A National Success.

While for England cricket made a
success Of a titanic war, In America q
titanic war made baseball a national
success. Tt was the soldiers Of the
civil war who learned and played the
game In their camps, who, returning to
their homes, formed teams and thus
scattered baseball from ocean to ocean.
Baseball today, In the sfxty-third
year Of its career as regularly de-
fined pastime, has attained not only
national and international but world
wide sway. It Is the worlds greatest
game, played IN this country alone by
upward OF 5000, 900 men and boys,
whose contests are viewed by over
100000 people yearly. In England
and Australia, to Japan, the Philip
pines ana Cuba, the game has spread.
Yankee soldiers played the game In
sIe shadow Of the great wan of China.

Vast Business Enterprise.
And how has this come about?
Because baseball is soundly organ
lied. It is vast business enterprise,
run on business principles. Business
men have made it worth the while Of
able, brainy men to devote their lives
to studying and developing the art Of
throwing bali that curves, of hitting
curving balls with a bat and Of catch
ing thrown and batted balls. These
able, brainy men thus develop the sci
entifc side Of the game that almost
every full bloeded American citizen
has learned to believe is the greatest
sport medium on earth. The magic
spell, the growing fascination OF base
ball, is explainable as arising from the
all important element Of chance, the
opportunities for spectacular daring,
its competitive possibilities, its POSSIBLE
tiles in the development Of special
skill and the ever pressing need of
violent action and the exercise Of un-
erring quick wit. Actual science In the
exposition Of game comprising these
picturesque elements must necessarily
attract the support Of nation tenn
peramen tally excitable, like the Amer
lean people. And keen business men
have not been slow to take advantage
OF this. %

J. HAM. LEWIS UNGAllANT
USES MUCH LANGUAGE RE-
GARDING LOVELY WOMAN.
Declares That She Is Not to Be Be-

Top-Notch Perjurer.

CHICAGO, January T.. Remember.
ing to a woman, and. as Horace has so
truthfully expressed it, When a woman
starts out to perjure herself, all hell cam
not keep her record.
With these words and few more like
them Col James Hamilton Lewis took
the breath away from 200 students in the
Northwestern University Law Scnool last
night.
"A woman always comes to testify as a
witness for one of two reasons" he said.
Either she comes through a sense of af-
lection or duty to those whom she loves
or she comes to satisfy what she regards
as a perfectly legitimate feeling, resent.
ment.
Young Lawyers, Beware.
'If it is the first of these she will come
through fire and water to testify. and
she will see things as her friend views
them Sincerely and earnestly she will
testify that things are as she thinks they
ought to be, and you may cross-eXamine
until YOU have exhausted the vocabulary
and you will get nothing from her but
her ideas of what they ought to be. A
woman has no idea of the sanctity of an
oath, and woman will repeat when on
oath anything which she will say when
not on oath.
IF she comes as your witness. impelled
by a feeling of sentiment, be careful not
to let her tell why she came. Get your
main point out of her as eXpeditiouSly as
possible and let her go. Do not branch
off into collateral matters or she will
take the first opportunity to vindicate
herself for appearing by telling the
grudge she has against the defendant.
"On the other hand. if you are cross
examining her be careful not to let her
state the grievance that has brought her
in as a witness against your client. unless
YOU are sure of what it Is, for no matter
what a woman does, If 1t be an act I'M
PEELED by natural and legitimate affectlon
the world will ever forgive her"

BARS THE HIBERNIANS
PHILADELPHIA PRIEST TAXES
A FIRM STAND.
His Opposition Based on Their Con-
nection With the Molly Ma
guire Terrorism.

PHILADELPHIA. January 7-Members
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians were
greatly stirred up today through the re-
fusal of the Rev. d. /. McDermott. rector
of st. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in
this city to hermit the funeral services to
be held in his church over the remains of
John DAILY. parishioner. because a Hi
bernian lodge had been invited to attend
the obseuuies. The funeral was to have
been held yesterday and because of
Father McDermott's opposition to the
Hibernians it had to be postponed He
however, agreed to permit the funeral to
take place from st. Mary's only on condi-
ton that the invitation to the Hibernians
be revoked. The widow of Daily agreed,
and in the funeral notice printed today
1t was stated that the Invitation to the
Ancient Order of Hibernians to attend the
funeral is hereby revoked The funeral
was held from the church today without
the presence of the Hibernians.
Father McDermott. in explanation of his
opposition to the society. said he formed
an opinion of the Hibernians during the
Molly Mcguire reign of terror in the Penn
sylvania coal regions. He said:
Take Their Medicine.
my absolute opposition to the Ancient
Order of Hibernians is based on my
knowledge and the facts in my possession
about the Molly Maguires. which got
directly from the condemned Molly Ma
guires themselves. No power on earth
will ever make me recede one inch from
my stand against the Hibernians. l have
given my testimony against them and
what 1 said was true and is true and
cannot compromise on it,
1T is fierce said NJ. 7. keenan,, vice
president of the Irish American Club and
a member of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. in commenting on the. affair.
But what is the use to raise any OBJ
jections? Father McDermott is boss Of
his church and no man will ever shake
him in his principle. Father McDermott
will stand his ground as long as he lives
and he does not care for anybody. We
must respect him for his consistency any,
way. even though he is treating us pretty
rOuohly.''

Cost of the Material.
Facts Not Disputed.

There is practically no dispute as to
the facts, it is stated. and the questions
involved are largely technical. In some
recent cases the courts seemed to hold
that the fact that an employe of the gov
eminent is interested pecuniarily in an
article being purchased through him for
the government makes him and the VEN
dor guilty. a matter of law, of a con-
spiracy to defraud the government
whether the government has been injured
or benefited by the transaction. and en-
trely independent of the question as to
whether in point of fact there was any in
tention on the part of either of the de-
PENDANTS TO perpetrate a fraud. Whether
this view of the law will be upheld by the
courts of last resort remains to be seen
but it may be said safely that the charges
involved in the suit do not impute any
moral turpitude to the defendants and do
not impute any fraudulent conduct or
even fraudulent intention on their part.
