"A CRITICISM
FROM THE PAPER
jacksonville Courier Severely crIti-
cises Berte's Team and Drives
One Man Away.

The Jacksonville Courier severely
criticises the Jacksonville team for
their ball playing of late and an article
which appeared in the paper caused
Jaspar, one of the outfelders, to pack
up his clothes and return to his home
in st. Louis. The article is as follows:
Three hundred and fifty-four people
witnessed the game at West Side
park yesterday, but if the local aggre
cation of pretenders don't wake uI
the number will be less than fifty.
four. The releases, morning practice
or raise in salary A gentleman in
one of the boxes suggested yesterday
that from the way the locals were
playing they must have gotten next
to the fact that every team except
Jacksonville is above the salary limit.
If such is the case, one of two things
should be done. Either force Mr..
Justice to bring the other teams
within the limit or disrupt the league
In an attempt to do SO. If neither of
these plans work, then go out in the
market and buy about three high sal
aried players and get into competi-
ton with the other clubs of the cir
cult Perhaps better thing, how
ever, would be the release of about
three members of the present bunch.

The Lecture.

The pictures shown last evening
were photographs taken while the
party was enroute by steamer to the
Orient and while in the eastern world
The slides shown were clear and dis
tinct for all to see and were much
more enjoyed by the audience because
of this fact.
The first slide, when starting OF
the trip with DR.. Potter last evening
showed the home OF George Washing
ton at Mt. Vernon. The next showed
the party which was composed of some
eight hundred people at sea on the
ocean liner. Several storm pictures
while at sea were shown. Then came
an interesting series of pictures show
ing street scenes in Algiers and the
governors palace.
A slide on which was the large
steam yacht Of Thomas Upton, proved
highly interesting. At Constantinople
a picture Of Roberts college was
shown and DR.. Potter stated that it is
now believed that to this American
Institution can be laid the cause for
the uprising of the young Turks re
Gently.
The old, old tree on top Of Stromboul
at Constantinople where political pris
oners for the past several hundred
years iave been hanged was shown
Thirty Turks were hanged to a limb
OF this tree in the recent uprising.
In Naples, the beautiful parks. stat
uary and sculpture works, were shown
with remarkable clearness. In Rome
the dome of ST. Peters the Catacombs
and styles of architecture figured prom
inently in the pictures.
In the bay at Alexandra, in Egypr
was shown a shipping scene and re
marks of the quarantine of these ships
on account of the bubonic plague ii
tae city were touched on by the speak
er. A photo of the Mayflower, a pleas
ure excursion boat was shown.
From Alexandria, the party was TAX
en- to Cairo. Here we're shown sew
eral irrigation scenes, the three pyra
mids, the Cheops, the burying place O
the old kings and the Sphynx were
shown.
All in all, the talk was very inter
esting and the hour proved very en-
joyable.
