PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The long Hghrfor the National and American
League penaanJs, while fairly begun, has not
advanced far enough 10 make any predictions
worth the time 10 evolve them. It can be said,
however that the three local Teams are show
ing enough strength 10 indicate that they win
play leading part in the struggle. As il hap
pens the two Chicago teams which won the
flags in their respective leagues last year are
leading the van with the Giants and the High
landers second in each case. How long this
standing viii obtain is open 10 question. but it
matters not, SO long as the New York teams
head the list when the season ends. The Giants
have won five and lost two games Their chief
weakness up 10 this time has been i'm batting.
hut an Improvement can be looked for as the
season advances and the men get their eyes on
the ball. The possibilities were shown in the
game with Boston on Saturday when "Cy' Sey-
mour cut loose with five slashing hits and Shan
non and Devlin got three each The team was
shut out by the Superbas in one game however
because the players could not solve the delivery
OF PastoTius. In spite Of strong team, Brook
lyn is bringing up the tail end Of the procession
with one game won and five lost. Three Of the
five games have been lost by one run. and as
was the case last year luck seems 10 be against
the Superbas. The followers Of the nine must
not be discouraged, however The men are play
ing good bail and are sure 70 win fair share OF
their games unless all signs fail

Conditions in Russia.

Alexis Aiadyin, ex-member Of the
Russian Duma and leader Of the La
Dor Group in that body, declared on
his arri-.al here that there will be a
million deaths from starvation in
Russia within the next three months.
Aladyin comes to lecture at Yale
and Harvard and to acquaint the
American people with the conditions
in Russia. His return to Russia will
be governed by the of the pend
ing election through which he may
be sent to the new Duma as the rep
resentative Of the Peasant Party OF
Simbirsk, Volga Province.
Thirty millions of Russian people
are to-day on the verge of starvation"
he said. "In many of the provinces
the crops have been a failure, and
conditions have not improved during
the ear In March, April and May
it is probable that a million people
will die. The Government is alarmed
ove the outlook, and money has been
appropriated for relief. This money
was diverted, and at present there is
an investigation on to discover what
became of the famine funds"

MORMON ARGUES HIS CASE
Senator Shoots Speech in the
United States Senate.
He Never Had But One Wife and She
Lives Now-He is Loyal to
the Constitution.

Washington, D. CT formally
and solemnly aver that in every vote
and action as United States Senator I
shall be governed in the future, as I
have been in the past, only by my
convictions of what is best for the
whole people Of the United States. ]
have neve taken any oath or obliga-
ton, religious or otherwise, which
conflicts in the slightest degree with
my duty as a Senator or as a citizen.
I owe no allegiance to my church or
other organization which in any way
interferes with mysupreme allegiance
in civil affairs to my country-an al
legiance which I freely, fully and
gladly give"
With these words Reed Smoot, Of
Utah, apostle of the Mormon Church,
on the floor of the Senate, concluded
the only speech he has made in that
body in defense Of his right to retain
his seat.
At the outset he explained that the
only reason he had decided to take
the floor on his own behalf was that
there were certain matters that could
be known only to himself, and he felt
that the Senate was entitled to q
frank statement as to his personal
attitude respecting those matters.
First, I desire to state" he said,
"as I have repeatedly heretofore
stated, to the Senate and to the coun-
try, that I am not and never have
been a polygamist. I never have had
but n wife, and she is my present
wife"
Taking up the charge that there
have been polygamous marriages
since the manifesto against them,
Senator Smoot said:
81 have no hesitation in declaring
to- the Senate and to the American
people that, in my opinion, any man
who has married a polygamous wife
since the manifesto should be prose-
cuted, and I care not who the man
might be, or what position he might
hold in the church, he should receive
the punishment pronounced by the
law against his crime"
Senator Smoot then entered into a
discussion of the famous "endowment
OATH" which, 1t has been charged,
disQualifes him for the Office OF Sena-
tor. The Senator declared it was a
purely religious character and not
hostile to this or any other nation.

Wonderful Artesian Wells.

Hot and cold water, direct from
the ground, for irrigation, drinking,
bathing and heating, comprise the
offerings now made by the wonderful
artesian we'll belt of. South Dakota.
Contractors who sank an artesian
we'll for the Northwestern Railroad
at Midland found that the water that
came to the surface with a rush had
a temperature of 1876 degrees. All
that is required is to pipe this water
to the houses where it will be carried
with it's own force to thoroughly heat
the homes. These artesian wells of
South Dakota, now thousands . in
number, have literally made the
State. Of $50 artesian wells over
400 feet deep, sixty-ive are over 1900
feet deep and two $500, or about half
a mile. The majority have sufficient
head to raise the water in open pipes
from 100 to soc feet above the sur
face. The great pressure is used to
furnish power for a variety Of pur-
poses.-The Epitomist. .
