ted by Mr.. Con-
ger at about the same time. The situa-
ton at the British legation is represent
ed to be the same in each case, and as
Mr.. Conger declares that relief must
come quickly if at all, there is ground
for the superstition that conditions could
not long have remained unchanged in
such crisis.
The'assumption that this reasoning is
correct involves the further conclusion
that Mr.. Gonger's cipher message, 1t
genuine, was related as of the 18th of
July, two weeks later than the date of
actual writing, aud, of course, if re-
dated at all, that was done by Chinese
officials. On the other hand, and in
support of the state departments posi-
ton, came message from another of
the great Chinese viceroys, TAX, at Cam
ton, he who took charge after Lii Hung
Changes departure. This also affirmed
solemnlv the safety of the legationers,
and, coming from SO many different
sources and from such important Chi
nese officials, these dispatches do claim
attention. A pessimistic view of them,
however, attributes to all common ORR
gin, namely, some one high Chinese
parsonage at Pekin. 1t is noted that
Talks assurance brings the ministers one
day further toward ultimate rescue than
has any preceding message. The fact
that it allows only three days to cover
the transmission over the great distance
between Pekin and Canton hasattracted
attention here, and appears to demand
explanation if the message is to be ac-
cepted as genuinely of Pekin origin.
The navy department has received the
following from Captain Thomas, senior
officer commanding the squadron at
Taku;

publication of the fact in the news dis
patches that the French government
also had been addressed by the Chinese
government in the effort to secure me-
diation. Now it appears tha .,t still ysnrs
powers We're addressed IN d similar
strain. Il is known that Great Britain
and Germany and probably Russia have
received saeh messages. The language
Is not the same, but the animating idea
Is. The state department off .ials Feel
that gen rally speaking this idea is not

simple, IS to induce the powers to re-
sort to TIC settlement of the difficulties
between them and China by the substi-
tuition OF negotiations for armed forces
| This appears more clearly from a COM
i parison Ut the various notes than it did
IN the single note addressed TO the pres
ident. Being so, the chances of a sue
cessful outcome of this attempt of the
Chinese government to secure an ameli-
4 grafton of the consequences of the Boxer
/ uprising are much diminished by the in
| timation that the powers are expected
to refrain from pressing the movement
toward Pekin.
On the contrary, the United States
war department is moving at presen
with greater energy than at any time
since the original orders for tro, ps to
get its contingent i'll position or the
task before it, General Chaffee reported
to the department formally from Maya
saki and there received the orders which
have been sent by cable since his de-
parture from San Francisco An idea
OF their general character can be gath
cred from the general S report that he is
about to push forward at once with his
big transport for Taku. He will not
even stop a Che Foo, and it is even
doubtful whether he will detain the

He instructed Lieutenant Colonel
Coolidge, of the Ninth infantry, at Tien
Tsln, to secure at once all of the tugs
and lighters necessary to speedy land

that are being carried out by the United

In spite of the alarm with which the
Chinese officials, including Lii Hung
Chang, profess to view the advance Of
the allied forces on Pekin, so far as it
affects the safety of the foreign minis
tiers, it may be said that none of the
powers have evinced any tendency &c
abate their preparations or to accept an
escort Of imperial troops for the minis
| tiers from PelSin to Pien Tsin.

faith the assurances of the Chinese gov
eminent to this effect; but it has not
recognized III any way the suggestion
contained in Sheng's cablegram of
Tuesday, that the Chinese government
should furnish the forei gners an escort
out of Pekin. 1t was said at the state
department Wednesday that the Ameri-
can minister is not to be delivered up by
a force of Chinese troops to the allied
forces, or to any one else. This govern
ment deems it much more appropriate,
if he needs an escort out of Pekin, that
it should be composed of American sol
diers.

with the governor Of Shantung Ii
Hung Chang this afternoon an
nounced that the imperial govern
ment was prepared, at any mo-
ment, to give a safe convoy to the
members of the foreign Legations
from Pekin to Tien Tsin, providing
a guarantee would be given that
no advance would be made nren
the capital and that all matters in
dispute between China and the
powers would be made the subject
of friendly negotiations.
A general rising throughout
China is now regarded as so abso-

been ordered to take refuge at

now TO MAKE sALsM A CITY OF FIFTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE INSIDE or TEN
YEARS.

Shall Salem remain at its present di-
mensions as city for the next ten
years, or shall Salem become city Of
nity thousandg Everyone will say the
latter. Even the children But how to
put it there2
The JOURNAL believes in certain fund
amental principles Of policy that will
bring about the desired end. First keep
up the present policy Of a non-partisan
city administration and extend it.
Accumulated surplus and adopt policy
Of liberal improvements when you have
the money to pay for them.
First, give Salem the reputation OF
being the best governed, best financed
and most progressive city in the United
States. This will cost you less out Of
your jeans than to have it the worst in
those respects. II will cost you nothing
but an intelligent, unselfsh, honest vote
Onelection day.
Second, give Salem the best public
schools in the state. DO not keep your
public schools several grades below Ore
gon City, Albany, Eugene and Corvallis.
Those towns have higher institutions Of
learning that are helped, not injured, by
higher work in the public schools. Our
taxes for public schools are the highest
and our grades are the lowest. The
larger boys and girls are all driven to 20
10 private schools or remain out OF
school at the time OF life when they
should begin 10 form a taste for college
and university. Attendance in the
primary grOdes is good in the Salem
schools, but in the Eighth grade we
have principals teaching from ls 10 20
children, who should be teaching room
full Of young men and young women
whose life and civic pride should become
the backbone Of the community. At
least the 10 grades should be taught In
each Of the large sylem school build
ines.
Third, 10 make Salem city OF $4,000
ia the next 10 years. adopt some plan Of
giving this city more slightly streets in
the residence parts Of the city.

directly in the interest Of this city in it's
own struggle for self-preservation. Next
year there will be a large wheat crop
and Salem should not be crowded to the
wall as a market
It is undoubtedly the interest and the
intention Of wheat corporations and
milling interests at Portland to entirely
close down on Saem-as a center OF this
industry aud let no independent market
live here il It is possible TO wipe it out
Mr.. Humphrey and his associates have
no easy task before them. They need
the corporation OF the farmers and OF
the businessmen Of this city to win. They
are on the inside as far as knowledge Of
the business and being in touch with
the outside market is concerned. They
have the experience 10 handle the BUSH
ness and protect the grain grower, and
their only interest is 10 protect him and
protect our city and it's business inter
ests. Let as all join in an intelligent
fight for an independent wheat market
at Salem.

The situasion is an unfortunate one for

yet the farmer Is forced to stay away
