The game of base ball played
Yesterday afternoon between the
Lean men and the Fat men OF the
city resulted In favor of the Leans
Notwithstanding the proceeds OF
/ the game went for charitable oh =
ject, a great many people got up
on the houses and high bank in
the rear of the base ball grounds
and took In the exhibition free
gratis. Among the crowd of men
was a candidate for Office He
saved a quarter yesterday, but be
lost his Office. Its very mean SIT
OF people that will make 1t bust
nessIto sponge their way into every
game of base ball that comes along,
but when 1t comes to stealing from
charity game 1t is certainly
meaner than the meanest thing we
ever heard OF.
The members of the two teams
were escorted to the base ball
grounds headed by the Charles
Thistle, Brass Band. The play
ers were all dressed up to
kill. The Fat men presenting
most comical appearance, theLeans
are as homely as mud fences.
When it comes to looking real
"purty" the Fats win easy. The
Leans, however, spoiled the game
by putting on base ball players.
This was not fair, but the Fats be-
Ing good natured took the drubbing
they got in good humor, but
promise later to give the Leans
game that will make them look like
thirty cents with tour holes In 1t.
As result Of the game there IS
quite number of very sore men In
the city today. Nitroglycerine
William, of second base, Is up stairs
and will not be able to get down
until he can have an elevator put
up In the house. Drug Store
Saunders slept all night In
two barrels of arnica. Catcher Pro
Queer Thompson is nursing finger
with much care and attention. Cap
tain George Durham IS a grend
base ball player. All George could
do was to look pretty and graceful,
but you could not get him to catch
ball or to try to do 1t. Mayor
Meek played right field, but as a
ball player he Is not a glittering
success. Art Doye made two runs
and Is now In bed. George Work
can hit ball all right, but when 1t
comes to running he goes like a
COW, but with Art Doyle pushing
him along he got their Ell all
right. Frank Hicks caught fly In
the right field that was fine catch
and won the applause OF the grand
stand. Hotel Clerk Conant as
catcher Is all right If he would not
spend his time praying for the ball
to be stopped before 1t reached him.
The Leans had some good players.
Eddie Hanlon could play with the
Pittsburg National team. Jack
Kinkaid on first base missed but one
ball. Harry Blackmarr, Dick and
Glenn Elliott and almost all the
lean fellows could play ball which
was not fair. However 1t was all
right, made plenty of good and
wholesome pleasure, and the money
made will no doubt be expended
for a go' d purpose and make sew
eral people very happy.

to trace this belief back Abroad it probably received its first impetus in
 abuse, where shortly before the Revolution the workmen in the State tobacco factory gre said to have re- mained immune during a deadly epi- demic of suette (sweating sickness). The belief may, perhaps, be of the na- ture of folklore. The medical man at tached to the Bordeaux State factory thought that this local industry was veritable blessing to damp and foggy town. ''The piquant and ammoniacal carnations arising from the tobacco qualify the air and diminish It's in salubrty. Before the establishment of this factory the poorer parts of Bor- deauX had been ravaged by epidemics and contagious now unknown. The deatmate among the tobacco workmen is he adds, very low, while very few cases of illness occur among them, al- though they are in general ill-lodged and clothed and even worse fed"
 We have no new facts to add in evi- dence of the value of tobacco smoking in epidemic disease. As yet, at any rate, there is nothing authoritative to be said,-From the Lancet.

TOBACCO TRADITIONS

The belief that tobacco smoke is a disinfectant has long been popularly held, As long ago as 1888 pr. Paul Tas sinari of Pisa subjected the germs of verious deadly diseases (such as an-
 thrax, cholera and typhus fever) to the
 action of dense clouds of imprisoned to- bacco smoke during periods of 100 to 150 hours and he came to the conclusion that in most cases, and especially when large cigars had been employed as gen.
 orators, the development of pathogenic bacteria was either partially or wholly arrested. But nobody retains smoke in his mouth for 100 hours at a time An occasional pipe, indeed scarcely counts in comparison with Dr. Tasslnari's in- tense soaking process. Besides, under the conditions imposed by the Italian Investigator, would not the smoke of coal or wood produce the same results as that of cigars?
 It is recorded that during the Great Plague children were told to smoke in their schoolrooms. The idea was prob ably borrowed from the custom of the charge of dead-carts, to Holywell we Itdu III A bIiel ADSlEdCl of the Virtues of the American Tobacco Plant, published in 17S3, that at first these persons only used tobacco as a deodorizer, little thinking that what they used for momentary relief would prove constant preventive. When the plague was happily stayed, the virtues of tobacco began to be investigated; it was found that those persons who plen- tifully used it, either in smoking or snuffing, had most wonderfully escaped the dire eontagion; for though they vis- ited the chambers of the sick, attended the funerals of carloads at time they avoided the infection" Thew ritter even goes so far as to ad- vance the theory that since Europe took to smoking. epidemics had greatly de- creased and we find him sta ating the be- lief that dealers in tobacco were secure from plague -in-infection. Yet he can assign no reason why tobacco should prove so valuable as a disnfectant ex- cept in so far as it fortifies the head against "eXhalations."
 Workmen in tobacco factories are of | ten cited as being immune from cholera | and other epdemcs. It is interesting |

CERT4INLY SIfO ULD BE.

