the situation as follows:

Charles F. Scott returned yesterday
from Colorado. where he has taken a
short vacation with his family.
Il cut my vacation shorter than
usual,' Mr.. Scott said this morning, lin
order to attend a number of old SOL
diers' reunions, and other non-politica1
gatherings which are being held in va
rious parts of the state. 1 may attend
some political meetings, but think the
state committee, to whose direction \

nave. the campaign go into full force
and effect until about September Is.
Of course it is always dangerous to
predict maiorities, and yet 1 do not see
why the Republican state ticket should
not be elected by $4,000 more. Kan
sas gave Mckinley 26 900 plurality two
years ago, when fusion was complete
and when the opposition was inspired
by tie remembrance of two consecutive
victories in presidential years. That
margin ought easily to be doubled with
law which no longer permits voters
to be deceived, and with the opposi-
tion utterly without an ISSUE either
state or national Two years ago the
people concluded to let well enough
alone. 1t certainly looks this year as

LEAP-YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
Unique Society i'm Berlin, Germany to Hold a Big Celebration
 in 1904.

Herr Monteur, a wealthy resident of Berlin, is over TO years old, but will celebrate his eighteenth birthday on February 29, 1904. He is president of the Berlin society of leap year chill dren, the one organization of it's kind in the world. The members have had no birthday celebration for eight years, the extra February day having been omitted in 1900 according to the rules of the reformed calendar. There fore the society is planning a great celebration on February 29, 1904, A committee of arrangements is already at work, and something extraordinary may be expected, as on account of the society's curious origin many prom inent persons have interested them selves in the matter, reports London paper.
 The month of February in 1886, by the way, was even more interesting than that which will be marked by the unique Berlin celebration. It had no full moon, and in that was the most re- markable in the worlds history, for never before had such thing occurred. January of that year had two full moons and so had March, but Feb ruary had none. How extraordinary this event was may be judged from the fact that according to the compute tion of astronomers it will not occur again for 2,5oo,0O0 years.

Parker then secured a double Nelson on Reinhardt and brought his shoul- ders down on the mat. The time was P minutes and 5 seconds. Without any rest Parker then went after Nat Love- the second man. Love weighed about 185 pounds and knew lot about wrestling. He was as slippery as all eel and had little trouble in staying the remaining 2 minutes and 57 sec onds.

Spirited Sport at Palace Hall With
 Young Heer in the Lead.

Young Heer in the Lead.
 Sixteen well seasoned pedestrians started yesterday afternoon in a six-day go-as-you-please race, eight hours a day, at Palace hall, S9 Grand street, Brooklyn. The aace began at 12 min utes after o'clock, and the principals were set in motion by Larry F. Car roll
 Cavanaugh and Dineen took the lead at the outset, but were soon overhauled by the youngster, Lawrence Heer. At the end of five hours and eight minutes Heer had covered fifty miles.
 Fay and Feeney quit during the af- ternoon. Feeney had nine miles to his credit, while Fay covered twenty weight miles, Despite the poor condition of the track the pace was rapid At 9 o'clock Castle withdrew. His score was thirty-six miles. Guerrero kept the crowd in excellent humor by his gro- tesque and funny antics, Hegelman's s showing was disappointing to his ad- mirers. He was forced to rest at 1O:30 and was seven miles behind the Iead- CTS at that hour. Following was the score at 12 o'clock:

THINGS WE
 LIKE. BEST
Why is it They so Seldom
 Auree With Us?

Whats the reason the things we like best so seldom seem to agree with usp Maybe it's because we overeat of them. Then follows 8 fit of indigestion. Only lasts day or two perhaps. But it's amOSt uncomfortable day or two. We don' 't mean to abuse our stomachs but we all do it more or less. We see things we want and can't resist the longing for them. When it's too late we regret our rashness. But there's a way to escape the conse- Quences of such indiscretions. A dose of a good digestant like Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
 Indigestion is always due to the same cause. Your stomach is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest. You can't rest it by going without food. That would mean starvation. But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it. It does the stOmach's work. In the mean time the tired organ is gaining fresh strength. Before long it will be as strong as ever. You don't have to diet. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will di- gest any kind of wholesome food.
 T had stomach trouble. four years.'' says Geo. R. Oolbath, Alpena, Mich, twhioh was so bad that at times was forced to remain in bed. At last was induced to try Kodol mediate relief and few bottles effected a complete cure"

The state department is to indulge itself with a new great seal of the United States, as the old one is so worn that it will not make clean-eut inn pression on the documents it is used on. Congress appropriated $1,2oo to have a new seal cut; but the old de- sign, of course, will be followed faith fully. Only three seals have been formed since the formation of the gov ernment, they having been made in 17Ss, 1s41 and 1885, respectively

PENNANT FOR INDIANAPOLIS.

