GALLANT SOLDIER ANSWERS
LAST CALL.

After many months of intense
suffering, bravely horne, Capt.
John W. Daniel, shipping clerk
and general manager for Messrs.
Hammond e. Co., lumber dealers,
answered the last summons at
5:30 on Monday afternoon, aged
rs years.
Capt. Daniel was born and
reared near Shakertown, and at
one time was III comfortable, if
not atiiuent circumstances. By
reason of endorsements for
friends, and other untoward cir
cumstances, he lost his patrimony,
and, with a determination to
make his way in the world learned
the business of a railroad engineer,
and followed that avocation, on
the main line of the L. & n. rail-
road, until his health failed.
Previously, however, he had
served as a gallant soldier in the
9th Kentucky Cavalry, L. S. A.,
Col. r. T. Jacob, being mustered
out as Captain.
Capt. Daniel married a widow
lady by the name of Satterwhite,
after his return from the army.
They had no children, but he was
indeed a devoted father to his
step children and cared for them
as tenderly as if they were his
own.
For several years he lived on a
farm near Bridgeport.
After misfortune came to him
he came to this city to reside and
became yardmaster for the big
sawmills Of Messrs. J. G Dudley
Il Bro. Cat this time known as the
Roberts. Pilkington Mills), on the
South Side. Later he was with
Mr.. J. NJ. Wakefield in a similar
capacity. Still later he was with
Messrs. w. J. Hughes d Co., and
finally with Messrs. Hammond q
Co., by whom he was employed
when fatally stricken.
Although knowing that he had
that fatal disease (Bright's) he
stuck to his post of duty, until
within a few days of the end, that
he might assist his stepdaughter
and her children.
Capt. Daniel was first and fore
most Il Christian gentleman,
always especially tender and
polite with ladies and children.
He was a fearless, upright, honest
man, never fearing to do what he
considered right, regardless of
consequences. His word was his
bond. Scrupulously honest and
direct, he had no patience with
corruption, dishonesty, or shady
transactions.
He was Il member Of the Epis-
copal Church. The funeral SER
vices were conducted on Tuesday
afternoon, at D o'clock, from the
residence of Mr.. Bud" Sattor-
white, his stepson, by iRev VIM.
Grove, after which the remains
were laid away III our cemetery
beside his wife.
He leaves one sister Mrs. Mary
F. Green, of Louisville), several
nephews and nieces, and Il large
circ lie Of warmly attached friends
to mourn his death.
A Drawer or truer man never
lived.

had become short and difficult at times,
Short sharp pains about the heart sometimes
accompanied with futtering would make

me. l felt that the trouble was growing

There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more CON-
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis-
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach. kidneys, liver or
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of DR.. Miles Heart Cure, the
great heart and blood tonic, without days
delay.

was made that nasmuch as they Oft
times failed 10 their duties. that Il
might not 'bc a bad idea to do away
with this office entirely and place Levy

Increase Levy Court.
In order to bring about this end &,
has been suggested that am act o. the
Legislature be sought whereby Levy
Courts membership be increased TO
eleven commissioners. one from each
hundred. instead of seven members as
at present.
r. BY this method It is believed by not
a few that each member could be given
the supervision Of roads i'm his hundred
and that IN this manner the needs OF
SAID roads could be made known more
fully to the court
II Is not impossible that should it be
decided to ask for a New Castle county
bond issue OF the Legislature for good
road purposes that a bill such as the
one discussed above. may be introduced
either I'm connection with the bond
measure or Independently OF It.

