are 10000 Spanish speaking people in
Florida. At Key West we have n
first class school, with faculty of ten
teachers and $40 pupils, Mt least n
quarter of whom are Spanish. Our
schools at Ylor City and Tampa have
30 pupils, all foreigners. At both OF
these places church, Sunday school.

Ignorance, with It's offspring of

FAMOUS BALL PLAYER IS DEAD
"PIceY" WARD, sPokANE's BIG
THIRD BASEMAN, GOES TO HIS
GREAT REWARD.

SPOKANE, Feb. 12.-"Piggy'' Ward
is dead!
This startling announcement comes
as a great and sorrowing surprise to
the veteran ball players many good
friends along the circuit where base
ball is played, and especially in the
Northwest and Spokane, for Piggy
was known as all that is square both
in baseball and private life.
Ward played last as member Of the
Spokane team, when John Barnes ham
died the reins of the local club. He
was then in his prime and many are
the fans in this city who yet remember
his determined clouts of the ball and
his daring baserunning, which on many
occasions turned the tide of defeat into
victory.
For several years Piggy was a
member of the Butte team, where he
guarded the third cushion. Although
past 50 years Of age, he played the
game with as much ginger as charac-
terized his work in younger days. Last
season he played with Montgomery
Ala.
Ward died at Scranton, Pa. He leaves
a widow and three children.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 12.-For the
first time in the history of this state
Lincoln's birthday is generally observ-
ed in the whole state in accordance
with a proclamation issued by Cover
nor Guild. Under the new law tne
governor of the state shall annually
issue a proclamation, setting apart the
18th day Of February as Lincolns
day, and recommending that it be OBJ
served by the people with appropriate
exercises in the public schools and
otherwise. 1t is safe to say that the
day did not pass unobserved in any
school in the state. The Boston
schools made quite celebration of the
day. Addresses on Lincoln were de-
livered before the assembled classes
and there was also singing of patriotic
songs and other features.
Many Republicans and various
patriotic societies will have banquets
in honor of Lincoln's birthday this
evening.

Men Are Getting s2.25 a Day On
Construction Work.
HARTMAN WANTS TO COMPROMISE
Report That He Is Willing to Call Of
Fight With HiII-The Rumor is
Denied.

Some conception Of the extent of the
work being done by the Northern Pa
cific on the north Lank of the Col
umbia river may be gained from the
assertion that 500 men are now engag-
ed in grading and construction ope-
rations.
A quantity of the grade along Cape
Horn is ready for riprapping and there
has been considerable rock work done
Where the material of the river grade
is sand or light soil, it will be held in
place by rip-rapping, which consists
of sloping rock wall to prevent pre-
vailing winds from blowing the sand
away.
The laborers along the road are paid
1925 a day, and are charged $3.50 per
week for board
The men sleep in tents, furnishing
their own bedding, and seem, as a rule
to be content with their surroundings
At Cape Horn a number of men are
running tunnel, and they nave
made considerable showing. The grade
between Cape Horn and Kennewick
follows the river bank about ten feet
above nigh-water mark. The incline is
light, not more than ten feet to the
mile at any point, so that the side
tracks can be built anywhere along
the road.

New German Game For Women.
Schlagen ball is the newest game fol
athletic members Of the fair sex. II
comes from Germany, where it occu.
pies the same position as hockey does
In this country.
At present schlagen ball is very lit.
tie known, and the Battersea Poly
technic is the only place where it is
played. Miss Morse, the instructor in
the gymnasium, introduced the game
believing it would be a welcome change
from hockey.
Schlagen ball is cross between
FOUNDERS and baseball, and as trans
lated the name means "strike BALL.
The players are armed with a wooden
"schlage," some two feet long, with
which they have to strike the ball when
bOwled to them.
The game Is played on an open space
seventy yards long by fifty wide, and
no hits are allowed beyond the bound
airy. There are eight players on each
side, but during actual play only one
of the side which is Gin" is on the field.
although the whole side has to run to
the opposite end Of the field and back
when hit Is made.
Points are scored by runs, catches
and hits. points being scored by their
opponents If one Of the running side
Is hit by the ball before she has crossed
the boundary.
Schlagen ball is a game eminently
suitable for women, as it has all the
excitement without any Of the danger
Of hockey.
