TASTED Thirty-Five Days.

For the past two or three years a
great number of people have had re-
course to the starvation cure as a
remedy for their ills of body or mind.
There are many authentic cases where
this abstaining from food has been
productive of good results, but the case
of Mrs. Hermina Meyer, a Philadel-
phia woman, who was a sufferer from
rheumatism and who resorted to the
fasting treatment as a cure, resulted
fatally. Under the direction OF an ad-
vocate of the fasting cult, she abstain
ed absolutely from food for 81 day.
Then she was seized with convulsive
vomiting, From 100 pounds she was
reduced to a mere skeleton. On the
35th day she tasted food, and three
weeks following the breaking of her
fast she died. The person who had di-
rected her to fast pronounced Mrs.
Meyers death due to heart disease. but
her family physician declared it purely
a case of starvation.

st. Louis papers say Lave Cross Is
not playing as well as last season, due,
they argue, to the uncertainty regard
ing his stay on third base and the
talk of McGraw succeeding him in the
position.
There is a demand all over the coun-
try for a return to the double umpire
system. Players, umpires and mag
mates seem to agree that a mistake
has been made in leaving the work
to n official.
Freedman has written t Barney
Dreyfuss asking him for cooperation
in an attempt to restore the double
umpire system. Freedman says that

# freedman Won't Pay.

Mr.. Freedman declines to contribute
five per cent of half of the receipts Of
the Giants games it plays at home ~
abroad toward the fund for the pay
ment of the purchase price OF the four
retiring clubs of the National League,
and it is said that the courts will b.
asked to pass upon the right of the
seven surviving clubs to compel the
new club to pay it's proportionate
share of the obligation. 1t is contend
ed that the New York club did not
consent to the plan and is not bound
by the action of it's associates, as the
unanimous consent of club members
of the league was necessary to bring
about the reduction of the circuit. 1t
is not probable that a court of equity
will allow the New York club to
share in the benefit of the reduction
without paying it's proportionate share
of the expense in accomplishing It.
The New York club dill not vote on the
question, and it did not oppose the
plan, but through its only represent

Be tier Attendance Noted.

The only improvement so far notice.
able in the National League is the pat
ronage. The playing is no better than
it was In 1899 and the umpiring is
worse. There are not as many pooi
teams as there were last season, but
the standard of playing is not by any
means as much improved as was an
ticipated. The return to the single
umpire system has doubled the work
of the officials, and many decisions
are given haphazard because it is i'm.
possible for the master of the field to
see all the plays and he has to draw
differences and take a chance. The con-
duct of the players is c~ensurable, but
not to the same extent as in former
years. Still it is only a question OF
time when the rowdies will be in the
saddle. They are getting holder every
game, and so far not one club owner
has, so far as known, disciplined a
player for being put out of a game.
