sional engagement was in 1890 with the
Springfield club OF the eastern league. In
1896 he was a member or the Roanoke
team Of the Virginia league. Manager
Wells secured him for the Richmond
club which resigned its membership in
the Virginia league, and in 1897 joined the
Atlantic league. He remained with Rich
mond in 1895 and untIi the middle of the
following season, when he was purchased
by Pittsburg. He ranks as one of the
stars of the profession and is improving
steadily. Chesbro's 1899 national league
record was seven victories, nine defeats
and one drawn game. His best work so
far this season was against the New
York club on May 2Sth. when he held the
Giants down TO three hits. and shut
them out without run. st. Louis made
only seven hits. Chicago six. Boston
seven and Philadelphia eight off him In
a game this season.
Centre Fielder William r. Hamilton
was born In Newark, ~. j., February 18th,
1865. but is now a resident OF Clinton,
Mass. He is one OF the best base run
ners of the league. and led in that de-
partment for five seasons. He Is a great
waiter" and has an eagle eye for pitched
balls. He is very patient at the bat and
is hard to fool. AS a run getter he is a
wonder, Ond his team batting. as exem-
plihed by bunting and sacrifice hitting
has been an important factor IN games
won by his club. Hamilton first played
with a semi-professional team at Water
bury. Conn. in 1857, but in 1858 he COM
menced the season with Worcester of the
New England league, remaining until
August, when he was released to the
Kansas City club. then in the American
association. He continued with that or
ganization until the close OF the season
OF 1889. when the Philadelphia club OF the
National league paid $1,000 for his re-
lease. In November. 1895. Hamilton was
traded for Nash. and since joining Boston
has kept up the reputation he estab-
lshed as winning player. Last season
he was out OF the game half the season
with a bad knee. but he has had no
trouble with II this season and has been
playing nrst-class ball.

NO FALLING OFF IN THE
DEMAND FOR FREE ICE.

Yesterday and today turned out to be
good free ice days and the drivers of the
News free ice wagons are kept on the
jump.
1t is noticeable that on cool or rainy
days there is not nearly as great de-
mand for ice
Why this should be is a problem, for
II would seem as If ice were needed as
much one day as another in summer.
Ii is stated that in many instances the
fee Is wanted for cooling drinks, only,
such as lemonade, ice water, etc.
But for the most part IL is taken home
and put in the ice chest. 1t being the rule
that nearly every poor family has an ice
chest that was purchased in more pros
porous days.
Requests for new distributing stations
continue to came in, so the News takes
this occasion TO jog its readers memo
ries about the contributions.
Do not be afraid that the ice fund will
get too large, for the News can assure
you that all the money that may be sub
scribed will be Spent for ice for the
needy, and more, too.

Then Gebb. who was really angry with
the young couple for their many con-
cealments, determined TO have a thor
ough explanation OF their strange be-
havior.
These important matters having been
attended to. Gebb returned to the goal
and saw Dean; but the interview proved
TO be hnything but "a success. Whether
the man was mad or not Gebb could not
decide without evidence; but certainly
his present sullen silence formed a
strange contrast To his former excite
ment. He neither talked recklessly nor
sang his wild songs. Ills limbs were at
rest. and his eyes looked dull. although
formerly they had been bright and gilt
tering. With vacant gaze and a sullen
expression, he sat huddled up I'm cor
ner Of his cell and absolutely refused 10
speak or even notice his aucstioner. The
man was thoroughly exhausted ard worn
out; but Gebb left the cell with the firm
conviction that Dean was perfectly sane,

to moro effectually bafne dangerous in
