Making Baseballs.

balls, and something like 1875
people earn a living in the base
ball factories of the city.
The process of making baseballs
on whole plan is a rather inter
esting one, consuming in a single
season something like 5000 skins.
The scrappings from the shoe
factories, of which the"raw" balls
are moulded, are stored in cellars
of about one acre area, and from
this material the balls are shaped
by hand. According to quality,
the ball is bound by a few or
several dozen rounds of cord =.
The "raw" calls are placed in
automatic moulds, shaping tho
balls and at the same time press
ing out all moisture to the tune
Of 800 gross a day. One en-
ployee will shape as many as
1000 of the raw balls in a single
day.
The newly pressed balls are
then sorted and allowed to dry
out for period of from three to
four weeks, when their weight is
reduced to perhaps five ounces.
Something like 200 ofthese twine
bound leather balls can be found
in the bins at all times.
In the meantime the skin COW
ers for the balls have been season
ed and dressed on the floor below
and as last stage in the process
rubbed back and forth against an
upright blade to take out all the
kinks in the skins and also whiten
them.
The covers cut from the skins
by hand and sewed around the
balls by women. Each woman
is expected to finish fifteen dozen
balls daily. From every skin from
fifteen to thirty pairs of covers
are obtained.
All in all, it takes about six
weeks to turn OUT a baseball, and
the prices of the product will vary
from 3 cents to 1925. The largest
sales are of the five cent balls.
About twenty-eight varieties
of balls are now turned out.
Within the last five years the
baseball trade in Cincinnati is
said to have exactly quadrupled
itself.
In addition to baseballs the
factories turn out a considerable
number of footballs. The skins
for these are cut according to
pattern and sewed by machine.
The stufting and lacing are the
work of girls. Each ball passes
through seven pairs of hands in
the course OF manufacture, while
the boxing gloves, also a Cincin-
natl product, pass through about
forty. An average of $50 pairs
of gloves is the daily output.
Some $4,000 bats are made in
Cincinnati every year. All but
the cheapest grade, which is of
poplar, are cut from ash timber
OF varying sorts.

A LARGE TONNAGE MOVING
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT ALL
MARCH RECORDS LAST WEEK.
Work on the wabash Pfttsburg Line
Will BE Pushed-PanhandIe Earn
ings Attract Attention.

In the week ended March 5 the loaded car
movement reached near it's maximum and
was a record breaker for this season Of
the year, the total movement reaching
29.626 cars, 23.OS7 being loaded. an increase
over the preceding week Of 1,l45 loaded
cars. SD more than in the corresponding
week of 1901 and $3.50 more than in 1900.
The increased movement of empty cars
shows an easing up in that direction. One
of the results of the heavy SHOWS the trunk
lines have had to contend with the last ten
days was tina it enabled local lines to clear
up delayed business at manufacturing CEN
ters in gas belt territory, some of which
had been standing on side tracks for weeks
awaiting power to move it. and this has
temporarily relieved the situation. Still,
from this time on agricultural harvest i'm
PIGMENTS, carriage, furniture and bulky
freights will require a good many cars.
With the coming Of s~prink-like weather
general business will improve, and soon the
car shortage will present itself as promi-
nently as ever. Late in the week delayed
freights on the trunk lines began to arrive,
and at the city freight depots seldom are
as many cars unloaded in the same length
of time as was the case on Friday and
Sunday. The loaded car movement for
points west was exceedingly large, as
much Of this freight had been held back
for some days. Local lines are handling
large quantities of coal. and will be for
some time to come. So severe has been
the winter that manufacturers have been
unable TO accumulate a stock. The lum-
Der dealers have not received their usual
stock for spring and summer trade, and
q busy summer is in prospect, say freight
traffic officials. No one now talks of re-
duced rates, a prompt movement of bust
ness being the chief thing to look after.
The following table shows the number of
cars handled at this point for the week
ended March S, and for the corresponding
weeks of 1901 and 1900:

The wabash Making Good Progress.

Joseph Ramsey, president of the Wabash,
was in Pittsburg on Friday and Saturday
and spent the time, the Pittsburg Gazette
says, with Chief Engineer j. w. Patterson,
of the Pittsburg, Carnegie & Western,
studying the progress of the engineering
work on the Wabash extension TO Pitts
burg. Advertisement will be made this week
for bids for the last part of the line to be
constructed. Mr.. Ramsey said, and con-
tracts will be let as soon after as possible.
These include the grading and other work
preparatory to laying the rails from the
Ohio river near Mingo Junction to Jewett,
o., where the Wheeling & Lake Erie, an
other Gould property, is reached. The cost
will be over $4,000, 600. The congressional
committee IN charge of bridges has unani-
mously reported in favor of the bill re-
ducing the elevation of the Wabash bridge
over the M~onongahela river at Ferry street
ten feet at the north end, Mr.. Ramsey says.
Congress is expected to pass the measure
within a few days. The Chamber of Com
merce yesterday indorsed the change. In
regard to recent reports of Gould extern
sions, Mr.. Ramsey said il would keep more
than one man busy merely denying the
reports originated mainly in Wall street.
The last report, in the form of an inter-
view with him. that the line would be ex-
tended through "Piet' county. Virginia
Greene county, Pennsylvania, was the
county mentioned, the conviction being
that lines to the coal and coke regions
would be built unless other satisfactory
connections to obtain those classes of
freight were found.

