NOTES.

The following Is . copy OF the letter
sent Umpire Setley by President
Thompson concerning Long and which
WAS read before the crowd at Wallace
park yesterday;
Henderson, Ky, May 10. 1904.
Mr.. William sctley, Umpire X. I. T.
League:
You are hereby notified that Mr..
Long, Of Paducah, is claimed by
Henderson, and Henderson has pro-
tested against his playing in the X. /.
I. league until such contest is set
tied You will forfeit all games 10
the opposing clubs In which Paducab
club plays Long.
W. /. THOMPSON,
President X. /. T. League.
Bluudsrs are beginning early. Pa
drcah won yesterdays game but may
lose II because . player was allowed to
play before the dispute as TO who Is
entitled TO him IL settled. Henderson
claims Long, and Long 10 here and
claimed also by Paduoah. Paducsh
has been playing him under an as
sumed name, which In itself shows
that the management at least had
doubts about the propriety of playing
him. Henderson has protested yester-
days game. and the action in playing
Long under fictitious name will 20
q long way towards losing the case
for the Indians Too bad that such n
brilliant victory as yesterdays should
be maued or lost because Of this kind
of businefs.
There is IA great deal of complaint
because there are no accommodations ct
the league park for ladies. The new
grand stand could have been built
long ago IL there we're any desire TO
bnild il at once. Few ladies attend
the games. and fewer still will probably
attend hereafter unless there is q
grand st and. No announcement has
yet been made regarding ladies day,
although other league clubs have.
Probably when some one explains
what ladies' day is, due announce
ment will be made.
The local fans who have been an
noyed and disgusted in the past with
the unnecessary chewing the rag Of
hall players will hail with delight the
firm stand taten by Umpire Setley.
1t is to be hoped that all the umpires
are Just like him, for there is no me-
cessity for wrangling. II delays the
game and displeases the spectators. A
player who cant hold his tongue
ought to be put out of the game, and
out of the park IL that doesn't quiet
him, and Umpire Setloy is the boy
who will do il.
Local fans claim that Pa1ucah can
file . counter protest because the
rules read that each team shall have
ten men In uniform on the grounds
and when three OF Olarksville's play
ers were elected from the grounds for
unbeooming conduct, it left but nine
men to play the game.
The batteries for today are Brahic
and Land for Paducah, weakley and
Petit for Clarksvillo. setley will um-
pire and announces that lie will UNI
pre- the game according to rules as he
did yesterday.
Warner has been signed by Hopkins
vile to play the field. He was Hen
derson's crack catcher last season
and one of the best in the league.
Harry johnson, of Columbia, and
CASTOR, the crack tielder-pitcher with
jackson last season, will JOIN Olarks.
vile Sunday.
A. Anderson will join Clarksville
today to play third base.

VERMONTS STRIDES IN OCARRYING
(Trom the Barre Times,

Vermont Is called an agricultural state.
II has always been such and some people
profess TO believe that il always will re
main agricultural. Whenever Vermont is
referred 70 outside tho common wealth pic
lures Of rural and pastoral scenes rise be
fore tho vision. and delightful views Of
mlkmaids driving the cows home etc. form
n picture whose background is farm. To
a large number of people in the state. too.
the word Vermont is synonymous with ag-
riculture. And 1t must be- admitted thar
the state is now largely agricultural and
that a large percentage Of the inhabitants
is occupied in tilling the soil. Yet there is
one branch OF industry which is creeping
its way upward in Vermont, which is trans
forming the state into a manufacturing
commonwealth. We refer to the quarry.
ing and cutting OF ston" The stone indus.
Try statistics for the year 1909 form an
eye-opener for those who claim that Yer
mont is always destined 20 be merely agri.
cultural in its occupation. The United
States Geological Survey which has com.
piled the figures reports that the total
value Of the stone reported in the United
States last year was $G7 .aGo.4GS. OF this
toal amount Vermont furnished sG,6oj odo
Next 10 Pennsylvania. our agricultural
state furnished the largest amount Of Stone
~ any state in the union IS COMPARED
with tho Keystone state Vermonts pro
duction was only about onehalf but tho
fact that Vermont now stands second in
the United States in value of stone pro.
duced is significant With tho great in
crease Of capital being put yearly into the
quarryng OF granite and marble and the
minor outputs Vermont VIII soon take an
even stronger position. We already lead
the great states of New York and Ohio
by considerable margins. while all the other
states Of the country are far below us In
the value of stone. No. Vermont Is not
merely agriculture and the rapid strides
now being made in this very important
branch. Guarrying. will soon place us in n
d lfcrcnt category.
