Mathewson Looking Good.

christy Mathewson looks 70 be in on one of his greatest years. The great New Yorker has drawn a fine start, and, if not worked to the limit, should set wonderful record before Octo- Der; On the present western. trip he broke his three-year hoodoo by trim- ming Three-Finger Brown of the Cups and as one New York scribe put 1t: There's joy enough in this old town since Matty beat Three-Finger Brown" After this he cut In on the Reds win ming streak and capped the climax of the entire business by cracking Pitts burg's winning streak upon the thresh- old of the Pirates fifteenth straight win.
 Ed Walsh is another one of the won ders who is slipping back to his win ming stride. The Connecticut Rose- bud drew a wobbiy start through lack of early conditioning, but in the past few weeks has started out for another epoch making campaign and from now on will be a hard man to beat. It would be fine business in u worlds se- ries to see Walsh and Mathewson to- gether-or. better still. to see Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb shine in the same ball ward on the same afternoon. This would give the historiaps their best chance yet to size up the two kings of the decade.--Nashvills Tennessean.

Dexter Goe. To Detroits


 Shh-there is big league scout in town.
 His name is Jimmy Cavanan, and he Is scouting for the Detroit Tigers. He watched the game at Pelican Park yesterday. and he will stay here for several days.
 It is understood from reliable source that he is looking over Charlie Dexter. You know Detroit needs good first baseman now that Ross mans arm has gone bad. And when It comes to playing the initial sack, c. Dexter is about the classiest in the league.
 Just at present "Dext" Is batting ;2S3 clip and fielding at an equally fast rate. Rossman hit way below that mark this season. although last year he hit .293. But Dexter Is young and strong and Is improving right along. It would not be surprising If he were batting over 300 In a few weeks. . Anyway, one Jimmy Cavanan is keping an eagle eye on the scrappy first sacker, and here's hoping Dexter gets the call to the big league.-Times- Democrat.

A WORD FOR MIR. TRAVIS.

This effort which is being made in
certain quarters to blacken the
reputation of Mr.. Dell Travis, of
Pratt, just as he is about to retire
from the office of state fish and game
warden, will not appeal with much
strength to the many people In the
state who know him and to the count
less others who may not know him
personally but who are familiar with
the excellent work that he has ac-
complished in the position which he
has filled for many years with SO
much credit
Several charges were recently made
that Mr.. Travis has been guilty of all
sorts of malfeasance in office. But each
and every charge of this sort was of
the most trivial character After an
investigation. the attorney general of
tho state finds that there is a DOS
sibility of there being something to
just one of them-that Mr.. Travis
used an employee in his department to
work on the Travis farm while the
state was paying the mans wages
and the evidence on this charge is of
such a conflicting character as to war
rant an opinion from the attorney
X
although the matter is to be submitted
to the governor for final determine
ton
So much notoriety has been given
to these charges that Mr.. Travis has
been and is now held up in a rather
unenvitable light, when as a matter of
fact he should be the recipient of
the compliments and the thanks of

game warden in fact that Kansas has

Travis that the affairs of this import

a proper and solid foundation. AL

hatcheries of the state until they are
model institutions of their kind. He
has restocked the streams of the state
with untold numbers OF the fish that
thrive in them. He has stocked the

| variety of game birds that will pro-
vide delicious food and fine sport for

New York,s Business Women.

Any one from London visiting New
York cannot but feel and express sur
prise at the large number of girls fit
ting about Wall street. In this vicfn-
ity there are almost as many women
as men at the noon hour and during
the hour for opening and closing
business.
In many ways New York is the ideal
city for the business girl. She goes
to and from her work without attract
ing the slightest attention, for every
body is used to seeing her fitting
about The better her position and
the higher her salary the more simply
will she be dressed, though II you OBJ
serve the quality of the cloth in her
frock and the cut of it you will find
that in these particulars there are in
dications of the good money she
draws every week or every month.
Occasionally she is able to leave her
work of an afternoon for q matinee,
and on the morning of such a day
you will find her carrying downtown a
little bag containing a dressy blouse,
a hair ornament, and a pair of light
gloves.
To me the business girls Of New
York are the most interesting of all
the city's womankind. They are as a
rule bright and sparkling, of good ap-
pearance, good minds and genuine
culture.-Correspon OF the Lon

ALABAMA's REBUKE.

As might have been expected, Judge
Thomas G.. Jones, of the United States

Alabama legislature during the frenzy

ing to compel corporation submission
to state authority and control or else
abandonment of the field.
Alabama, in common with several
other commemorative, got the idea
that. inasmuch as President Roosevelt
had appointed many federal judges, ap-
peals by corporations to federal courts
would give to that branch of the gen.
eral government a monopoly of trust
Furnishing. So it was actually attempt
