Mr. sexton is Wanted AGnIn.

While probably he is not an aspirant
for the position. numerous men inter
csted in the league are DESTROYS of
having NJ. II. Sexton return to the
presidency. 1t is no disparagement TO
Mr.. Holland to say that there is no
ADLER baseball man in the league than
Mr.. Sexton. He was the father of the
organization, carrying it. safely
through numerous storms. and perma-
nently establishing it. There have
been regrets that he was not retained
in the position at the last annual
meeting. and the fact has since been
appreciated that the league indeed
was fortunate in having such a capa-
BILE head to direct it's affairs.

Jeems Hayes i'm the Race. Too.

There is talk in Davenport of a can
didate for the presidency in the person
of Jecms Hayes. the manager of
the Davenport team. Hayes is not so
anxious to- secure the position as are
some of his friends in the city over
the stream who are seeking to secure
control of the team there. They have
nothing against Hayes. but they have
an idea they can more successfully
manage the club than he has done in
the past four seasons. They have
conceived the presidency as one plan
of divOrcing him from control of the
club in his home town. for he could
not serve as president of the league
and manager of the Davenport team
There are two factions that are trying
TO take the club off Hayes hands. Dan
b. Horne is the head and front of the
one and the father of Walter Davis
of the other. Walter has been a mem
Der of the Davenport team off and on
for years. He plays the game be-
cause he likes it. He does not need
the money. as his father has plenty
of it. His father is a fan also. and
nothing would please him better than
which his son would be member. If
dad secured control Walter would be
sure of a steady job. At any rate.
they are trying in Davenport to pro-
mote Hayes. and they are going to go
after the presidency for him at

complaining of old trees that were
growing on the sidewalks and had at
tanned such an advanced age that they
would probably topple over under the
first strong wind that struck them.
The mayor was asked TO have them re-
moved. The petitions were granted.
Three Of these trees have already been

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The city au-
thorities have prevented the use of q
spot light" in Sir Henry Irving's pro-
ductlon Of "The Bells" and have COM
PEELED the stage management to use in
stead In the dream scene a strong in
candescent light. This action, in CON
hection with other safeguards which
have been placed about Chicago thea
ter audiences since the Iroquois disas-
ter, has caused no little annoyance to
the English actor, who expressed his
dlspleasure when called before an au-
dience at the close of his performance
in the Illinois theater. In the course Of
his remarks Sir Henry said:
81 trust that you will not misunder-
stand me if / refer to the recent fear
ful, lamentable disaster which Oc-
Cured here, n disaster which was the
result of panic. Panics are always ter
rible, and the disasters they produce
are always terrible. That which oc-
cured casts no reflection on your city
or on the theaters of your city, for it
could have occurred in any other city
in the world and in a cathedral, in a
church or in a railway station just as
easily as in a theater
But it has produced a panic-a pan
ic among your oiIicials-and / would
ask you to use your influence directly
and among your friends to allay as
soon and so far as possible this feeling
of panic.
"And | would like it to be thoroughly
understood by you that sometimes
much injustice may be done by Jacks
in office, and | would earnestly beg Of
you to exert all your influence to allay
the feeling Of panic which mt present
exists among the officials of your great
city"

An odd and very pretty style of trim
ming is shown by the suit in the ac-
companying illustration. 1t is of violet
SATIN faced cloth over a foundation
of the same color taffeta, and is made
with a five-gored skirt. The front
breadth is cut in one with the hip yoke,
to which the rather full sides are
Joined by tiny vertical tucks, and out
lining these breadths are stitched
bands Of panne velvet Of the same
shade of violet as the cloth. The bands
are pointed at the bottom and are
ornamented with large silver buttons.
The back is plain and is finished with
inverted plaits.
The coat is a blouse model with
large full sleeves, tucked at the top,
and it is trimmed with the stitched
velvet bands in the manner shown, the
ones over the shoulders ending in like
tabs at the back, caught by silver but
tons, and the small collar of very dark
purple velvet in an open cut-out de-
sign.
The hat is of violet chiffon velve
