Baseball Fan"
 ] remember being on Chicago street car, says Ellis Parker Butler in Sue cess Magazine. sitting beside nice old lady in mourning a year or so ago. She was nervous and kept glancing at me and then glancing away again. It made me uncomfortable 1 thought she took me for pickpocket or some other bad man. Finally she could con tain herself no longer. She leaned over. Excuse me-" she said, but have you heard yet how the Cubs game came outY
 I hadn't. and her face fell. but in a moment she saw possible opportunity for consolation.
 Well" she asked. "can you tell me who they are putting in the box to- dayT
 How was that for a gray haired grandma?
 In Chicago they all talk baseball from the cradle to the grave Up to o'clock in the afternoon during the baseball season no one talks about any, thing but the game of the day before From o'clock on the only subject is the game that is being played The school child who cannot add two ap- ples plus three apples and make it Eve apples with any certainty of cor rectness can figure out the standing of the Chicago hines with one hand and a pencil that will make a mark only when it is held straight up and down.

Especial from United Press)

Berlin, May 27.-The Prussian fran chise bill, the restrictive measures of which regarding suffrage in Prussia have caused many riots in the last few months, came before the Prus- sian House of Deputies again today for consideration of the amendements adopted by the House of Peers. The bill has lost few of the provisions to which the radicals and socialists ob- jected but. it is believed that it will pass in practically it's present form.
 The bill still provides for a three class system whereby electors are divided according to the taxes they pay.
 Chancellor Bethmann- -Hollweg, in his capacity as Prussian premier. opened the debate on the bill and was followed by the spokesmen of the various party groups. The chan cellor spoke with more energy than he usually exhibits and the opponents of the measure frequently interrupt ed him with jeerS.

ON NATIONAL ISSUES.

When there came n big slump In
tho Republican majority in Vermont
last week. the Republican politicians
told us that il was duo to the fact that
Tuesday was a rainy day. In truth
II was due to the same cause that
sachusetts and New York districts--e
determination to administer rebuke
20 the Republican party for its re-
fusal to keep Its promises and as a
tarirf act that has increased the cost
Of living in every home.
AS soon as the Republicans can
regain their breath, says the Raleigh
that local issues caused the defeat
and that National questions were not
involved. but the character OF the
campaign does not permit them to eI.
plain away the National significance
OF the election. Here Is what Gov.
ernor-elect Plaisted who knows more
about IL than anybody else, says:
Local conditions were not respon-
sible. The people OF Maine voted
on National issues. high prices, con.
troll OF the Republican party in the
interests OF The trusts and Cannon.
ism-all these contributed to our vic
tory. The people of this country are
tired OF Republican misrule."
The Democrats had the active sup
port of the labor organizations. Their
members in all parts of the country
despise Cannon ant Aldrich, they have
no faith in Taft, they have sorely felt
the heavy burden OF the high cost of
living with scant employment and no
increase in wages, and they determin-
ed to vote for change that would
give power TO a party not financially
enriched by the interests" and the
men who prate OF labor during a cam
paign and refuse them just laws af-
ter the election.
The Taft administration has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting" The blow in Maine is but
the first zephyr OF the coming Novem.

Judge Alton b. Parker, Democratic
candidate for President in 1904. took
occasion again TO comment on
the Democratic victory in Maine and
on other matters that appear to him
to look large in the political field of
the day.

THREE YEARS LATE.
A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.

A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.
A train OF a railway system In the
southwest once arrived at its destina-
ton nearly three years late The cir
cumstances were these:
The train left Bolivar. Just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on
Sept. s, 1900. and was caught IN the
great storm that so nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar Is seventy
five miles from Beaumont, which was
tho point OF the trains destination.
Before the train had Travelled far on
It's journey IL was caught IN the storm.
Thirty miles OF the track were washed
away, and the train was left stranded
on sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge in the
train. After tho storm subsidized they
walked 10 Bolivar with the passengers,
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway,
and no effort 10 rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1903. Had not
the road suffered SO seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
81 great value few months later,
when oil was struck az Beaumont. In
1903. however, the road underwent re-
pairs when the train was drawn into
Beaumont, where it was greeted by a
cheering crowd.-New York Press

The Telegraph has been working
overtime trying to make the people
believe that Messrs. Baker and Haw-
ley will do what they say they viii
do. There appears but one reason
lCr this, and tnat is that our morn
ing contemporary is obsessed with
the idea that the people have very
small confidence in the political prom
ises OF either Hawley or Baker, and
that the voters Will receive these prom
ises with some grains OF salt. The
efforts to make the people believe that
Baker and Hawley will keep their
promises is much oyerdone. and is an
admission, to say the least, that the
people are going to be very slow to
rely upon their promises.
