secondly. they are all laid in perpendic-
|ular stitchngs, strappings, tuckings or
box plating. and many of them have

stitched in crisscross and other dis
tracting fashions. The pique skirt pure
and simple is. as you see. quite an article

rough white serges and cheviots are TO
large extent taking its place because they
are softer and more clinging. Unfortu-
nately they are not so practical, as they

washed. Then. too. they cost twice as
much as pique. IL is necessary TO pay

AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Twenty Thousand People Parade il
 Honor of Base Ball Champions.

l
 Honor of Base Ball Champions.
 Philadelphia. Sept 30. The greatest base ball parade ever seen in any city of this country took place last night in honor of the Athletics winning the American league championship. Tn the afternoon an exhibition game was played which netted the players about $4,000.
 The parade was fully five miles long and it is estimated that 10000 people participated in it. The drizzling rain somewhat dampened the ardor of the enthusiasts, and in many instances prevented the setting off of fireworks. It took the combined regular and sub stitute and reserve force of police to keep the parade in line and preserve order along the route, which was about fifteen miles in length.
 Great enthusiasm prevaileS along the route. Practically the entire city turned out to witness the procession. An elaborate banquet was tendered the players at the conclusion of the parade.
 The special feature was a huge the- atrical elephant secured by Arthur Les lie of New York. It was the same ani- nal on which De Wolf Hopper used to make his entre in Wang It has late Iy been doing society stunts at Greenwich, Conn, in the circuses given by tRe swagger set.

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30. = The strike of the dissatisfied employees of the New Orleans, Railway company which was started Sunday continues without a break Mail cars are the only ones moved by the railway com pany.. In the absence of trolley cars vehicles of all kinds are brought into use.
 The linemen of the New Orleans and Carrollton Light and Power company and also the linemen employed by the members of the International Brother hood of Electrical Workers, have been ordered out on sympathetic strike. About seventy-fye or eighty men are affected by the new strike
 The New Orleans Railway company has notified the mayor that the strike of their linemen will interfere seriously with the lighting of the city. No breaks that may occur in any of the overhead electric lighting wires or in any of the trolley wires can be fixed. The trim- mers of the electric light department can still continue at their work under the strike order, but these men cannot mend wires, according to the laws of their respective unions.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. President Roosevelt has suff@ed no i'll effects of the new. incision of his wound made Sunday, and he is in good spirits this morning. He passed a comfortable night, and there is absolutely nothing in his condition, his physicians say, to cause anxiety or uneasiness. The wound, it is believed, will heal rapidly.
 The president passed an uneventful day yesterday, remaining most of the time in his wheel chair, by which means he was able to be moved to vari- ous parts of the room. There were no visitors during the afternoon or even- ing except Dr. Lung, the regular White s3Iouse physician, who made his usual evening call. Dr. Newton M Shaffer, the New York bone specialist, who came down at the presidents request and joined the other physicians in their consultation prior to the operation, re turned to New York No arrangements were made for another visit from the doctor.

"Butcher Boy Fleming Threw Neil ol-
 sen of Denmark.

In one of the hardest and most stir ring wrestling matches of the season John Fleming, the "Butcher Boy" threw Neil Olsen of Denmark last night at the Gayety theater, Williams burg. The struggle lasted IA minutes and AS seconds. Fleming set to work to beat his opponent in short order, but although he applied hold after hold all he could do was to toss Olsen about. At the beginning of the tenth minute Olsen was Judged, but he slip ped out of Piening's grasp and turned on his stomach. During the next three minutes the going was nip and tuck and punctuated with sensational moves on the part of Olsen. The latter was fast tiring from his efforts and when Fleming secured another budge he could not extricate himself and went down in defeat t'Whitey" Mill Ter, Brooklyn lad, faced Pienfng at the matinee Miller's strength helped him along for six minutes. Then he tired and was an easy proposition af- ter that, Fleming finally getting a ham, mer lock on Miller and placing his ri- vaPs both shoulders on the mat. The full time was minutes Both bouts were at Graeco-Roman style.
 George Bothner, the lightweight champion, writes as follows: ..Hay- ing received no response to my chat lenge to John Fleming, who says he will undertake to throw me five times In one hour, l am now ready to meet any recognized lightweight in the bus mess, Max Wiley or Max Luttbeg pre- ferred. A club in Rochester wrote to me a few weeks ago offering atpurse for a bout with Wiley, and, although accepted. thus far I have not heard anything conclusive about it.

 Last Night.

Chicago, Sept 30. - Philadelphia Jack O'Brien won from Joe Choynski on points in a six round contest here last night. O'Brien was too fast for the Chicago man.

Merchants Protective Association
Takes Up a Timely Subject
Other Matters Considered.

The Merchants Protective associa
tion met last night and considered
several matters of pnblic.interest aside
from its regular credit Business. The
attendance was not as large as usual.
Letters were received from number
of parties who desire to furnish
dynamos, wire, poles, and other
equipment for a new electric light
plant. They were referred to the com.
mittee on lighting plant.
A letter was received from johnson
& Roebke, otherwise known as the
Hugo Shirt Co., in which they said
that they would decide soon whether
to locate in Mankato or st. Peter, and
intimsted that if they come to Man
kato the So, 900 bonus required would
have to be raised promptly as they
want to get started by Oct. 1st. The
matter was referred to the committee
on manufactures, and there it will
probably sleep, as the association is
opposed to bonuses.
Mr.. Roebke formerly lived in North
Mankato, and travelled for the overall
factory started at St Peter by Mr..
johnson. Other parties now seem to
have that factory, and the two gentle
men wish to manufacture specialties.
The Merchants Protective association
extends them a welcome to Mankato,
if they desire to locate here.
Jay Henry Long made report of
his trip to st. Paul and what he ascer-
tanned about the new union depot, and
also reported on the closing of the deal
for the purchase of the North Fourth
street property from the Omaha road
by the city. The substance of what
he said was published by the Free
Press on his return from st. Paul.
The association voted to call the at
tention of the city authorities and the
lot owners to the condition of vacant
property in the thickly settled por-
tions of the city. 1t was stated that
weeds grow on many of these lots, in
Guiding the Canada thistle. 1t was
the general opinion that for the
health and beauty of the city the
weeds should be cut, and that this be
done by the city and assessed against
the property where the owners neglect
to do it
The committee on lighting was not
ready to report, being in the midst of
the investigation of the subject.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 7.-Daniel
Sweeney, Waterman in the employ of
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern company at their Bliss colliery in
Hanover township, was found dead in
field in Hanover township during the
morning. He quit work at midnight
and was followed by a score of men.
The men were making threats and
Sweeney was afraid of them. He took
refuge in a saloon and waited there
for some time. After he thought the
crowd that followed him had dispersed
he left for his home. This was the last
seen of him alive. The supposition is
that the men who followed him from
the mine were lying in wait for him
and when he approached the spot
where they were hiding they assaulted
him with pick handles and beat his
brains out.
Michael Yisko, John Smith and
IgnatZ Shukie, all foreigners, who
were last seen in Sweeney's company,
were arrested charged with being i'm
plicated in the murder. They were
given a hearing before Magistrate
Khishi of Hanover township, and
brought to Wilkesbarre in a special
train over the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad. They were at
once taken to the county Jail.

throngs on the route to the palace.
