said on good authority that Mir. Brush volunteered Mathewson the ad. vance in salary.
 The highest price ever paid a player up to this time was $1O,OOO t is generally known that Fred Clarke, Hans Wagner and Tommy Leach, of Pittsburg, were paid s1O,- 100, and that the same money was eceived by Christy Mathewson. Ty Cobb gets in the neighborhood of
 1000. Hans Wagner received S10,- lOO for several years and 1t may be news to the public to know that the jig increase in his salary, which was rade seven years ago, was paid for five
 ears by the National League. At hat time the war was on and the lma rican League tried every way possible to get Wagner as an attrac- ion. The Pittsburg club was not tble then to pay the big increase md the National League directors, t is understood. met and agre ed to pay the difference so as to keep the fig German in the league as a draw ng attraction.
 Wagner and Mathewson are the .wo big drawing attractions of the National League, while in the Amer can the crowds turn out to see Ty Cobb, Lajoie and Hal Chase. Until he became manager of the Cleveland club, LajOie received salary of T,500

 UNDER OAK
FAMOUS RUSSIAN IS LAID TO REST WITH VERY SIM.
 PILE CEREMONY.

HULA, Russia. Nov. 22. - Through put the night and during the early lours of toaay, special trains arriv- ed at funeral court of Count Leo rolstoy. Students of Moscow oc- eupied 23 coaches.
 Following Count Tolstoy's written request, his grave has been made under Poverty Oak,' "in the spot where in childhood, he buried a green rocking horse" This reference was b an episode in the early life of TOlstoy and his brothers, who, with childish rites, consigned to he earth hobby horse, in the belief that when it was disirterred a reign of happiness would be inaug- urated
 The novilist often referred to this disposition of his body and in directions left specified explicitly that the ceremony incident thereto should be 'of the simplest, with out the rites of the orthodox church" |"
 The special train bearing the body from Astapova arrived at the Zaseika station this morning. The funeral party was met by throngs of mourning peasants, who, since daylight, had been vending their way thither from the surrounding countryside. According to the Rus sian custom Tolstoy's sons were the bearers and carried the casket on heir shoulders. The way was lined with mCurners.
 Leo Nikolaivitch, the memory of your goodness will never fade from he minds of the orphaned peas ants" Thus were the banners in scribed and carried by the march ing peasants.
 Following the peasants were two students choirs chanting memorial hymns and four carriages filled with wreaths. Then came the sons trudg- ing slowly under the weight of he casket. The countess and others of the family followed the bier afoot.
 Arriving at the house the casket was borne within ana placed on a ratafalnue erected in the authors

the very much astounded Bin.
 For a moment, thoroughly incred- ulous. Bin refused to believe 1t. un- til a secCnd demonstration compelled him to acknowledge that the great Ricardo actually meant threatening things toward himself. When this conviction forced its way upol him, Bin calmly reached out, and. seized Signor Ricardo by the forearm of the hand which held the knife. With his unengaged hand Biff then smack ed the Signor Ricardo right severe ly on the wrist.
 You don't mean it. you know. Signor Garlic" he calmly observed. If | thought you did I'd smack you on both wrists. Why, you red bal loon, I aint afraid of any mutt on earth that carries a knife like that. as long as I got my back to the wall"
 Still holding the putty-like Signor by the forearm. he delicately ab- stracted from his clasp the huge knife, and, folding it up gravely, handed it back to him: then deliber-

