No intercollegiate league will be at

Gently underwent an operation for the
removal Of a small piece of glass from

Cincinnati will see an important meet
Ing OF the base ball commission within the
next fortnight. A number of disputes are
up for settlement.
The st. Louis National League club has
accepted the terms made by Joe Corbett
for his re-entree into base ball, and the
chances are that he will be with the
Cardinals next season.
Manager Collins has just put out Jack
OBrien- Not Philadelphia Jack, but the
Boston outfielder.
Philadelphia and Detroit will each have
men next year who make no secret of the
fact that they are lushers. Many other
major league clubs will have players who
are not SO frank.
Manager Hanlon announced that Frank
Dillon, who is playing in California at
present, will captain the Brooklyn team
and also succeed Jack Doyle at first ba se
Dillon was with Louisville some years ago
Roger Bresnahan Of the New Yorks
ranks Willis, Philippe and Hahn as the
tnree hardest pitchers for him to solve
during the past season. Fortunately he
was not compelled to face either Mat
thewson or McGinnity or there might have
been further shrinking of his batting
average.
The question whether First Baseman
Dickey of the Rock Island team belongs
TO milwaukee, or indianapolis has not been
settled. Manager Cantillon said that In
dianapolis drafted him, but failed to nav
the draft price in time. A later agree
ment was made whereby INDIANAPOLIS was
u, pay the draft price at a later date. but
as that club again allowed the time to PASS
without making payment, the Rock Island
club notified Dickey that he did not belong
to Indianapolis. Then he signed with Joe
Cantillon, and now it appears to be a uues-
ton of getting release from Rock Island
IN order that he may become a Brewer.

USE OF APPLES.
Financial and Dietetic Value of a
Growing American Crop.

From the Independent
The more mellow apples one eats the bet
ter. provided they be taken at meal times.
1t is best of all to eat fruit before meals.
and freely as you like
This will prevent loading the system with
a heavy weight Of less digestible foods.
Senator Vest says that if man wishes to
live long and be able to keep I'D his work
he must eat not less than one apple with
every noon lunch; we are not sure but he
said half a dozen. The no-breakfast fad
tells us that we must not only go without
the morning meal. but that We must live
much more largely upon fruit Some of its
disciples insist that the apple may be taken
In the place of the ordinary breakfast. John
Wesley once referred to apple dumplings as
an illustration of the alarming advance of
luxuries In England. Charles Lamb quotes
a friend who says that "a man cannot have
a pure mind who refuses apple dumplings,"
and DR.. Johnson speaks of a CLERGYMAN OF
his acquaintance who brought his family
up almost altogether on this Anglo Saxon
combination. We have recollections of
dumplings which might have been the ord-
gin Of Calvinfsm. 1t must be borne in mind
that the ideal apple is one that is fit to be
eaten raw: yet the glorious old Spitzenburg
Is only fit for the cook-in whose hands 1t
becomes the very perfection Of pie apples.
The nineteenth century went out with
marvellous evolution of new sorts of fruits
of all kinds; but there was nothing in the
list to exceed the delicious juices of the
Northern Spy, the Macintosh Red, the
Shannon or the Stuart's Golden.
There Is nothing in the world to exceed
the beauty of the apple blossom; while the
air is laden with an exquisite perfume that
has charmed hundred generations-has
added to the poesy. the love and the COM
fort of Greek. of Roman and of Briton.
But II there be anything more beautiful
than the apple in blossom it is the same
tree loaded down with crimson and golden
fruit Then 1t is that the apple touches hu-
man nature and wakens in the housekeeper
the highest conceptions of the science and
the fine art of dietetics.

BROOKLYN CUTS EXPENSES.
Plausible Rumor That Sheckard Ha
Been Sold to New York.

