Cincinnati, Oct 6,-For the first time in tho history or the National League of Baseball Clubs, a post-season game for the settlement of the championship is announced for Thursdays of this week, the tangle that arose over one game of the last series of games played in New York between the New York and Chicago clubs having brought n decision today from the National league directors to that effect

KING OF RIOTERS"
This is Title That Will be Given
Rockefeller by CIeve-
land Fans.
THEY WANT HIS MONEY

Cleveland, O., Oct. 3-All Cleveland
is suffering from an aggravated at
tack of baseballitis, and unless plans
miscarry John d. Rockefeller is to be
crowned king of the rooters."
That is, if Cleveland wins the Amer
lean League pennant, which 4o3. S91
rabid fans here declare it will, and if
Mr.. Rockefeller is willing to 5000 for
title, which, it is declared, will be
as bona fide as that found for him in
the dusty archives OF European Ii
braries by an expert genealogist.
Should Larry" Lajoie and his as
sistant ball tossers obtain the right to
contest for the premier base ball hon
ors of the world with the National
League champions, Cleveland wants
to give Mr.. Lajoie a celebration that
will go down in history.
The first question was one of funds.
County Clerk Salem appeared on the
scene with a brilliant idea.
Let's ask John d. Rockefeller to
donate something and head the list

but never breaking their circular out
line. The thousands OF soaring forms
hold us spellbound for minutes before
we rode closer. Now change takes
place, as gradual but as sure as the
shifting clouds of sunset. Until this
moment there had been a tendency to
concentrate at the base Of the cone,
that portion becoming blacker and
blacker, until it seemed a solid mass OF
rapidly revolving forms. But at our
near approach, this concentration
ceases and there is perfect equilibrium
for a time. Then, as we ride up gen

clear of the ground and drifts away;
the summit rises in a curve, which. lit

PRISON FOR DEBIT
Way Law is Made to Fit the
Case in England is
Shown.
JAIL FACES THE DEBTERS

1t is commonly supposed that In
these days there is no imprisonment
fer debt in England, but the SUI posi-
. ton is wrong, both i'll substance and
in fact.
True, the term imprisonment for
debt is done away with, perhaps be-
cause the debtor does not pay his debt
by going to prison, yet to prison he
goes for it all the same, although in
the eyes and in the phraseology of the
law he goes there for contempt OF
court" whereas in so per cent of such
cases the poor defaulter suffers his
seven, fourteen or twenty-eight days
''close confinement solely because Of
his inability to pay the monthly sum
ordered by the judge or the magis-
trate.
Nor, as already said, does the incar-
ceration pay what is owing. For if the
creditor chooses to do so he can have
the debtor committed again immedi-
ately after one term has been served
and so on as long as the debtor lives,
because the judgment goes on forever
unless the amount of it be paid.
But second commitment on the
same judgment is very rare.
At the Jail in a certain eastern coun-
ty, where the writer of this article
spent fourteen days, he was not re-
ceived quite as felon would be, but
decidedly not as nonlawbreaker
should be received and treated.
The time of arrival was 2 p. m.
He had no dinner, so after his peck
cts had been emptied and the articles
tabulated he was given six ounces Of
brown bread and four ounces of 'Har-
riet Lane"-i. e., timed Australian
mutton. e-.s.-= s-s., -~-.-.-
He was then put into receiving
CELL" eight feet by four feet six inches,
with a concrete floor six feet below the
level Of the earth and decidedly damp
as was proved by the wet salt kept
*here for the prisoners use.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-10-04

Two hours la,vf he was removed to
another receiving cell, this time with
wooden floor, twelve feet long and six
feet wide. At 6 o'clock there came his
supper, pint Of weak oatmeal Cruel
and eight ounces of the ubiquitous
brown bread-the staple article of diet
and the best.
His bed was q two inch thick mat
tress Of cocoanut fiber laid on three
boards supported on crosspieces about
three inches from the floor.
The betclothes were ample, but the
pillow ard bed boards were Of a decid-
eddy hard nature.
At quarter TO 8 loud bell rang
to go to bed, and at O'Clock the gas
Gin a small hole in the wall and shut
rugated glass; was turned out. Ali
debtors get this treatment.
On the following morning at 1880
there came breakfast-a pint Of weak
tea and eight ounces of the brown
bread. Then the doctor called.
Are you all right?'
Eyes. thank you" And the door
banged like clap Of thunder.
Then came the chaplain, a clergy
man from outside, rather old, much
grabbed and certainly unfit for his post.
He snapped like a terrier with tooth
ache, yet there was growl in his snap
lymph! What are you here for?''
"Debt."
'Debt! Umph. Why don't you be
honest and pay your debts?" And the
door banged louder than before. Final
ly came the governor on his daily
round Of inspection.
A days routine was simply this: Up
at the ring of q bell at 5:45, dress in
the dark; then came lights, beds and
bedding We're put away, cells and cor
ridor swept and busted and cell utensils
cleaned; at 7:30 breakfast, each pris-
oner being then locked in his cell till
$50, at which time all were mustered
and marched to chapel.
Then from chapel to cells again, to be
locked in until the governor made his
smart pace round of inspection, say
ing as he sped past each cell door,
ANY complaints?' but one had to be
there a week before the two words be-
came clear enough to be understood.
When he had gone all the debtors
were put into room to pick cocoanut
fiber. Then came an hours exercise
in large yard, after that dinner and
another locking in till 100 p. M, fol-
lowed by another hours exercise and
more fiber picking up to $50. At 5:35
there was tea, when each man was
again locked in till o'clock next morn

Fine" was the echo.

