Don't try to switch OFF on any tan

why a fly wants to get into the house.

human beings he takes to the horse

CANAL ROUTE
D. & c. Commission Said to
Favor Aid For Old
Waterway
NO ACTION THIS SESSION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Interest in the
forthcoming report Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Commission is lessened
because It is known there will be no rec
ognition of the project at the present ses-
sion Of Congress. The report Will go to
Congress on Monday. AS forecast. the
report is said to favor development Of the
present canal in preference to the sassa-
fras route across the Maryland-Delaware
peninsula.
Burton to Decide
The fate Of the report on reaching Con-
gress has been the subject OF much dis
cussion. Friends of the project want it
referred to the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee. They are assured il will receive
careful study from Mr.. Burton, and, as
az Is believed to be meritorious improve
ment little doubt is felt that ultimately
it would be the subject of adequate ap-
preparation The alternativeis to have the
report submitted to the Committee on
Railways and Canals. Representative
Smith, Of Maryland, is on this committee,
It happens, and as the present route is
recommended, while Mr.. Smith is an adj
vocate Of the Sassafras route, it Is feared
the project would come to grief. IL APP.
peared TO be well understood that Mr..
Burton was to decide the fate OF the
canal
The commission headed by General
Agnus Of Baltimore, will pay formal VS.
its on Monday to the Secretary Of War
and the President. Later General Agnus
will meet a number Of Representatives in
an effort to interest them in the canal
While there is no possibility that the
canal will be taken up by this Congress.
General Agnus is going to work at once.
and will keep at it until acton is secured.
Loeb's Action Criticized
The fact that the main features Of the
report are already known and the Sec
rotary Loeb has ordered the report given
to the newspapers for publication Mon
day morning, has caused much surprise
in both houses, inasmuch as Congress Will
not get the report until Monday after
noon. The members say Mr.. Loeb has no
business to interfere in the matter as the
resolution under which the canal COM
mission was created provided that the re-
port must sc. to Congress FIRST.

Madame JocOby Concert company
Madame Jocoby is one of the principle
grand opera singers of the MetropoIf-
tan Opera house in New York ana
sings the title roles assigned to the
contralto, in all of the great operas.
She is one of the leao1ng conlral.9s
of the country and always demands
high prices. The course embraces TWO
other concerts on a h1gh order anu
more expensive than are ordinarily
found on a Lyceum course. These are
the concerts of the Royal hungarian
orchestra, a two hundred and fifty
dollar attraction, and the GYPSY
chorus, composed of eight young Ia
dies. also a two hundred and fifty dol
lar attraction. Besides these three
concerts the course embraces a con-
cert nv the Kansas University Glee
club and the Dixie Jubilee singers.
It contains also a lecture by senator

Fletcher. of unusual popularity on the
vceum platform; Prof. w. j. Clarke,
a scientific lecturer, who gives some OF
the most wonderful experiments IN
electricity known to the sclentlnc
world; Alton Packard, one OF the most
distin e,1ished entertainers; and Durno,
uncomfortable magician, who was on
the course three years ago and proved
TO he one of the most popular attrac-
tions on the course
The tickets for the entire course
will he sold for $3.50 including a re-
served seat A new method will be
adopted in selecting the reserved seats
so as to avoid some slight inconven-
fence that has heretofore occurred by
reason of duplicate tickets for the
same seats being issued. A special set
of tickets will be printed from the
chart of the house giving the exact
location of each seat. These are
printed with an automatic machine by
use of which itSis almost Impossible TO
make errors. There are only a few
such machines in the country.
At the closing entertainments last
winter pledges were taken for tickets
for this season and the parties signing
these pledges were assured that they
should have the first opportunity of Sc
lecting the seats. There have been

pledges signed under this arrangement
calling for about 375 seats. The parties
signing these pledges will be notineo
by mail of certain date when they
can go to Stansfeld's and select their
seats. As it is proba BILE that there are
some people who were not present ana
did not hear of this arrangement, VINO
would like to secure seats TINS way
it has been arranged that parties WISH
ing to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity may call at Stansf1elds orus
store and sign these pledges at any
time prior to October l. They can aiso
do the same thing by calling at the
office of Frank H. Foster, room 4s,
Columbian building. The management
feel that they are offering very at
tractive list No profit can be realized
except upon the basis of very large
sale The dates have been arranged SO
that most of the entertainments viii
come on Friday evenings, and will be
on alternate weeks with possibly one
or two exceptions on account of other
engagements of the talent.
The price for admission for the JAG
oby concert alone is worth $loO, and
this concert company will ordinarily
command this price on its entire tour.
The price of this concert for a single
admission will be 80 cents The single
admission prices for all others Will be
20 cents.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ITEMS.

Laporte made his Tooth hit on Au-
gust 80 when he 'vhacked out a
double and triple, with a single
thrown in for good measure.
Moriarity, who was signed as a
utility player has been making good
in every position he has played for
New York, while he has been hitting
hard and timely
Some papers have printed the note
that Hal Chase would be out of the
game all season, but he fooled them,
and the first day he played he stole a
pair of bases.
Old AL Orth is still younger than a
lot of ball players, and the way he is
clouting the ball makes him a candi-
date for an outf1eld position when he
loses the art of pitching winning ball.
For a bunch of hitters that New
York claims to have, they do not
but forty-eight triples and an even
dozen home runs in lis games.
Capt. Bob Ganley is still getting his
bingIes regularly. He has made 121
hits in rs games
Clymer. who is leading the league.
has made ffty-seven hits in forty
Charley Jones averages just a hit a
game, as he has ninety in the same
number of games.
young outfelder, has cracked out
fourteen hits in ten games, among
them a double and three triples
Topsy Hartsel has made ninety-nine
hits in los games.
Seybold the hard hitter of the Ath-
letic team, is able to crack out home
runs, even if he is so large that he
cannot run. He fools them, for he
hits over the fence and saves that
trouble to circle the bases at fast
clip
Harry Davis still leads the league in
4, home runs. with seven. but he has not
added a homer to his string since Au-
gust 5. Is he saving them for the
| worlds championship?
Jimmy Collins has certainly added
strength to the Athletic batting, for he
has made seventy-one hits in sixty
nine games since joining the team.
Oldring has made eighty-seven hits
| in eighty-three games. while Lord
whose place Oldring took. has been
able to make but twenty-seven in
forty-eight games.
The Athletics lead the league in
doubles and home runs. but are way
down in triples, having but thirty-five
| in 116 games.
Unglaub keeps up his good stick
work even after he was relieved of
the management. He has made 116
hits in III games. Among his hits
have been twenty-five doubles, twelve
triples, and a home run.
on the bench? That is a question
many Boston fans would like to have
answered. Parent is hitting at 400;
no other player on the team doing 1t.
Boston was the second team in the
league to make 1000 hits; this they
did August 90.
