base lines at the home plate shall be

This rule was brought forward by
Tom LOTUS Of the American league
One important amendment made in
section Ill of rule 33 was changing
i. to read:
"A balk shall constitute any deliv-
cry of the ball to the batsman by
the pitcher while either foot of the
pitcher is back of the plate"
Some Of the minor changes are:
Limiting the catcher to a distance of
10 feet from the home plate; rule
80, in regard to delaying the game,
was not in the American league, so
was inserted; in like manner, the
rule in regard to baking was not in
the National league, and was in
serted.

Movement Of immigrants Promises
to Be Greatest in History.
MAY REACH MILLION MARK
European Agents Say the Business
This Year Will Break All Previous
Records, and That the Aggregate
Will Be Somewhere in the Vicinity
of Million.

With the coming of spring the rail
roads are having to deal with the
greatest movement of immigrants
the United States has ever seen. Yes
terday there came to Chicago from
the east over the Michigan Central
1900 homeseekers, bound for all por-
lions of the west, says the Chicago
Chronicle. This large body of per-
sons came through the port of Bos-
ton, and while they were landing and
getting to their destination, between
1000 and 5000 more were passing
through other ports of entry or were
or the sea, bound for the new world.
The announcement ten days or so
ago that there were more than 1000 .
immigrants then on board ships or
booked for passage on vessels to sail
within a few days, set the railroads
which usually handle this business
To SdLueTIUS cars LOT the occasion.
The Baltimore & Ohio, which usually
has large part of the business,
especially that which enters the
country through the port of Balti-
more, collected at it's eastern termi-
nal hundreds of coaches.
Between the lines in the immi-
grant agreement and those outside
of that arrangement there is strong
competition for this immigrant traf-
fic from the eastern seaboard to the
points of destination in the interior
o. the country. The magnitude of
the business makes it we'll worth
the while of the managers of the
passenger traffic departments OF the
roads to look out for it. The immi-
grants are carried in day coaches
and the large number makes it pos
sible to count on full loads for every
car in the trains from the beginning
o. the journey.
The known destination of the i'm
migrants makes it easy to so ar
range the several sections or cars in

Compulsory Attendance.

Congress has passed an act provid
ing for the compulsory attendance OF
witnesses in land cases, legislation
that was long demanded. In a circ,l-
lar letter received at the land Office,
particulars of the new law are given.
| The act of congress was approved
January 81, 1903, but the receipt of
the circular today was the first no.
t!ce here of such a law.
The law provides that subpoenas
shall be issued for the attendance of
witnesses and that these may be
served by the federal officers or any
person, and that witnesses shall re-
celve mileage and witness fees SINH
laI to those paid for attendance on
the federal courts. Any person who
refuses to appear when subpoenaed
is subject to q fine of not more than
$500 and Imprisonment of not to ex-
coed 80 days.
The new law also provides for the
taking of dispositions of witnesses
who reside outside of the county.
The law provides that the United
States attorney shall promptly prose
cute people VINO fail to respond to
subpoenas. The circular closes with
these instructions to the register and
receiver:
"The object and purpose of this
act is to afford litigants the means of
enforcing the attendance of wit
nesses when hearings are ordered.
l. is not exclusive in it's operations
to the extent of abOlishing the pres
emit methods, under the rules, by
which the attendance of witnesses
may be secured or their testimony
taken by deposition; and parties may
elect to use either method of pro
cedure.
But should they think proper to
proceed under the existing rules of
practice, and fail to secure the at
tendance of their witnesses, they
shall not be entitled to a continuance
as heretofore"

Baseball Rules.

The most important act of the
joint rules committee, composed of
representatives. of the National and
American leagues and the National
association, was the insertion in the
rules of the American league, of the
famous foul strike rule, which the
National has used :or the past two
years, but which was never before
adopted by the American league.
Section Ill, of rule "A of both leagues
now reads:
"A strike is a foul hit ball not
caught on the fly, unless two strikes
have already been called"
The new rule introduced in both
guides is section II of rule 1, and is:
''The pitchers box must not be
more than Is inches higher than the

the trains that if part of the load
is dropped off they all go from the
same cars. BY this means the roads
escape in a large measure the neces-
sity of hauling half filled cars and
the trains are profitable over every
mile of the route. While the amount
paid by the immigrants in second
class fare is much less than that re-
quired for transportation on the fast
running limited trains, the balance
of profit is largely in favor of the
immigrant train, as compared with
the flyers.
The fact that the business is profit
able and the assurance which Euro
pean agents give that the present
season is sure to break all records
in the number brought over, has
quickened the railroads Of the coun-
try to extra efforts to handle it.
While the number of immigrants
which came over last year was above
the 100000 mark, the best judges of
the traffic are confident that this will
be exceeded in 1903 by from 100000
to 100000. In fact, if the million
mark is passed before the close of
the year there will be no surprise.
While this enormous number of
new settlers is coming to the United
States, there is almost as great a
rush to the undeveloped regions Of
the British possessions on the north
More than 1000 passed through Mon
treal in one week, bound for the
Canadian northwest, and there is be-
hind this army large army of 9TH
ers The immigration to the Domin-
ion will not be less than 10000 in
the present year. say the experienced
traffic men, and when this is added
to the hundreds of thousands of 9TH
ers now on their way to the United
States, the sum total of new citizens
which the American continent is to
receive from the old world will
amount to more than third of the
whole white population of the colo

BUTTONS FOR WOMEN.
TIC Be Worn by Girls Who Do Not
Elirt.

