the Way TO WIN
BASE Ball GAMES

If Hughey Jennings puts into
practice some of the things that he
used to do on the old Baltimore
team, the Detroit club will bear
watching around the circuit this
season. In talking of old days he
says: I'VE took advantage of ev-
cry point to win a game. Once
McGraw got base on about the
thinnest thing | ever saw. A pitch
ed ball hit his bat. He at once
pinched his arm and claimed his
base. The umpire was skeptical,
bat McGraw showed his arm. which
of course was red from the pinch
ing. and was given the bag.
"Of course, | succeeded in get

"Christy Mathewson is in old time

season opinion among the fans who
are watching the Giants in their
daily training stunts. The great
twirler has not unloosed his salary

seems to have regained the steam
which he lacked last season owing
to illness. Mathewson says himself
that he never felt better in his life.

Imagination Causes Illness

'Imagination has a good deal to do with some cases of sickness" said a doctor in St. Joseph 8 hospital. "There was a woman who used to come here regularly complaining that she had swallowed pin and that it was stuck in her throat and hurting her dreadful ly. Week after week we assured her that we could find no pin, but still she came. At last We determined to satisfy her, so we told her to open her mouth wide and shut her eyes. Then we placed a pin between a pair of long foreeps and ran it down her throat. After fool ing around a while we drew it out and declared that we had at last succeeded in extrieating the troublesome pin. She got up, declared that she felt better, and went away. I saw her later and she declared that the pain in her throat had entirely disappeared. ''-Philadel- phia Record.

One Man Who Is Two Men

According to the statutory laws of the United States and of Pennsylvania, Antonio Polonio is two men, and he has asked the Lackawanna county court to decide whether he is Antonio Polonio or Antonio Scavazzo or both or neither.
 In 1899 Antonio was naturalized a citizen of the United States and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the poetic name of Polonio. Since then some relatives while delving in the fam fly history, discovered that the family name was Scavazzo.
 When Polonio, or Scavazzo, which ever it is, learned that his real name is Scavazzo he bought property in South Scranton under that name. This prop erty is in different ward than the one in which he lives, and for three years he has been paying taxes on it under both the names of Polonio and Sea- vazzo.-Scranton dispatch to Philadel- phia North American.

PLAY HAS A
FALSE TITLE
1.-THE Mayor of Laughland" Disap-
points and Displeases Audience
at the Grand Opera House.

Disappointment, dissatisfaction
and displeasure were experienced by
those who witnessed the Nixon and
Zimmerman musical comedy "The
Mayor of Laughland" at the grand
opera house Wednesday night in all
but one feature that being the spec
tacular phase of the production.
All attention seems to have been
given to the scenic effects and cos
tuning in this play and the aban-
doned. There was fairly good
chorus in fetching costumes and at
tractiye surroundings but there was
nothing for anybody to do save walk
in and of the stage and at intervals
of about firteen minutes hand out a
prehistoric chestnut. The principal
characters in the play, notably Tom
Waters who takes the leading role,
are all sticks. Their very ordinary
acting is dreadful bore and they
drag the play along quite painfully.
A midget monstrosity does the best
work and that because of his de-
formities.
There isn't the semblance of a
plot which would be excusable IL
there were anything to take its
place but there isn't in "The Mayor
of Laughland" not even snide stunts.
One song with costume chorus,
'The Ghost of Davy JONES'" was so
rotten that not even thumb nail ap-
plause was given it and one or two
faint Kisses were detected from the
house. The third and last acts
consists Of a number of the poorest
attempts at comedy ever made upon
the Grand's stage. The talk is
crude and empty and bunch of
school boys could have made more
fun out of the situation than the al
legged fun makers in the play. There
are great possibilities in the play
and if some good commedians were
put in the leading roles probably it
would not be misnomer for
"Laughland"

Scott and Hubbard.

If United States Senator Nathan
B. scott's boom for the nomination
for President of the United States
keeps ON growing, and 1t is bound to
do so with the endless chain letter
plan, there will arise a fine chance
for the newspapers to boost the can
didacy Of aspirants for his present
job. The Telegram would be pleas
ed to see him President and viii
from this time on do with might and
main all possible to help the move
ment along. In the meantime, how
ever, It can not well confine itself to
that, for Senator SCOTS present
shoes will be to fill in the event he
succeeds Roosevelt. The boom for
the Presidency seems to have taken
on an earnest aspect, and now 1t
may be that there ought to be some
figuring as to who shall succeed
him as senator.
: The Telegram seems to have nam
ed the man and along comes Hon.
Henry G. Davis and seconds the
nomination. The Telegram named
the Honorable W. P. Hubbard, of
Wheeling. Neither Senator Scott
nor Mr.. Hubbard viii hardly be dis
pleased to have the Telegram boost
Senator Scott for the Presidency and
Mr.. Hubbard for the senatorship.
They are both worthy of the honors
mentioned.

1t is a generally accepted belief
that cat will come back unless it

This has Just been demonstrated in
the case of fine Maltese pussy given

which has arrived safely at the home
Of the giver in Ohio more than a
hundred miles away after having
had to cross the Ohio river and
doubtless many other distractions.
Now If the cat had been carried
across the Baltimore street river in
Glen Elk there is no question that
ii would never have returned for
that awful channel is sure death
even to cats. This may serve as a
hint to those who are bothered with
felines that are not wanted, but a
caution to those who may attempt
to get the cat on the other side Of
the channel should be taken with it
for humanity's sake.

OLD SAM BETTEs
IS HEARD FROM
Runs Up Battle Flag and is Engen.
dering Strife and Discord
Among the Denizens.

JAEGER, w. Va, Feb. 2S.. Sam
Belts, better known as the Cow
boy preacher" and who bears the
unenyiable reputation OF a past rec
ord checkered with more colors than
Joseph's coat, seems to now be the
center of attraction at this place.
1t is reported that this same Sam
Belts once upon a time pitched his
tent in the county of Fayette, but
the people of that county refused to
tolerate the character he was acting
and he hastily and uncermoniously
took his departure for a more con-
genial cline.
1t is also reported that he is the
same cowboy preacher" who, while
in Harrison county, became involved
and entangled in a.threatened breach
of promise suit with one of the fair
sex of that county, which gave him
considerable newspaper notoriety.
This time he has run up his battle
flag here, engendering strife and
discord among the peaceable and
quiet citizens, and by his radicalism
is arraying neighbor and friends
against friends and attempting to
SANDER and villify the good citizens
of Mcdowell county.

The Telegram, answering the Fair
mont Times about the removal of
the capital from Charleston to
clarksburg, because of the death of
so many legislators, when they go to
Charleston to serve the people, de-
sires to state that it does not wish
to prolong the session OF the legisla-
ture lest the Charleston death har-
vest may be even greater. II
Charleston will but change its eli
matte conditions the Telegram may
half consent to let the capital be
Charleston for some years to come.
At least, 1t expects to urge no bill
for its removal until the next session
and by that time sentiment will like
ly be SO strong for removal to
Clarksburg that even some of the
Charleston papers will readily agree
that It ought to come here.

What boots it whether Thaw is
crazy now or not? 1t is more to the
point to ascertain whether he was
crazy, when he killed White. That
seems to be the main difference be-
tween Delmas and Jerome. One is
trying to show he was crazy, when
the murder took place. The other
is trying to show he is crazy now.
Delmas pursues the proper course;
Jerome the wrong one. Let Thaw
first be declared guilty or innocent
of the crime, and then will be time
enough to examine his present men
tai condition.
