In large places where the Episcopal
church is strong like Omaha, all the chap

house for ideas and consultation as to how
more can be accomplished.
There are 10000 men in the United States

BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW
Twentieth Annual Meeting to he
Held in Chicago This
Month.

The twentieth annual national convention
of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew will be
held In Chicago in the University of Chi
cago buildings September p to "a. About
1,SOO delegates and visitors will be present
from all parts of the United States and
Canada. Addresses will be made by prom
inent bishops and clergy of the Protestant
Episcopal church and by prominent bust
ness men from all parts of the country.
In 1888 James L. Houghteling, a prom
inent banker of Chicago and teacher of a
young mems church history and Bible
class, organized the first chapter of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew. Its purpose
from the start was the spread of Christ
kingdom among men, especially young
men" Its rules were but two, the rule OF
prayer and the rule Of service-prayer that
they might be strengthened to do the work
to which they had pledged themselves and
service, meaning the carrying out Of it by
personal example and influence. It was
very successful. The attendance of men at
that church CSt James, largely increased.
At the end Of the second year they had
been the means OF bringing into the church
by confirmation forty men. The idea spread
to other parishes and other Episcopal
churches in Chicago took up the work.
BTOLneT-
hood of st. Andrew established many chap
tiers, there being in the year 1886 thirty six
parochial brotherhoods In active work
The Arst convention was held In 1886 in
Chicago, with twenty delegates. In 1890 the
hfth convention was held, with 1884 dele
gates. representing ITS chapters After this
convention the brotherhood spread rapidly
in the east and became representative of
the whole Episcopal church. Many con-
ventions have been held since in such cities
as Detroit, Denver and the last 1904, having
been In Boston. with about 1900 delegates
alone.
The national ONCE of the brotherhood is
now in Boston. It's officers consist OF a
president, first and second vice presidents
a general secretary, two assistant secre-
taries, four travelling secretaries, who are
constantly organizing new chapters, a
treasurer and a considerable Office force. A
sixty-six page monthly paper, called ST.
Andrews Cross. is published. having an

the balance of the gross receipts shall be
divided equally among the two clubs
There is another clause which provides
that the players shall be paid a regular
salary during the series.
IF we play under this arrangement"
said one of the Giants recently, about all
we shall get will be a championship button
and perhaps money enough to pay ex-
penses. The generosity OF the commission
is amazing. After grabbing off 10 per cent
of the gross receipts they let us fight it
out for division of the 90 per cent remain
ing. That includes only the first four
games.
what Players May Get.
There will be approximately forty play
ers who will share in the receipts. Suppose
we draw 5000 paid admissions in the first
four games, although l do not believe the
attendance will reach that by 15,O0O-what
do We get? The commission fixes the price
Of admissions, but hardly think they will
average more than 70 cents. That would
be $4,000. Ten per cent of for the COM
mission leaves $4,000. Now suppose we
should win the first three games and lose
the last four. We get Is per cent of the
$4,000 That would give us 5000 to divide
among twenty men--about $500 apiece. II
certainly is a most liberal proposition to
the loser when compared with what the
Pittsburgs got for losing the championship
TO Boston. My figures give the club owners
all the best OF It. too.
Il would not blame a manager for refus-
ing to risk his reputation under the cir
cumstances. As for me. l think l shall
go right home after the regular season Il
over. and so do several OF the rest OF the
boys.
The players want a division Of 60 and 4
per cent. There IL too much difference
between Is and rs per cent. Again, why
should the commission get any money Out
of the games except the expenses Of adver

NORFOLK, Neb., Sept. 2-(SpeoiaD-The

Players Say Their share of the Gate
Is Too Small and that Arrange
ment Reflects on Their
HOneHty.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The spirit OF COM
merclalism'' in base ball threatens to wreck
the plans OF the National Base Ball COM
mission for a series of games for the cham
pionship of the world between the pennant
winners of the American and National
leagues.
The old story OF dollars and cents is be-
ginning to bother the players again-Sspe-
cially those who may take part in the big
games. Under the rules drawn up last
February to govern the championship
series a lot of apparently fat percentages
were allotted to the players, but when
some of them began to figure out their
share OF some imaginary receipts It was
discovered that the club owners would
gather in the most.
During the strenuous days of the sum
mer campaign the players paid little atten-
ton to anything but winning games, but
now that the season is nearly over the
members OF possible pennant winners in both
leagues are getting together on the ques-
ton. After the championships in both
leagues are decided the two champion teams
will undoubtedly demand a larger share Of
the gate receipts from the big games.
Already members OF the Giants are ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the terms. and
II the commission declines to raise the ante
II is more than probable that the worlds
championship series will not be played I'M
less the players get together and arrange
the games themselves. This would be a
very unsatisfactory arrangement. and the
games would not be ofloiaily recognized as
real championship contests.
what the Players Say.
In the American league some OF the clubs.
including the Athletics, have not expressed
themselves, but the Chicago and New York
players have been grumDling. In the Ma
tional league the players say that they are
willing to meet any American league team.
but naturally they do not expect to play
for marbles.
When the Boston and Pittsburg teams
played In 1903 the players divided most OF
the money. each man getting more than

ment the players could not hope to realize
more than half that much this fall
The rules for the division OF the receipts
to which the players note exceptions are

Women suffering from any form of

only. A woman can freely talk of her

it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will

advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this

LATEST REPORTS INDICATE THAT

ST. Petersburg, Sept 6.-The latest
reports received from Baku Indicate
that the reign of terror there is slack
ening somewhat. There was only
desultory fighting up to Tuesday
evening, but the disturbances of Tues
day were marked by immense prop
erty losses, which fall with crushing
weight on the Russian oil industry
conferred at Baku. The combatants
resorted to the torch as the result of
which hundreds of tanks of oil and
naphtha and number of important
refneries in Baku and it's vicinity are
now in flames. Oil men here are un-
able to estimate the loss while the
contlagration continues, but they be-
Ifeve that it will run into millions of
dollars i'll Baku alone. The fire, which
commenced in the refneries of the
Moscow-Caspian society, according to
private reports, spread to 300 tanks
and to one tank in the "Black town"
quarter, containing 100000 pounds
of OIL
AT Giehat, near Baku, the works of
the Mantaschell company, among the
most important in Russia, and the
works of the Tiflis society are on fire.
Refneries at Nomani and Sabunto
have been destroyed and railway COM
nunication with Sabunto has been in
terrupted.
The oil men have telegraphed to
Emperor Nicholas imploring the pro-
lection of the government and asking
for assistance to prevent the complete
destruction of their properties in the
Baku district, which give to the state
loo, 100000 roubles in revenue and fur
nish heat and light to Russia.
