during the disability of Laioie. That
fall he was signed for the Jersey City
club by Manager Murray, who got in
the Boston National League club.
Grant made good with Jersey City
from the start He not only ranked
high as a third baseman, but led the
Eastern league batsmen for the 1906
season. When Manager Murray signed
with the Philadelphia club he secured
Grant also for the same club by pur-
chase. Mr.. Murray was absolutely
confident Grant would make good as a
major league player. When he Joined
the Phillies last year he was handi-
capped by lack of condition, but he
made good showing despite that fact
and subsequent injuries. This season
he has been doing fine work.

community, region, into state of ex-
element, but even this is overshad
owed by a baseball game. Recently
there was a game of ball at White
horse, in the Yukon country. A ball
team from Juneau and one from Skag-
way visited the town. And on the
day the ball teams meet at the little
town at the foot of the Whitehorse
rapids every store in Skagway was
closed, people went from Juneau, and
at Whitehorse it was holiday. Base
ball has always been the great game
in Alaska. When the Klondike was
booming there were four semi-profes-
sional clubs in that city, and twice
each week everyone with any life or.
ambition was present. Stores were
closed up, and thousands of dollars
changed hands on each game. In the
north baseball games are called at
eight o'clock in the evening, and on
it being as light then as it is in
Seattle at seven o'clock. Fairbanks,
being the largest city, has several
clubs. They furnish the only sport
the people have, and each evening
everyone in the city wends his way
to the Garden Island park. The same
can be said about Nome and other
cities, for in all the wide world there
are more real, genuine fans to the pop
ulstion in Alaska than elsewhere

statistics will show that more col
lsge men make good every season
than players who are picked up from
tho lots. And of the college men who
start their professional careers in
minor leagues larger percentage
get into fast company than of athletes

bottoms and open fields throughout
the country.
Summing up the situation in its
entirety, the colleges of the United
States supply larger percentage of
good material, based on the number
of men chosen, than do lots and mead
ows. A careful study of the names of
players who have been culled from
colleges for professional service will
show that comparatively few of those
who have been so picked have been
failures. Can the same be said Of the
minor leaguers who aspire to higher
honors?"

A spurious system Of education re.
tailed from schools and universities
built and engineered by British off.
Gals, with East-Indian money, has also
been used to weaken the people. The
young men on graduation from col
lege have found that their physiques
have been ruined. Physical culta-~
has been conspicuous in the educa-
tional system by it's woeful absence.
The instruction has been of a nature
that has invested the young men and
women with contempt for agricultu-
raj and trade work; and has engen-
dered within their hearts hatred for
men and women of sects and castles
other than their own. Nothing has
been taught in the schools and col
leges that would tend toward uniting
the people and evolving an East-In-
dian nation. The history of India has
not been given so that it would stimu-
late the pride of the people and in
vest them with the desire to emulate
those who have gone before them and
to keep abreast of the march of CIV
ilization. In the school text books emf
phasis has been laid on the achieve
ments of foreigners; on what aliens
did for India; and much has been
made of the degradation in general
and especially Of the defeat at arms
Of native East Indians when combat
ing the aggression of the greedy Brit
iShers.

