Word Coinage" points out that some
words go out of fashion and come
back. like tan shoes and wide rllnEeu
hats. although the change in words IS
much slower than the change IL dress.
In Sponsors day "forestall." "fain.

"dapper" were not considered good. but
they have since gained responsibility
and won their place in the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as

to life again and walk the pages of our

HIS SECOND THOUGHT.

Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known

Champlain to Ogdensburg, n. Y, pass

This village nestled in Il valley be-
tween two great hills. over which the
white ribbon of the road wound steep

Upon one Of the trips Of the stage the
regular driver. who had been at home
for some weeks recovering from an Ill

the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was beautiful one. and the passen-

dashing down the hill at a rate rapidly

reeling stage and held their breath in

told by Prof. TheO. Noel, the man

hills of the southwest, first brought

pany of Chicago, whose large adver-
tiscment will be found on page 16
of this issue.
This mineral, a magnetic ORE, is
a subtle combination or blending of
elements, a formation peculiar to the
locality of its discovery, as it has
been found no where else, that re-

mixing the ore with water-tO make
1t a most powerful and effective rem

papers have found it.
The offer made by the company to

"DEL" IN DEMAND
New York Americans Ready to As
sumo All the Player's Obligations.

The New York American League club ia
so anxious to secure the services of Out
fielder Delehanty from the WASHINGTON
club that the New York magnates are will
ing to pay the $1,000 Delehanty owes the
New York Nationals and will then pay an
additional bonus to the Washingtons, at the
same time assuming the players contract
at salary Of $4,000 for the coming sea-
son, says the New York Sun. In other
words, the New York Americans stand
ready to put UP close to $1,000 for Dele
hanty's services. without releasing Lefty
Davis. President Gordon believes that the
New York base ball public wants this star
player and If Manager Lotus of the Wash
ingtons will give his consent the deal will
go through. LOTUS has declared that he
would not part with Delehanty under any
circumstances, but the latter has posi-
lively stated that he wilt not play ball in
Washington and will retire If he cannot
play with the New York Nationals or
Americans Delehanty belongs to the
American League until he Is released, SO
that he cannot do business with any club
outside that organisa ton: George Davis
case Is precisely the same. The New York
Nationals are still trying to effect deal
with the Chicago Americans for Davis
who Is wanted to play third base. Presi-
dent Pulliam of the National League says
that Davis cannot play with Brush's club.
no matter If he should receive favorable
of his 1901 contract with the local Ma
tional League club, which he jumped to
go with Comiskey.
President Ban Johnson visited the new
American League grounds in New York
yesterday to decide several questions in
doubt. In order to avoid short left field
fence it was decided before stalking out the
diamond to secure some measurements on
the Polo Grounds. So several surveyors
with steel tape lines visited the National
League grounds and measured the distance
from third base to the foul post up the
alley In left field finding that 1t was just
263 feet. They were not discovered until
the job had been completed. This infor-
nation gave Business Manager Gavin an
excellent line on how to proceed at the new
park and before shutdown the playing field
was practically all staksd off.

seven or eight teams in the tournament the
Washington club about five and there will
probably be half dozen other teams from
smaller clubs. It was expected that large
delegation of women minister's from Balti-
more would take part in the tourney, but
for some unexplained reason they will not
be participants, Handsome pins. will be
awarded to the team securing the highest
