President Roosevelt Ia swinging
around the circle" in New England.
Last week he was in Massachusetts, and
states to the south; this week he is in
Maine.
Az Providence, last Saturday. and
again at Boston, Monday, he talked
about trusts. He thinks all the great
corporations should be subject to Ma
tionaI authority, and he praises the
corporation laws OF Massachusetts,
which provide program very different
from that of New Jersey, under which
all the great trusts Of the country are
doing business today.
There will be no tinkering with the

At Rockport, early last Sunday morn

past the defending squadron, and sur

Navy entered into it with spirit; though
decisions ON points are not interesting
to the general public, because not un-
derstood.
One Of the events Of the week was the
reappearance in New York city OF Mr..
J, Pierpont Morgan. the man who Is
popularity supposed to hold the settle
ment OF the anthracite coal strike in the
hollow OF his hand. He was at once be-

There was a break in the Cabinet Of
President Palma Of Cuba last week. His
Secretary of Agriculture resigned, be-
cause his plan to relieve the embarrassed
sugar planters was not carried out.
In Venezuela the Insurgents now
hold several seaports South American
revolutions usually fail because the
revolutionists are unable to establish
communication with the outside world
and to draw supplies from abroad.
From this point Of view the prospects
Of the movement against Castro are
distinctly promising. The blockade
which he sought 10 establish has been
declared ineffective and all the indica-
tions point to his early deposition.

OIL NOTES.

The Market-Both agencies are pay
ing s1.22.
Petrolia-Charley Parker, Dell Reed
and others OF Butler are getting some
good 4th-sand wells on the old Parker
farm, near Criswell, and besides this
one Specify sand gas well there has
pressure OF 900 pounds.
Harmony-The Mccall Gas Co. has a
duster In the 100-foot on the Fred. Uhl
farm and is drilling to the third sand.
Allegheny county--In the old Mont
gomery field Eisler 81 O'Brien have
drilled their No. on the Jacob Schwab
farm 20 feet into the sand and the well
is flowing at the rate Of 40 barrels a
day. The same company's No. A on the
Charles Porter farm is 10 feet in the
sand and showing for an 8-barrel
pumper.
Speechley-The South Penn has struck
three 25-barrel wells, located ON the Os-
borne heirs, J. J. Campbell and Stew
art Hindm an farms. The last farm is
now reckoned by oilmen to be worth
800, 900.
Eisler 81 O'Brien struck good well
on the Ashbaugh, in the Montgomery
field.
Brush Creek-Fred. Leidecker has
3 barrel well in the Speedily at 2S00
feet.
Our enterprising neighbor the Pitts
burg Times, on Monday last. had an
article from Prof Garmett at Wash
ington City, giving the derivation of
names OF streams and places In Western
Pennsylvania. some OF which he de
rives from Indian origin or Indian
words. Among these Is our own Como
quenessing creek. Its name. he says,
comes from an unpronouncable Indian
word meaning For q long ways
straight" Now as there Is nothing
very straight" about the Connoque-
Messing we think there is some mistake
about this origin Of its name. 1t is in
fact very crooked stream and some Of
our early settlers. we are told, said the
Indian ward meant crooked creek rather
than straight" creek. But the best
authority on the question says the
Indian word Connoquenessiug meant a
stream OF very green and grassy banks.
this would seem probable as the bands
Of our Connoquenessing have certainly
thick groth Of green particularly OF
willows, that Ia on no other stream we
know Of to the extent IL is on this.
The writer, we think, is equally in
error in giving an Indian derivation to
Slipperyrock creek 1t was called Slip
peryrock simply because its bed or bot
tom formation is composed Of slippery
stone and there Is nothing Indian In or
about its name, nor need to be.

BROWNS LOST MASCOT.
Little Fellow Made Fun of Burkett
and Had to Clear Out.

From the st. Louis Republic.
This story tells the sad tale of how Terry
McGovern Mclaughlin Burkett, the midget
who was the Browns official mascot last
spring. came to lose his job.
If there Is one thing Jesse Burkett likes
better than his life 1t is his collection of
bats. He fondles and talks to them just
as dearly as any mother does to her chill
dren.
The 'fans" will remember that Burkett's
bingling was woefully weak in the early
games the Browns played. Terry" who
deserted with Burkett. Wallace ct al. from
Robinsonville, was doing mascot duty just
like he had the preceding campaign at
League Park.
Burkett, after the first two weeks had
Melted him batting mark of some O96%,
got his sticks in a bunch one afternoon be-
fore the game and looked them over
Whats the matter? Gone back on the
old boy?" asked Burkett. as he held the
bats up. well, you've been overworked
of late and I'll let you take rest. There"
and 1.-The crab laid the stick down ten
derby.
To each and every stick did he deliver an
grafton, caressing each In turn.
1t was too much for Terry" Turning
around to Wallace, he calculated, jess is
crazy, sure"
Burkett heard the remark.
You to the tall sycamores. Back to the
National League. Make your getaway"
Terry" did, and to this day he hasn't
been within the confines of Sportsman's
Park

KENNEDY TALKS.
Confirms Report That He Will Run
New York American League Club.

