people of the northwest will be div
ided among the American and Nat
ioanal Leagues and the American
Association. in which both ST. Paul
and Minneapolis have teams.
The American League has taken its
place at the head of the list of all
base ball organizations. and the Am
erican Association is the strongest of
the minor aggregations.
The national will also have many
adherents among the fans who have
watched its progress for years. Strong
clubs in each of the leagues indicate
that this will be year of hot races
for the pennant.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press will
print daily the box scores, summaries
and brief account of the games in
each of the three organizations ana
the amateur games of the northwest.

IN another column will be found
the full text of the bill to create u
mining school i'm st. Louis county.
OF course, Duluth will want the
school, but, if the measure becomes a
law and the school is created. one of
the range towns is the place for it.
All of the range towns have advant-
ages, but Ely just caps the entire lot
for several reasons. In the first place
here are located the best deep ore
mines in the world and as the Mesaba
is the only range where surface min
ing appears, the students naturally
need experience in deep ore mining.
Here.is where it can be secured. Our
mines are good for winterand summer
for many years. Our city Is particn
larry well adapted for an institution
of this kind. The surroundings are
pleasant and "a large field for practical
operations is at hand. Best des, if the
county is ever divided. Ely will be
the county seat. The other towns
will claim all these attractions but
their claims have nothing to prove
them correct. Ely is the place for
the mining school.

MAYOR HUGO is still mayor of Du-

decided that he was elected by five
votes. Your Uncle Henry is not sat-

From long distance observation it
would seem that Your Uncle Henry
had better be satisfied.

 When a cold wave settles down On the country and the town, Thers's . lot of trouble that is put on tap: Even cranks who used to yearn For a winter long and stern Fall in line and Erowi about the chilly snap.
 Ice ia forming here and there. Often just in places where Those who Eingeriy arc stepping have no Now and then . thud is hoard. And the atmosphere is stirred By remarks of chaps who played some antics queer.
 In the country districts pumps Give the rural joys hard bumps By their zeal in freezing up in one brief night;
 In the town there's deepest woe When the water will not How, And 'tis learned that all the pipes arc froxen tight
 Those who have to shovel snow From tho paths OCT which they go Arc convinced that they're . most unhap- Many who must walk around Where the chilling blasts abound Are declaring they prefer . season hot But the plumber broadly Erins. Der the snow the sleigher spins. And the merry skater cuts . lot of ice, For instead of Erowls and fitngs At the weather winter brings They unite in saying 1t is mighty nice- So. though many scold and frown When a cold wave settles down And makes trouble that they're finding hard to bear.
 There are others who agree That the greatest time for giee h just when the ice and snow arc every where.

If you look at human hair under the microscope, you will find that its surface is formed of successive over tapping scales. The bristles of the hog bear much resemblance to the human hair, though their diameter is greater and the tilelike scales are much finer. Sheep's hair has much coarser scales. 1t is owing to the existence of these scales that schoolboy Is able by a pe- culiar process to tell which is the tip and which the other end of hair roll ing it between his finger and thumb. Thus manipulated, the hair always travels in the direction of the base be- cause the edges of the scales prevent it from going the other way.

PRINCE HENRY HOME.
Welcomed at Cuxhaven by His Ia-
 perial Brother.

Cuxhaven, March 19.-The return of Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia to German soil was safely accomplished amid all the pomp and circumstance with which the princess imperial broth CT had seen fit to mark the successful ending of Prince Henry's American mission.
 The same good fortune of freedom from untoward incidents which charac- terized the princes transatlantic jour ney continued until the end. The land. ing occurred during a period of bril- liant sunshine after an overcast day.
 The Hamburg g-American line steamer Deutschland, from Cherbourg, having on board the prince and his suit, was first sighted at half past 5 yesterday afternoon. The German battleship Kai- ser Wilhelm II. steamed down the road stead to meet the Deutschland and re- turned escorting the big liner. The Deutschland tied up to the new stone quay and was the first ship to dock there.
 Emperor William stood upon the quay surrounded by high naval and munich pal officials. As representative of the American embassy at Berlin Com mander William H. Bechler, the naval attache to the embassy, stood at the emperor's side.
 The quay was decorated with the flags of all the states of the empire, and the thousands of spectators who cover ed the roofs of the great warehouses and the wide slopes overlooking the scene cheered wildly as Prince Henry walked down the gangway from the steamer. Emperor William kissed his brother upon both cheeks and shook hands with the members of his suit, saying a few cheerful sentences to each. In the meantime the guns of the squadron saluted.
 Side by side his majesty and Prince Henry then passed down in front of the marine guard, which stood at salute. After this the marine guard passed in review, while the band of the imperial yacht HohenEollern played the national anthem.
 The passengers on the Deutschland crowded to the steamers rail and cheer ed heartily during the ceremony. Some of the American passengers waved lit- tie American flags. Otherwise the stars and stripes were not nying.
 After the inspection of the guard of honor and the veterans by Emperor William his majesty and his party, Prince Henry and his stan and Com mander Bechler boarded a tender and, amid fresh salutes, music and cheer ing, proceeded to the battleship Kaiser Wilhelm II. Upon arriving there the crew of the vessel manned their ship to receive the royal personages.
 The Kaiser Wilhelm II. weighed an- chor at quarter past and started to- ward Kiel through the canal A ban quet was served on board the warship.
