little tent-like awning, the outside OF
which is shown in Fig. V. The iron
legs of the bed will have to be slipped
back to the position shown in Fig.
II, or a wooden frame for the bed can
be made by any one handy with tools.
The bottom of the awning is entirely
open, while the roof has the centre
opening that is shown in Fig. V. The
upper end of this opening is protected
by a raised frame covered with cloth
(bed-ticking appeared to be the cloth
used in the exhibit), while the lower
part can be left open, to be covered in
stormy or windy weather by a curtain
on a regular spring roller, as shown.
A cord runs from the curtain up over
q little pulley at the top of the Win
dow frame and hangs down within
reach Of the occupant of the bed. 1t
seemed to the writer that a simpler
covering than this could be construct
ed, and one that would always protect
from storms, while always letting in
plenty of air. Such a roof could be
made as in Fig. VI, which is a roof
of cloth projecting some six inches at
the sides and at the back, and raised
above the entirely open top, as shown.
With such a plan it might be we'll to
provide a cloth screen, or curtain, to
close the open side from which a
strong wind were blowing. The bot

Massachusetts has instituted a cru
SADIE in behalf of fresh air for each
and all of it's citizens. It's sanitariums
for the treatment of those afflicted
with tuberculosis are achieving a
most gratifying success, with good
food and pure air as the chief factors
in the treatment; but the State is not
content to stop with this result
gained. 1t is not enough to help men
and women to regain their health-it
is worth while to try to prevent other
men and women from becoming sick.
To this end, there are being sent out
through the State what are called
tuberculosis exhibits. These are not
Gas the name might IMPLY Of an I'M
pleasant nature in any way.
The exhibit simply shows appli-
ances that any one can make, which
will enable him to secure the desired
fresh air during the night; models of
outdoor "shacks" and cabins that,
while affording protection against
storms, will enable one to have prac-
tically the advantage of sleeping out
of doors; models of sleeping rooms
as they should and should not be,
with scores of photographs that show
a multitude of out-of-door plans of
living in actual operation.
Some have sought this result by
building outdoor sleeping rooms on
verandas and veranda roofs. But
there is natural hesitancy in going
oue of doors to bed in zero weather,
and a further hesitancy over the at
tracing of a neighbours attention by
such unusual proceedings. That this
difficulty may be easily avoided is ap-
parent from a consideration of the
cuts which accompany this. They
illustrate some of the devices that ap-
pear in the tuberculosis exhibit which
I have described, and show how easily
n may remain in his sleeping room
and still enjoy all the benefits of
sleeping out Of doors The advantage
of this method of getting fresh air is
apparent. One may disrobe in a
warn room and get into bed before
putting himself into communication
with "all outdoors" In the morning
he can sever this connection and then
arise in a room that is moderately
warm-and he can thus avoid being
regarded as queer" by his neighbors.
The plans shown are so simple that
n is much more likely to put one of
them into execution than he would be
to build a sleeping room out of doors.

Opium Trade in China.

An imperial decree issued by the
Chinese Government points out the
evils of opium, and states that the
British Government has agreed to
decrease its expectation for a trial
period of three years in order to see
whether the cultivation Of the poppy
and the number of opium smokers
is lessened. Should such be the
case, importation into China will be
further decreased gradually. The de.
cree orders the enforcement of exist

MURRAY TO HEAD HIGH1ANDERs
Manager of PhiIlies May BE Made
Leader of New York Americans.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S-If rumors
current are true William Murray, manager
Of the Phillies, will be connected in a like
capacity with the New York Americans
next year. At any rate, It is scarcely posi-
bic that his contract, which expires at the
close of the season, will be renewed. Base
ball owners are decidedly loath to talk of
changes OF management during the heat of
a campaign, and. therefore, none OF the
recent reports, which would send Mr.. MUIR
ray to New York next year. bears either
Philadelphia or Gotham confirmation.
1t is known, however, that the stock
holders of the Phillies are not at all
pleased with the work of the Quakers this
year. The team is in the second division,
with little prospects OF getting out of 1t.
This is particularly embarrassing to the
stockholders, as they believed they had the
material for a pennant contender this
season, II not for a championship winner.
Mr.. Murray scored a distinct success last
season, when he put the Phillies in third
place. This gave visions Of a great pennant
struggle this year. when big crowds would
swarm TO Broad and Huntingdon streets
and the club would pay substantial divi
dends. Up to date neither has been forth
coming, and, instead. the company faces a
deficit.
Personally. Mr.. Murray has been one of
the best liked managers ever holding the
reins over the Phillies. He is a student
Of base ball and knows the game thor
oughly. 1t may be the fact that the ma
terial with which he has to work is of too
poor a class to get good results. With one
or two notable exceptions his team is COM
posed of men who know nothing more than
the mechanical side of base ball. Moreover,
one or two of his men are rated by critics
around the circuit as actually stupid.
Manager Murray undoubtedly knows a
ball tosser. He discovered Mcouillen, the
1905 find OF the major leagues. and while
manager OF the Jersey City team he recon-
mended several others to major league
teams who made good. The Phillies made
one poor deal last year. when they gave
$500 in cash and Johnny Lush to the st.
Louis Nationals for Pitcher Charles Brown.
To offset these rumors is Frank Farrelrs
statement that Eberfeld is the permanent
manager OF the nj But Mr.. Farrell
viii not say what is going to happen next
year. He has a strong personal liking for
Murray and there is no denying the fact
that Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Farrell have had
a talk about the management of the Yanks.

