sentenced to the reform school II they
should again digress, they were dis
charged.

A Hebrew wearing a growth ol spinach that would make Kern, oi Indiana, green with envy, strolled into a downtown thirst cure and took a place at the bar near where several gay young men were laughing and joking.

BURNED ID DEATH
 IN MESA CITY FIRE
chappo, a WeIl-known Mexican, Lit eraIIy lneinersted.

A fire in Mesa City last night de- stroyed a frame building heretofore used as a cement warehouse, burning up a Mexican known about the town by the name of Chappo.
 The building stood on the west of the new concrete block built b. Dr. A. J. Chandler, and was vacant ex- cept for what cement may have been left in it and such other accumula- tions as might be found in an empty house adjacent to new structure.

known character about the town, who had spent the two preceding nights in
 jail. He was in the habit of sleeping wherever he found himself at night,
 and it is supposed he went into the building to sleep last night, perhaps
 in an intoxicated condition, and acci-
 dentally set fire to it, probably light ing a cigarette.
 The poor fellows heart-rending cries were heard, but only after the fire had so far advanced that he could not be reached from it. When the fire was finally extinguished, his
 body was found with both arms burned off and most of his flesh burned. The head, however, was not so badly burned but that the iden- tity of the Mexican was disclosed.

Silence.

Silence is a language understood in every country. -,---
 Were silence to be enforced on all of us for a single day, the fools would go mad. The wise would talk less thereafter.
 Silence. in the shallow man, means that he is out of breath.
 A man is known by the silence he keeps.
 A silent man may not be tlrinking; but the burden of proof is not on him. To be silent in company. is to invite the suspicion that you have some-' thing on your mind." The reason is obvious-Life.

A young couple entered railway carriage, and were immediately put down as a bridal pair. But they were remarkably self possessed, and behav- ed with such sangfroid that the other passengers began to doubt.

 But even that did not effect the youth. who also smiled. and, turning to his partner, remarked audibly By love, May! I've stolen the bride groom's overcoat!"-Boston Herald.

key, owner of the club. The omcial
notification of the appointment was
no surprise to the catcher. because
he has been acting manager Of the
Sox regular squad on the spring
training trip and knew that he would
succeed Fielder Jones II the latter
would not return to the team. Jones
wrote to President Comiskey few
days ago his final refusal to play ball
this year.

Sullivan Is a native Of Wisconsin
and his earthly career began In the
town Of Oakland in that state On Feb.
LIST, 1875. His family moved to Fort
Atkinson, and while. attending the
high school there Sully started his
development as diamond star Is .
member of the school nine. His de-
sire was to shine as an infielder. and
he played shortstop until an accident
left his team without 4 catcher one
day. Without any previous expert.

found 1t was his natural position.
His work behind the bat for that

ager, and he was made its regular
catcher. Afterward he caught for the
Independent team in Edgewater. Wis.
Up to 1897 Sullivan was unheard of
except in his own part of Wisconsin.
but in that year Joe Cantillon, now
manager of the Washington team.
signed the youngster for the Dubuque
club. Of which Joe then was manager.
Cantillon did not keep Sullivan long
for In the following year, 1898, he
was drafted to the Columbus club of
the then Western league. and when
that franchise was transferred to
Grand Rapids Sullivan went along
with 1t. At the close Of the following
year Sullivan was sold to the Boston
club Of the National league. He
caught a few games there in the fall
of 1899, and was with that team dur
ing 1900. When the war broke out
between the National and American
leagues in 1901 Sullivan was one of
the first men Comiskey went after.
He not only secured his services. but
won his loyalty and all offers. how
ever tempting. were turned down dur
ing the war period.
Since he became major Lacquer
Sullivan has caught total of 853
games and in the last five seasons he
has caught SOS games. an average of
more than 100 a season. When he
became a member of the Boston Ma
tionals in the fall of 1899 he caught
20 games before the seasons finish.
His record since then follows:

1t il probable that all four teams
that trained in Texas will be back

the only one that at present seems
fully satisfied to stand pat on re-
petition Of its 1909 arrangements.
San Antonio suited Jennings and

favor Dallas somewhat for various
reasons. For one. there are good
hotel accommodations. and the dia-
mand is the best in Texas. Cantillon
will return to the state, but may shift
from Galveston. McAleer hasn't said
whether or not he will make Houston

CARDS the town as one OF the best in
Texas. This spring the team was both
cred somewhat by wind that blew
nearly every day, and hampered more
by a bad infield. 1t was hard and
rutty. and the innelders couldn't be
given all of the work that they need
