PLAY BALL
But not on the Streets. Says Mayor Meek Who
is an Ardent Admirer of the
National Game.

is an Ardent Admirer of the
National Game.
Numerous complaints have been
recently made to Mayor Meek In
regard 10 ball playing upon the
streets. and today a citizen made a
very vigorous objection against the
practice. He informed His Honor
that 1t was almost impossible to
pass along the sidewalk near his
home on account of young men
who were practicing with view to
becoming twlrlers In the National
League, judging from the lightning
speed they let drive with a sphere,
regardless of whether it smashed a
harmless pedestrian In the eye or
passed through a brick house.
Mayor Meek assured the gentle
man that although he had been a
regular patron OF the bleachers as a
"kid," and had also been since
reaching manhood's estate an en-
thusiastic occupant of seat IN
the grand stand at all times when
an exhibition of the national game
was being given, he would instruct
the police to at once put stop to
ball playing on the public streets
by any and all persons. Young
men and boys would, therefore, do
we'll to keep one eye out for the
"cop" and take In hot liners with
the other The Mayor says that
1t Is awful to have to go against
human nature, but the complaints
have been of such nature that he
has no resource other than to chase
the emulators OF "Slide, Kelly,
Slide" at least FIVE miles from the
city limits.

HIS LIFE AT STAKE.
E. c. Cooper Murdered Ills Wife
and May Pay Penalty on
the ScaffOld.
Six Physicians Pronounce Him Sane and
the Plea Entered by His Counselis
Withdrawn. Trial May Con.
clude Today.

ST. MARYs, w. VA, Aug. 28.-
+. c. Cooper Is now on trial,
charged with numbering his wife.
Six of the ablest physicians of the
city, this morning, pronounced
him sane, and the insanity plea
made by his counsel was with
drawn.
The all absorbing question, not
withstanding the verdict of the
doctors, today Is: SIS Cooper
crazy" If not crazy he has the res
olution of iron and can out-act many
a man who has grown old behind
the foot lights.
He Is suffering with an abscess
of the lung, and coughs frequently.
Aside from this he Is apparently
paralyzed. Sitting In a rather
leaning forward posture, his mus
cles rigid, his gaze fixed immedi-
ately down and In front he has
thus remained stolidly indifferent
to all his surroundings In imbecilic
attitude since the day after he
murdered his wife. A few days
later he affected to lose his speech,
and has not spoken for three weeks
until today.
The doctors who examined him
held their consultation In his pres
ence. They talked of the lacking
symptoms and after they had re-
tired from his cell he unexpectedly
began talking to his fellow prison.
ers On being arra:gned before
the court this morning he was able
to understand what was required of
him, and chose his counsel from
the lawyers present. Afterward
he went into the circuit clerks
Office, and conferred with his at
torneys, after returning to the court
room he sat all day beside his coun-
sci his look being far more intelli.
gent than on yesterday.
The State has the evidence In
this evening, and the trial should
be concluded by noon tomorrow.
Cooper Is being tried for par
ticularly fendish crime-that of
numbering his wife In cold blood.
The evidence today showed, previ-
Gus to his crime, which shocked
the whole community, that he had
repeatedly uttered threats against
the life of his wife.
On Sunday evening, April 9th of
this year, Mrs. Cooper had attended
the M. E. Church, South, In COM
pany of her brother and wife,
Cooper followed later and on see
Ing his wife In the church went
away, going In the direction of up
town. Later he returned to the
church and entering sat down near
the entrance. A short time before
the dismissal of the congregation
he slipped from the church, going
to his uncle's hardware store, he
procured a shot gun and went to a
point In the B. & 0. yards. and at
a dark point and unfrequented
spot, laid In wait tor his wife. AS
she came up the railroad track,
walking just In front of her brother
and wife Cooper leaped from the
side of the track Immediately In
front of her, and as he did so
broaght the shotgun to his shoulder
and took aim. At his sudden ap-
pearance Mrs. Cooper wheeled
around In an attempt to flee. Before
she had more than half turned the
fatal shot was fired, the full charge
entering the head behind the right
ear, tearing a CHASTITY, gaping wound
producing almost instant death.
Cooper was once In the asylum

EXTERMINATING PoRPOIsEs.

Porpoise catching may turn out to be quite a profitable business on the French coast. The French government has offered a bounty of about 8 for every porpCise captured, and it is hoped that this bounty will be suf-
 icient to cause the extermination of porpoises on the French coast Fish ermen have always complained that the porpoise was an intolerable plague In their mad dash after fish they often get entangled in the nets, and to free themselves tear them into shreds. At the same time that the net is destroyed the fisherman looses all his catch. for the fish easily escape through the holes made by the sea clowns. France tried the experiment c; ordering her naval commanders to kill them whenever they were sighted. but this scheme nev- CT worked well, and the government is now going to try what bounty will do. To all those who have made . deep water voyage this slaughteriny of porpoises will seem a mistake. It is one of the interesting incidents of an ocean voyage to run into a school of porpoises and see the sea clowns en- toying themselves while keeping pace with an ocean liner. There are. how ever, so many of them in the sea. and they are spread over such a large ex- tent of the ocean, that it hardly seems probable that the French bounty will do mere than add to the income of the French fishermen.-Boston Herald
