SCOTT WON OUT.
Had Senate Act on His Pension Bills
Before II Took Up Elkins Measure.

Had Senate Act on His Pension Bills
Before II Took Up Elkins Measure.
Washington, d. c., April 27.-The
Senate resolved itself into a sob
squad yesterday and Senator ". p.
Scott of West Virginia, was the chief
grief producer. 1t was his pathetic
appeal for the old soldiers that caused
the unusual condition.
Senator Scott has bills for pensions
of 80 veterans of his state. At the
same time his colleague, Senator s.
B. Elkins was urging the body to
take up the railroad rate bill which
Elkins said was more import'nt.
When Senator Scott took the floor
to get his easuure before the Sen
ate he reminded the members that
the old soldiers were dying at the
rate of II per minute and while he
was arguing for them one of the 90
his bills represented might pass away.
His appeal was so pathetic that many
CT the Seniors wiped tears from their
eyes. The rate bill was forgotten
and the Senate acted upon the pen
sions Immediately.

Partly Insured.

From The World of Wednesday:
The big skating rink in Winchester
burned down last night between /

5 5000. on which there is an insurance
of 81, 700. The fremen directed their
efforts to saving nearby buildings 50
that the fire was not allowed TO

been of incendiary origin.
The rink RAJ built about three
years ago by a stock company and
cost something like $4,000. 1t was a
very large structure and well built
and finished. Some time ago the
rink was bought by Messrs. Fred
Glaize and H. F. Byrd at public sale.

FRUIT NOT
Rain Not Frost Hurt the Buds and
Fruit on the Trees.

The apple crop in this section OF
the country has not been damaged
40 any great extent. by the recent
heavy rains. is the opinion of sever
al large orchardists.
II was feared a week ago. by the
fruit growers, that If the heavy rains
continued, a great deal OF the pollen
would be washed off and the fruit
would not fertilize.
1t was also feared that a freeze
would set in and if such had been the
case the fruit would have been ire
parably ruined.
As it was, however, some of the
trees were in blossom very early and
the ones which had blossomed a few
days before the rain not great

NEW TRACK
West Bound Track Between Ship
pensburq and Summit Has Been
Completed.
From The World of Wednesday:

From The World of Wednesday:
The Hagerstown accommodation
leaving Harrisburg at 11.53 O'Clock
in the morning for the South, was
the first train to run over the new
track that was thrown into service
yesterday between Shippensburg and
Summit.
At the same time the old westbound
track between these two points was
thrown out of service. The new track
age has not yet been equipped with
the signal system but during the day
will be protected by green flags and
at night by lanterns. Trains running
over it have been ordered to reduce
speed to fifteen miles an hour until
the track becomes settled.
This is a portion of ia Scotland
double track revision of line and
grade and is two miles In length That
section between Scotland and the
Waynesboro Junction, also a distance
of two miles, has been in service since
November Z.
This practically completes n re-
vision of the two track system, which
reduces the governing grade east
bound from Mason-Dixon to ~Shippens-
burg, a distance of tw~enty-seven
miles, with the exception of the one
per cent grade between Chambers
burg and the Waynesboro Junction, to
four-tenths of one per cent.
This is the portion of the road
where the traffic is the heaviest and
the improvements will permit the
company to increase the tonnage .!
the locomotives so that the freight
can be moved at less cost. All the
traffic on the main line and branch
lines is handled over this trackage.
During the past few years the Cum
berland Valley has spent thousands OF
dollars in dropping out curves and re-
ducing the grades along the line
Work will be started shortly on the
improy ements at the western part OF
Carlisle. The line through Mechan.
icsburg was recently improved.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Wrestling is

thing in favor of wrestling is that the

the most successful in the annals of

Boston Reds Bar Clos"

The deadly coffin nail, the same be-
ing the festive cigarette, is under ban
in the camp of the Boston Red SoS
baseball team. Along with it is all
night poker sessions. President John
Taylor of the Red Sox, who is spend
ing the winter in California, has issued
the imperial decree. When the boys
assemble at Hot Springs l am going
to give them a fatherly talk on the
cigarette question" said Mr.. Taylor
II hate to do it, but this action is
necessary. l will agree to furnish
cigars for the team from April IA to
October 4, if they agree to cut out
the paper tubes. All cigarette smok-
ers inhale the smoke and this cuts the
lungs and kills the wind. 1t causes
nervousness and insomnia, too. The
other question on which shall lecture
is all-night poker playing, when the
team is making long trips
There is a rule in all the big league
camps against cigarette smoking but
it is not always enforced. Cigarettes
are deadly not only to baseball players
but to all athletes. There are in fact
only little less harmful than drink

cot the Yankees had was two years

years ago he was very successful; las,
season the break was against him. His
contract for 1910 called for the same
money he received in 1909. He refused
to sign, asked for an increase, but will
not get it.
Among the bunch of possible phe-
noms the most promising is Gardner,
who broke into the game last fall.
Theile has done good work in the past
for the Stanford university club and
has been highly spoken of in Ca sfornia
circles. He is giant and it would
not surprise his friends if he made
good. Advance dope On Jack is that he
towers head and shoulders above the
semi professionals in Milwaukee. Clark
showed enough against Seattle last
spring, 'Then he was with the university
of Washington team to warrant a trial
in faster company. If he will do as
well as he did in the two games he
ing him, there will be nothing to it.
Although he had made such a favor
able impression early in the spring his
later work against a team of ordinary
caliber was much inferior. For some
unaccountable reason he had lost the
drive to the ball and also control.

Oaso is a big fellow who showed
up with Seattle for short time about
two years ago, On recommendation of
Clint Higginbotham, who insists that
he will eventually make good. He did
not stay with the squad long enough,
however, to get a real line on him.
