Home.


New Albany, Ind, June 1S.-John
Bishop, who twenty-five years ago dis
appeared from this city and long since
believed to be dead, has made his APP

his family and when in the course of
years he did not return, they conclud-
ed that he was dead. He is the father
of Charles Bishop of this city and
Brooks Bishop of Bedford. While Bis
hop never communicated with his
wife, he learned from the newspaper
of her death few years after his de-
parture, and later married a woman
in st. Louis, where he now lives.

Harvesting to be Late.

The wheat harvest in Wayne county
may be a trifie late as a result of the
backwardness of the summer season.
The continued cool weather has not
been conductive to the maturing of
the wheat and for this reason cutting
will be from one to two weeks later
than usual.

Palladium Special

Indianapolis, June 1S.-A special
dispatch from Washington says that
the Eastern newspapers have a good
deal to say about the fee of $5,204.75,
paid by the New York Life Insurance
company to Senator Beveridge in 1898.
The New York World on Sunday pub
lished an article in which a good deal
is insinuated, but nothing is asserted
positively detrimental to the Indiana
senator.
The World says that Andrew Ham
ilton's bureau of legislative aid was
in full operation at that time, but that
it is not known whether the fee paid
to Senator Beveridge came out of the
yellow Dog" fund. The Worlds in
vestigators in New York were unable
to secure information at the COM
panys Offices as to why the money was
paid.
The senator apparently is not much
concerned. He gave out the following
explanation:

January 1899, and the litigation to
which my fee related was commenced
quite a while before that, was carried
through the local courts and to the
Indiana supreme court, where my
clients won. 1t started in an injunc-
ton proceeding to prevent the COVER
nor of Indiana and the Indiana state
tax board from carrying out an order
of taxation based upon the value of in
surance policies. l was first retained
by John H. Holiday, president of the
Union Trust company of Indianapolis,
who repre- sented the policy holders,
and later by the New York Life. The
$4,000 represented my fee in the case
referred to, the 1904 being compen-
sation for legal services, relating to
some less important litigation in the
local courts of Indianapolis.

HIGHEST SALARIED
BASE BALL PLAYER

Who Is the highest salaried base ball
player IN the world?
That is an interesting question that has
arisen since the report was sent out re-
Gently from Cleveland to the effect that
Napoleon Lajoie had signed contract for
next season at salary known to exceed
that of any player In the National or Amer
lean League.
Just how much Lajoie draws down under
his contract Is not known, but It is about
$500 season, which is within $3.50 OF
what the president of the largest bank in
Germany gets year, and Is more than
many American bankers receive annually.
But the Cleveland claim that Lajoie's sal
AIRY Is the biggest Is denied In other
cities.
Without furnishing the figures to sub
stantiate their assertions. Pittsburg declares
that Fred Clarke receives a higher salary
than that called for In Lajoie's contract
while the New York Nationals maintain
that Johnny McGraw, the scrappy one Is
better paid than the Frenchman, and the
New York Americans would have the
fans" believe that Willie Keeier e paid
close around 5000 per season.
There are other names famous tn base
ball annals to conjure WITH and It 10 de-
clared By their parttaare that s.iey also
draw such princely stipends that they hesi-
tate - make the ngurss public for fear Of
exciting national envy.

PENNSYL VANlA ASSURED
OF CHAMPIONSHIP

PHILADELPHIA, February 19.-By the
victory over Harvard on Saturday night the
University of Pennsylvania basket ball team
is virtually assured of winning the intercol-
legiate championship. The Quaker5 now
have but three more games to play. Two of
THESE are with Cornell and the other with
Yale. Penn has now lost but one game. that
being the first of the season. with Columbia
Harvard and Columbia come next with two
defeats. In order to tie with Harvard and
Columbia the Quakers would have TO lose
one of their remaining three games ard the
Harvard and Columbia teams to win all of
theirs. But as Cornell has not been able to
win game from any of her rivals the
Quakers count easy victories from the
IthacanS and victory also over Yale
The splendid work OF the Quaker FIVE has
insured them the award of the varsity .'l'''
II they capture the championship. Their
fight into the lead has aroused great inter-
est here. as WAS evidenced when there was
an attendance Of more than 800 to see
Harvard defeated. This Is thu first time
that basket ball has ever been a self-sup-
porting sport at Penn. This year the bas-
ket ball team has done better than any
team, with the exception Of foot ball.