Fine, was the echo.
So Mr.. Salem is now practicing a
little speech, which will be delivered
to the Standard Oil magnate-if Cleve-
land wins.
Mr.. Rockefeller is known as a sport
enthusiast, but so far his favorite di-
version has been golf-not the national
game But Mr.. Salem and the other
base ball fans think that in view of the
prospective victory of Cleveland, the
oil king will be willing TO head a
subscription list with a paltry 5000
in order to see that his native town
does things up brown.
And If he does hear the list Mr.,
Rockefeller will be given the title of
king of the rooters," and he will al
so be allowed TO sit at the right hand
of Lajoie at the banquet and will also
be introduced 10 'Addie" Joss and Bir-
mingham.
Greater honors than these are not
conceived in the mind of a Cleveland
fan. ,

Bismarck and tho French.

Bismarck had no great opinion of the
French. He believed that they are too
easily swayed by popular catchwords.
Talk to a Frenchman about liberty.

his nation Is the greatest In the world.
and you can do anything with him.
You can impress the French more than
any other people If you tell than it is
done in the name of freedom"
Asked his opinion in the case OF a
certain French spy, he said: ITS a sad
case. You've got to hang him. but do 1t
with the utmost politeness. so as not to
hurt his feelings"

A little out of season for snake

right vouch for the truthfulness OF

While ditching recently along the
railroad track on George Peachs

instance they threw two or three of
them out on the snow and after the
warm sun had shone upon them a
few hours, life began to manifest it
self and they crawled away. The
section men tell me the next find
they make they will bring the whole
family to the printing Office. If they
do, this Office will be for sale, for
when we "see snakes" it's time to

The School Board Supreme.

Judge Dickinson, of Minneapolis
has refused to order the school board
of that city to reinstate Herber
Brooks, high school senior, who wa!
expelled because he defied the super
intendent's edict against Greek letter
fraternities. The boys father took
the case into court on the claim thai
the state law and the rule OF the
board were both unconstitutional.
The court declared that the in
tention OF the legislature was not vi
tai, for the school board had author
ity, even if there was no statute
touching the subject, to enforce such
regulations as it deemed for the best
interests of the school. This decis-
ion conforms to the ruling OF the
appellate court in the state of ILL
nois and also to that of the supreme
court in the state of Washington, to
the extent that all three recognize the
authority of school boards to elimi-
nate the fraternity evil.
1t would be remarkable, indeed, if
the governing body of the public
schools were denied the right to con-
troll school life, and we could imagine
nothing more demoralizing to the
cause of education. Even If it could
be demonstrated that the advantages
of the fraternity were greater than
its disadvantages, still when they
who are charged with the manage
ment of the schools decide agains
the fraternity, that decision must
stand until revoked or discipline Is

Of interest:
1T is rumored that the fraternities
at Wisconsin State University will be
abolished by the State Legislature
at its next session. Only those Of
honorary character will be recogniz-

fraternities in Michigan and many
other states is none too friendly

these institutions for it Learned long

are here organized fill all socia
needs and at the same time are free|

lures of college fraternity. The
two national fraternities at M. A. G
are honorary only!'
There is growing feeling in the

take steps to prohibit all class and
other organizations connected with
the schools save that of the senior

AMERICAN VARIETIES.
How a Fad Is Working Very Great In
Jury to Some of Them.

J. III. Drevenstedt in American Fan
cier says: "a retrospect of the varie-
ties seen at many shows the past
twelve months indicates the drift to-
ward American varieties more strong
ly than ever. Rhode Island Reds have
made giant strides in many sections,
not only in the number exhibited, but
in the great advancement seen in the
quality of the birds. The males are
still considerably in advance of the fe-
males as far as color is concerned, al
though in the past few months we
have seen and handled a number of
hens and pullets, both single and rose
comb, that were strictly high class in
the evenneSs and richness of the sur
face color, absence of mealiness and
shafting being a gratifying feature.
Columbian Wyandottes are booming
and coming along at great clip. The
beautiful Light Brahma markings are
now frequently seen in first class Co
lumbians, and the graceful Wyan-
dotte type is being rapidly approached.
This variety is bound to be very popu-
y
pleases the eye for color, but catches
on in shape.
"White Wyandottes are still leaders
in numbers at most shows, their popu-
larity being universal. Still, there has
been falling off In some sections,
and we regret to say the quality is
not just as good as 1t might be or
what it was a few years ago.. e., as
whole. The craze for dead white
plumage regardless of shape, color of
skin and legs has worked injury to
this great fowl In certain sections.
Practical poultry raisers have COM
planned that the hens of some strains
lay inferior eggs, and not too many of
them, and that often the carcasses
dress white instead of yellow. That
some mighty poor stuff has been sent
out labeled White Wyandottes by ava
ricious dealers is unfortunately true.
Some Of the so called big egg strains
advertised by men who are taking ad-
vantage Of the big boom I'm whites are
libel on the breed, and buyers should
fight shy OF such. There are many
reputable White Wyandotte breeders,
men who exhibit at the leading shows
and advertise in the leading poultry
papers, and these are the fanciers to
deal with. First class White Wyan-
dottes are in demand always and are
not too plentiful at any time"