 Why, whats the trouble be- tween you and the landlady now?" inquired Bungler's roommate, anxi- ously.
 Well, you see, she sewed a suspender button on my trousers for me this morning, and when she got through ali l said was. Thanks; I'll do as much for you some time and I'm blamed if she didn't haul off and knocked me clear across the room-kerZip!- maybe I'm a bit slow, but I've been wondering ever since what the dickens it was she got so mad about"

nat Ntth ScdSoll oI E anu opera" was an unqualified success following closely the lines laid down by the experienced MT Spratt Caravaggio and Ricardo and Phil ippi and Vrlenauve became house hold words, and for the balance of the week shining carriages rolled up to the entrance of the Orpheum. disgorging load after load of high halted gentlemen and long-plumed ladies. Before the end of the en- gagement it was definitely known that Bobby's investment would yield profit. even deducting for the week of idleness during which he had been compelled to support the company. The powers of darkness thereupon got vigorously to work upon him to carry the company on through the rest of it's season.
 It was then that the storm broke, Against his going further with the company Agnes Elliston interposed an objection so decided and so un flattering that the entente cordiale at the Elliston home was strained dangerously near to the breaking point, and in this she was aided and abetted by Aunt Constance, who ridiculed him, and by Uncle Dan Elliston. who took him confidential ly aside for grave and hard-head- ed remonstrance. Chalmers, his lawyer, Johnson, his fathers old bookkeeper. and Applerod, his fath- CTS old office factotum, wrestled with him in spirit; his friends at the Idlers' Club "guyed" him unmerci- fully, and even Biff Bates, though his support was earnestly sought by the Signorina Caravaggio, also counseled him roundly against it., Through 1t all Bobby was made to had proposed to eat peck of green apples and then go in swimming in dog days; which was not quite the way to handle this decidedly inde- pendent young gentleman. Another note from his father, handed to him by the faithful and worried Johnson, was the deciding straw:
 TO MY SON ROBERT, ABOUT
 THAT THEATRICAL VENTURE
 When man who knows noth-
 ing of the business backs
 show, tLere usually is woman
 at the bottom of it-and that
 kind of woman is mostly rank
 poison to normal man, even
 if she is good woman. No
 butterfly ever goes back into
 it's chrysalis and ever becomes
 grub again. Let birds of a
 feather flock together, Bobby.
 That unfortunate missive, for once shooting so wide the mark, pushed Bobby over the edge. There was streak of stubbornness in him which, well developed and turn ed into proper channels, was like ly to be very valuable, but until he learned to use that stubborn ness in the right way it bade fair to plunge him into more difficulties than he could eXtricate himself from from with profit.
 Even Agnes, reading that note, indignantly agreed with Bobby that he was being unjustly misread.
 Tt is absurd" he explained to her, This is the first dividend-pay- ing investment I have been able to make so far, and I'm going to keep it up just as long as can make money out of it. I'd be very foolish if I didn't. Besides, this is just a little in-between flyer, while I'm conservatively waiting for a

but the solid fact remains that he has done all he has been asked to do, and is the big it" in the pugi listic swim today. Johnson intends to leave for the other side about February b. and will steer straight for Paris, not for scrapping purposes but merely for flyer" as tht English say. The sports in the French capital will go wild over him, too, for Johnson has beaten both sam McNey and Jeanette, and the two latter boxers are considered yeritable marvels by the Parisians.
 The color prejudice does not exist in the cities of the Old World. and more than one dusky athlete who went abroad has been fused over and made much of in manner cal culated to turn his head completely Peter Jackson was a case in point The great Australian pugilist creat ed a tremendous sensation in Lon don when at the height of his fame After he whipped Jem Smith and Paddy Slavin there was nothing in the sporting category too good for him.

Craig, who had been b. gaten by Peter Maher in Bostol just before he went abroad. cut a clean swathe through the ranks of the British heavy and middle weights and made fortune in a very short space of time. He is living in Lon don at the present time, and is said to be in comfortable circum stances.

 It is really a commendable thing" Aunt Constance complaCently an nounced. Ito encourage music of this order. and to furnish such de gree of cultivation for the mass es."
 It was a worthy project indeed. As for the company itself there could be no question that it was good one No one expected acting in grand opera, no one expected that the performers would be physically adaptable to their parts. The voice! The voice was all. Even Agnes admitted that it was splendid thing to be a patron of the fine arts; but Bobby. in his profound new wisdom and his thorough con version to strictly commercial stand ards. said with vast iconoclasm:
