THE FANOMANIAC.

His friends are worried and concerned,
his actions are so strange;
They watch him closely every day while
hoping for a change.
His eyes have got a crazy roll, an idiotic
CLINT
sort of circus chimpanzee expression
in their squint.
His face, once fair to look upon. Is
drawn all out of shape
Until at times tbs hard to tell if he is a
man or ape;
Through no rru,bbSeTing he has acquired a
parbolic back,
And every symptom stamps him as a
fanomaniac
Before the umpire calls the game un-
easily he'll sit
Upon warmed bleaching board in
an impatient fit,
And with a corrugated brow he'll watch
the practice play.
And wonder if the active chumps have
time to throw away
Hell writhe and twist upon the seat,
will cross his legs, and then
With restless, half inuIgnant jerk, un
cross the stems again,
Lean forward in observing pose, then
YEARLY lean back
Suspense is damnable unto the fano-
maniac!
At last the play begins; then comes wild
frenzy in his eyesi
His breath seems blazing as the ball
across the diamond fiesi
His hands are clenched his teeth are
set. his face is punched into
wrinkled mass of agony most pitiful
to view
And when fav'rite at the bat the pitch
ers curves has caught
And gives the swift and whirling ball a
most tremendous swat.
He jumps upon his feet and yells until
- his face is black, azs- ...-
And spasms shake the framework of the
fanomaniac!
At every score he throws a fit and some
times two or three;
home run fills his bosom fun If idiotfc
glee; t.ta. Ettt
A double play starts every nerve to
dancing with delight,
And when a fielder takes a fly his ac-
tions are a sight!
All through the game he'll sit and yell
and spank his smarting hands
And stamp his feet till blistered as If
burned by desert sands;
No victim ever bound upon the dreadful
torturipg rack
Fer writched in such contortions as the
fanomaniac!
He talks C ball all through the day; he
dream of bail at night;
His .yells IN visions of the game fill
hearers with alright
Now swat 'er. Casey; Break err face!
Cut loose an bust 'er hidei
Now, git there! Pat the ground. you
He wakes at dawn, sweat oozing out
from every leaking pore,
The bed clothes tied in double knots,
half of them on the floor.
And nothing but the seasons close can
bring the Senses back

Lewis Cass Ledysrd that further discus
sion as to WHISTLER the Independence
shall meet the Constitution ia the trisj
races Is useless In a Communication
sent to Mr.. Ledyard from Boston TODAY
Mr.. Lawson says 30, But Mr. Lawson
does not state specifically that he will
not finally accede to the ultimatum as
laid down by the committee of the New
York Yacht club. Mr.. Lawson still has
chance to race his boat against the
Constitution In the trial races by Char-
tering his boat to some member of the
New York Yacht club.
Secretay Oddie was seen at the club
house tonight ana said:
so far as the club is concerned the
incident is closed Mr.. Lawson knows
the way he can get into the trial races.
All he has to do IS to say the word,
charter his boat to one Of our members
and the way viii be clear to him.
''Mr. Lawson's letter In reply to Com
modore Ledyards most recent communal
cation, 1 saw in the papers 1t would
indicate that Mr.. Lawson will not ac-
cede to the terms Of our rules. He does
not say so, however, in so many words
There is still a chance for Mr.. Lawson
to have his boat meet the Constitution
in the trial races"
Mr. Oddie was asked about the races
off Newport early in July. Those races
he said, ARE given under the auspices of
the Newport Racing association This
year they have made class for ninety
footers. I don't know whether Mr.. Law
son has entered his boat or not, but
there is little doubt but that the Con-
stitution will be participant in tho
races"

IMPORTS OF THE JAPANESE.
America Runs Only Second to Great
Britain in Machinery Line.

