SHOW PLACE FOR TOURISTS.
Presidential Suite in Washington sta
ton Bound to Be Greatly Admired.

The presidential suite in the unio.
railroad station at Washington might
almost be said 10 be monumental in
character and the aim has plainly
been to make 1t one of the show
places Of tourist Mecca.
For all that the state suite in Wash
tngtcn'a new railroad station is mani
fe5t.y designed to be ornamental as
well as useful it may be added that
This presidential suite will fill long
felt want. Conditions at Uncle Sans
seat of government are not, to be sure,
parallel to those in the leading for
eiSn capitals, where ruling sovereigns
are constantly exchanging visits with
one another, and where the arrivals
and departures of royalty result in the
assemblase of great crowds. Never
theless there do arrive at Washington
from time to time distinguished visit
ors bound for the White House, who
must be given an official welcome of
formal character.
Recent presidents have been great
travellers and it has become the Gus
tom to invest with more or less cere-
-iiO-i'ssi lcst VI So lItIT STTlNdIS at ana
departures from the capital. Time was
w,en only the presidents closest per
sonal friends went to the railway sta
tion to see him off on a journey, but of
late years it has been the practice for
all the members of the cabinet and nv
meTous other high officials in the gov
ernment service to be on hand on such
an occasion.
Latte:ly, during the Roosevelt ad
ninistraticl, VI. Jusserand. the French
ambassador. and the late Baron
Sternburg, ambassador of Germany
tbcth close associates of the present
incumbent of the White House,, of
their own accord, joined the presi-
teatial escort On such occasions, and
with the example set it is becoming
customary for foreign ENJOYS at
Washington to seize the opportunity
TO wish the president godspeed, or well
come home.
Under the old conditions such as
semblages had to take place in the
presidents private Car or on the ad-
jacent platform-often TO the accom-
paniment of the incessant din of en-
gines and bells. With the facilities
of the new station the president will
be enabled 10 hold these informal re-
ceptions in comfort.

There on the north side of New

of the world. In Washington the
opening of the Toy shop Is regarded as
the greater event.

Sensible Talk to Girls

ILL.,, recently, which was full Of com
mon sense. Let all girls persue care
fully what Evangelist Sunday says In
a matter OF vital Importance TO them
Anything that wears trousers and
can buy peanuts, ice cream and thea
tire tickets and moonlight drives will
be received, and after a while the ques-

Athletics Defeat Signals

Sunday being an ideal day for base
ball . large crowd was present at eau
th0rn's Hill TO witness the game be
tween the Mexico Athletics and the
Moberly Signals. This was q hard
fought game the local team winning
by q score Of seven TO six.
In the first inning the Athletics
went after Edwards rather savagely,
scoring three runs before the side was
retired, while on the other hand Ever
hart pitched phenomenal ball, for the
tirst three innings be famed eight
men. In the fourth, however the Sig
mails scored and together with the fifth
and sixth the visiting team tailed
i've run But for the poor fielding
on the part Of the Athletics these runs
could have been held down to two.
While the game was q hard fought
one for the Athletics they should
have o in a walk time and again
with men on bases, when bit would
have meant runs, the local team failed
to get them.
The game was not decided till the
ninth inning With q score tie u.
W~illingham whitfield, and Housley who
had taken Edward place on the slab
could not locate the plate, letting
Lakeland walk. Morris then went 70
the bat and placed q liner 10 the lefs.
which would have been good for q.
home run had IL not been for u bad
place Ia the field, which made the bali
bounced straight 10 Schiflngs. Next
TO the bat was Eyerhart who knocked
q grounder 70 Housley, and Lakeland
was forced to third. Kidd was next
TO the bat. With one run needed to
win the game, Kidd was equal to the
occasion. He placed one back Of short
stop just outside OF each Of the tIelders|
on which Morris scored.
The Athletics seemed 70 have PICK
ed up q good pitcher In Eyerhart who,
with q little more experience, will
make a good pitcher. His strikeout
record for the last two games has
been twenty-five.
Cadigan was the only Signal that
could do anything with Everhart's
curves while the Athletics hit Ed
wards and Housley hard.
Larry Bales umpired the game, andI
was fair to both teams.
