BASEBALL TEAM BROKEN
UP BY CUPID'S INR0ADS
Manaqer Finds His Best Men Un-
nerved in Three Different Towns
by Smiling Girls

ELIZABETH. N. j.. July 30.-Cupld,
that rascal Of such varied pranks, has
amused himself now by. putting out OF
business the local team of the Atlantic
baseball league.
On the Elizabeth nine were three
bachelors-Henry Gastmeyer, Clarence
Wolf and Daniel Burke. When the sea-
son started in April and for a month
all three played fine ball and the Eliza
beth team led the league.
Then the teams wise manager, Jacob
Reuter-, noticed that when the Eliza
beths played in Allentown, Pa, Wolf
who had been catching most anything
in center field, muffed as If the sun OF
some other brilliant object was blind
ing him.
In Shamokin, Pa, Burke never hao
his eye on the ball, but always on a
mighty pretty girl who smiled on him
from a reserved chair.
And in Sunbury, also Pa, Heinie
Gastmeyer, who had been a terror at
bat, Invariably struck out, while a
charming young woman who wore the
Sunbury nine's colors loudly applauded
him.
Reuter- angrily questioned the three
p1ayers, and, all the Elizabeth fans say.
Gastmeyer confessed that he was doing
his best to catch and hold for his very
own the Sunbury girl and that any

Burke acknowledged to Reuter- that he
longed only to make home runs for life

FOUR THOUSAND W0RKMEN
EXPELLED FROM GERMANY
Government Has Drastic Method OF
Dealing with Undesirable
Aliens

BERLIN, July 30.--Germany's dras-
tically efficient method of dealing with
undesirable aliens is strikingly illus
trated by an official report issued this
week announcing that during 1908 40OO
foreign workmen were expelled from
the country.
The authorities were animated by
various motives in carrying out these
expulsions. Numerous foreign work.
men are expelled for no other reason
than that they were guilty of breaches
of contracts into which they had en-
tered with their German employers.
Those foreign workmen who failed TO
fulfill the conditions of their agree
ments with German employers of laboc
were ordered by the police to leave
the country and were kept under strict
police supervision until they had been
elected beyond the frontiers.
Other foreign worllmen were expelled
because they conducted themselves in
a disorderly way, thereby becom ns
public nuisances. Others, again, were
ordered to leave the country because
they perpetrated different Offences
which brought them into collision with
the German law.
The majority of the worl1men thus
expelled were men OF Polish nation

SAN BERNARDINO, July s0.-H. P.
Beherns and Albert Boisngas, the two
young men arrested in Los Angeles to-
night, charged with burglary commit
ted in this city, are local boys, and
Beherns is especially well known, com

to injure the plaintiff in his business or
in any way, and traversed his claim
that he had been so injured. They also
denied any completely in the proffered
arrangement to withdraw the boycott if
the plaintiffs brother gave up a par
ticular farm.
Denis Henry. X. c.; Mr. Powell, K.
c., and Mr.. Denning appeared for the
plaintiff. Mr.. Campbell, K. G.; Mr..
Healy, K. c., and Robert Foyle ap-
peared for the defendants.
Damaging Testimony
Michael Carroll, herder in the en-
ploy of the plaintiff, said that ne
was present at a meeting of the Mount
Temple branch of the league in No
vember, 1907, when a resolution was
passed to boycott Thomas and Ed
ward DoIan. The opinion was ex-
pressed that there was no use in boy
cotting Thomas unless Edward, VINO
had a shop, was also boycotted That
resolution had reference to the Clon-
rellick farm. Cattle-driving was also
mentioned, and the cattle were after
ward driven off the lands. The wit
ness went on to give evidence OF
second meeting on December !, 1907 at
which all the defendants were again
present, with Eugene Robbins in the
chair There were resolutions passed
to boycott the Messrs. Doian at that
meeting also. The sort of boycott
that was to be directed against the
Dolans was to be a "black" boycott.
Peter Malone, secretary of the Mount
Below branch Of the United Irish
league, in answer to Mr.. Henry ad-
mtted as being in his writing a let
ter dated December 26, 1907, addressed
to one P. Buckley. The letter was as
follows:
81 am directed by the committee and
members of the above branch of the
United Irish league to ask you to with
draw and not do any work for the
following men, as they are condemned
by our committees: Messrs. Thomas
Dolan and brother, Thomas McDer-
mott, Patrick Brown and Michael Car
roll. Hoping you will comply with the
request, / remain yours respectfully, "
etc.
Edward Dolan, the plaintiff, was ex-
amined, and described how his business
had been affected by the boycott. He
was cross examined by Mr.. Campbell
as to the possession of Clonrelllck
farm. Mr.. Campbell said he alleged
most serious underhand proceeding
with reference to this farm on the part
of the plaintiff and his brother with
the object of throwing dust in the eyes
of the estates commissioners and of
getting the farm for Thomas Dolan.
To Witness-Did your brother get q
number of persons, nine in all, includ-
ing yourself, to send in their names to
the estates commissioners asking for
advances to purchase small portions of
the Clonrellick farm?
Al did not do it.
Q-Was it done with your knowl-
edge?

