one run and four hits off him, and
Toronto one run and five hits. His
release was purchased by the Kansas
City club, of the Western League, at
the close of that season, but he was
given little opportunity to show his
pitching ability in 1899, taking part
in only eleven games that year, seven
of which he won, and that, too, with
a team behind him that finished sew
enth in the Western League pennant
race. However, his work was suf-
ficiently satisfactory for Manager Man

Conditions VIII Make Her the Richest
Country In the World.
Conditions are improving rapidly in
Cuba, says Sir William Van Horne
who is engaged in the work of con-
structing a railroad in that country
The island has extraordinary recupera-
tive power, and, although it was prac-
tically devastated during the last revo-
luton, 1t is recovering with marvellous
rapidity. The sugar fields are being re-
planted, the mills are being rebuilt, but
money and labor are scarce. Every
man who wants to work can get good
wages, bigger than were ever paid be-
fore. A dollar a day Americana" is
considered great fortune by the ordi-
nary Cuban. He has never Jared so
well before, and his employment is a
guarantee of peace on the island. I'M
migration Is beginning to flow In.
During the last year about $4,000 la
borers arrived from Spain, Italy and
other countries, and every one of them
has been Immediately absorbed by the
sugar plantations. But the lack of
capital is great difficulty. Foreign
investors are shy, because of the un-
certain political status, but they will
gain confidence as they study the sit
uation, and will soon find that there is
no good ground for apprehension.
Property in Cuba is just as safe as
anywhere else, or we would not go
there. Our own investments are
sufficient answer to your inquiry. We
are spending millions of dollars upon
our faith in the stability of the Cuban
government whether it is annexation
or independence, and have no fear
The eastern part of the island raises
magnificent coffee, the best in the
world, but the crop has been limited
because coffee requires more capital
and labor, and sugar has paid better
profits. The three chief items-sugar,
| tobacco and cattle-however contain
no doubts or difficulties, and will make
Cuba the richest country of her area
in the world, for she can raise those
staples cheaper and better than any
other country. The capacity of her
production is practically unlimited and
| the volume of her product only de-
ponds upon the capital and the labor
| employed. The inhabitants of Cuba
are much better class of people than
represented. They average as well as
people of any other country in intelli-
gence, industry and morals, and will
make excellent citizens as soon as
they find out what lf-government

The intelligence displayed by an ele-
plant has been a source of much
amusement to the officers at one of the
English army posts in India. The
huge animal was accustomed to re-
ceiving pennies which 1t would drop
into a slot for a biscuit If given a
half-penny the elephant would throw
it back CONTEMPORARY, but one day a
boy gave it two half-pennies at the
same time. For several minutes the
animal held them in his trunk as
though bordering over their value. At
last he dropped the two together into
the slot, with the result that he got the
biscuit He appeared to know that he
had made an unusual discovery and
frisked around in the greatest delight.
To the onlookers it almost seemed as
though the principle Of addition had
penetrated the elephantine brain.

Largest Electrically Operated Draw


What is believed to be the largest
electrically operated drawbridge in the
world, says Electricity is the new one
over the Connecticut River at Middle
town. 1t consists of two fixed spans,
200 feet from center to center; two
fixed spans, 225 feet from center to cen
ter, and one draw span $50 feet from
center to center of piers. Although
the bridge is thirty miles from the sea
there Is tide of two and one-half
feet, and the highest known water
mark is twenty-five feet above low
water. The floor of the bridge is six
feet above the last elevation, making
the distance from the floor to low
water thirty-one feet. AS the bridge
was designed to have one trolley-car
track, and two lines for carriage travel,
1t was made twenty-six feet wide from
center to center of the trusses, while
provision was also made Tor connect
ing sidewalk brackets to the floor
beams when they should be needed.

managing the Baltimore American
league team, is without doubt one of
the best all-around ball players in the
business. He was born at Truxton,
N. Y, April 7, 1873. His first pro-
fessional engagement was with the
Olean team of the New York state
league in 1890, when but II years of
age The following winter he went to
Cuba with Al Lawson's team, repre-
senting Ocala, Fla, and in 1891 joined
the Cedar Rapids club of the Western
association. Before the season was
over Manager Barnie secured him for
the tail-end Baltimore club. The fol-
lowing winter McGraw made another
tour of Cuba. McGraw played sec
ond base for awhile in Baltimore, but
his remarkable talents were not APP
preciated until Hanlon took charge of
the team in the summer of 1892. Han
Ions keen eye at once saw the posi-
bilities of the little infielder, and he
placed him on third base, where he has
played ever since except during the
larger part of the season of 1896, when
he suffered from a severe attack of
typhoid fever. The prominent part Nc.

ships of 1894 and 1895 Tor the Balti-

the brainy young manager. He is
perhaps the frailest player in the big
league, yet he is stronger than he looks
and makes up in brains and skill what
he lacks in muscle. He excels in work
ing pitcher for bases on balls and
reaches first base more than any play
er in the country.
