Difficulty Over Grounds.

The University of Virginia is experience
ing trouble in securing place to play its
game with Harvard The event is sched-
uled to come off in this city on April IL.
and the collegians expected to secure the
American League park for this contest.
The game with Georgetown, however,
had been previously arranged and it is
doubtful il either the Senatorial or
Georgetown management will consent to
a change in the date. In the event that
this cannot be arranged the Virginians
will be in bad way. as unfortunately
there are no other grounds available.
The ball tossers from across the Poto-
mac may possibly be able to secure the
use of Georgetown field for their rough
house with the Crimson, but this is
doubtful. In any event the local college
is confident. OF securing the larger pOr-
tion OF the rooters, as they bank upon
the anxiety Of all loyal Washingtonians
to size up their major league team.

GrOunders Are Unreliable.

Considering that the diamond has not
been touched this season. the grounds are
in excellent condition. The boys are
little shy of going after grounders Last
Saturday Carey was playing back for
low grass-eutter. When the ball was
about ten feet away it suddenly rose in
the air and caught him wallop in the
wind. For several seconds Carey made
remarks that would not look well in print,
but he pluckily kept at work, and now
makes careful allowance for the eccen-
tricities of the ground
1t will require less than week to put
the park in excellent playing condition.

menced upon the arrival of Manager Loft

He will push things along at a rapid
clip. and long before April 90 the Ameri-
can League park will be one of the best
in the circuit.

Virginia Has Difficulty to Secure
Grounds for Harvard Game.

There was some fast work done out at
the league park yesterday. Carey was
hammering on the gate by o'clock in the
morning. and ten minutes later he had
donned his suit. and was doing stunts on
the diamond Inside of an hour Leon De-
montreville, Sammy DUNCAN, Bert Meyers,
and Harms had joined him. and during the
rest of the forenoon the horsehide was
passed around the iniield in lively man

and were hard at it again by 2 O'Clock.
The practice was fast and furious. The
stretch of warm weather for the past
week has enabled the players to let out
their salary wings. and the boys are
throwing as though there were no such
things as glass arms
Carey is rapidly working himself down,
and will be at razor edge when the sea-
son opens. He said yesterday that all
soreness is rapidly vanishing. and that he
has ceased to lie awake nights wishing
that he had not done it in the afternoon.
Sammy DUNCAN has reached his playing
weight. and is gamboling over the green
like two-year- old.

Widening London bridge.

Twenty years ago 1t was estiuatsd
that 100000 persons crossed London
bridge daily. 10000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles. With the growth OF
population these numbers have almost
doubled. IN spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the Tower bridge.
half mile down stream.
1t has therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity Of the
older bridge. and it has now been de-
cided to accomplish this by means Of
granite corbels which will carry the
footways as projections over the wa
ter on each side of the bridge. This will
increase the width OF the structure
from 531a feet to G5 feet. The present
solid parapct will he removed. and an
open balustrade will take its place. an
alteration which will compensate to
some extent for the extra weight of the
new corbels.
There are already two tube electric
railways beneath the Thames, aud q

the relief to traffic on the bridges, al
though it must be great. is not percep-
tible. ,a

when they were sold. He took his
place and soon afterward was gratiiied
to see his two surplus seats occupied
The individuals who took them were

friend with regard TO the Is shillings
that was due to him. and as the even

would go and make an inquiry at the
box office. His suspicious were vert

by a commissionnaire. The commissions

MILK IN POWDERED FORM.
Swedish Process That IL Likely TO
lie of Economic value at Home
and Abroad.

News of the Swedish discovery,
which is likely to be of Importance
in dairy farming, has come from Con-
sui II. 5. Beyh to the state depart
ment at Washington.
DR. Max Ekenberg, of Gothenburg,
has invented an apparatus by which
milk can be reduced to powder, while
possessing all the qualities of milk in
concentrated form, except moisture.
This milk -four, moreover, is complete
ly soluble in water, and can be used for
all the purposes for which ordinary
milk is employed.
1t does not get sour, does not fer
ment, and in its dry state is not SEN
sitive to changes in the weather. 1t
can be kept and transported in tin
cans, barrels or bags.
The cost Of reduction, DR.. Ecken-
berg estimates at about % cents for
every 106 quarts, and he thinks that
the -four made from skim milk can be
sold for about 13 cents q pound. No
rennet or acid, or lye is used in pro-
ducing II.
At a recent meeting Of the Swedish
academy of agriculture DR.. Ekenberg
exhibited samples of his milk -four, and
it was favorably commented on. In
an address to the academy he said-that
he believed his invention to be of the
greatest importance for the utiliza-
tion Of skim milk, hitherto largely
wasted, as in dry form it could be
transported all over the country with
out losing any Of its original good
qualities.

Insane the Third Time

A very sad case of insanity was
looked into by the probate court this
week and as result Miss Sarah
f. Thompson will be sent to an
asylum.
She is a woman of about fifty years
and has been living with her mother
near Leanna in Cottage Grove town
ship. Her mother is a very old woman
and has been unable to look after her,
the result being that all the work has
fallen on the kind neighbors. They
finally decided it was best to have the
patient taken to an asylum and so
brought her into court. Miss Thomp-
son is a school teacher and has taught
in Anderson, Allen and Neosho coun-
ties. She is a very religious woman
and it is believed that over study
caused her mind to give way. Twice
before she has been insane and has
been sent to an asylum, where rest
and proper care seemed to restore
her. Her present mania seems to be a
desire to discuss religion all the time
and to preach.
