atoms April IL and Amer
lean League April Ia.
CHICAGO VS.. CINCINNATI
LOCAL RIOTERS INTERESTED IN
ATTRACTION AT PoRkoPoLIs
HAVE FINE AGGREGATION.

The opening games in the National
League will be played on next Thurs
day. The Eastern teams will open in
the East and the Western clubs in
the West, the schedule of games for
the first series being as follows: Bos-
ton at Brooklyn, New York at Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg at st. Louis and
Chicago at Cincinnati. The race this
season for the pennant at this stage
looks to be between Chicago, Pitts
burg and New York. with the odds
favoring the latter team on account
OF its great staff of twirlers. Manager
McGraw looks upon Matthewson to
perform even greater deeds than he
did last season and If such is the case
there is not much doubt as to where
the flag will fly at the end of the
schedule. President Murphy has ad-
ded strength to his team at all of the
weak corners and judging from what
all his pitchers did last season
he has ALSO d lOIlliudDlc array VI
box artists. Pittsburg has added a
number of new men to the team this
spring and the Pirates look to be in
better shape than last season. New
York has the same in and out-fields,
but a number of young twirlers have
been added to the list. The other
teams of the league are all dark hor-
ses. Cincinnati does not look to be
much stronger than last season. as
is also the case with Philadelphia.
st. Louis, judging from the trimming
that the Cardinals received at the
hands of the Browns, have an anchor
on the cellar championship unless
Brooklyn repeats. Boston is an I'M
known quantity this year and does
not look to have the edge on any of
the other teams rated for the second
division.

jACKSON'S FINE SHOWING
Former Richmond Boy In Box For
Yale Shows up the New York
National League Champions.

Fielding Jackson of Chicago, for
merly of Richmond, the star pitcher
of the Yale team gives promise of
having a better season this year than
he did last, If his slab work Saturday
against the New York National Lea
que team, champions of the world,
can be taken as criterion. Jackson
was in the box for three innings and
in that time not a run was scored by
the Giants and only two hits were
made off his whirlwind delivery.
This record is regarded as wonderful
because Friday it was reported that
Jackson was suffering from a sore
arm. Yale is depending upon him again
to capture the eastern college cham
pionship for her.

Lessons For Schoolboys.

There is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators of the hangings of criminals.
Sir Walter Scott has borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland. In '"The Heart Of Midlo-
THAN" Mr.. Saddletree is represented
as saying:
promised to ask a half play day to the
schulz so that the BARNS might gang and
see the hanging. which Gamma but have a

sumo, have written the above had he

Mecca, at the season Of the annual

thus described in Everybody's in with

from the narrative of Ibu Jubayr Ali
Of Bandar Adas:
Like a gigantic catafalque, somber.
shrouded in mystery, the Kaaba rises
out of the seething sea Of white CARRIED
humanity that crowds the great sacred
square Of Mecca. Its door is covered
with plates of solid silver studded with
silver nails. From the exterior Of the
roof, above a stone marking the sep
ulcher of Ishmael, which lies at the
base Of the northern wall, there pro-
jects n horizontal, semicircular rain
spout five yards long, twenty-four inch
es wide, made Of massive gold. With
in the roof is supported by three col
umns Of aloe wood; the walls are hung
with red velvet alternating with white
squares in which are written in Arabic
the words, Enthusiastically cPraise
to God, the Almighty. The building is
packed with pilgrims, praying, weep
ing, eside themselves in an ecstasy
of passionate devotion. Mingled with
their voices there rises from outside the
chant of the Talbih. the song of the
winding sheet, which every pilgrim
must sing on entering Mecca, on don
ming the sacred hiram. on entering the
Haram, and on starting for Nina, the
valley of desire, and Arafat, the noun

Great In His Line.

