Innprovemenfs at Park.

It has been definitely decided that baseball will remain at Athletic Park for the coming season at least, and this week the improvements on the grounds will begin. The outfield fences will be moved back 50 feet, which. with the 20 feet of last summer. will make 70 feet tn all and give the inclosure six acres. The result of this will be to make faster fielding. faster baserun- ming and better ail-round work.
 TO get a home run at Athletic Park this summer q man will not only have to hit the ball a terrific jolt, but he. will have to do some speedy sprinting down the paths and around the diamond to get home before the ball is returned to the infieId.
 A con1modious shed will be b.ifIt on the outside of the grounds at the grandstaud entrance gate so that la dies will not have to stand in the hot sun while waitfng their turn 70 get in side. The press box will be materially enlarged, while an electric pump with shower bath attachment will be put in the players dressing room.
 Ladies season tickets will be- put on sale again. for they have proved to be lnand for them is increasing every year. Tine holder of a ladies ticket is ad- mitted to tie grdndsfand every day there is game and twice week IS admitted free te the grounds.
 An Improvement will also be made in the .transportation facilities to the Park. The sidstrack there will either he lengthened or m extra spur track will be built so that a great many more cars than last summer can be banked after the game.

Teachers Who Can Not Spell.

Cleveland ,I.ea,ler.
 Is the ability to spell correctly be- coming a lost accomplishment? It is not strange, perhaps, that persons wlrose vacations do not require much writing should be ffoored occasionally by words in common use. Bue what shall be said of school teachers who menifest that weakness? A few days ago the $50 schoolteacbers of county in Pennsylvania were subjected to a test in spelling. Only thirteen words were given them. all common words in general use. Only one teacher passed the test successfully The words were auxiliary, Tennessee, beefsteak proceed, supersede, precede picnicking sieve, seize, seige, cylinder. succotash and desiceated.

Special Auditor Cole, who has been at work for the past two weeks on the books of the city officials, has filed his report with Mayor Atkins. The report is a lengthy one and in the various ex- hibfts the exact status of the anatrs of the city are shown. In the report none of the city officials Is severely criticised for the few small errors the Auditor discovered.
 Auditor Cole, in his report compli- ments City Tax Collector w. E. Callen and says: The Tax Collector and his clerk are to be congratulated on the excellent manner in which ths office Is kept"
 An error was found in the books of Chief of Police E. T. Walters, but the error was against the Chief and not against the city. and Chief Walters was instructed to deduct that amount from the receipts of this month in order to keep the books balanced.
 In the office of City Clerk B. F. Toler errors amounting to $23.9O against the city and $9.75 against MT. Toler were discovered. This amounted to a short age of $13.9O, which was made good by Mir. Toler.
 The work of MT. Cole will prove, of great benefit to the city officers. He has inaugurated a new system of book keeping which will result in great good. In the oftce or the Clty Clerh d specially ruled book will be used which will show at glance receipts and dis bursements and the departments to which they are to be charged.
 In the future all of the city officials will turn over their receipts to City Treasurer Shelley and duplicate receipts win be issued. enc of which will be de- posited in the office of the City Clerk
 In his report, MT. Cole makes several recommendations which, no doubt, will be adopted at the next meeting of the City Council
 The report of MT. Cole showed that January 1, the indebtedness of the city was only S14264.32. of which $12.644,sH Is in outstanding notes and $1,61s.S7 l. In current accounts. He found the cas on hand to be s9.45967. This leaves floating debt of .-bout $5,000.
 The splendid financial condition Of the city is source of qualification to the officials Under the present admin istration the floating debt has been greatly reduced. When Mayor Atkins began his administration about two and a half years ago. the floating debt of the city wns In the nelghborhood of $SS,OOe.
