FAVOR THE OLD RULE.
A Batter May Get n Pase When Hit
by Pitched Ball.

President Nick Young said last night
that he had received replies from ma
jority OF the league clubs favoring a re-
turn to the old rule giving player his
base for being hit by a pitched ball I'M
less he plainly avoided making any eff
fort to get out of the way of the ball
from the pitcher and thereby permitted
himself to be so hit.
This rule was abolished at the spring
meeting, but so many protests have been
made against it that the question was
submitted to the different clubs. In view
of the replies already received the rule
will undoubtedly be reinstated.

Two young ladies in a certain city are
employed down town and rent a small
fat, where they do light housekeeping.
Frequently they are invited out evenings
and the subject of meals is puzzler.
OF late they have solved the problem by
keeping some nice rich milk or cream

Grape-Nuts near by.
In thirty seconds the meal IL ready and
Il is a most fascinating meal, too, for the
creamy taste blends with the peculiar

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
Rear Admiral Schiey's Son Says They VIII
Be Brought to Light When the
Inquiry Begins.

Salt Lake City, July 2o.-The Her
aid to-day printed the following:
Capt. Thomas F. Schley, eldest son of
Admiral Winfield S. Schley, who is
stationed at Fort Douglass, in this
city. yesterday outlined some points
that viii be brought out in the court
of inquiry as to his fathers conduct
at the battle of Santiago. He de-
clared that some startling facts will
be brought to light if the whole
truth shall become known, and that
the regulations of persons other than
his father are likely to suffer.
Capt. Schley is an officer of the
Twenty-third infantry, in command at
F"rt Douglas. Although he has not
had letter from his father since
the court of inquiry was ordered, he
is familiar with the question at issue
and pointed out some of the facts
that will be urged in the admiral's
defense. when the court of inquiry
meets" said Capt. SchIey, 81 would
lie to have the privilege of asking
Admiral Sampson just one question:
IF the battle of Santiago had re-
suited in defeat, to whom would the
blame have been attached?' This, 1
think, tells the situation in a nut

battle he would have been blamed.
He won it and he should have the

edifice, was badly cracked by the vio-
lence of the vibrations, and other
buildings were slightly damaged.

preceded and followed by rather re-
markable meteorological phenomena.

the air was perfectly still while the
heat was extremely oppressive. A
few minutes after the shock, however.
u violent wind and rainstorm, accom-
panied by heavy thunder and light
ming, burst over the city, the rain
continuing for several hours. AT

Delegates to Baptist Young Peoples Con-

Against Cards and Dancing.

which money is raised for our

abOmination," said Rev. w. D. Nowlin,
of Lexington, KY, in addressing a
meeting of the Baptist Young Peo-
pies union. 1t was accepted as the
sense of the conference that every
church member ought to give one
tenth of his income to the church, no
matter what it amounted to. Rev.
F. F. Jordan, of Grand Island, Neb.,
declared dancing, card playing and the
theater was wholly out of the ques-
ton. 'In some of our young peoples
societies. said Rev. Mr.. Jordan, 1.-The
desire for amusement comes danger
ously near supplanting the desire for
a higher spiritual life. Our amuse-
ment tends to lead young people to
forget the high calling which is open

treasurer, II. c. Clossold, Chicago; re-
cording secretary, H. w. Reed, Toron-

Registration by Districts.

Ell Reno, Ok, July 29.-The regis
tration for homesteads in the new
country by districts is: FL Reno dis
trict, 10000; Lawton district, So, 900.
approximately there are $500 claims
in each district. This would give a
person in the Ell Reno district one
chance in IL to win a claim and in
the Lawton district one chance in IA.
A special to the American from
Lawton last night said: The Presby-
terians are the first to establish a
church at Lawton. Yesterday min
lister of that denomination from Kan
sas secured a big tent, used as sleep
ing quarters and held religious serv-
ices. Several men made up the choir
and after the sermon the meeting
was turned into a revival. Six home
seekers were converted.
There were last night 5000 people
around the townsite, waiting for Aul-
gust 6 so they can buy lots and be-
gin business. A telegram from Law
ton says the Texans intend to or
ganize the future city government of
that town after it is opened for set
Element, August 6, and have selected
Bat Carr for marshal.
It is said that some of the 16O-acre
farms adjoining town sites will be
valued at SIS, 900 and $4,000 each, and
that such sums might be secured
for them were it possible to pass a
title. But it will require Is months
residence on the part of the bona
fide settler to secure an absolute til
tie to the lands, and this time must
elapse before sale can be made. The
town site property will be sold at
auction commencing August 6, and
the department expects that the
record of highest prices for govern
ment town site property will be eX-
ceeded by several thousand dollars
per lot.
