Old National Park May Be
Used by the Senators.
TRENT AGREED UPON
AMERICAN LEAGUES BIG MEET
ING SET FOR NEXT WEEK.
Fast Bowling in Three Leagues
Horses Exercising at Benning-
New Orleans Races.

A report has been widely. circulated that
the Washington Base Bail Club has ADAM
doned all idea of playing ball the coming
season at the old National League park, at
the head of Ith street, principally on ac-
count Of the large rental demanded by the
Totten estate. the owners Of the property.
This report Is wide of the mark. as the
owners OF the Washington club and the
National Park have practically agreed on
terms and 1t rests only with President Pos
tai to decide whether the removal will be
paying one in his judgment. There Is a ten
year lease on the old American League
Park that will have to be taken care OF.
and in addition, the removal Of the stands
will cost all the way from 5000 to $4,000.
The principal question that confronts Presi-
dent Postal is. will the big expense neces-
sary to locate at old National Park be
good business investment.
A prominent officer of the club this morn
ing said in regard to the matter:
President Postal stands ready to take
the 18th street grounds II he can see his way
clear to an even break in a financial way.
but 1t would be foolish move for him to
pay out 81 when he can see only one COM
Ing back. The story published in a local
paper that we could not play at 7th street
on account of the high rent and opposition
Of the surrounding property holders Is al
bosh. We have seen all the people inter-
ested and matters have been arranged SO
that we will probably occupy the old park
next season. IL the expense OF removing
stands and carrying the old park Is not too
great"
Attorney Wilton Lambert of the Wash
ington club received telegram from Presi
dent johnson of the American League this
morning. calling him to New York for
conference next Thursday. This wild proba-
bly, be the regular spring meeting of the
American League and matters of so great
importance are to be discussed and settled
that all the prominent magnates Of the Or
ganization are wanted at the consultation.
Other points Of discussion. concerning the
Washington club may also come UP. but on
= this point there Is nothing definite to give
out. The negotiations between the local
capitalists and President Postal for the sale
of the Senators. still hangs fire, and there
Is no telling when the subject will again be
ts,sen up Several of the Washington cap
ttalists will attend the New York meeting,
and as President Postal and Manager LOT

of $1,000 or more will be effected. and 1t Is
believed the club will win as many games

From Navy Yard Team.

The Commissioners and Navy Yard teams
of the departmental league were the contest
ants last night at the Palace alleys, the
former capturing all three games played.
Both teams were in good shape and the ex-
hibiuon given by the Commissioners was
such as to somewhat overshadow the good
playing of the Navy Yard boys. Myers OF
the Compissioners toppled over 223 pins in
the second game and secured the best score

Grant and WILEY ! Draw.

Joe Grant Of this city. the weiterweight
champion wrestler ofgths sputh. and Max
Wiley. the Ashtweie4 f champion Of the
world. came on at Germaaia Maennerchor
Hall, Baltimore. last nights after wrestling
for one hour and q halt. and without either
having gained fall he sen worked over
each other all the wax thr91gh. Wiley was
cleverer on the defensive, and most Of the
time he was under the man. Grant was
about twenty pounds heavier than has OPP
ponent, but as the contest went his weight
was no advantage. 1t was not until the
last fiye minutes that Grant had Wiley in
a dangerous position. Wiley came the near
est to gaining fall when he secured q
double armlock. and 1t took Joes best ef-
forts to release himself. It did not take
long for the men to get slippery about the
body, and before the contest was half over
both took turns at sliding over the other.
Several times when Grant had Wiley In q
tight place he saved himself by crawling OF
the mat In the last Ave minutes Grant
was the. aggressor and secured full Nell
son hold. but try as he would he could not
down his man. -EFs,,.

In their words to the teacher they
make the following wise remarks:
"To teach some agriculture n need
not know all agriculture. If you
know even a few valuable facts, meth
DDS, or principles that will make life
on the farm easier, that will make
the farm more beautiful, more pro-
ductive, and more profitable, you will
be doing good by imparting these
methods and these principles" The
book though elementary, is most in
teresting. Having once taken it up
it is hard to lay down before finishing
it.-Southern Workman.