Captures American Associations Flag
 by Winning Three Games Final Day.
 St Paul, Minn, Sept 23.-By winning three games yesterday from St Paul, Indianapolis captured the American as- sociation pennant The season closed yesterday. The race between Louis vile and Indianapolis was so close that failure to play out the full schedule by either club would have turned the scale against it, so when it was annodnced that Louisville and Minneapolis woulA play three games yesterday the Indian, apolis management agreed with the St Pauls to do likewise.
 The Louisyilles took all three games from Minneapolis. They won the sec ond and third, and the umpire awarded the first. to them, 9 to O, because Min neapolis failed to reach the grounds on time.

On Saturday Pitcher Callahan of the Chicago American league team added his name to the list of twirlers who have shut out opposing teams without a lit. Callahan's performance was against the Detroits, among whom are such good hitters as Barrett, Elber- field, Harley, McAllister and McGuire On several occasions this season pitch CTS have held their opponents down to a single hit, but Callahan's feat is the first mo hit' contest of the year in either the National or American leagues. As matter of fact it is the first mo hit'' game since Mathewson shut out St Louis without a hit on July 15 last year.
 This is q proud baseball year for the Penn, who are now able to boast of two pennants. The National league bunting will fly in Pittsburg once more, while the American league em- blem of supremacy on the ball field, having been carried off by the victor ious Athletics, will wave in Philadel- phia. This is baseball glory galore for one state. Quaker City fans are making great preparations to celebrate the triumph of the Athletics, which team is the first to win a pennant for. Philadelphia since the Athletics cap tured the American association flag in 1883.
 There were notable doings on the diamond last Saturday. One was Jimmy Callahan's feat in shutting the Detroits out without a hit. The Chi cago American pitchers performance was the first of it's kind this season and was all the more remarkable as Callahan has not been in good condi- .tion good part of the season. An other pitcher, Gardner of Toronto, won two games on Saturday, holding his opponents down to one hit in the first game and six i'll the second. The third notable happening was the bat ting of the Rochesters. They made thirty-seven hits in two games. Of this number Outfielder Hayden made six in one game including a home run, a triple. two doubles and two singles.
 Yesterday the champion Pittsburgs brought their total victories for the season up to 10D, feat which has been accomplished only three times be- fore in the history of the National league. h 1892 the Bostons won 102 games and lost AS: in 1898 they again won 102 games and lost 47, and in 1899 the Brooklyns won 101 games and lost 1T. Tn these years, however, the schedule was longer by ten games than it is this year, so the feat of the pres ent champions is more meritorious than the accomplishments of the Bos- tons and Broollyns Up to date the Pirates have played 134 games and they are scheduled for only two more contests, both of which are with Cin- cinnati They have four postponed games, and it is probable that none of these will be played off, so, while the champions may equal fhe great record of the Bostons they cannot excel it.

 Games Were Lost By Single Run. New Haven, Sept 23.-A comparison . bf the team records of Connecticut league baseball clubs for the season just closed shows that the champion New Haven and the Springfield clubs ran an exceedingly close race in every 9hing except games won- In total number Of runs New Haven had 6lo as against 626 for the Springfelds. In base hits the former had 965 as against 9S0 for the latter. The totals of the other clubs range from 564 for Norwich down to 437 for Bridgeport in runs. In base hits the smallest number was made by Bridgeport-S96 Norwich being credited with 962, Waterbury with 949, Meriden with 9l6, Hartford with 912 and New London with 904.
 In the average of base hits to runs New Haven and Springfield are ted at 1.57, an average they have main tained pretty closely all the season. Norwich comes nearest to them with a mark of LII; Meriden and New Lon don required IFS, Hartford 1.S3, Wa ferbury 1.90, and Bridgeport 200. In the series between clubs New Haven had a trif1e the best of the showing, winning from five clubs, losing with one, and tying with one, that with Springfield Springfield won four series, lost two and tied one.
 The season closed with little change in the team batting and fielding posi- lions. New Haven and Norwich are tied for first place in team batting with Springfield close second, having advanced by leaps and bounds during the last week of the season. Six clubs lead the champions in fielding, New London having the distinction of having made more errors than the leaders.