CITY MARKETS ACTIVE
LOCAL TRADE IN GOOD VOLUME AND
IN EXCELLENT TONE.
Price Changes Few and Unimportant,
Except the Break in Eggs
Grain Markets Are Light.

Taken as a whole, trade in the week end
ed March s was without doubt the best OF
any week in the present year. The dry
goods houses had an excellent business for
the season, the advance in certain lines OF
goods in the early part of the week acting
as a stimulant to trade, and the movement
of prints and other goods of the season
was large. The druggists enjoyed a good
business. There were declines and ad-
vances in certain lines, but not of much i'm
portance. Linseed oils, although firm, rule
steady, as do paints, but are in good de-
mand. Quinine advanced 1c an ounce.
Wholesale grocers had a big trade during
the entire week and travelling statesmen
brought in good orders. Goods are sold on
small margins, but the volume offsets in a
measure the close prices. All staple gro
ceries are firm. The produce men are very
busy. Receipts of eggs are very large ana
prices are weak at quotations, which are
14c lower on the dozen than they were two
weeks ago. Even lower prices are probable
Receipts of poultry, on the contrary, are
light and prices are well held. Butter, IL
choice. is still a fast mover, but poor stun
is difficult TO dispose of at any price.
Cheese is in good request and firm in price.
Confectioners are doing a good business Tor
the season, as are dealers in fancy notions.
Hardware and iron merchants are having
an unusually good trade. Travelling sales
men on Friday and Saturday brought In
large orders and predict a large business
during the entire season. Much building is
projected, and this helps the lumber deal
ers, many of whom have been troubled the
past winter in laying in their usual amount
of lumber owing to the scarcity of cars.
The flour market is active; prices STEADY
and have a hardening tendency. Travelling
statesmen report the country roads as yet
good, and a few warm days will settle that
feature of the conditions for the season, as
good roads are essential to a good trade.

PEOPLE DO NOT WANT 1T.
Contract Delivery of Rural Mails
would Be n Mistake.
LAFAYETTE Qnd.) Journal

LdIdyelte NlHu.J JOuTldl.
Some weeks ago. when the suggestion
was made in Congress, the Morning Jour
nal, discerning the harm it would DO.
pointed out that the delivery of rural mails
by contract was an unwise and injudicious
thing.
This view seems to have been shared by
almost every fair-minded person and every
wise newspaper that is published i'm the
service and good of the people.
Again let US say, that the people who de-
sire the rural free delivery luxury do not
want their mail delivered by contractors
who secured the work by competitive bid.
The contract system Will lower the eff
cheney of the service that now has all the
marks of capability-
1t is a fact u~ndisputed that when compe-
tition enters into the delivery of mails. an
air of ~cheapness pervades the system. The
contractor viii do the work i'm the cheap
est manner possible. He secures the con-
work and time accordingly.
Uncle Sam has plenty Of money. There
are ample funds in the treasury of the
United States TO pay for efficient service.
and tina is what the people demand. The
service must be good. or there should be no
service at all. The rural free delivery sert-
ice will reach the grade of efficiency at
tanned by the city branch. The farmer de-
serves as capable service as the city man.
and if the regular system OF appointing in
teligent men at intelligent wages is OBJ
served. there will be no protest on the in
capacity and slipshOd manner in which
mails on the rural routes are delivered.

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS.
Post -Mortem on a Mummy

-fOSl-A1Ol ltlu III a Mummy
In a case against A railway company.
tried recently in England, facts of a de-
cidedly humorous nature were brought out.
1t appeared that the mummy was brought
to Liverpool and handed to the railway
company. Somehow the mummy went
astray. and the officials decided TO open the
box, which was found in London. The
man who opened il went for the coroner,
who held an inquest upon it. The follow
ing verdict was returned: THAT the wom-
an was found dead at the railway station.
and did die on some date unknown. in
some country unknown. probably South
America. from some cause unknown. No
proofs of a violent death are found, and
the body has been dried and buried in some
foreign manner, probably sun-dried and
cave buried. And the jury are satisfied
that this body does not show signs of any
recent crime in this country, and that the
deceased was unknown and about twenty
owners stated that the body had been dead
400 years A verdict against the railway
company was rendered, on the theory that
although there Is no property in A corpse,
a property can be acquired in a mummy
by reason OF the labor and skill bestowed
on il.
Obstruction of Officer
The Georgia code contains a provision.
very similar TO the law OF the other States
of the Union, providing that il is a INSIDE
meanor to knowingly and willfully OBJ
struct or oppose any officer of this State.
or other person duly authorized. in serv-
ing or attempting to serve or execute any
lawful process or order" The Supreme
Court of that State. constituting this pro-
vision, holds that merely refusing. upon
the demand of a levying officer. TO unlock
a door TO a house in order to enable him 10
enter the same for the purpose of levying
a lawful process upon goods contained
therein. is not a violation of this provision.
