A CHANCE FOR THE HAGUE.

The Hague International Court Of
Arbitration is fooling away its time
with nothing to do, when great lot OF
disputes might satisfactorily occupy
its attention. There is the trouble be-
tween Bolivia and Peru, for instance,
which certainly admits of settlement
by arbitration. Bolivia has no sea-
coast and is anxious to reach the
ocean. That country casts longing
eyes on Peru's riparian boundary, and
there are those who fear that she
seeks a pretext to go to war with that
country and seize maritime province,
or else exact one as an indemnity. The
attitude of Chile in this case is
watched with solicitude, for If the lat
ter country should lend assistance to
Bolivia Peru would probably have to
submit The only ground for dispute
at present appears to be alleged dis
satisfaction of Bolivia over the Argen-
tine award, which was favorable to
Peru, but as this was the result Of ar
bitration it is too small an affair to
go to war about. Bolivia would lay
herself open to severe condemnation
If she began hostilities on a trumped-
up cause, but considerations OF this
character have not always deferred
Spanish-American republics from
seeking their own ends.

ALL RECORDS BROKE
4s,o15 PEOPLE WE'RE PRESENT ON
CLOSING DAY OF MINNIE
sofa EXPOSITION.
FREE LIST is CUT TO $4,000
Automobiles Save Record by Swelling
Saturdays crowds-Profit About
100000 With $4,000
Balance Lett.

Hamline. Minn.-Automobile day
saved the state fair records, and the
entire credit is due to the loyal man
ner in which the automobilists coop
crate with the management to make
the day a success. Minneapolis and
st. Paul fell down in holding up their
records, and on Friday night the at
tendance figures were 10000 behind
the mark set by the first five days of
the 1908 fair.
1t was up to the automobiles to
make up these figures and save the
record Although the attendance on
Saturday was large, none of the fair
officials came within 5000 admissions
of reaching the total for the day. AS
late as midnight Saturday the superin-
tendent of gates gave the estimate for
the day as only $4,000, basing the fig
ures on the turnstfle count at p. m.
This left the weeks attendance nearly
1000 below the record for 1908.
Superintendent Is Surprised.
When Leslie G. Fuller, auditor for
the superintendent of gates had
checked up all the automobiles who
had gone through the horse gates in
their cars the attendance for the day
was swelled to 48,015.
This made the total attendance for
the week 32S,678, compared with 1885,
743, the total for the previous fair
an increase of about 1000 AS the
fair management had cut down the
free list from 1854 to about $4,000,
the record is entirely satisfactory to
the managers, as the number of paid
admissions increased about $4,000.
The grandstand admissions rose
from 152,245 in 1908 to 154,356 for this
year, thereby materially increasing the
receipts of the fair. The grandstand
last week paid net dividend of more
than 10 per cent on it's cost.
Surplus Gets $4,000.
1t will not be possible to obtain
complete financial report for several
days, but the profits are approximately
estimated at 100000. The surplus
will not be as large as usual on &C
count of the great expense in complet-
ing the grandstand, constructing the
farm implements buildings, and the
cost of the work on the lagoons and
various other improvements. The
managers expect to carry about $685.
600 over for next years fair.

A man in Wisconsin has such pas
sion for hard manual labor that to
crafty it he has forsaken a lucrative
law practice. 1t is significant of this
type of desire that his friends think
his mind unbalanced. Were the world
generally subject to this desire for
hard work. life would be halcyonic in
it's contentment, and certain gentle
man, proverbial for looking after the
lazy contingent, would have to go out

How Ships Dispose of Ashes.

A good many of the steamships still
employ the old method of hosting the
ashes from the boilers to the decks
above and dumping them overheard;
others mix the ashes with water and

Objectionable to passengers, especially
when the wind is blowing in the wrong

that he Murphy would be glad TO hear

mated that ne might buy the best on
the market and thereby help Berry to
avoid the inevitable draft.
Berry answered that Orendorff was
about the best-loolting proposition he
had. but Murphy Immediately replied

TOLEDO, Ohio, oct. 24-There is a
strong runsor floating around in base
bail circles here today TO the effect that
President William Armour has opened
negotiations to secure Tommy Leach,
the crack center fielder of the Pitts
burg Nationals, TO succeed Sox Seybold
as manager of the local club in 1910
The rumor even goes farther TO state,
that Leach is demanding 3 salary of
s., 500 10 look after the local club. This
appears to be rather a steep figure. bur
the local fans figure that If Armour
could secure the player at this figure
he would have d great bargain as Leach
would not only manage the local club.
but would also play in one Of the gar
dens, thus proving of double strength.
II IS figured here that Leach may be
able TO get away from Pittsburg. It is
said that Fred Clarke would like to give
Leach a chance TO pluck managerial

PRINCETON. n. J., oct 4.-With the

remaining on its schedule. the Princeton
football team faces the most rigorous
three weeks of its seasons training and
the three hardest games of the year.
The varsity men are now nearly all
chosen, and it remains only to put them
through series Of long scrimmages to-
gether, calculated to develop their work
as a team and inject that most impor-
tant quality. endurance, into their play.
The coaches this year have selected as
the men TO meet Yale those of the quick,
active, aggressive type, placing these
qualities ahead Of weight even on the
line. II is significant that in the last
two years Yale has found Princeton s
weakness not ip the line, through which
her mass plays made little progress, but

open plays, such as punts, forward
passes and Onside kicks
