welt, jr., was one of party of boys
who stood for thirty minutes with their
faces in the corner while the rest of the
company enjoyed the dance at one of
the nospitable Virginia homes at Abing-
don, where he had been visiting for
the last week. His companions were the
SONS of Douglass Robinson, of New
York City, and Dan Trigg, jr., of Abb
ingdon.
This humiliation was the penalty for
flirting with schoolgirls at the Stone
wall Jackson institute in the city. and
was imposed by Miss Kate Hunt princi-
pal of that institution. The girls were
conhnedsto their rooms as punishment.

When assured that the girls would be
relieved from the remainder of their
penalty, young Roosevelt and his COM
panions agreed to Miss Hunts sentence

NATIONAL LEAGUE SEASON.

New York, April 14.-The familiar
cry of the umpire to play ballr' was
heard at the Polo Grounds this after
moon for the first time this season. 1t
was the opening Of the National
League season and a gala time it was
for the thousands of fans of Greater
New York. The hosting of the Ma

with maddening cheers, for it was the
first time the coveted rag" had been

was music galore and a spirit of en-
thusiasm prevailed among the players
las well as the spectators. AT a o'clock
the champion Giants and the Boston

teams, arrayed in new uniforms exc
cuted the usual awkward squad march
from the club house to the diamond
/ The old favorites and new comers were
warmly greeted, while few good
natured roasts were, OF course, handed
out to the visitors from the Massa-

The Price Of Meat 10 to Be Advanced
All Over the United States-No
Cattle Are Arriving at the Terminal
Markets.

Chicago, April 14.-Prices Of beef
have advanced in every important mark

is paying the advance price which to him
represents several cents per pound over
what he paid up to ten days ago. Swift
& Co., Armour and Nelson Morris state
no beef has been supplied to the retail
markets of Chicago or to any other
market of the country during the past
month and half except with loss.
This, it is declared, has been partially
due to the fact that the breeders of
stock and the handlers of range cattle
have been holding back on supply until
the grass Of the range becomes nourish-
ing Swift & Co., speaking for the
packing interests, issued the following
statement:
During the last six weeks the pro-
ducer of beef cattle has been receiving

that the advance to the consumer in

PRICES OF MEAT 60
HIGHER IN NEW YORK

New York. April I4.--Prices of all
kinds of meat have begun to rise in
New York because of reported in
crease in the cost to dealers of about
2 cents pound. This advance in dress
ed beef by the packers means a CORES
ponding increase of from four to six
cents a pound at retail on the average
grade of sirloin steak, porterhouse steak
and prime ribs of roast beef. "a.
Retail dealers say they received no.
tice of the first advance ten days ago,
but postponed an advance to their Gus
toners. However, on receiving notice
Of further rise next week, it was
found necessary to make change in
retail prices. ... 49,.
Meetings of the Retail Butchers and
Meat Dealers Protective Association
will be held in all the boroughs, to take
action. The Brooklyn branch of the
association already has met and DISGUISE
ed the situation. Several speakers Bit
terly denounced the packers, who were
alleged to be taking concerted action.
1t was declared that, while the advance
of wholesale prices was attributed to
falling off in supplies of cattle at the
Chicago stockyards, no such falling off
has taken place, and that the raising of
prices was entirely unjustifed.
