Great Base Ball Club TO Play at
Jacksonville on September 2ls

The louisville Colonels of the
American Association have been
secured at an enormous expense,
and under heavy guarantee to
play a game of ball on Sept. 2lst
with the MadisOnviIle team at
Madisonville. The Louisville
team will make short Barn
stOrming tour after their sched-
ule has been played out in the
American Association. I h Q
Colonels are now in the thIckest
of the fight for the pennant with
the Indianapolis club, with first
one then the other in the lead.
Never before was the battle for
first honOrs for supremacy so Bit
terly contested and it is positive
ly conceded that Louisville has
the strongest team in the Asso-
citation and the promoters Of this
proposition are to be heartily
congratulated on having been
able to secure the Colonels for
this game, thus giving an oppor
tunity for every ops IN this sec.
tion of the country to witness a
game of ball played by team of
real ball players, no member OF
which draws less than $1,000 per
season of six months. This will
be the first chance we have ever
had to see a strictly professional
ball club In our city, and will
possibly be the last as the guar.
antee is a. big one and must be
paid rain or shine, but the game
will positively be played no mat
ter how the weather may be,
there is ample protection in the
large amphitheatre at the Fair
grounds IN case of rain. The
MadIsOnville team will b Q
strengthened by a Central League
battery, backed no by kthe old
favorites, Stone, Pace, Smith,
Givens, Donan, Cummings and
Brown, which will undoubtedly
be tho strongest local team ever
gotten together in MadisOnVllle,
The Colonels will be composed
of the following players: Sulli-
van, Perrine, Quinlan, Jimmy
Burk, Woodruff, Stanley, Stovall,
7ssitz, Adams, Pullman aud Hal
- which is their regular team.

the breakers were heavy. The
humor comedy is the same on
the beach as elsewhere, ,Eonly one
gets a little nearer view. Every
body is at play and mestlY off

patrol brings in a man barely
saved from drowning and the

The Comptroller Promoted.

Comptroller Ridgely, of the currency division of
the treasury department. has gone the way of most of
the comptrolers of the past. He has resigned to
become president of Kansas City Bank, position
for which he had not the slightest qualification before
politics waited him into the comptroller's job.
Enough has happened along that line to remind the
public that it is quite the fashion to place comptrol
ers of the currency at the head of important banks
and secretaries of the treasury at the head of larger
financial institutions and that officials of that class
sign to go into private employ
Just why these positions lead frequently into
pecunarily valuable positions is not known to the
common mortal, so the mortal is left alone
with his suspicious and he frequently cOnJures up
something in his mind that may do injustice to the
ex-oficial who has inherited fat job
The case of the comptroller who has just taken
charge of large banking house is interesting. The
commonly accepted version of his career is that he
had been tried in many capacities without and
was therefore made comptroller Of the currency, by
virtue of a long and strong political pull
If so, other mediocre might be through
the comptroller mill with profit to themselves. 1t
is worth something to the fortunate to rise to
the presidency of great big bank.

The Indian on the Cent.

The "New York Observer" tells the following
story of how the Indian head the copper cent

few weeks ago there died in Philadelphia an old
lady who was the original of this engraving.
If we look carefully at penny it will be seen that
the features under the feather head-piece not
coarse and rugged like those of an Indian Chief, but
refined and delicate, and they in fact those of
Caucasian girl The old lady referred to very
fond of telling the story of how day party of
Indians in native costume to visit the y. 5.
Mint in Philadelphia, of which her father was sup
erintendent. The little girl who was often at the
Mint was with her father he showed them all
about and was as much interested in them as they
were in seeing the stores of gold and silver turned
into money
Their strange feather head-dresses especially de-
lighted her and to please her old chief removed
his and placed it on the childs head
Now it CHANGED that just about that time the
officials of the mint seeking for new design
for the copper cent and seeing the child in the In
dams feathers they at once decided to it. So
this is how it happens that what most people think is
an Indians head the penny is in reality that of

So Mr. Johnson is becoming an invisible quantity

much alone that it is likely to throw overheard

The Democrats of Indiana have held their State
convention and have instructed their delegates to the
Denver convention to vote for the nomination of
Mr. Bryan
The disturbance created by the corporation inter

promised Bryan detection, outside of little group
of tdewaer States that have long contended against
the large and growing progressive element in the
Democratic party.
This inefficient minority is not entitled to the cap

In the orderly course of events, the Democratic

pired-the conventions to elect delegates to the nat
ional Democratic convention at Denver-and the
Democrats of both States have instructed their del

Minnesota promised to Johnson by the opponents
of the policies of Mr. Bryan, does not respond to
the promise
The Democrats of South Dakota, lying West of
the South half of Minnesota, have not held their
convention, but it is not at all probable that Mr.
Johnson will be mentioned in the convention of that
state and it is certain it will declare for Bryan

Teachers Not Competent to Judge

President Charles W. Elliot of Harvard University in a speech
at the banquet of the National Society for the promotion of indi-
vidual education held at the Auditorium, Chicago, January 20, said
that boys and girls should be sorted out by their teachers and forced
by law to study trades assigned to them. The proposition is report
ed to have caused a sensation among those who heard him.
The Reno Journal publishes the views Of several ~clergymen and
educators on the question, one Of the latter being Professor E. Z.
Winfrey, who at one time was principal of the Eureka public school,
and holds a similar positoni in the High School at Reno at the pres
ent time. Mr. Winfreys opinion on the subject is as follows:
"As far as teachers being given the power to determine what
each child is fitted for, I don't think the teacher can say. In my
own experience I have often tried to find out what pupils are best
adapted for, but very rarely have I been able to determine to my
satisfaction. In fact the pupils don't know themselves what field
of work they desire to take up until they get into the last years OF
Eigh School In the teachers experience with children he seldom
has a opportunity to find much about their abilities except along
the lines of the curriculum. / know of one case that puzzled me a
long time, of a boy who did not seem good for anything in particular
in school, until 1 accidentally discovered that he had little machine
shop of his own at home and was an enthusiastic workerin mechanics.
"The teacher would not be as competent to judge of a boys fu-
ture as his parents, and they perhaps would find themselves wrong
after the boy himself exercised his judgment and chose his career.
zone thing l have always advocated is the establishing OF a
manual training course in the schools, although I would not go so Tar
as to suggest the teaching of specific trades. Children should be
taught to use tools and the girls should learn to cook and to sew.
Beginning with the sixth grade a course of manual training should
begin extending through the High School"
