STEAMER NOTES. Peace has been de-
cared in the steamboat war which has been
waged SO long and ruinously. Capt Ben
nett and Engineer KerSt, whose split caused
the whole trouble, have buried the Ratchet
and negotiations have been under consid-
GRAFTON between them in relation to reform
ing the partnership. 1t is said there will
probably be a stock company formed in
which the two will be the principal share
holders, and larger boat bought for the
Camden-Bucksport line. The Golden Rod
is somewhat inadequate for winter work
and for the heavy traffic of the summer sea-
son, Mr.. Kerst gave up his berth as engi-
neer on the Merryconeag at Portland and
last week made trip in the Golden Rod
with Captain Bennett. Negotiations for
the charter of the steamer Verona, on a
Hudson river route, are all off, and she
will probably put in the summer carrying
excursions. The PeGobscot arrived from
the regular boat, with freight for the usual
landings, and left Bangor fol Boston on the
same day, touching only at Rock land.
The Silver Star made special trip to Isles
boro Saturday with lot of cows E. The
name of the steamer Annie L. Vanciver, re
Gently bought by the Maine Central r. r.
for use in the Frenchman's Bay and Mt
Desert business, has been changed to the
SamOSet The boat has been for some time
at Rockland undergoing repairs and re-
modelling. The steamers of the Eastern
Steamship Company will begin making
stops at NOrthport June 22nd. e. While the
steamer Penobscot is running special
freight trips, temporary changes have been
made among the officers of the steamers on
the Bangor division of the Eastern Steam
ship Co. Capt. Curtis has gone back to the
City of Rockland, his old boat, and Capt
Roix takes the Penobscot. Capt. Brown
retains command of the City of Bangor.
Capt Sawyer, first pilot on the Rockland,
has gone with Capt. Roix as first pilot in
the PenObscOt. Business is booming and
the freight traffic never was so heavy.
On her up-river trip Tuesday afternoon,
Just before reaching the monument, the Gold
en- Rod blew out tube of her boiler, filling
the boat with steam and causing some
alarm among the passengers. She had
steam enough to bring her back to the low
er steamboat wharf, where the Silver Star
gave assistance. Repairs were made and
the Golden Rod proceeded up-river. :. The
steamer ROckland, which has been tied up
at Bath for some months, has been bought
by Capt. V. K. Arey of West Brooksville
and Fred G. White Of Belfast, and after a
general Overhauling and extensive repairs
West BroOksville. The steamer fremont,
now on this route and owned by the same
parties, will be put on a route from Bangor
to 1slesborO. touching at Stockton Springs.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The appeal of Columbia students to
continue their football association until
next spring was denied Monday by the
faculty.
Springfield Union: Arthur Irwin, the
baseball manager and inventor of the
football score board, says one thing
the rules committee needs to do very
much is to frame n set of rules for
school teams separate from the rules
for the more matured college players.
Irwin is now located in Kansas City
and his suggestion is in line with that
of A. A. Stage. the University of Chi
Caga member of the rules committee.
He says the sentiment in the West is
strongly in favor of having a game for
schcolboys that is less hard and trying
than for college men. If something of
the kind is not done the game is in
danger of being cut out by the Western
schools. he says

Jimmy Callahan's decision to quit pro-
fessional baseball will be a blow to the
outfield of the White Stockings next year.
Although Comiskey secured a couple of
outfelders last fall by purchase and draft
none OF them is up to the class Callahan
has shown. Comiskey's two new men
who will be eligible for. the outfield posi-
tons are Jack O'Neil and Charles Hemp
hill, secured from the Toledo club of the
American Association. Both have been
in the American League before and found
wanting. Neither is youngster. ana
while they showed strong in minor league
company, their ability to measure up 70

strengthening, and Comiskey hoped. with

CARDIGAN AFTER PROOF.
"Worked for Business Concern" But
Played No Summer Ball.

The following special dispatch to the
Springfield, (Mass) Republican from
Worcester appeared in that paper. Dec.
Is. 1t may be of interest to those inter-
ested in the Trolley League:
civilian Carrigan, the star catcher
of last years Holy Cross baseball team
has returned to his home in Lewiston
Me-, with n view of disproving the al
legations made against him Of playing
professional baseball in Winthrop, Me,
last summer. According to the claim
made against Carrigan, he had received
$15 to S1S weekly for baseball services.
"Carrigan denies most emphatically
that he has ever received money for
summer baseball, although he admitted
having worked for Winthrop business
concern a portion of last summer. Any
game he had played while in Winthrop.
he stated, had been played without any
compensation upon his part. Carrigan
believes that he will have but little diff
ficulty in denying the charges brought
against him and hopes to return after
Christmas and report for the prelimi-
nary baseball practice"

OF the wild timber and cultivated tim
Der. They did SO. The returns show

The returns show that catalpa grows
mostly in the eastern half of the State.
although few western counties, such
as Ford and kingman, have a big
acreage. Walnut timber is found al
most exclusively in the eastern half.
cottonwood grows chiefly in the CEN
tral counties, while locust is found
principally in the western counties.
Black locust. SO experts say, is the
best timber for the extreme

The new catech:sm recently published
,t tb. order of Plus X, and which Is
to be translated eventually into all tn.
languag es in order that it may be adopted
in every church under the jurisdiction OF
the pope. is a new departure in the his
tory of the Roman Catholic church. One
point about the new catechism indicates a
marked change of opinion in the church
of Rome regarding the marriage doctrine.
While in the past the church has been
bitterly opposed to civil marriages as II
necessity adjunct to the church cere-
mony, the new catechism teaches that it
is the duty of every Catholic to contract Il
civil marriage as well as a religious one
in order that the legal consequences of
the marriage contract may not be placed
in ieoIardy.

state, with total Of 573 acres. Most
of these parks are heavily wooded. out
they are not counted in the general
total. Only forests owned by private
parties and concerns were included IN
that table.
The returns also show that there are
427e nonds and lakes in the State, with
a total of $40 acres.
The assessors found 2904 acres OF
private ornamental grounds. These are
private parks mostly.
All told. AGO acres of good Kansas
land are occupied by rural school
houses. Perhaps twice that much
ground is used by the city schools ana
fully twice as much by the various COL
Ieges Of the State. So it is safe to
asy that $4,000 acres are devoted to
schoolhouses exclusive of the big ex-
detrimental farms of the agricultural
college.
