Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 2.-(Special.)
There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure Of the little
daughter of I. N. Whipkey Of Rheuma-
tism. She was a great sufferer for five
or six years and nothing seemed to do
her any good till she tried Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. She began to improve al
most at once and now she is cured and
can run and play rs other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being a
Grippe perhaps for life"

Mrs. Mackay's Duchess Dinner.

From the New York World.
There Will be a musician for every
guest that dimes with Mrs. Clarence
II. Mackay at Harbor Hill, Roslyn, l..
L., On September 20. This entertainment
is in honor Of the duchess Of Marlbor-
ough. The duchess was Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Mackay will have
her as ashouse guest over the week end.
The dinner will rank as one Of the
great society events of the autumn.
Mrs. Mackay was n of the brides
maids at the wedding of the duchess,
her school friend almost ten years ago.
After dinner Nathan Frankie, one of
the conductors of b Metropolitan
opera house, and the opera house or

Of flowers, and the population Of the
village will be swelled also by the ca
Nterer's employees, who will provide, the
dinner n a midnight supper.
Probably not more than sixty guests
will be present. This does not include
the entire Meadow Brook set, by any
means, and some Of the leaders of So
ciety who are now at their estates
along the Hudson will make plans to
accept Mrs. Mackay's invitation. III
guests will be the smartest set in the
smar set. The dinner will be served at
one great table in a large dining room
on the east side of the house.
\ The musicale will be in the great
stone hall, the feature of the Mackay
house. This extends from the ground
to tie roof, and the solid stone walls
are hung with tapestries and trophies
of the hunt.

Prominent i'm Athletics
From girlhood this young woman has
been a follower of outdoor sports. She
is a fine tennis player and at Yankton
college, where she attends, she was last
year captain of the wOman'S champion
basketball team. She has played base
ball, and in a contest with other girls
last summer, she threw the ball 179
feet, a very good record.
Miss Clemen is II years old, strong,
healthy and attractive in appearance.
She is thoroughly a modern young col
lege girl and immensely popular at home
and at college. Her brother is a pro-
| fessional ball player and this season
has been with the Hawarden, Ia, pro-
fessional independent team, which is
probably the champion organization of
Iowa. Clement plays center field with
Hawarden and wnen that team and
Renville played here this umner Glenn

Amanda Clement Of Hudson, 3.
D., Had Made Good on
Diamond This Year.
r IN REAL GAMES
She Was the Arbitrator in Champion
ship Contests Between Hawarden
and Renville-What She
. Thinks of Baseball.
(From the Sioux CITY Tribune.)


Amanda Clement, a charming young
college girl, who resides at Hudson,
a town in South Dakota, is probably
the only girl in the country who has
ever umpired In professional ball
games. 1t is doubtful if a woman was
e"er known to handle the indicator in
amateur games-at least to the extent
that this young woman has.
Thoroughly convinced that baseball
is the greatest of outdoor sports. Miss
Clement, who has played baseball with
her brother and his friends, has taken
much interest in the game for years,
and this sulnmer she appeared for the
first time as an umpire.
Readers of these columns have
doubtless noticed in reports of games
played in Iowa and South Dakota this
year the name of Amanda Clement as
umpire. Many thought amanda was
a man, for as a general proposition the
position of umpire is one which even
the stOuIeSt hearted MAJ is backward
about accepting. No individual is
roasted more plentifully and probably
more unjustly, and the thought that a
young would ever essay this
most trying position has probably nev-
er occurred to the fans
But that is what Miss Clement has
done this summer, and, whatsis more,
she has been an unqualified success.
SO successful, in fact, that she has been
employed on more than occasion
to Cfficiate at professional games, for
which she received pay for her serv-
tees.
Says She Enjoys Umpiring.
Stranger yet, Miss Clement declares
she likes the work. The ball players,
although naturally gallant and disin-
clined to criticize a woman, neverthe-
'ess would probably not fail to com

The empress of Japan is a noble and
Inspiring character. Her name is Has
ruKo, and she is the daughter Of q
noble Of the highest rank. She is two
years older than the mikado. Her mar
riage took place in 1868. A further tndi-
cation Of the sacredness in which the
imperial ~personages are held is shown
by the incident Which occurred when
it was determined that the court ladies
should adopt European dress. At this
time great difficulty was experienced in
getting clothes to fit her royal high
ness. The profane hands Of a dress

A New Whittier Poem,

~
In 1888, according to the recently pub
fished "reminiscences of Mrs. Priscilla
Webster Page, OF Washington, D.. c., she
was attending the Cony female academy
at Augusta, Me. In that year there
came to Augusta for a summer a Mrs.
Nulcina, who established herself at the
academy boarding house as a teacher of
music. She possessed an autograph album
which was somewhat of a curiosity in ita
way.
Among Its contents was a poem written,
as she said. by a very prosy, awkward
young man. who boarded IN the same
house with her and at whom she was Is
the habit OF poking fun rather mercilessly.
The evening before leaving her Boston
boarding house she gave him her album,
requesting a slip from his pen. upon which
he wrote the following lines, which. 1t Ia
believed, have never been published:
Thou are going hence-God bless thee!
Thou art going hence-farewell;
May the devil ne'er distress thee,
May the wide world use thee we'll.
Thou are going hence forever.
And thou sheddest not a tear;
Tis well, for tears shall never
Lament thy leaving here.
Yet some will not forget thee
A torment as thou art:
And some will cen regret thee
Who do not weep to part.
They will mss thy merry laughter,
AS the schoolboy does his rod,
And the jokes which follow after
Thy visitings abroad.
Farewell, the Lord be near thee
IN thy future goings on,
And the pious shun and fear thee,
AS thy quaker friend has done.
Thy llfe-may nothing vex it
Thy years be not a few,
And at thy final exit
May the devil miss his due.
John G. Whittier.

POOR LUTHER BURBANK.

Newspaper and magazine readers are
familiar with the wonderful work per-
formed in hyb~ridiZation by Mr.. Luther
burbank OF California to whom we are
indebted for the Introduction OF Japanese
plums. Mr.. Burbank has also been won
derfully successful in improving flower
ing plants, but he has not done some of
the Wondful things credited to him by mis-
informed magazine writer's. He has not
crossed the potato and the tomato nor the
pumpkin and the apple tree nor any other
OF the ridiculous things ascribed to him.
Certain periodicals are laying great stress
on the results Of crossing the potato and
the tomato, which, 1t is claimed, Mr.. Bur-
bank has done. If he has lone anything
in this direction it has probably been the
grating of a tomato top to the stem of
the potato, a thing which has been done
several times by much less skillful men
than Mr.. Burbank. This matter is men
toned here as an early caution to look
out for some of the wonders (?) which are
likely to ppe on the market later,
placed there by scamps who will make
free use of Mr.. Burbanks name simply
because the public haV been made more
or less familiar with some of the things
he has actually done, but with more which
it is claimed he has done, but which, in
truth, he nor any other mar could ac-
comp1ssh. Mr.. Burbank, reputable seeds
men and nurserymen and the art of hor-
ticulture itself are all injured by these
wild tales. Remember this cautiona lit
tie later. If In doubt, write the editor OF
this department. for information stating
