to the same effect, their letters varying
only in detail.

SCHULTZ LANDS
BEHIND The BARS
Is Charged with Jumping
His Board Bill.
prisonerfSays He Was Not Expect
ed to Pay For His Board
anj Room.

p. r., Schultz, whose arrest was
caused by George w. Scotford, OF
Silver street, on a charge of skip
ping board bill, claims that Scot
ford picked him up at a revival
meeting, took him home with him to
live and turned upon him because he
could not pay his bill
Schultz is a familiar character in
police circles. He has been arrest
ed for petty thefts and has served
a term in the workhouse. Last week
he commenced attending the services
at the City Mission on North State
street. He told his story at one Of
the meetings. Scotford was there,
according to Schultz, and after the
meeting, Scotford took Schultz to
his home to live. Schultz claims that
Scotford gave him the privilege to go
and come as he pleased and it was
understood that he was not to pay
|anything for his board and room
but that when he got position he
was to help furnish the necessaries
for the home.
Schultz was away for a day or two
and Scotford filed the affidavit
against him. A short time later
Schultz went to the Scotford home
and breaking a door removed his
clothes. A charge of housebreakiHg
will be filed against him.
When arraigned by the mayor
Schultz pleaded not guilty. His
hearing will be held tonight at 1890
o'clock in the mayors court.

it looked as though Newark was
down and out, but the southern di-
vision club is very much alive and
with an easy schedule for the re-
mainder of the season still has
great opportunity to capture the cox
eted rag.
While the Champs and the Tip Tops
are fighting il out during the first
part of next week Newark will be
playing Marion and should win con-
secutively while the leaders seesaw
about. During the remaining ten
days of the season Newark must play
eight games with Marion. five on the
home grounds and three in this city.
Newark also has three games at
Mansfield and two with Lancaster
With any kind of consistent play
ing the Molders should take at least
ten of the remaining games which
will put them very close to the first
position.
Youngstown still has four games TO
play with Akron, six with New Castle
and four with Sharon. Akron has
four games with Youngstown, three
with New Castle and four with Shar-

This years American league race
has been a close and exciting one so
far and 1t gives promise of growing
more and more interesting as the sea.
son goes on.
1t has been a disastrous one for
many clubs, however, because Of the
injuries to the star players.
Cleveland has had Stovall alone
playing without injury so far, but even
he was out for a time as the result of
an alteration with Lajoie.
OF all the clubs that have been thus
handicapped by accidents Cleveland
has probably sustained the greatest
Gripping. No team in the league has
a utility player that can go in and fill
Lajoie's shoes, while Clark's absence
hurt the Maps more than littla.
Although the season is but a little
over half over, only 15 of the l50 Amer
lean league players have taken part in
every game played by the club to
which each belongs.
Both Boston teams have suffered.
Not one member of the Boston Ameri-
can league team has played in every
game this season. Among the injured
ones have been Parent, Barrett, Sulli-
van, Ferris, Hoey, Wagner and I'm
glaub.
OF the National players Beaumont,

Drawinu Room.

A curious and regrettable revival of the word draw" in the sense of with draw" occurs in drawing room." Here the original meaning of the word is lost because of its lamentable pronun~ ciation by the uneducated. Nobody. hearing 1t mentioned as "droying room'' at its best or as "droring room" at its worst,' would suspect it of being a room to which to withdraw for relax ation. Most words of the kind, though. have no better claim to our admiration, and many have worse one to our sense of language. "Parlor' is an ugly growth from the old monasterial ''par- loir,' or room where speaking was al' lowed, and "boudoir," that early Victo- rian expression of gentility, began by being room to sulk in. Sitting room' is a strange instance of the confusion of cause and effect. and so is 'living room:" We come back to drawing room" as to honest words. at least London Notes and Queries.
