THE DIAMOND.
MAY BE
 ANOTHER CLASH
The Taylor Case May Cause
 Disruption of Leagues Where the Teams Will
 Train-Oiher Gossip.

New York, Jan 13.-BeyUnda Saa long argument on 7aall T sorts of topics, nothing of great i'm portance was accomplished at the Cincinnati conference except the agreement between the two big leagues to open the championship sea- son together on April l4. Pulliam and Johnson will draw up the schedules. each of 154 games, and there will be as few conflicts as possible. The New York Nationals will open the season at the Polo grounds on this date. while the New York Americans will probably open at Philadelphia. After playing three or four games in New York the New York Nationals will go away for several days. tine New York Americans returning in the mea1l- while to cut the season open at Amer ican League park. If the schedules can be,so arranged that several double headers will be arranged for the latter part of the season. the two champion ship races will close simultaneously on October ,. in which event there will be plenty of time for q worlds series if the rival champion teams can be brought together. The minor leagues. incidentally. discovered that they were still doomed to oppression. for they came away from the conclaye with nothing. The Taylor case. it seems. may be source of trouble be- tween the big leagues. especially if at the next session of the national com
 mission Hermann and Pulliam stand by Hart and turn down Johnson. with his friend Comiskey. If Hermann has been quoted correctly, he has al- ready decided the case against the ball player. and Pulliam will back him up. That will allow Hart to carry the day by vote of ? to 1. All things consid- cred, 1t looks as if the i'll feeling be- tween the rival leagues has been in tensitied, with the chances for open warfare greatly increased.

afternoon was spent in couvtreation

In the evening dainty repast.

chicken, sandwiches, etc, ice cream

and thanks are due to the Misses

Sadie Hulet, who waited so gracefully
on the table and anticipated the
wants of their older sisters, which
made the surprise complete success

who passed by on their loads Of

proud or dignified to turn their beads
in the direction of their meeker

presents received by Sister Daley
were a pair of pillow slips, with wide
crochet lace, sofa pillow cushion

Tired
Nervous

When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low-your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the inn
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DR..
Miles Nervine, nerve food,
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
"My wife suffered with nervousness
previous TO n recent attack OF typhoid
fever, but after her recovery from tho
fever, she was much worse, and could
hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good nights rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. DIR. Miles Nervine was recon-
mended by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a good nights
rest. and at the end OF the first weeks
treatment she was wonderfully i'm
proved. Continued use OF Nervine has
completed her entire cure"

PETER THE GREAT.
History Shows That the Old RULER
of Russia Was "a Monster,

History Shows That the Old Ruler
of Russia Was "a Monster.
Years ago, when Il low standard Of
morals prevailed, the cpithet Great
was bestowed upon any monarch who
won battles and enlarged the territory
and resources Of his Kingdom. Itmatter-
ed little then to the historian what might
be IL kings private character, provided
lie made his nation formidable by its
brute strength and full treasury. Even
II he was bad man they eulogizel
him us Il good ruler. Peter l. of Rus
STA is called Peter the Great be-
cause he transformed barbarous into
senlibarbarous nation. But 10 one
can now read the following summary
of his character without feeling of
disgust. Eoltaire, in his "phIlosoph-
ical Dictionary" says that Peter was
half hero and half tiger" Mucaulay
declares that ito the end of his life he
lived in his palace like u hog in Il sty,
and when he was entertained by other
sovereigns never failed to leave I'M
equivocal proof that savage had been
there"
Peter, when the fit was on him, lit
orally caned everybody-from his cook
to his counselor, from the meanest
peasant to the highest noble-sparlng
neither age nor sex. He would get up
from the table aud fog the host who
was entertaining him. He would stand
at the door of the senate house and
fog each senator that went in. Lefort
was an intimate and trusted friend,
yet on slight provocation he was
knocked down and brutally kicked by
his imperial master. But alI this fog
ging was In the way Of recreation.
When Peter meant business" it was
more serious matter. Incredible as
1t may seem, 1t is nevertheless we'll
authenticated that one. Of his own SIS
ters-it is said more than one-received
100 strokes of the whip on her back in
the presence of the whole court.
In 1713 Alexis, his only son who out
lived Infancy, was for some offense of
no great seriousness several times tor
tured In the presence Of the diabolical
father and in the end died either from
the effect of the torture or by assassi-
nation. For sympathizing with Alexis
the Princess Golitsyn, the bosom COM
panion Of the Empress Catherine. was
publicly whipped by soldiers. For the
same reason the brother of his first
wife, EudoXia-whom he had thrown
Into prlson-was tortured and then
torn In pieces OH the wheel Nothing
ever told Of Nero Is more horribly gro
tesque than this, yet this man, or mon.
ster rather, is paraded before the world
as Peter the Great.

A MEDlAEVAL NAVY.
The Queer Implements of Attack and
Defense That Were Used.

The Queer Implements of Attack and
Defence That Were Used.
Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armament of Great Britain's
medieval navy. The very names Of
many Of the implements of attack and
defense sound queer. According to the
books, in the year 1887 the vessels of
the navy were furnished with ''es-
pringalds," ancient spring guns; "hau-
bergeons," coats of mail; "bnc!nets,"
small helmets; bows. arrows. doublets,
targets; "pavises," large Shields placed
at the sides and serving the double
purpose of protection against the sea
and against the enemy: lanccs and
firing barrels" AS early as 1888
cannon formed part Of the armament
of ships. and about 1872 guns and gun
powder were commonly used. Among
the stores belonging to one vessel of
that time were three iron cannon with
five chambers, a hand gun and three
old stone bags, probably for shot. An
other ship had an iron cannon with two
chambers and one brass cannon with
one chamber.
Among other Implements of war
used at that time We're cannon
paviors'' or stone shot. throwers and
"murtherers." which were smaller and
threw any kind of shot There were
also "basillsks," port pieces" ''stock
fowlers," "sakers" and "bombards."
The bombards were of hammered iron,
made Of bars welded and bound to-
gether with iron bands. They threw
stone shot weighing between 140
pounds and 105 pounds. A battery Of
these erected on slip of land at the
naval battle of Chioggla (13SO) between
the yenetians ahtl the Genoese did
great damage. They We're loaded over
night and were fired in the morning
Froissart tells Of lombard used at
one Of these ancient sieges that Knight
be heard five leagues off in the day
time and ten at night. The report Of
1t was SO loud that it seemed as IL all
the devils in hell had broken loose"
Brass ordnance was first cast in Eng
land in the year 1886. The pieces had
various names. Many of different
caliber were mounted on the same
deck, which must have caused great
confusion In action III finding for each
Its proper shot.
