TEST GAME

An important game of ball will be
played at the Fair frounds tomorrow
afternoon at three o'clock, when Fair.
mont High School lines up against
Grafton High for. the third game of
the present series. Each team has
taken game, Fairmont the first by. a
score of 1913 and Grafton the sec
ond, ST..
The lineup of the High School will
probably be changed somewhat for
this game, in order to strengthen the
weak places at second and in right
field. 1t is probable that Captain
Jesse Lynch will go to second base,
Pitzer to left field, Stevens to center
and Quinn or Hamilton G. to right.
The lineup Of the team therefore
will probably be as follows: McCray,

SMITH.

A wave of sadness swept over the
city this morning when it was learn.
ed that Mabel A:leen, the dear little
daughter Of Rev. and Mrs. G. D.
Smith, had passed away this morning
at one O'clock at Cumberland, Nd. Lit.
tie Aileen had been in very poor health
the entire winter and some time ago
her physicians pronounced her
trouble to be diabetes in form in.
Variably fatal. On Tuesday of this
week she was taken by her parents
to the JOHNS Hopkins Hospital at Bal.
timore to consult with the Hospital
physicians. On their return trip the
little one grew worse and It was
thought unwise to proceed further
than Cumberland. Physicians and
nurses were summoned butBtheir eff
forts could not prolong the little ones
| life and death came at the time stated
above, Aileen was three years Of
age and was an unusually bright lit
tie girl. Her sweet face and charm

circle of warm, loving friends who are
deeply grieved at her untimely death
The bereaved parents have the pro
found sympathy of the entire commu
nifty in their sad bereavement. The
precious little remains were brought
here on Il to-day where they were
met by large number of friends ant
conveyed to the family home on Gas

continues to be an absorbing topic
here. The Railway Age, Off cial 81

rial, which says in part:
"Alost of the jEurope present are
inclined 10! visit some criticism upon
the Secretary of War for his more or

issue into the lighter talk Of the even-s
ing. This attitude, too, is shared by
a considerable number Of Americans
1.-THE most natural and perhaps n
the most general opinion is that. Sec
rotary Tafts speech was intended to-
serve notice upon the railway men
that the government is in earnestfin Il
It's railway rate programme and that
It expects the railway managers of

an inspired reply Of the railroad men
to Secretary Taft's expressions was.
delivered last night at a second ban
quet to the. International Congress-
by John Baldwin, general counsel Of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
1.-THE law which Congress is re.
quested to enact, will give to seven
men the legislative power to make a
rate, the. judicial and jury prerogatlves,
to try the railroads, the executive
power to enforce their rulings, he
declared. 'If this law means any:
thing, it means executive aggrandize-
ment and reprisals. With seven men
controlling the railroads of the coun-l
try, looking to the executive who gave
them appointment for instructions, I
ask what is to hinder some future ex-
ecutive from confiscating the rail-.
roads? Legislation such as contem-j
plated. If hastily passed, will prove
to be only the mask of soclalism's

CABINET MEETING.
President Meets His Official Family
For First Time In Six Weeks.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May l2.-
Excepting those absent from the city,
Secretaries Hay and Wilson, every
member Of the cabinet attended the
meeting at the White House this
morning, the first for six weeks.
After receiving the congratulations
OF his advisers on the success of his
trip, the President entered at once
with them into discussion of the
various matters of public business
that have accumulated during his alb
sence.

years. My business is to hear other
people talk and then decide for my.
self, but today the President would
talk for a while and then make me
talk. have learned good many
things in this talk, and believe now
that we railway people must come to
his views, and he has made me think
1t Is going to be a good thing for US.
1t will be hard at first, and there will
be more or less Of costly experiment,
but in the end It will benefit not only
the general public, but the railways
themselves"
Not the least factor in this general
rousing Of patriotism has been the
personal love manifested for Mr..
Roosevelt by every one with whom
he came In contact, or who was in
the slightest degree connected with
the trip
Those who were in the party no.
ticed this, of course, more particularly
In the railway men. From vice pres.
ident or the general superintendent OF
the road sitting In his private car
watch in hand, noting the time made
and the quality Of the motion or the
train down to the section hand who
gave spike one final clinching blow
before the train passed over it, there
was the same solicitude. "Thts is the
Presidents train, dye see and it's
not my carelessness that's going tc
get him hurted," said a car inspector
! who was humping the wheels and
packing the axe boxes at division
point down in the territory, and when
the train pulled out because time was
up, he protested almost tearfully that
he had not done his work thoroughly
enough. The President happened tc
be out taking the air, and, unknown
to the inspector, he chuckled in ap
probation.
So it was everywhere. Peopl,
stayed up all night in order that the,
might see the lantern that swun.

