The Campaign Against Splitting.
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 The success which has so far attend ed the campaign against expectoration in public places shows that there was public sentiment ready to support such an ordinance as soon as 1t was passed. This sentiment only needed to be chrys- talzed to give 1t effect. The result is seen already in cleaner sidewalks and public places and a sensible dimnution of the offensive habit on the part of pe- destrians and street car passengers. Much. however, remains to be done before the city will be reasonably free of this blot on its appearance. The public needs to be further educated in the matter. and the ordinance against the habit and the pen- alty attached should be gwen as wide publicity as possible. The posting of mo- tices to this effect In conspicuous places about the city is an effective means to this end. Other means are agitation by the newspapers and the efforts of organ ized societies particularly of women, to persuade men to give up the habit If these methods are systematically em- ployed the practice of expectoration in public will be brought to an end in this city

The Wisdom of Pastlme.

From SUCCESS.
 There is wisdom and strength in gen. uine pastime One often accomplishes more by spending a pleasant evening in some innocent games or other amuse- ment than he would by boring ovef books with tired brain and exhausted body. He may have had qualms of con- science about 1t, and thought that even ings given to social enjoyment were practically lost out of his life. Far from itl To better purpose than he dreamed of was the time employed. Body and mind were strengthening, and uncon- sciously, without effort, being fltted for better work In the future.

Coal Barons Defeat the Anna

OWENTON GAME MONDAY
Yesterdays Game Was Very Exciting and Many Cases of Heart Disease Are Reported-Wllhelm Wins
 First Game at Cincinnati.

Notwithstanding that they were out played at every stage of the game the l Coal Barons yesterday defeated the Attn letic club amateurs by the score Of to 1 O. At least that is what 1t was when the men quit scoring.
 | It was q game well worth walking miles to see, and the spectators were unanimous in the opinion that they had never seen anything like 1t. It is true the amateurs did not hit the ball hard and got caught on the bases, and 1t might be added thai | they also missed majority of the balls 1 to the field, but with all that they showed 1 the Coal Barons up in great style when ever a professional would try to steal l home or third while the pitcher had the | ball in his hand the amateurs would play foxy and frequently put him out. This happened to Jimmy OBrien and DufIy l and they both felt awful sore at the um- l plre.
 Keenan Is Par Excellence.
 By the way, this man Keenan is the l limit when 1t comes to handling the indi- cator. He called everything in the field wrong, but when 1t came to balls and l strikes he was there with the goods. His eye is as keen as the traditional eagle and no one could question one of his de- cisions on pitched balls. He was par excellence In fact 1t Is rumored that Keenan will resign as a pitcher and go into the umpire business regularly.
 He called two or three of them strikes that went over Maguire's head, but that
 
 assume the graceful attitude that Is re- quired in upper-ten baseball
 Probably the most phenomenal work in the game was done by Champ Pickens in right field In a bright red suit he set the field on fire with his dazzling work, and when he came to the bat the profes- sionals were motioned to the farthest cor ner of the lot. If he had landed the ball would have gone over the fence, but he failed to land. Everybody knows that Champ Is a great hitter, however and they took his failure good naturedly and when he struck out the Coal Barons heaved a sigh of relief. In the field he did not catch any flies, but that was not his fault, as the ball in use was not up to the regulation weight and he said last night that two of the stitches in the cover were sewed about two degrees off the line
 Heart Disease In Grand Stand.
 The game was 80 exciting that several spectators had to be taken from the grand stand suffering with heart disease.
 The next team to tackle the Coal Ba- rons will be the Owenton College club and they will show what they can do on Monday afternoon. This is really a good club and will make some lively sport. They have a strong battery and several good hitters.

Farmers Evicted By Floods.

V1NcENNEs, Ind, Feb. l9.-High
water, which has turned to ice, and
the bitter cold, has brought intense
destitution and much suffering in
scores of homes in the Emberras bot.
toms, south of here. Thousands of
acres of land which last week we're
under water are now covered with ice,
and many homes are entirely sur.
rounded by it.
The Wabash river continues to rise
and add to the destitution in the DESC
late district. The farmers are fighting
with hunger and cold, and those who
have not moved out of the lowlands
are prep ared to do SO on short notice.
ln some cases people are living in
tents which they have pitched on the
side of hill or on top of the levee.

