TWO HANDSOME NEW
COTTAGES NEAR COMPLETION

The new cottage of Grover [. oot
tingham, at the corner of South Ken
lucky avenu and Alameda street, is
practically completed, and has been
leased to Mr.. and Mrs. Root, who late
ly moved here from New Haven, Conn
The house is a one-story bungalow of
five rooms, modern throughout and
conveniently arranged. 1t was built
by Upton & Collins.
Another new residence that will
o be ready for occupancy is that
of Mr.. n Mrs. Albert Pruit, on west
Seventh street, built by S. P. Denning.
This is on the bungalow style, con

and started to work on the streets.
He was of the professional stripe and
had a little girl to lead him. The Fed
Grated Charities officers went after
him and offered to help him on his
way if he would give up the child to
some suitable institution; for it was
a shame for the child to lead the life
mapped out for her. The blind man
would not give up the child but left
town at once.
Another instance of the Federated
Charities good work came I'D a few
days ago when a young man sought
help to Pecos, Texas, stating that he
wanted to go there to live with his
sister and learn the harness makers
trade. The Federated Charities inves-
tigated and found that the young
mans story was false throughout, and
he was thrown on his own resources
On the other hand, the association
daily gives out assistance to worthy
parties in cases where publicity is
not desired. The work is getting thor.
oughly organized and is doing much
good in and for Roswell.

LOOK INTO THE Hat
Baseball Directors Find That They
Have Secured 81, 200 to Start
Season On.
AWAIT VOLUNTARY GIFTS NOW
Manager Tighe Reports at Directors
Dinner That All Players but Scott
have Signed.

The board of baseball directors who,
Rock Island Club last evening by 81
e. Casteel, found that the Rock Island
baseball association was never in bet.
ter condition financially at the start OF
the year than it is at the present
time. There has never been a year
when the directors found at the open-
ing of the season that they could
start the year with a deficit in the
treasury short of $1,000 and some
times it has been considerably more.
This year it would have been consid-
erably more had it not been that the
directors took the bull by the horns
and came out and put the matter be-
fore the people of the city who have
supported baseball in the past and
who could be depended upon to SUP
port it again even in the face of ad-
versityl
The directors confessed that they
were in the neighborhood of 81. 900
shy of the amount that would insure
baseball for the year and asked that
the fans make up the deficit. Then
the committee appointed for that pur-
pose got out and, as it were, passed
around the hat, which, when exam
ined at the meeting last night was
found to be pretty well filed About
$1,000 has already been collected AMI
it is now the intention of the com
mittee to wait for voluntary subscrip-
tons for the greater part of the re-
mainder.
Alive to Importance of Game.
The amount which has already been
raised came so easily that the direc-
tors feel assured that the fans of the
city are fully alive to what is needed
and that it is their intention to see
that the whole amount is forthcom-
ing. Every day someone reproaches
the committeeman for overlooking him
when the hat was passed around and
then he digs into his jeans and in.
sists that he be allowed to contribute
his share.
The examining of the contents oi
the hat which was passed around took
the greater part of the time at the
meeting last evening, but several minor
matters were attended to. The conces
| sions for the selling of refreshments and
! the like at the ball park during tn;
year, have been let to Frank Warner
who had them last year and whose ser
Twice was considered very good
ground keeper will be named later.
Jack Tighe also announced to the
directors that he is in possession y
the signed contract of all the mel
that he has dickered with and thai
| they will be ready to report when h,
| wants them. Jack made one excep
| ton to this statement, as Joe Scot
! has not yet come to time and affixei
his John Henry to a contract 10,
is still of the opinion that he is wort
more than Jack wants to give him, bu

no fears are felt that he will remaiI
