analyzing the stomach and liver of Mrs.

NOT A COLD WAVE.
Somewhat Lower Temperature Predict
ed, However, for Tomorrow Night.

The weather will continue moderate to-
day and tonight, according to the meteoro-
logical prophet at the weather bureau. and
the temperature early tomorrow will be no
higher than 1t has been today.
Tomorrow night the atmosphere will be
somewhat colder than 1t promises to be to-
night, but the temperature will not be low
enough to- approach the conditions of
cold wave.
There were some evidences of a very
slight surface thaw on the ice in the Poto-
mac today, but not enough to bring about
any decided results.
The streets of the city and the roadways
were today in a deplorable condition as a
result of the partial thawing of the Ice and
snow.
The frozen Accommodations have become
permeated with SCOT and dirt, the result to-
day being sort of dirty, half-frozen mush
over sidewalk and roadway. making pedes-
trainism extremely disagreeable.

adopted the rules yesterday. When the
American has taken action on them the

by the national commission, which is the
very best thing that could possibly happen
to base ball. The rules are almost identl-'

gested by John I. Brush, the owner of the
Giants, in his letter to Harry Pullam, pres
ident of the National League, last fall, 50
while he would not play for a worlds
series then, he practically is the man who
has provided for worlds series this year.
1t is only fair to Brush to say that he
might have played in the fall of 1904 had
not determined effort been made to drive
him to do so, whether he thought best or
not
If outsiders had not meddled the chances
are almost certain that the Giants would

Minor Leagues Question.
The minor leagues question is to be set
tied by the American League this after
of a compromise will be entered into. There
is a strong faction in the american League
which does not altogether agree with the
stand which has been taken by Johnson
not to recognize the minors under any cir
cumstances. Feeling that there is not any
probability of war they see that the minors
would throw the weight of their influence
to the National League in helping them to
secure good players every season and that
would naturally embarrass the American
League al times.
Frank Farrell of the New York club
said he could see no reason why the minors
should not receive fair treatment. since
they went to great expense each year to
