EDicT ON SUBJECT.
Claims That the Use Of the Sphera in
That Manner 10 Against
Ordinances.

The "spit BALI may go in st. Paul,
Columbus, Milwaukee, and other pro-
vincial settlements in the American
association, but it Is barred from the
city Of Minneapolis.
Health Commission p M. Hall has
investigated the matter and has de-
cided that the use Of the "spit ball'
is a direct violation Of the ordinance
prohibiting splitting in public places
He has instructed all the officers in
his department to attend every game
and to arrest every pitcher they see
violating the ordinance.
While this attendance at all games
entails much sufferings, the inspectors
have pressed back their tears, and say
they will go if it's is duty's call.
DR.. Hall told them it was a case
where duty was yelling herself hoarse
and the inspectors bowed their heads
in obedience.

periled his standing with the Mexican
government, after having obtained a
100000 acre concession in the state

Dover was authorized to build rail-

two story structure of classic design,
and contains $4,000 feet of square floor
space.
"On either side of the longer IA
cades are colonnades of Ionic columns
These support an ornate frieze and
cornice, which is surmounted by an
attractive balustrade. The ends of the
facades are embellished with project
ing wings designed to represent heavy,
quoined stone work and supporting
pediments. The facades of the ends Of
the building are of materially the same
design and equally as imposing.
con the ground floor are grouped
the agricultural, horticultural, fores-
try and fishery exhibits. Many coun-
ties have made individual displays, and
they are very creditable. An immense
lobby is a feature of the lower floor.
"a large and centrally located STAIR
way leads to the second floor, where
the educational and mining exhibits
are located. These are complete and
show that great care has been taken

Making SOldter6 Clothes.
 The enlisted man had just been edu- cated into looking neat and trim in his uniform when along came those Phila- delphia contractors to make him look ''llke 30 cents," says the Hartford Courant. In civil war days soldiers wore about anything that would cover them. If the shoddy was tough enough to hold together through sprinkle of rain, that was about all they asked. Manufacturers and tailors made fat profits off Uncle Sam. Nobody was very particular just then about mate rials or cut
 Since those days there has been slow but sure progress toward dura- bility and neatness. The more preten- tious clothing-in the army, not in the navy-has been graduany discarded. The American soldier of the twentieth century has working rig, the khaki, and a dress uniform of blue, very plain. Both are cut after sensible pat terms, comfortable, and showing off the figure to advantage. The fashion plates that go with the advertisements for recruits tackled up in postoffice Hobbies are no longer works of imaginative artists-they are more like colored photographs. The men connected with recruiting station like that in Hart ford are no longer tailor's dummies to mislead patriotic youth into thinking they can wear smart coats and trou- sers like those; they are genuine sam pies of the way men look all through the army ranks. The government found that it paid to dress more care fully the young fellows seeking serv- ice under its flag. A better class of men responded to the calls and they felt encouraged in habits of neatness. All misfit uniforms were dyed brown and were sent to army prisons for the use of inmates.
 This recent revelation down in Phila- delphia, then, Is of a serious charac- ter. The army officer who went there to investigate after President Roose- velts suspicious were aroused, discov- cred laxlty and gross negligence. The goods, furnished by manufacturers in various parts of the country, were in ferior and some 100000 dress uniforms were fit only to be dyed brown for the prisoners.
