Thomas o. connelI Killed by Astoria
Train Near Warren.

A man named Thomas o. .Connell
was run over by the noon train on the
A. and c. railroad Sunday about a
mile south of Warren station. He was
walking on the track, but seemed to
pay no attention to the whistle from
the engine. Coroner Cliff of Columbia
county was notified and took charge of
the remains and an inquest was held.
The evidence adduced showed that he
was walking along the track and when
the whistle was blown he deliberately
walked to the opposite side of the track
so that the engineer could not see
him, and laid down on the rails. Grasp
ing the opposite rail and was cut in
two. There is no doubt but it was
case of deliberate suicide A letter of

CRO0KEDNESS IS ALLEGED
Several Cases Of crookedness Before
the National Commission for In
vestisaticn--Nosed 5all Players
Expelled From the League.

New York, Feb. 13.-For the first
time in many years baseball player
is to be placed on trial charged with
irregularity on the diamond. The board
of directors Of the National league
win meet for that purpose today in
this city, when an investigation will
be made of the charges against Pitch
er Jack Taylor Of the ST. Louis club
in connection with game played at
Pittsburg on July 80. last.
IN 1877 four players Of the Louisville
club--Devlin, Hall. Craven and Mich
olas-were tried on charges of throw
ing games in the interest Of certain
pool room gamblers. who operated in
Brooklyn, Hoboken and Chicago. Tele-
grams were intercepted. the players
were found guilty ana expelled for life
from the National league. They after
ward made many attempts to be rein
stated. but their petitions were re.
fused and the four men never again
played professional ball with an or
ganized club.
Even semi professional and anna
teur clubs refused to play teams that
had one of the men under an assumed
name in their mines. Two separate ac-
cusations have been made against |
Taylor. The first was in connection |
with the post season series of 1903, be-
tween the Chicago National and Amer
lean league clubs. President Hart of
the Chicago Nationals alleges Taylor |
said during the series that he would |
only get 500 for winning and could get |
$500 for losing. The series ended in a |
tie.
This case is before the national COM
mission and win not be tried by the

league directors. The charge they will
investigate grew out OF statement
made last month by President Gary
Hermann OF the Cincinnati club. Her
mann said that his charge had nothing
to do with the Chicago case. He al
luded to q game played In Pittsburg
and to man named Mccormick as
having won large sum of money on
a game played between st. Louis and
on July 80. In which Taylor
pitched and which was won by the
Pirates.

Two Irishmen, evidently Iaborers
with day off, were peering through

from the foundation excavations, and
with kissing, sizzling sound let's out
the steam in such way that the

A Woman Of 80.

When one knows the age of wom-
an one knows the woman. The very
fact that she permits you to know her
age exposes her character. She no
longer masquerades. She has lost a
certain uncertainty, an evanescent
delicacy, that was an Irresistible
charm. Women. like philosophy, are
divided into two classes, the know
able and the unlSnowable Also. like
philosophy, it is the unknowable wom-
an who is the speculable. Therefore,
to get her at her highest capacity,
she must be unmarried and about so,
says the indianapolis News.
The married woman presents GER
tain inescapable tell-tale data. She
has children, and those children have
apparent ages, two facts which so far
in determining her annals. If she is
unmarried is not about 80 she
is under SO-again definite fact Be
ing "about 80" is indefinite. She may
be more or less. No one hazards a
guess. There is a delightful vague
ness in being "about SO" 1t has moth
ing to do with dates; and many Of us
who from our youth up have felt no
attachment for dates can forgive the
unattached their confessed indiffer-
ence.

Just an incident Of Hoyhood.

The lad who had thrown the sphere
waited until he saw that his compan-
ion did not mean to recover the
sphere. Then he ran after the ball
and as he came sprinting back the
lad on the curb said shortly
Il guess that will teach you to
pitch right.
You said you'd lick me if I didn't
get the ball?" inquired the one who
had thrown it.
Sure" was the reply.
"And you'd a let it get lost sooner
than get it."
Sure"
well, I got it, he said, tuclSing the
ball into his jacket pocket, "and now
I'm going to lick you for being so
grumpy"
And he did.
Then they fell TO playing ball again.

AT THE TOMB OF eRoTlus.
First Burial at Rostock, but He Was

First Burial at Rostock, but He Was
Finally Laid in Delft, Holland.
The first burial place of Grotius was
at Rostock near the German coast,
and there, before the high altar of its
great church today, is sacredly pre-
served, as an honor to Germany, the
tomb in which his body was temper
arily enshrined.
But his wish had been to rest in his
native soil, says Andrew D. White in
the Atlantic, and, after a time, his re-
mains were conveyed to the Neither
lands. 1t is hard to believe, and yet
1t is recorded, that as his coffin was
borne through the city of Rotterdam,
stones were thrown at it by the bigot-
ed mob; finally it was laid in a crypt
beneath the church of Delft, his birth
place.
Few monuments are more suggest
i've to the thinking traveller than that
ancient cathedral There lie the
bones of men who took the lead in
saving the Dutch republic and civil
liberty from the bigotry Of Spain.
Above ALL in the apse, towers the
canopied tomb of William the Silent
sculptured marble and molten
bronze showing forth the majesty Of
his purpose and the gratitude Of his
people Hard by, in quiet side aisle
is the modest tomb Of Grotius, its in
scription simple and touching.
Each Of these two great men was 9
leader in the service of liberty ant
| Justice; each died a martyr to un
reason. Both are risen from the dead
and live foreyermore in modern lib
erty, civil and religious, in moderI
law fatal to tyranny in modern in
stitutions destructive to intolerance
and above all, in the heart and mint
OF every man who worthily under
takes to serve the nobler purposes o
his country or the larger interests o

Eniqmatical But True.

Visitors to the old cemeteries in
New England often meet with queer
epitaphs as they pass among the de-
cayed and crumbiins headstones.
Here is one to be seen on one in the
cemetery or "burying HILL" as the
guides call the spot in Plymouth,
Mass:
Here's TO the memory Of Mary Trexton.
Who married many man but never
vexed one.
Not to be said Of the woman who lies in
the next one.
The grave is only about hundred
feet from the Charlotte Cushman
memorial where her parents are bur
led, although her interment place is
in the Mount Auburn cemetery, Bos-
ton. Around Mary .Trexton's grave
are those of her three husbands,
whose deaths preceded hers. In the
next grave lies the body Of a woman
whom the guide declared was a spin
ster, hence the force Of truth in the
epitaph noted.