Mr.. Robert Barr once showed a por-
trait of Mark Twain to a silk merchant
Of Lyons. TELL me who that is" Mr..
Barr said. The merchant gazed at the
portrait and answered, II should say
he was a statesman" "Supposing you
wrong in that, what would be your
next guess? 2" asked Mr.. Barr "If he
is not a maker Of history he is perhaps
a writer of it; a great historian, prob
ably. OF course it is impossible for me
to guess accurately except by accident,
but 1 use the adjective great because
1 am convinced this man is great in his
line, whatever 1t is. If he makes silk,
he makes the best" Mr.. Barr told the

resented and said, "You have summed

The Sea otter.

The sea otter is nearly twice the size
Of the common river otter, and the fur,
without finishing or preparation Of any
kind, is more beautiful as it is stripped
from the animal than the richest seal
skin, which has to be scraped, plucked
Of the long upper hairs and then dyed
before it could be recognized as the
beautiful object which the finished fur
undoubtedly is. In the sea otter's fur
the soft undercoat, the true fur, is as
thick as that of the seal and nearly
twice as long. while the long outer
hairs are as soft as sable's tail and
often a pale gray, which gives to the
whole coat an appearance as Of dark
fur slightly frosted over.

Leaders in the Senate will
Speak This Week on Rate
Legislation Bill.
A BATTLE OF LAWYERS
MEN WELL VERSED ON coNSTITU-
TiONAL LAW WILL ARGUE IN
TERLoCUTARY FEATURE OF
MEASURE.
Publishers Press1

Washington, April S.-Big oratorical
guns will thunder the coming week in
the senate over the question of rail-
way rate regulation.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, the minority
leader, will on Tuesday, reply to the
recent legal criticisms of his court re-
striction idea by Mr.. Spooner of Wis
consin, and Mr.. Knox, of Pennsylva-
MIA.
1t will be the greatest battle of con-
stitutional lawyers the upper branch
of congress has experienced in many
years. for the Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
vania senators will give as we'll as
take.
The question involved is the nut of
the entire rate quescion-that of per-
hitting or denying to the courts the
right to set aside by interlocutary de-
cree the rate fixed by the commission.
The conservatives headed by Sena-
tors Aldrich, Spooner, Foraker and
Knox declared that any attempt to re-
strict the courts would be unconstitu-
tional.
Minority's Contention.
The Texas senator and Mr.. Tillman,
in charge of the rate bill, lead divid-
ed minority in the opinion that con-
gress can limit the powers of inferior
federal courts. inasmuch as it created
them. They demand that the rate
bill to be passed by the senate, shall
prohibit such court from setting aside
the commissions rate. except on the
showing that it is confiscatory in
character. Their contention is that
federal judge could always be secured
to enjoin the enforcement of the COM
missions rate and that If their powers
were not restricted, the grant of the
rate fixing power to the interstate
commerce commission, would be prac-
tically a nullity.
Mr.. Bailey has not taken kindly to
the ridiculing of his position. Whether
his position is the proper one to adopt
is one question, he says, but that it is
unconstitutional is a different matter
in his sight.
1t will be a fight of legal giants to
maintain their prestige. 1t will in
volve all the leaders on both sides of
the chamber.

HEARST.

Of Hearst it may be said that his defeat for governor of New York state-is not so much to be regretted is the fact of his political aspirations. Successful newspaper men are rarely successful candidates for office, and it is well that it is so For news paper man to become important in the affairs of the country the people must ap- confidence his power for good or evil is gone He is a candidate for public favor every day of his life and is not nearly apt to forget the source of his power as the holder of a political office is. He is truly a public servant. and is directly accountable to the people; but the scope of his influence is broader and his opportunities for doing good infinitely greater than those of the highest official in the land.
 Perhaps Hearst himself does not realize to what degree, through his papers, he has impressed his ideals on the great body of the people. To him the questionable virtue of humility has never appealed, and more than any other man he has encouraged a high standard of living for those who work. His has been the doctrine that it is true economy aad not waste, for all classes of people to enjoy the good things of life. He is an educator of the masses. and his teach ings are SO liberal as to be thought danger ous by some.
 Hearst the political aspirant-no matter if he should get to he president which is scarcely supposable,-will never have the the newspaper man has had.
