THAD TROY HAS "A ta. "a.
NUMBER OF OFFERS.
senwood Man Has Numerous Chances
to Manage Baseball Teams Dur
ing the Next Season.

1t is known that Thad Troy, the big
baseball player. who is putting in his
time at present in his billiard hail in
Benwood, has n number OF chances to
manage baseball teams during the
coming season. but it has not yet
been publicly known that he has four
good ones in his hands now, any of
which good players would jump at,
says the Wheeling Register.
The first is from the Fairmont Base
Bah Association. Of which Edward
SLACK, of Fairmont, is president.
Slack offers Troy berth as manager
with handsome salary for his work.
Fairmont has prospects of putting cut
as good team next season as it had
the last.
Another offer is from DanviTle, Va,
which Troy is considering the most
seriously. The berth Is an excellent
onei the, town 5rst class place and
the prospective team a top notcher.
Two other offers are in the far west,
one from California, the other from
Nevada. II is not likely that Troy
will go so far away from home.

PATRIOTIC OLE BULL.


The Greatest Political sInnaencs IN
Modern; Norway.
What was II that made Ole Bull un-
dcniably the greatest political infiu-
ence in the history OF modern Norwaya
The riddle Is easy to read. Although
be voiced the peasants, his own voice
was that OF no peasant, but one OF one
most saseraly learned Of European ut.
terances. His instrumental mastery
was complete, and the technical din
-culties Of his competitions have loft
them for the most part,unperformable.
I; But Mozart was, bis choaen theme,
worshiped with such an nrdor OF con-
secration that the whole range Of his
works had, for him no secret. His
fame. therefore. was of that order that
opens all doors. Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Won Moitke
: were his intimates. md he was their
conhdantajiTo world artists Ike I.iszt,
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own
brother. Indeed. a curious physical
resemblance between List and himself
led TO many amusing contretemps on
this score And soyereiSns, dipio-
matists and great mobiles werc all
proud to name him among their friends.
In him, then, Norway had found one
who could stand for her In tho highest
ranks of the nations, learn for her the
secrets of statecraft and recover in
her behalf the trick OF thinking like n
king. For this Is ono of tho losses en-
tailed on people who arc governed
by foreigners from foreign seat-that
they forget to think of their country
as whole. the habit that d the secret
OF rulers.
Yet It was only as man and not
by any means as politician that an
autocrat. could claim the friendship of
the distinguished artist. His own SOW.

ofrense when the news reached Stock

cession in Paris to present tho Norwe-
gian eolors' to- 'Eamartine. But even
royal anger! could not resist the good
stories told on the next visit. and the
