AN ARMED TRUCE
Between the Two Great Baseball
Leagues Is Now On.

New York. Dec. 1S.-Ban Johnson.
president of the American League, left
for Chicago. Wednesday. Before go
ing he announced that there would be
= peace conference between commit
tees representing the American and
National Leagues on Jan. ;, and that
the rival magnates would probably
come together either ut Cleveland or
Cincinnati.
A sort of armed truce has been de-
clared between the two Leagues" said
President Johnson, and it will remain
that way until something definite has
been decided upon ut the peace con-
ference. This means that neither
League can make hostile move as
regards the signing of players. but il
will not prevent either League from
completing other arrangements for the
coming season.
The whole situation involves Il
great deal of careful thought. and l
must first confer with my colleagues in
regard to certain conditions to be
named in % possible treaty between
the League AS far as | can see. il
looks as ii We would come to some
amicable agreement. providing the Ma
tional League men are willing to
stand for two major Leagues and an
American League club in New York
city.
There is no doubt that the question
of players salaries has brought about
the negotiations which We're begun, last
week. but the American League will
live up 10 every contract ii has made
frl.n ph lt he
salary may be. and that it will never
admit To its ranks those players who
have jumped contracts and signed with
The opposition.
The American League intends tC
stop the contract breaking evil, even
If we have to continue the war to
case of determination. Contract jump
ers have shaken the public faith in the
national game. and. in my opinion, all
of them should be run out of the bust

Providence opera house next week.
"The bohemian Girl" is familiar en-
ertainment IL has been frequently pro-
uced on the stage OF the Providence
Ipera house. and has been counted one OF
he most attractive pieces OF an operatic
haracter that are given there.
The opera Is distinguished not for the
nndeur OF It's melody, but for It's beauty

pieces as any that can be mentioned at
Ibis moment Their fame and durability
IS due 10 their purely artistic composition.
II is a pleasure TO say that In these per-

Fingers Of the Providence company will
be able TO appear at their very best.

JOY in Work.

1t may be proved, with much certainty.
that God intends no man TO live In this
world without working. but It seems no
less evident that He intends every man
TO be happy In his work. II is written,
I'm the sweat Of thy brow" but II was
never written ''in the breaking OF thine
heart" thou shalt eat bread; and l ned
that. as on the one hand infinite misery
is caused by idle people. who both fail IN
doing what was appointed for them to 90
and set In motion various springs or ms
chief in matters in which they shou:d
have no concern. SO. on the other hand
no small misery is caused by overworked
and unhappy people IN the dark views
which they necessarily take up them
selves aad force upon others OF work Ia
self. Were IL not so. / believe the fact
OF their being unhappy Is In itself a viola
ton OF Divine law and q sign OF some
kind OF folly or sin I'm their way OF life
Now. In order that people may be happy
In their work. there three things are
needed They must be fit for Il, they
must not do too much OF IT, and they
must have a sense OF success In it-not a
doubtful sense, such as needs some esri-
mony OF other people for itconhremation,
but sure sense. or rather knowledge
that so much work has been done well
and faithfully DONE whatever the world
may say or think about it.--Ruskin.

one else in the vicinity.

melee: that he was walking along Main

complications may arise from the bullet