WAGE ADVANCE.
ALMOST GENERAL
Leading Machine Manufac' :
ursrS Make Hearts OF
Employees Happy

An era Of Industrial prosperity UNI
precedented In the history Of this city
is now i'm full swing, and as a result
the thousands of employees OF the lar
gest and most important establish
ments are rejoicing over the recent IN
crease in wages justified by the volume
of business done by their employers
and granted to them in most cases as
a voluntary tribute to the ability OF
the men and in recognition OF the au-
vanced cost OF living.
Among the firms who have made in
creases in wages during the past few
weeks. and the amount thereof, are as
follows: Pennsylvania Railroad Com
many. 10 per cent; Reading Railway
Company, 10 per cent; Harlan and Hoi-
lingsworth Company. S per cent; Rem
ington Machine Company, 5 to 10 per
cent; Belts Machine Company. per
cent: Hilles and Jones Company, 10 per
cent: Wilmington City Railway Com
pany, 5 per cent. and similar Increases
have been made by many smaller COM
panie..
Those plants which have not increas-
ed the wages Of their employees are,
fortunately. few, and their lack OF con-
sideratlon for their men in this re-
gard Is calling forth many unfavorable
remarks. and in some cases, open
threats OF strikes among their hands.
But. taken all In all, the condition
Of the. worxingman in this can. be re-
garded as very satisfactory, as In most
cases the employers have .demonstrated
a disposition 10 share in their prosper
rs and success. which after att Is

MUST PAY
FULL PRICE. NOW
Pennsylvania Road VIII Not
Sell Coal to Employees at
Cut Rates

Employees Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company will have to pay full
price for their coal after January i
next. Notice has been issued by the
MANAGEMENT that after that time the
eompany will not sell coal to it's en-
ployes at the rate which regular ship
pers pay. As a consequence all en-
ployes will be compelled to purchase
their fuel from retail dealers.
The employees number 10000, but
only about $4,000 are housekeepers.
Heretofore they could buy coal from
the company at the price asked regu-
lar shippers. They then paid the usual
freight rate for delivery at the rail-
road company's nearest yards.
II did noticost much TO have the coal
removed from the car to the consum-
er's bin. and the total cost of the fuel
was estimated to be about 70 cents a
ton less than when purchased from a
retail dealer. Each employe used about
fifteen tons annually, thus saving about
lS11.25 in the cost OF living. Assum-
ing that each Of the employees keeping
house used the same amount OF tuel
the railroad company saved them S675,
O0t.
Those who know say that the action
in regard to the sale Of coal is a fore
cast of the vigorous report the d.
rectors' committee is about to make re-
corning the chages Of discrimination
and favoritism following the recent in
vestigation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. c. Stuart Patterson Is
chairman OF this committee, which
made a preliminary report early in the
year. 1t Is said a second report vii
be made at the meeting Of the boar'
to be held on December 26.

RAILWAYS made it a point while pitching in
| the Big Stick League never to kick on any
umpire's decision.
Chopemout Clancy was in his glory when
arguing with an umpire; Long Arm Leary de-
lighted in hurting his glove at the officials hat
while telling him the name of good eye doc
tor, while Chicago Glenn in cases of extreme
anger had been known to use a hickory bat,
weighted at the end with lead, to add force to
his argument. Sure Eye Simmons had an
oily, persuasive line of talk that melted the
obstinacy of all judges of play who had any
manliness left, and Sawedoff Spotts's fearful
appeals, to Z" Just give us a chance-that's all"
had been known to pull an umpire our way
With such able support you may say that
there was no use for Strike Out Sawyer to
kick. There came a time, though, when
did kick, and it was what | consider the
most unique decision ever given by man in
the world.
1t was drawing toward the close of desper-
ately contested season, when every game
counted. | was standing it well, and old Sure
Eye was depending on me more and more. He
used to say that only a batting slump and the
breaking of Strike Out Sawyer's Arm could
beat him out of the pennant.
We went down to Hittsburg for the last
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-09-16

