PUTS OFF RESIGNATION.
Shaw Decides to Remain in Cabinet for
While.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Secretary Shaw
will remain as secretary of the treasury
in President Rooseyelt's cabinet until
the conclusion of the approaching SEES
sion of Congress, and, perhaps, for sew
eral months longer
1t has been understood, tentatively,
that Secretary Shaw expected to retire
from the cabinet about February next
if not sooner. He, himself, was the
authority for this statement. 1t was
understood generally that he desired to
leave the cabinet with view to greater
freedom in promoting his candidacy for
the Republican presidential nominatio
in 1905, although the secretary him
self never has announced his intention
to be candidate
President Roosevelt's attention was
attracted to some recent publications
regarding Secretary Shaw's plans and
yesterday he conferred with the secretary
about the matter. After their inter-
view, it was announced that, at the
urgent request of the president, Score
tary Shaw had consented to remain in
the cabinet until the close OF the APP
preaching session OF Congress and per
haps some time afterward.
At least two other changes IN the cab
met have been in contemplation, but
it can be stated authoritatively that
they win not take place soon. Attor-
ney General Moody having formed a
law partnership in Boston, expressed a
desire to retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him to
remain for another year and hopes to
induce him to remain in the cabinet
until a year from March 4th next or
until the close Of the 59th Congress.
He has not received yet definite an
swer from Mr.. Moody on that point.
Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior de-
partment, also has indicated his wish
to leave the cabinet before the conclu-
sion of President Roosevelt's term of
office, but he has informed the presi-
dent that he will remain with him
through the present fiscal year and per-
haps longer.

plauded. So the woman in a neighbor-
ing town, who, after the failure Of the
male element Of the town to supply the
deficiency, went ahead and started lee
ture course, are certainly deserving of
a large measure of commendation. The
male portion OF the population has by
right of position, or some other right,
been the managing force of lecture courses
there, but this year they were too busy
with "hoss trades" and driving the wolf
far afeld, so that they decided to go
without the luxury Of winter series
of entertainments. Then the forceful
female mind in that town got to work
ing, and after only several revolutions
plan was evolved, whereby the lux
ury became necessity and they re-
solved to meet the necessity. A series
of six entertainments has been arranged,
and the success of the first one gives
indication that the women are to meet
with favorable results. This lecture,
as the reports say, was manned by
women, with the single exception that
the lecturer was drafted from the male
persuasion. Lady ticket sellers, lady
ushers, lady introducer and lady man
ayers. Here's success to the ladies Of
Williamstownl May they show them
selves fully equal to the opportunity
which they have graspedl

Bethel. Nov. 21-The electric light
system Of this village becoming disabled,
kerosene has been substituted for light
ing purposes. AT the congregational
church Sunday evening q narrow escape
was had from a FIRE. The chandelier
hangs almost directly over the new
hot air register, and contains fourteen
large burners. During the ministers
discourse one lamp became affected and
was turned down Later other lamps
became likewise affected, and the SER
vice was quickly concluded in quiet
manner and the congregation dismissed.
Then it was discovered that the whole
system was oyerheated. After some diff
flculty and burning of iners Scott Bios
som succeeded in extinguishing the
lamps and ayerted an explosion.

Like Polycrates, local magnate Of
the Vosges has recovered his property
from the inside of fish. He has not,
however, thrown it away to propitiate
the gods, and is quite content to have
it back again.
A fisherman on the Lake Of Garard-
mer caught fine pike, weighing some
thing like 80 pounds. He sold it to
the chief hotel Of the place. In the
kitchen the fish, on being cleaned, was
founde T. contain small purse, in which
was $35 in gold.
The cook notified the hotel proprietor,
who remembered that the local magnate
in question, who had been in the house
only the week before, had accidentally
dropped his purse while out on the lake
for row.
The property thus recovered has been
returned to its owner, who identified the
purse.-Fishing Gazette.

 UP OUR NEW PITCHER.
Pirates Took the Last Game From the PretxeIs who Move up Against
 Travellers Today.

When Jack Higgins announced at the matinee yesterday that Red Fisher was In the box for the Pirates there was suppressed sigh all over the hall
 Starkell was to pitch his first game for the Pretzels and everybody was on the qui vive to see how the latest recruit of the Pretzels would handle himself. He did not handle himself. The Pirates did the handling process. using big pieces of haywood to enhance the Ieaven of the handling
 In the first inning the mahogany top ped slab artist of the Piratical outfit would have let the Pretzel bunch down in order. but Smith threw Schiebach's hit low to Weikart and the runner was safe.
 In the last half whole back yard full of bricks began tumbling down started 1t by turning lose a three bag ger, just for an eye-opener Then with one out Starkell, to satisfy an old feud pasted Hanley in the small of the back Smith walking over the plate when Hess sent a long fly to Molesworth.

Wei kart going to third and the man with the Roman name to second on the throw in. Miller drove a fierce one to left. Weikart and Abstein both pour ing over the plate. The entire bat ting order of the Pirates had now taken a whack at Starkell and they were getting pretty tired running bases, so to save something for the hereafter Fritz obligingly struck out four hits and four runs being the amount of the damage assessed.
 Tn the last of the second while Ken nedy had to but in with a tiresOme hit Starken seemed to have settled down, striking out Fisher and Smith in sue cession.
 In the last of the third the Pirates did not get a hit off Starkell. but Shie- bach became involved in such a heated discussion with Pfeninger in regard to the exact location of the Russian fleet that in order to uphold his record as a successful debator his umphs was forced to request the Pretzel shortstop to take himself out of the argument and game. a rude Shreveport officer taking him out of the field.
 In the first of the fourth the first hit was made off Mir Fisher with one out Brouthers hitting past Abstein. Then Molesworth walked. Lynch struck out and Brouthers scored on Domtnick Mullaney's drive to center.
 In the last half there was switch in the Pretzel makeup. Barry who had gone to short In Shiebech's place was put out in the right garden, Lynch being brought into short. The only thing to jar the serenity of Starkeu in

this inning was a punch that Red Fisher gave the ball for two bags, no runs coming in, however.

