NOTES OF THE NOTABLES

Nil has gone and done It. In the
seventh inning he threw Laporte's Fairly
easy chance into the Erandstand. He
has been threatening that all the year
Maybe, now that it's out Of his sys-
TEN, he'll do better.
Hickman struck out three times, and
two Of them were occasions when any
kind of bang would have meant a
run. He is biting badly at curved balls,
and several pitchers seem 20 have him
bufeloed from the start.
Falkenberg had all sorts OF speed and
wide curves, but ii was no trouble TO
hit him.
Patten would have gone in at the
start, but his arm was not right. He
should never have entered the box
Willie Sudhoff stopped the hitting and
made two clean singles himself
Schlafiy's error was due TO rank care
lessleSs in handling a slow bounder
from Orth IN the fourth inning
Evans did fairly well on balls and
strikes in the first three innings. but
after that he was extremely erratic.

have constantly appeared, like evil ge-
muses., in Russian history just at the
time when conditions were more promis
ing for putting an end TO despotism, to
turn the Russian rulers from liberalism
back into the paths of reaction. 1t was
he who became the guiding spirit OF the
reaction, after Nicholas III. had issued hia
famous manifesto, in the fall of 1903
promising the people a share in the gov
ernment. Holding the position of master
of the palace, in league with the court
plOtters, who were determined to restore
the old regime, he constantly had the En-
perOrs ear.
Trepoff's life was many times attempted,
but he always escaped. when the Grand
Duke SergiuS was aSsassInared, he was
named governor general of Moscow. Later
Trepoff was summoned to st. Petersburg
and given the command of the Imperial
Guards and made governor general of the
city.
He took up his residence in the winter
palace and became in fact, if not in name

scale was momentarily expected. Thou

poff in the saddle, the aspect of affairs
changed. Troops filled the streets and
dead walls were placarded with notices
that the slightest disorder would be sup
pressed without mercy. Under his iron
hand the city became quiet.
During those trying weeks plot aftei
plot to kill him was discovered and frus
trated. Two of his own nieces were in
volved in the conspiracy. But in his dun
geon-like room in the center of the paiace
where no bomb could reach him, save by
shattering a dozen walls, with the tele-
phone constantly at his side, he issued or

A Wise Cat.

A true cat story is told by CORE
spondent of the Hartford COUrant. A
family moved to new home twelve
miles from the old one. They gave
their cats to a friend about six miles
from the new home. One Of them, the
mother cat, remained at her new quar-.
ters only a short time, and nothing was
heard from her until this summer, when
nearly two years had passed. One
morning she was discovered in the yard
of her old mistress home in the city
which she had never seen, being born
and raised at the old home in the coun-
try. To the greeting of her mistress
she responded with every show Of affec
tiOn and delight. OF course, the wan.
derer was made welcome. She shows
q decided aversion to being put out Of
doors at all, and clings with q devoted
ness which is really touching to her old
friends. "Now," asks the writer, could
this be merely chance that pussy, in
her tramp life, should find her way to
that particular place, or do these dumb
creatures know more than we give them
credit for?"

Doctors Differ ns to Alcohol.

During the recent meeting OF the Brit
ish medical association, Toronto, opin-
ions as to the value of alcohol were ex-
pressed. Prof. Woodhead testified that
surgeons had come to the conclusion that
alcohol interferes with the production of
the state of immunity and that it inter
feres with the recovery OF the patient.
Also Sir Victor Horsley thought that the
value of alcohol as a drug was now prac-
tically nil.
