CURIOUS LIBEL SUIT DECIDED.
Praise of Surgeons Skill Held to

Be Actionable Sometimes.
A curious libel suit against the
New Orleans Picayune has been with
drawn by the plaintiff after it had
had been appealed to the supreme
court and reversed. The suit was
brought by a physician because the
paper had complimented his skill and
professional devotion in an important
surgical case
The doctor said that the laudatory
article, although written with the
kindest intention, was injurious to
him. as it placed him before the pub
lie in the light of quack, because
reputable medical men never ALLOW
themselves to be advertised before
the public The lower court upheld
the defendants plea that there was no
cause for action, but the supreme
court in remanding the case said:
True, words of praise and congrat-
hlation are not actiOnable. But words
of praise and congratulation may-on
rare occasions fortuhately-lose their
grace and charm and become action
able" The court also said: The

EACH VILLAGE IS A VENICE.
Strange Relic Of Ancient Customs Pre-.

Strange Neiic OF ancient Customs PRE-
valling in a German Forest.
One Of the most interesting regions
in the "old fatherland" is the so-called
"Spreewald," the Forest of the Spree,
situated not far from the German
capital, in the province OF Branden-
burg. Each village is little Venice,
every house little island, and these
islets are connected by bridges suf-
ficiently raised to allow boats to pass
under them.
Most of the houses, with their barns
and stables, rest on piles. and there
is generally a strip of artificial terra
firma either in front or at the rear
of every building. Be- means of these
land strips and of the bridges the
slender land communication is kept
throughout the district, but most OF
the business and amusement is car
ried on through the canals. which not
only form the main highways but
whole region.
1t is on these lagoons that all traf-
fic is conducted in boats during the
period from spring, when the last yes
tiges of frost and ice are disappearing,
until the end of autumn. You see
the letter carrier shoot up and down
the canals, performing his duties in
his frail craft; the police glide leis-
urely along the banks, watching every
thing going on; peasants bring the
products of their toll to the nearest
towns; children go TO and from
school; young mothers, dressed in
their Sunday clothes, are rowed to
church, carrying in their arms a
small, queer-looking bundle from
which two large eyes in tiny face
stare at the stranger in wonderment-

OF Umpire Klein in declaring forfeited to

President Dreyfuss was formally noti-

ana the request that the game be played
over. had been dismissed he supple
ments his decision with a scathing de-
nunciation Of the tactics resOrted to by
the Philadelphia team 10 delay the
game, and says that the umpire erred
IN not declaring the game forfeited
earlier.
Had the game been forfeited before
four and a half innings were played,
thus depriving the Pittsburg club OF its
share of receipts, Pulliam says he would
now assess the Philadelphia club the ex-
1reme penalty of $1,000. but inasmuch as
the trouble did not occur until the eighth
inning and did not interfere with diver
eEion of the receipts on the usual basis,
aha dnawould not be imposed.

Willie Keeler offered to bet the other
night that he hadn't struck out this
season, and that he had two strikes
and three balls called on him oftener
than any other man in the American
League. Whether or not Willie was
romancing 1t IS hard to say, not having
seen all the games in which he has
played. but 1t is a pretty safe bet that
he has struck out less than any man
in the league this year.
Another good bet Is that Keeler has
ngureoa in the scoring of as many runs
any man IN the league. When it
comes to turning a trick to advance a
runner IL is doubtful If the game ever
had better man. His wonderful eye
and ability to find the ball at critical
moments makes him, in the opinion Of
many experts, a more valuable man to
his team than a slugger like Lajoie,

ribly as a pinch hitter in many games

keeler has little tricks like tapping
Texas leaguers over the infields heads
and driving out doubles when he is ex-
pected to bunt that are the quintessence

what he is going TO do puts an infield

confidence The man on the bag knows
