A day pregnant with possibilities of a shake-up ended non-sensationally, with the relative positions of the three leading clubs in the National league pennant race unchanged. Both New York and. Chicago, however, gained q slight advantage over Pittsburg, the last-named club adding but three points to It's total by its single victory over Cincinnati while New York and Chicago, playing and winning double- headers, each advanced seven points in standing. New York's next test of quality will begin to-day, when the leaders go to Philadelphia for a series of five games with that city's team, which is playing in great form, finish ing yesterday run of five straight victories from Brooklyn. A crucial series will begin in Pittsburg to-day, when Pittsburg will try conclusions with the champions.

Hosie Howard, negro, has wife, a temper and a penchant for lodging debts. Clara. the wife. has a con science. Among Hosie's assets is knife. and thereby hapgs a tale.
 Hosie is at work most of the time, at least. b O doesn't loaf around home. That much can be said to his credit. So it is Clara, who has to stand In the door with the broom and smile and He when creditors come around.
 "A worm will turn" as George Wash ington. said when. he stepped on the snake. and Clara got tired of the game especially as she caught herself re- beating the lies to creditors the land lord in particular.
 Hosie came home Monday night tired cross and hungry and Clara made a great mistake. She tackled him on the subject of settlements before he was fed. Hosie got sore.

MIR. .MURPHYHoNORED
HE IS VOTED ea,oOO RETIRING AL
 LOWANCE,
Carnegie Society For the Advancement of Teaching Gave Him That
 0n Ills Retire- menf.

The friends of Mir. Edgar Gardner Murphy of this city, will be interest
 ed to learn that he is rapidly gaining
 in strength at New Haven. Conn, and 1 that he plans to reach Montgomery
 again shortly after Christmas.
 Mr. Murphy has passed the summer at New Haven with Mrs. Murphy and
 their sons, Du Bose and Gardner. The
 boys are preparing there for entrance to Yale University, though it has, not yet been finally decided as to just where they will take their college training. The preparation for Yale will equip them to enter elsewhere should Mr. and Mrs. Murphy so decide. They have many natural ties at Yale. as Dr. and cousin of Mir. Murphy, Is the director of the observatory and as- tronomer of the university.
 MT. Murphy. having been forced by continued iu-health, to resign as sec retAry of the Southern Education Board, is giving his time and strength to advisory work and to the prepara- ton of a new book. soon to be puh- lished. At a recent meeting OF the Foundation for the Advancement of, Teaching. the following resolution was adopted by the committee:
 In view of the distinguished na- tional service to education rendered by Edgar Gardner Murphy, secretary of the Southern Education Board, an an- nual retiring allowance of three thous- and dollars Is voted"
 This action will free Mir. Murphy from the strain and burden of execu- tive obligations. and will leave him en- tirely at leisure to do such literarH work as he may have the strength to undertake. The disorder of the heart from which he suffers is incuable, but it is the hope of his family and his physicians that his entire freedom from care may result in a gradual irn- provement of his healSn.
 The members of the executive com. mittee which took the action above re- corded are. pr. Henry s. Pritchett, for merly president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and now pres ident of the Carnegie Foundation, pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, New York; Dr. Woodrow Wilson. president of Prince ton University; Dr. c. c. Harrison. pres ident of the University of Pennsyl- vania; and Messrs. Robert A. Franks. Alexander c. Humphreys, and Frank A. Vanderlip.
 Mir. Murphy iS up and about once more, and, as already stated. will reach Montgomery sgain shortly after Christmas.

OVER HALF MILLION
 DEFICIT FOR STA TE

the cash balance In the treasury as of October 1 down to S1.335.07s.s2.
 The condition of the treasury at the beginning of this year contrasted ma terially with the condition the year previous for then 1t was shown by the same character of accounting that the resources exceeded the liabilities by s1S7.5s9.0s.
 The administration, it was learned Tuesday, is not alarmed at any pros pect of a working deficit in the treas ury this year. It is a good guess. however. that with the States finances seemingly on the toboggan, there will be ground for grave alarm when the fiscal year of 1909 opens It is pre- dicted now that even with jumbling all specific funds and disbursing them in- discriminately the treasury will run aground an actual working deficit.
 The total receipts of the State from all sources in, the past fiscal year were .s6i .so2s5 The like item for the year previous was only $3.975, 454,33. Yet-aud in this is explained the de- flcit--the disbursements for the past year were $5.149,045.52 as against s4,- .00S.329.61 the year previous. This shows that more than million dol- lars were expended by the State this year more than during the year pre- vious. The Auditor to the Governor explains that this heavy excess in ex- penditure Is due to three primary causes: First. increase in appropria- tions to the schools and colleges; sec ond, increase in, appropriations to the old soldiers. and third the strike in the coal region. .,tta
