THE COST OF BASEBALL.
Outlay for the Game Each Year
FOOts Up ST., 100000.

What do Americans spend for
baseball in a season? To fix the sum
at $17,O00,OO0 might seem like an
exaggeration to some people. That
is money enough to buy baseball
tickets for the 21,00O,000 men of
voting age in the country, with
enough left over to allow one-half
of them to see a second game. Yet
this estimate is conservative. 1t does
not cover all the ground. In the
$l7OOO,OO0 are $3,000,OO0 for six
months of baseball by the 16 clubs
in the two great leagues; 100000
600, or Whereabouts, taken by 244
professional mines in minor leagues.
an estimate as near as may be of
the money spent by amateurs and
men and boys who follow the sport
IN thousands of parks and open lots.
The $13, 100000 spent at the gates
of 38 leagues for games by profess
sional clubs covers every large city
and the towns of consequence, with
very few exceptions, from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
Inc IOIdl attendance at the Ma
tional American League games last
year was estimated at 6,136,557 per-
sons, 2,737,793 going to the National
and 3,29S,764 to the American
League games. The 6.136,0OO would
be enough people to populate Greater
New York, Philadelphia and Newark.
n. j. The estimate of receipts for
these two leagues was based by an
authority on baseball on the general
rule that two-thirds of a crowd at a
city game paid so cents and over
and one-third an average of 25 cents.
Adopting these figures the 6,136.557
spectators paid at least S2,356,9O0.
This takes no count of 81 seats. In
the opinion of the same authority
the extra charge of so cents would
in a season bring the receipts up to
at least 100000.

BRYAN'S NEW YORK SUPPORT
The Herald" and The world" Are
Both Helping the Demo-
cratic Candidate.

A New York letter to the Boston
News Bureau says:
The political situation is expected
yet to play its part in the financial
market. Business men close to the
middle states declare that there is a
very strong sentiment in that sec
ton for Bryan, and that his chances
in that locality are good. 1t is the
opinion of many that there is going
to be a race before the thing is over.
'Marse' Henry Watterson of
Louisville, KY, did the biggest stunt
that has ever been done in behalf
of Bryan. He came from Kentucky
into the enemy's country and cap
tured two big metropolitan newspa-
pers for Mr.. Bryan The complete

agOg-but few know the romantic
figure in journalism who did it.
Never before in twelve years of Bry-
anism has Mr.. Bryan had the sup
port of a New York newspaper

are for Hearst always.
This year, through the efforts of
"Marse' Henry Watterson, Bryan
has captured two-in fact, three
of the greatest papers in New York;
the New York Herald, which reaches
the classes, a one-cent paper and a
three-cent paper Nobody seems to
know whether "Marse" Henry used
mint julep, or how he did it, but
everybody knows that Col. Waiter
son has done a big thing. He got
the ear of James Gordon Bennett
and of Joseph Pulitzer.
OF course the Herald takes no
stand editorially but it publishes all
the Bryan news. I'm fact, Mai. Dick

liant editorial staff of the New York

DIVORCE GREATEST INDUSTRY
HAS BROUGHT GREAT PROSPER
ITY TO SOUTH DAKOTA.
Has Made Out of Prairie Towns
Thriving Cities With Big Hotels,
and Handsome Residences.


In the American Magazine for Sep
TENDER George Fitch has an amusing
and instructive article on the work
ing of the divorce laws in South Da-
kota. We clip the following sample
paragraphs:
After Is years of statehood the
manufacture of divorces still remains
South DakOta's greatest and most
profitable industry, outside of her
mining output. 1t brings into the
state more money than her granite
quarrles or any of her manufactures.
1t has made capitalists out of her
lawyers and wealthy men out of her
hOtelkeepers. And lastly, it has
made out of a raw prairie town
called Sioux Falls a thriving little
city with big hotels, handsome resi-
dences, stores filled with Paris i'm
portations, and legal emporiums in
every nook and corner. 1t has made

Sioux Falls is a city of $4,000 in
habitants, situated in Minnehaha
county in the southeastern part of
South Dakota. 1t is the metropolis
| of the half-grown state. 1t has a
hotel that would do credit to a city
three times its size-built to accom-
modate the divorce seekers. 1t has
an eight-stOrX office building in

terprises backed by men who have
made large profits from the separa-

DELUDED THE FARMERS.
Alaskan Wheat Which Yielded 200
Bushels Per Acre,


Farmers who have been reading
recently a story concerning the pos
sibilities of enormous riches from a
new brand of Alaskan wheat yielding
200 bushels per acre need not get
excited. The yarn has been branded
as largely a fake by the agricul-
tural department in Washington.
whose experts have been Investigate
ing the story. Nothing has caused
so much amusement among the ag-
ricultural scientists since the fake
which cropped up several years ago
about the discovery of seedless ap-
plies in Colorado.
According to the 'hot weather"
tale one Abraham Adams of Idaho
found single head of wheat in Alas
ka, brought it back to his ranch in
this country, planted it in the fall of
1904 and obtained seven pounds of
wheat from the one head. In 1906,
1T is recorded, Mr.. Adams obtained
from this wheat yield of 222 bush
els to the acre. The first part of this
statement is accepted as perhaps
true by Acting Secretary of Agricul-
ture Hayes. Planting the grains one
foot apart, he said, it would be pos
sible to grow from one head of wheat
approximately seven pounds; there
would be nothing remarkable in that.
But he declared that no wheat existed
which could produce 200 bushels per
acre; that the maximum of yield in
Minnesota is about 40 bushels, and
in winter wheat regions 60 or Is
bushels per acre.

JAPANESE BEER IN INDIA.

The demand for beer in India eX- ceeds 11OOO,OOO gallons a year. with a tendency toward further increase. Of this quantity 5000, 900 gallons are sup piled by breweres in India and 5000, 900 gallons imported from other coun tries, 93 per cent being supplied by England and only per cent by other countries. During 1905, 4000,000 gal Ions of Japanese beer were imported into India, and the greater part of this amount was sold on trial in and about Calcutta, little being known about Ja- pandse beer in the neighborhood of Bombay. The Japanese consul points out in conclusion that. as Indian mer chants are beginning to direct their at tention to Japanese trade, if Japanese beer were sent to India at low prices, selecting the best quality, it would be possible to extend the market of Ja- panese beer in India.-Exchange.
