The name of Gregory. DIlchigan's star

any entrance examinations and did not

and so he dropped out
"Yost went to Michigan. This young
man went on to Michigan and has been

that such things do not happen All

Yostlike man about us are not to be
counted as sinless. The faculty has du-

The case of Gergory has not come

THIS IS WHY.
What Wholesale Paving Is Do
ing to the Tax Payers.

IF you want to know why your city
taxes are increasing. bear in mind that
at the council meeting Monday night,
official estimates were presented show
ing that out of $159, .06 to be spent
this summer as part of the cost of new
paving, $50, S474 will have to be paid
not by the abutting property on the
streets paved. but by the city at large.
These figures are official, taken from
the estimates prepared according to law
by the city engineer. and approved last
night by the council. The estimates
show just how many feet of curbing,
how many square yards of sand and
bricks will be needed. how many cubic
yards Of dirt will have to be moved,
how much rolling will have to be done,
how many catch basins, how many
crossings figured down to
the last penny The prices fixed in the
estimates are the maximum which the
city sets for the contractors, and says:
This is as high as we will CO.
To pay off this $50. 4s474, the taxes of
the city will have to be increased about
one half mill. The bonds must be paid
levy raises a little over $1,000.
But this is not all. Another lot Of
paving has already been estimated. and
the total amount which will be spent
on paving this year will be close to
s175,000- The city will no doubt have
about $4,000 of this to pay out of its
funds raised by general taxation.
Every year the increase in paving
has been causing the taxes of the city
to advance from one-half to one mill a
year That is the explanation of the
steady increase in taxes for the past
five years.
The estimates prepared by the city
engineer. which the council approved
last night, and from which the above
summary is obtained, are in lump sums
as follows:

GOSSIP ABOUT THE PLAYERS.
ssWee Willie" Keeler's Salary of $1o+
600 Is the Highest.

900 Is the Highest.
The eve of the opening of the baseball
season is now at hand The National
league fires the first gun Wednesday,
April Is. and one week later the Ameri-
cans and westerns also begin opera
tions. Then will the fight for the PEN
nants be on in earnest.
The teams in the National league
present a front vastly different from
that of last year. The American
league. under the effective guidance Of
President Ban Johnson. has made still
further inroads into the ranks of the
Nationals, and at the present time his
hustling organization may truthfuuy
be said to possess more individual stars
than the National. But this state or
affairs constitutes phase of what some
folks are pleased to term the fortunes
Of war" and all fair minded observers
must admit that if one warning body
proves stronger and astute enough to
secure an advantage over another the
victor has a rightful claim to the spoils.
While it is very true that the Amerl-
can league has taken extreme measures
in securing certain players of the Ma
tiOnal persuasion, yet, on the whole,
their principal mode of attack lay in
offering these players sums of money
far in excess of the reward the older
organization gave for their services II
the nationals did not deem it expedient
to meet these offers, they have but
themselves to blame.
Probably the most serious inroad Of
Americans on the Nationals this year so
far as the players are concerned has
been the securing of Wee Willie" Keel
err for the New York team. Keller was
one of the most popular players in the
National, and was the mainstay of Ned
Hanlon's Brooklyn Superbas. He alone,
it may we'll be said. was the player
capable of drawing big crowds to the
Brooklyn's splendid grounds at Wash
ington park. and his loss leaves Hanlon
in despair The able manager is doing
his best. of course. to fill Keeler's place
but he has an impossible task before
him. AS captain of the BrOoklyns last
year Keller did good work with In
ferior material and it is doubtful if his
successor will produce such satisfactory
results.
The Nationals were also disappointed
in not being able to control the services
of Ed Delehanty for this season. Del
was reported to have accepted several
hundred dollars advance money from
one of the National teams. and it was
stated that he would not be seen in the
ranks of the Americans. There's many
