Instructions to Players.


 Harry Pulliam has made public the rules agreed upon and the instructions issued thereon to managers, captains, players and umpires.
 President Pulliam, speaking to the play CTS, says:
 "Rowdyism on the ball field will not prevail during the season of 1903. Nine tenths of the bal players in our league are gentlemen earning their livelihood in a legitimate manner, and anything that tends to better the sport, l know will have their hearty approval
 The umpire is the sole judge of play. His decision cannot be questioned and any player that does so will do 1t at his own peril.
 For misconduct of any character the umpire is ordered to order the manager, captain or player from the field, and in two instances he will have the power to inf1ct fine."
 These two instances refer to intentional injury to the ball player.
 President Pulliam continues by saying that he himself will deal with all of- may consider as needing. punishment further than expulsion from any one particular game. While under suspenSi )n a player will have absolutely no privileges and is to be excluded even from the ball grounds, except he pay the admission fee as any other spectator.
 Managers, captains and players" con- times MT. Pulliam, "are especially warn ed against attacking the umpire In any manner after the completion of the game, or by any action, overt or secret, trying to influence the spectators against the umpire and cause him bodily harra. Any action of this kind will be severely dealt with, because 1t is cowardly in the ex- treme.
 "I would like the cooperation of every one to bring about satisfactory state of affairs, alike to the public, press, owners and players. for we must have clean base ball, worthy the respect of anyone. if we hope to keep the game of baseball as the national sport"
 Among the instructions to umpireS ere the following injunctlons:
 At all times you must maintain the dignity of your position and treat man. agers and players with proper respect. but do not indulge in any familiarity or temporize in the least
 Your decision on matters of play are absolute and final and cannot be changed An appeal can only be made on the ques- tion of legal interpretation of the rules, and then only by the captain.
 Special stress is laid on the fact of having an immediate report made of any manager. captain or player who attacks the umpire in any way after the com pletion of a game, or who by any action, overt or secret, tries to influence the spec tators against the umpire.
 The protection of this office will be eX- tended to the umpire from the time he en- ters the ball field until the time he leaves the inclosure.'

FUNERAL OF COL. WILLIAMS.
Concourse Follows Re-
 mains to the Grave

Wetumpka, April A.-(Specfal. )-The fu- neral services conducted this morning bv Rev. w. Bancroft over the remains of Col. Thomas Williams were solemn and impressive. As one of his old negro ser wants expressed 1t, he was everybody's friend. The stores were closed and busi- ness suspended in order that all might attend the last sad rites at Il o'clock this morning. Floral offerings of great beau ty were heaped on the casket, and the spring time flowers seemed to breathe a promise of the re-awakening beyond the grave. The funeral procession was over half mile n length, consisting of about sixty carriages. As in ante-bellum days many negroes followed their master to his last resting place. People from the country, from Montgomery, Mount Meigs. Iallassee and other places, came to attend the services.

HOW is 1T POSSIBLE?

To Editor of The Sentinel THE
experience of years has demonstrated
that at the present time all business
enterprises require great ability and
foresight. if not genius, to succeed.
Great financiers and successful men
have devoted their lives to the study
and practice of their trade or profess
sion. How is it possible, then. for
Municipalities to expect such quail
fiations from officials whose term of
| office is for one year or two years at
most. According to the most useful
of all books of reference, the report of
the U. S. census. 81 per cent of all
men who go into commercial bust
ness fail According to the best au-
tho rites 100 per cent. of all cities
which have tried municipal ownership
of electric light have failed to accom-
plish the desired end more cheaply
than responsible private corporation.
Why add Grand Junction to the list ?
Municipal ownership will undoubtedly
increase the taxes. There is no gain
saying that fact Just because the
municipal water plant furnishes water
cheaper than the old company did
does not prove that the tax levy is not
higher. We have to pay $15, 600 a year
more than we did before, on account
of the new plant. and before long we
will have to pay more than double
that amount to keep the municipal
,,1a tA
the mains.
Professor A. says: Facts regarding
municipal financiering are simply ap-
palling''. 1t is not too much to say
that every rule laid down by the sci
ence of financiering has been disre-
garded by our cities. Grand Junction
comes within these structures. If you
want municipal ownership badly, let us
give its advocates chance to show
what they can do on our streets. There
is good opening there. l doubt if there
is a man before the people in this cam
paign for the office of street supervisor
who knows the elementary principles
of building or caring for roads.
Therefore what resaon have we for
supposing that the new men who
would be put in charge of the propos-
ed new delicate and intricate electric
light plant will know anything about
running it or keeping it in good order?
Pehaps Alderman Hutchinson. the
short haired exemplar of long haired
anarchy, would like the job. Any
how as a taxpayer advi 'e my fellow
sufferers to let the municipal owner
ship cranks make some practical ex-
periments at their own expense first
b efore making us pay the fiddler. In
other words, let them TRY it on the
dog TAXPAYER.

