Two Ball Games.

Last Wednesday the Swanton
league team came to Morrfsville and
won from the local base ball club by
score of II to 8. The visitors were
by far the hardest proposition yet
tackled by the Morrisville aggrega-
ton. The visitors started in at the
second inning by running in two
scores after two men were gone. The
scores we're made by Medal and Kee-
man on singles. At the end of the
fourth the visitors had ten tallies to
their credit and Morrisville had not
succeeded in reaching the plate once.
In the sixth the local team took a
big rally and led the visitors the re-
mainder of the game, but were un-
able to overcome the big lead. Nor
risville's turn at the bat in the sixth
was as follows Woodward hit safe
first and Parker went out on foul fly
to third. Miner singled to center and
Leach hit to right sending Wood
ward home. Wilkins struck out and
Grimes pretty single to left sent
Miner and Leach home. Wright
went to first Oh hit to left and stole
second, where he was left on strike
out of Rublee.
In the seventh Forbush went to
first on hit to infeld, Woodward
drew cheap base and Parker's two
Dagger sent the two men home.
Parker stole third and scored on a
single to center by Wilkins Grimes
went to first on error at second and
Wright struck out. Two more scores
we're secured by Morrisville in the
eighth and nineth.
The Swanton's are heavy hitters
and in the first four innings punched
the ball to all parts of the field
piling up a large number of safe hits,
Parker struck out IL men against 1C
by the Swanton pitcher. Following

How West Point Discipline a Man.

The outsider, and especially the
cadets mother, may we'll think that
there is not enough leniency for a
boys lapses; but men who hold in
trust the lives of companies, regi-
ments, brigades and armies are not
supposed to have lapses, particular
ly in action. Again, we hear that the
system is so rigorous that it breaks
down the health of the students.
Perpaps it would if the cadets were
allowed, after days work, to inhale
cigarette smoke and hang over
mug until the small hours of morn
ing. With such an auxiliary, an
elective course of lectures has been
known to undermine more than one
university mans constitution. No
college or preparatory school can
show such healthy looking set of
boys as West Point. The phyical
regime clears their heads for an
amount of mental work impossible
under other conditions. They not
only obtain more instruction in four
years than they could elsewhere, but
from raw youths they have become
accomplished gymnasts. swordsmen,
horsemen and artillerists, infantry
men and engineers. If that veteran,
wounded in two wars, General Long
street, is a sample of the physical
"wrecks" which West Point pro-
duces, we cannot have too many of
them

MAKING ORUMHEADS.
Great Care is Necessary In Handling the
Calfslxins.


CalfslSins.
Drumheads and banjo heads are
made very carefully indeed, and not
little skill is required to produce a
smooth, even, unbroken skin. The
drum and banjo heads are all made
from skins. Calfskin is the best ma
terial, but sheepskin is good.
The hides come by rail to the fac
tory in great bundles. They are ex-
actly as when taken from the carcass,
except that they have been picked in
salt. On receipt at the factory the
hides are thrown into a small pond
beside the building, and left there to
soak in running water till all the salt
is washed out. This takes a long
time. After being freshened the hides
are thrown over frames and "broken."
The bits sof flesh remaining on the
hides are removed and the skin is
then soft and pliable.
The hide il next put in a vat with
lime and left there for about two
weeks. This loosens the hair, which
is scraped off. Then the skin is
stretched tight on frame anu
shaved on both sides. Another bath
in vat gives the skin transparent
eff 4ct and puts it in apple-pie order.
Once more, the skin is stretched out
on the frames, and if any finishing
touches are needed they are given.
After being cut in shape it is ready
for the market.
The army drumheads are 10 to 20
inches in diameter. Other sizes vary
from the tiny ones, used for toy
drums, to the great big bass drums,
some of which are 60 inches in
diameter. Banjo heads are of more
uniform size,

The game last Saturday between
the Moxies of Burlington and the
home team drew large crowd, but
from a baseball standpoint was a
gigantic fzzle. The home team had
the visitors on the run from the start
and it looked very much like shut
out until the sixth inning, when in a
heavy shower the visitors punched
the wet ball for few hits and sue
ceeded in running in four scores. They
made one more in theseventh and one
in the ninth. Umpire Dutton called
the game in the sixth inning and the
players and spectators made for the
woods to escape the heavy shower
The game was resumed after the
shower with water standing in puddles
on the inield.
The visitors had a strong fielding
team, but Smith was pounded I'M
mercifully by the local team. Doyle,
the catcher for the visitors, was a
fairly good backstop, but threw wild

scores.
The management were much disap-
pointed in the game, as they were as
sured that the Moxies were a first
class team and would put up as good
a game as had been seen here this
season. Following is the score:-

plan to Tax the Trusts.


Washington, November %
While the committee on ways and
means is struggling with the com
mittee on judiciary for the right to
manage the proposed antitrust
legislation, chairman w. p. Hep
burn, of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee, will advance
a proposition that is entirely his
own. He has come to the conclu-
sion that a prohibitive tax on the
watered stock Of corporations will
put a stop to all combinations that
are formed for other than the le-
gitimate purposes of trade. This
tax, he thinks, could be collected
by the Bureau of Internal Reeve
nue., as the war taxes were collect
ed.
when you take away the OPP
portunity of the professional
promoters of getting rich
simply through organization of a
trust" said Mr.. Hepburn, land
the issuance of enormous quaint
ties of stock based on nothing but
the visionary dividend earning Ca
pacity of the proposed enterprise,
you will at once put an effectual
end to such organizations. In my
opinion, prohibitive tax on the
stock of every corporation which is
not representative of substantial
value would wipe such corpora
tons out of existence, and when
that was done combinations would
be made only for the legitimate
trade advantages which could be
secured. Combinations of the lat
ter class, in my opinion, are not
harmful.
''As an example, take Mr.. Nor
gan's steamship merger. What
motive did Mr.. Morgan have in
engineering this gigantic scheme
through if it were not for the great
profit he could derive, not through
the Legitimate business of ship
ping, but through the issuance OF
stock based on the mbination
IF the matter were analysed il
would be found that Mr.. Morgan
is not posted, or even interested on
the conditions governing the act,
ual business of the navigation OF
the Atlantic ocean. He, as a pro-
fessional promoter, sees a chance
to- make great combination ON
which fabulous amount of stock
eau be issued and sold, and through
which incidentally Mr.. Morgan
will reap an enormous profit. The
motive for the railroad mergers
will be found the same, and it il
this gambling on the possibilities
of enormous profits, which be.
comes at once the money making
end of the trust aud not the legiti-
mate earnings, which should be
the real cause for the combination
and the real source of the profit.
