WRITER
. Fatally INJURED

Chicago, Ill. May o1.-Gcorge A. Me
Donald, aged thirty-one years, a local
sporting writer, died to day as the re-
suit of injuries sustained in an auto
mobile accident last night Mr.. Nc
Donald was riding in the car owned
by Johnny Evers, the second baseman
of the Chicago Nationals, when it was
struck by a street car. He was the
only one injured
No Hope from First.
His skull was fractured and he suf
fered concusson of the brain and in
ternal injuries. An operation was per-
formed on him last night From the
first the physicians entertained little
hope of his recovery.
In the car besides Mcdonald and E,y-
ers We're Joseph Evers, brother of the
ball player, and negro mechanic. Mr..
Mcdonald attempted to jump when he
| saw the collision was inevitable. He
! fell under the car and was wedged in
so tightly under the fender that it re-
| quired the efforts of three men to eN-
! tricate him.
The party was returning from the
West Side Ball Park. after the game
between Chicago and Brooklyn had
been postponed because of wet grounds.
Mr.. Mcdonald was married and had a
son five years old. He was graduated
from Northwestern University in 1909
and was a Splinter while in college.
Players Afraid to Ride.
Following the calling of the game
between the Cubs and Brooklyn
number OF members of the teams and
several sporting writer's met outside
the park and stood talking, when Evers
appeared in his new machine.

he invited the crowd

answered. YOU'D take us out and ger
us all killed.
Evers attempted to persuade the1r
that he was familiar with his machine.

According to Evers he slowed up

Assessment for Educntion.
The greater part of the morning
session OF the General Conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
was occupied with the discussion OF
the first item of the report of tho
committee on education. This item OF
the report recommended that the as
sessment for education for the next
quadrennium be increased from $4,000
to s95,O00. and that $4,000 of this
amount be applied to the biblical de-
partment OF Vanderbilt University. The
fight against this item of the report
was not centred against the appro-
priation to the biblical department OF
Vanderbilt University, but simply to
increase of the assessment The claim
was made by several delegates that

ed with assessments for correctional
interests as to discourage the MEM
bership of the church, one calling spe-
cial attention to the fact that already
the church has been assessed more
than half a million dollars for the
correctional officers, and that the
increase is still continuing, An
amendment was offered TO reduce the
assessment from $4,000 to $4,000 and
the assessment for Vanderbilt's bibli-
can department from $4,000 to $4,000.

church papers and through other

with reference to the largely In

its various interests.
The salaries of the active bishops
have been fixed at $4,000 per year
There are now thirteen active bishops,
which will mean that the church must

seems too large, especially when the

USES OF SH0RT-LEAF PINE.
Nearly All Packing Gases Are Made
from II.

From tie New YORK Post
Ten years ago sncrt-leaf zine. known
in the trade as North Carolina pine. was
little known in the North. but. owing to
the increase in price Of white pine, the
packing case manufacturers commenced
10 use the North Carolina wood in the
ends Of their boxes. This gradual sub
stitution. hardly noticeable at first. con-
tinued to increase. until at the present
day packing cases are almost entirely
made of North Carolina pine Build
ers and contractors had a similar
experience. as white pine disappeared
from the market. and now floors.
ceilings. partitions. roofing. and sheath
ings, IN frame houses throughout the
country are made from North Carolina
pine The total consumption Of this
wood in the Eastern states amounts 20
a billion and a half feet per year.
Offerings of white pine grow less. each
year. as North Carolina pine is less than
half its price, notwithstanding the fact
that there is but a small quantity Of this
timber left. and nothing. apparently, to
take its place east of the Mississippi
River.
This class Of timber also grows IN vir-
ginia. South Carolina. and in the north
ern part OF Georgia. and ii is estimated
that in less than twenty years il will be
exhausted. The consumption increases
each year. and after North Carolina pine
timber is gone the East will have to go
beyond she Mississippi Valley for fits ma
terial for packing cases and frame
houses.

THE FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.

From the london Evening Standard
The fourteen mistakes of life Judge
RentouI told the Bartholomew Club are:
To expect to set up our own standard Of
right and wrong and expect everybody to
conform to IT,
To try to measure the enjoyment Of
others by our own.
To expect uniformity Of opinion in this
world.
To look for judgment and experience in
youth.
To endeavor to mold oil dispositions
alike.
Not to yield in Unimportant tri1es
To look for projections in our own ac-
tons.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that needs
alienation
Not to make allowances for the weak
nesses of others.
To consider anything impossible that
we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To live as If the moment, the time, the
day were so important that it would live
forever
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within which makes
the man.

Lacrosse in the West.

"The spread Of lacrosse through the
middle Western States as an autumn
sport is one Of the most remarkable
developments Of late years." said H.
F. Dimmock Of St Joseph. Mo.
The sport has taken firm hold Of
the people and is played as an ac-
eeptable substitute for football in
many States. 1t has not been general
ly introduced In the colleges, al
though the Rugby or English style OF
football is gaining headway. But 1t is
quietly being played by thousands OF
semi-professional and amateur teams
which do not figure much in the pub
lie prints but are vital factor in the
sports of the middle West
THE American style OF football is
bound to go, and when the Eastern
colleges reform it viii lose prestige
everywhere. 1t will be followed by
Rugby football and lacrosse in the

birds TO pick up a living, according to
the office force Of the St Paul HUI

Robins especially, who subsist
largely on angleworms, are having
difficulty in feeding their young that
are being hatched everywhere at this
time. The worms have gone down
far from the surface. where moisture
is to be found. and are safe from the

scarce, but berries upon which birds
are accustomed to feed are also dried
