Hostetter's Opportunity.

Arthur Hostetter's contract with the Milwaukee (Ameriean asso- ciation) club. it is said by his friends. calls for a s100 fine every time he as much as walks inside of a saloon. Manager McCloskey of the Brewers gave Hostetter his old St. Louis pay, but had the aforesaid clause inserted.
 It's up to Hostetter whether he is to be a minor leaguer for just the coin that is coming to him the coming sea son the chances are that he will be back in the big arena in 1910.

SPECTACULAR FIRE CAUSES
HEAVY LOSSES IN BAY CITY
Postoffice and Adjoining Structures at
San Francisco Much Damaged.
Heroic Work Done

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 13.-A fire
which origianetd in the Mission branch
postoffce station G, on Valencia street,
in this city, at an early hour today
destroyed property estimated to be
worth $4,000 and caused a narrow es-
cape from death of a number Of the

to which the flames from the burning
postoffice were communicated.
Several nearby stores also caught
fire and before the spectacular blaze
was subdued three alarms, to which
twenty engines responded, were turned

The police and firemen worked hero
ically to save the people who lived in
the Mission apartments, and in the
work of rescue several of them suffered
minor injuries.
The entire block on Valencia street
between Twenty-second and Twenty
third, where the fire occurred, is OF
wood, but in spite of this fact the fire
department managed to confine the
conf1agration to a limited area.

Stirling cross suits for divorce counse
for Mr.. Stirling addressed the cour-
on the husbands suit charging that hi.
wife had misconducted herself with
Lord Northland
The lawyer laid great stress on the
intimate acquaintance between Lore
Northland and Mrs. Stirling before hel
marriage, when she was Elizabeth
Taylor.
He said Mrs. Strings letter to Lore
Northland after her husbands discov.
cries clearly involved the admission Of
improper relations and that she re
turned from America not because she
suspected any wrongdoing between
her husband and Mrs. Atherton, bu
because she could not live withou
Lord NOrthIand.
Replying on behalf of Mrs. Stirling
Solicitor General Uro pleaded that hi.
client had been a member of the theat
rical profession, whose standards o.
conduct differed from those of conven
tional society.
She was also an American, he con,
tinued, where the customs were no
the same as in Scotland and where
women of the country went about
with men without chaperones, without
even the suggestion of anything verg.

Mr.. Stirling, the solicitor genera
said, had undoubtedly encouraged Lore
Northland's attention, and had made
no attempt to protect his wifes honor
with the object of securing a divorce
in order that he might marry Mrs
Atherton, who on her part had done
all she could to separate the Strings
The solicitor general admitted thai
Mrs. Stirling had been injudicious. but
he denied that she had been guilty OF
misconduct.
Counsel for Lord Northland then
