country boy, six feet tall, with an arm
OF iron and the confidence of his big
brother
Before Christy Joined the Giants he
pltched for Bucknell college, for semi
professional teams in western Pennsyl-
Vanla and for the Portsmouth team Of
the Virginia league. Then he pitched
few games for the Giants and dfdn't
set the world on fire. Pitching a game
for the professional West New
ork team he was beaten by the Ho-
bOken nine.
Henry Mathewson has had about the
same amount of experience. He has
been pitcher since boyhood. For the
last Two years he n as pitched for semi
professional teams in LeWisburg, Fac
toryville, Scranton and other Pennsyl-
Vanla towns developing as he went
along until now Christy thinks Henry

Giants
In 1901 Christy showed himself from
the beginning of the season to be the
great pitcher he has been ever since.
Things looked dark for the National
league at that time. Then Matty's
great work kept the Giants well up in
the race until July 1, the fans of this

EXPERTS ON COMMISSION.
President to Appoint Railway Men on
Interstate Commerce Board.

Interstate Commerce Board.
washington, Feb 16.-It is highly
probable that if the Hepburn rate regu-
lation bill becomes a law President
Roosevelt will reorganize the commits
sion by introducing into its personnel
number of railroad men of broad eX-
perience. Last winter, while the Esch-
Townsend bill was under consideration,
he was in negotiation with at least two
railroad men of national reputation and
was confident of his ability to persuade
them to accept positions upon the inter-
state commerce commission. He APP
pealed to them upon the ground that
such. acceptance was public duty and
they were very much inclined to yield
to him.
If the president has not changed his
mind in the meantime the execution OF
the provisions of the Hepburn bill Will
be placed in the hands Of men whose
Iifework has adapted them to deal with
the problems that are likely to be sub
Tnifted to the commission. POlt1clanS Oh
the senate however, are preparing TO
foist upon the president creatures OF
their home organizations who want the
Jobs because they offer better ana
more substantial means of livelihood
than they can obtain elsewhere The
president will have to exhibit a great
deal of independence and moral courage
to resist the cIamor of senators who VIII

ENIPORIA NORMAL CELEBRATES.
Governor Hoch Principal Speaker at
FOrty-first Anniversary.

EmpOria, Kan, Feb. 16.-Governor
Hoch was among the guests eff honor
at banquet held at the Kansas State
Normal school on the anniversary of
the opening of the institution which
took place fOrty-one years ago Thurs
day Among the other guests of the
alumni association which gave the
banquet were Mrs. George Plumb, who
attended the school on its opening day,
and Miss Helen Plumb, a sister of the
late Senator p. B. Plumb, who grad
uated in the first class that the school
turned out. The president is Miss
Maude Hamilton. Plates We're laid for
about 100 guests.
Founders day exercises were held in
Albert Taylor hall, the principal part
of which was an address by Governor
HOch. After cOngratulating the foun-
ders of the school, the faculty the
alumni, and the students of the insti-
tuition, the governor told of the impor-
lance of the public schools in this
country. Among other things he said:
This nation OF ours rests upon two
pillars-the church and the public
schools. He who strengthens either
strengthens his nation, and he who
Weakens either, Weakens his nation"
In advice to the coming teachers of
the state he said that what future gen
eratiOns of the country need is to have
impressed upon them the importance
of obedience to the laws of the nation.
at the present time there is scat
tered over the nation" he continued.
IAN appalling disregard of the laws of
the country This not only shows
itself by the jointkeeper and the gam
bier but by men in high places, and
our only hope for high regard for
law is the sch0oIS
Governor Hoch said he understood
/ that the next important thing that the
normal school would ask of the sta tie
would be an appropriation for a gym
nasium and he promised to do all he
could to help the institution which
wanted it.

Ever since Hyomei has been known
its formula has been given to physicians
druggists. and. in fact, to all intelligent
people who could appreciate the true
merit of the combination of healing
gums. oils, and balsams. of which it is
composed.
Many leading physicians endorse
Hyomei and prescribe it for catarrhal
troubles. In fact, quite a few of them
use it themselves to break up a cold and
prevent pneumonia. They regard it as
a natural, yet scientific way of curing
catarrh.
Breathed through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, Hyomei
destroys all catarrhal germs in the air
passages of the throat and nose, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and effectually drives from the
system all traces of catarrhal poison.
No one should confound Hyomei with
the patent medicines that are advertised
as catarrh cures. It is as superior TO
them all as the diamond is more valua-
BILE than cheap glass.

ing of a neat pocket inhaler. a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei costs
