LUSH MUST GET THERE.

That tho Nashville baseball club is hot on the trail of Billy Lush, the former Cleveland player and former coach of the Yale baseball nine, was ascprtained Wednesday when Lush re- ceived from the Nashville nine 2 rail- road ticket to that city and orders to report.
 Lush has not as yet decided wheth- cr he will play with Nashville this year or not. His eye, which was in- tured last year while on the southern trip with the Yale baseball team, is ow better and he feels confident that hs can hit the pellet as we'll as ever. Lush has been undecided as to what he will do this season since he is not connected with the Ell nine. Manager DaIy of the New Haven state league baseball team has been after him in ortler to have him act as player-man- ager of the team, but there has been some hitch in the proceedings.
 Since Cleveland has farmed him of to Nashville, the player will not be able to play with the New Haven state league team if Nashville does not want him to. He can, however, act as bench manager. but it is very doubtful if Bert Daly is going to pay this crack player and coach and not get the benefit of his fielding ability.

No man can deny that hostile courts,

dividing Gods paradise into two hos

its own rights and those Of the peo-
pie any longer regarded, it must enter
politics in earnest, and see to it that
men who regard the sacredness Of hu-
man rights as paramount to property
rights are representing the people in
the halls of legislation. Not that
property rights are to be disregarded,
but that man is of more CONSEQUENCE
than the almighty dollar, and that
property rights should be made sub
servient to human rights. The grow

COULDN'T FIND WORK
AND COMMITS SUICIDE

BEMIDJI. April S.-The remains Of
George Gergin were found yesterday
noon on an old skidway near the H.
& I. track, half a mile out of Funkley.
From papers and a note found on the
body it is determined that it was a
clear case of suicide.
Judging from the note that was
found on the body, it seems that. Ger
gin has been playing in hard luck for
the past month, being unable to find
work. In the note he asked that the
authorities bury him without looking
up his relatives or permitting anyone
to know where he is. He states that
he is acquainted with B. Thompson
and Louis Jones of Tenstrike.

MEXICO HAS CAUGHT AND
PENNED TROPIC OF CANCER

From the New York Tribune:
AT last the Tropic Of Cancer has
ben nailed down. This elusive imag-
mary line dividing the temperate from
the torrid zone. that used to seem SO
Intangible in our geography days, has
been put in it's proper place on Mexi-
can territory and snugly housed so
that it may never again be tempted to
stray from home. 1t was SO hard for
poor old Cancer to remember that it
belonged about % degrees north of the
equator, just as far as Capricorn was
on the other side. Reports came in
to the Mexican government that. the
Crab was inclined to ramble over the
border at night, though hampered by
a sidewise method of locomotion, and
thus might provoke international COM
pl1cations. The Texas Rangers gave
notice that the geographical character
of the animal would not save it if it
dared to venture on United States soil.
"Ah, have eet-we will pen heem
in building!" exclaimed Mexican
scientist to whom the difficulty was
propounded. "A special house for
heem beside the railroad, and then the
Yankee tourists, will they not almost
pay for the privilege of, looking at
Senior Cancer?
This happy suggestion was adopted
and a comfortable stone dwelling was
put up for the accommodation of Cam
Ger on the line Of the National Rail-
road of Mexico. 1t is situateds sS3
miles south of the United States bor-
der. On the south side of the house
are the large lettered words, "Tropico
de Cancer" and "Zona Torrida," while
the north side proclaims 'Zona Tenn
plada," or Temperate Zone" The
