FOR INTERLEAGUE GAMES.
Hermann of Cincinnati to Renew
His Advocacy of the Plan.

CINCINNATI, November 22.-Chairman
Hermann of the national commission has
renewed his advocacy of an interleague
series, which idea was turned down by
the officials of both the National and
American leagues a short time ago. Garry
says he knows the plan will be good one
and that he is going to keep on advocat-
ing until it is adopted.
1.-THE national commission will hold a
meeting in Cincinnati within tine next few
days." said Hermann last night, land l
shall then propose the matter to Ban
Johnson. If he thinks sufficiently we'll of
it to have his league take up the question
We will do so. I'll bring it up myself at
the meeting of the National League Off
Gals in New York in December.
"AH club owners have found that inter-
est in the league races begins to wane
shortly after Labor day, and that the last
month OF the season brings in just
enough money to meet expenses. A series
between the two leagues at this time
would cause an unusual interest among
the fans and would be profitable to the
club owners l would not have these
games interfere with the worlds series,
of course, in order to decide the worlds
championship there would be series be-
tween the teams finishing first in the
respective leagues.

PITTSBURG MAY BID
FOR GREAT BATTLE

PlTTSBURG, Pa, November 22.-Local
politicians close to the powers that be
have decided that they wish to hold the
battle in Pittsburg, and
after sounding the legal authorities of
the state are convinced that they can
hold the fight at Forbes Field, the mil
lion-dollar home of the Pittsburg base
ball club, without interference from the
police, county or state authorities. At an
informal meeting of the biggest poll
ticians in this end of the state Saturday
night it was practically decided to send
Buck Cornelius, the leading sporting man
of Pittsburg, to New York December l.,
empowering him to offer guarantee of
100000 for the battle or 80 per cent of
the gross receipts. which it is estimated
would reach 100000.
1t is understood that Gov. Stuart has
been sounded upon the proposition. and
he has been quoted as saying that he
would not interfere If there was no OBJ
lection from the residents of Pittsburg.
Besides this. members Of the legislature
have been sounded and if necessary there
will be an enactment during the first
days of the legislature changing the law
SO the fight might be held here.
At present ten-round bouts are permit
ted in Pennsylvania. Should the poll
ticans and Cornelius be successful-and
it is likely they will be, as the present
officehOlders are under obligations to the
men who wish to promote the champion
ship battle-Pittsburg will become one of
the greatest fight centers in the country.

BASE BALL NOTES.

In selling the control of the Baltimore
club Edward Hanlon retires from base
ball with a memorable record. More
than twenty years ago he was captain of
the Detroit worlds champions and after

winning pennants with the Baltimores
and BrooklynS. HanlOn received as
much as $4,000 in salary for seasons
work when in his prime and by judicOus
investments in real estate he succeeded
in building up fortune which will en-
able him to enjoy life in comfort the rest
of his days.
1t is an interesting fact that Ty Cobb
signed a Detroit contract for next year
Immediately after the worlds series with
out knowing what his salary would be.
Cobb says that. having unbounded faith
in President Navin, he left the question
entirely to his employers judgment. In
recognition of Cobb's splendid ball play
took the young mans breath away, and
since then they have been praising each
other to the skies.

other by fearful machines which is the object of this Peace society'
 "I congratulate the president and those gentlemen who are associated with him in doing this good work, and it affords me great qualification to take humble part in the meeting of this congress.
 "lt must be remembered that in no lperiod of human history has commerce reached such gigantic proportions as at present. The marked advance in transportation facilities by the inven- tions of the last century has caused international trade to become fea. ture of current history. The applica. tion of steam and electricity, both on land and on the sea, have revolution ized methods of trade and travel. Not long ago 1,500 tons of pig iron from the Hamyang Steel & Iron works, which are in the central part of China, tray clled 600 miles down the Yangtsee riv- 'er and l4,000 miles by sea and were laid down in Brooklyn, N. Y., at $l7.50 per ton. The terminus of the longest railway in the world is at Picking, and it is possible to travel today on an un. broken road from the interior of my country to Paris, France. These facts alone are enough to show that nations are 'interdependent, and should have friendly relations with each other. No nation nowadays should wantonly de- clare war, because the commercial in- terests of the world $ nations are too valuable to be jeopardized by such ac' tion.
 ''In conclusion I would add that our attitude on this question cannot be bet ter expressed, think, than by quota, ton from Sir Robert Hart, who has been half century in China. He says:
 "The Chinese believe in right as firm ly that they scorn to think it requires to be supported or enforced by might. !" In short, we believe that right makes might, and l am sanguine enough to be. lieve that the whole world is coming around to adopt that view, which is em- inently the right one.
 Representing as I do, therefore, a nation peacable by nature and choice, taught from our infancy to abhor vio- lence, and reverence right and reason, to worship literary and industrial pur. suits, and to neglect and despise mar tial vain glory. l am very happy, I repeat, to bring to you this afternoon the greetings of my countrymen."

