IS A SUCCESS.
Though Strict in Enforcement Or.
ganized Base Ball Makes Good.

Strict in enforcement, organized
baseball is a success. 1t brings the
skillful player to light.
The great west side" breathes more
freely.
The wordy war between the owner
OF the Cubs and the owner of the
Reds is ended.
The deal involving a desired addi-
ton to- the Chicago pitching staff has
been closed not by trading an extra
fielder for the coveted player but by
straight purchase for $1,000.
The account OF the transaction has
a strange sound in a supposed land
of freedom. 1t is reminder OF the
advertisements of a day gone by:
strong, without a blemish. Will prove
a good worker. Is worth $1,000 any
day in the market"
And yet it has been supposed that
slavery was abolished a generation
ago and that traffic in human flesh
was thing of the past in America.
The new pitcher is SLAVE" He
is bound down by rigorous laws. Hs
must play in Chicago or nowhere. If
he does not care to accept the salary
offered by the management of the Cubs
he has an alternative. He may quit
his profession and try something else.
If he attempts to play anywhere else
he will find an iron-bound agreement
barring him.
No club under the protection OF that
agreement will hire him. Ii he seeks
work outside that agreement he will
become an. outlaw He will have
his name placed. upon a blacklist ana
will contaminate every ballp!ayer who
takes part in game in which he
participates.
He must play in Chicago until the
club sells him or gives him his re-
lease as no longer useful.
OF course, there is another side to
the matter. The men who are back
ing organized baseball have invested
large amounts of money in business
which affords opportunity to skilled
players to make far larger wages than
they could expect in any other line of
endeavor. Tricky persons used to
make lot OF trouble.
They signed contracts and then
broke them at will, leaving the club

SUPERSTITTN AMONG
BOWLERS VERY
COMMON Q :
Frequenters Of the Alleys Have
Numerous Fads Crossed
Fingers.

The superstitious bowler is to be
found in every town where they bowl.
There is one bowler in the east who
is about the limit for being super
stitious, and he IS considered one of
the cracks at that. He is a match
bowler and every time he shoots in q
contest the gallery is there to see
about the "hoodoo," writes Frank
Brill, an authority on bowling.
In one of his matches against a
Philadelphia, he went along swim
mingly for the first half of the match.
Then he hit the head pin right in the
nose, but that would not have made
much difference had he not noticed
his Opponent sitting with his fingers
crossed. That started his finish, for
every time he got bad split after
that he accused ibis opponent. of
''crossing his fingers on the shot," and
he was beaten badly even before. the
match was near the end.
In Street Shoes.
There is western bowler, con-
spicuous figure at all the national
tournaments, and who also is in the
front rank in the city championships
at Chicago; who at one time was one
of the most superstitious shooters in
the business. This bowler really be-
gan his good shooting in the national
tournament at Buffalo several years
ago.. and it was here he became in
fected with the microbe. He was
playing in a match outside the tour
nament and appeared attired in street
shoes. He slipped all over the alley,
but hit the pins and won the match
by good rolling. :.
He continued to go along this way.
always shooting with ordinary chicks"
and when asked why he did not wear
bowling shoes, said that he had tried
it in one match and that he was beaten

Turkish child.Women.

Up to the age of IL Turkish girls
are as free and untrammeled as
European children, but with her
twelfth birthday the girl becomes a
woman. She adopts the "tcharchaff,"
and joins that silent sisterhood who
are condemned to see the world dark
ly through veil, without having lost
any of their natural desire to partici-
pate in its gayeties.

Silk from Wood Pulp.

Artificial silk is made from wood
pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex-
cellent, but it is found that many
dresses made from it have been dis
carded because the creases made
when the wearers sit down do not
come out 1t is scarcely possible to
distinguish the real from the artificial
silk, but this defect has proved fatal
for use as dress pieces.

Humane Law Of the Desert.

Humane Law Of the Desert,

tress may flag the limited passenger
trains and compel the train crew to
give them water to drink. The law
makes 1t felony to refuse to comply
with the travellers request.

AMENDMENT TO CITY CHARTER
City Council in Session Tuesday Even.
ing Take Up the Matter and Ap.
point Committees.

At the meeting of the city council
held last evening to consider the mat.
ter of having an amendment made to
the charter of East Grand Forks, IL
full council was in attendance and
about twenty five citizens were pres
ent. The result OF the meeting was
the authorization of City Attorney d.
T. Collins and Attorney F. G. Masse
to draw up the amendment and the ap-
pointment of joint citizens and
council committee to get the matter
before the legislature. This commit
tee Is composed of Aldermen ]. G.
Sherlock, F. Craig and Georg H. Bar
low, F. c. Masse, Hugh Dunley and
H. Harm.
The amendment to the city charter
will be asked so as to make it pos
sible for the city to issue water wor::s
bonds.
The council turned down the petit
ton of Rev. Allen Clark asking that
he might use the council chambers for
the holding of evangilistic services.
The petition was turned, down for
the reason that there ere a number OF
halls in the city that can be used for
such purposes, and the alderman did
not think it would be doing the ,,lare
thing to give the chambers free or
charge.

rest, General Worth was planning a
daring movement for the capture of
the heights above the Bishops Pal
ace. The strength of that position
was so great, and all Its approaches
so carefully guarded, that the only
hope OF success appeared to lie In a
secret and rapid move during the
lquiet hour just preceding the dawn.
Lieutenant. Colonel Childs, with six
companies and two hundred care
fully selected Texas rangers, was
chosen for the dangerous honor of
opening a way to the heights above.
At three o'clock on the morning of
the 22d (September. 1S46), their move
ments eifectually veiled by dense
fog. and the sound of their advance
deadened by the constant patter OF q
cold rain, the little column moved
forward. guided by Saunders and
Meade, who knew the exact location
and character of the narrow path
which they were to follow up the
steep declivity. orders had been is
sued that the strictest silence should
be observed. and without whisper
the men began the difficult ascent,
no man seeing his fellows, so dense
was the blackness of the night. over
| half the ascent had been accomplished
when the ears of the watchful sentl-
nels at the summit caught the SOUND
of tin canteens rafting against the
harness of laboring regulars. IN
stantly the alarm was given, followed
| by the flash Of musketry, which
warned General Worth that his Sec
ret move had been discovered. Al
first no answering shot, ho%+Ter
came from the dark slope, where
regulars and rangers, crouching low
among the rocks and brushwood'
Itoiled steadily upward. Then the
anxious watchers on the SaltilIo road,
General Worth and his detachment,
heard the sharp crack of the Texas
rifles, and knew that the height had
been gained. Reenforcements were
instantly despatched, dragging or
rather lifting behind them a twelve
FOUNDER howitzer. They reached the
summit to find the works in the pos
session of Colonel Childs. The Mex
leans had stubbornly held their posi-
ton until the storming party had
mounted the breastworks with fixed
lbayonets, when panic-stricken, they
fed precipitately to the shelter OF
the Bishops Palace.

Excludes Draushts.

Fresh-air cranks, who believe in
having an abundance Of fresh air dur.
Ing the sleeping hours, will find the
ventilating canopy of interest. The
problem OF properly Ventilating a
room to allow the admission of all
the fresh air possible Is often hard TO
solve, as It is invariably impossible to
prevent draughts, which naturally
must be avoided. By the use OF the
ventilating canopy, the sleeper is per-
fectly safe from draughts, It being
even possible to place the bed in front
OF the open window. The framework
OF the canopy is secured firmly to tho
head of the bed, the covering being
placed over all portions but the front.
The head and upper portion or the
body are thus protected from all
draughts, the fresh air, nevertheless,
having full egress In front.
