ceived his medicine with a vengeance,
Old Boy Shelter dropping the ball over
the center field fence in the last game
that he faced Archie in. Allen will
now work him regularly for the Reds.
Flaherty, last year with Richmond,
and who was with Pittsburg in the
early part of the season, is pitching
fine ball for Hartford in the Eastern
league.
Frank, better known as piggy"
Ward is playing a good second base
for Barnie's Hartford team and is also
bruising the leather, nightly.
Frank Bonner, Scranton's old second
baseman, figured in a lightning triple
play against Toronto. The play was
made by First Baseman O'Hagan,
Bonner and Pitcher Murphy, Bonner
being the pivot man.
Smoot, recently with Allentown, is
sitting on the Worcester bench, and
is being used principally to bat for
the pitchers and weakest hitters of the
team in emergencies.
Smink, formerly with Rochester, and
an old Pennsylvania State Lacquer, has
been signed by Syracuse and is ex-
pected to add much strength to the
Stars catching department. He is an
experienced player and is especially
valuable in steadying the pitchers.
HarSrove, last year with Richmond,
also plays with Syracuse and is play
ing a splendid game. He is batting
well, getting in a great number OF
long drives, home runs in particular.
Jim Delehanty, who played third
base at Allentown, is covering that
corner of the diamond for Worcester,
and is doing it well, too. Eastern lea
que pitchers are a trife harder game
than the Atlantic leaguers that the
loquacious James faced this season,
and as result his batting has not
been as strong. In one of the July 4
game, however, he struck his pace
with 4 vengeance and touched up
Friend, of Providence for a home run
and two-bagger.
The makeup of the Providence
Eastern league team at present is al
most entirely different from what it
was in the old Eastern league days,
when it visited Scranton, McCauley be-
ing about the only one of the Old
Guard remaining. The hard hitting
trio of outfielders, Joe Knight, Lyons
and Murray, has been entirely
changed, Harry Davis, Stafford and
McCauley at present looking after the
outgardens. Jud Smith is now at third
base and fast little Cooney's place at
short is usurped by the fast little
youngster, Parent. COnnor, the eX-
Chicagoan, looks after second base,
and first base where Jimmy Rogers
and big Jake Drauby used to scrambu-
late, is taken care of by heavy hitting
Cassidy. Silver Brann is still with
them, the big white-haired fellow
pitching fine ball and continuing to hit
the ball splendidly for n pitcher. Dixon,
the old catcher, is gone, playing now
with one of the other Eastern league
teams, and Leahy is bearing the brunt
of the Grays' catching.

fession for even greater length Of
time than did the ill-sparred man from
Boston. Jeffries is undoubtedly a
magnificent pugilist. OF colossal build,
he has demonstrated his ability to
take awful punishment, as was evil
denCed in his late fight with Sharkey,
and has also shown that he can last
it uot with the most tricky and heady
of them, as his great fight with ex-
Champion Jim Corbett demonstrated.
Rubin seems possessed of the same
qualities and a fight between the two
men should be a great one.

Business continues quiet and the
much-quoted midsummer dullness" is
held responsible for this condition.
The advance in prices noted last week
has had little effect one way or the
other. OF course, it does not apply
on existing contracts, and 1t is looked
upon chiefly as a caution to dealers to
close their fall contracts in good sea-
son. Very little new business has been
done and the holiday on Wednesday
added to the blank in trade.
Production in June was larger and
that for July will probably show we'll
also, though there is some talk of a
general restriction in mining. There is
a general feeling, however, that good
stocks on hand for the fall trade will
do no harm.
There is less activity in shipments
westward, as the Lake trade is well
supplied, or perhaps, over-supplled at
acknowledgements and Mining

The Iron Market.

The iron market continues in an un-
satisfactory condition. Although we
have closed the first half of the year
very little new business is reported.
The blast furnaces are generally keep
ing at work, though a few have gone
out since the first of the month, and
others are preparing to blow out. Some
of the Eastern furnaces which con-
tinuc have announced reductions in
wages. The Alabama furnaces are af-
fected by the trouble with the coal
miners.
The usual summer shutdown for re-
pairs in the rolling mills is reducing
production. How long the mills will
remain closed depends largely upon
the settlement of wages.-Engineerln

rSHE NATIONAL LEAG

SUVHE NATIONAL LEAGUE race
continues to be close and tight,
and a great fight is being fought
n for the leadership. Brooklyn con-
tinues playing fine ball. and
Philadelphia is playing a listless,
maudlin game, which will send the
Quakers down the ladder in short or
der, especially when the great work OF
Pittsburg and Chicago is considered.
The Pirates have now struck their
pace and are playing a great game.
Their pony pitchers are doing splendid
work, and the team is putting up fast,
snappy article of the national game.
Chicago seems to be playing little
beyond it's speed, and st. Louis, weak
ened by the absence from the game OF
some of it's cracks, is far down in the
race. while the New York Giants dis
mally bring up the rear. The Ameri-
can leaguers are at it hot and heavy,
and the fight for the leadership is fast
and exciting, Chicago and Milwaukee
leading at present and the other teams
being closely punched.