MARBLE HALLS"
OREGON CAVES ARE MADE
NATIONAL MONUMENT
WONDERFUL CAVERNS STILL
ARE UNEMPLOYED FULLY
President Signs Proclamation lnsurng
Natures Great Handiwork Being
Unmolested by Tourists and
Vandals

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The presi-
dent has just signed a proclamation
making a national monument of the
Oregon caves, or MARBLE HalP' of Jo-
sephine county, in Southern Oregon.
These natural wonders are located in
the Siskiyou national forest, about
thirty miles south of Grants pass in
Cave mountain.
The caves are in marble and other
limestones and consist of innumerable
caverns, corridors and passageways Of
various sizes, all of them decorated be-
yond description in crystallized carbon
ates. They have been explored to a
distance of two miles or more, the low
est of them being at depth of about
1000 feet below the summit of Cave
mountain. the highest being some 700
or 500 feet above it. There are many
passageways and rooms which have
never been opened, and with these dis
tant and unexplored openings the mag
nitude of the oregon caves is practical
ly unknown.
Discovered in 1874
These natural wonders were discov-
cred in 1874 by Eliza Davidson, while
bear hunting, and the greater part of
the exploration work was done by f.
NJ Nickerson of Kerby, Ore, in 1877,
when four floors or levels were par
TALLY opened. Many of the old ladders
used at that time are still in use.
Cave mountain, the peak which con-
tains these caves, rises to an elevation
of about 5000 feet, and is of limestone
formation. The main openings around
which the national monument has been
created are at an elevation of 1000 feet,
but the entire mountain side for five
or six miles shows caverns of various
sizen, and in all probability is honey
combed throughout its interior like the
norton Whcih has been explored.
Many small streams are found at
different elevations, and larger bodies
of running water can be heard in bot
tomless pits so far as measured. This
running water probably accounts for
currents of wind that in some of the
galleries blow so hard as to extinguish
an open light at once.
Varied and Beautiful
The lime deposits take many beauti-
fuI forms: massive pillars, delicate
stalactites of alabaster whiteness with
the crystal drop of water carrying It's
minute deposit of lime from which they
are formed. and broad sheets resem-
bling drapery with graceful curves and
waves that were certainly made by
varying currents of wind during forma-
tion. :.
In past years visitors have broken off
and carried away many Of the most
valuable specimens, and this destruc-
tion as well as to retain these natural
wonders as public property, induced
the recommendation TO place tnelu III
national monument.
The forest service has rebuilt and I'M
proved the trails leading to the caves
! from each side of the divide in order td
more easily protect the valuable forest
| surroundings, and to make the caves
more accessible to tourists.

the accusation that she had stolen $40
from him, a eOlOred woman shot
Hindu Iaborer this afternoon near Grid

than a yard from the muzzle of the wo-

his face. The bullet struck the Hindu
squarely between the eyes.
To the utter amazement of the physi-

ball was found fiattened against the
frontal bone and as large as silver
quarter. Dr. Thompson removed the
disk Of lead and the Hindu soon regain-

Fourteen eantIes from Thirteen Eggs

EUNICE, Ind, July 30.--How four
teen chickens came from setting of
thirteen eggs is puzzling the firemen of
No. | station. The firemen have a
menagerie which includes two mon
KEYS and other creatures, and recently a
farmer contributed a bantam rooster
and hen.
The hen began setting on thirteen
eggs In due time the chicks began to
peck through the shells, and when all
were counted 1T was found that there
was one more than the thirteen.
Only the poorly established theory
of twins from a double-yoke egg will
account for the extra chick.

Japanese Painting.

The Japanese, with their natural, unsophtstcated view of life, have ever sought in their art to mirror what a great painter and critic has termed "men's primordial predilections." Art, however, that seeks to embody pleas- ures founded on the unchangtng prop critics of human nature must have a past as well as future, must be able to look backward as well as forward. Not one's life labor, but that of many generations, Is required. No people have better understood this than the Japanese. They have also clearly per ceived that no art that is not true to the changeless element in man can en- dure, while, on the other Nland, any subject, however trivial, can be made eternally attractive if only treated in accordance with aesthetic law
 Japanese painting delights us by its delicate fancy, its poetry, it's freedom, its spirit, but what gives these quail ties special and enduring charm, what makes the play of fancy never wearl- some, the liberty never mere license, is that they find expression in and through framework of design so fine ly conceived that in it we see reflected as in a mirror the fundamental princi- ples which govern all true art-W.

Two T.Ie. of M.crendy,

It is not always well to strut and fret one's little hour upon the stage too realistically. Macready, who threw himself into his acting heart and soul, used to tell funny stories about the ef feet of his easy, colloQuial manner upon the players collected for his com pany in small provincial towns. Once in the play of William Tell'' he turned to one of these stupid rustics and put the question, "Do you shootr so natu- rally that the man was quite thrown of his guard, and, to his horror, replied. "A little, sir, but I've never had a go with one of them crossbows." Another time in "Virginius" he asked, Do you wait for me to lead Virginia in, or will you do sop only to be greeted unex- pectedly by the actor who played Icil- jus with, "Why, really, sir, I don't care; just as you do it in London"

Power of F..hson.

Though we can neither tell whence fashion comes, nor how, nor what it will do next, nor why it was yesterday one thing, today is something else and tomorrow will be different, nor why 1t always has been, is now and proba- ply always will be obeyed, it moves steadily forward into that realm of common sense where beauty and utili- E blend in perfect harmony and ever keeps step with the progress of civili- zation and culture. No garment can please the man of refined and cuItivat- ed taste, however correct it may be in f1t, however well it may be tailored or however excellent the materials may be of which it is made, unless 1t is fashionable, even though it violates no law of art and of itself is a thing of beauty, for without that indescribabIe something that only fashion can give it is like flower without fragrance or a tune without music.-Saft torial Art Journal
