REPAIRS AT PARK
 ABOUT COMPLETE
FORCE OF CARPENTERS WHICH HAS BEEN AT WORK WILL BE DISCHARGED THIS WEEk-RE- PAIRING DIAMOND.

The force of carpenters which has been at work at the baseball park week or more will complete it's labors today. in the opinion of Manager Vaughan, and will be discharged. All repairs to the grand- stand and other buildings have been made. and the changes mentioned sometime ago as decided upon have been completed.
 Nothing more will remain for the car penters to do" said the big manager yes- terday. ''The right field fence has been moved in to prevent it from toppling over because of the encroachment of the creek in that part of the park. The office has been located in different place and ad- dtional space afforded it's interior. Best of all, however, the new exit has been opened up at the far end of the smoker so that persons may pass out before the game is completed without disturbing other spectators or interfering with their view of the park.
 Daddy Cook is hard at work on the diamond and Is fast getting 1t into ex- cellent condition. He is continually raking and pounding it, and it is already in good shape Lots of sand has been dumped into the diamond to raise it's level, so that the drainage will be better, and this, with the new drain pipe placed underground, will prevent the park being so badly flooded during and after heavy rains"

 Genius and Dullness.
 Genius has it's strength over dullness' but it Is not ingenlus to get around Ihe monotony of existence unless it be linked with aims beyond it. It is like looking at a picture; you can change the hshls and you change the distances too you try this position, and then you try that' and sometimes it forever appears plurreu' Most good workers have understood the art of waiting, and they have learned what it Is to be persistent; sometimes hero has died in his laboratory peIore his work had been discovered.
 Here, then, is the temptation to crave stimulus, and 1t usually takes the form or a desire for immediate reward. Many hands have fallen down and the work abandoned because there were no signs and wonders from the skies of lie. IT by the movement of the hand men could be transformed or if by like movement things could be transmitted, II would seem that life would be more easily HVed, but 1t is not difficult to see that character would not be made and that capacity for that which is beyond the present would not be created
 The shaping influences around man are precisely the ordinary grind of the upper and neither mill stone of life, and not those supernal lights that fall from suns and stars Results belong to that part of life which, the old Greek philoso- pher Epictetus, said made the half with which he was not concerned. None Of us' in this life, are competent to measure that A mans dying may mean more than his living. Its expedient, according to the teaching of Christ for the mightiest influences to be withdrawn. for weakness can come to strength only by taking away strength and letting weakness stand alone. We do not understand enough Of the articulation of Gods great plan to pass on such matters. That plan is made up of myriads of minute parts, wheels revolving in wheels, each having its appropriate function, and with mo- tions that are retrogade as well as mo- tions that are progressive; with action and with reaction. This makes the great plan of God with men playing on the human stage
 In the hereafter is the gathering up time and the expounding time. Then the little takes 1t place along side of the large; after that there Is nothing any more relative It will be plain then what is in shadow now Then the honest effort, however humble, the cup of cold water and the crust of bread which none knew except the hand from which 1t fell; all toll. high or low, will be made one in the mighty scheme of Him who co-la- bored with men in the bringing of the invisible kingdom through the training here in the visible
 It is not then, in the appeal to the heavens for the manifestation for the di- vine but the finding of the track of the Father in the shop, and in the mill and at the ledger, and in the profession, and on the street, and in the place of squalor, and of want. that we find the best testi- mony of the existence of Him who is able to make alive forever more

Chicago. February --(Special)-William L. Curtis sends the following dispatch from Washington to the Reeord-Her- ald
 Jacob Riis may seek notoriety by pro- claiming a third term for the President, and other idolaters may hope and pray for such thing, but Theodore Roosevelt will not be betrayed or become entangled by his fool friends His destiny Is marked out for him. and when he has finished his presidential term he hopes to get a job at the other end of the avenue.
 In the meantime he intends if possible to travel and do a little shooting. lie saw a good deal of Europe, and went as far as Constantinople during his college days, but that was a good while ago. and things have changed since. He has great desire to go around the world. He wants to visit India, China and Japan and the Philippine Islands have irresistible at fractions for him. If he could be spared tomorrow he would start for Manila ana have Leonard Wood ready to meet nlm with d couple of guns and horses on his arrival for a plunge Into the primeval forest. He can think of nothing that he would enjoy more, and talks about It continually with his intimate friends But that would be only a diversion; he could not find steady employment as hunter and traveller, and his ambition rests upon a seat in the United States Senate.
 There has been some talk of making him president of Harvard college, and if you will make inquiries at Cambridge you will bn qid ter as good as settled. Down there they will tell you that although President Eliot is old and weary, he intends to hang on until the end of RooseVelts term and keep the presidential chair warm for him. But, although d scholar by instinct ana devoted to the welfare of his alma mater Colonel Roosevelt does not feel fitted Tor such a position. It does not suit his taste. He wants a more active life, and likes politics better than any other occupa- ton.

shocked because it was suggested that instead of a day of fasting as a safeguard against an epidemic of cholera, that an intelligent observance of sanitary laws was better. and that the time be spent in cleaning that otherwise would have been spent in fasting, which teaches that God is as near when we observe his laws as he could possibly be when he is supposed to intervene by direct interven- tion, and that through the sunshine and the shower, the coming and the going of the seasons. we receive our daily bread just as literally as though 1t were handed to us directly from our Fathers hand.
 If we descend from this broader plane of the working of God in the world of things to his work among his intelligent creatures, 1t may be observed that char acter is nightly affected by whether man believes that about his life there is this wreat plan and purpose, as large as a world, and as small as the individual, or not And this depends, not upon an ap- peal to the extraordinary, which. with so many finds it's verfcation in the emo

NEWSPAPER LAW.

l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to continue SUBJ
scriptions.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them I'M
til all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
20 take their periodicals from post
office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former directions, they are held re-
sponsible.
S. The courts have decided that
the refusing to take periodicals from
postoffice, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
dence of International fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to the
publishers, at the end of their time,
if they do not wish to continue it
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it, the subscriber will be re-
sponsible until an express notice with
payment of arrearages is sent to the
publisher.
T. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes a paper
and refuses to pay for It. Under this
