The fact that John Hummell has been
placed IN second place in the batting or

Hummell is probably the most popular

STILL At ODDS
Efforts Of Oscar w. Horne, Special
Deputy, Met With Little Success.

Despite the efforts on the part of oscar
w. Horne, special deputy, to adjust the
trouble between members Of the Briclslay-
ers' Union and the Mason Builders Asso-
ciation, there seems to be as wide a dif-
ference between them still. Mr.. Horne
had conference with the Mason Builders
Association and both sides agreed to dis
charge their arbitration committees. This
was done and the union appointed a new
arbitration committee and the Mason
Builders Association also named a new
one. The matter was to be left to them
and meeting night appointed.
Members of the Brlckiayers' Union
claim that when their committee went to
meet the committee from the Mason Build
ers they were told that the trouble had
been left to the Building Trades Associa-
ton. They agreed to allow the building
trade committee to hear the arguments.
After presenting their side Of the affair
the committee told the union men that
they had power to act but wanted to refer
the matter back to the Building Trades
people for settlement.
speciai Deputy Horne viii have another
meeting with the Mason Builders Asso-
citation this evening and it is hoped some
settlement will be reached.

SOME FOOLS.

JUDGE Andenried Of Philadelphia has
just illustrated anew the fact that
y a man doesn't always acquire intel
ligence by being elevated to the bencn.
Yesterday he remarked to a veteran Of
the spanish-American war; who was a
defendant before him. that "a man who
goes to war is a fool"
Possibly; but had somebody not gone
to war in 1875 we should yet be Eng
iish provinces. And had thousands not
been fools in the sixties there would
now be two governments between the
St. Lawrence and the Gulf.
It is all very well for a judge eie-
vsoed to the bench. not because Of his
talents.,but because Of political pull-a
judge drawing a splendid salary-to
sneer at the man who shoulders his
gun in his country's defense. But the
learned judge might ponder the fact
that the orderly administration OF law,
the calm processes Of the court depend
upon the man who carries the Mauser.

"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for

James Belt.
DO not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through direct applica-

and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
It is the simplest. most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
malls have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy Ministers. bank

have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarh.

STORIES OF
THE DAY
Evans Was Detected.

The most detected looking person ever
seen on the local baseball grounds, prob
ably. was Roy Evans Of the Wiiliamsport
team, when he was knocked out OF the
box on Thursday after pitching but four
balls. The bah tosser looked as though he
would ike TO float away when he left the
pitchers box. He Immediately left the
field and walked to the hotel. At the rail-
road crossing a well-known baseball fan
who was going over TO the game met
Evans and noticing his uniform asked if
the game had started. Evans gave the
rooter a sheepish look and replied Il
think II has. IL was not until he reached
the grounds that the baseball crank found
out why Evans looked so sheepish.

A oowAanLx POSITION.

rF ANY candidate for the presidency
every deserved to be beaten. that
candidate is Alton Brooks Parker
It was bad enough in the beginning
when everybody knew him to be the
personal candidate Of David b. Hill
but there we're fond maglnlngs that
the creature would prove to be greater
than his creator.
His silence was interpreted as indi-
cative Of wisdom and caution, and he
was represented as the exact opposite
Of the strenuous and inpulsive Theodore
Roosevelt.
But now we have indisputable evi-
dence that an that Judge Parker de-
sired was the nomination, and that he
has had no convictions to bother him
in the slightest degree.
Eight years ago he supported Bryan
on a Popuhstic platforml he repeated
the performance four years ago. But
IN order 10 profit by the wave Of con-
servatlsm which has recently swept
over the party It has been given out
in whispers that he is a sound money
man. But is he?
Mr. Hin told the committee on reso-
lutions the other day that he had asked
Judge Parker for an expression Of opin-
ion on the platform and that the lat
ter had replied in effect that any old
platform the Democrats night adopt
would be good enough for him.
Consequently. yesterday Mr.. Hill, for
the sake Of harmony allowed mild
declaration for sound money to be
stricken out and the Democratic party
.vin 90 before the country with no
declaration on the monetary standard
or standards.
This. In view Of the hast two cam
paigns. is cowardice-cowardice that
is abject and pitiable. Yet Judge Par
ker is still silent He win stand on
such platform becadse it is satsfac-
tory to Mr.. Hill The brave espousel
by Bryan OF numerous absurdities was
a more inspiring spectacle.
