Today the action of the Santa Fe
railway in disseminating II of it's pas

WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
Charged to Saloon by Kane County
Illinois, Grand Jury.

Chicago, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Record-Herald from Geneva, ILL.,,
says:
In it's report to the. circuit court,
the Kane county grand jury said:
'sIn view of the present widespread
agitation upon the saloon question,
this grand jury feels it duty to re-
port that in many cases brought be-
fore us a few drinks of liquor have
preceded the trouble. The expenses

and stenographers, together with the
court expenses which must follow in
order to adequately punish the men

emily flow, in great measure, from the
presence of saloons open to young
men who do not know how to re-
strain themselves.
'sThis grand jury offers no advice,
but desires only to call attention 20
the waste of time and taxes in caring
for petty crime, whose immediate
source seems to be the open saloon.

FOR AN OBJECT LESSON.
General Young Wants Troop Kept
Permanently at Yellowstone.

Washington, Feb. 11.-General S. B.
NJ. Young, Of the army. retired, who
is superintendent of the Yellowstone
National park has recommended that
the garrison at Fort 7 el1owstone be
increased to four troops of cavalry of
100 men each-the increase to be
permanent. General Young wants to
establish two model camps Of one
troop each, one In the Fire Hole
geyser basin and the other at the
Yellowstone lake outlet, the other
two troops to be kept at headquar-
ters for discipline and instruction.
Many visitors in the park during
the tourist season have never seen
United States soldiers in garrison or
camp, and General Young thinks it
desirable to give an object lesson in
this manner that will court respect
and admiration for the regulars He
thinks the enlisted men should re-
main as permanent guard and that
they should receive foreign service
pay.

LIFE ROMANCE
 REPEATED IN SONG

There is real life romance in "Three Twins.n that record breaking musical comedy now playing at the Herald Square Theatre, that rivals any bit of fiction printed in the magazines of the day
 In the Seven Ages of Cuddling' used to illustrate the beautiful sentiment or O. A. Hauerbach and Karl Hoschna's superb song, "Cuddle Up Little Closer Lovey Mine,' is an old gray-haired man woman who portray the last of the seven ages
 As Miss Stella Tracey sings the song, the old gentleman and lady, feeble and palsied. totter across the stage, affection ately supporting each other, as with shaking head and tender glances, they slowly enter the spotlight then disappear for the rest of the performance.
 Here is where the beautiful and pathetic sentiment of the whole thing is brought into play. MT. and Mrs. Chas. Brennan who so realistically enact these roles, are in reality life partners and aged lovers. Through fair and stormy weather they have fought their way against the ms and downs of the varied and at times uncertain problems of theatrical life.
 At one time possessing all that was good in the life of an actor, both stars with wealth and fame as their portion, by sickness and reverses, they have been forced to take these minor roles in or" der to remain together in the evening of their lives. Sad, but beautiful, is the lesson of sentiment their devotion teaches, and their appearance aside from the pa thetic sweetness of the song, never fails to bring tear to the eye of an audi ence. who feel a sweet sympathy toward them without knowing their life story.
 MT. Brennan was the first actor to take out repertoire show on the road, and for years a well-known Shakes pearean actor. Mrs. Brennan is a Dane and before coming to this country had established an enviable reputation as an actress in Denmark. A year ago MT. Brennan was taken i'll with wasting malady and In the six months that he was confined to his bed lost sixty pounds. Of course in his weakened condition he couldn't fill prominent part in any play. so in order to keep soul and body together he accepted the position with "Three Twins" and his wife with a devotion that has characterized her life romance, accepted another minor role in order to be near her husband.

occasions, such as receptions or other social functions. The power will be cleo tric, and the partitions, by means of grooves, will be lowered to the floor level, giving an unobstructed space of 80 by 12o if so desired.
 So by simply pressing button a man can turn the first floor of his home into a roller-skating rink, a shooting gallery, a parade ground. ballroom a hall for political meetings, or a fine, free space in which to play blind mans buff with his mother-in-law. Of course, now that such a home Is building, the next house to be built will have vanishing partitions on each floor, and in the house after that not only will partitions vanish in the floors, but the floors themselves, moved by electricity, will curl up and disappear

in. the walls. In such happy home 1t will be possible for the dear children to play baseball on the cellar floor, and there will be nothing to prevent them batting flies as high as the roof. Probably the roof will be movable, too, and then the ground rule will be enforced: "A hit over any of the walls is a lone run"
 The lucky man who owns such house will be able to use it as a shed for his airship-whose day is so near-or, having removed only the partitions and left the floors in place, he can put out sign, Lofts to let when he takes the family away for the summer. Without the floors the house would make a good tennis court: by adding a few ropes, ladders. and dumb-bells, a fine gymnasium; by flooding the cellar a delightful natato- rum. The possibilities are infinite.

The Palisade Athletic Club played
it's best game of baseball on the East
Orange grounds July IL against the
Athletic Club there. 1t was lost to
the Palisade boys through unfortunate
errors of judgment, but should have
been won hands down. AS a game it
was treat and would have delighted
any beholder. The score at the eighth
inning was to in favor of Palisade,
but in the East Orange half of this in
ming three runs were scored, placing
East Orange one ahead. Then Berney
Brady in Palisades half tied the score
East Orange added another in the
ninth and PaliSade could not score.
EVERYTHING throughout the contest
favored Palisade, but they simply
handed the game to the East Orange
lads on a platter, without any excuse
whatever.
Douglas pitched remarkable game,
only five hits being made off his deliv-
cry. Palisade made sixteen hits off
the East Orange pitcher, which shows
how things went in the batting line.
The diamond was too fast for the
Palisadians, they having been used to
the home grounds, which are slower
than molasses There isn't any doubt,
however, but that the P. A. c. boys are
able to put UP a fine ar icle of ball
with little practice on fast field.
Steele caught magnificent game in
this last contest and Berney Brady
outdid himself at first. He also made
four hits and scored three runs. The
rest of the boys all did well. The
score follows:

gasted at short, principally because he
played too close in on that speedy
ground. Better luck next time, Ray
Jimmie Druck in centre, couldn't
gauge them just right, but he did his
best.

behind the bat. His work could not
be improved.

Notes On the Game.

The East Orange boys are a gem
tlemanly set and it was a pleasure
to play with them.
Pretty hard to beat Berney Bradys
playing at first base. He made some
stops and pickups that were pnenome-
nal.
1t was the best game Emory Doug
las ever pitched. They couldn't solve
him.
Garfield May didn't have much to
do on third but he made up for it a.
the bat and counted two runs.
Our boys must learn that the dOu-
BILE cal is effective only when men
are on first and third-not third and
second This play cost them the
game, no doubt.
Logan at second played well, but
missed a grounder that fooled him
badly. Fast diamond.
Hunicke played a dandy fielding
game and was fast, as usual.
Edgar Darby vows he will not play
the sun field again.
Ray Dwiggins was a bit fabber-