three games of the series. If we won two OF
the three. neither Httsburg nor Larrup Center
could beat us; and to win those three games
Sure Eye came to me on the morning OF the
first and says:
boy. it's new suit O clothes if we get
this game to-day"
SO | pitched the game and won it, 3 to ?, after
a desperate ten inning struggle, two steals by
Chopemout Clancy and timely walloP by
Long Arm Leary giving us the winning run.
One more hot, dusty, exciting nine innings OF
tumultuous effort, and would capture the
rag we had been striving for for seven months.
Again Sure Eye came to me, this time offer
ing silk hat and cane, pair of patent leather
shoes, and the latest English scarfs, If Il win.
Again strobe forth in my glory, held the hits
burgs to two little singles for eight innings,
while got two runs, and then
There was no fence around the Hittsburg
ball grounds. The out field just stretched
away out for miles onto unbrOken prairie
on the east side of the town. We hadn't
noticed that during that last hot inning
drove of cattle, driven by some COW boys, had
edged up till they were Leggit Ianders,
our left fielder.
| famed the first man. and then two miscues
by the usually reliable Clancy put men on
first and second. | cut down the next batter
on three nice curves, though and the danger
looked to be over.
Smash! The first ball I pitched to Wagon
Tongue Willyums he punched high up in the
air in left field. Under it we saw Leggit's
spikes glistening as he tore back to get under
it, admirably gazing the flight till it should
plump into his waiting hands; when there
rose a shout of warning
\ huge steer had drifted loose from the
bunch of cattle and stood there watching
Leggit's flying hosiery in what seemed to US
dull bovine curiosity.
Leggit gave one last look at the ball, and
then a look at those white, shiny horns. He
stopped. A Hittsburg runner had crossed the
plate. A good throw would still cut down
runner at the plate and win the game. That
was Leggit's thought, and he made dash for
the ball it rolled under the steers fore legs.
Do you think his steershp going
to give up that ballf Not much! He
entered right into the spirit of the game, put
down his head, waved his tail gave kick
with his heels and a below that sent our
hearts down into shoes. And Leggit had
no more chance of getting that ball than he
had that time in Lammtown when a drive
went into hornets nest. Wagon Tongue
Willyums tore over the plate with the win
ming run, and though Sure Eye kicked on the
ground of interference the umpire wouldn't
allow his protest, and it was up to us to win
the last game.
That next morning Sure Eve came in and
sat down on the bed. was sore in body and
mind. He knew | knew what he wanted.

hustled down to breakfast to prepare for
other whirl with the Goddess Fortune.
That last game was whirlwlnd | struck
out nineteen men in the first eight innings,
which was going some, even for me. Not
chance went to the out field
Two errors, however. coupled with my only
base on balls, gave the Hittsburgs in the
eighth, and the lead for we had been able to
do nothing at the bat against the great pitching
of Cyclone Clinch. l struck out in the first
half of the ninth, and then Clancy put
screaming single over third.
Amid cries of encouragement from the
Sluggitt Corners part of the audience, Long
Arm Learv gripped his bat. He a dan
gerous man at all times and the fact that he
hadn't made hit that day didn't worry us.
He was due, and when Leary due he de-
hvered the goods.
Two strikes had come over and then two
balls, before the big fellow got ball he liked.
1t was high out shot that Cyclone Clinch
fortunately put over, and Swat, On line
over the left tielders head that ball streaked,
us all doing a war dance, the audience gum,
and Sure Eye on the verge of ap)pleXy.
What's this? Back Of the left fielder there
looms in view charging toward US that same
steer that lost us the game the day before,
and as we looked we saw him gaze up in the
air at that Oncoming sphere, and then-hor-
rors!-he raises up on his hind legs sticks out
one of those shining horns and the ball sticks
on the point like plum a tootApick
1t was plum for the Hittsburgs, but a lemon
for us. That steer, with a fellow like the one
of the day before, breaks straight for the in
field, and the first thing that strikes his sight
is the flying figure of Chopemout Clancy.
Then followed race the like of which was
never seen before on ball ground, and never
will be seen again. With eyes glistening, tail
waving, nostrils ahame, and that ball stuck
on his horn, that steer came f1ving on like the
lightning's flash. Faster even than our
champion sprinter Clancy he came, and he
caught the flying short stop half way from
home, lifted him in his arms, and tossed him
like a sack of meal twenty feet beyond the
plate The ball, loosened by the blow, fell
to the ground, the Hittsburg catcher picked it
up tagged Clancy, and then tore back for the
plate for which Leary was Logging it, full
