WOMAN TRAIL BLAZER.
Exploit Of Mrs. James A. Cruikshank
In the White Mountains.


In the White Mountains.
A slender little woman-Mrs. James
A. Cruikshank of New York-recently
completed feat which no one Of the
many mountaineers who have for years
explored the White mountains has ever
attempted-the blazing Of new and
easily accessible trail from Mount
Field to Mount Wiley, according to a
dispatch from Breton Woods. N. H.
Accompanied by her husband. who
was always in the rear and only pres
ent as guard, Mrs. Cruikshank
walked, crawled or climbed over fif-
teen miles of heavily wooded mountain
country, three miles Of which had
never been invaded previously and
most of which was such as to test the
powers of the most experienced of
mountaineers.
Although Mount Field and Mount
Wiley were already the terminals Of
trails from other mountains, they have
never been connected by path until
the other night.
Mrs. Cruikshank holds record for
mountain climbing in Canada.

SDipshod English.

Here are some specimens Of verH
common errors:
Admit for confess. To admit Is to
concede something affirmed. An un-
accused offender cannot admit hiD
guilt.
Adopt. HE adopted q disguise"
One may adopt child or an opinion,
but disguise Is assumed.
Aggravate for irritate. He aggra-
waited me by his insolence." To aggra.
vate is to augment the disagreeable-
ness of something already disagree
able or the badness Of something bad.
But person cannot be aggravated.
even If disagreeable or bad.

GREAT BASEBALL ENTHUSIAST
Career Of Harry c. Pulliam, Late Ma
tional League President.

Career Of Harry G. Pulliam, Late Ma
tienal League President.
Harry Clay Pulliam. president of the
National League Of Professional Base
ball Clubs, who recently died in New
York by shooting himself. was born in
Scottsville, Ky, thirty-nine years ago,
and soon after finishing his college
course he went to Louisville to take
up newspaper work. He served part
Of the time in the capacity Of city
editor, but was also interested in base
ball. In 1898 he resigned as city ed
1tor of the Louisville Commercial to
accept the presidency of the Louisville
club. Prior to that he had served a
year in the Kentucky legislature
In Louisville Pulliam formed the &C.
quaintance Of Barney Dreyfuss, now
the owner Of the Pittsburg club. They
were associated in baseball for a num-
Der of years in Louisville and Pitts
burg. Dreyfuss became president Of
the Louisville club, and Pulliam be-
came his secretary and treasurer
When Dreyfuss got hold of the Pitts
burg club and transferred his players
there he took Pulliam with him.
One of Pulliam's greatest "discov-
cries" in baseball was finding Hans
Wagner, the best player in the game
today. Wagner was playing in Pater-
son, N. j., at the time, and Pulliam
went there on the recommendation Of
q friend and looked Wagner over. He
signed him to contract and took him
to Louisville.
Pulliam stayed with the Pittsburg
club until 1902, when he was elected
president Of the National league, sue.
ceeding N. E. Young. About the time
of his accession to the presidency
peace was brought about between the
National league and the American
league, which had been at war;
Pulliam proved to be an energetic
official for the National league and
with considerable executive ability.
During his regime many vexatious
problems have arisen, and he always
was active and conscientious in dealing
with such matters. He was anything
but figurehead president. One of
the hardest problems he had to deal
with was the famous New York Chi
cago game of last year, which ended
In row at the Polo grounds in New
York and was afterward played over
on the order Of the board of directors.
Once or twice efforts were made at
the league annual meetings to GUST Pull
liam from the presidency, his admins
tration not suiting all hands, but he
had too strong support among the mag
mates, and the opposition to him dwin-
died away. He was high strung and
plain spoken, but impartial, and his
honesty of purpose always has been
recognized.
While he was in Office the National
league came to enjoy greater prosper,
ity than it ever had before, the exist
ence Of two big leagues operating I'M
der a peace compact being partly re-
sponsible for the prosperity. Some of
1t, however, was due to his own efforts
for the welfare of the game. He al
ways had been stickler for having
his umpires treated with the respect
he considered was due them and stuck
to his umpires through thick and thin
