Lew Whistler Talks.

The following from yesterdays Mem- phis nmercial-Appeal will be read with peculiar interest by the local fans.
 Lew Whistler and his Montgomery team spent yesterday in this city en route to Montgomery. They attended the game in body and were unanimous in declar- ing that the best team had won. Whistler was very outspoken in regard to the man. ner in which he was treated during his series with the Little Rock team, and u ade the following declaration:
 The season Is over now and don't wish to go on record as complaining about games which have been lost, but at the same time I want to let the Memphis people know what hard fight they have there certain directors of the Little Rock club came to me and asked if would play the two postponed games which that club had at Montgomery. As those games should play them In Little Rock, more particularly as such an arrangement would give the Travellers an unfair advan. as to @sI S it rs n and h' ssasfe9 sassef and do not purpose to willingly do any. thing which will injure the chances of any club. After l had refused to trans fer those two games to Little Rock I re- owner of the Montgomery club, asking me to transfer the games to Little Rock, making 1t evident some one in the Arkau- sas capital had wired Mir. Ragland over m\ head. I still declined, however. Next day was approached with a proposition to play two games in Little Rock on Sun- lay. Now everybody knows there is a law against Sunday baseball there, con- seQuently I demanded to know how the games were to be played. whereupon I was assured there would be no trouble whatever and I could make nice bit of money from the gate receipts of such games. I explained to them that my schedule ended SeptemDer 10, as d.d Lit tie Rocks. therefore there could be no games played which would count for the championship, but if they were anxious for a Sunday contest and would arrange for the same would consult my players and find If they were willing to play an exhibition game. This proposal was quick Ii looked to me like Little Rock wanted the pennant pretty badly when they ex- pressed willingness to attempt to set aside a law against Sunday ball playing that they might take chance of winning two games from Montgomery and holding their lead over Memphis"

New York Asleep.

NeW I0rk Press.
 New York Is never entirely asleep. but pos sibly 5000 900 of her inhabitants doze part of the night. We roar ourselves to sleep. The process is very gradual. Early infancy and senie old age retire with the chickens. The gay thronG of youth and middle age makes a hot pace till midnight. then slowly the pulse be;;ins to grow feeble. By one nearly all hon. est folk are in bed leaving the city to round Cars run at long intervals Now and then carriage gives hutter.

BALL PLAYERS AT HOME
MEN WERE PAID FOR LAST
 TIME.
They Will Scatter to Their Respective Homes-Lew Whistler Talks of the Strenuous Race
 For Pennant.

The baseball players who represented Montgomery in the Southern League. the players who didn't win the pennant, re- turned to Montgomery early yesterday IT. rning.
 Today the boys will be paid off for the last time this season and tonight they will scatter to their different homes.
 Every member of the team except Oscar Streit is on Manager Whistler's reserve list and if there is a team in Montgom- "'y next summer they will be seen ca- vortng on the local diamond once more. Two of them. Carleton Molesworth and LJu.s Polchow, will remain in Montgom- cry where they have found employment this winter.
 Oscar Streit will probably finish the season with the Boston American League team and the clever southpaw will prove quite an addition to the pitching staff.
 Ike Durrett, of kangaroo fame Is also on the local reserve list and if Montgom- cry Is member of the Southern League again the hard-hitting outfielder will be for'.d to play here or not at all, the Ma 'nal Association being much stronger even now than it was when Durrett left here for the coast

What Minnesota May Do.

Minneapolis Journal
 It is. however freely admitted among many earnest Republicans in this State that 1t is quite possible that there may be some strange political ''doings' in this State next year if the party has to go in another Presidential eampaign@With nothing to say in favor of tar- iR revision. Of course there is no more dan ger of Minnesota voting for any kind of A Democrat for President against Roosevelt than there is that Texas will vote for him, but some of the Republican candidates for Congress may have an unusually hard time of it for a pres idential year, especially if we should get A dose of hard times before election.

 The 2:24 pace furnished the surprise or the day Tom Keepe was to l. favor ite and he won the first heat handily. Before the chestnut gelding had reached the half in the second heat however. he broke badly and was distanced.

Some folks are already figuring on
next years election and are devoting
time to the study and analysis OF last
years election returns.
Mr.. D. 6. Zeigler, the inventor OF
the new perpetual motion machine,
says, in reference to the article quoted
from the Washington Star, that he
has never stated, or authorized the
statement credited to him, that he had
been granted letters patent on his
machine, What he does claim is that
his invention is fully protected by
the patent Office against infringements
as he has been granted caVeat, which
gives full protection while has applica-
tion for patent is pending. MI.
Zeigler is still at work on his invention
and the improvements he has in view
will make the machine more perfect
and develop more power than the
first that he made.

Exploration of Lake Chad.

Two French officers, Capt Trufert
and Naval Ensign L'Huard, have COM
pleted an exhaustive exploration of
Lake Chad, in Africa, and its numer-
Gus islands, hitherto very imperfectly
known. According to these two ex-
plorers the lake is 1S5 miles in length
by 80 miles in width. Curiously
enough, it is, on the whole, extreme
Iy shallow, the deepest part being the
western side, where the water is %
feet in depth, while on the eastern
shores it is only feet in depth. The
lake is interspersed with SO islands,
divided into three groups-the first
void of vegetation; the second, covered
only with grass and herbs, but used
by the natives for pasturing cattle,
and the third. inhabited islands.
which are thickly and we'll forested
and contain extensive millet planta-
tions. Altogether $4,000 people dwell
on these islands. One of the most
notable achievements of this expedi-
ton was the discovery of hitherto
unknown tree the wood Of which is
lighter than cork.-Chicago News.
