Montpelier is in earnest about
a centennial celebration of the To-
cation of the state capital there
and has donated one thousand
dollars for the purpose. This is
generous and right enough, but
it does seem as if this was an oc-
casion which interests the whole
state and that 1t would have add
ed to the general enthusiasm if
the state as whole shared in
the expense. The way of getting
at it was for the legislature to
have made an appropriation at its
last session.

Congress has vice president
to preside over its deliberations
the first time in more than three
years. 1t is still little short on
Senators, however, it is a rather
comfortable feeling to know that
both the presidential and vice
presidential chairs are filled and
that Secretary Hays guiding
hand as secretary of state is still
to be felt in the administration of
this country's policy. Our destiny
is in safe and wise hands.

MORSE'S BASE BALL CHAT

ecial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
BOSTON, July IA, 1905.
There are many things in base ball that
smack OF a penny-wise-and-pound
policy. The player-manager is great
thing II it works all right, but If It does not
work 1t results in dire disaster In every
way. When Charley Nichols was installed
as the player-manager OF the St. Louis Car
dinals great results were expected, but his
administration fell far short of what was
anticipated Nichols had been brought up
In one of the best OF scholastic Boston
National League club-and did not lack ex-
pertence, having worked for many seasons
under such a splendid leader as Frank
selee, but II was found that Nick did not
possess those traits necessary to produce
winning combination. 1t has been often
charged of Selee that he was successful
only because he had such excellent players
under him. Naturally a manager can do
far better with apt pupils than he can with
backward, indifferent or inexperienced ones
and such men as Herman Long, Link
Lowe Jimmy" Collins, Billy Hamilton
Chick Stahl, Hugh Duffy and Tom Nc
Carthy, not taking into consideration at all
the pitching corps. which included Nichols
Dineen, Willis and Pfttenger, were OF PEN
nant-winning caliber. All OF these men.
with the exception of Mccarthy, are in the
game today and Mccarthy has proved HIM
self 10 be one OF the best college coaches In
the game. Manager Hanlon has had some
very tough shedding, despite his well-known
abilities TO make good, and the best he can
do Is produce a combination that has won
ANYTHING but praise from the critics. Selee
is recognized as great producer and has
always had the knack OF surrounding him
self with q clever lot OF youngsters. EVers,
his second baseman, made a great hit when
he came out. He has placed on the field a
fast ball tosser in Schultz. and in Billy Ma
loney Massachusetts, boy, has secured
one OF the best men who has played in the
country this year. Often one builds better
than one knows and this was the with
Maloney for he was signed at less money
than he had been receiving In the Amert-
can Association, and the young man was
very 10th, indeed to play for the money
that was preferred by the Chicago club. but
doubtless the financial question has been
satisfactorily adjusted. for the player has
earned over and again this season the
money he is TO receive 1t Is question
indeed II Maloney would have obtained the
opportunity with any other club he has re-
ceived in Chicago. He is without doubt one
OF the best all round players in the country
today and he has been power In the Chi
cazo club and brought II where IL Is. An
other fast youngster is Hoffman. who
played second base In the first series in the
absence Of Evers who in the hospital
and won golden opinions from those wht
saw him play. He reminded for all the
world of the Whites Of Anson's day.

Herman Long. another Boston National
League graduate in Selee's class, has led
the Des Moines to the head of the Western
League and left the majors altogether too
soon. for he was better one-handed than
some men with two and never had super
Tor or even equal as a handler of poorly
thrown balls. 1t was too bad that he left
the local Nationals, for he could have been
used TO advantage even TO this day. Lowe
showed in the Detroit games here that he is
far from being all in. What Collins has done
everybody knows. Hugh Duffy has achieved
success with the Phliies far and above
what anybody expected and is likely to give
the leaders a very hard argument before
the season Ia over. While here, Selee had

To Be Continued.
CARTER WAS VERY CRUEL

An inquest was held yesterday after
noon at the police station to determine
the cause of the death of David Car
ter. His widow testified that her hus-
band had knocked her down and chok-
ed her Sunday morning and then
threatened to kill her and himself. She
was afraid and ran outside to Captain
Kanae's house. During her absence
her husband went into a rice field and
shot himself in the temple. The coro-
ners jury returned a verdict that the
deceased had come to his death from
the effects of. a pistol wound in the
temple fired with suicidal intent.

nj instalments from day TO day.

The society owns A per cent of the
capital stock of the Equitable Trust
Company. GA per cent of the stock of
Mercantile Trust Company and So per
cent of the stock of the Commercial
Trust Company. In this way the So
ciety indirectly contributes to the vice
president $14,155 a year, in addition to
his direct salary Of 100000.
The way in which the directors,
through their executive committee, and
that committee, through its sub-com-
mittee. have increased the salaries of
the principal officers of the society
quite naturally does not, in its effect,
end there. An examination of the Of
fee payrolls shows that the treatment
received by each officer from the board
is generally reflected i'm the treatment
accorded by him to his subordinates.
In those departments of which the
heads have received no increase in
salaries, the salaries of the working
force have remained constant, or have
shown such slight increases as appear
to have been no more than consistent
with the general tendency of salaries
| in all industries.
On the other hand, those officers who
have themselves been rapidly advanced
have quite generally seen that their
subordnates shared in their pros
perity-at the societys expense.
In the vice-presidents office, four
employees who received in the aggre-
gate $5,444 in 1900, receive $139OO in
| 1905, an increase of 1855 per cent.
In the second vice-presidents office
six employees who received $1O,72O in
1900, receive $24S4O in 1905, an increase
of 1872 uer cent
The total salaries paid to employees
of the presidents Office has increased
As per cent since 1900; of the vice-pre
scident's office, 1874 per cent, and of the
second vice-presidents office, 126 per
cent.
The total Office payroll of the society
increased from $770,2S2 in 1900 to ST.
H. sol in 1904, or SO per cent. AS
compared with this, the total income of
the society increased but Sc per cent
from 1900 to 1904.
1t would be futile to extend these
comparisons so as to cover individual
cases. There are many instances of
employees who, while now occupying
the same position as in 1900, are re-
ceivng salaries ranging from 100 per
cent to 200 per cent (and in some cases
more, higher than in 1900. Taken spe-
officially and collectively, the impress
sion is unavoidably created that in the
general adjustment of salaries, the wei
fare of the Individual employee has
been paramount.
These statements are illustrated by
the following tables.