The rumor will not down in base ball cir
cles that the Brooklyn Club has sold the re-
lease of Outfielder James Sheckard to the
New York Nationals for cash, the amount
being placed all the way from 5000 to $1O,-
OOO The story has been In circulation for
several days, but no official Of the Brooklyn
Club. not even President Charles H. Eb-
bets. has seen fit to enter an explicit denial.
The officials of the New York Club have
made only the statement that the story of
Sheckards purchase was decidedly prema-
ture, which gives color to the report that
the deal was made several weeks ago, but
owing to the Indignation of Brooklyn ball
cranks because Of the release of the star
shortstop Dahlen, to the New Yorks, 1t
was agreed to keep the matter quiet until
the black clouds Of trouble had blown over.
A mouthpiece for the Brooklyn club has
spread broadcast the information that the
club will in future practice economy, that
the Brooklyn people prefer the race tracks
on Long Island to Washington Park. and
that In order to meet expenses the high
salaried stars of the past much be replaced
by cheaper young blood. In Manager Han
Ion the club has an expert at picking up
talent, and for that reason the owners think
that when Hanlon has sprung few of his
new players from California and elsewhere
Dahlen, Sheckard and other cracks who
helped to bring the pennant to Brooklyn
will be readily forgotten.
In other words. the club practically ad-
mts that the game is not paying at Wash
ington Park. and that expenses must drop
in order to avoid a crash. F. A. Abell who
put up his money to help the club along
TOT years out of pure love for the game
still holds forty per cent of the stock but
he no longer takes an interest Two years
ago he was forced into the BACKGROUND by
his partners, Won der Horst. Hanlon and
EDDetS, VINO together control sixty per cent
OF the stock, and that proved to be the last
straw.

North Fork, W. Va. letter TO the Point Pleasant
Gazette.
1t Is not generally known that Aracoma.
better known as Logan, is richer In prehis-
toric relics than any other town on the face
of Gods green earth. The county was
named in honor of Logan. chief OF the
Mingo tribe of Indians and the county
seat of Logan county was named in honor
of the beautiful daughter of Logan-Indian
princess-Aracoma. An effort was made
at the last municipal election there to
change the name of Aracoma to Nighbert.
The citizens voted almost unanimously
against it. Only a short time ago excava-
-tions were made at Aracoma for a small
cellar. when fourteen Indian skeletons were
unearthed. and among the number were
the remains of Aracoma, the Indian prin-
cess. More than a wagonload of bones
were disinterred. bear tusks ten inches long
and many Indian ornaments in that ex-
cavation not more than twenty feet square.
The larger part of the town site of Ara
coma is a charnel house containing as
many skeletons as the catacombs of Rome

and died there. These skeletons 30 long
undisturbed, will be unearthed by the
thousands in a few weeks, when the rail-
road grading for the Guyan Valley railway
will be constructed through the Indian GEM

finest and largest specimen of Indian toma-
hawk known in existence. which was pre-

the town of Aracoma. 1t Is positively

THE INDIANA MILITIA.

The, Indiana militia has made a good
record at Evansville. in saving that
city from mob violence. The view has
been almost traditional in the United
States since the earliest days that the
militia won't fight. More than once the
citizen soldier has made a lamentabie
record in great crises. as when he ran
away from Washington during the war
Of 1912 and permitted an inferior force
OF British to burn the national capitol.
During the New York draft riots of
1863 the militia did not distinguish it
self and il did but little better at the
Orange riots in New York in 1871. In
| 1877 when. owing 10 a great railroad
| strike, fourteen States were in insur-
rection. the militia had to give way in
disgrace and leave the settlement to
the regulars. At Chicago in the strike
| there, General Miles despite the size
OF the Illinois militia. was obliged to
take hold and in the railroad strike in
California a few years ago the United
States forces, after witnessing a dis
play of weakness on the part of the
militia. took the whole matter out of
its hands. The unfortunate story of
the Eastern militia regiment which
went into the battle of Santiago and
of the sister regiments which refused
to go into tie war at all. is still fresh
in the publ: mind.
The trouble with the militia has not
been in the quality Of its men but in
political control as respects the choice
of officers, the attempted use of guards |
men against their own friends and |
neighbors. the want to stern discipline, |
the inherent sympathy of men for strik- |
ers from whose ranks they were per-
haps recruited and from whom they |
differ only in uniform. and finally the |
fact that a soldier must be soldier |
and not a civilian dressed in soldier
clothes. But the same men turned into
volunteers and sent to the field under
trained officers, often make splendid
In dispensing the Evansville mob,
killing and wounding many and saving
the city from the torch, the Indiana
militia has set new pace; and it is one
the rest of the militia ought to follow
on occasion, if it is going to fulfill its
purpose in the organization of the
State The militia was not intended to
be a social or ornamental corps but a
police in time of peace and
time of war. AS such it's chief business
Is to learn to fight and to fight when
called upon by the proper authority.
That is now the Indiana way and |
should be the national way.
