 He said that Alexander had struck him with a gun over the head and had drawn pistol on him. Judge Hargis said they had trouble often and admitted that they are not now on speaking terms although Alexander comes to his room every night and converses with the lawyers. His con- versation with his brother is through q third person.
 Judge Hargis said he did not fully re- member as to having had Henry Free man swear out a warrant charging him ldargis) with the CoclSrill murder, to prevent service in another county Free man was later killed in feud battle
 Before Judge Hargis completed his stes- timony and was excused he denied the truth of the evidence of every witness that had testified against him. and de-. nied having gun in his hand when Goclril was shot He sWore that he did not even go to the window when he heard the shooting, and said he never had taken action in regard to the arrest of any one in connection with the killing of Coekrill

Atlanta, May 17.-Proposed amend. ments to the constitution of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen were un- der consideration at the biennial con vention here today, and the work was incomplete at the afternoon adjourn. ment.

celebrated the national centennial, Arthur Cummings of the Old Star nine of Brook lyn, pitched a curved ball. There ended the big scores, there ended the reign of the batsman, there ended the excitement of the running feature which came down from the rounders which was the grand father of baseball. The pitcher became the king pin of the organization, and thugs were left to depend upon him. Thla6 the catcher was made to take ad- vantage of his position to organize a signal service, and he became the chief factor in the field of generalship. From that a signal service developed the intri- cate system of baseball strategy of to- day.

Baseball is a good thing for boys of all i ages, and sometimes for girls, too for it gives outdoor exercise and outdoor air to
 player and spectator The Duke of Well
 lington boasted that the victory at Water
 loo was won on the cricket fields of Eng
 land, thus declaring his faith in the ex-
 ercse. The Duke of Wellington, nor any
 other soldier in history, has profited more by the science of strategy than has thu player-manager of the American baseball team of today. The baseball nine Is no longer made up of nine individuals upou
 whose several degrees of skill and eT-
 thusiasm the result of the play depends. It Is consummate machine, compact and obedient to a field marshal's will. Base ball to the player Is no longer a sport or
 recreation, 1t Is highly paid occupation | in life, a science In execution and an art l in conception.
 The spectator has changed also He is
 not the erstwhile loyal partisan of the
 home club whose patriotism was too lofty l to admit defeat The man in the grand | stand and the boy at the knot hole to-
 day are students and critics, Quick to l bestow praise when the player of the l home team does what is expected, he is l even quicker to censure if that player l is a whit less than enthusiastically ex- | act in fulfilling the measure required of l him.
 Whether all of these changes are for the | best or not, whether there Is a mixture l of good or bad, and whether they will l progress with time-these are problems for
 each individual fan. Henry Chadwick 1 the octogenarian Father of Baseball, ]" declared at the beginning of this year, as
 he has at the beginning of every year for ] four decades, that the game Is better 1 now than it ever has been, and will be 1 better further on.
 1 Baseball enthusiasm was never higher in the country than during the six days post-season championship contest between
 the two Chicago pennant winning clubs
 last fall. The gate receipts were more than $105000, and the attendance was a hundred thousand Not only was Chiea-
 go baseball mad with it's two champion teams contesting for world honors, but the whole country took an interest in the
 fortunes of the Cubs and the White Sox
 such as had never hefore been manifested. The pennant races are now we'll on In the many leagues and there is no doubt but that the records this year will
 eclipse the records of all the years that have gone before.

Tying the Spinal Cord.

Modern surgery confesses to no impos-
sibilities. All the old standards of per-
Torrance have been swept away by in
trepid experimenters. and today no case
is pronounced hopeless until death has
actually ensued. In the realm of organic
disease such marvels of cure and removal
have been accomplished that the word
operation" no longer suggests the ex-
tremity of the case 1t signifies The ordi-
nary course of procedure. few ailments

are being continually attacked, and the
belief is expressed that eventually they
will yield to treatment and operation.
One of the most remarkable achieve
ments ever scored is just announced in
New York as demonstrated fact. being
no less than the tying together of the
severed ends of the spinal cord. Broken
rertebrae have been heretofore mended
or removed to relieve pressure, and
"backbones" have been tinkered hp after
severe jolts and smashes. No longer the
man with the broken back or the
broken neck" is regarded as beyond
salvation. But when the cord itself has
been sundered science has yielded. until

the cord and was embedded in the bones.
He concluded that the man would die

together spinal cord is cured and will
henceforth be able to move about practi-
cally as well as a normal person.

is assuredly encouragement for the men
and women of great wealth to contribute
richly to the maintenance of the hospi-
tails of the country. They are served to-

Hints for the Hot and Hasty.

Why run for street car in hot weather?
There are other cars. On some lines there
are many of them. Bur even on those lines
that are scantily provided with rolling stock

you want to go in reasonable time. What
II YOU are few minutes late? 1t is better
to be late than to go to the hospital and
let the physicians put cracked Ice on your
head. Why not start in season to catch
the car? Get off little quicker in the
morning and there will be no need to run.
The mornings are cool by comparison and
there is nothing more refreshing than the
air at sevcn-thirty after a hot night I'M
less II is the breeze that comes Just be-
fore thunder storm. The man who shifts
his schedule ahead in summer to avoid the
time pinehes that tempt him to run and
hustle is likely to go through the hot spells
in good shape. rhe man who procrasti-
mates his start and trusts to his speed to
make connections supplies many a news

Another Boss Out of Business.