LETTING OUR BABIES DIE

There were 26,503 deaths of infants under one year of age in New York City last year and there were 4,500 in one summer month, and the other cities of the world show practically the same figures in proportion to population. The number of deaths of babies under one year of age is greater than the number of deaths from any other single cause or disease the world over.
 The National government of the United States spends $7,O0O,OOO on plant and animal health every year and hundreds of thousands fighting beetles and potato bugs, but not one cent to aid the six million babies that will die under two years of age during the next census period while mothers sit by and watch in utter helplessness.-- Mrs. Arnoldi, in "Uncle Sam's Maga- zine.''

THE COST OF A RIOT

In one of the railroad strikes in 1877, the vicious element which always makes such occasions the opportunity y for footing and burning so far got the upper hand that liquor and cigar stores were broken into and sacked Shops were footed. Railroad cars and houses were burned. About 2,000 freight ears were destroyed. On that occasion the .railroad Snd express companies lost ten million of dollars as a result of the rioting. Other strikes resulted and other mobs did similar damage. It is estimated that the damage done to property and in the obstruction of com merce during the period referred to would maintain an efficient National Guard in all the states affected for fifty years.-Captain o'Ryan in "Un- cle Sam's Magazine.

WASHINGTON, D.

To supply the need civil service examination was held today. Since the museum business is not very profitable these days it was expected tha no difficulty would be en- countered in finding a living skeleton willing to accept the job at salary of $900 to $l200 year.
 All the incumbent will be required to do to earn his money will be to remain as thin as the salary demands, squeeze himself into odd hooks and crannes of the car, when occasion arises, to in sure the preceding of fruit swedged in remote recesses, and demonstrate that he has an intimate knowledge of re- friegerating machinery.

Widow of the Great Napoleon Celebrates
 Her Birthday

Tso careful did mother and daughter play their game, that Napoleon, who had in the meantime become emperor, married the young adventures, contrary to the advice of his ministers.
 The marriage took place on January 29, 1853. The French people were full of enthusiasm over the romance of the alliance and idolized the beautiful young woman who shared the throne. A brilliant time began for the gayest of all European courts and for many years Eugenie was the most envied and most talked.of woman in the world. But, not satisfied with her triumphs as woman, she became possessed with a consuming ambition for political pow. CT. Her attempts to gratify this ambi- tion led to serious and disastrous conse- quences, disastrous not only to France, but for the ambitious empress.
 The fall of Sedan, the Imprisonment of Napoleon and the siege of Paris were followed by the terrible days of the commune. Eugenie, no longer the idol of her people, made her escape from Paris and France only with great d'f- fculty, under the protection of Dr. Evans, an American dentist, and reach. cd England, fugitive, without coun- try, and shorn of all her greatness. Only her banished husband and son re- mained to her. Napoleon died soon thereafter at Chislehurst and a few years later her beloved son was killed fighting for the English in South Af- rica.

LONDON, May .5.--Ex- Empress Flu. genie, widow of the last Napoleon who sat upon the imperial throne of France, is celebrating her e'ghty-third birthday today, old, broken in health and spirit and chastened by the misfortunes which befell her after brief but highly sen. sational and extremely brilliant career. Few women can look back upon experi- ences so varied and full of contrasts as the now old and feeble ex-empress of the French. Few women ever rose from comparative obscurity to high and commanding position of honor in so short time and survived their fall, to drain to the bitter dregs the cup of dis appointment, regret and repentance.
 Eugenie's career was in many re- spects phenomenal. Born in Granada, Spain, on May 5, 1926, Eugenie de Montijoj was the product of peculiar racial mixture. Her father, the Count de Montijo, was Spanish grandee, who traced his lineage to the early Spanish kings, while her mother was Kirk patrick of Scotch-Irish stock. Her mother was an extremely clever and cunning adventures and it was due as much to her seheming and careful lay ing of plans as to her daughter s beauty and brilliancy that Eugenie succeeded not only in winning the love of Prince Louis Napoleon, then president of the Second republic, but in bringing him to complete surrender. It was well known that Napoleon's intentions at first were far from being honorable, but