 In the last half of the seventh some thing happened with awful suddenness to Mir. Starkell The Cyclone broke loose and bricks began flying again. hit to center and advanced on Ken nedy's sacrifice. Hanley hit to left, and Smith tallied, Hess going to second on the throw in and scoring on Hess's scored on Weikarts hit, Abstein and Miller ending 1t. Four hits and three runs were the casualties this trip
 In the eighth Molesworth led off with a hit. Lynch walked and with one out Smith dropped Millerick's fly fill- ing the bags with Pretzels: Starkell hit to Smith who redeemed his error by making fast double, catching Mil- lerick at second and Starkell at first
 In the last of the eighth MT. Star kell began getting his troubles in safe. Kennedy hit safe and on Hanleys hit Fisher scored. Hess hit to center for three bags and in the exuberance of his mirth MT. Kennedy tripped on his OWH IOOt Wnlie COmlHS III tilIu to the plate and barely had time to get back to the bag. Weikart ended 1t with a hit to Brothers. And that Is how the Pirates only got. ten runs in stead of eleven-Kennedy's laughter.
 In the last hope the greed for gain of those Pirates developed itself. With one down poor Barry sent a fly out to center that Kennedy and Miller both started for. Both were evidently laughing again and the ball calmly nestled in the grass of the Shreveport lot. Then Fisher made a weird throw of Schwartzs hit and Barry promptly tallied, Brouthers and Molesworth end ing it.
 It was a baptism of fire that Starkell got in his Southern League debut. but the local fans are not discouraged. This is his first game and it will be wise to wait and see what he will do after this. And there are very few sluggers like that Shreveport outfit One con- solation Is that yesterday was the last of the Shreveport games the Travellers being entertained today

Umpire Carpenter Talks of Foul StrIk,
 Rule.

Umpire " B. Carpenter, who worked at Little Rock the past week, grew reminiscent ,Iai seen in conversation with a the subject of the foul strike, he said ::
 '.'Of all the recent changes in the code of playing rules, the most radi- rule At the time 1t was adopted by the National League and given to It's delegates to the meeting of the rules Tommit6ee which was was composed of American Leagues and American Asso- ciation, it was almost a foregone con clusion that 1t would be rejected. as the American League had come out fiat-footcd in opposition and was sup posed to be backed by the National As sociation. When the committee con found that the National Association delegates had voted for the adoption of the rule along with the National League contingent There was an awful howl from the American League people, who claimed they had been thrown down by P. T. Powers. and another baseball war | seemed unavoidable. Ban s. Johnson, with his usual tact, camC to the rescue. and a compromise was finally agreed to- which put the foul strike rule on trial for one season, either to prove its along with several other rules which had been tried and found wanting. There were several clubs in the Ameri- can League which favored war rather
 
 q line of hot shot all season. Their principal objection to the measure was that it killed hitting and made tn" gave the pitcher too much advantage. but in all of these and several other minor objections the rule has worked just the opposite.
 How many people today would ear" to go to game that lasts from two and a quarter to two and half hours with a score of about 14 to 0? Those who nrnDnnnNN1 in thnir OhfRpt inn to the rule are today it's strongest au- vocates. I umpired a college game last spring In New York in which ii was agreed by. bGIh captains that no foul strike or balk rules, and the re- suit was that the game lasted two hours and thirty-ftve minutes and did not seem any more like a ball game than a cricket match. II finally ended with a score of 12 to 8. but about half the people had left fully two innings before it was over.
 With the rule as it is today, it has done moro to make the game snappy and interesting than any change made for years. It makes the batter pick out and hit the good balls, instead of stand ing at critical stage of the game anGi couling off every ball near the plat" while the audience is holding its breath and waiting for a play until cVery-day occurrence under the old rule and cries of Hit the ball express cd the feeling of the fans as to the dil atOry tactics"
 ConcIuding, Mir. Carpenter said. "When all is said and done there are very few lihcral- minded people but will That tho rule had stood up in every re- spcct Is proven by the fact that 1t was not dropped at the end of its trial sea = son, and despite the fact that there iS an occasional knock from some quar- ters, the rule still stands. and from present indications is here to stay.

Attack on an Umpire.

A brutal and cowardly attack upon Umpire Perrine by Marty" Murphy, the temporary first baseman of the san Francisco Club. yesterday at Recreation Park marrcd what promised to be an enjoyable game of ball. The action oi Murphy in striking Perrine again and again when the umpire refused 10 strike back made one of the .mennest sins that has ever disgraced the great American game. The deplorable scene ond inning when Murphy was at bat
 Perrine called a strike on him and tho player objected. Perrine fined hlm $A
 an easy drive to first base. He waiked leisurely back to the home plate where Perrire was standing. Reaching qulck
 ly for the umpire, Murphy terked the mask from Perrine's facc and struck him. Perrine, a smaller man than ms assailant, backed quickly awaX' nut
