NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-'Willie''
Keeler. the fast outf1elder of the New
York American League team, will COW
er right field again next season for the
Highlandars. Two two-year contracts
which Keller had with Clark Griffith
expired at the end of the year, but
Keller has made up his mind to sign
a new paper, which he expects to re-
ceive from the club officials some time
next month.
81 will continue to play for Griffith
and Farrell as long as they want me
70 play with them says Keeler.
Keeler is without doubt one of the
wealthiest ball players in the profess
sion. Ever since he began to play ball
he has saved his money, until at the
present day he has enough ready cash
at hand to keep him when he quits
the game. He owns several houses in
East New York from which he coll
lects rent each month. The little play
er could easily sell these houses at a
big profit should he care to dispose
of them
Keller says he intends to play ball
a few more years and then enter the
real estate business.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in y pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures '16 ozs."' Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

PULLl1AN PORTER
APPEALS TO ROBERT T. LINCOLN.
Was Discharged for Trying to Organ
ize a Union-Has Written BOOK
Settjno Forth the Porter's Wrongs.

Was Discharged Tor ITyih9 ~ " SN'
ize Union-Has Written BOOK
Setting Forth the Porter's Wrongs
"Freemen. Yet Slaves Under Abe
Lincolns Son." is the title of book
let written by C. F. Anderson, dis
charged porter of the Pullman COM
pany, who is leading movement to- or
ganize 6,000 Pullman car porters. Inc
booklet is an appeal for better wages,
a Encouragement of hours and scft-
ening of certain hardships which the
writer declares all porters endure.
Robert T. Lincoln, president of the
Pullman company, is taken severely TO
task for an alleged lack of considera-
ton for the men who contribute much
to the service of the company"
Anderson attributes his dismissal to
the company's belief that he was or
ganizing a union of porters. lie de-
clares that the organization now being
formed will be a benefit association,
which will appeal rather than demand.
Public sentiment can bring us
things we want" said Anderson, and
we shall play for it as hard as we
can
In letter to President Lincoln, An
derson wrote:
You were elected president of the
Pullman company at salary equaling
that of the President of the United
States. That being true, we under
stand how hard it must be for you to
realize how much real suffering men
have to endure who work li6e slaves
for the meager salary of s25 a month.
The thing that now confronts you Is
industrial slavery. The situation that
controlled your father was chattel
slavery, and right manfully did he deal
with it."
In another part of the booklet An
derson points out that on one occa-
sion he was on practically continuous
duty for ia hours.
As for tips. Anderson declares that
II it were not for the generosity of
travellers a porter could not exist.
Anderson declares that porters on
the smaller lines, who are obliged to
perform the work of conductors in
connection with their own duties,
should receive an advance of IS, or $40
a month. The ordinary porter. he
holds, should be given s35 month in
stead of s25, the present salary.
''Freerlen. Yet Slaves" will be sent
broadcast through the country, with
editions de luxe for the officials of the
Pullman company.

A .BUlL-FiGHTER IS KILLED.
Animal Wounded to the Death Fa-

It Expires.

San Antonio, Tex, March PA spe-
cial to the Express from Ell Paso says:
"Cuco," whose real name Is Antonio
Fernandez, a matador, was killed Sun
day in the bullring at Juarez by bull
to which he had just administered the
death thrust. The bull fight was at
tended by about $500 persons, two
thirds of whom were Americans, many
women being present. 1t had been an
nounced that the "cuco" would kill the
last bull. The animal was especially
vicious and gored two horses early in
the fight. When the time arrived for
the death thrust, "Cuco" stepped ready,
and when the bull advanced drove the
sword to the heart. The bull fell. "Cuco"
turned TO bow to the judges and cheering
crowd. The bull rose and gored him
through and through. He died few
minutes after being carried from the
arena. A sandstorm was raging and
this blinded "Cuco" 60 that he could cot
see the warning signals of his associates.
while the applause drowned out the ter
rilied cries of the other fighters when
they saw the bull about to gore the man.
Many women tainted, while some of the
men cheered when the matador was
killed. ,.@ -

A NEW TREATY,
Next Agreement with China Nay b
More Liberal Regarding
- Immigrants.

.- WASHINGTON, March PA new
treaty regulating the admission OF
Chinese into the United States Is in
preparation, The existing treaty, which
was made by Secretary Gresham and
Minister Yu in 1894, will expire next De-
cember by limitation. - -,
Because the administration OF thu
Chinese exclusion is now confded to the
department of commerce and labor, II
has been necessary for Secretary Hay tc
call upon Secretary !Cortelyou to assist
in the formation of new treaty. Sec
rotary Cortelyou will deal with those
sections Of the treaty which practically
prescribe the regulations which shall
govern the admission of Chinese of the
higher class and the exclusion Of the
coolies. Secretary Hay will take care OF
the diplomatic sections of the treaty
While much reticenee is observed at
present as to the lines upon which the
new convention is being formed, there
is reason to believe that 1t will be more
liberal in the treatment of Chinese wish
ing to enter the United States, when
they are not actually Of the coolie class,
than the existing treaty. There also
may be made provision for the entry. OF
Chinese laborers into the Panama canal
strip, though this is not certain. An at
tempt also has been made to avail OF
this opportunity to make more extern
sive use of Chinese labor in the Philip
mines.

In the eyes of the Minnesota state tax
law legal holiday is no day at ALL ac-
cording to . ruling made by Judge
Cray. :,
The court in its decision holds that
the time for redemption cannot expire
on legal holiday, and that property
owner who offers to redeem on the six
ty-first day Of the redemption period,
when the sixtieth day falls on q legal
holiday, is entitled to settlement and
can become the legal owner of the pro-
perty.
The decision was rendered in tho
case Of C. w. Case against Marcus +.
Hobart and others, andsthe point tax.
On is that the law provides for Sundays
but not for holidays. In the case in
question notice of redemption was
served by the plaintiff and the sixtieth

Ramsey county auditor held that the
plaintiff had right to redeem on the
following day and acted accordingly
and was upheld by the court. ..A
