Among the new baseball rules for
this year are: A batsman will be de-
clared out if he changes his position
from one side of the plate to the other
after the pitcher takes his position to
deliver the ball. Heretofore some of
the big league batters have shifted
position and thereby drawn bases on
balls. If the catcher interferes while
the batter is in the act of striking at a
pitched ball, the batter is given first
base.

No one is so independent as the
farmer; he doesn't have to truckle; if
he is insulted he can resent the in
suit without fear of losing trade, and
there is no earthly reason, with the
improved farm machinery he now has
in use why he should not have an
eight-hour day and such leisure for
reading and study as would soon make
him one of the best informed men in
any calling. Why shouldn't the far

Diseases OF the Chest, Throat, Liver
Heart and Blood. and Their Accompanying
Symptoms.

DR.. E. B. Brewer, who has made
regular visits for years, has made it a
business of life time to investigate
and study. He has proved that these
diseases even in the stages considered
beyond the ordinary method of treat
ment, can by rational and mil3
means, he retarded, arrested or per-
manently cured. Few physicians have
the opportunity that DR.. Brewer has
had in investigating and examining
the various forms of this class of
diseases. The fact of his practice be-
ing constantly on the increase, goes
to prove the efficiency of his treat
ment. His reputation and success be-
coming SO extended, the number of
years that he has enjoyed it, his de-
votion TO the pursuits and studies of
his profession, is one Of the strongest
and most competent testimonials
that can be given him.
DR.. Brewers next visit will be at
the Hotel Dixon in this city on Thurs
day, May 30.

Several of the San Francisco banks which have large number of Italian and Swiss customers have inaugu- rated the practice of opening on Sum- day mornings between the hours of 0 and F in order to give workmen who are occupied through the week an opportunity to deposit their saw ings. One of the banks on Montgom- cry street tried the experiment, and it prove,. so successful that other financial institutions in the neighbor- hood have fallen into Line. The chief objection to the practice comes from the bank clerks, who are allotted Sunday duty in rotation.

Europe has been taking some of our new issues quite freely and prom ises to so continue, if these issues prove to be good enough and prof. table enough to overcome foreign pre- judice. says Banker Clews. These operations place us in a much better position to command gold in the open market abroad. There is a strong op- position, particularly in London. against American demands; but American control over the foreign markets is stronger than ever before in our history. and it is pretty cer- tain that when gold is wanted, we shall be found both willing and able to pay the rates demanded. The Bank of England is in an exceptional ly strong position and does not need any addition to it's own gold supplies. and should exert little more than F moral influence against the move ment this way. The outlook. there fore, is that n case of further stringency or distress at this point, We shall be able to secure fair de- gree of relief by drawing gold from tho open markets abroad.

 Then for music there is the "Arrow and the Song." The Day Is Done" 7" The Bridge" and the Lost Chord"
 Have 20-minute sketch of the poet, and if possible procure Longfellow post cards for the invitations.
 It will be interesting to many read. CTS of the department to know that on Saturday afternoons for a couple of hours. the poets home on Brattle street, in Cambridge. Mass, is open to the public.

Goats for Little Girls.

Soft bengalines. velvets. velveteens, velours and cloth are used for little girls coats. When chosen in a dark or neutral color they are more useful.
 Velour with pressed line stripe in gray. biscuit. brown. blue. green or wine color makes a charming coat for @ child Buttons enameled to match the velour give an extremely pretty finish.
 Velvet coats are often trimmed with both lace and fur. but the effect Is a bit elaborate for a little tot. A coat trimmed with collar and cuffs of CT. mine. white fox, chinchilla or beaver is really prettier.
 Swapping, stitching and a bit of hand embroidery are used as trim. ming for many of the little girls coats. Braiding is seen occasionally, but not upon the best models.

 Small metal hatchets in the folds of the napkins are tied with tri-colored ribbon.
 The appetizers to be served first are of highly-seasoned anchoyy paste spread on rounds of toasted bread. Then tomato soup, squares of broiled white fish with tiny potato balls piled up cannon fashion; fillets of turkey with mashed potatoes served in deli cately Drowned balls; creamed onions. orange and celery salad garnished with cheeseballs rolled in grated yolks of hard.boiled eggs; cherry ice with candied cherries on top; cake cut in hatchet form iced with white and dec orated with cherries. Coffee, cheese, waters. The entertainment may con sist of characters from such words as Washington" "Cornwallis." "Dela- ware" Virginia" etc. Pencils and paper may be passed and 20 minutes allowed for seeing how many words may be made out of any of these words. The prizes to be awarded may be a can of cherries picked from the tree afterwards made famous by the illustrious George and his hatchet," and cherry log candy box filled with glaced cherries.

LIVELY FIRE
NEAR M'NAMARA
SMALL RESIDENCE AND CON-
TENTS COMPLETELY DE-
STROYED.

Shortly before 2;3 yesterday after
noon a fire broke out in the home
Of Dixie Robinson on Summit street.
The nremen were on the scene
promptly but owing to the intensel5-
cold weather were unable to get
water for some time, The flames
were somewhat held in check by
water from a small line of hose that
was connected with the pumps in
the Mcnamara mine engine room
As soon as the regular hose got in
operation the fire was drowned out
quickly, not before, however, the
building in which it started as well
as its contents were completely de-
stroyed. During the progress Of the
fire the adjoining small buildings
were threatened. In the absence of
the necessary water a number Of the
spectators together with the iremen
toppled over bodily n of the build
ings most exposed and moved it out
of danger.
