Then there was Hicks. who was the
regular pitcher of the Freshman nine last
season He came down from Arlington

on the team if matters break even.
There will be some first-class material
ont for places for the next team. ana
il will cause those who had places on
the team last year to hustle to hold
them.
ct is rot always the veteran team
that is the best team. but the team
that shows the best spirit. If the team
of 1905 shows as much spirit as its
predecessor it ought to make very
satisfactory showing Last season the
team pulled out many a game that
seemed lost, by sticking to it and never
giving uD the ship. no matter how blue
the prospects seemed. The men We're
drilled never to lose confidence. but to
play the string out under any and all
conditions.
Again. my aim last season was not
only to teach the game to the best adj
vantage possible. but to make the sea-
son less in drudgery than the one of
the year previous. encouraging the par
Elephants to get as much sport as pos
sible out Of the season and making the
training less rigid
AS usual. We expect to start in the
cage in tie middle of February and
work there until t is possible to get out
on the field. A few games will be play
ed before the Southern trip and on that
trip we shall play two games at An

Cakes and sausaaes In aormany.

Cakes and Sausagss In Germany.
 Germany Is the land of variety in Bausages and cakes" said William George Bruce. When l made my visit to that country recently I took occa- Mon to eat at restaurants in practical Iy every city I came to. am not stretching It a bit when l say that in one restaurant In Dresden there were 200 varieties Of sausages on the bill Of fare.
 "The same holds good of cakes. You enter a restaurant or q bakery In which coffee is served. The ObJiging waiter will set before you a specially designed cake holder on which the several va rletles are placed In convenient tiers, so that you pick out any kind you want without dIsarraugIng the whole.
 There Is another feature of UeStuu- rant customs In Germany that struck me as out of the ordinary. While per haps a dozen cakes are set before you to choose from, you only pay for the exact number you eat. When you are done with your luncheon the walter will count up what Is remaining and charge you for the difference. MI waukee Sentinel.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 2O-Thst a stringent e1cluslon treaty. between Auerlcs and Japan is nsasurably near or realization than the mOs, optimistic administration official could have be- lloyed a few weeks ago iu the judgment Of shs members Of the diplomatic corps. This long ought object is expected to Do attained perhaps as an indirect re- suit of The mobbIng Of the Japanese at Vancouver, B. C., the 7th Oi this month.
 OHiolals here depIors what they view ssa an unfortunate and unwarranted iu- fraction of the treaty rIgh of The Jap aaess, but they do not fail to perceive at once the important bearing that thtI incident will probably have upon the ueTosiatiouB between the sEato depart ment and the Japanese ambassador look ing to the drafting Of a treaty bhat uhaIl limit the incoming Of Japanese coolies instead of allowing the subject to be dealt with in the present loose iasbiou76y the undertaking Ou the part oi the Japanese government 10 with hold passports to parties coming direcr y so the United States.
 The treaty noE in sight is based on the conviction of officials that the Jap ane1s government will now be brought face to lace5uith the fact that as It can not discriminate between Great Britain and America in the matter Of demands for fair treatment for it's subjects, and must by this time be convinced that the problem presented is really 8 radical one, the Ooly solution will lie 10 the formal recognition by Japan Of the right to restrict cOOlis immigration, not only in America but in British Co., lum0ll, Australin,and the other British colonies.
 To take any other view, ]. is pointed Ous here. would mean a breach of the alliance uilh Eugland, of which the Japanese have been % proud and which they regard as SO necessary to the de yslOpmens of their ambitious schemes for the exploitation of the East. For, though ,he British government may and doubtless will apologize for the Vancouver affair and even pay an in- deuulty, 8 ropatltiOo of the incident is believed 10 Oe almoBL certain, unless ghs British government yields to the demands of the Brltlsh Columbians in ths,mattsr of restricting Japanese i'm migration.

LID is ON AT ASTORIA.
"And the Old Town Amt What IL
Used to Be-"

Promptly at 12 o'clock Monday
night the lid was dropped, gambling
in Astoria, games were closed down
and slot machines were turned to the
wall. In fact some of the gamblers
did not open their games today, and
many slot machines were hauled from
the saloons this afternoon.
The order given by the district at
torney applies not only to the regular
gambling games. but to dice and all
card games, whether played for mon
ey or merchandise. The order has
been given that all slot machines must
not only be dismantled hut they must
be removed from view not later than
tomorrow, or they will be confiscat-
ed, The opinion generally expressed
now even by those not opposed to an
open town is that now public
gambling has been shut down, it will
never be permitted to run again in
Astoria.
The gamblers are, of course, "sore''
because the shutdown came just be-
fore the end of the fishing season,
when they expected to reap harvest,
but thus far none of them have
shown any desire to oppose the en-
forcement of the law.