May Call Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate of the Fifty.
eighth congress unless both the Pam
ANA canal and the Cuban reciprocity
treaties are ratified at the present ses-
sion. The president made this decla-
ration of his intention to several sena.
tors to day, and he made it as en-
phatic and unequivocal as he was ca
pable Of making it.
1t is deemed likely by officials Of the
administration, and by many senator's,
that both treaties will be ratified be-
fore March 1, but the necessity for
their early ratification is regarded by
the president as so urgent that in the
event of the failure of either one or
both at the present session he will is
sue Immediately his call for an extra
session.. 1t is said that there are
grave reasons OF state why both trea-
ties should be ratified as soon as pos
sible. These have induced the presi.
dent to make to senators the an.
nouncement of his determination.

Cubans Favor Reciprocity.

HAVANA, Feb. 20.-The committee
on foreign relations this afternoon
submitted to the senate its report, re-.
commenting ratification of the reci-
procity treaty with the United States
without amendment. 1t will probably
be ratified.
The report quotes the estimate of the
secretary of the treasuryGto the effect
that the reduction in customs receipts
under the treaty based upon Cuba's
present tariffs, would be 81, 800, 900,
but under the supposition tina imports
from America will increase from 80
per cent, the present figure, to 70, the
decrease will be $2,800,OO0. The com.
mittee in conclusion urges the ratifi-
cation because the treaty defines the
the commercial rel ationsof the United
States and Cuba, and clears the COM
mercial horizon and gives sure basis
for commercial policy.

Nine persons lost their lives and forty
two were severely injured in a fire tn at
destroyed the Clifton hotel here early
today. The injured were scorched or
forced to jump to the frozen street
from the second and third story win

bodies remain in the ruins of the
hotel, which is said to have been a.
t1imsy structure filled with delegates
to the state Young Mems Christian
association convention and the dis.
trict convention of Knights of Pythias.
The hotel register was destroyed, max.
ing it difficult to ascertain the num-
Der of missing persons. Forty men
have been working in the debris all
day and will continue to dig for the
remains of the buried persons all

Smoked Out and Shot.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2O.-After
holding half a hundred bluecoats at
bay for several hours, during which a
number of shots we're exchanged, La
fayette Simms, desperate negro, was
killed by the police early today in a
negro boarding house situated
on South Rampant street. The
room in which he was bes;eged had to
be set on fire and the department cal.
led out before Simms could be driven
from his post. AS he attempted to es-
cape, still carrying his gun, he was
shot down.
The origin Of the trouble was trivial.
Simms secured room in the boarding
house, in which there were seven beds.
On retiring last night he locked the
door, and when the landlord early this
morning asked him to open it so that
another lodger might be admitted
Simms refused. Then the landlord
sent for the police.

MEAT PACKERS ENJOINED.
Federal Court Forbids Combination To
Control Livestock Industry.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-The demurrer of
the packers in the so.called 'beef
trust case was overruled by Judge
| Grosscup in the United States court
today and motion granted for a
temporary injunction.
"There can be no doubt,' said
Judge Grosscup, that the agreement
OF the defend ants to refrain from bid.
ding against each other in the pur.
chase Of cattle is combiu alton in re-
straint of trade: so also their agree.
ment to bid up prices to stimula ate
shipments, intending to cease from
bidding when the shipments have ar.
rived. The same result follows when
we turn to the comb alton of defend.
ants to fix prices upon and restrict
the quantities of meat shipped to their
agents or their customers. Such
agreements can be nothing less than
restriction upon competition, and,
therefore, combin alton in restraint of
trade, and thus viewed, the petition as
an entirety makes out a case under
the Sherman act.
sit may be true the way of enforce
ing any decree under this petition is
beset with difficulties and that literal
enforcement may result in vexatious
interference with defendants aft airs.
But in the inquiry before me, | am
not at liberty to stop before such con-
siderations. The Sherman act, as in.
terpreted by the supreme court, is the
law of the land, and to the law as it
stands both court and people must
pay obedience.
''The demurrer is overruled and The
motion for injunction granted
The packers did not announce what
their next step would be. They have
twenty days within which to make up
their minds. If they dispute the facts
upon which Judge Grosscup based his
decision, the matter will go before a
master 10 chancery, and be argued
again before Judge Grosscup.
The packers, however, may decide
to take an appeal in order to hasten
the final adjudication of the case. 1t
is not thought likely they will let the
matter go by default and thus make
the injunction permanent.
