Roses fielding were the features
Hanson held the visitors to a trio of
hits, didn't walk a man, hit two,
struck out four. His work would win
nine out Of ten games and a little
stick work by his team mates would
have won despite the adverse luck. 1t
was hard to lose a game after such
excellent box work.
The contest was somewhat in the

The Prime of Life.

The larger part of the great fortunes
of this country have been accumulated
after their amassers have passed forty.
In fact, the first forty years of mans
life are the preparatory years, the
years of training and discipline. A
large part of this time he is laying the
foundation just getting ready to rear
the superstructure. Many of us STUN.
BILE around many years before we get
into the right place, and then for addi-
tional years we make many mistakes.
Most men do not get wise until they
have passed forty. They may get
knowledge before this, but not much
wisdom. Wisdom is ripening proc
ess. 1t takes time. Every man makes
his own dead line. Some reach it at
thirtyNfiye, some at forty, some at fifty;
some do not reach it at eighty; some
never reach 1t because they never cease
to grow.-Success Magazine.

The Change of a word.

A remarkable instance of verbal deg
radiation is the word slave" Its orig
inal, the Russian "slava,' meant glori-
GUS, being etymologically akin to the
English word glory" and was proud
ly taken as their name by the Slavonic
people. But when the Germans re-
duced hosts of the Slavs to servitude
their name, from malice or accident,
as Gibbon says, became synonymous
with "servile." Itretains no more sug-
gestion of It's racial origin now than
does "ogre," which Is really "Hun-
garian,' from confusion of the Mag
vars with the Huns, and of both with
the terrible Tartars.

games Saturday A high wind pre-
vailed at the afternoon game, and
made all work very uncertain and was
responsible for most of the numerous

1T was remarkable for the number of
two -baggers, of which there were sew

GOVERNMENT CLERKS
REORGANIZE LEAGUE

The chief clerks OF the Government
departments which were represented in
the Departmental Baseball League last
season met yesterday evening at the De-
partment OF Justice TO elect officers and
lay plans for the coming year.
There were representatives from all the
departments which had teams in the
field last year except the Congressional
Library. Il is very unlikely that thu
:3ookworms win join the league this
summer. as it was too much Of task
10 get the men 10 come out and play.
The loss OF Harmon Linthicum. the star
pitcher is another reason for their not
entering again this year. as there Is no
one on whom TO rely TO perform in the
box.
At the meeting last night the report
Of the treasurer showed the financial af-
fairs OF the club TO be in a flourishing
condition. As Mr. Rice. OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. who was last year 5
secretary. was absent on account Of i'll

RADICAL ACTION
ON RATE PROBLEM
Administration May Balk
Senate Committee.
LEADERS PLAY FOR TIME

Ask Consideration of Bill Be-
fore Entire Body.
LEADERS PLAY FOR TIME

The situation as to rate legislation Is
beginning TO clear somewhat, though the
tendency to delay is still SO marked,
especially in the Senate as 10 give c0i-
Germ 20 the advocates OF the program.
1t is known the President has small con-
fidence in the intentions of the Senate
committee leaders To facilitate action,
and that Senator Dolliver leader of the
legislation movement I'm the committee
has made vigorous intimatiOns that un-
less the committee shows a disposition
10 do something il may be necessary 10
take radical action.
This action, it is said would be TO
take the subject out of the hands OF the
committee. There is no doubt blll
viii be passed in the House The Hep
burn bill, as amended in some important
respects at Mr.. Townsend's instance, IS
expected TO be taken up in the House
after statehood. This program IS yet
tentative. and if the insurgency move
ment should prove strong enough 10
further embarrass. the Statehood policy
of the Administration, the rate bill
might be taken up ahead Of Statehood
Action Proposed.
After the House passes the bill, and
II goes 10 the Senate. the plan or e&-
pediting consideration there is 10 have
motion made 10 take up the measure
for immediate consideration, and 20 dis
charge the committee from further SER
vice on the subject
This would be radical. but Z is not
without precedent There Is warrant
for the statement that the machinery OF
the Senate Is back OF such a program.
provided il is by that time apparent
that the Senate committee Is disposed
to kIll the time and the legislation pro-
program. Such a motion would require
a majority vote and il would not be
made unless a thorough canvass had
demonstrated that a safe majority
would vote for il.
Some of the wise heads on the Re
publican side Of the Senate have been
insisting lately that this rate question
involves the Republican chance OF con-
trolling the next House. This view IS
entertained by leaders who. by reason
OF long service and influential positions
are able TO command respect. Senator
Allison, head Of Appropria tiOns and OF
the Steering Committee. Is one Of this
grOuD.

1t was good TO be there last night. II
was pleasant 10 meet and associate with
the young men-and some not so young
as welI-comprising the Washington
Chapter OF Bank Clerks.
All the arrangements had been made
to make the occasion a red letter one
IN the history OF the chapters existence.
Several prominent gentlemen had prom
ised TO be present and were down on the
program for speeches. but through some
misunderstanding they failed to put in
an appearance Chairman Wallace Stow
ell. Of the committee. was chagTined at
their absence, but it was up 10 him TO
make good" and he worked hard and
successfully to fill the gap, and the en-
thusiasm or the meeting was the best
evidence that he had succeeded.
George O'COnaor was there and gave
some OF mis- inlmitable songs. with Mat
Horn doing his very best 20 assist him
at the piano. Several excellent baritone
solos by William CIabaugh. who had as
an accompanist at the piano, Edward
Mdth, were enthusiastically received
and several encores demanded. Piano
solos by Charles Woodward were much
appreciated and the musical part Of
the program was voted a success.
Banker Paris was present and gave
some interesting experiences with re-
gard to bank clerks Of the past ard
kept his auditors in good humor by
comparisons with the young men who
attended 10 the business OF collecting
checks today. Prof. Claiming Rudd
suggested briefly a thought which he
felt might be well considered by the
younger men in their efforts to give
expression TO their actions. their char
acter, and their manner OF doing busi-
ness. which was well received, and at
the instigati0n OF President Poole
promptly initiated.
The question for discussion. on which
members were TO express themselves
briefly, was Practical Banking and
some OF the details connected with IT,.
Suggestions were offered by A II. Bed
ford and Charles Z. Bright, OF the
Metropolitan Bank; A s. Galley, OF the
Lincoln. and Fred Mathes. OF the Ma
tional Safe Deposit. while George o.
Watson, a former president. kept his
audience in good humOr by his happy
relation of some funny. experiences in

TO a call by giving some interesting facts
about the early days OF the city, and its
large inland commerce and saw no rea-
son why Washington should not be a

terests as well.
President Poole kept things moving az
a lively gait and while there was much
regret expressed that some OF those ex-
pected had not appeared the evening was
