BIG RUBE wADDELL,
The Pirate Southpaw, Suspended by
Manager Fred Clark.

Pittsburg, July s.-George E. Wad-
dell, better known as big Rube," the
left-handed pitcher of the Pittsburg
club, has been indefinitely suspended
by Manager Clarke, of the Pirates.
'Rube" has not been taking the best
of care of himself lately. His habit of
turning night into day did not please
Manager Clarke, and when the Butler
county lad pitched so poorly against the
New Yorks on Thursday Clarke told
him that he would have to mend his
ways or some sharp action would be
taken.
Eddie failed to remember the instruc-
tions and today Manager Clarke told
President Dreyfuss that he had to put
the lad on the shelf until he bettered
his ways.

on his arrival here from Kansas City,
speaking of the work of the Democratic
national convention said
Il labored to have the convention
adopt a more conservative platform on

GOSSIP OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
Eastern Clubs Have a Bad Week in
the West-Good Pitching.

This has been a week of triumph for
the west and of defeat for the east.
The leaders who came to invade the
wild and Woolly section of the league
have been repulsed and beaten, time
after time. The leaders. Brooklyn and
Philadelphia, were Inundated and
broken in Chicago, for LOTUS men
have been travelling a terrific gait and
refused to be beaten. Cincinnati has
helped, and Pittsburg has been almost
invincible at home. while st. Louis,
playing the worst ball of the western
clubs. has broken even and helped
along the good work
Chicago's surprising reversal of form
was the sensation of the week. No
one can account for it The team was
in miserable form and seemed easy for
all corners. 1t fell woefully at Pitts
burg, but during one night Manager
Lotus touched some secret spring and
the next day the team looked like
new team and could not be beaten. The

a historian comes forward and as
surcs us that this Is not the csse.
This historian Ia Ricardo Palma. d.

used by the Ind'ans OF South America
and by the natives OF the An,i''es.

He further points ort thst cclu bus

letters when no referred to the evsnts
OF his first voyage. 1T Is more than
probable" he continues. that he
learned through one OF his ~at.--sants
OF the discovery Of GOLD by some ma
ives In a Race called America. In
this way II is likely that the grad
ually became known throuf out Eu-
rope At that time the only geo
graphical account OF the We~tern Hem
isphere was the one by Albarico ves-
pucol which was published in Latin In
1905. and in German in 1903. Geogra-
phers presumably am to the con-
cluslon that Alberico had given the
name hmprica not merely to a single
hill or mor-tain. but TO the e. re
country. When the first rap OF the
continent bearing the title 'rrovince
OF Anericl' was published In Barcs-
Iona In 1872 Columbus and his com
paRions We're long dead. and there
was no n to protest AGAINST the mis-
use OF the name. Furthermore. there
was no n In all Europe who bore
the name Aneriso and. as vespueci's
name was Albe~ico. s~eoxraph-rs and
historians would surely havs gven the
new ccntine It this name IL they had
desired to honor him in this fashion.
Newly discovered countries were only
named after so~sreisns. as We see In

The churches of Montgomery City
should go forward during the year 1901 with
the "sword of the Lord and of Gideon" if
they expect to meaeure up to their response
bilities for good. A revival of pure and UNI
defiled religion within the church is of as
much vital Importance as a revival outside of
the church. We believe that this observa-
ton will be shared by all who have given the
matter any serious thought.
