COVALESKIE IN
JOHNSON'S CLASS

PHILADELPHIA. December 19.-There
is going to be a wide scramble for places
on the Philies pitching staff next season.
and Manager Murray has no easy prob
lem ahead of him in wedding out the list
of tWirierS now under contract with the
club. Probably no other club in the Ma
tional League has larger list of pitchers
who have made good and those who
give promise than Philadelphia. and 1t
will be no easy task to select those who
will be carried through the season.
The most promising candidate for a
regular position on the staff is Harry
Covaleskie, the big left-hander who re
turned from the Tri-State League in time
to hurl Il bomb into the camp of the New
York Giants and really decide the pennant
race in the National League. COvaeSkie
pitched three games against the Giants in
the final series of seven between the
Philles and McGraw's team and won all
three of them. Had New York been able
to win one of these three games the cham
piouship flag would have been flying at
the top Of d pole at the Polo Grounds in
stead of keeping company with the world S
championship emblem on the ground of
the Chicago Cubs.
The great work of CovaleSkie i'm the
closing series of last season marks him as
one of the stars of 1909. and the eyes of
the base ball world will be kept on the
giant Pole to see what sort of a figure he
will cut next year. COvaleskie went south
with the Phillies last year. but. showed
such little promise during the spring
training trip in Savannah that he was
not kept long after the team reached
home
Covaleskie will go south with the Phillies
again this spring. and Manager Murray
expects that e will develop into the star
left-hander of the National League. Co
valeskie has size, weight. strength and
speed in his favor. He is young. and since
his success last year is ambitious. This
should help him q lot next year and earn
him "a place among the leading pitchers
n the league. If Covaleskie pitches in
anything like the form he displayed in
the series with New York the Phillies
chances OF winning the pennant in 1909
will be greatly increased.

War has been declared on plush and
cloth coverings of furniture in railroad
cars by the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis. The Society
has passed a resolution authorizing the
managers to take steps to make it uulaw.
full for railroads to use furnishings that
are conclusive to the spread of disease.
1t is pointed out that plush and other
cloth coverings used for seats in cars
gather great deal of germ-laden dust
and endanger the health of passengers,
Just what definite step will be taken to
prevent the use of such coverings on car
seats has not yet been determined, but
the Society intends to push the matter
vigorously.

Our grandmothers used to get lot of old nails
place them in vessel containing vinegar and
allow them to remain until the acetic acid in the
vinegar produced an iron solution. This concoc-
ton was then taken by nearly every member of
the family during the Spring and Fall and it rare
ly ever failed to straightforward benefit the person
taking it. The old way was good but there is a
new way that is far better. Science has discover
ed way to manufacture Iron SO that it can be
dissolved in syrups and ellxirs and given in
definite doses. One OF the best and surest ways
to take Ironis in Rydale's Tonic This remedy
is a combination Of Iron, Quinine and Strychnine
in an Orange Elixir apd combined with other
ingredients that make it very valuable as a blood
and nerve tonic. 1t is without an equal for old

Undue Favoritlsm."

Several years ago it was reported that
Andrew Carnegie had offered to pay $40
900, 900 for the Philippine Islands, pro-
vided he was permitted to assure the
Filipinos that they would be given their
independence.
Chicago Tribute said that the steel mag.
nate "has tried the patience of his friends
severely in some of his late bids for
notoriey." 1t expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Carnegie is constantly posing. and
said, .he has scattered libraries through
out the country, all of which are to be
called for him, and every one of them is
"a contribution to the conscience fund.-
Then the Tribute said: 'Mr. Car.
negie made his money in magnificent
way. but he should never forget that he
made it through the undue favoritism Of
the government of the United States

his favor by the tariff, he was enabled 10

most Of which came out of the pockets of
his countrymen through the operation of
unequal laws. Much has been said Of
the benefit arising to- the workingmen
from the establishment of the Carnegie
works. The bene6cient tariff system per.
mitted the works to survive and flourish,
but there are some people, who have not
forgotten the Homestead strike, nor the
outrageous manner in which the work.

ployers whose brutality has seldom been
exceeded in the history of labor
agitations.'

ported Friday at the semianpual meeting

roads amount to $I9I,5os OF. The meet
ing was held in the Offices of the survey
at Johns Hopkins University.
Mr.. Crosby said that the average cost
per mile throughout the State of the
roads planned by the survey, under the
State Aid law to date, including grading,
draining and bridges Tin one case the
cost of single bridge running as high as
s.. ooo). was $6.7s4.o5. About half Of
this cost was for surfacing. The average
cost figures. he asserted, also included the
high transportationrates Of road materials
on the Eastern Shore, where. in some
cases, the freight bills alone amounted to
three times the actual cost of the material

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The tenth of May has been decided
upon as the final day of the long session
of the sixieth Congress and this means of
course that the legislation which the
President and the Democratic minority
in the House are SO DESTROYS of having
enacted will be abandoned. 1t has been
demonstrated ever since the beginning Of
the session that in legislative things the
Speaker ofthe House, '.Uncle 10 Cannon"
as he is called, is bigger gun than the
President of the United States with the
Republican party at his back. There is
still some hope that paper and wood pulp
will be placed on the free list but the
anxiety of Republicans in Congress with
reference TO any agitation of any question
relating to the tariff may bind for another
year or more the heavy tax on everything
that is made out of paper.

verts. Mr.. Crosby said the apparent high
average cost of sand, clay, mari and
gravel roads was due to the fact that
limited sections of each of such roads
have SO far been built, and then under
abnormal conditions, which required ex-
cessive expenditures for grading and
draining.
1t was pointed out at the meeting that
the Highways division has done much

towns and cities, especially for Baltimore
Specimens of paving brick are submitted

accepted. In addition. the office furnish
ed technical advice to towns contemplate
ing street Improvements. This was done
for Easton, Frederick, Salisbury and

the improvements were made by the
survey. and general supervision of the
work furnished free of charge.
The Chief Engineer discussed in detail
results OF the work of the survey, both
under the general law and under the
State Aid act. and reported that a con
siderable raising of standards for road
work throughout the State had occurred
since the obtaining of actual results on
the roads themselves under the State Aid
law. He further sad that he was aware
that considerable opposition from some
county officials existed against the work
of the survey, and that the opponents had
misrepresented and misstated facts in con-
nection with this work.