September carries a like amount, making
the estimated value Of each $4,000.
The retaining value of the stakes was
welcome new to the horsemen and it still
further popularized the Coney Island
Jockey club with them. The association
lost $780, 600 on the spring meeting.
The Empire City meeting to be run off
at Brighton Beach is a rumor that has
been freely circulated among horsemen,
and. while It is not confirmed, 1t is gen.
orally agreed that should such a decision
be reached it will be popular with both
the horsemen and the public. The recent
hot spell has made a seaside track vastly
more comfortable than one inland. and
in really hot weather Mr.. Buffers track
could not be made as comfortable as the
Long Island course of the Brighton Racing
association. The advantage to horsemen
is patent. Brighton Beach Is within easy
reach of both Sheepshead Bay and Graves
end, where most of the horses in training
have permanent quarters. 1t is possible
to walk horses over to the track by the
sea and all the discomfort and expense
of shipping is avoided. II the change Is
made 1t is sure to meet with hearty and
unanimous approval.

JOE CANS HOLDS HIS FOLLOWING
Insists He Has One Good Fight Yet
In His System.

In His System.
NEW YORK, July B.-That the defeat
administered to Joe Cans by Battling Nell
son on July 4 has not cost the negro
lightweight his entire following or his con-
fidence in himself is proved by recent cor
respondence and dispatches from San Fran
cisco. Apparently there are many fight
fans on the Pacific coast who still believe
that the negro can defeat the Dane. Cans
has admitted frankly that Nelson was the
better fighter on the Fourth and was fully
entitled to the victory. He has refrained
from giving vent to the customary excuses
which are so frequently called into play
by the fighter who comes out second best
in the prize ring. This action, as we'll as
his long and successful career in the ring,
has made his hackers loath to desert him
despite the fact that many of them lost
money on the battle. Cans plans for the
immediate future are as yet unsettled. He
desires to return to Baltimore to look after
his business interests previous to resum-
ing training for the third battle between
himself and Nelson at Ely in September.
His manager. Ben Selig, however, wants
him to go instead to a mountain resort
for a rest Of at least a month. The point
has not yet been decided, but It is probable
ludl the negro VIII dCCede 70 IHe request OF
his manager. Neither Selig nor Cans is
willing to admit that the negro has fought
his last good fight. They both contend
that as a result of many battles won Cans
grew overconfident and attempted to train
along lines more pleasant than satisfac-
tory in the long run. The negro now ad-
mits that his scheme Of training was all
wrong.
The negro, while giving Nelson credit for
his victory, is sore over the way the Dane
forced him to give everything but the
losers share In the articles for the third
battle. According to the agreement signed,
Nelson gets 10000 of the $4,000 purse, win,
lose or draw, while Cans will have to be
content with 10000, Nelson will have a
two-thirds interest in the moving pictures
Of the fight and the club will have the
other third interest. which leaves the
negro out in the cold. 1t lie this style of
matchmaking that makes Cans hot under
the collar. In commenting on the articles
he said: Just wait. Nelson is the die
tator now and I'll fall for his game with
out whimpering. But I'll square things
with him for these Shylock-like terms on
Labor day, and after that when he fights
me he will eat dirt the same as he is MAX
ing me do now that he has the upper
hand"

Promoters Stalking Out Many Matches
for Labor Day.
NEW YORK, July 1~S.-Judging by the
way the different managers of fight clubs
all over the country are hustling to arrange
a show for Labor Day, it is expected that
there will be more important battles pulled
off on that Gay than on any holiday IN
many years. So far two championship
fights nave been billed. Abe Attell and
owen Moran will battle for the feather
weight title at Colma, Cal, while Battling
Nelson and Joe Cans will engage in a
finish fight for the lightweight champion
ship and a $4,000 purse at Ely, New. Besides
these two great fights there will be others
brought off at Milwaukee, Philadelphia.
Boston, Denver, Baltimore, Salt Lake City,
Ogden. Utah, and at the local fight clubs.
If Jim Jeffries sticks to his statement
that he will never referee another fight
after he officiates in the championship
battle between Abe Attell and owen Moran
on Labor Day there is liable to be some
great squabbling between Packy McFar-
land and Freddie Welsh as to who will
referee their fight on September . at
Jeffries' club. Jeffries says there is not
a chance of him> being the third man in
the ring.

gether these men would make a very for

stamps him as one OF the greatest in the
country. Wright In form-in the sort OF
form he had in 1s05--is a wonder.
The chief difficulty probably will be TO
persuade Alexander 10, go abroad. Business
and other difficulties probably will not be

that the chances are hat the committed
