A TEMPERANCE LUMBER YARD
Philadelphia Men Had the Courage Of
Their Convictions.


We have all heard OF temperance
grocery stores. temperance hotels, etc,
but many people never heard Of a
temperance lumber yard. Yet for
many years such an establishment ex-
listed at the corner of Seventh and
Carpenter streets. Messrs. r. l.. and
C. L. Nicholson conducted the lumber
business there and had large trade,
but would never sell foot of lumber
to any one connected with the liquor
business II they knew 1t. On one &C.
casion a builder, who is still living.
called there, and, after buying a large
lot, went into the office and planked
down the money. AS the clerk was
about to hand him the bill he asked
where 1t was to be sent, and on being
told that 1t was to be delivered to a
beer saloon or South street, said at
once, "The sale is off; we never sell
goods to anyone connected with that
business" and all the talking the
builder (who was and is still lifelong
teetotaler) could do did not alter the
decision. His money was politely
handed back and he was compelled to
go elsewhere for the lumber. Never
theless, a large amount Of temperance
lumber was sold at this yard for many
years, both before and after this in
cident.-Thiladelph Ledger.

WENDELL PHILLIPS AND JOHN BOYLE OREILLY.
Splendid Tribute Paid the Great Orators Memory by His Lifelong
Friend and CoWorker.

It was our privilege during many
years to count Wendell Phillips and
John Boyle O'Reilly among our best
friends.
We well remember the evening
when both, at our request, took part
In one Of our annual meetings at the
fremont temple. II was at the time
when we were fighting at the state
house for our law to prohibit the shoot
ing OF pigeons from traps. We were
opposed by some hundreds of Boston
gentlemen. who employed three prom
inent lawyers. and we needed help.
We need not say that our application
to Wendell Phillips and John Boyle
OReilly brought the help we wanted
and assisted us in causing the law to
be enacted.
From O'Reilly's poem on the death
OF Phillips, in the Boston Pilot of Nov.
is, we take the last two verses:
Come, brothers, here to the burial!
But weep not, rather rejoice.
For his fearless life and his fearless
death; for his true, unequaled voice.

Good Men for Washington.

The Washington club will have a
strong local contingent in its ranks
next season. Four of its players,
already signed, claim Washington as
their home, while at least three more
live so close to the Capital City that
they may be called neighbors. Gene
De Montreville gained his baseball
knowledge and training on the lots
In northeast Washington and has re-
sided here most of the twenty-three
years of his life. In 1899 he was Sc
cured by the powerful Georgetown
university team, where his work at
the short field has attracted the eyes
of the managers Of many major league
clubs. Although Pitcher Wyatt Lee
came to Washington from Kansas

yet he now claims Washington as his
future home. Lew Drill Is the fourth

A WESTERN WOLF DRIVE,
II Casts a Drag Net Over Twenty
Square Miles Of Territory.


Everything is big out here-the
men. the ranches, the aspects OF the
earth itself, says the Wahoo (Neb.)
correspondent Of the Buffalo Express.
Hunting is big like the rest. II has q
breadth that astonishes the Fastener.
And, like everything else in the West,
sport out here has its practical side.
Wolves and wildcats kill the cattle,
and so the men hunt them as a means
OF getting rid # them.
The average wolf drive takes in
twenty square miles. Four captains
take charge, each of one side of the
big square. They set their men in
motion at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
and all the hunters simultaneously
begin to push in toward the center.
AS they go they drive along in front

Chapel, in the northwestern part Of

pastor for sixty years. Like Mr.. May.
he has persistently refused to accept
anything for his services. Three
thousand couples have been united in

The third member Of this wonderful

forty years, and, like his two brother
workers, he has declined to accept any
remuneration for his labors. Elder
Graham has kept daily diary for the

Baseball War la Ended.

Peace has been established between
the National and American Baseball
leagues. After session at Cincin'
natl which lasted hardly more than
eight hours the committees represent.
Ing the two leagues gave out a type.
written statement which shows on
what basis peace was secured. A
more remarkable meeting than that
which brought peace between the two
leagues is not recorded in the history
of baseball. The fairness with which
both sides acted and the consideration
that both sides showed was most un.
usual and unexpected.
Even the members of the confer.
ence are astounded at the rapidity
with which they took action. Credit
for this is given to President August
Hermann of the Cincinnati club. Mod.

al league were overshadowed by him.
His manner of doing business was a
revelation to the baseball world and It
Is all the more remarkable when the
fact is taken into consideration that
Mr.. Hermann has only been identified
with the game few months.
The action which was taken by the
committees, while 1t virtually settles
the baseball war, is not absolutely I'm.
al. The conference agreed with Pres.
ident Hermann and voted to have the
action of the committees ratified by
the two leagues. This will be done
within the next few weeks.
But there is no doubt OF a ratiflca.
ton. The National league conferees
did not sign until after they were
given such powers by wire from their
respective clubs.
The salient points OF the peace pact
are as follows:
Mutual respecting of contracts and
reserve clauses.
Circuits to remain as announced
American in New York but not In

both leagues necessary to a change.
Non-conflicting schedules where pos

The Umpire Problem,

The umpire problem is receiving
more attention than was accorded to
4. in former years. The magnates
realize that they must meet the de.
mand OF patrons for clean ball, and In
many of the minor leagues the salaries
of the officials in charge of games
will be advanced This Is a step In
the right direction, but better support
from the club owners will accomplish
more than increase In the salaries of
umpires. President Johnson's policy
ia the best. The American league
executive stands by his umpires
against club owners and Furnishes
players who defy their authority. The
National League, through its execu-
tive committee, followed along these
lines last season, and subdued the
spirit Of rowdyism in its teams to
marked degree. The minor leagues
must adopt like course to bring
about reforms. The club-owner must
submit to the defeat OF his team with.

For his brave heart always ready to
enter the weak ones fight;
For his soul unmoved by the mobs
wild shout or the social sneer's dis
grace;
For his freeborn spirit that drew no
line between class or creed or race.
Come, workers; here was teacher,
and the lesson he taught was good;
There are no classes of races, but one
human brotherhood:
There are no creeds to be outlawed,
no colors Of skin debarred;
Mankind is one in its rights and
wrongs-one right, one hope, one
guard.
BY his life he taught, by his death we
learn the great reformer's creed:
The right to be free, and the hope to
be just, and the guard against selfish
greed.
And richest Of all are the unseen

BY the toil-soiled hands of workmen-
