THE HIDING OF LENEvE.

While the gaoler at Penonville Jail is still
going around with quick lime on his boots
Ethel Clare Leneve is searching the wide world
for place in which she may begin life anew.
II we're the part of humanity to hope that
she may find 1t: that somewhere. in a big city
or in quiet village, the case may be, Grip
pens companion will find another chance; that
TO woman held up to the scornful pity of the
world, there may yet be, somewhere, the mercy
of oblivion: that in the mellowness of time
there may fade the horror Of her recent ex-
periences. may yet come tinge of that color
and warmth which her folly has all but crushed
out OF her life.
But. sad il is. it ia doubtless true that the
quest of the I.eneve is "A hopeless one For her

MONKEYING WITH POSTAL LAWS.

Postmaster General Hitchcock, having ac-
coinplshed what considered the I'M
possible task of putting the Postotiee Depart
ment upon self-sustaining basis, proposes
to make it pay dividends by modification OF
the once promulgated but thoroughly dtscredit-
ed expedient Of limiting the present classified
lions of second class matter. When the deficit
in the postofdce became so large as to suggest a
scandal II will be recalled that the adminiatra-
lion proposed to raise the postal classification
80 as to take from the second class list al the
magazines and many different sorts of reputable
newspapers and trade journals. Now that the
application of business principles has cut down
the deficit, it is proposed to attempt to pass at
the next Congress bin by which the magazines
will be weighed in two sections. the reading mat
ter to go second class. and the advertising to be
charged at a higher rate.
This is a palpable makeshift. justified neither
b. the exigencies Of the service nor the popular

most of them cost more in actual material than
the price at which they are sold They are
carried and the people are benefited by their ad
instances of much value and interest To

To compel the high grade publications to split VI
their pages for different classification in the
mails could result only. either in injury to the
quality of the publications in raising the
price OF them to the public. BY such policy
the only interest benefited would be that OF the
cheap magazine, whose reputation and value
are not sufficient 10 induce the patronage oi
advertisers.
There is way III which the Postofice Depart
ment may be made to pay a dividend but il
seems far FROM the purpose OF the administra
ton TO attempt to invoke it. That IS by the es
tsbishment of parcels post, whereby the ex
orbitant charges and Indifferent service of ex

ECAN ARRANCES
PRACTICE GAMES
oTTUMWA TEAM WILL REPORT
AT DAVENPORT APRIL FOR
SERIES OF CONTESTS.

Davenport baseball fans will get the
first taste of what Ned Egan's 1910
team in the Central association can do
in the national game, arrangements
having already been made for the OF
tumwa players to report to Egan at
Davenport April 1. A series of four
practice games with the Davenport
Three-Eye team for April 2, 3, and Z.
and three games with the Rock Island
club April a. 6 and 8, have been secur-
ed by Egan. The idea of the Ottumwa
team reporting at Davenport is one
example of the good business manage
ment of Manager Ned Egan, as most
of the players live in the east and
this will cut off the extra railroad
fare necessary if the team reported
here. This information came to Tempo
rary Secretary l.. E. Stevens this
moring in letter from Manager Egan,
who Is wintering in st. Paul. He also
confirmed the trade of Second Base
man Roman to the Dubuque club for
Infielder Airing and substantial
cash consideration. Mr. Egan con.
cludes his letter with wishing the OF.

the compliments of the season.

New York, Dec 3o.-The difficult
problem of properly protecting New
York City in case of war has been the
subject of much study by naval au-
thorities. 1t remained for General Ar
thur Murray, y. S. N, to devise the
latest system. a system that has won
universal praise.
Submarine mines have been planted
under his direction in the deep waters
of the race" at the eastern entrance
of Long Island sound and they will
effectually cut off access to the city
from the big men of war. General
Murray was considered in connection

BIG REDUCTION IN THE MILE
AGE o FTHE CENTRAL AS
ISOLATION NEXT SEASON

The mileage of the Ottumwa club
next season will be only 2,49S miles,
If the schedule which has been sub
mitted to President M. f. Justice is
adopted. Other cities in the circuit
will have similar reduction. The
schedule which has already been re-
ceived shows big reduction in the
mileage as compared with the chart
last season, which was considered 20
be a very good one. The reduction this
season will be about 10000 miles and
is due to the fact that the circuit has
been made more compact with Gales
burg and Monmouth taking the Wat
erloo and Jacksonville franchises.
Only one schedule has been received
to date by President M. e. Justice.
and that has not been submitted to the
directors. The schedule which has
been submitted shows the milegae
will be about 10000 miles less than
last season.
According to the schedule now on
bopd tbo oi0ht o1,,hc will travel az
