TRIES TO BRIGHTEN sT.PAUL CTS
T.xSentv.one Men Will BE on Hand
Some OF Them Played for Him
re- Last Year.

Manager Kelly Of the St. Paul baseball
team will present quite different team
from that of last year. Some Of the best
OF the old players will be on hand, but
there will be several new ones. In all,
Manager Kelly has twenty-one men, but
then umber will >dwindle after thet1rst
month. The catchers are DIRTY Bill'
Wilson, Hurley from the eastern league,
Jessup of the -''Three-eyed" league and
Eaton from one Of the eastern colleges.
Among the pitchers are the old favor
ties Chech, Cogan and Cook; Evans, an
old-timer, last year with Cleveland; Rear
don, collegian, and possibly St1mmel'
who was with Cincinnati last year. On
the corners OF the diamond will be Cap
tain Kelly at first, Herman Schaerer ana
Miller Higgins for second, Shay OF the
Colorado Springs team and Bean, VINO lea
the eastern league shortstops, Tor the
short field, and David Brain for the third
corner. Schaefer is reported to nave
signed with Chicago, so he may be placed
on the doubtful list.
The candidates for the outfeld are Pat
billiard, young Geier, one OF Comiskey
budding apostles; Warner, OF last year
Des Moines team; Lumley, who led the
New York league in batting last year.
and Winters, a southern league star.
All this beautiful bunch will be re-
served for st. Paul, provided George E.

town where he can take in a little coin

He tells the papers that he is negotiating
for the transfer Of the team to Grand

be rejected at once, for it is hardly like

give away all the money in the town
in order to see ball games. The Grand
Rapids people would not hesitate to ne

DUDES ARE NOT WANTED.
EngIishmen Think America Ought to
Send the Best Men to Oxford.

New York. April 10.-Sir Milton Con-
way, professor OF art in Cambridge Uni
versity, who is in this city. has one great
regret over the provision of Cecil Rhodes
will which founded American scholar
ships at Oxford. He regrets that Cam
bridge was not the fortunate university
"Of course" he said, 81 base my re-
greet on the assumption that American
youths whom you send over to us will
be the pick Of your states. In the past,
especially at oxford, there have been a
good many American students with plen-
ty of money who came for the good time,
or because their parents thought it the
swell thing 1 hope the men who re-
ceive the Rhodes scholarships will not
be of that stamp, as 1 feel pretty sure
they will not.
IF they are picked men there is every
reason to be certain that they will come
to the front in every line of study and
activity they take up, and they will I'M
ouestionably awaken the old place up and
nut new life into 1t. One hundred pick
ed Americans in the undergraduate body
of Oxford will be a leaven for good in
the institution; / wish they were coming
10 Cambridge 1t may be just as well,
however. that Oxford lis the university
selected, because Oxford has always been
perhaps better training ground for
statesmen and certainly for journalists
and all men who are to use their pens
than Cambridge"

James X. Hackett.

A modern conception of Don Caesar de
Bazan will be seen at the Jefferson next
Saturday night in the person of James
K Hackett. Mr.. Hackett Is playing the
role of the reckless Spanish knight, not
because of the desire to reap the profits
of strong revival of interest in this adj
venturous tale. In fact, he created 1t in
accepting Victor Mape's new treatment
of the famous character, which he did
solely because he found the play es-
pecially adapted to his attributes as a
romantic actor.
The critics everywhere endorse Mr..
Hacketts selection. He is called the
Ideal Don Caesar" and the Mapes play
which is called Don Caesars Return "
Is very highly praised. Much more
stress has been laid upon the love theme
than in the other demonstrations. Mr..
Hacketts support is also generally ac-
credited with being far superior to the
average players assisting prominent
stars. His leading lady, Miss Charlotte
Walker, is said to make an ideal Mari
tana." Don Caesars Return" Is the
play in which Mr. Hackett opened his
season in New York at Wallack's Thea
tire early in October and 1t ran for nearly
three months at that famous Broadway
playhouse. This is the stars first season
as an actor manager.
Mr.. Hackett will lgive a special matinee
of his latest production THE Crisis
which is dramatization of Winston
Churchilfs celebrated novel of the same
name. THE Crisis" will be his star
ring vehicle all next season, opening in
New York early in September.

Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs,
is sending out official notices informing
club women of the change of date Of the
approaching convention which meets in
the Decaturs.
the two conventions, that of the Alabama
Division of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the other being the an
nual meeting of the Alabama Fedora
ton. both having selected the second
week in May for the convention dates,
the meeting of the federation has been
changed to Tuesday, May 20.
This decision will meet with universal
approval for there are many women who
belong to both organizations and who
had been elected to represent their re-
spective clubs and chapters at the APP
preaching conventions.
The conflicting dates made it an i'm
possibility for them to attend both con-
ventions, and there was general regret
that so unfortune a contingency had
arisen.

both conventions will be large and De-

otto women, while the third week in May
will find a brilliant gathering of club

FINISHING CREED REVISION.
Presbyterian Committee Has Done
Practically All of Its Work.

Washington,April 10.-The Presbyterian
creed revision committee accomplished
considerable work today, finishing up all
features except that relating to the brief
statement of doctrine. AS a result of the
work already done overtures will be sub
mitted to the general assembly which
meets in New York in May for action
on the declaratory statement with refer
ence to the third and tenth chapters of
the confession. These relate to predesti-'
nation and election of infants. The object
Is to remove NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on these
points by decla riarls that the confession
is not to be understood as teaching that
any children who die in infancy are lost;
also that the confession is not to be UNI
derstood as teaching that the provision:
of the gospel and the offer made by 1t /:
to be limited to a certain number-that
Christ died for all men; nor is 1t to BIZ
understood as in any way interfering
with human liberty and with the freedom
of men.
An overture will be sent to the general
assembly dropping from the text of the
confession the chapters relating to the
pope of Rome and that it is a sin in an.
other to refuse an oath when administer
ed by rightful authorities.
