WILL NO LONGER PLAY WITH
THE "STOGIES."

Last night a deal was put through
between the Pittsburg National
League Gu and the Wheeling Base
bail Club of the Central League by
which the champions secur the re-
lease of Right Fielder Lew Smith of
the Wheeling team for a consideration
said to be one thousand dollars, says
the Wheeling Register.
Smith will leave this morning for
Smoketown, and Will ppear in right
garden in this afternoons game be
tween the champions and the Brool--
Ign team.
The news of the deal viii be receiv
ed with considerable regret by Wheel
ing baseball fans, who have rated the
Clarksburg boy as n of the strongest
hitrers and fastest outfelders in the
entire league. However, Smiths
friends here are glad to see him adj
vance in his profession. and under the
tutelage of Fred Clarke he will I'M
doubtedly come to the front if the real
stuff is in him, and of that the Wheel
ing fans haven't h slightest doubt.
Smith will ask Clarke to place him
either in center or right garden. as he
dislikes playing left field, and has be-
come imbued with the idea hat he
can not do himself justice there.
1t is also learned that the negotia-
ton on between Pittsburg n the
Wheeling management for the release
of First Baseman Mcconnell has re-
suited in the sale of the big first base
man to Pittsburg, but hat he will
finish the season in Wheeling and be
given a trial with the champions
either after the close of the Central
League season or mex spring. McCon.
nell's fine hitting recently has brought
him to the attention of several mag
mates.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

LUSTROuS LINEN.
Cheap Looking Cloths VIII Spoil the
Charm of Fine Dishes.

Every woman of refinement loves to
of hne dining room and table linen. To
achieve this desire it Is necessary to
use great amount Of discretion in the
collection of her linens and In the care
Of them after they are collected. There
is a pleasure In the possession of fine
linens, even surprising that in posses
sion OF fine glass or china, for, no mat
ter how fine the quality of the dishes
NAV be- half the charm Is lost when
they are placed upon a cheap, sleazy or
III Numbered cloth. Then again the
durability of really good linen adds
greatly to the pleasure Of It's possessor.
Every dollar added to the amount paid
for a really fine tablecloth is an econ
omy, for Its wearing qualities are in
creased at greater ratio In linen than
in almost anything else.
\ tnblecloth measuring two and a
half yards and costing S. will wear
three times as long as one costing a
dollar yard. This is not the only ad-
vantage to be considered. The quality
OF the linen shows at glance the diff
ference between a cheap cloth and an
expensive one. The patterns and de-
signs are far more attractive, al /
there is fullness as well as a body
that adds greatly to the beauty of the
cloth when Numbered and causes 1t to
hold its own when in use.-Table Talk.

several years, and in Hampshire coun-
ty alone the increase In the area de-

1000 acres more than was planted last
year. From Connecticut reports indl

THE HAND SEPARATOR.
II Gives Cream That Is Worth Money
In Any Market.


In Any Market
To the isolated dairyman the separa-
tor Is a boon speak from experience.
For two years and a half one has been
in use on our farm. The skim milk IL
fed sweet and pure while warm to
calves and pigs, and they grow faster
and better by far than they ever did
on the stuff that came back from the
creamery watered and rehashed full of
antagonizing germs from every quarter
Of the creamery rounds. 1t may be pos
sible TO get returned creamery skim
milk in good condition, but when com
pared with the sweet milk fresh from
the fount of supply don't let us talk
about 1t the same day because 1t be
longs to a different kingdom of food
Supply
When the first buzz of the revolving
bowl sounds outside the milkroom door
the hungry calves begin their call for
food and keep II up till they get their
supply With the centrifugal separator
began the golden age Of dairy work,
and 1t promises to spread its blessings
as the years roll by.
1t is natural that with the expendi-
ture of 800 for n complication of ma
chlnery that will swiftly separate the
cream from the milk the owner Is go
ing to have other things better than he
ever had them before. His stable will
be lighter and cleaner and his COWS
better fed and groomed. Every feature
of the work will bear a heater and
purer aspect. His very step and appear

making cream that's worth the money
In any market. The consumer wants II,
the ice cream maker knows 1t Is good,
and, bless you. the creamery man
wants every pound he can get of It,
For time the creamery man looked
upon II rather az an interloper and
stranger TO the best interests of well
regulated plant. but he has found that
cream separated at the farm is Mt least
as pure and clean and makes as good

Sometimes we hold cream for days

factory. The latter usually gets the

BAT TLESH|P IOWA
ONE RESULT OF HER ACTIVITY
IN THE SPANISH WAR.
An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the Days of Action.

of the Days of Action
The part played by the Q. S. battle
ship Iowa at Santiago and elsewhere In
West Indian waters during the Spanish
war, is well known People, however,
hardly dream of some Of the reaching
consequences of the discipline which
had then to be maintained.
One Of the brave men aboard the Iowa
bore about with him for several years
very unpleasant reminder of his service
on that famous ship. This man is Mr..
George E. Parquette, now residing at
1915 Sixth avenue, Troy, y Y. who was
marine engineer on the Iowa when, I'M
der command of Captain Bob Evans, she
was performing brilliant exploits in bat
tie and in filibuster chasing in Cuban and
Porto Rican waters. OF those stirring
times Mr.. Parquette says:
Whenever we were expecting an en-
gagement our meals were very unoer-
tain, and, when We did eat, we had TO
be minute men. The constant anxiety
and haste affected my stomach and put
1t In q very bad condition which lasted
for four years notwithstanding ths fact

could scarcely keep anything on my
stomach and suffered greatly from
steady pains in the lower part Of 1t. My
appetite, too, was very poor and for four
Months l was in bed.
"Other troubles developed. ! had
severe headaches, and at times / felt as
II something was clutching at my heart.
My blood got out of order and had
fever and coughing spells. My stomach
finally became so bad that l do not
think 1t could possibly have been worse
when, In the fall of 1903, | first heard Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and began the course of treatment which
gave me surprising relief at once and
finally cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
she most delicate stomach and create an
appetite. They put the stomach In 3
condition to digest the food and insure
its proper assimilation. They expel poi
sons from the blood and they rapidly
build up weakened constitutions and
give new vitality to overwrought nerves.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

SYSTEMATIC HOUSEWORK.
Try to Arrange IA Time and a Place
For Everything.

Try TO tIhe anu q kAaCe
For Everything.
In all your work be systematic.
Have time and a place for every
thing. Adopt the best methods. Teach
the children early TO help by the regu-
lar performance of daily tasks. Re
qulre order and neatness, beginning
with the wee fodder" Cook simple
foods-few kinds at one time, but al
ways deliciously prepared and daintily
served. Use substantial foods and
fruit avoiding pastries and highly sea
soned dishes Vary the bill of fare.
Insist upon the best homemade bread
the more good brown or oatmeal
bread the better. Make clothing sim
ply. using good garments. Have all
the conveniences about the house you
can afford, but never live beyond your
means. Have none but durable and
useful furnishings. Discard all trap
pings and draperies that are simply for
ornament. Use plenty of water inter
nally and externally. Good food, pure
water, fresh air and sunshine are
cheaper than doctors bills and superior
to any patent medicine. For success
study your housekeeping as you would
any other business. Make of yourself
a ray of sunshine under all circum-
stances, remembering that a happy
home is the only paradise on earth
