HOW DELANC RESleD.
Ohio Man Never Saw Ret From
 President Grant

Washington Cor. New York lld
 Some of the older menbersSongress were telling stories about theernment printing office and their expeles there.
 Did you ever hear as General Grosvenor, "how former P Printer Palmer told Columbus Delanmust re- sign?"
 Nobody had, and Grosvenontnued.
 Palmer was protege of 0bus De- lano, secretary of the inr under Grant. Delano was the vi5 of some rascals in the general lanfice, and Grant had to ask the old nj resigna- ton.
 "Delano knew the dismiswas com ing, but he determined tlhe would never know of it. He had spending the summer at his home neat. vernon Ohio and one day got ater post marked Long Branch, wheSrant was staying. Delano knew tletter was from Grant and did not n it. He telegraphed Palmer to meim at the Nell House, Columbus. aRhen they got in the room Delano hanPalmer the letter from Grant, saylngRead that don't let me know what iys. l will go out of the room and n l return you tell me what I had br do.'
 "Delano paced up and d the hall q few minutes. When he rned to the room Palmer remarked tit must be mighty nice up in the cou and muci better than life in Waatoh. nal was enough. Delano sent feslshatloi on to Grant. and to his ng day De lano was able to say thab never saw any reouest from Grant his resigna tion."

Boozy Bats.

Among the many bright paragraphs in Ernest Ingersolrs Life of Mammals, re- gently published by the Macmillan com pany, is the following one descriptive or the highly reprehensible ways Of the big oriental fruit-bats, or fying-foxes, so Ia miliar in India, Ceylon and the Malayah region. These bats feed on all sorts of soft fruits except acid ones, such as oranges; are especially fond Of hgs ana euavas; and a destructive pest to orchards and gardens. In some parts of Java, for example, no delicate fruit can he raised except by protecting the trees with nets and fighting off the nightly forays of bands of kalongs. They live and travel in vast companies. roosting by day on chosen trees, where they hang by one hind leg, each protected from the suns glare and from rain, in the closely wrapped mantle of it's wings, and large branches frequently break under the weight At sunset they fly away to their feeding grounds, scattering over Wide area Where fig tree or banana thicket attracts a crowd, the toughest fighting begins over coveted piunder. each one screaming clawing, biting. and struggling to seize something and get away to a secure retreat to enjoy it. There he hangs by one fot, and, grasping the
 
 opposable thumb of the other, he hastily reduces it to humps, with which he stuffs his cheek pouches until they become dis tended like those Of monkey Later he chews and swallows this food at leis- ure At dawn all return to their roosts, and says Tickell hook themselves along the branches. scrambling about hand over hand with some speed, biting each other severely, striking out with the long claws of the thumb, shrieking and cackling without intermisison." No doubt these squabbles are rendered more violent by the disgracefully dissipated habits in which the bats indulge during their noe turnal expeditions, for, according to MT. Francis Day and other observers, they often pass the night drinking the toddy from the chatties in the cocoanut trees, which results either in their returning home in the early morning in a state of extreme and riotous intoxication. or in being found the next day at the foot of the trees, sleeping off the effects of their midnight debauch."

We have just, learned that Garry
Hermann has decided to boom John

League instead Of Pulliam. Bruce is
a clean man, a good sportsman and an
able attorney. But If Puliiam is turn
ed down it means that Hermann is
for rowdy baseball and disorder on the
ball field-things that have been ad-
vocated by Brush and McGraw at the
Polo Grounds until the Respectable ell
ement has turned away.
Pulliam, fearless and on the level
has tried to suppress those evils He
has been firm and game. under the
most trying circumstances. II he is
supplanted il means that McGraw is
the real boss OF the National League,
something be could not do in the

1t Is hard to believe that the veter-
ans, Soden and Conant, of Boston, are
in favor OF McGrawism. for they have
always believed in clean baseball, yet
Brush and Hermann are confident
they can swing them into line because
Soden still has a block of stock in the
New York club. Puliam's crime is a
failure to allow McGrawr 20 bulidoze
