stout collar and sixty yards of steel

College Auto Rugs.

The dizziest novelty in devil wagon
equipment" said a New York dealer
recently to a representative of the
New York Press, lis the college auto
mobile rug. The New York style
shows blue black on one side and solid
blue on reverse. Right from stock you
may select the coiors of Harvard,
Princeton, Columbia or those of sew
eral other representative institutions,
while on special order rugs emblematic
of any old alma mater can be turned
out in short time. It's a star opportu-
nifty for four flushers' who wish to
feign appearance of cOllegians. The
merchant is not in business for senti-
ment and therefore does not exact pro-
duction of certificate to fix Identified
ton. Anyway, it's none of his business
to inquire as to the past educational
performances of a customer; maybe
he's buying the rug for present"

NEW AIRSHIP PROPELLER.
Invention That 1t Is Believed Will
Solve Aerial Navigation Problem.

Invention That 1t Is Believed Will
Solve Aerial Navigation Problem.
In his laboratory in Newark, n. j..
where he has been working for years
to perfect his invention. Calvin Freid
made successful demonstration re
Gently Of new airship propeller, says
the New York American. Although
small models were used, the professor
believes the problem of aerial naviga-
ton has been solved.
The models used were made one OF
paper and the other OF metal. Scien-
tific tests with scales showed that
when in motion the lifting power of
the new propeller Is far greater than
its own weight and that of its motor.
DIR. Julian +. Thomas, who has just
purchased Major Miller's airship, pro-
nounces the Freid motor a remarka-
BILE piece OF mechanism and believes
that 1t will he of great value to sue
cessful aerial navigation. Freid, who
was long associated with Thomas A.
Edison, has been working ON this pro-
peller for over three years. The mod
els he now has are too small to carry
a man, but he is sure that with larger
ones he can lift any weight desired.
The inventor is now in communica-
ton with the German government and
other European powers with the idea
of having his propeller used in war
balloons. One of the advantages claim
ed is that he can send a balloon up In
any wind and that it will remain sta
tionary at any height. A technicality
in the methods of procedure in the
United States army practically pre-
cludes it from taking advantage of
the invention, although it was first Of
fered to it.
The propeller Freid bases his hopes
upon is Il long tapering affair looking
like the thread of a great screw with
the supporting center left out. With
motor underneath it rises perpen-
dicularly and will continue TO rise as
long as the power is kept up. Any
stoppage of the power causes it to de-
scend slowly. For practical use as
man carrying airship it is the plan OF
the inventor TO place the propeller
horizontal and. with an aeroplane
above, go i'll any direction he desires.

they suggest, and that is about all.
Players are totally dependent on the
man behind the money counter. \
player signs a contract for life. II

talk about, but he virtually says when
he signs a contract, Il am your man
Friday as long as you want me-"
1t Is like marrying. a man ties UP
for life, and death is almost the only
relief possible. Year after year that
man has got TO tie up with the Same
club with which he started off, pro-
vided, of course. that the club wants
him.
1t is a kind of one sided compact,
however. The club takes the man on
trial. If he makes good he is kept un-
til he becomes bad. Then he is told to
transport his belongings to other quar-
ters
The man has no option in the matter.
Each year before certain time OF the
season he is rendered u contract by the
club. If he does not get the tender be-
fore the time fixed, then he is free to
sign where he wants. The club which
owned him has given him his liberty,
has cut the ropes that tied him.
When he gets the offer of so much
salary he has to accept or refuse. If
he accepts he is supposed to work the
limit for what he is paid, and while he
may get raise during the year the
may" is entirely problematical
If he decides he does not want the
money offered him, thinks he is worth
more, he PROBABLY negotiates with the
club, sets forth his views The owners
may agree with him, and again they
may not. If they don't he has to come
to the clubs terms. quit the game or
play Independent or outlaw ball. He
can't play in the really green pastures.
Sometimes, of course player gets Il
club in a tight corner, and it has to
have him. Then he can pretty near
name his terms. But as a general rule
the club gets the player in the tight
corner. If the club needs good men.
finds them hard to get, the fans get to
kicking and the town gets hot the club
may come to the players ierms-again
predetermined.
Some players are able to sign a non
reserve clause contract-that is, they
don't have to play with one team but a
year and then are free to go where
they choose. But the majority of
leagues have barred nonreserve clause
contracts, the Southern doing so last
year.
When a player reports for duty he
does not report for pay until the open
ing of the league season. AS a general
rule, he works for one whole month to
get into shape without receiving a cent
of salary.

Perfumed Ink the Latest.

When the thoroughly equipped sum-
mer girl answers the notes of her new
est recruit she must use stationery of
the palest heliotrope. Her seal must
be of the same hue, and the latest fiat
is that her ink must be scented with
the same flower. Count Boni, husband
of Anna Gould, is credited with intro
ducing this novelty into the land of the
free. He shocked the proprietors of
that famous hostelry the Ponce de
Leon in st. Augustine by sending for
ink perfumed with violets. Common
ink, with its plebeiap odor. Count Boni
asserted, was impossible. So perfumed
ink is going the rou:1ds, and it is as es-
sential as sachet bags for the chiffo-
nier or essence for the handkerchiefs.
Hyacinth Is a favorite scent for ink,
for, being rather strong, it retains its
odor much longer.

an engagement with the Lynn club OF
the New England league. In 1883 he
joined the Wilkesbarre (Pa) club OF
the Central league.
