Anent the Scorers.

President Harry Pulliam. of the Ma
tionaI League graduate Of the Fourth
Estate-upon the advice OF his secre-
tary, Johnny Heydler. intends having a
meeting Of the scorers held at some city
IN the Middle West early next fall, when
some uniformity concerning the inter
probation OF he much mixed-uD and
variously construed scoring rules will be
agreed upon.

scorership the circuit over is little else
than 'graft''-spending money for the

buying when it appoints him 10 chalk up
the hits and errors.
Then. oftentimes, this scorer isn't a
devout baseball student and doesn't care
one iota If errors creep into his work.
Furthermore. he plays favorites in allot-
ting hits, giving player he likes every
thing that is the least bit close and
making the player he doesn't fancy biz
the fence in order to get credit for a
SAFETY.
The same favoritism is shown in ac-
crediting errors; also IN computing the
totals of assists.

IRA N. WHITES SUICIDE.
Shot Himself in the Temple-Despond-
ency the Cause,

SASy S00 SouSC.
After several days Of dependency over
something that his friends knew nothing
about, Ira N. White, twenty-five years old,
ended his life with a revolver. The deed
was committed about $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon at the home Of brother OF
the unfortunate man, S07 G street south
west Three years ago the young man
came here from his home in Westmoreland
county, Va, and accepted a position as
porter at the Arlington Hotel. During the
past three days the virginian showed a
change. compared with his former atten-
ton to his work, and his carelessness
caused some comment. Then he showed
signs of dependency, and yesterday start
ed out to drown the sorrow he had so care
fully kept to himself The bottle of whisky
did not put him in the humor he expected
although he is supposed to have taken sew
eral large doses. 1t probably had no effect
upon him whatever or 1t caused a greater
depression and put him in condition to pull
the trigger of the weapon. Two shots were
fired. One bullet failed to strike him, but
the second piece Of lead entered his right
temple and probably caused instant death
Two hours after neighbors heard the shots
fired relative of the dead man called at
the house and was told Of the firing of the
shots. He feared something was wrong in
the house and called upon a policeman to
enter the premises with him. Lying on the
moor OF the dining room was the dead body
with lie weapon not far away. A bottle
containing a small quantity of whisky was
also In the room. Acting Coroner Glaze
brook went to the house and made an in
vestigatfon. He gave the necessary death
certificate and an undertaken prepared the
body for shipment to the former home of

will take place in that city Saturday next
from ST Matthew's Episcopal Church, O..
which Mr. Tingle had for many years been
member.
and up to the time of his death he had been
an active and vigorous man. He was borr
in Virginia but early in life he removed
from that state to Wheeling, where he re-
ceived his collegiate education and studio
law being admitted to the bar in West Vir-
ginia. For number of years he served as
sheriff of Wheeling, and he was a prorn-
nent factor In democratic politics of the
state. At one time he was the democratic
candidate for Congress the represent
ative of the district in which Wheeling is
situated, and he was defeated for the seal
in the national Legislature by only narrow
margin.
Identified With Alaskan Affairs.
During the greater part of the past
twenty years Mr.. Tingle had been closely
identified with Alaskan affairs, portion
of which time he served the government in
the northern territory. Under Mr. Cleve.
lands administration Mr.. Tfngle was
United States revenue collector and had
charge of matters in connection with the
seals in the Boring sea.
Among Representatives and Senators Mr..
Tingle enjoyed wide acquaintance. He re-
tired from politics several years ago and in
late years he has been devoting himself to
private business matters.
Mr.. Tingie was known to his intimate per-
sonal friends as man of rare kindness and
generosity. His charities, 1t Is said. were
distributed in many ways, but without any
show or oStentation and many unfortunate
young men, and especially strangers in the
city, have had occasion to be grateful to
him for his material and moral encourage
ment. He took especial interest in the
Chinese immigrants to this country and has
served many of this class of unfortunates
with advice and financial aid. besides he
devoted considerable time toward assisting
many of them to acquire an education. He
was regarded as "a gentleman of the old
school," and his universal courtesy was one
of his most noticeable characteristics.
Among those who knew him or had dealings
with him he esteemed as a gentleman
of high integrity and fairness.
Two sons and two daughters survive Mr..
Tingle. The eldest son. Edward w. S. Tin
gle, was for several years United States
consul to Brunswick, Germany, and he has
attained to considerable note as a writer on
German laws and institutions. He is at
present located In Philadelphia, where he
edits large commercial publication, and Is
otherwise connected with commercial inter-

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Lack Of Freight Facilities Being Dis
cussed by Business Men.


There is general d satisfaction among the
merchants and other business men of the
westerly section of the District over the
Ohio Railroad Company in carrying out
their promises in the matter of furnishing
freight facilities to Georgetown Those in
charge of the movement to secure these IA
cilites are growing very uneasy and are
Of the opinion that the railroad company Is
not doing the right thing.
1t was pointed out that many years ago
the company was anxious to establish a
freight line along the water front OF
Georgetown. To this end tracks were laid
along Water street and treStle was con-
structed along the bank of the Potomac
r.ver from the Aqueduct bridge to a point
where 1t was proposed the road should
cross the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Sub
sequenuy, both the trestle and the tracks
were abandoned, and. it is said. have be-
come an eyesore to the community.
Notwithstanding this, the business men
of the section are hopeful that the rail-
road company will carry out its original
project. 1t is intimated that unless some
thing is done in this direction in the near
future. Congress will be petitioned to an
null the franchise to the Baltimore and
Ohio Company and order the removal OF
the tracks and trestlework. 1t Is known
that several railroad companies are anx-
ious to gain an entrance to the national
1t is regarded an easy matter to have the
franchise transferred to one of these roads,
with the proviso that freight facilities be
extended to the westerly section of the
District.
