hardship on the men of toll. The

counters of the banks, except in

looked upon as only temporary,

brium is secured in financial cen

Thus many mills in the lumber
industry have been compelled
either to temporarily suspend or
curtail their operations. This has
plaialy been in evidence during
the past week. when mill hands

other locality in the expectation
of securing employment.

Communication.

We publish herewith a lette
from Mr.. &. +. Brian, Secretar,
of the State Pension Board, il
regard to the position Capt. C. II
Teal took on pensions during tn,
last session of the Legislature
We have never given the charge
any thought, because it was sc
foreign from the character OF
Capt. Teal, and we feel satisfied
that no one who ever knew Capt,
Teal ever conceived that be
had opposed pensions to the
Confederate veterans. We pub
lish this letter that those who do
not know him personally may not
be caught by such Islander.

Hon. e. III. Teal,
Colfax, La.
Dear Sir: In scanning the pa:
pers some days ago, my attention
was drawn to nm article in the
Winfield Comrade in which it
was stated that you were opposed
to the pensionlng of Ex. Confed-
crate Soldiers. l have a very
lively recollection of my attend
ance at an informal meeting of
the Committee in charge of the
matter during the session, and l
can say such u statement is abso-
lutte opposition to the facts in the
case. The Legislative appropria-
tions were more than four hundred
thousand dollars above the reve-
nues of the State, and the Com
mittee were casting about for
ways and means to reduce the
shotments made. Some member
asked me if the Pension Board
could not get along on one hum
dred and twenty thousand dollars,
my answer was that we could get
along on whatever the State could
give. but asked to make it one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
(even money!. Ithen took q seat
on the sofa in the Governors Of
flee where you were seated. and
we Immediately engaged in con
versation about the Pension Fund
and your last words to me were:
Brian, you may rest easy
about the appropriation for PEN
sions, it shall not be cut one
cent" and it was not cut down
Dne cent. With highest regards,
l am very truly yours,

liked it an when he seen us comm with
the dogs he'd git out'n run, which was
a good fox, an, why, sir, he'd turn out
an run at night ter oblige us.
Il can't make out ef them boys dun hit

GEORGETOWN'S PLANS.
Arranging an Attractive Base Ball
Schedule for Next Season.

Managers Brigham of Harvard and
Spauding of Georgetown met yesterday
and made the final arrangements for the
two base ball games which Harvard will
play on Georgetown field next spring. The
dates selected were the Wednesday and
Saturday after Easter Harvard Will pay
only one other game i'll the south the
coming season and that one with Annap-
oils.
The Georgetown manager is fast COM
pleting d splendid schedule of Easter
week games and only good team and
fair weather are needed to make it a
most successful season. Princeton has
the Monday and Saturday before and
after Easter as usual. Penn has two
games in the same week. Syracuse one
game, Holy Cross is anxious to rake
southern trip and to play here Easter
week, but Manager Spaulding is holding
out for the Decoration day date at
Worcester with good possibility OF get
ting II in return for game in Washing
ton.
The prospects for good nine at George
town are excellent. The pitching staff
of last year Is again available. with
CantWell and Montgomery as the main
stays and Miller and Devine. who Will.
no doubt be stronger than they We're
last season. The most serious loss will be
Mudd, the catcher who has played his
four years in athletics, and Maloney,
the other catcher who has been gradu-
ated. Byrnes is the only man lost to the
intield. There are reported to be several
likely men for the open positions, notably
young Mayock, a brother OF the old
Georgetown pitcher, who Is reputed as
good as his brother, and the Flynn broth
ers in the law school, who were both
varsity men at Holy Cross two years ago.

ture' of its crowds, used to be Louisville.
There was no time for foolng when the
coiOnelS took it into their heads to come
off the bleachers in order to go after an
umpire, and another thing was that the
LouisVillans who held down the bleacher
seats would just as soon mob player of
the visiting team as they would an UNI
pre.
a Louisville crowd in the days when
that city was represented by a National
League club was the most partisan of as
semblases 1t couldn't see any club but its
own; but if it hated one visiting team
worse than another, that club was the
Cleveland aggregation. How those Louis
vile bleacherites did detest the Cleve-
lands, which at that time were composed
of Pat Tebeau. Jack - Connor, McAllis-
ter, Cupid Childs and one or two other
minor Lights in the gentle art of melting
people to riotous proceedings
They were great bottle throwers down
at Louisville, too. They had the st.
Looey" folks beaten to a fizzle when it
came to accuracy.
Honest John Kelly, a prince of UNI
pires in his day, and the man who refereed
used to be an especial target for the colo
nels with their empty TASKS.
Kelly was a tall six-footer, handsomely
made, and would fight any one at any
time. In fact, he would more than meet
one half way, and he was as game a man
as could be found in America.
1t crazed the bottle throwers in Louis
vile the way John stood up under the fire
of bottles they sent in his direction. They
couldn't make the game fellow finch In
the calm, cool manner he had of speaking
he would tel the people what he thought
of them, and would invite any man in the
crowd to fight him in fair stand-up fight
The last time that Kelly ever made the
aforementioned proposition to any one
on the ball field was one day up at Buff
falo, n. Y, where the famous Dude"
Esterbrook was making a great record.
Dude Esterbrook was a handsome,
gentlemanly fellow, and with not the
slightest reputation as a fighter. yet he
to the great surprise of his fellow
players. took the mighty Kelly out behind
the clubhouse and polished John off so
thoroughly and in such Il workma-like
manner that Kelly resigned his posi- % as
a base ball umpire a few days later. He
was 50 proud that he could not stand the
humiliation of d whipping.