The trouble is that the people will
not agree to the right thing to stop
lynching, they prefer to do nothing
and then rail at the mob. Let the
laws delays be stopped, and let there
be no appeal in criminal cases. Let
every man who lives in the country
teach his wife and daughters to shoot,
and arm them with revolvers when
they are left alone in their homes
and when they go on the highways
alone and assaults will soon cease.
1t is not necessary hat the girls
should be expert marksmen. If they

enough to touch them.-Western Re-

A special from Greensboro states
that Mr.. L. Banks Holt will not be
a candidate for Governor. The rea-
son given is characteristic of himself
as of the members of the Holt house
hold, that he "seems satisfied to be
a good citizen, care for his family
and help those around him" Perhaps
this is better than being Governor
Charlotte Observer.
That is no doubt better than being
Governor. But is he not the kind
of man who should be nominated
for the office? The man who does not
want office is the man who would
make an ideal Governor, is u way
of reckoning. We would like to see
every man that occupies an official
position put there against his wishes.
This no doubt is true democracy.
Nine men out of ten who hold posi-
tions really nominate themselves.
That is aristocracy.-Hamlet Out

agriculture for Beginners"

Not only are we indebted to North
Carolina for strong, liberal men and
advanced views as to the need of
universal education, but also for
careful study as to the sort of edu-
cation that is needed in the South.
The publishing house of CHM &
Company has done well to ask three
Southern men-Messrs. Burkett,
Stevens, and Hill, professors respect
lively of agriculture, biology, and
English in the North Carolina Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts at Raleigh, n. C.-to write an
elementary book on agriculture. It
is not strange that the South should
prefer to have books of history for
its public schools written by Southern
men. 1t Is wen more important that
Its books of agriculture be written
by men who have a thorough knowl-
edge of the conditions of soil, water,
and crops which prevail in this Sec
ton. 1t is a hopeful sign that the ex-
ceIent little book which these gen
tIemen have written, called "Agri-
culture for Beginners" has been
adopted as a textbook by the Board
OF Education Of several of the South
ern States. 1t is to be hoped that
their example will be followed by 9th
efS and that the study of agriculture
Will be required in all the schools of
the South.
In the preface the writer's remark

ence' They are convinced that the

Agricultural and immigration Questions
Affecting the South.

Nearly eight pages of the October
issue of the Southern Farm Maya
zine of Baltimore devoted to letters
from officials of Southern and South
western railroads engaged in the
practical task of attracting white
settlers are striking illustrations of
the widespread interest in Southern
immigration. The interest is shown
in the North and West by the throngs
of home-seekers moving from those
quarters, by the activity in the South
of real estate men who have succeed
ed in other parts of the country, and
by the general spirit of inquiry. It's
complement is in the quickening &C
t~ivities in many parts of the South
to make advantages known and to
welcome the newcomers.
Of special interest in this connec-
ton is an article in the same issue
of the magazine by Mr.. Thurston III.
Allen, of Florence, Ala, who presents
the detailed figures of the experience
of German settlers in Alabama with
several kinds of crops. This thrifty
class depends largely upon itself, but
othrs look to the negroes as helpers
in their farming operations. Much
misapprehension about the capabili-
ties of the negroes as farm laborers
has been created by agitators. Mr..
Thomas P. Grasty contributes some
sensible advice on this point, to the
effect that the farm is a frst-class
school for the proper education of
the negro, and he urges that mean
while Southern farmers might find
relief from temporary inconvenience
by giving more attention to the rails
ing of good grade livestock.

DOVER, n. j., Nov. 18th, 1902,
I had both kidney and liver trouble for Owe
three years. 1 tried the best physicians in
Washington, D O., P~ittsburg, C1ncirnati and
Chicago, and regret to say that I received
very little benefit until l commenced taking
the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
DR.. m ~Swamp-ROOt. After taking the
first bottle I noticed quite a change, which
satisfied me that at last I had found the right
medicine. 1 continued on until I had taken
70. r bottles; by this time I noticed such q
way, that 1 felt satisfied 1 was cured But, to
be positive beyond a question or doubt, I was
in chicago during July, 1902, and went to the
St, and bad them make q thorough and
complete mfcrOEcopical examination, which
showed my kidneys and liver to be perfectly
well and healthy. 1 have their written report
in my POSSESSION, signed by the doctors Of the
