Noted Correspondence and Traveller.


Few newspapers IN the United
States are able to command the
services of as brilliant a corps of
correspondents as that of The
Chicago Record Herald. Its choice
of Washington correspondent is
indicative of The Record. Herald's
policy of obtaining the best there is
to be had Walter Wellman, the
well.knOwn authority on political
subjects and one of the ablest
writers of the day, acts in that ca
pacIty.
Mr.. Wellman was born IN Mentor,
Ohio, Nov. 3, 1883. At the age of
IA he began his newspaper expert
ence, establishing at that age
weekly paper in the little town of
Sutton, Neb. In 1873 he returned
to Ohio, and a year later establish.
ed the Cincinnati Evening Post. In
1884 he became the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago
Herald, and in 1892 he visited Cen
trail America and the West Indies
and located the landing place OF
Columbus on Watling's (San Saliva
DOR Island, and marked the spot
wi h huge stone monument. Mr..
Wellman's dashes for the north
pole are we'll known. 10 1894 he
made the first of his two arctic
voy ages of exploration, reaching
the latitude of 81 degrees northeast
of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he returned
to the North, penetrated to Franz
Josef Land, returning again to thi:
country in 1889 Ga each trip he
met with wonderful success in tn,
discovery of new islands and lands
ADD brought back with him scienti
tic data and information of grea
value to American biographical So
ciety.
Mr.. Wellman has been volumi
nous writer tor scientific magazine
and popular periodicals. On re
turning from his arctic trips he re
newed his connection with Th'
Record. Herald, and is now tn,
Washington correspondent of tina
paper. His incisive discussion o
contemporary affairs has given hin
a high place in the regard of states
men and scientists of the day.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it Incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitution

constitutional treatment. Hall S

NO MORE GAMES
OF Ball IN tiOpkinsyiIIe Until
Friday, June II.
Locals L Ost the Series Played Here
Last Week With Cairo.

The three games scheduled to be
played here with Paducah were
transferred TO Paducah and there
will be no more games in Hopkins
Vile until next week. GAINESVILLE
will be here next in a series of
three games, commencing June II.
Cairo WOE all three of the games
here last week from the locals. The
FIRST of the series was played
Thursday afternoon and resulted
in victory for the visitors, the
score being 8 to 1. The Egyptians
played an errorless game. Maen-
der, the new third baseman, made
his first appearance with the Hop
kinsville team. He put up a good
game. sustaining his reputation as.
a fine ball player. On account of
rain there was no game at Hender-
son, and for the same reason Vim
cennes and Paducah had no game
at Vincennes on Thursday.
The second game of the series be-
TIVE n Cairo and the locals. played
Friday, was won by the visitors by
the score of 3 to L. This was a
much better exhibition of ball play
ing than that of the day before.
Rogers, the new twirler from Ar
kansas, pitched for Hopkinsville
and did some excellent work. The
game at Vincennes the same day
between the Indianians and the Pa
ducah team was won by the latter.
Score 3 to L. At Hen&erson, Fri
day, GAINESVILLE won from Heuder-
son in a close contest, the score
being 2 to l. The Hens put up an
errorless game. but lost. Only five
hits were made during the game
Saturdays contest here, in which
the locals were defeated the third
time, was played under difficulties
and was lost by the score OF Is to
6. Before the completion OF the
second inning it began to rain and
the diamond was soon so muddy
that the game had to be stopped.
After half an hour the fun began
again, bit soon there was another
interruption by rain. 1t was some
time after this, heavy shower before
the game could be resumed. 1t
continued cloudy and damp
throughout the rest OF the game
and the grounds were very muddy.
While this game was interesting
and exciting in it's early part, 1t
grew somewhat mOnatonous after
the fourth inning, owing to the
fact that the bali became "punky,
resembling a mud-ball and could
not be handled, either by the pitch
ers or fielders. Each base was al
so the center of a regular dob
lolly.'
The game at Henderson Satur-
day was a one-sided affair, the
Hens defeating GAINESVILLE by the
score of 9 to 3. The scores Sat-
urday at both Hkpkinsville and
Henderson remind one of the scores
in some of the games played by
leading clubs thirty-fve years ago.
For instance, the Lowells, Of
Massachusetts, made 102 runs,
and Andersons, of Lynn, 8; Gin
cinnatis, 20; Unions. of st. Louis,
10; Clippers, of Philadelphia, 81;
Nationals, 9; Harvards, 80; Low
ellis, 10; Eckfords, As; Atlantics, 25.
Those by some of the minor clubs
often times resembled the score OF a
billiard match.
Armstrong, manager of the local
team. has been released, and
Hoeppel, of Evansville, who played
first base for Hopkinsville last sea-
son, has been signed.

In, Of the Heart.

When we stand with the woods around
And the great bouGhs overhead:
When the wind blows cool on our fore
head.
And the breath Of the pines Is shed:
When the song OF the thrush Is riuD
irg-
Wonderful. rich. apart
Between the sound and the silence
Comes a sudden lift OF the heart.
When we seek with the clearer vision
That grief the revealer brings
For the threads that arc shot together
In the cioscwrouxht web Of things,
And find that pain Is woven
Into love and JOY and art
Between the search and the soiace
Comes a sudden lift OF the heart.
And when life's farthing candle
Cutters and flares and sinks;
When the eye no longer wanders
And the brain no longer thinks;
When only the hand plucks idly
At the sheet till the spirit part
Does there come between living and dy-

QUEER FISH OF THE NORTH.
Narwhal One Of the strangest Of Sea
Animals.


Animals.
One of the strangest of sea animals
Is the narwhal. conjectured by some
to be the original of the tabled uni
corn. The great popularity Of this
graceful cetacean lies in its long tusk.
a polished ivory shaft, straight as an
arrow and sharp as lance, which
protrudes from its head to q great
distance. This formidable and gilt
tering appcndage gives to the animal
a striking and spectacular appear
ance. The narwhals appear on the
coast OF Greenland in schools, making
excursions into the various bays and
fiords in search of food. A band OF
a hundred or more form a picturesque
sight when plowing through the wat
er in military-like procession. the
long. glittering horns all rising In
unison as they come up to the sur
face to blow. Their advent is hailed
with delight by the Eskimos. as they
are said to be the forerunners OF the
early approach of the right whale.
which uses the same kind Of food as
the narwhal.
Greenlanders hunt the narwhal &C
lively. as they are very fond OF Its
flesh, and the ivory of its horn is use
full for many purposes. The nutritious
skin forms the most delicious sort
OF chewing gum for both men and
women and is regarded as choice
luxury. The body is covered to =
depth OF three or four inches with .
layer of fine blubber. weighing half
ton and yielding large amount OF
the best grade of oil.
{ One of the most highly priced tro-
phies which Lieut.. Peary brought
back from his last journey to Green
land was the ivory tusk Of a narwhal.
This is the record breaking specimen
of the world. measuring eight feet In
length and eight inches in circumfer.
ence at its thickest part. A realiza-
tion of its height is gained when II IL
placed alongside a man, the extreme
