A young woman, who has d treach-
erous memory for names. had a droll
experience not long ago.
She had encountered in a railway
station face that seemed familiar
Ito her. She remembered that she had
met the young man at the house of
friend some weeks before. but for
the life of her she could not at all
recollect his name. Finally, however,
when the young man stopped to shake
hands. she asked:
Surely this is Mr.. Tombstone,
whom met at Mrs. Walkers"
The stranger smiled. You're right

but somewhat twisted as to the name

Quincy's Case Stated.

Gentlemen of the board: At
meeting of the National Association
OF Professional Baseball leagues, held
in Chicago recently, a question was
raised before your board of arbitra-
ton which. while it was remanded or
account of the danger of establishing
q precedent, may prove a serious men
zee to the future of organized base.
ball, as subsequent developments have
shown.
This question as a whuie might be
condensed into the simple query:
What constitutes g league or an asso-
citation under the National agreement?
This question probably should be
sub-divided into several articles viz:
fa)-Can league of admittedly
eight cities control territory in nine,
ten or any greater number of cities
that make up such a league or asso-
citation. tThis question, of course does
not contemplate the provision rela-
tive to the FIVE mile limit.
fb)-If a league should contain a
city which has heretofore held an ac-
tive membership with playing club
and that city should refuse 10 con
tinue under any consideration. and the
league should take over the franchise
and fail to provide such city with
baseball under the laws of this organ
ization. could such league continue
to hold such city for an indefinite
term Of years by the payment of the
protection fee as outlined in article
. under the constitution?
(c)-Could any league extend its
territory by the payment of such fees
and claim the cities in which ii failed
10 place clubs?
This question is proposed and fo,.
the purpose Of securing a final de-
cision from the highest authorities in
organized baseball among the minor
leagues.
At the time it was placed before

SIRE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.

We have all heard the saying that
the sire is half the herd. This is liter

bequeathed to the calves the parent
furnishes half, and generally more
The COW influences the character OF
but one calf year; the bull passes
on his personality to many calves, tc
all the calves of herd of ordinary
size. When he is chosen, half the
character of all the calves is deter
mined, thus. his influence is as much
as that of the whole number of cows
taken together in the herd.
If he is of stronger prepotency than
most of the cows, that is, able to
transmit his qualities more surely and
strongly to the progeny, which is
usually the case with a well bred sire
then the bull represents more thar
half the herd. In this case more thar
half the characteristics of the calf. OF
the stronger and predominating hal
comes from the sire, thus he is more
than half.
So the sire may be much more thar
half the herd whether judged by the
strength, quality, or accumulated eff

London Dressmakers Being Put Out
of Business by New Custom of
English Women.

London.-The demand for ready
made gowns in London today is so
great that the small dressmaker COM
plains that she is being crushed out
of existence. According to a report
made by an inspector of factories aid
workshops there has never been a
time when the ready-made clothing In
dustry flourished as at present.
Such clothing can be bought in
shops at all prices from s1.10 to $500.
Most of the cheaper dresses are made
in factories and one style is repro
duced often two hundred times.
AS the ready-made trade incrf .ases
naturally the dress trade, that is, tn
sale of material by the yard, de-
creases and the small dressmaKers
cannot get sufficient work. The con-
venience of entering a shop, seeing
gown, trying ii on and having it sent
home to wear the same day or, if
slight alterations have to be made, the
next day, has proved too alluring for
the London woman and her suburban
sister. Another reason for the exist
ing state of affairs is the fact that the
present style of gown requires very
little fitting. soft folds serve to drapS
the figure and boning and steels are
rare. Naturally the cheapness of the
ready-made dress adds TO it's attrac-
tiVeness.

Hiqh-Priced Biberon.

Ten thousand guineas were given by
c. Wertheimer, at the sale of the late
Baron Schroeder's collection at Chris
ties a few days ago, for a sixteenth
century biberon of carved rock crystal
mounted with enameled geld. 1t is
made in imitation of some tabled mon-
ster which its designer may have ina
gined to be sea serpent, but the body

resembles more closely that of water
fowl. The crystal neck and body Is
mounted with enameled gold, and Is
poised like a wineglass on crystal
stem, also mounted very beautifully
in gold and enamel. The lid Of the
biberon is surmounted by a statuette
in enamel of Neptune sitting astride a
Triton, and in this, as in every other
portion of the decoration, the work Is
of indispensable delicacy. 1t is thought
to have come from the hands of Daniel
Mignot of Augsburg, who made 1T for

CATS MEAT

were something unclean and revolt
ing"
THE usual amount" said Doctor
Thomas, expended by each customer
for cats meat in this borough is
farthing to halfpenny. Only ten pur-
veyors had sold a pound of cats meat
(which costs four or five cents) at a
time, and then it was to neighboring
tradesmen, who were known TO keep
dogs. Three purveyors only sold four
penny-worth at time, and the buyers
were we'll known to them, and kept
big dogs"
If there were any foundation for the
statement that poor people eat horse
flesh. the sale of cat meat would have
increased with the increase of ul1em-
ployment and poverty, but it is not
so. In every part of the borough there
has been decrease. but the decrease
has been most marked in that part in
which unemployment mostly prevails.
II was stated in newspaper that in
Whitechapel. within a short distance
of Aldgate station, there are several
shops where horsefiesh is sold for hui
man food. Doctor Thomas states that
there are only three cats meat shops
in the whole of the Whitechapel dis
trict, and there is less cats meat sold
in this district than in any other part
of the borough.
At two shops near the docks Doctor
Thomas was told that sometimes for
eign sailors asked to be served with
cats meat. stating that they know it
is horseflesh, and that they have been
accustomed to eat it abroad. They
