HOW TO VOTE ON MAYOR
Friends of Each Candidate Resort to
Circulars.

The municipal campaign has reach
ed the circular stage. Both of the
mayoralty candidates have adopted
this measure of address. Saturday the
following circular was distributed at
the churches asking for the support
of the citizens for Bergundthal:
1.-THE issues of the campaign are:
First. Honest, economical admin
istration of the citys affairs with the
expenses kept within the receipts of
the city, and no increase in the taxa
ton. Under Mayor Bergundthal this
is the first year in fifteen when there
has been a surplus in the treasury.
Second. Protection of the interests
of the city from corporate greed.
Mayor Bergundthal has fought all I'M
reasonable franchises and opposed the
granting of an unreasonable thirty
year franchise to the Edison Electric
Light company. The mayor favors a
reasonable franchise for this company
one in which the city's interest will
be safeguarded.
Third. A strict enforcement of the
ordinances of the city. Under Mayor
Bergundthal, Topeka is cleaner than
ever before in her history. This con-
ditiOn has been brought about under
the most adverse conditions and cir

stomach commenced acting bad and
choking as if I had swallowed some
thing the size of egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.

is wonderfully equipped and his APP
pearance in concert has come to be
looked forward to as an event of the
greatest interest by local music lovers.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Klingenberg
will play a List Hungarian Phantasie
with orchestral accompaniment on the
organ besides the piano parts of ar
rangements for violin, piano and organ
of the overture to Norma and of the
meditation, church and prison scenes
from Gounod's Faust. Mr.. Penny at
the organ, will play besides the trio
numbers, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in
D minor, Handel's Largo, Mendelssohn s
Spring Song and Boccherini's Minuet,
and an arrangement of The Suannee
River by Flaglee. The other numbers
on the programme will be by Mr.. Wy
lie, who will play the Concerto in E of
Vieuxtemps.
1t will be seen that the programme
is, as the pipe organ association an
nounced, made up of the best popular
music, familiar classics which the peo-
pie know and love. The concerts are
also popular in price and a series will
be given if they are well patronized.
All the programmes will be like the
first, brief. without encores, and includ-
ing compositions by the best composers
which the people have learned to I'M
derstand and enjoy through frequent
hearings. The sort of classical music
which the big brass bands have popu-
larized on tours through this country,
the things which every young piano
student has learned to play, these will
be given, with less familiar numbers,
equally capable of being appreciated
and enjoyed by the musically uninitia-
ted which the organist and his assist
ants will seek to popularize. The best
local musicians will be heard at the
different concerts and request" num-
bers will be given on the programmes
as demanded.
The aesthetic benefits to the whole
community of these simple and unpre-
tentious organ recitals can hardly be
estimated. 1t is exactly the right use
to make of the new organ and the pipe
organ association and the official or
ganist, Mr.. Penny should be encourag-
ed by the most liberal patronage. The
organ recitals ought to be fully as we'll
patronized as the Marshall band con-
certs were in the bands most popular
days. for they make a similar appeal.
And when you reflect that at the be-
ginning of its existence the Chicago or
chestra which under the late Theodore
Thomas became one of the greatest.
musical organizations in the world, pro-
ducing the masterpieces of the best
composers, educated a large, faithful
enthusiastic and intelligent clientele
from a modest beginning much like
that which the pipe organ association
will make tomorrow evening to the
point Of appreciation of the very best
and greatest music that has ever been
written. the Importance of this local
musical experiment and the absolute
obligation for support which it imposes
upon all loyal and progressive citizens,
may be realized.

 Kreigh Collins has won the western championship nine times in 12 years and rine times out of ten actual tries He did not compete two years and was beaten in the finals on another occas- ion. Great things were expected ol him at Newport, but he failed to come up to expectations. He was not in form. At Cincinnati week later nc gave MT. Wright terrific struggle for the tristate championship, but lost Collins is a very fast and brilliant player. He had lot of hard luck ln his games with Wright at Cincinnati yet drove the champion to the limit to beat him in 16 sets. Collins found 1t hard to get his balls cleanly over the net. Many of his net drives just did hit the netting and dropped back. Had his line drives and net balls gone safe he would have beaten Wright.

CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Cabinet Discusses Relations
 With Celestial Empire.
INJUSTICE DONE WORTHY CHINAMEN
Secretary Taft, Fresh From Orient, Took Leading Part-Exclusion< Laws Not Rightly Interpreted
 by Consular Officers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The chief subject discussed at the cabinet meet ing was, first the Chinese boycott against American goods, and second, the consideration of complaints made by the Chinese against the method of execution of the existing Chinese ex- clusion laws.
 The important fact developed was that the presidents effort last summer to allay the indignation of the Chinese by a circular of instructions to the American minister to China and con sular officers therein had in a measure failed of its purpose and required con siderable amendment to secure the ob- ject sought.
 Minister Rockhill himself reported that it had not been found possible to carry out the instructions contained in the circular without doing great in justice to worthy Chinese and imposing burdens too heavy to be borne upon the American consuls.
 Being freshly back from the orient, Secretary Taft took a prominent part in the discussion of this matter when it was preached by Secretary Root and presented some of the results of his observations on his recent trip. It developed that the requirement that American consuls identify the Chinese seeking certificates admitting them to American ports imposed task upon these officers beyond their ability. The Chinese applicant frequently came from some place far distant from the American consulate, and the consul was consequently obliged to refuse to identify as proper persons to be ad- mitted to the United States many worthy Chinese, which of course led to bitter complaint and fostered the boy colt feeling.
 The session was the first regular meeting of the cabinet held for some months, and it was one of the longest held during the administration of Pres ident Roosevelt 1t was attended by dil Ol lu0 Ol Iut CA- cept Secretary Shaw, who is absent from the city, and Secretary Metcalf, who is i'll. It was the first cabinet meeting for Secretary Bonaparte of the navy and the first as secretary of state for Mfr Root a.-.. -.t ..
 All I did," said the former jocular- ly, twas to listen."
 Secretary Root spent some time with the president at the White House last night, when they had a general discus sion of matters pertaining to the state department.
 It is understood that an exchange of memoranda on the subject of Venezue- Ian affairs has already occurred be- tween the state department and the French embassy, covering probably the majpq points touched on, at the confer. ehce between Secretary Root and>Am- bassador Jusserand.

marked eccentricities. Browning was one ofsthe best batters the profession has seen. He was natural hitter, and hard one, good base-runner, and a fair fielder. In appearance he/ was isingularly tall and slender, slightly stopped. and possessed peculiar for. ward pointing pair of ears. Browning was quite deaf, which, of course, was responsible for many of his peculRT- \ ties, Batting was his forte and his fad. and his temper after a game was reckoned by the number of hits he had made, regardless of the outcome of the contest. Ball players declared him tc be the best judge of bat in the coun. try, and he generally had a good as. sortment of them, and made a special ty of preserving them. At the end oi a season he would put them away in water. One of them he would keep in soak for month, another for six weeks, and so on, declaring that each required a certain treatment Then he would oil them carefully and have them in fine trim for the next cam paign. When showing his assortment he would speak of the bats much as a trainer would of his stable of. race. horses. "Ah. that is fine two-year. old" he would declare, as he picked one out of the lot, and this one is a four-year-old." he would say of an other. Players declare Browning never could be persuaded to sell bat no difference how much he was offered for one of them. but often when g player looked longingly at some par ticular stick in Pete's assortment. and .said he wished he owned it, Browning surprised the man by making him a present of it. Browning and Fred Pfefer began playing on the town lots in Louisville at about the same time, and both drifted together, eventually, in the famous old Eclipse team of that city-one of the best exclusively home teams ever known in America. PfeffeI left the club to go to the Chicago Ma tionals while Browning went with the rest of the Eclipse players into the Louisville club of the American associ- ation. He became third baseman op the team and remained in that position for two seasons. Later he was shifted 10 the outfeld, which position he played as long as he remained in the game. He continued with the Louis vile team until 1888. In the follow ing year he went to Pittsburg and in 1890 became a member of the Cleveland team at a salary of ,s4.s00 His batting average that fsesson was .lso. His last work vas with the Louisville National league team in 1895.
