Neither St. Louis nor Detroit have

some other player. according TO rumors
that are afoat in the West
Jimmy McAleer and Hughey Jennings
realize that one OF the greatest weak

pitching stan, and they consider that
Washington is the one team in the league
which could give a twirler for some other
man.
The matter has been informally preached
10 Cantllon. and while he says he Is at
any time willing to talk trade that
might strengthen the Nationals. he is
unwilling TO part with Patten unless he
gets a really frst-class m1elder or catch
er in return.
So far as backstops are concerned.
neither the Browns nor the Tigers have
anything attractive to offer. St. Louis
has quite a collection Of catchers. but

season has been 10 bolster up that par

A little success for professional base

Whoever gets the notion that the public

Orchards Testimony.

Boise, Idaho, June 9.-The cross examination of Harry Or chard, the star witness for the prosecution in the trial of Will liam D. Haywood, was one of the most severe in the history of Idaho courts.
 For fourteen hours he was piled with questions by attorneys for the defense, but his fortitude was marvellous, and not once did he falter, nor involve himself by evasive answers.
 Orchard, by his own testimony, stands as the slayer of eighteen men, and his cross examination added arson to his long list Of crimes.

Peruvians as Enqineers.

Next to the Romans, the ancient Peruvians were perhaps the most ef- ticient civil engineers. Their roads were marvellous, and one. the highway from Quito into the Chilian dominion, was one of the most remarkable roads the world has ever known.
 It was 20 feet wide and 2.000 miles in length. passing over snow capped mountains, through canyons cut for miles through the solid rock, and across turbulent mountain streams and rivers The feat of constructing this road might well try the skill or our best modern engineers. Sunday Magazine.
