DURING QUARTER CENTURY
OF BASE BALL "DEACON"
HAS NOT BEEN FINED OR
FIRED FROM GAME. - !

Jim Mcclure, who will be in com.
mand of the Cleveland catchers
and pitchers at Mobile, began his
base ball career in 1888, 25 years
ago. He was then 81. and he was
in every back lots game that of
fered opportunity to get into the
spot light. {
MCGUIRE had a chance to shine in
1884, but base ball was fragile
then, and Jim had small chance to
show his worth. He was released
and was signed by the Toledo club
of the American association.
When the season of 1884 ended
Mcclure was transferred to the De-
troit clbu Of the National league.
He was behind the bat in 48 cham
pionship games in 1885, and his
work was so good that Philadelphia
purchased him and he was with
that team in 1886 and 1887.
Mcclure went to Cleveland in
1883, playing with the American as
sociation club. The next year

The king was a slave to work and
business. 1t is a fact that Is min
utes before the operation he dictated
documents relating to certain nego-
tiations and insisted before going un-
der chloroform upon correcting the
typewriter sheets. 1t was his mar
ve,ous intellect and doggedness which
conceived the Congo project. He lost
money at first but emerged rich.
System Worse Than Thought.
"The whole trouble in the Congo"
Senator Winer went on, was that
the system was bad-wOrse than the
king thought. The eternal cry was,
Rubber, and yet more rubber and
it must be remembered that the mill
tary commanders in the Congo had
the double capacity of soldier and
merchant. They had to get rubber.
Nevertheless. many stories of abuses
are absolutely untrue"
The senator championed King Leo
pod as the great benefactor of Bel
GUM He had developed cities and
erected monuments and public build
ings al his own expense. He had sup
ported architecture and advanced the
prosperity of the people. The sem
ator did not say much of the kings
private life. Perhaps, he suggested,
the king had not been a good father
but his character in later life was
explained by his youth which had
been ruled with rcd Of iron by the
Cd king. Stories of the kings gall
lantries, he added, had been absurdiy
eXag gerated.
Sentiment in Brussels has taken
new turn, and the people are heatedly
questioning the position of Baroness
Vaughan in the royal household This
is the result of sensational article
published in the Soir. The paper
charges that Baroness Vaughan was
constantly at the bedside of the king,
even being present when extreme I'M
ction was administered, whereas the
kings daughters and his nephew were
not admitted.
Before the king died the question
was put by the Soir, to Mgr Coore-
man, the venerable royal chaplain,
whether the king had married Baron
ess Vaughan according to provisions
Of the religious ceremony. adding that
Belgium was astonisned and scandal
lied that the church would sanction
the presence Of the woman near the
kings couch when the priest came
on his sacred mission
The chaplain intimated that the
marriage had taken place and said
that his conscience was clear about
his visit to the king. The church's
code of morals, he added, was the
same for the king as for the people,
and, in conclusion, he said, from the
standpoint of the church. the kings
situation is regular"
