community, and the thrifty. saving Teu-
tons are coming In thicker every season.
The Germans in Ban Johnson's league are
about as follows:
Washington.
schlahy. speedy second baseman and
fast inside player.
Lave Cross. one OF the pillars Of the
game-a great third baseman and good
batter of many years service.
Hickman, a sturdy sIugger, falling short
in other qualities.

Athletics.
Hartzel, a lively little player, reliable
and clever at the bat, on the bases and in

Monte Cross. q great shortstop. rather
more peevish and irritable than the aver
age German player.
Schreckongost. typical burly German

Boston.
Stahl veteran who can still play the
field elegantly and hits over 800.
Jesse Tannehill one of the oldest left
handed pitchers now in big league service
and still star.
Chicago
Hahn, good, fast fielder. and fair hit

Lee Tannehill. a third baseman without
a superior as q fielder, but a poor bats
man.

Ing good hitter.
Altrock. a pitcher of great ability.
Cleveland.
Flick. one of the best fielders and hit
ters now in the game.
Rossman, a first baseman of excellent

Detroit
Schaefer. good fielder anywhere inside
the diamond; an able batsman.
Schmidt, a fast catcher and weak bats

New York.
Elberfeld. a peppery shortstop. who
never hit so well as he has done this sea-

Hoffman, a good outfielder, good batter
and great base thief.
Kleinow, who is considered good enough
to do twO-thirds of Grifith's catching
Yeager, an excellent all-round utility
man.
st. Louis.
Hartzell, hard working, but unlucky
third baseman.
Koehler. fast fellow. who would be a
prize If he could hit better
On the face Of the returns. the German
has evidently invaded the big leagues to
stay. He is coming in droves and he is
moro than making good.

BETTING RESUMED
AT GRAND CIRCUIT TROTS

READVILLE. Mass, August 30.-The de-
cision of Judge Plympton Of the Dedham
district court yesterday morning, in the
case Of four men arrested at this track last
Friday on the charge of registering BETS
allowing them to go free. was followed by
activity on the part Of horse followers at
the afternoon Grand Circuit meeting. Judge
Plympton ruled that while pool selling was
not allowable, open betting between indi-
viduals was not illegal at this track There
was heat betting on every race and every
precaution was taken by the track people
to have 1t done in accordance with the de-
cision.
Former Attorney General Parker served
notice on Chief Shaw of the state police
that If his men attempted to interfere with
the betting his clients would at once insti-
tute proceedings against them. Mr.. Parker
tried to serve q similar notice upon Govern
or Guild, but the latter was out Of the city.
The police were at the track, but attempted
no interference.
In two of the three events the favorite
failed to get first money, although there
were some hot finishes. The summarizes:

HEARS BEECHER'S VOICE.
His Spirit still Dominant In Plymouth
Church. Saws BrOOlxlYn Woman.

His Spirit still Dominant In Plymouth
Church, Says BROOKLYN Woman.
While under examination before for
mer Magistrate Watson and n sheriff'S
jury impaneled to pass upon her COM
potency to manage her affairs Mrs.
Elizabeth Heggan of Brooklyn recently
declared that the spirit of Henry Ward
Beecher is still the vital force at Plym-
outh church and that she never attends
services there without getting in COM
munication with the great preacher,
says the New York Herald.
Mrs. Heggan is refined woman of
thirty-f years. The petition to have
a committee of her person and estate
appointed was made by her sister, Mrs.
Emily Sweet of Boston.
In explaining her statement about
Beecher she said that she had been in
terested for many years in the occult
sciences and believed not only in tele-
pathic communication between living
persons, but in spirit communication
with the dead.
Even when the Rev DIR. Newell
Dwight Hills is preaching in Plymouth
church, Mrs. Hogan declared. she
can hear the voice of Mr.. Beecher COM
ing clear and resonant out of the up
per sky.
Mrs. Heggan gave coherent answers
to many of the questions and showed
a retentive memory concerning events
Of her early life. She was committed
to the observation ward of the Long
Island State Hospital For the Insane
on Feb. 10 last.
The sheriff's jury found her compe-
tent to manage her affairs, and this ac-
ton will be reported to the higher
court.

Other nations have begun upper air

Germans especially have gone far In
this work, but mainly for scientific

this connection. Already the govern

conditions.

A LOYAL CONSTITUENT.
Experience of One Who Went to See
Senator Tillman.

A loyal constituent of Senator Benja-
min II. Tillman named Swate went to
Washington to see the senator. He
met him just at noon the other day,
says the Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Inter Ocean. The senator
had something to say about President
Roosevelt and was in a hurry.
"Come around to the senatorial gal
lery, Swate," he said, "and I'll get you
q seat there. After l have finished on
the floor I will come out and we'll have
a visit"
The debate ran for two hours. Swate
sat patiently and listened. At the end
of that time he got up and said to the
gallery doorkeeper:
my name is Swate. / am q friend
of Senator Tillman. He brought me
here, and / want to go out and look
around a bit. 1 thought 1 would tell
you so I can get back in"
That's all right" said the doorkeep-
er. but 1 may not be here when you
return. In order to prevent any mis-
take 1 will give you the password, so
you can get your seat again."
Swate's eyes rather popped out at
this.
What's the word 2" he asked.
"Idiosyncrasy."
"What?'
"Idiosyncrasy"
81 guess I'll stay in" said Swate.

Professor Willis l.. Moore's predic-
ton, made a few nights ago in New
York, that it will soon be possible to
forecast weather a month ahead, is
fully concurred in by weather scien-
fists at Washington, says the New
York Globe. They believe the next few
years will witness most remarkable
advances in all lines of meteorology.
In fact, the weather observers hold
1t not impossible that even greater ac-
complishments may be had than those
predicted by Professor Moore and say
the time may come when it will be
possible to interpret the seasonal
weather from year to year in advance.
Now forecasts are made for from
thirty-six to forty-eight hours. The
government has been thirty years in
developing weather observations to
forecast meteorological conditions for
two days and nights ahead. In this
work the United States has reached a
higher perfection than any other coun-
try.
Present forecasts are based on OBJ
servation of surface conditions over
the entire country, Assistant Chief
Williams of the weather bureau eX-
planned Professor Moore and his lieu
tenants are now branching out into a
new field This is the exploration of
the upper air or the atmosphere envel-
oping the earth up to height of what
is known as the ten mile level.
By study of upper air conditions, use
of the wireless telegraph for transmit
ting facts as to both surface and upper
air conditions at sea and by q system
of cooperation with other countries it
is believed weather science can be de-
yeloped to a degree that seems almost
beyond belief. Already the govern
ment has taken preliminary steps to
study the upper air. Three years ago a
at Mount Weather, Virginia, in high
altitude well suited for meteorological
observations.
Most of the buildings are now up
and apparatus ready, and this summer
extensive work is planned In atmos-
pheric research. By means of balloons
and kites foated to great attitudes and
delicate recording apparatus the tenn
perature, moisture, pressure, direction
and velocity of the air at dizzy heights
will be ascertained.
Magnetic observations will be taken
also. The absorption of the suns heat
by the atmosphere will be measured,
and. more remarkable still, analysis of
