my and ethe maniac will manage the
Intercity base bali team in the North
ern league next summer This agree
ment was reached at meeting Of the
directors Of the team at the Office Of

evening, and there seems 70 be quite gen
eral satisfaction With the choice among
the base bali fans, with whom the
clever short stop Is 4 great fayorite.
Former Manager Daley Of Montpelier,
who on Monday agreed to manage the
Ottawa team, was called before the meet
ing. He stated that while he had agreed
With the Ottawa men. he had been given
Il week III which To withdraw. and he.
therefore, WAS III position to receive
arl offer from the mtereify. The di-
rectors of the latter then offered him the
same salary that he received last year,
whereupoD Mr.. Daley stated that it
would be impossible for him to consider
the proposition, as he had been offered
q much larger amount by Ottawa, in
fact, a salary which he thought the
Intercity directors were not IN q posi-
tion to give. Thanking the directors
for their courtesy, Mr. Daley withdrew.
It is stated that the amount OF money
which Ottawa offers him IL far and away
larger than what No received from the
local team last year, probably some
thing like $500 for the season.
After dismissing the prospect Of hiring
Mr.. Daley, the directors sent for Ar.
Ilniac, who offered 10 manage the team
and play as well for $500, and the ti.
reetoFs accepted. Ia this way the d.
+rectors win save practically the cost of
one player, and valuable one at that,

WE DON'T TREAT CHINESE
IN A FAIR MANNER.
Said Superintendent Of Education Mason
S. Stone in Lecture Before the Phil
Omathian Club and Guests
Last Evening

The PhiIomathians held their annual
educational evening last night In the
vestry Of the Congregational church, the
ladies Of the Philomsthian club having
invited the other women's clubs of the
city, as well az the teachers at Spauld-
ing, Goddard. and few Others. Mason
S. Stone, state superintendent Of educa-
tion, had been invited by the ladies to
give q lecture and bis talk was the
chief feature Of the evening,
Supt Stone took for his subject,
China" He pointed out that the real
character Of the Chinese had been grossly
misrepresented to the people of the
United States. Before be finished speak
ing he had changed the opinion which
nearly every person present had preyi-
ously held concerning the people of that
nation. Mr.. Stone said that the Chinese
as a people were a great deal more bon-
est than the japanese, but that the Chin
csc government was dishonest one,
while the Japanese government was an
honest management cf the affairs Of
that nation. He said that the Japanese
themselves would not employ a Japanese
! in the banks of the country, but that
every official and clerk in those insti-
tutions was Chinese. The American
government, the speaker went on to
say, does not treat the Chinese fairly.
The people Of that nation are ready and
willing to live as we do and only want
the chance to learn.
They are thriating for education, every
one Of them. Even men far beyond
middle life study at every opportunity.
Men of 20 wears are often seen taking
the examinations for government posi-
tions The reason that the American
people are down on the Chinese
whom we see most often in this country
are the very worst 10 be found Most
Of them came from the water front dis
tricts Of the large cities The Chinese
students in the American colleges are
the most brilliant il the school, without
eyception. The speaker cited many pitt
fuI instances OF Chinese trying 70 get
into American colleges.
Supt. Stone has spent 4 great deal Of
time studying the Chinese, japanese and
filipiuos. right among them. Tie claims
that Of the three peoples the Chinese
have vastly superior qualities He adj
vocates that Che American people be
more lsnicnt in their treatment of them.
