On Service Pensions.

PORTLAND, Me-, Feb. H. At a CAMP
fire at BoswOrth post this evening, Col.
E. c. Milliken, a candidate for department
commander, made radical speech on SER
vice pensions. He said that hundreds of
old soldiers cannot prove a claim, and that
$12 a month is little enough for them.
Rev. DR.. Lewis Malvern said that the
government ought not to ask the old soldiers
to pay for surgical or medical treatment
out of their regular income. Rev. DR.. A. II.
Wright, a veteran soldier, said that no
veteran need feel ashamed to receive $12 a
month from the government if in need. He
defended the service pension

The report of the Forest Commissioner of
Maine for 1902 contains much of interest
regarding the development of Aroostook.
OF the st. John river system he says:
"ThroughOut the greater portion of the sys-
tenn lumber operations have been carried
on for many years by operators from the
lower Canadian provinces. They have
operated upon the various waters tributary
to the st. John and have cut many billions
of feet of timber and taken the same into
the provinces there to be manufactured
into lumber and brought back to this coun-
try to compete in the markets with the
products of our own mills" SIN the
future it may be reasonably expected that
the growth of railroad construction in the
st. J1hn river system of Maine will be suf-
ficient to take care of the entire product of
the territory, thus preventing the shipment
out OF the country to be manufactured by

The Revised School Laws.

of the State Superintendent of schools for
copies of the revised school laws, which are.

EASY FOR ATHLETICS.
Senators Hypnotized by Pitcher Wad-

Tho closing game of the series between
the Senators and Athletics Saturday proved
something of a walkover for the latter,
the score being Il to in their favor The
weather was something to talk about in
the way of low temperature. and as a re-
suit the attendance was only around the
1900 mark.
The only Reuben" Waddel was on the
rubber for the Athletics. and he demon
started that he is one of the best twirlers
in the country. In the fifth inning Wad-
dell was taking matters easy, the Senators
having run UP two runs. when the specta-
tors apparently hurt his feelings with their
taunts With an angry toss of his head,
he walked over to the line. unbuttoned the
lower part of the sleeve on the left arm
and then STROBE back to the box. Three
Senators were on bases the result of two
bases on balls and Coughln's double, with
only one out. and the spectators were do
ing their best to rattle the twirler But
he didn't appear to mind the yelling, for
he struck out Stahl and Mccormick in
quick succession and then waved his arm

helpless task he had confronting him. de-
cided to send in Jack Townsend for good

weird. but in addition the Athletics hit
the ball to every point of the field OF the
twenty hits secured by the Athletics, fully
nine should have been taken care of by
the nelders back of Jack which would
have made quite a difference in the score
II appeared as though the athletics had

safe. as the high wind bothered the Sena-
tors to such an extent that no one could
get under the sphere. The Athletics were
not bothered. their four weeks practice
made them familiar with the wind Hart
Sci and Pickering making nice catches
The Athletics began scoring in the first

a runner over the plate. After they had
finished up batting in the fourth the score
stood to 0. and when the Senators came

Health Of the Postmaster General I'm
proved by His Trip.

A dispatch from Galveston. Texas. has
been received from Postmaster General
Payne, who had reached that port on the
Onondaga. saying that his health has i'm
proved greatly and that he expects to re-
turn to his work about the last of the
month The onondaga has left Galveston
on the return trip and will dock in Balti

the West Indies, was originally intended
when she left Norfolk for the Gulf of
Mexico.
The sea air has been very beneficial to
the health of Mr. Payne. and his private
secretary is OF the understanding that he
will take up his duties immedia tely on his
return to Washington. There has been no
renewal of the rumors that he will soon
leave the cabinet but It Is the belief OF
many officials of the service that he will
not long continue In his present position.
In fact. it Is by some confidently asserted
that his stay here will be only of a few
weeks duration. and that when he leaves
for his summer vacation 1t Will be never to
return as a member of the Presidents
official family.
Neither Mr.. Payne nor any of his in
Inmates would have anything at all to say
on the subject when he was In Washington.
but the fact that he would not absolutely
deny 1t may be taken as giving some weight
to the retirement rumor. 1t is said that
he will not even retain the position of vice
chairman of the republican national COM
mittee, but will retire from that place and
lend his efforts entirely to his private busi-
ness enterprises and the campaigning In an
entirely unofficial capacity.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
English College Team May Play in