The announcement that James c. Ken
needy, the wel:known fight promoter, had
been selected as the man to lead the Ameri-
can League forces in New York, and that
within few days he would publicly give
out the location of the new American
League grounds in that city. together with
other plans of the Johnson organization,
tional food for reflection when they went
into session yesterday at the league head
quarters in the ST James building.
Mr.. Kennedy was seen at his Office in
New York last evening and said Il am
sorry that this thing hastbecome public just
at this time Within two or three days it
was my intention to publicly announce my
connection with the American League.
There are one or two important details to
be arranged yet. 1 expect to see Ban John
son shortly.
THE location of suitable playing ground.
of course is the chief thing that must be
contended within New York to make an
American League invasion successful. We
have several sites under consideration, any
one Of which we can get. A deal may be
closed at any minute. AS far as the money
for financing a team here goes, you can
say that l have one of the most influential
and wealthiest men in the city back of me
in this thing, and l have been promised the
very pick of players.
THE announcement of my connection
with the matter was ill-advised just at
present and may block one or two little
matters. The whole thing will be definite
ly settled in a very short time, however,
and then the public will be told everything
concerning our plans"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BOUT.
Large Delegation From This City Will
Attend Tonight's Fight.

1t is expected that a big crowd of local
sports will go to Baltimore this evening to
see the twenty round bout between Kid
Sullivan, the District champion, and Joe
Bernstein, the New York crack, which is to
take place at the Germania Maennerchor
Hall. The weigh: limit has been agreed
upon at 1913 pounds, and it is safe to say
that both men will probably weigh in at
least one pound lighter
Bernstein has boxed Terry McGovern
twenty-five rounds, defeated Harry Lyons,
fought Dave Sullivan three 2O-round draws
and upon recent occasion boxed Spike
Sullivan fourteen hard rounds, with Sulli-
van weighing 1873 pounds and Bernstein ia
pounds. Sullivan is said to be in prime
condition for the fray, and SO confident
are his friends that he will win tonight
that special car has been chartered to
take them over to witness the bout.
Sullivan Is a clever fighter, and, like
Bernstein, is a hard puncher. He has sue
cessfully fought Sammy Meyers, Jack b.
Ian, Billy Whistler and other weE-known
feathers.
Young Corbett the champion feather
weight of the world, has agreed to meet
the winner of the Bernstein-Sullivan bout
at Baltimore on the 9th Of October.

to a successful beginning of the open tour
nament of the Nassau, N. j., Country Club
yesterday. There were seventy-one start
ers.
The rain came down in sheets and the
competitors were drenched before they
reached the first green; but they kept on,
and the scores made, regardless Of the
soggy condition of the links were aston
fishing, and in many cases equal to those
made under the most favorable conditions
In fact, 1t was one Of the most represen-
tative fields of golfers seen in any tourna-
ment this season, and 1t would have been
a credit to the east had the same field of
experts taken part in the amateur cham
pionship at Chicago.
c. B. Cory won the prize for the lowest
score in the qualifying round with an 80
and Walter j. Travis, Charles H. Seeley,
the Connecticut champion, and Frank H.
Croker were tied at 81. Sixty-nine cards
were returned and four sets of sixteens

NATIONAL MAGNATEs ADJOURN.
President Hart Admits That Few
Players Will Desert Ban Johnson.

The National League officials finished
their two days confab yesterday in New
York, and dispersed until the annual meet
ing in December. John T. Brush again said
the meeting was for discussion of general
matters, and that no decided action had
been taken. If any plan of withstanding
the American League enemy was agreed
upon or even conceived it was not made
known. The National League men appear
to be in the dark as to the American
Leagues intentions regarding New York
and in other respects. They as good as
admit that they do not know what the
American has up its sleeve for New York
city. The fact that the elusive Johnson,
there while they had their heads together
has not added to their peace of mind.
Jim Hart of Chicago said yesterday that
one of the things talked over by the Ma
tionals was what players the different clubs
had in line for next year. He admitted
frankly that little was looked for in the
jumping line, and, judging from his re-
marks there will not be much of an exodus
of American League players to bolster up
holes In the Nationals playing forces. Not
nearly as many players will jump as was
thought said Mr.. Hart. Most of them
seem to prefer to stick to their own or
ganiZations.'
After observing that If the American
League had grounds in New York 1t was
welcome to them Mr.. Hart was asked If
the American had made any overtures for
peace.
NO" he answered: land the American
is, as l see it, that no peace is wanted until
the American completes its circuit. and it
will regard it's circuit as complete only
when it takes in New York and Pittsburg."
ANY talk of the National increasing its
circuit?'
None whatever"