gathered at the little stations on til,
prairie or5up in the mountains an,
cheered themselves hoarse as tn,
train rushed by and out into the dark
ness. Men stood at attention or will
barred heads in lonely canons or il
the bare grazing lands. Even the la
borers along the road, foreigners 70
the most part, lifted their hats, no
wholly compromising, perhaps, bu
understanding at least that grea
parsonage was passing. What
rough rider said at San Antonio
Every one of the boys would go t,
hell for Teddy" had its meaning evel
beyond the limits of that organization
No wonder the President feels tina
this has been the most successful tri
he has ever taken. and that it i
worth while for a President to ru
the risks Of travel to get acquainte
with the people.

Sport a Great Dog


Sport is the pet of the first police pre-
cinct. Sport is a dog, and is the property
Of Patrolman Sampson. who has owned him
for over two years past.
When first seen by the officer who was
then night duty. Sport was sitting
upon a doorstep at 10th and D streets. It
was cold night in summer. and as the
officer was making his hourly rounds he
heard a soft whine" and upon investiga-
tion saw Sport" curled upon the stone
step. trying to keep warm.
His body was emaciated from long fast
Ing and he feebly attempted to wag the
stump of his tail in a friendly greeting.
With pity in his heart the policeman took
the dog home and told his wife to feed It,
From that time on Sport has known a
good thing.
Sport" Is just a plain dog; he has no
special breed, but gifted with just little
more than ordinary dog sense. He is not q
large dog, but what he lacks in size he
makes up in muscle. He is little over
past two years with plenty of fresh meat
daily from the Center market has made
him sort of ''frisky pup.
This freshness leads him to chase cats.
While he has no mortal grudge against the
feline kind, still he seems to take delight
In chasing them.
But this as far as Is known, is tho. only
black spot In Sports character. He is
the pet of the children and never hesitates
TO stop long enough to receive q friendly
caress from one of his little friends.
AS an officer of the law Sport" has quite
q record. He objects to daylight assign
ments and will work only at night. He is
almost regular attendant at evening roll
calls at the police station, and marches

fear of Fehin Pasha and their knowledge
that he was the sultan's confdant prevent
ed them from attempting any kind of in
reference.
Within two hours of mis- violent death the
prince was in his grave. No one saw the
body except Fehin Pasha, the three AL
banians and two other attendants who
sisted in the burial. There was no kind of
religious ceremony at the princes inter-
ment. He was buried in the garden of his
own palace, not In coffin, but wrapped
only in a linen sheet.
When the last act of the tragedy had
been performed Fehin Pasha proceeded to
the Yildiz Kiosk and reported the death
and burial Of the prince to the sultan, who,
it is stated, displayed no emotion whatever
at the news. An official communication
was then issued by the news bureau Of
the Turkish government and telegraphed
through the ordinary channels to all parts
of the world to the effect that Prince
Ahmed Kemal Eddin had died suddenly and
had been buried.
It has taken a fortnight for all the details
of the crime to become known, and the
story as 1 have given 1t is the one current
in the best-informed circles of the Turkish
capital. Several diplomatic representatives
of foreign powers have forwarded a similar
report of the princes death to their gov
ernments

rom the Christian Register.

