NOT COMING TO WASHINGTON
The Champions Not to BE Removed
From Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, June IA rumor, circu-
lated by Pittsburg reporters, has been of
considerable annoyance to the Brooklyn
club officials. 1t is to the effect that the
champions are to be transferred to Wash
ington because of poor patronage at home.
The Brooklyn officials denied in the most
positive manner today that any such move
will be made and declared tney are per-
fectly satisfied with the business done this
season.
I'VE are making money" they said, and
we will be playing in Brooklyn for years to
come. We have too much money invested
here to make such change, and for that
matter we contend that under favorable
conditions Brooklyn is better ball town in
every way than Washington. Tie slump
of the New Yorks has undoubtedly hurt
the interest in this city, but the Brook
Ign club is not complaining"

The santa Fe management has posi- | lively refused to grant the lrainmen an Increase in pay, as demanded. The grievance committee of the Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen are still in Chi cago, and yesterday conference was being held between the member and the national chiefs of the two orders Just what will be the outcome of the conference is question.
 The Santa Fe officers refused the in- l crease asked for, which amounted to an advalce of about l5 per cent, on the | ground that the Santa Fe trainmen were now receiving as much, and in | some cases more, than the trainmeu of other western roads. In taking this | stand the executive officers followed i General Manager Mudge's lead, as Mr. Nudge refused to grant the advance at | the time of the first conference on the . same ground
 Mir. Nudge said that he believed the . oaula re tfdlnmen were 100 Seuslble | and too well satisfied with their treat ment at the hands of the company to . think of a strike.
 Several concessions, in the matter of . runs and work, were made by the Santa | Fe management, and several question: | able points of the schedule were de | fined. The committees have been in . Chicago for the past ten days.-Topeka |. State Journal.

of the North Side kindergarten has not yet been decided upon, the board having several places under consideration. It is be- lieved however, that everything will be in readiness for the opening of the North Side kindergarten also, by October 1st. The board is desirous of placing a kinder garten in the Mercy Home. exclusively for the benefit of the little ones there. The experiment, as heretofore tried, of admit ting a limited number of outsiders to the kindergarten while temporarily located in the home did not prove successful. The managers of the Mercy Home and the Creche are very desirous for this work to be resumed under the more favorable con- dtions.
 The training class for young women un- der the auspices of the Kindergarten Asso- ciation will also reopen on October 1st, in the South Side Kindergarten. Miss Edith Woodruff will again be in charge of the work, which means that its conduct will be entirely satisfactory. The graduates, of last year have been appointed to assist Miss Woodruff in the work of this year. The following assignments, as recommend ed by Miss Woodruff, were adopted by the board several weeks ago.

This manner of purchasing not only in- sures delivery of the goods in their ware
 houses in perfect condition, but also se- cures rock-bottom prices and many special advantages that cannot be secured in con nection with small purchases. There is only one brand of Baking Powder that Messrs. McLester S VanHoose buy in solid carload lots, and that is the Good Luck brand, manufactured by the Southern Man ufacturing Company of Richmond.

not in a position to actually know to con. clude that jobbing house of the standing and prominence of Messrs. McLester & VanHoose would not buy Good Luck in such tremendous quantities unless there was an enormous demand for it throughout this section, and unless it has been giving perfect satisfaction. Its manufacturers claim for it the highest leavening power on record, perfect healthfulness and just price. Messrs. McLester & VanHoose vouch for the fact that Good Luck has invariably come up to It's recommendation in every instance and particular.
 Messrs. James A NanHoose and Robert McLester, the gentlemen composing the firm of McIIester & VanHoose, are too well and favorably known to need any en- comium here.

A Little Hero.

There are heroes in times of peace as well as In war, and while this particular hero has not been given an opportunity to distinguish himself in war, he has shown the brave qualities required in war heroes, and no bronzed soldier returning from the front was ever received with wider-open arms than those which closed about this little hero While there may not have been the fiuttering of flags and band to play martial airs, there were happy hearts that beat at the sight of the little fellow, and many messages were sent over the tele- phones in answer to numberleSs inquiries in regard to his arrival. This little hero in the person of Master Bragg Conner, the tweIve-year-o son of Mir. and Mrs. Brax- ton Bragg Conner, arrived at his home in Birmingham last Wednesday. after jour ney of two hundred miles on horseback. He made the journey alone.
 The pretty story connected with the Jour ney is that the little fellow was anxious to be the possessor of a beautiful horse that belonged to the stud at the country place of the Corners near Eufaula. The lad was told that he might own the horse provided that he would make the journey to Bir- mingham on horseback, and where the ma jority of boys would probably have been dismissed with this statement, the little fellow promptly declared that he would make the journey.
 He was one week on the road and at yari- ous points he was considerate enough to telegraph his parents Of the headway being made. When Calera was reached he was so fatgued that he was forced to spend the day, but with this exception time was lost from the day the perlous journey was begun until the happy moment the brave little fellow, sitting very erect his handsome horse, passed through the iron gateway at his home, and was wept over by the members of his family. He is nat urally regarded in the light of a very su- perior being, particularly by all the boys in the neighborhood.
