A rumor has reached Topeka of the
sale of Pitcher Cheney by Gus Alberts

One Of the most popular and most
disgusting things for the rooters to do
is to knock on q player when he makes
a rnisplay This tendency is more no
ticeable in the case of Henry than OF
any other player. Jack IS not up to his
old time form to be sure, but he Is
fast rounding to. He has probably had
a harder time this season than any
other man on the team, owing to his
sickness in the spring when the other
men on the team were getting into
FORM He is now doing almost as good
work as any other catcher in the cir
cult and the fans should be more con-
siderate, as knocking takes the hear
out of any player.

ANY one who Judges the condition
Of the Island by the reports of the
meetings of the Executive Council
will certainly be forced to the concl-
usion that we are living in the most
delectable country in the world, and
that nothing worthy the attention of
the ineffable occupants of power occ-
ures in Porto Rico.
Nothing transpircs here to disturb
the congregantes, nothing to inter
fere with the delightful siestas which
they are enjoying, nothing that they
deem of sufficient Importance to mar
their blissful repose.
The last meeting of the Executive
Council was one of profound placidity.
Completely ignoring all that occ-
urs here, the congregantes allow the
hours of the official siesta to pass in
unruffled calm.
They have succeeded in isolating
themselves In such way that they do
not hear the heart-rending cries of
the survivors of the disaster of San
Sebastian calling for help which is
not forthcoming; and they feign their
role of Indifference SO we'll that in
spite Of the fire which has laid that
town in ruins, they have not shown
the slightest pity or compassion.
They have gone on considering
other matters just as if the cataStr-
ophe in San Sebastian had not occ-
urred while the homeless people of
that town continue leading t1 e r
wretched lives-a mere existence-in
the midst of the most cruel and terr-
ible hardships that can be imagined.
Another grave matter which our
tutors appear to have ignored is one
that affects the greater part of the
municipalities of the Island: the new
municipal law.
Nothing has been accomplished by
the com ing of the Alcaldes of several
Of the towns of the Island to express

Mail by Airship.
A speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, charging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta
ton near the entrance to the power
station. A mail clerk came down the

thrown into the chute. He was ques-
toned eagerly by the MEN still stand

the bulletins had given them.
AS he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:

At that the shock-headed youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on lnto

District, supplying not only Washlng-

In the early morning the crowd!
which spent most of the night at the
bulletin-board were gathering again
At no time had the place been entire
Iy deserted. Several men had never
been out of eyeshot of the bulletins
One of them, q shock-headed youth in
overalls and wearing the cap of a
government electrician, sat on the
stone curbing by the entrance to the
power station, smoking small black
pipe, seemingly more occupied with
meditation than observation.
Most Of the men who were now gath
ering about the board, were coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
Of the power station from which they
had come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build
ings being Partially hid in grove OF
trees.
ians were almost silent. They seemed
mise, and to be waiting for the tangible
to take place Of conjecture.
On the Verge of War.
In Washington the federal news edi-
tor apparently had worn out himself
and his staff in keeping up a detailed
account of the all-night session of Con-
gress. AS daylight came, the service
wabbled, and what had been a con-
nected, well-sustained story of congress
sional proceedings had slumped to a
series Of jerky bulletins Of which the
last had come half-hour before, read
ing:
Williams still has the floor. He is
making no Roadway against the major
ity. War seems inevitable"
To the men starting for the shafts,
this carried no news which they had
no known before they had gone away,
few hours earlier, to get such sleep
and rest as they could.
While they stood watching, another
bulletin came:
Congress has taken an hours re-
cess for breakfast. No action"
The coal miners in the crowd read
this, and then started for work. Soon
there were left only a few scattered