HOW 1T is DONE.

The cartoon printed in the other
evening paper few days ago, we
thought would do some good. 1t was
made in Denver and printed IN "a Den

upon the Charter Convention to be

some people by being revamped over,
but it did us more harm than good.
as so many people recognized it as an
old cartoon. Il was like making a
newspaper cut of General Grant look
like Mr.. Allison.
Now 1 know it is little out of
place for City Ownership Follower
to write to your paper. At first

we could keep them in the background,

election. Our idea was all right, but
they wouldn't stand hitched and the
whole jig is up.

RESULTS IN A FlZZLE,

A few weeks ago some Of the mer-
chants along Superior street almost
went insane over the idea of keeping
open evenings to each the trade of
the lumbermen. The Clerks union
very promptly. took the matter up, and
agreed to work nights for extra pay.
Since the lumbermen having been COM
ing down the stores opened, and after
one weeks trial it is found that the
whole thing resulted in disappoint-
ment, and now over half Of the stores
close at the regular hour. In speak
ing Of the matter one Of the merchants
said: II have kept my store open in
the evenings for the last time. There
is nothing in it. We cannot get the
lumberman's trade anymore, Since
our surrounding country has been built
up this trade had been so divided up
that it really does not amount to very
much. Then there seems to be a diff
ferent class of men in the woods now
a-days, who do not seem to care about
working very steady in the woods.

WINDOW AND JUSTICE,

Judge Window is making an envia-
BILE record for himself as judge of the
municipal court. The law. and court
dignity may prescribe certain man.
ner in dealing out justice, but Judge
Window does not always stand on dig
nifty.
This week an Italian named Gentle
was convicted Of having induced two
young girls, aged 10 and Is to a low
basement resort on West Superior
street.
In pronouncing sentence the judge
said: 1.-THE charge against this man
merits more severe penalty than the
law permits in this court. I will i'm
pose as heavy, q penalty as can, but
the sentence should be that of hang
ing.
Gentle, this loathsome, repulsive,
contemplate business that you have
been engaged in should be punishable
by death rather than mere fine Of
500 or imprisonment for a period of
ninety days."
More than this, such low dives
should not be allowed to run. No time
should be lost in closing the place Of
a man who would permit such an af-
fair as this to take place on his prem
Uses.

Dor may attain the enjoyment Of it's
rights, or from that of the man who
believes that it. would only retard the
progress of labor by destroying the
union, it is evident that it is a. matter
of more than ordinary moment.
1t will no doubt be agreed that the
question must be settled, sooner or
later, and that the sooner it can be
agreeably disposed of the better. Ger
tainly no one will contend that the
acrimonious debate which it occasions
is desirable, or that the lack OF unan-
unity which it evidences is an element
of strength in the labor movement.
1t is one thing to oppose political
action by the trade union and quite
another thing to oppose such action
by the workers. Political action by
trade unions would, in our judgment,
be serious mistake while we are con-
fdent that such action by the workers
is necessary to achieve the victory for
which they are battling. Only let us
make this distinction and all will be
we'll.

OUSTED A MORMON ELDER.

Here is an example of churchanity,
too frequently miscalled christianity.
The ladies of the Womans Home Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist Epis-
copal church at Philadelphia were
holding their annual gathering and
were to be addressed by DR.. Sarah j.
Elliott, formerly a. medical missionary
among the Mormons. While DR.. Ell
lott was delivering her speech against
Mormonism, a, middle aged man edged
his way to the front and handed to DR..
Elliott his card, which identified him
as a Mormon Elder on a Mission to
Pennsylvania. He asked the privilege

On the same evening in the City of
Duluth, two Salvation Army girls en-
tered a Bowery saloon selling the Ar

spectacle looking man at the bar, in
semi-intoxicated condition. One Of
the lassies approached him, and in the
most truly christian manner pleaded
with him to abandon his present hab-
it's.
While she was beseeching him it
could be seen that he was undergoing
a strain, and her loving way attracted
all those in the bar room about her.
Finally the inner man showed Itself,
and as he shook the good girls hand,
he said: THANK you, with the help
of God, I'll be better man."
He quit the place Immediately, and
when the army girls were leaving the
saloonkeeper said: "God bless you
girls, you've done some good tonight ~
