PITCHER CHRISTY MATHEWSON, NEW YORK
NATIONALS.
fMathewson Is one of the highest paid
players in the country.l
Of National league club TO the writer
recently. Upon further inquiry it was
learned from a Pittsburg club official
that salary limit was not the only
scheme contemplated by the American
and National leagues at the conclusion
Of the present playing season.
The writer was reliably informed by
a person connected with baseball that
a salary limit would go into effect upon
the signing of all men to contracts for
1904 and thereafter. President Potter
of the Philadelphia club, President
Dreyfuss Of the Pittsburg club and Off
Gals of both clubs were solicited to
deny or affirm the allegation respecting
a salary limit, but all profesSed an
ignorance of any such proposition on
the part Of the National league.
Despite these assertions the writer
did draw out Of an official of one of the
clubs that a national agreement on the
lines of the compact that existed be-
tween the old American association
and the National league would be made
by the two big organizations before an
other playing season rolled around
Margaret Macdonald, the champion
girl swimmer of the Hudson river,
says:
Few girls become strong swim
mers because they consider the eXer-
else to be too much of a strain. Well,
It is hard work unless you keep in
practice and develop correct stroke.
Then the labor involved becomes a
great pleasure. Any girl can make
herself a strong swimmer if she but
determines to succeed. Keep everlast-
ingiy at it, should be her motto. She
should remember to take slow, even
strokes; TO breathe regularly. inhaling
with the upward and outward move
ment Of the arms and eXhaling as she
brings her arms downward or toward
her body: lastly, to learn TO kick cor
rectly and forcefully. Most women
do not derive the benefit they should
from their kick. They had best take
lessons concerning this feature from
an instructor. and then practice faith
fully. Rome wasn't built in day.
and a good swimmer isn't made in a.
week OF a month. either"

When James Watt saw the steam

weight"
There was.
Millions prior TO him had seen the

an unexplained mystery.
A recent scientific research has put
its finger on the cause" OF dandruff,
falling hair. and consequent badness,
and has unearthed a tiny germ which

FACTS ABOUT
SALEM WATER
tcontInned from paEe three.l

persons he remarked. imagine that
typhoid bacill, in order to work
damage, have to be so numerous that
a fine tooth comb will rake them out +"
II the doctor really sees myriads of
bacteria in Salem water. It must be
due to the reflex action of the optic
nerve. Referring to the doctors
amusement caused by the big words
in my telegram of the Sth, permit me
to say there is a vigorous Saxon mono
syllable sometimes used to express an
extreme act of disingenousness, which
| might have used, but the big word
in the telegram went at the same
price, and amuses him.
My challenge resenting the unbound.
ed charges of DR.. Woods Hutchinson
seems to have nettled the president of
the board. He called It a blur"
Now | do not fraternize with the "per.
feshun" to whose vocabulary this
phrase belongs. hence do not know
its precise technical meaning. II It
implies that l am not sincere or not
in earnest in this matter, will try
to convince him to the contrary.
Perhaps the doctor is provoked at
the compromising situation in which
he is placed by the babblings of his
secretary. Then, doctors are not &c.
oustomed to being questioned, nor
are they usually required to give a
reason for what they do. They do
not divulge their diagnoses; they
write their prescriptions in a dead
language, and their gravest mistakes
are buried under six feet of earth.
but when they step outside OF their
legitimate professional duties, they
should expect TO be held accountable
for their acts, just like common peo-
pie, and cannot expect to evade re
sponsibility for dofamatory public ut
teranees by skulklng behind an offl-
cial title, any more than a Judge
should expect to be protected by his
ermine should he step down from the
bench and malign his neighbor.
That Secretary Hutchinson's part in
this matter has been a persecution
rather than an investigation is patent.
What Interior object he may have
cannot conceive. but his initial inter
view, Judging 1t by the light OF sub.
sequent disclosures, did not tell the
wholes truth.
It is unfortunate that public con-
fdence In the board should be shaken
in its first undertaking by the indls-
Greet action of its ioquacious secre.
tary. because there is much legitimate
work TO be done through its secre-
tary which must be honestly done.
relterate have no interest in the
water company. although by virtue OF
my past relations with II am con.
with the situation, but am
deeply interested In Salem, and when
you strike Salem. you hit me.