Boss Brayton of Rhode Island strikes his
flag. He has had enough of the game. That
is to say, in future he will not be as promi-
nent as he has been for long in the political
affairs of the little commonwealth.
Age and physical infirmities have in part
caused this step. The years are telling their
tale. and Gen. Brayton is blind. He found
1t more and more difficult to direct his ma
chine And then criticism of him and his
methods had at last begun to have Itself
feet. He had ruled with a severe hand, and
by means which often were outrageous, and
public sentiment had rebelled. The party
had been injured. So serious was the di-
vision last winter and spring that the leg
islature, with a republican majority, found
1t impossible to elect a successor to Mr.
Wetmore in the United States Senate. The
effort will be repeated next winter. and
maybe, with Gen. Brayton on the retired
list, will succeed.
But is he altogether on the retired list?
We say ordinarily that while there's life
there's hope. So may it be said of the old
politician. While there's life there's activ-
ity. He knows nothing but politics. and
thinks of little else. While he's able to
think. therefore, and is accessible to his
friends, how can he withdraw entirely from
the game? He follows the play from his
easy chair and delights in opportunities to
make suggestions.
Gen. Brayton while actively a boss was
Of the old school. Croker and Platt in New
York, Hugh Mclaughlin in Brooklyn. Quay
in Pennsylvania, Rasin in Baltimore and
Cox in Cincinnati employed similar methods
to achieve results. Men were appraised like
cattle. The boss must be seen" Without
his support nothing could be done. With
his support much was done. and many other
things attempted. His orders were obeyed
implicitly. A lieutenant who attempted
anything for himself was outlawed imme-
diately.
1t will he curious to note how deep an
impression the Brayton brand of politics
has made on Rhode Island He was not the
first man to play the game in practical
way in the state, but none of his predeces-
sors attained his eminence. Will he have
an active successor? Or will the repub-
licans. now that they have shaken him off.
try to pitch their campaigns upon a higher
plane, and rely less upon finesse and Doodle.
and more upon policies intelligently formed
and inteiligently presented for support?

Suicides,

The news columns contain numerous
items recently relating to the act of suicide,
throwing somewhat interesting light upon
this form of fatal folly. In New York on
the Fourth young Italian. while "cele-
brating' by firing off pistol. accidentally
shot his aunt killing her instantly. When
he was assured that she was dead he turned
the weapon upon himself and took his own
life in atonement for his deed In Korea,
where there is a sharp feeling Of resent
ment against Japan, 1t has become the Gus
tom of leading citizens to kill themselves
in public as an act of protest against the
occupation Of their country by the Japanese
One of these demonstra tons occurred the
other day. and. according to reports caused
tremendous sensation because the subject
was parsonage Of prominence. In Bridge
port, Conn.,, the proprietor of a certain
hotel. much favored by suicides as place
of departure from this sphere. has hit upon
a plan to discourage this form of patronage.
He will hereafter serve no gas to his guests,
but will furnish them with candles for
illumination when they retire His hotel,
1t appears, has been headquarters for a So
called suicide club" the members of which
have entered into a compact to end their
lives under certain contingencies.
No circumstances ever arise to Justify
suicide. The act is one of cowardce. and
is inspired by fear or shame, or even re-
venge. No noble motive ever leads to self
destruction. Even the person who thinks
by suicide to relieve. others of a burden is
imposing by that deed a burden heavier
even than that of physical support The
failure in life ta--es his life because he
has miserably surrendered to circumstances
that he should have breasted. The invalid
thinks to end his sufferings by death. The
disappointed in love miserabl mistake the
object Of life, and imagine that further ex-
istence is unbearable that happiness is per-
manently destroyed There is a moral flaw
in the of every suicide.

marks the difference between country
winch has been inhabited by civilized men
only two or three hundred years in the
older sections and only few decades in
the younger portions. and land where, as
an old gardener once said to an American
tourist. the lawns have been brought to
their state of present perfection because
they have been rolled and moved for
thousand years.
John D. Rockefeller has determined to do
something to take away the sting of the
English criticism anent the newness of the
United States. He is building a house up
in the Pocantico Hills. New York. and he
wants it to look old the moment it comes
from the architects hands. He wants no
glittering palace crying aloud its youth to
all beholders He wants something sedate
and settled ancient and restful. If he
could he would import an antique castle
bodily from abroad But this is impossible.
So he does the next best thing. Around
his great estate has for years stretched
stone wall. Time has ornamented the
rocks Of this boundary with moss. The
house is to be constructed of stones taken
from this wall. moss and all. Not flake
of the clinging vegetation is to be disturb
ed The house, planned on lines adopted
by the oil king from his studies abroad is
to rise thus with a solemnity of aspect
which could not otherwise be gained. 1t
will look old before the mortar has set.
Externally. II the present plans avail,
the Rockefeller mansion will be an antique
made to order. Inside it will be strictly of
the present. II will be dream of con-
venience. with every known device for
saving steps and time, for banishing the
darkness and preserving the comfort of the
inmates. 1t will be like putting the works
OF hiSh-power automobile into a Roman
chariot. Perhaps there is something in
congruous in this mingling of the old and
the new, but so long as Mr.. Rockefeller is
satisfied no one else is qualified to protest.