VIEW YORK states new Acute
IA hospital, on the grounds of the
Hudson River State Hospital
Il for the Insane, at Poughkeep-
sic, which will be opened next
October, represents the newest de-
parture in the treatment of mental
faults"
Any man or woman may go there OF
his or her free will and ask to be OBJ
served. 1t will be. done free of charge
If the patient cannot pay. If he or
she can, the charge will run from so
cents to ten dollars week.
1t is to be refuge for those who fear
they are going mad, to be observed
and treated before it is too late. 1t
provides the chance to get we'll after
a nervous breakdown or mental col
lapse without undergoing the stigma
of insanity If there is nothing wrong
the physicians will return the patient
to the world without comment; if
there is any sign of incipient insanity
the patient will be properly treated.
If the treatment fails he or she will
be committed in the regulation way,
as it is done now.
The building is completed now at a
cost of 100000. Only the interior
remains to be finished. 1t is absolute
Iy f1reproof; there is nothing inflam-
mable but the wooden floors and trim.
There are reception rooms, a main
dining-room and dormitories. 1t re-
sembles well-conducted summer hotel
more than an insane asylum.
No More Fetters or Handcuffs.
A century ago an insane person was
at once put in chains and manacles
and cast into a dungeon cell until
death came as merciful relief. 1t
was only the other day that a con-
gresham, visiting the Hudson River
State Hospital for the Insane-it is
not called an asylum-asked to see
the letters and handouts used on the
patents. There isn't one.
1t is not prison; it is a place to
cure. Times have changed.
Here is the situation to-day: You
have had great shock; you have
been immensely worried and you feel
that something is going to snap; you
are afraid there is a screw loose
somewhere"
"Am l going mad?" you ask your
self.
1t is then time to visit the Acute
hospital.
Suppose you really are insane, the
way you would have been treated in
the past is this: A committee was ap-
pointed for your person. Your estate
was taken in charge. You were regu-
1arly passed upon by the physicians,
and a commitment issued. The next
thing you knew you found yourself in
an insane asylum with no chance of
getting out unless the doctors said
you were cured.
But how is this done now?
You feel that something is wrong.
You find that you can't collect your
thoughts. Your memory fails you.
You are peevish, nervous, excitable,
melancholy. You are in great distress
over your mental health. Yet you feel
pretty sure you are not insane, though
folks may shake their heads behind
your back and some of your best
friends may remark that you are not
yourself.
What is there to do? Just take the
train to Poughkeepsie, ask for DR..

like any other disease. The sooner we
get it the better the chance for a

chance of a cure would be so much
the greater.

England's repression of India is un.
rivaled in the history of the world. AS
a direct result of the mal-administra-
ton of Hindostan the people are sunk
in poverty, superstition and ignorance,
festered with plaques and famines,
weak in mind and body. From the
standpoint of unity, the teeming mil
lions of India are the worst situated
in the world.
But the most heart-rending feature
Of British exploitation is that the peo-
pie have been kept under a state Of
hypnosis for such long time that
only a small percentage of them are
alive to the seriousness of the situa-
ton. But the educated community is
increasingly awakening to full
realization of the white mans pur-
pose and work in India, and this awak-
ening is developing into revolution

Famines and plaques are welding

The failure to establish the double
umpire system is not the only de-
fenseless point in baseball. Until the
men responsible for the official aver
ages produce sensible method
whereby the rights of the pitchers
are clearly established, the game is
bound to be a tumble of misunder-
standing. At present, if pitcher
leaves the box while his team Is in
the lead, no matter if he has pitched
but half an inning, he gets credit for
a victory, unless the man who follows
him in the box is beaten. In the latter
case the man who follows is charged
with the defeat who is credited
with the game?" is asked after almost
every game in which more than one
pitcher works. And no matter what
opinion is handed down by experts
who have watched the game, the pow
ers that be usually reverse the de-
cision, when the official score reaches
headquarters. Upon what foundation
shall rules be established to decide to
whom games shall be credited? The
answer is simple. Common sense
ought to rule, not rules that were in
vented years ago. Neither should men
sitting in offices hundreds of miles
away, probably, pass judgment when
they know nothing of the conditions
surrounding the lifting Of one pitcher
and the substitution of another. 1t
would seem that the official scorer,
who represents the president of the
league at every game, would be more
competent to judge which pitcher wins
or loses than anyone else.

his power to keep the congeries of
East-Indian populace from fusing into
one mass of people with community
of interest and with patriotic, national
list ideals and ambitions. By means of
playing the Hindoo against the Moham-
medan, the Sikh against the Hindoo:
by petting the military races of India
and leaguing them against the non
military East-Indians, 100000 British
ers have despoiled 3OO,O0O,OOO natives.
The same policy is responsible for
emasculating the people in general
and the martial races of India in par
ticular An arms act has been en-
forced which has made it impossible
for the natives of the land to carry
weapons or learn to defend them
selves with skill and success. The
manhood of India has been cauterized
to such fearful extent that the Brit
ish recruiting officer is finding that it
is almost impossible to fill the ranks
of the native soldiers who drop out of
the army through death, resignation
and desertion.

