BASEBALL PACT.

National League aud American As
sOciatiOn May Fight Westerners.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Developments point
toward a pact being made between the
National league and the American asso-
citation, the organization Of which Adrian
C. Arson is the leading promoter. This
pact may be similar to the famous nation
al agreement, which has been in force
and which the American league magnates
are now talking of defying. If reality fol-
lows probabilities, the American league,
formerly the Western, would be ignored
in the deal and left to shift pretty much
for itself. Baseball followers, when told
of the new phase of the situation. agreed
that the American association, taking adj
vantage of the supposedly gradually wild
ening breach between the National and
Western leaguers, sees an opportunity to
step in, make friends with the National
league and urge the advisab1lity OF an
alliance on the grounds of benefit and
success to be derived from friendly COM
petition.
Arson, when asked whether he had ap-
preached any of the National league mag
mates. looking towards the new alliance,
unhesitatingly declared he had talked
with Freedman. Rogers and Soden.
"All of them the veteran asserted, be
ueve Just as 1 do--that friendly COMPETE
ton, with a division of schedules and a
salary limit, would be the best advertise
nent for baseball Mind you, l did not
approach them directly about the ques-
ton but the drift of their conversation
was along the same line indorse"
Arson will leave for Baltimore Sunday.

that the mercury is lower we have skip

though You may laugh at the idea, they
are very warm these dainty lace lengths
Indeed, though many would think the
contrary, the girl warmly dressed
throughout with chiffon boa is usually
much more comfortable than the maid

even cloak.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the lace year has been the revival Of the
prim little barb OF old. 1t comes in all
the newer laces, but perhaps we like 1t
best in the dainty old Point d'Alencon. A
pretty one is $3.50. D'Angleterre Is an
other favored lace. These dainty little
lengths may be had for almost any sum,
% cents to $25.
The real feature. though, Is the re-
vival Of the Spanish lace scarf. Hand

or white cost SIS and SIS, and are each
and all enough to tempt any dark-eyed
senorita. They are prizes as a head-dress

CONCORD, N. H., Jan. 5-The execu-
tors Of the eccentric millionaire John H.
Pierson, of this city, the contest over

for storing an amputated leg of Mr.. Pier

Eleven years ago Mr. Pierson had to
have one of his legs amputated. He de-
cided to keep the leg and have it buried
with him. He accordingly handed it over
to a Concord druggist, with orders to pre-
serve it and produce 1t for burial at the
proper time. This the druggist did. One