From the Christian Register.
There was once q famous prize fighter
who outlived the fierce enthusiasm OF the
prize ring, and became Disguised with its
brutality He determined to live better
life; but his moral outlook was limited
and his upward course had peculiar as
poets. for he reasoned and acted in this
way: First. he gave up the physical bru-
tally of the prize fighter. Then he opened
a liquor saloon, thinking he had taken
an upward step. because he no longer In
fiicted physical injuries with his own hand.
Then he became aware of moral degrade
ton caused by his indiscriminate sale OF
liquors. Again he took what seemed to
him an upward step in the moral life He
opened a gambling room. in which. as he
said. straight game was played. Now
he earned his living without physical vio-
lence. without tempting his fellows to
drunkenness, by the exercise OF purely in
teliectual faculties. He was an honest
gambler who took his profits from an open
game honestly played. In the last hun
dred years similar transformations have
taken place on large scale in the world
of business. From piracy and the slave
trade. once financed" by men of respecta-
BILE social standing, on to the refinements
of legalized robbery, the steps are similar
to those taken by the reformed prize
fighter.

Prince Ahmed Renal Eddin.

Sultan of Turkeys fear of assassinatio has
become perfect mania. The impression
created on his mind by the Belgrade crime
was all the greater because the regicides by
whose hands the Servian royal couple fell
were officers belonging to the Servian army.
Abdul Hamid was in such state of fear
and excitement after the Belgrade tragedy
that he hid himself from his own court,
fact which gave rise to the rumors of his
deposition and assassination by his AL
bantam body guard After a brief interval
Abdul 'Hamid recovered some degree of
composure, but traces of the fearful events
at Belgrade were found in his increased
nervousness and mistrust toward all his
relatives, courters and servants.
Recently events in Russia have caused the
sultan renewed anxiety. In spite of official
secrecy and of the strict Turkish censor
ship. which endeavored to prevent the Turk
ish nation from obtaining news of the as
sassination of Grand Duke Sergius, the
story Of the crime in Moscow rapidly be-
came known in Constantinople, and was re-
ceived by the Turkish people with feelings
of keen satisfaction The Turkish nation,
which regards Russia as it's hereditary en-
envy, has followed events in the far east
with intense interest, and, stimulated by the
revolutionary agitation in Russia, has al
ready sketched out picture of its own flu
ture, the realization Of which is based on
the Introduction of constitution and the
abolition of the present system of tyranni-
cal absolutism.
The sultan is well aware that the internal
revolution in Russia is viewed with SYM
pathy among the Turkish people, and the
enormous number of spies with which Alb
dull Hamid has surrounded all important
personages in the Ottoman empire take
care to depict popular feeling to the sultan
in the blacklist colors. According to trust
worthy reports from his immediate sur
roundings, Abdul Hands forebodings are
gloomy in the extreme. He has withdrawn
more and more from immediate contact
with the nation and has turned mis- palace
into fortress, which serves him at the
same time as a voluntary prison.
The events in Russia have also affected
the sultans state of health In alarming

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE,M May Is, 1905.
On April 25 official announcement was
issued to the effect that the sultans brother,
Prince Ahmed Kemal Eddin, was dead and
buried. This announcement caused consid
cradle surprise because no one in the Turk
ish capital. even in the court circles, had
the least idea that Prince Ahmed Renal
Eddin was suffering from any malady. The
news of his illness, death and burial came
simultaneously and gave rise to legitimate
suspicious regarding the nature of his de-
cease. Great secrecy was maintained re-
garding the whole affair, and, although
most persons who are acquainted with the
methods of the Turkish court felt sure what
had happened, 1t has taken a couple of
weeks for the truth to filter through the
court circles and come to the knowledge of
the outside world.
Prince Ahmed Kemal Eddin did not die a
natural death, but was murdered; and there
are good grounds for believing that he was
strangled by order of his imperial brother.

manner, his old heart complaint having be-
come more acute. If revolution were to
break out in Turkey the sultan knows that
the people would not initiate the example of
the st. Petersburg workmen, and approach
their monarch unarmed to lay their griev-
ances before him. Abdul Hamid knows
that every Turk is armed and understands
how to make good use OF his weapons. A
revolution in Constantinople, If successful
would inevitably result in the savage butch
cry of the sultan and his courtiers.
Contemplation of these terrible POSSIBLE
lilies has driven Abdul Hamid into a verit-
