Obituary.

Died, near German, Garrett coun-
tY, Md, on Nov. Sd, 1903, Mrs. Eliza
White, wife of ]. NJ White, aged 50
years, 5 months and 28 days. The
funeral services were held at the resi-
dence, conducted by the Rev. West
fall of the NJ. +. church, of which
Mrs. White was member for at least
forty years. Her remains were inter
red in the family cemetery at home
on the 4th inst. after an impressive
sermon from above named minister
The pail bearers were Mrs. Whites
four sons, b. F., Scott, John W., and
William, and two of her brothers,
Elijah and Thomas Moon. Mrs.
White had been an invalid for about
three years and though great suff-
erer she bore her affection with
christian fortitude looking forward
to the time when she would be releas-
ed from all sorrow and pain. Two
days before her departure with her
fluttering breath and feeble voice she
clearly sang the whole of that beauti-
full hymn beginning Jesus, Lover of
my Soul, =" and on the day before her
departure as a friend was leaning
over her administering assistance,
Mrs. w. took her hand and as bright
smile lit up her features she looked
up and said, trouble, all of my
troubles are ended, all in peace" and
when death came how calm and peace
full was its entrance as it severed the
link that united that family circle,
bearing away loving wife and moth
er. Just as the soft gentle zephyrs
of balmy Indian summer morning
was driving away the mists of dark
ness, how sweetly did her soul pass
from this earth to its future home
The tender, loving care of her hus-
band and children soothed her pain
during her long illness. She never
murmered or!ever expressed a wish
to live only for the sake of her family

Cow Canses Costly Passenger Train WIRE ok
Passenger train No. south bound
on the West Virginia Central & Pitts
burg railway, was wrecked Monday
morning just north Of Hendricks by
COW which the engine struck. The
engine and tender went into the riy-

was painfully cut about the head, but
it was miraculous that no passenger
was hurt and that all escaped serious
injury.
The combination mail and baggage
coach was tossed from the track and
the ladies' coach was derailed. All
passengers were transferred yesterday
and the train due here at p. m. ar.

lowered by pulieys. The canals are con-
nected with the greater canals outside, so
that freight thus transferred can be sent
from here to Berlin, or by the Elbe and
other canals down to the great system OF
the Rhine.
The city claims that a great part Of its
prosperity comes from its free port. This
is a section which is covered with enormous
warehouses where goods can be stored
without paying duty and later on be shipped
in bond to any part OF the world. II they
go to Germany they must pay duty on leav-
ing the free harbor, but II elsewhere they
are not taxed except in the country OF
their landing.
/ have spent several days in this free
harbor section during my stay here. 1t
lies right on the river. It comprises about
$500 acres OF land and water bounded by
floating palisades in the Elbe and by the
customs canal on the side Of the city. The
port contains almost 1900 acres of land,
and this space is covered with vast ware
houses Of red brick, which look more like
our fats than anything else. The land is
cut up by canals so hat ships can come
right 10 the warehouses. There is a Gus
toms canal separating this harbor from the
remainder of Hamburg. and this is crossed
by many bridges, at each of which a GUS
toms officer stands to examine what is
brought out. l was even questioned as TO

They are packed with all kinds Of goods
awaiting shipment. In one l found eofee
from Porto Rico and Brazil, being sorted
by about one hundred German girls, who
sat at long tables, picking out the bad
beans and grading the good ones for ship
ment. Another warehouse had American

and another held thousands OF dollars
worth Of American flour. Then there were

ids furniture in boxes. 1 met some OF the
American agents, who informed me that
they found 1t better to leave their goods In
bond until they were needed.
This is a good place to see something OF
the shipping of Germany. You can take q
boat and ride for several hours from one
great wharf to another, passing sailing ves-
sells and steamers from all parts Of the
world. l have done so several times dur
ing my stay in Hamburg, and am amazed
at the enormous strides the Germans are
taking on the road of ocean commerce.
There are many great steamship companies
here, some Of which are almost unknown
in the United States. There are companies
which deal only with South America, some
which have regular vessels to Africa and a
large number which trade with the Baltic
countries. The German Baltic fleet now
amounts to more than 400, 900 tons. It's
ships call at the ports of Scandinavia, Fin
land and Russia and the North German
provinces, and sail thence to England and
other parts OF the world.
This is the headquarters of the Hamburg
American line, which in recent years has
become so prominent. II has now some of
the biggest and fastest ships afloat and it's
Atlantic ocean passengers number more
than $4,000 a year. 1t is capitalized at S40,-
900, 600 and II earns more than 10 per cent
on that amount. It has now 1877 ocean
steamers, more than $50 river steamers and
about 5000 employees.
The chief competitor OF the Hamburg
American line is the North German Lloyd,
which sails from Bremen. The two COM
panies were founded along about . half CEN
fury ago, although the North German Lloyd
is the younger by nine years. They both
started small and both now pay big inter-
est on large capital. The North German
Lloyd, for instance, is capitalized at $780,
900, 900. 1t employs in the neighborhood Of
10000 men and vies with the Hamburg
American as having the fastest ships upon
earth. In this company there are seventy