Rubin. The giant champion and the
big aspirant to the honors will give a
splendid fight, one which would be
full of interest, from the standpoint Of
the spectators at the ringside. Both
men are specimens of the genus

whose work tells in the end better than
the so-called scientific boxers. A few
remarks about the men above, will
give some slight testimony to the truth
of this assertion. Jeffries, champion of
the world has been fighting only about
three years, and in that short time
has pummeled his way to the top notch,
stepping over the bodies of ex-
champions one after the other, victims

been in the ring but seven years, and
Sailor Sharkey who despite the above

lie fat; the Frenchman makes use of
a leather purse with no distinguishing
characteristics, while the German uses

fair hands of some Lottchen or Nina.
The half civilized capitalist from some
torrid South American city carries his

belts are very expensive. The Italian

.,.s b. b. Made to Disappear. .=.'@
Worry is the most insidious enemy
we have, and though men are attacked
sby it, women seem, from the condi-
tions of their life, to be it's special VIC
TINS. It takes us unawares, like a,
thief in the night, and we suddenly
awake to the fact that it has taken up
it's abode with us. It~does not depart
SO readily. Sinbad's old man of the
sea was not harder to shake off; mean
while it is busy sapping our mental
and bodily vigor. It :absorbs the
strength, it lessons the brain power,
attacks the digestion, weakens the eye
sight,: turns the half gray, and adds
many years to- ones life in a few
weeks. Though we know all this, we
simply acquiesce; we are worried and
accept the fact. But what we fail to
realize about it Is just the simple fact
that the worry is in us; that we can
drive it away, since il is something
quite apart from the outside troubles
that cause this same deadly worry
First of all, we should take ourselves
in hand, and that, too,. pretty soon. A
woman we know was beginning to
give way to worry. Her business went
wrong, and she was full of gloomy
forebodings, when one day she reused
herself; she went to her doctor and
asked him for a tonic. In few days
she began to find that matters were
not nearly so bad as she had thought.
Next she forced herself to cultivate a
hopeful attitude of mind, and before
few weeks were past she was herself
again, and her business affairs had
ceased to weigh upon her mind. But
what we need is something that will
strengthen us against worry before it
comes. Some people are born with a
ssanguine, CHEEKY temperament, others
are not. These last should make it
sacred duty to cultivate tempera-
ment that will stand tlrm and serene
before fortunes keenest arrows. b We
can do it. If we&say we cannot we
confess thar we are not masters of
self-a humiliating confession that
amounts to our charging ourselves
with abject cowardice. X, sSs#j5

Mr. Marconi is; a very young man,
not yet thirty years Of age. Born at
bologna, but of, English parentage on
his mothers side, he speaks fluent and
perfect Eng1isH With a ashghtly foreign
gravity of.manner which bellies his
youth. He Is,- as he processes, an am
ateur electrician, and exceedingly mod
est as regards his accomplis in
comparison with some of the no doubt
well meaning chroniclers who have
even unduly belauded them. He has
been, according to the Pail Mall Maga-
zine, about four. years at work on the
particular subject of wireless teleg-
raphy,' carrying out many experiments
on his family estate near Bologna be-
fore he discovered the important fact
that electric waves generated by a
sparkling apparatus of the kind used
by the lamented German physician,
Heinrich Hertz; would not only carry

one and three-quarters miles. With
his original apparatus for transmitting

land in 1896 and succeeded in getting
the patronage ;of-the British postal off,
cials, under whose auspices he Carried
out signaling experiments on Salisbury
plain and, at .Penarth. Since then, he
has gradually improved both his meth
ods and his records, the distance tray
ersed by shis etheric signals being in
creased successfully from fourteen and
a half miles, between alum Bay and

Bay to Poole), and thirtytwo miles, the
present maximum. obtained between
two stations erected at the instance of
the French government on Dover cliff,
close to the South ,Forefand lighthouse,
and at Wimereux, near. Boulogne. In
addition to this Mr.. Marconi has made
successful experiments in carrying on
signals between ships and the shore,
a permanent installation having been
at work for some time between the
South Foreland station and one of the
Goodwin lightships
