Toledo, O., Aug. THAT this is the poor
est season the players have ever had with
of the American league. is shown in the
latest figures compiled this week. Each
week the number of men hitting in the
charmed circle has slightly decreased, I'M

by reason of his enforced idleness, is lead
ing with the very insignificant mark of
314. Catcher Mcfarland of the White Sox
is second and Bemis of Cleveland third.
Of the five men hitting in the select circle
Cleveland claims three, Chicago one and
New York one. Wee Willie Keller of the
Highlanders, who has never failed to hit
over the 300 mark, is just hanging on by
the skin OF his teeth, having an average
virtue of his hard hitting during the last
few games, Is just one point below the
cleveland ranks first in club batting,
fourth. Cleveland has made the most
hits, while the White Sox are the best
base stealing club, and have also made ,aati.
cieveiand also ranks first in long hits by
clubs, the Athletics being second.
HOFFMAN of Philadelphia is the star base
runner of the league, with thirty-two sto--
len bases in seventy-nine games t'ultz OF
New York is second. Harry Bay, the fleet
in the number of runs scored, having
crossed the plate sixty-two times in
eighty-seven games larry Tye PAYS ee Is R 9s
has made twenty-eight two-base hits, five
three-baggers and six home runs for a
total of ninety-five bases. Flick of Cleve,
land comes next with a total base record
of seventy eight.
Car of Cleveland TIE first basemen. La
joie the second basemen and Turner the
shortstops. Gleason of the Browns and
Lee Tannehili of Chicago are tied for the
honors at third base, each having an av-
erage of .93S.
era wford and Barrett of Detroit still
have perfect fielding records in outfield,
While Joss of Cleveland Is the only twirler
who has not made an error. In club 6eld-
ing Chicago is leading, with Cleveland sec
ond and ST. Louis third.

SCROFULA
FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable
and the diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form of
Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but a con-
stitutional remedy. The very foundation
of the blood is diseased, and until it is
purified and made strong, those who are
born with a scrofulous tendency cannot
have the blessing of robust health.

buildings on which II Is the Tendency
to spend millions of Dollars.

The corner stone OF million dollar
state capitol for Arkansas was laid
recently at Little Rock. A few days
ago a contract was given out at Jack
son, Miss, for the building there OF a
new state capitol at total cost of
nearly a million. The present capitol
and grounds at Jackson are of the es-
timated value OF 100000 and the Lit
tie Rock capitol and gounds Of the
value Of only S25O,OOO. Many Of the
older settled states have capitols which
were built many years ago and were
designed to meet conditions which near
ly every state has since outgrown.
The capitol Of Alabama at Montgom-
cry represents an investment Of only
$4,000, that of Louisiana at Baton
Rouge S250,OOO, the grounds being in
cluded in this estimate; that of Ken
lucky at Frankfort, the scene Of the
Goebel shooting, $5OOOOO grounds in
cluded, and that of Maryland at An
napolis. $S00,0OO There has been a
general tendency to replace the old
buildings by new and more costly
structures,as is being done in Arkansas
and Mississippi. Thus in Sacramento,
the capital Of California, the new build
ings and grounds represent total ex-
penditure of $3.OOO,OOO. Austin, Tex,
has $2,50O,0OO capitol. Pennsylvania
has at Harrisburg a $2,500,000 capitol.
The little state of Rhode Island has at
Providence a S3,0OO,00O capitol and the
Iowa state capitol at Des Moines rep
resents total investment of 81, 5000
The Illinois capitol at Springfield rep
resents a total investment OF $500. 900
and the Nebraska capitol at Lincoln
represents cost of $75O,00O. The Wis
consin capitol in the small town OF
Madison represents an investment OF
$1,0O0,000 and Michigan has at Ian
sing at $1,500,000 capitol In the small
er cities of the country there are to be
found usually the most expensive
capitols. a circumstance which has
given rise to the expression "the
smaller the capital town, the more ex-
pensiye the capitol building" Colo
rado has S2.5OO, 900 capitol and Wash

two to three men to operate a shaft,
one to do the digging and the other to
hoist up the buckets of soil containing
the mineral. In many instances lead

from the surface; in others the digger
has to go down Is or 20 feet, the rich