Flirt.
New York telegram: Harry f.
Dyruff, president of the law and or
der league of New York, which was
recently organized in Brooklyn, with
the specific object of protecting wo-
men from insult and to stop the use
OF indecent and profane language in
public places, issued a statement re-
Gently. Part of it follows:
Five hundred letters have already
been received indorsing g the move
ment. About dozen letters, chiefly
anonymous, have also been received
condemning the movement, and
threatening the life of the president
OF the association
"Of the 500 letters, about 200 have
contained applications for appoint
ment as deputy sheriffs Out of that
number so have already been Sc
lected for appointment. We desire.
through the press, to ask for more
applications, and prefer that the
same should come from prominent
business men and clergymen, as we
wish to select so more in addition to
the fifty already selected from appli-
cations already received.
After a full number of deputies
have been appointed. the society will
issue small buttons at the cost of
manufacture to be had upon written
application by any and all people
who shall desire to wear them. The
Wearers of these buttons will be con
stituted an auxiliary of the league,
and are expected to aid it's deputies
when called upon. and to promise Il
stop the insult of women or the
using of indecent language in their
power.
These buttons will also be issued
to ladies desiring them, the wearing
of the same to indicate that the
Wearer at all times desires to be pro-
tected from insult by all gentlemen.
The great difficulty which our Or
ganization will be compelled to over
come will be that many times in
cases of common street and car flirt-
ing, our deputies will be uncertain
or smirked at wishes the matter
stopped, or whether they connive
with the same. In cases where the
leagues button is worn our deputies
will have no doub,s on the subject.
at is the intention of the presi-
dent of the order to extend this
league to all the prominent cities of
the eastern states as soon as he pos
sesses sufficient power to do so, and
we would like to hear from other
prominent people in other cities who
would wish to aid in such extension,
especially the cities of Chicago, Phil
adelphia and Boston"

ABOUT FALL GARDENS
Secretary Barnes, of Horticultural
/ Society, Gives Some Pointers.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Autumn gardens are both pleasant
and profitable, and as easily grown as
spring gardens. Owing to the losses
by flood, this year should see much
planting for autumn market and home
tables.
Beans, peas and -cucumbers planted
now are very uncertain; they will grow.
but if the weather is hot and dry they
will not set much fruit and the cucunl-
bers will be attacked by aphis. If L.
is warm and wet the peas will mildeW;
still they may be worth venturing- l
only tell the above to prepare you Tor
possible disappointment Beans ana
peas planted later will fill in October
very well; they require about sixty days
from planting to table. Tomatoes set
out now may not produce any ripe
fruit. and yet they may, but they VIII
produce fine green tomatoes, much
! finer and more salable and disable than
green tomatoes from vines that have
been picked all summer. Cabbage car.
now be set in large numbers if you
can get the plants. If plants cannot be
had, put in seed, but this seed should
be of early and summeFs varieties; II
is now too late to be sure of any good
winter cabbage by planting seed o.
late varieties. Sweet corn of quick
growing varieties is one of the best
money makers that can now be plant
/ ed. Unlike field corn, it is taken in the
milk, and can be planted up. to August
1. Although the seed is high this year.
yet l should advise planting sweet corn
| largely. Beets, radishes, lettuce alt
make fine autumn crops; the only
trouble is to get them started. Plant
/ the seed a little deeper than in spring
and either roll or tramp, or spat with
the back of spade) the seeded ground
after planting; this will make it come
better Celery can yet be planted, bur
it is rather late for putting in seed.
Sweet potato plants can be planted,

Mistaken Identitv.

A queer instance of mistaken identity,
interesting for the lesson it conveys, has
developed out of a theft of oil paintings
from an uptown studio building. The
wife of artist who had suffered loss
and the housekeeper both identified as
the thief a man whose innocence was
completely established by the capture
and confession of the real culprit. The
case is important as following so soon
upon Magistrate Cranes reflections on
the uncertainty of Identification by wo-
men. If corroborativs evidence were
needed it is here furnished.
Somewhat akin to this feminine fail
ing is the disposition of many women
when jewel is lost to throw unreason-
able suspicion ON the servants of the
household. An unwarranted assump-
ton of guilt on the part of maid or cook
is pressed by the mistress to point of
injustice endurable only because the
servants character and her standing
with future employers depend upon her
submission. Circumstantial evidence in
such eases of suspicion is subjected to
very great abuse.
In few other ways is woman's inhuman-
ity to woman SO disa greeably shown as
in her treatment of a servant under the
ban of her distrust.-New York World.