Edward Leslie Grant, the young in

The universities were established in
India with a purely economic motive.
"The nation of shopkeepers" started
the educational system with a view to
prepare East-Indian young men to fill
the lower ranks in government seEv-
ice. The native agency being as efe-
cient and much cheaper than the Bril-
ish, was given preference. Moreover,
the occidentals, unacquainted with the
language, customs, religions and
modes of life of the natives, and with
very poor capacity for adjusting
themselves to the climate and other
conditions prevailing in India, and
for learning languages, could not
carry on the plumber of the country
without the assistance of the natives.
That altruistic motives were not re-
sponsible for the establishment of
schools and colleges in India by the
British government is evident for
many reasons. The first and foremost
is the sad insufficiency of school
houses and teachers in India. Four
fifths of the East-Indian Villages are
without school. After century and
half of British administration, more
than SO per cent. of East-Indian wom-
en- and 80 per cent. of Hindoo men are
utterly illiterate. To show the con-
trast, it may be mentioned that in less
than one-fourth of the time the little
kingdom of the mikado has been able
to educate its masses almost to the
extent of those living in wide-awake
occidental countries. Another and
very powerful proof of the sordid mo-
tives with which the educational pol
icy was framed and engineered in
India is that the British authorities
have done practically nothing to train
the natives in the use of up-to-dats
farm and manufacturing machinery
and methods. The East-Indian agri-
culturist and artisan have been al
lowed to play with their industries in
their old-fashioned ways
While the education has been of a
nature which has utterly failed to
modernize the people and render them
capable of employing the new meth
DDS of filling land and making articles
of merchandise, the law has been so
made and administered that the peo-
pie have been reduced to the state of
hewers of wood and drawers of water,
and their industries have withered
and died. The policy of England has
been to force India to remain a pro.

BOSTON. Mass. April 1s.-Leroy
Cohn. Brooklyn chauffeur. who was
employed last summer by Walter Farms
worth Baker. gave some new testimony
in the contest of the Baker will. lie
said there had been much indiscriminate
hugging and kissing in the auto; that
Baker had told him that he was tired
of paying Mrs. Hurd's and Mrs.
Youngs bills, and that at Saratoga the
party stopped at Canfleld's gambling
palace and at the race tracks. In the
early part Of his testimony the ehauf-
feur stated that the popping Of cham
pagno corlis and consuming of cocktails
occurred with nachine-like regularity.
He said that after the stop at Sara
toga Springs he had driven the party to
Bogota. ana that they had drinks at
every town they passed through, Frank
Hurd mixing the drinks in the car. He
added under examination that the 'in-
discriminate hugsing' was done by
both men, Baker sometimes sitting with
his arms around Mrs. Hurd, and at
Olnti lAiiAV1 dipuIA l'AllEfs ellAi
that Hurd also switched off from hug
sing his wife to embrace his sister-in-
law
Edward r Baker, brother Of the
young clubman, who died at the Hurd
home in Bogota after the wild auto
ride, was called to the stand to-
day. and it is expected that he will be
the star witness in his own case to
upset his brothers will. Walter Farms
worth Bakers will provides that one
third of his estate shall go to Natalie
Hurd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
II. Hurd, and one-third to Harvard
College. If his brothers suit is sue
ccssful to have the viii set aside. most
of the estate of $4,000 viii go to him
and his sons.
Mrs Young was questioned on her
having called the young clubman dear
boy" on the trips, and in explanation
said that she often spoke that way to
people she liked.
1t was after her examination that
the chauffeur was called, and in sum-
ming up his previous testimony, he
declared that. as far as he could see,

Mr. Nugent and the others appeared

men, Prosecutor Mott started to read
the indictments. when the city counsel.
as the first one called, appeared before
the clerks desk.

'srhey- all plead not guilty. inser
posed Mr.. Kaliscii. "and we waive the
reading of the indictments. We UNDER
stand what they are for"
Mr.. kalisch. when told that there
were two indictments for conspiracy
involving his clients, said that he would
enter like plea of not guilty.
This plea is made Mr. Kalisch exr
planned. with leave to make such mo-
tion as may be deemed expedient, or
withdraw the plea made"
After consultation with the court
Mr.. Mott said that Mr. Kalisch could
make any motion he saw fit ON April rs.
Quash Motion Likely.
Mr.. Kalisch refused to show his hand.
but it is likely that motion will be
made either to quash the indictment on
the ground tnat they are defective or
that he will apply for change of venue
on the ground that there is too much
prejudice against the men complained
of to give them IA fair trial In this
county.
When it came to the question of bail,
Mr.. Mott said that while there were q
number Of indictments against some OF
the men, he would suggest that they
give bail on one indictment. as that
would be sufficient except in Loeser's
case.