After some futile fiddling yesterday the Constitutional Convention adopted the following: Resolved by this Con vention, that it is the sense of this Con- vention that it's labors can and should be concluded this week and the clerk is hereby directed to notify by telegram each member not now present that his presence is urgently requested to-mor- row morning at Ii o'clock"
 It is cheering to know that it is the sense of the Convention that 1t can and should be concluded this week. It is the sense of the people that it should be, but after what has happened the people are not certain that it can be. IT the Convention will remove the un- certainty by concluding this week it will do good thng-a thing which will be praised by future historians when they read papers founded on the stenographic report of the proceedings of the Convention.

4 HOT TIME IN VERMONT.

| Vermont isn't a State where politics , Is usually very lively, but there Is a stir there this year. It is made by
 Percival W. Clement of Rutland, who is 9 candidate for the Republican nom- ination for governor Perhaps MT. Clement doesn't expect to get the nom ination this time The chances that he will don't seem to be good But he
 means to deserve it, according to his
 own notion. So he is pitching into pro-
 hibition in way to delight all who
 don't want it around. His campaign is
 a queer one. He has with him four
 negro singers, who sing before his
 speeches and after them. He draws
 crowds wherever he appears. and he
 tells them that the prohibitory law has
 demonstrated its unfitness for sup
 pressing the sale of liquor or promot- ing the cause of temperance. He is par ticularly severe in his denunciation of the so-oalled Vermont anti-saloon league, which has for it's ostensible ob- ject the enforcement of the prohibitory law, securing it's evidence by spying and like methods, and which never stretches forth a helping hand to drunkards or contributes one penny to help a drunkard's wife. He declares that the prohibitionists, although in minority, demand the right to continue dictating to the majority and do not dare submit license law to the people Of the State.
 If Vermont is ready for Clement there is surprise in store for the old timers. If it isn't Clement can have the satis- faction of knowing that he has had a high old time and freed his burdened mind.

Suppose he had but heard the winds a-blow' And Seen the brooks in icy chains fast bound, How should he guess that waters in their flowing
 Could make so glad d sound Guess how their silver tongues should be set going - '--. IA To sucn a tuneful sound! Suppose he had not seen the bluebirds Nor seen the day set, nor the morning rise, Nor seen the golden balancing and swing ing -.-.--., Of the gay butterflies Who could paint April pictures, worth the To notice of his eyes?

SOME GER M 4N WdIeS HIPS.

What Germany is doing in a naval
 way is indicated by the fleet under the
 command of Prince Henry of Prussia
 which is paying friendly visit to Eng
 land. 1t is said to be the most powerful aggregation of foreign warships that has ever visited any British or Irish port. The squadron consists of eight line of battle ships in two divisions. and three cruisers, and is larger nu- merically, if not in actual power, than the British Channel squadron or the French Northern squadron. A note geneity. The four vessels of the first division, of the so-caled Kaiser class, are identical in all respects, size, manoeuvring capacity, radius of action, speed and gun power. All of them are protected by the same weight of the very finest Harveyized nickel-steel ar nor. Between the vessels of the sec- ond division there are certain differ ences, the slowest of them being unable to make more than sixteen knots as against the eighteen knots of the Kali sers. Moreover, the fleet is practically new, the oldest of the first division ves- sels being only five years old. and the oldest of the others only ten years Re- fore returning to German waters the fleet will make complete circuit of the United Kingdom.

Commander Whitenouse of the Brit ish navy writes as follows of his ex- perience with the rhinoceros in Africa: "As a rule they do not interfere with travellers that let them alone. In some cases, of course, they are dangerous, but it was easy to get close to many for photographs, It is often said that a rhinoceros will charge the persons that he gets the wind of; such is not my experience. I walked close up to the nrst | saw by aceiaent--a COW and its calf. They certainly got my wind at distance of less than twenty yards, but after looking at me for a few sec onds they both bolted. On another oc- casion, on the Athi plains, one came up toward us and, stopping less than 200 yards away, watched the caravan go by, with the wind blowing straight from us to him. Probably he was used to see Nasal and other natives. and rhinoceroses in less frequented places might haze been more dangerous. Two

"The races showing the high est birth rate this pessimist asserts, will so obviously possess the land that it makes little difference with the final result whether few hundred thousand more or less of particular strain are now admitted or not" If rigid meas ure of exclusion had been adopted in 1920, he adds, the country would have been kept English in blood and in fact as it is now in language"
