DlEYFUS AND hermann
At WAR OVER PLAYERS

II is war TO the knife now with Barney
Dreyfus. OF the Pfttsburg ball team, and
Garry Hermann, president OF the Cincin-'
natl club. over the latter's ambitions TO
obtain Tommy Leach. the Pittsburg third
baseman. to succeed Ned Hanlon as man.
ager of the Reds For two months Her.
mann has tried to get hold OF Leach. and
has even offered on several occas sions the
sum OF $4,000 to Drcyfus for him. The
matter has been hanging fire and a day
or two ago, when Dreyfus returned from
the West he said nothing had been set
tied. He had referred Hermann 10
clark, and he knew that Clark was 10th
to let Leach leave the Pittsburg club.
Clark is at his ranch in Winfield, Kan.
Nothing further had been heard of trad
ing until Hermann gave out an interview
IN which he is quoted as saying:
las soon as ] hear favorably on the
matter ! shall send for Leach 10 come
20 Cincinnati at once and we will con-
Ter together about the team. and then
! shall send the new manager out to
Winneid TO see Clark and make the best
deal possible for his own services. BY
the time Leach leaves here he will know
Just what we can do In the way OF giving
up players in exchange and just how far
he can go. Then ii will be up 10 him to
complete the negotiations, as / think he
is better fitted for IL than anyone else"
When Dreyfus attention was called to
these remarks. of Hermann's. he smiled
significantly. and after few moments ht
said:
IF that interview is as given out by
President Hermann. l shall call off ali
negotiations Immediately. and shall posi-
lively stop all further talk about trading
Leach. As i said before. the trade is en-
tirely in the hands of Manager Clark at
present. but such a proceeding as the
Cincinnati president suggests is entirely
beyond anything that we would consent
TO- | shall. however. wait until Monday
and not take any hasty action upon the
matter"

 In Maricopa county, J. w. Woolf still remains five votes ahead of Roy Goodrich. and un- less the official count makes a change, Woolt has been chosen.
 If no changes are made III the legislative returns received up to- day the Democrats will have twenty-eight members ot the two branches and the Republicans only eight. Ii will be possible for the Democrats to pass any mea- sure they desire to a two-thirds vote.

The Awful Cold That Comes With
Eighty Degrees Of Frost.

No AWFUL Cold That CoHneS win
Eighty Degrees Of Frost.
1t Is difficult to form any conception
Of the degree Of cold represented by 80
degrees of frost that at times prevails
in certain parts of Russia. Sir Leopold
McClintock tells us how in one Of his
arctic expeditions sailor was foolish
enough to do some outdoor work at
precisely this temperature. His hands
froze, and when he rushed into the
cabin and plunged one Of them into a
basin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly converted
into block of ice.
At % degrees, DR.. Kane says, "the
mustache and underlip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
your tongue, and it instantly freezes to
this icy crusting. Your chin has a
trick Of freezing to your upper jaw by
the happy aid Of your beard. My eyes
have often been SO glued as to show
that even a wink was unsafe"
During a theatrical performance CIV
en- by the crew Of his ship at an inside
temperature of 80 degrees 1.-THE con-
densation was so excessive that we
could barely see the performers. Their
hands steamed. When an excited Thes-
plan took off his coat it smoked like a
dish of potatoes. Any extra vehemence
of delivery was accompanied by vol
umes of smoke. Weekly.

The Next Duty.

"What is my next duty? What Is
the thing that lies nearest to me?'
THAT belongs to your everyday his
tory. No one can answer that Ques-
ton but yourself. Your next duty Is
just to determine what your next duty
Is. Is there nothing you neglect? Is
there nothing you know you ought not
to do? You would know your duty If
you thought in earnest about 1t and
were not ambitious of great things"
"Ah, then" responded she, Il sup
pose 1t is something very common
place, which will make life more dreary
than ever. That cannot help me-
ut will If 1t be as dreary as reading
the newspapers to an old deaf aunt. 1t
will soon lead you to something more.
Your duty will begin to comfort you at
once, but will at length open the I'M
known fountain of life in your heart"

The Order Of St. Patrick.

The most illustrious Order Of st.
Patrick" dates only from 1888, says a
London writer, when it was founded
by George I'LL, and IS not to be COM
pared in age with "the most ancient
and most noble Order Of the Thistle"
which, dating from remote antiquity,
was revived by James II. in 1857. The
curious thing about the bands, or rib
bons, of these two orders is that st.
Patrick's is blue Of the hue that may
sse seen in the "hackles," or plumes, In
the bearskins Of the Irish guards.
though it suggests the blue bells of
Scotland, while the sash Of the thistle
Is dark green, suggestive of Erin's
verdant isle. On state ceremonies
these two orders are frequently con-
founded.

A BILL IN CONGRESS.
The Method by Which a Measure 10
Transformed Into Law.


Transformed Into Law.
On day set for the consideration Of
the bill the house goes into committee
of the whole. A chairman appointed
by the speaker presides. The bill is
read by sections and clauses after gen.
eral debate has closed. and any men,
Der may offer amendments. All voting
in committee is by rising. The yeas
and nays are not taken.
When the bill has been gone through
and all amendments have been voted
upon, the committee rises and the
chairman reports the bill back to the
house, with the amendments. The
house then votes upon them either sim
ely or in gross and by yeas and nays
If they are ordered to be taken.
The bill is then ordered to be en-
grossed-that is. written out in a fair
hand and just as it Is after being
amended-and to be read third time.
AS it is usually already engrossed it is
at once read the third time-by title. as
beforehand passed.
The clerk takes the bill to the senate,
by which body it is referred to the
finance committee. In due time the
committee, if it sees fit. and not other
wise, reports the bill back to the SEN
ate. with propositions to amend. In
the senate the bill is considered "as in
committee of the whole" the amend
ments of the finance committee and
other volunteer amendments are ac-
cepted or rejected. they are again
voted upon when the bill is reported
to the senate from the committee of
the whole, and the bill is passed.
AS the two houses are not agreed
upon the bill. a committee of confer
ence, usually consisting of three MEM
bers Of each branch of congress, is ap-
come to an agreement, reports to each
house, and the acceptance of the re-
port is the final stage of the bill in it's
passage.
The measure is now "enrolled"-that
is. it IS printed in large, open type
the house. where it is signed by the
speaker; then to the senate. where the
vice president signs 1T, and finally to
the president and makes the bill a
law.
Congress is notified that the bill has
been approved, and the original copy
Of the act is deposited in the depart
ment of state.-Edwin Tarrisse in Har-
pers Weekly.

respect. but war office genius bland

The war office was Mortified and

suggested to the glaZier's mind the idea
which in 1870 became the basis for the
double rejecting sea quadrant.
Prior to this time English mariners
had been using Davis bow to ascer-
tain their latitude at sea. but it could
not be adjusted in a storm. Godfrey
gave the subject careful study taught
himself Latin in order to read New
