JOHNNY Killing HAS
REPORTED TO CUBS

CHICAGO Special-"Noisy"J John
King arrived in Chicago yesterday
from Kansas City and reported to
Manager Chance at the ball park in
the afternoon. King saw all the play
ers. but failed TO get together with
the officials of the club. He passed
the usual greeting with President Muir
ply and shook hands with Manager
Chance. He did not even make an
appointment with the West Side boss
eS for a future meeting.
To his PLAY or friends King said he
was here for good. lie admitted that
he would keep his enga gcmcnt with
the American Music Hall for this
week, but would report to the mana
ger every day and would leave with
the club when it went to Pittsburg.
Both Murphy and Chance refused
TO talk of the matter. They said they
had nothing TO give out. for they did
not know set what Killing was going
to do.
King looks to be in fine shape. He
says that he has been working out
with the professional clubs at
Kansas City, and is in as good shape
right now as if he had been on a
spring training trip. He says that it
is up to Manager Chance as to when
he will get into the game with the
Cubs. He would not say whether or
not he had paid his fine.

TRAPPIST MONKS ARE
PLEDGED TO ETERNAL SIIENOE

The Trappist Monastery at Marian
hill, South Africa, is a German CEN
ter. The community consists of the
fathers and the brothers. The fathers
wear white serge habits tied with
ropes and are tOnsured. Their vows
are for life. and one Of them is that of
everlasting silence. IL can only be
broken by special dispensation from
Rome. The vows of the brothers are
for life, but their rules are less strict
than those of the fathers, and they
are not pledged to eternal silence.
Their habits are of coarse brown serge
with rope girdles, and they wear san
dals. They do all the work of the
monastery i'm and OUT Of doors. and
ply the trades practiced i'm the va
rious shops on the Settlement-bOok-
binding, printing. engineering. sad
dlerN tannerN, mill work, bakery, ana
so on. The monastery is entirely self
contained. and manufactures every
thing il consumes. The wool from the
Sleeps backs is transferred to those
of the mOnkS-milled, carded. and WO-
ven within the monastery gates. Out
side orders, from Durham and else
where, are also fulfilled in the Vari-
Gus departments, and the moneys so
earned are devoted to the up-kecp OF
the settlement.
The monastery is virtually a mission
for the instruction and conversion TO
the Roman Catholic faith OF young
KatIir boys and girls. In this work
the monks are aided by "A community
of German nuns, the Sisters of the
Bleeding Heart, who are located in a
convent on the settlement. with a
Mother Superior. but are not recog-
nized by Rome as an integral branch
Of the monastery. Their cooperation
however, is evidently regarded with
favor at headquarters, and, consider
ing the class of work undertaken 10y
the mission, their services could hard
ly be dispensed with. They teach all
kinds of needlework, lacemaking
spinning, weaving, and so forth. as
we'll as household work. to the Kafiir
girls in the schools, which are entirely
separate and apart from those OF the
