EXTREMES IN THE SPRING TRAINING 0F
 BALL PLAYERS,

"He would get the colored boy who attends to the shower bath to give him an electric treatment for his charley horses and would laugh when Bill Everitt, or Jack Menefee, swathed in heavy bathrobes, would tell him about quick consumption, etc. The other day saw Lange out in Frisco where he acted as an um- pire in one of the games between the All-Americas and Nationals and he weighed 315 pounds.
 Here is one on a young pitcher I have signed for a trial this spring." said Manager Armour, of the Cleve- lands. "I knew considerable about him-all hearsay-and was prepared to make him definite offer. But very far in the salary boosting busi- ness. Strolling into my office he struck me as a big blacksmith. I'm So and So,' he said, and if you need a pitcher, I'd like to sign. It's all right with the Connecticut league
 "'Well, to business,' said. I'll give you $25o month.' He rushed over to the desk and almost spilled the ink in his eagerness to sign the contract. Guess you are too gen. erous, MT. Manager he said. T thought about $75 month would be a purity good starter
 'tI felt that I had landed a candi- date very reasonably. Before he left town he hunted me up and intimat- ed that a little advance money would come in right smart.' How much do you want?' asked bracing myself for a $200 touch, to say the least. Well, how'd seven dollars do? 1t ain't high for a starter, is it?''
 ''He was nothing like Ed Delehan- ty, the Washington outfelder," inter jected "Cozy" Dolan. =. ''Del is the only player who could make money by quitting the game. But he will not do it.
 ''He made Postal think he was in- valuable to the Senators and bor- rowed $1 500 when he signed last fall, so that he could play his system at the New Orleans races. Then New York wanted him and waved an $8,- 900 @ year contract before his eyes. There was a sure chance for advance money before the spring training there, thought Del, and sure enough he touched John T. Brush for $2,- 500. If Delehanty decided to quit the game he would not have to give up any of that. All the ball clubs could do would be to hold him on the reserve list indefinitely. But the peace conference of the two leagues has assigned him to Wash ington, and Del will have to repay the New York money to play this year."

National Congress of Mothers.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The annual conference of the National Congress of Mothers will be held this year at De- troit, Mich, May to 8. To the board of management the congress has in- trusted the conduct of its business for three years, thus giving more time for valuable conferences, lectures and dis cussions. An important feature of the work of the congress is to secure the cooperation of home and school, which has been effected in hundreds of schools on plans outlined by the con- gress. These parent-teacher associa- tions are regarded as most valuable members of the congress, and among their corps are hundreds of parents who have received eagerly the practical and scientific thought given at their meetings to the benefit of both home and school

SCHOOL NOTES.

The cons stitntion for self government
has been submitted to the school for
approval and is being much discussed.
The high school regrets that it has
one big boy" who still plays marbles
for "keeps' aud then boasts of the
agates he has won from the little boys.
The Eros literary society has pro-
gram post ed for March 4 One Of the
features will be debate by Miss Alta
Stewart and Miss Ruth rockingham.
Miss Nora Kellogg is absent from
school on account of illness.
Prof. Keplinger visited the North
Delta schools Tuesday.
Wednesday morning Rev's. Layton
and j. M. P. Martin. of the Grand juno
ton Business college visited the high
school. Each spoke a few words of
cheer and encouragement to the pupils.
The program rendered last Friday
evening by the tenth grade history
class deserves special commendation.
Each part was we'll rendered. With
each Grafton the class unveiled the
corresponding picture which they pre-
scented to the high school. The pictures.
which are especially fine are OF George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Napo-
leon, Gladstone and the capitol at
Washington. Judge Stevens. Mr.. Bur-
nett and Sam McMullin of the legal
profession were present and at the con-
clusion OF the program each spoke
briefly in commendation OF the work.
The Seniors have ordered class pins,
which they will soon be wearing.

The district court session has passed
and it has been one OF the most iDpor
tant for number of years from the fact
that grand jury was called and
thoroughly sifted the liquor selling
cases in the county, bringing in fifty
five indictments. In three Of the cases
the parties plead guilty and we're fined
in a round sum and the costs assessed
against them. In every case tried by
the court the jury acquitted. although
the evidence was very straight in the
greater part. Both grand jury and petit
jury we're drawn from the same list Of
names placed in the box and it seems
strange that one jury would find the
indictments and the other acquit on the
same evidence. There is something
rotten in Denmark.

The bill turning the Gunnison tunnel
over to the government of the United
States has passed the lower house and
has yet to run the gauntlet OF the Sen
ate. A strong delegation ought to be
sent down from Montrose and Delta TO
help in getting the bill passed by the
upper house. This bill means every
thing to the Uncompahgre valley.
While very little opposition was de-
veloped against the bill in the house, it
may fare worse in the upper house.
