The following is a list of the cities
where the various big league clubs
are training this spring:
National League-New York,
Memphis, Tenn; Pittsburg, Hot
Springs, Ark; Philadelphia, Savan-
nah, Ga. Cincinnati, Marlin, Texas !;
st. Louis, Houston, Texas; Boston,
jacksonville, Fla. Brooklyn, Colum-
bia, $. G.: Chicago, Champaign, Ill.
American League Detroit, Au-
Igusta, Ga; Chicago, New Orleans,
La; Cleveland, Atlanta, Ca; Ath-
letics, Montgomery, Ala; Boston,
Macon, Ca; New York, Birming-
ham, Ala; Washington, Charlottes-
vile, Va; st. Louis, Dallas, Texas.
The Clarksburg team of the p, o.
Ia w. Va. league will train for the
season at Clarksburg, W. Va, con-
trary to general report that they
would go to Wilsonburg and train
on Francis mineral water. The
water will be brought to the players.
The players will all cat three meals
a day, and devote the evenings to
swelling their batting per centage.
Signals are everything in fast
company. The catcher handles
most of them, but. all the infelders
and outfelders talk with signs, and
the pitcher can spell his name with
foot and fingers. The Giants, from
being compelled to. palaver with
Dummy" Taylor, all speak his Ian
guage. Many quick play has been
pulled off thereby.
The Clarksburg team will have an
unique system Of signals. Holding
up one finger will mean s'can / touch
for 81 !; two fingers, So, and three
fingers, So. etc." The president has
adopted these rules, shake of the
head means a negative. And it is
not Photographic negative that can
he 'Ereteuclied."
Wonder how those teams feel
about protection that are already
loaded up with contract jumpers?
The Morris-Harvey college team
will play one or two exhibition games
here with the leaguers. They are
said TO be very fast, and will give
the fans good line on our pennant

phia Giants, 10th colored teams.

one of these teams play is better than
a circus. And with all their kid

After a while there was sonnn Of
distant singing, and soon the boys
came walking in procession, and sing
ing the music that Jim had heard them
learning.
In their choir garments they looked
little like the rough, careless boys Of
the day before. He did not know that
the boy with the beautiful voice, who
was to have sung the solo part, had
suddenly been taken i'll, and that the
organist, in despair, had been obliged
to substitute In his place one Of the
other boys, who was not capable of
filing it, but was the best that the
organist could find on such short no.
tice.
So Jim did not know what to make Of
1t when he saw the boy evidently pre-.
pairing to sing alone. Jim knew each
boys capabilities in a musical way by
this time as well as the organist HIM
self did, and he knew that this boy
could not sing the music properly. The
organist began to play; the boy looked
frightened. 1t was time for him to be
gin; he hesitated and choked. The or
ganist turned partly around. The next
instant voice Of wonderful strength
and sweetness filled the church.
After a single start the organist
played steadily on. He did not know
from whence or whom the heavenly
voice proceeded, but it was God-sent.
Through to the end, without fear or
faltering, glowing and thrilling with
joy and love and devotion. Jim poured
out his soul.
When the last pure tones had died
away, and he realized what he had
done, he would have rushed out If pos
sible, but kindly hands gently detained
him till the service was over, and the
surprise and wonder and admiration
| of the people could find expression.
OF course that was the beginning OF
great change in Jim's life. The
nightingale in his throat could nc
longer be hidden; it had brought tc
him friends and fortune. But in the
future years people liked to tell the
story of his first public appearance.

Easter Sunday.

Easter is unique among the worlds
festival periods in having its origin
claimed by many nations and races.
The English name of the day is de-
rived from that OF the Teutonic God
dess of SPRING. stera, whose name
signified THE Arisen," a mythical be-
ing who was worshiped before Chris
family was thought of.
The DruiGs, who seem to have been
the only religious sect in Britain be-
fore the Roman conquest, Leld yearly
"a spring celebration in honor Of the
vegetable world, and religious rites
were part CT the ceremony.
Similar observances were general
among the older Aslatlc races, and the
Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans. as
well as the Teutonic tribes Of Europe
in pre-Christian times.

aim a good hot supper and a nights
lodging.
He turned and sauntered along,
Crossing street after street, till he had
wandered into section of the city
where he very rarely came, most
prosperous section, judging from the
fine broad avenue.
Jim was cold by this time, and
thought that he would retrace his
steps, when his attention was attracted
by the sound Of music 1t came from
church close by, the door of which
stood invitingly open. 1t looked nice
and warm inside; there was no one in
sight. and Jim softly stepped in and
sat down at the back of the church,
which was in seni-darkness-
The only lights were away down at
the other end, where were gathered a
group Of boys about Jim's age. and
man seated at an organ. Soon the
man began to play and the boys to
sing. Now one would hardly have
guessed on seeing Jim that he was
musician himself, but he had great
reputation among his friends. who
were sure that not one of the famous
singers Of the day had voice that
could compare in sweetness with Jim's.
Jim was Interested at once when he
heard music in tile church. Oh. the
beautiful music! He had never heard
anything like it in his life. 1t made
him almost unhappy at one moment,
and he would rise to go, only it held
him so that he cOuId Onf
But the boysl His establishment rose
as he heard and watched them. The
man was evidently trying to teach
them something; but some were care
less and would not listen, and Others
were stupid and could not learn. Fin
ally the boys became so restless that
the man rose, and closing the organ,
told them all to come the next after
noon; and Immediately there was
wild scramble for the door.
That night Jim would neither play
nor whistle for his friends, to their
great surprise; but the grand. uplift-
ing strains which he had heard that
afternoon still fingered in his ears
The next afternoon, as soon as his
papers were sold, Jim started again
for the church, and the next, and the
next as wen. Every afternoon found
him a quiet unnotlced listener at the
back Of the great church.
The master went over and over the
strains, slowly, carefully ana patiently,
while the boys blundered ana hest
tated. Jim had learned the whole
thing by the second afternoon. and
could have sung every note Of 1t.
Jim was completely out Of patience
swith one boy. He had beautiful part
