THE DIAMOND.
BEGINNING
 TO WORRY {
New Haven Grounds Sold and Waterbury Bugab 70 Again Started - First Game of Season.

According to Secretary James Il. O'Rourke of the Connecticut Base Bali league, there will be new city to re- place New Haven if. Owner c. J. Dan, aher of the New Haven franchise does not soon make move to show that he is, acting in good faith with the othef owners.
 Since the failure of the New Haven man to make good his threat that he would drive the sage of Bridgeport out of base ball, MT Danaher has been signally silent on the plans he has ot has not for the coming season with the result that he is causing much worry along the circuit.
 The withdrawal of New Haven would send the league off for the sea son under big handicap, but not one that could not be overcome. Water bury is anxious to get back into the game with a Connecticut league team, and Joe Connor, the star backstop Of the Springfield team for the past three years, would like to get in at the helm there. Waterbury would not be so de- sirable as New Haven, but it is now said that most of the league. directors have that card and others ready for play if Mir Danaher indulges in any ''l don't want to play in your yard' tao tics. 3a
 The situation is considered as fol, lows in New Haven paper:
 .'"New Haven is paying base ball town and this was clearly shown last season. The games were we'll patron izel from the start of the season untii the finish and Manager Danaher ex. pressed himself as we'll satisfied with the seasons work. -'-
 ''Not until the agitation arose be- tween Managers Danaher and O'Rourke was there any fear in New Haven of base ball becoming dead. The trouble seemed to put damper on Manager Danaher's former plans and he refused to divulge his plans for the season of 1905. Some have talked of independent ball and even been so far as to suggest that Mir Danaher re tain his ball field at Savin Rock and run independent ball the coming sea son. This plan did not strike the sports favorably, as they are desirOus of seeing league ball and having New Haven represented in the state league.
 Tt is the feeling that independent ball would not pay in New Haven, as many of the independent teams of to. day are far from the class of the league teams.'

supreme court room is an his

disappointing. Unlike the
other buildings it is painted
white, which is contrary to
ones expectation of genuine
ness which is found everywhere

which is considered the finest
statue in Washington, but |
noticed no statue in Statuary

art gallery is closed for the
summer, which we regretted
very much, for we had enjoyed
the Museum OF Art IN New
York so much. The Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and
the Treasury are visited by as
many people as any of the
buildings, and are truly inter-
esting to one who enjoys
money. The Pension building
of red brick is one of the most
beautiful buildings because of
its wonderful frieze. 1t is in
deep contrast with the majestic
State, War and Navy building.

In preparation for the Union
evangelistic services soon to
begin, a series of women's
prayer meetings will be held.
These are to be Union in char
acter and will be held at the
different churches, beginning
IN Saturday of this week. The
irst one, on Saturday, Aug. 26,
will be held at the Danish M.
o. church with Mrs. Hans Han
sen as leader. The second will
be held at the M. E. church on
Monday, Aug. %, with Mrs.
Harriet Ritchison as leader; the
third at the Presbyterian
church on Wednesday, Aug. 80,
with Mrs. j. j. Amen as leader;
The last one will be held in the
Baptist church Friday, Sept. 1,
with Mrs. Wagner as leader.
All these services to be from 3
to 4 o'clock. On Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday Of next
week it is requested that the
same hour be observed in pri-
yate prayer in the home. Let
every Christian woman in Mis-
souri, Valley thus devote one
hour each day to earnest sup
olicatlon to God for His bless
ing on these meetings, that His
spirit may guide and direct and
give results in saved souls,
cleansed lives and a purified
environment for the people of
our city. The efforts of the
evangelist will be Of no avail if
the hearts of the people are not
ready for his message. Let not
precious time be wasted in pre-
paration after his arrival. Let
US be ready by fasting and
prayer for the work he will
have for US to do. The secret
of all great revivals has been
the power of earnest prayer.
This has been especially so in
the great Welsh revival that
has been a Pentecost to the
world. So let the women of
this city who are concerned for
the souls of unsaved men and
women so plan their affairs that
an hour Of each day shall be
given to this work. Come to
each of the services and espe-
cially do not forget the private
devotion.

Letter from EIeanoa fensler

Letter from EIeanoa Fensler
Danville, ILL.,, Aug. Is, 1905.
Dear Mr.. Harris:-I am sure
that have thought often of
my promise to write a letter
for you, but it has been impos-
sible to collect my thoughts
before.
The trip from Illinois was a
success in every particular, and
like all those who have gone
from the West l have the de-
sire to live in New York. We
took the southern route through
Kentucky, West Virginia and
Maryland. Nothing can sur
pass the beautiful scenery
through these states. We
passed along hills covered with
tobacco and rivers filled with
logs. The New River is one If
the most beautiful streams.
Owing to the red stones and
sand the water is of a dark red
shade. AS the water changes
from tranquil flowing stream
to a raging torrent, and the
mountains covered with beauti-
full trees growing apparently
from rocks increase in height,
nd the sunlight flashes only
here and there through the
narrow gorges, one is overawed
with the beauty and art of
Nature. Passing by the New
Richmond Falls and Kanawha
Falls we came to the wonderful
Shenandoah valley, which is
one of the most beautiful pieces
of scenery in U. S. One surely
ought to read the writings and
songs of our home land to ap-
preciate it's beauty and ought
to see the land to appreciate its
literature.
Atlantic City is a city COM
posed largely of hotels and
shops. It is filled with people
from all parts of the United
States, who come to enjoy the
bathing, which is by far the
most enjoyable thing about the
place. The beach of white sand
S five miles long and extends
far into the ocean. Thousands
of people gather here every
morning to enjoy the breakers
and high waves. AS many as
fifty thousand have bathed here
in one day. The wonderful
Steel Pier, with its two ball
rooms, concert halls and prom
enades, vies with the Heinz and
the Steeple Chase to provide
amusement for those who do
not care for the boardwalk in
all it's dazzling light and swell
dom.
New York is the only place
in the world to live to enjoy
life. Everyone seems to enjoy
living, which is not mere ex-
istence, and everything is in
teresting. Central Park and
Riverside Drive are beautiful
drives near the prominent res
idential districts. We enjoyed
a very pleasant afternoon with
Mr.. Harmon in Borglum's
studio, which is a most beauti-
full and interesting place. The
Hudson river in all it's glory,
was more interesting to me
than anything else. We were
disappointed in notseeing West
Point, but enjoyed the day at
the Statue of Liberty, Wall
street and the Battery.
Washington is very interest
ing, even though it is house

Winter wheat was a big crop
on some of the Missouri river
bottom farms in Mills county
his year. Jesse Morgan got
IN average of a little over 45
bushels per acre from a 40 acre
field, and six acres of it yielded
50 bushels per acre. Ed Dalton
got al bushels per acre from a

take of thinking alfalfa is a