There are at least four weak spots on
the team. and +. DeHass Robson presi-
dent Of the team. has already given his
WUrd that the weak spots will be strength

With two more good infelders. another
good Outfielder. two pitchers and a catch

a team for the lS0i campaign that should

All season the Cardinals have been
handicapped for lack OF firSt-class first

weak.
In the spring the Cardinals lined up
with enough pitchers TO start a comic op-

of them were comic opera artists OF a
high. degree The coming season the mis-
take or stocking up on pitchers Will not
be repeated. Five pitchers should prove
enough for any team. A twirler who can
not work one day in four is hardly a de-
sirable asset. OF course. pitching nine in
nings entails a strain, but with three days
intervening between games. a pitchers
business arm should not suffer.

WRITTEN FOB. THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
One Of the causes responsible for the
Cardinals poor showing during the season
was the leniency OF the management to-
ward the players.
It is pleasing to note that a majority
Of the players on the team appreciated the
kind efforts OF the Messrs. Robson. and
have been in condition all the time to give
the club their best services. but there
have been others who. through personal
grievances. have failed 10 play up to the
best standard o. their ability.
It is a weH-knOwn fact that any. bail
team accorded too many privileges never
wins any pennants- 1t is unfortunate in
deed that there are always players VINO
win jump over the traces
Realizing this fact. the Cardinals man
asement will have to tighten the reins
q bit before next season. If they expect
to get out Of the hole in which they hn-
ished the 1903 campaign.
In the future offenses should punished
without the hezitancy that marked the
reprOvsl Of players during the season just
closed.
In no other walk OF life can a man
neglect his duties and avoid the conse-
quence OF wrath.
It should be so with the ball players.
They are only asked TO work about two
hours day, for which they are hand
sorely rewarded and they should be forced
TO Eivs the best service in their posses
sion to the club hiring them.
There are reasons TO believe that the
lsnient policy pursued by Donovan and
the RObisons during the season has not
been successful and 50 it IS only logical
that q change should be tried.
II IS not the intention Of the Cardinal
owners to make examples Of any OF the
players. but when Offenses are committed
in the future proper punishment will be
meted OCT with unstinUed hand.
Members Of the Cardinal team have had
every comfort during the season.
They have Travelled in befittiuE style and
Eave stopped at the best hotels besides
being paid salaries Of liberal proportions

on his season record. Joseph Jerome
McGinnity. popularly known in fandom
as the Iron Man. has captured thirty
one out Of forty-nine games.
This record as whole shows the
value OF the man. Pitching in forty
nine games means taking a turn in the
box every third game. a thing few twirl-
ers do.
Before the present season closed Nc
Ginnity established a mark for all fu-
ture aspiring twirlers TO shoot at.
During the month OF August. while
the Giants" were fighting hard to keep
from going downhin. Joe McGinnity
demonstrated that he is the possessor OF
an arm OF iron. a heart OF steel and Il
mind capable OF exploiting new situations
on the unwary batsmen.

box against the Boston Nationals and

he went back without even changing
clothing and was again returned a win

the Iron Man. TO :. IN each game the
best the Bostons were able to do with
his delivery was 70 make six hits.
q week later before 81 go fans gathered
at the Polo Grounds. McGinnity won his
second double-header against Hanlon's
Bridge Jumpers from Brooklyn.
In the first game BROOKLYN made eight
hits Off McGinnity. but the great twirler
grew better in the second game and let
the Brooklyn batters down with five
hits.
He completed his record on August 81,
when he pitched two games against the
PhiIlies at the Polo Grounds. and again
scored a double victory. In the first game
the ''Phnlies' made five hits. while in the
second game they made but six
