Baseball i'm Porto Rico.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. 12.-Base-
ball is becoming a great fad here. Most Of
the American colony are great fans"
Several clubs have been organized, and
nearly every Saturday afternoon a game
is PLAYED between two picked mines. The
interest became so great that a league
was proposed. The plan took well with
tie people, and six clubs have been formed
from the clerical force of the various gov
eminent offices. A number of Americans
EMPLOYED by private concerns and several
Porto Ricans are members of the different
clubs. All the clubs have sent to the
United states for uniforms. Grounds have

thanking the members OF the New York
delegation of the Chamber of M

Yesterday was the last day for the
transmission of bills from one house to
the other-bills hat have passed but
one house. While the house will be in
session this morning-as part of the 58th
day-the senate does not meet until the
expiration of the house legislative day
and under the joint rules senate bills
cannot be sent to the house and house
bills cannot be messaged to the senate
'today, without a suspension of the rules.
Doubtless there are quite a number of
bills in each house to be messaged and
If it was not for the fact that bills
cannot be messaged from one house to
the other except when both houses are
in session the senate might dispose of
ITS bills this morning. AS several i'm
portant senate bills are still in the pos
session of the senate-adjournment hav-
ing been taken before they had been
a1essaged to the house-it is probable
that a suspension of the rules will be
granted for the purpose of messaging
{ iese measures.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Scribes.

Representative Palmer naturally feels
pretty good over the fact that his irriga,
ton bill passed both houses without a
dissenting vote. Ned has been a good
representative for his county and can re.
turn home we'll satisfied with his record
Sergeant-at-Arms Harrison received
word of sickness in his family and Mrs
Harrison left for home last night. Dur.
ing her stay in Bismarck Mrs. Harrison
has made many friends who hope the
bad news does not mean anything ser.
ious.
Representative Hall was away up in
the clouds yesterday, all because his
constituents had sent him a very hand.
some gold watch and chain, it being a
token of regard from the teachers, pu,
pills and citizens generally, in recogni,
ton of his eight years service to the
county as county superintendent. 1t
was a gracious way Of expressing their
good will, and the many friends in the
legislature and Bismarck of the man
from Nelson rejoice with and congratu-
late him.
Representative Packard is philosopbic.
His bill for reform school bonds called
for $4,000. the House cut the amount to
$4,000, and the senate knocked it down
to $4,000, in which the judge acquiesced
with becoming grace and goes home re-
joicing that at last the hopes of his peo-
pie will be grati6ed with a fine state
building. Packard, by the way, is one
of the best members of the house. He
has looked for the needs of the slope in
splendid shape and if he has not been
able to get all he has gone after it is
dead sur no one else could have done
any better.
There has been not a little surprise ex-
pressed by the folks at both ends of the
capitol at the peculiar tactics of Repre-
sentative Leech in regard to certain mea-
sures he has been pushing through the
legislature. He was elected as a repub-
lican and until lately all supposed he was
true to the party, but when he devotes
his best efforts to getting a Pop measure
passed, and signed by the governor, too,
the boys think it time he should be
brought before the House bar. 1t has
just come out that he has long been
associated with pops and is even now en-
gagged in the manufacture of-soda pop.
Among the good fellows having a good
time during their stay in the capital is
Dan Ross, the handsome and debonair
treasurer of Cass county. Daniel has
all the elements of the best, and where
ever he goes makes friends right and
left. He is a great parti, as the ladies
say, and there will be sad hearts
among the fair sex when he leaves, it
not being generally known that he is
soon to lead to the altar one of Fargo's
fairest daughters. 1t is said he was
instrumental in having Leech with
draw his divorce bill, the latter gentle
man being authority for the statement
that Dan don't propose to take any
chances on his wife's breaking away.

THE BUSINESS.
a Huge Long Island Industry Which
Prospers by War.

Prospers by War.
Few people know that more than half
the banjo and drum heads sold in the
United States are made on Long Is
land. Near the railroad station at
Cold Spring is a little red building sur
rounded by frames, in which skins are
stretched for drying, while near by is
an artificial pond, with wooden sides
and bottom, filed with a chemical mix
ture. 1t is an unp%retentious establish
n2ent, but in our two wars and in the
peace between it has fathered a great
deal of noise. The business was estab-
lished in 1860, and success was almost
Immediate. Competition was strong
after the rush of war orders was over,
but the business has advanced in i'm
portance until now there are but three
factories in this country whose opposi-
ton can be felt. Two of these are in
Brooklyn and the other at High View,
\. Y.
New York markets furnish the salt
ed raw skins from which the drum
heads are made. The hair is removed
from the skins by a chemical bath in
she artificial pond, and the skins are
then stretched on the racks and dried.
\ thorough scraping removes any par
ticles Of fat Or flesh that may have
adhered to the dried skin, which is
then the thickness Of parchment. The
skins are thoroughly bleached in the
drying process and are then ready for
cutting into heads. During the Span
fsh-American war the factory was fair
swamped with orders for drum
heads, 500 dozen heads often being or.
sdered at one time. The principal de-
mand was for the ''tenor" drum, on
which a loud accompaniment to the
dfe or bass instrument can be pro
aiuced. d
Kangaroo skins make the costliest
aIrumheads. When dressed, they are
skowy, but beyond their appearance
and name they are of no greater value
than heads made from calfskin. Sheep
IL used for cheap toy drums

"Resubmission laid away for another
Two years." is the way the Fargo Call
looks at it. The Call might have added
that resubmission is laid away-so far as
republicans are concerned-as long as
the plank in the state platform calls for
"no change in the present law and a
strict enforcement of the same"
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1901-03-07

The Fargo Call thought the Murphy
bill might pass in which event Fargo
wo uld have twelve aldermen to elect
next spring. The merits of that bill
were never seriously discussed. 1t pro-
vided that aldermen should be elected
for four years. In small cities and a
new country where people are moving
around as much as they are in Bismarck
for instance, it is doubtful if that pro-
vision was a wise one. Two years is long
enough at present. But it's a waste of
time to discuss the measure now. 1t
died very quickly after it's true paternity
was discovered.