Although there will be no challenge for
the Davis international tennis cup this year,
1t Is hoped that English and American col
lege players may meet in series of
matches According to B. s. Prentice OF
Harvard, the president of the Intercolle-
giate Lawn Tennis Association. every effort
is being made to induce the English collie
gians to visit this country this summer. A
team of Oxford and Cambridge has been
invited, and there Is every prospect OF
meeting, provided the financial end OF the
trip can be arranged. Some definite an
nouncement will be made later.
The annual tennis match between Har-
ward and Yale has been arranged for Sat
urday, May %, on the grounds OF the
New Haven Tennis Club. Six men viii

feated every university Of prominence on
the diamond. Much interest was displayed
In Saturdays contest and the number of
spectators that turned out reached con-
siderably above 1900, more than ever be-
fore this year. Rooters for both sides
seemed to realize that the game was an
important one from their standpoints, for
they yelled themselves hoarse. The rooters
for the visiting team were more in evidence
than Is generally the case with their kind.
They were made up chiefly of the resident
alumni and a number of students who are
spending their early spring vacation trav-
cling in the south with the team.

sition, Hanretty from right field taking his
place, and Burns was added to the list OF
regular players to take Hanrettys place in
right field, and by which Connors, formerly
of center field was taken from the team, has
continued to bring an improvement. Burns
did good playing in his position and Han,
retty was as fast as. usual. Dorman and
Morgan also kept up to their records, but
the greatest credit for individual playing
went easily to the pitcher, the redoubtable

Mr. ,Linsley F. Ter Bush. formerly the
political sharp on the Chicago News and
one OF the well-known political writers in
Illinois, is in town.
Hearst cannot swing illinois," said Mr..
Ter Bush today. HE has been grabbing
up delegates here and there throughout
the state, but the machine will apply the
unit rule against him, as he invoked 1t in
his favor In Rhode Island. While Carter
Harrison and John P. Hopkins are at each
others throat for control Of the state ma
chine, they are both against Hearst.
1.-THE real sentiment among Illinois demo-
Gratis Is in favor Of Cleveland, and. after
him, Parker. They will take either.

dog time over the gubernatorial nomina-

extent of the interest in the guberratorial
campaign, even the democrats became en-

National League Games Tod
American League Clubs Standing.
National League Clubs Standing.

A special from Paterson, N. J., says that
the opening game of the base ball season
in that city yesterday between the Wash
ingtons of the American League and the
Patersons of the Hudson River League was
marred by the fall of the bleacher stand.
Five hundred men were thrown to the
ground, and more than sixty were hurt.
Richard Thomas had his leg broken. Mrs.
James Booker, a colored woman, was cut
about the head and had her right arm
broken. They were taken to the hospital.
The grounds were nearly completed.
The bleachers had been placed in posi-
ton temporarily after the manner Of cir
Gus seats. Five thousand persons were at
the game, and 1t was impossible to keep
the throngs from overcrowding the seats.
The Washingtons won by a score of to 3.
After long conference with the owners
of the Washington club, President john
son left the city yesterday for Boston,
where he will witness the opening game to-
day between the Beaneaters and Senators.
in conversation with a Star reporter, Mr..
johnson said that he was confident that
Patsy Donovan would be assigned to the
Washington club by the arbitration board
and that he would probably play with the
Senators today If word reached him in time
settling the question of his ownership.
Donovan will be In Boston today at any
IA tie to look over the senators ana De READY
for quick action when he gets his release.
Mir. johnson also said that he had had
long conference with Manager Mack of the
Athletics, with the result that Danny Hof-
man would be loaned to the Washington
club, with the proviSo that he can be recalled
in case of necessity. Hoffman left Phfla-
delphia yesterday morning for Boston and
will probably replace his namesake in CEN
ter field today. Danny Hoffman became
great favorite with the Washington fans
Ia account OF his wonderful
sprinting abilities and hard hitting. He
told Star reporter last Thursday that he
would like to play with Washington. on
account of being in the game all the time,
as he was afraid of getting stale through
acting as utility man for the Quakers His
record last season was not extraordinary,
but he was shifted around so much that 1t
doubtless impaired his work. Nothing bet
ter will be asked of Hoffman than that he
plays as good for the Senators as he did
for the Athletics in this city.
