1t is true that Wagner did not play up

because he seemed more interested IN tne

Within a few weeks Manager McAleer

that he will visit here before going south

the annual meeting of the league is held.
McAIeer has decided to have his team
train in an inland city. He does not want
to be near the water. He blamed his
teams poor start in the last race to the
fact that it lacked condition as result
of having trained in a constant wind at
Norfolk, which made it impossible for
the players to work a sweat up. 1t was
several weeks after the season opened
before the players began to show their
real form, and the setback in the early
games unquestionably cost the Nationals
several higher positions in the race.

for being good, and in the final ana
lysis no man in Boston can give any
good excuse for being anything else
than good or at least respectable.
One more point of interest IN the
culinary department. 1t is easier to
get fed in Boston than in any other
large city the writer has ever visited.
There is an untold multitude of res
taurant and eating shops that are
anxious to accommodate the hungry
man. The most interesting place of
this kind is called the California
Cafeteria. You walk into the room,
pick up a tray which mas on it a
napkin and knife, FORK and spoons.
Then you pass along the counter
where you call for meat, potatoes,
bread, pie, cake, coffee and water and
whatever else you wish. Next you
pass a desk and clerk crops check
with the amount of your meal, upon
the tray and you place your tray
upon table and eat In passing out
you must pass the cashier where you
pay up. There are no walters, so you
do not have to tip. Men are hired
/ to remove the dishes. The plan is
novel and entertaining.
Historically, Boston is in a class by
itself Almost every foot of ground
is sacred to the memory of some
great soul who did some good to man

To the Globe:
There are so many points and mat
tiers of interest around Boston that
it is almost impossible to pass them
over without some expression. In
fact, in some respects, Boston is the
most interesting spot on this CONT
nent at least so the Bostonians think
Some of these points are historical
some social, some economic and some
political
Politically, Boston is a puzzle to
the visitor. Elections come so fast
and furiously that the stranger is
amazed and the candidates Of the op.
posing parties, according to the cam
paign speeches and documents, are
the most wonderfully and fearfully
made men in all Gods creation His
friends call their candidate an an
gel and genius, while the opponents
call him the incarnation of all the
stuff of which failure and destruc-
tion are wrought.
From the standpoint of the black
man politics is ever a turmoil, but
on the whole, the Boston Negro, po-
litically, is about as pronounced aud
as independent as can be found any
where; and be it said to his credit
that his political course is wise, for
the office-seeker certainly cannot
wholly ignore him with any degree
of political safety.
They handle the liquor, or rather
the saloon question in peculiar way.
No man can go into saloon in that
city expecting to be hid, unless he
hides behind another man, for there
are no curtains or screens. Drinking is
done in the open and above board
Any body and every body who enters
a saloon in "Beantown'' Is in the

does not seem to interfere with the

SPEEDING AUTO SKIDS
INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN
Retired Sonoma Merchant Compelled to Swim Ashore

found himself running races with re-
firing wave. Whereupon ne did things
to clutches and brakes. but before he
could bring it to a stop the sea was
up to the wheel tops and the waves
were merrily breaking over him. He
hung on shouting for help and trying
to toot his horn. But the shouts were
not heard and the Pacific ocean enter
ing the horn, his frantic squeezings
brought forth no other sound than a
ghostly gurgle.
Cold, numbed. sad and peevish
Weems sat still while the beautiful sea
washed him fore and aft. but as the
succeeding waves grew stronger and
there was likelihood of being washed
out of his seat, he decided to drop over
board and swim. While he hung ball
anced on the edge of the car cogitating
wave settled his doubts by cowardly
sneaking up from behind. hitting him a
slap on the back and hurting him on
ward. He found himself in a whirlpool,
and gasping. fighting, swimming, sue
ceeded in making shore. The automo-
bile was rescued later.