WASHINGTON. June 8.-The United
States is surpassed only by Great Brit
ain in the matter Of japanese imports Of
machinery, locomotives and other en-
gines, according to q communication re-
reived at the state department from
United States Consul General Bellows, at
Yokohama. Great Britain, he says con-
tinues TO receive more than half OF the
money sent out Of Japan for these man
ufacturers. while the United States re-
ceiVed little more than one-fourth last
year. The total amount invested in
this class of manufacturers by the Jap
anese last year was s. Ga, $40, about one
fifth being for locomotive engines. The
total mileage Of Japanese railway lines
equals BIB miles but Il has been esti-
mated says Consul Bellows, that 1000
miles of railroad would not suffice for
the needs Of the empire.
A Japanese expert VIVA has lately trav-
eled in the leading countries Of the world
to study their railroad construction and
management. is reported to have said
that the United States surpasses all
other countries in the equipment Of It's
roads in every respect, except with re-
gard to the locomotives. which he OBJ
jected to because of their greater con-
sumption of coal.
America, says Consul General Bel

the rails used in Japan, having surpassed

DISCUSSED THE BALKANS.
Deputies in italian Parliament Point
Out ItaIy1s AnOmaIous Position

ROME, June 8.-Signor Guiccardini, the
reporter OF the budget committee, speak
ing in the chamber Of deputies today on
the Albanian question, said it was in his
opinion critical, as the movement in Ma
cedonia might precipitate surprise at
any moment. Italy, he declared, could
not be the puppet of any power, whether
of the first or second rank. She had
already suffered at Bizerta, but she could
not accept another Bizerta at ValIona or
Durazzo. He cited a series of incidents,
which he maintained went to show that
the propaganda was carried on in AL
bania by Austria-Hungary, and asked
whether such a propaganda was recon-
cilable with the declarations made at
Vienna and Rome regarding the main
tenance of the status quo, which, in his
opinion, was unstable.
Other speakers referred to the unrest in
the Balkans.
These utteranoes, taken In connection
with Count Goluchowskfs recent speech,
indicate that the statesmen fear trouble
is imminent in Southeastern Europe
The foreign minister, Signor Prineti,
had been expected to make an important
speech, but his address was postponed.

WHAT DIRECTOR ROBERTS HAS
TO SAY REGARDING COINAGE
FOR THE PHILIPPINES
TWO PLANS ARE PROPOSED
One Provides for Practically Free
Coinage of IA Substitute for Mex
lean DOlIar-SecOnd to Make
Token Dollars"

DENVER, June 8--The Times today
publishes an interview with George e
Roberts, director Of the mint, regarding
the proposition for the establishment of
O mint ait Manila.
Il have heard nothing about the mat
ter since the adjournment Of congress, %
said Mr.. Roberts. ''but / kow IL is re-
ceiving the attention of the war DEPART
ment, which IS obtaining all the informa-
ton on the subject. Army officers seem
to favor the establishment of q mint at
Manila, and an effort to substitute
American coinage for the Mexican now
in general use. There Is considerable
opposition, however, as it is certain that
any attempt to push the American dollar
and redeem 1t in gold would precipitate
commercial disturbances that might re-
suit in disaster. Secretary Gage is op-
posed to it, and l am inclined 20 think
that this plan Will not be adopted.
TWO PLANS PROPOSED.
1.-TWO plans have been proposed The
first Of these IS to establish a free mint
at Manila for the making Of a Philip
pine dollar, interchangeable with the
Mexican dollar and redeemable at fixed
price in gold. Under this plan producers
of silver would sell their products to es-
adjustments having trade relations with
the East, which would have 1t coined
at the Manila mint and put IN circula-
ton. This is the plan adopted by tne
British government, which coins an In
Ola dollar which Is circulated from tho
Straits settlement. and has go far been
successful in competing with the Mex
lean dollar and the rupee.
1.-THE second plan is to have a token
dollar about the size of the American
dollar with enough less silver to pre-
vent it from going to the melting pot
or out of the country, interchangeable
with the Mexican dollsl and redeema-
