Large Attendance at All the Churches
Yesterday.

from mondays Oaiy.
The various local churches yesterday
had unusually large congregations at
their Easter services Never was there
Il nicer day for Easter, except for a
high wind The weather was mild, the
streets dry, and the grass turning green
and the buds bursting from the trees
and shrubs.
All of the churches had some special
services. and as rule the affairs were
beautifully decorated with lilies and
other flowers. Special music added to
the effectiveness of the services.
New Easter hats and bonnets were
largely in evidence, and one of the
attractions of the fashionable cOnyre-
cations were the novelties i'm head gear.
although it is to be hoped that none
allowed these worldly contractions to
distract their. thoughts from their re-
hgious devOtions. %El

THE NAUGHTY TURK.

High Handed Diplomatic Methods of
 the Seventeenth Century.
 Indignities to which foreign envoys were formerly subjected in China were mild in comparison with those occa- sional1y meted out to them in Constan- tinopIe. M Julian Klaczks in his "Etude de Diplomatic Contemporaine' relates that in 1873 the grand vizier, having intercepted some French dis patches, tried to force Del la Have, first secretary to the French embassy and son of the ambassador, to give him the cipher of the embassy. The young diplomat indignantly refused and was in consequence bastinadoed, struck in the face with such force that his teeth were broken, and he was thrown into prison No attempt was made by Louis XIV. to obtain redress for the wrongs inflicted on his repre- sentative.
 Until the beginning of the eighteenth century Christian envoys to the porte were forbidden to visit one another or even to confer with one another on neutral ground They were not a1- lowed to drive in public with their wives, and at one time it was pro posed to prevent them from importing wine for their own consumptfon A compromise was effected on this point on the understanding that the accurs- ed liquor was to be conySSed from th

WHO IS GREATEST BALL PLAYER?
 In Opinion of Comiskey ny" Cobb Stands Above All Ohers

The Pittsburger has been a. batting champion seven times in thirteen years. Of stolen bases Cobb had eighty-one last year to Wagner's thir- t%yofivs. % The great shortstop,s best best sixty-one bases in 1907.
 But Comiskey is not judging by sta- tistics alone. Cobb is a better ball player today than he was two years ago." he says, ttand he will be a better player this year than he was last" The blond fielder from Georgia is a great player for a first and most i'm portant reason that he loves the game Comiskey is sure he would play ball if he had to pay instead of being paid.
 From another source we learn of Cobb's ambition. T hope,' said he one day last season, @+T will some day be the player Wagner is.'' Which gives it's own touch to a very pretty and popular controversy.-New York World.

TROY WON OUT
dome Team Lost Contest Through Error in the Fifth
 Inning.

All of the Bridgeport infielders
 nade a slip up during the Troy Bridgeport contest at Newfield Park Saturday afternoon but Bobby Stowe, who went along in slick fashion till the eight session, when he let an easy grounder get away from him, allow ing a man to score from third and giving the batter a life on first base. AS there were two down at the time, perfect fielding would have resulted in an extra inning contest. The error showed the Trojans to score two sszas, winning the contest 5-3. It -ss a snappy contest considering the rawness of the day. The Bridgeport players were in fine fett1e for their more seasoned opponents, who have been playing games for the past three weeks That onU error of Stoves was the only miss to effect the score. Freddie Gibbs and Chief Snyder pitched good ball for the locals Ernie Wade, a former Bridgeporter, and who was last season with the West Ends worked for the Trojans. Poland of the visitors made c per- feet record at the bat with four hits our of four times up. The score: Troy ..0Os o0oo2 o-5-9-1 Bridgeport 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 O-3-7--5

 Macmonnies.

The Favor FaIsuiere Did For Young
 Macmonnies.
 When Macmonnies, the American sculptor. was young man working in Paris Falguiere. the famous French sculptor. on one occasion entered his atelier and found there beautiful Diana that had been for months Ion the stocks and was approaching a perfection neasurab bly, satisfactory to the sculptor himself.
 Falguiere became so absorbed in the work before him as to forget that it was not his own. He began to twist and pull the dainty limbs of Diana this way and that. to punch her in the ribs, turn her queenIy head-for she was then only in clay, of course, and sus- ceptibIe to impressions-until at last he had produced the very pose he de sired There, my friend; like her better SOL he cried, and skipped out of the studio.
 He had really intended to do Mac monnies favor and had indeed paid him the greatest compliment of which he was capable, but the young sculp- tor was in distress, for on comparing the remodeled Diana with a photo graph of Falguiere's. statue of the same character he found the French man had unconscious1y made a prac-

Who is the greatest ball player of all time? cry Cobb of Detroit an swers Comiskey, veteran captain in baseball, thereby making sure of 9 lively dispute to go with the early pennant- chasing days of 1910. Already we see the partisans of Hans Wagner sitting up and taking notice. And their name is legion, while not by any means do they live all4in Pittsburg.
 To compare Cobb with Wagner is something like chasing a young colt against a. seasoned racer. The Detroit player has been but four years in fast company, while last year was the major league service. By the records we find that Cobb led the American League in batting in 1907 and again in 1909, beating wagner by two points with an average of 1852 in the first in stance and coming out thirty-six points ahead of the National League cham pion last year, with an average of .377.

Damascus, acity of Maqie.g

An oriental city of magic called up by slave of the lamp to realize ones dream of the orient; city ethereally lovely, exquisitely eastern, sphemeral, to be blown away by a breath like a tuft of thistledown. not white. but delicately pale with a pallor holding the faintest hint of a seashell flush; a city slender. calm, almost mystic in its fragile grace. set in the heart of a great wonder of green. a maze Of bright and ardent woods, beyond which lie the desert spaces-this is Damascus from the mountain of Jebel Kasyun. It holds one almost breath less seen thus from afar. Robert Kitchens in Century.

Billy Rice and 2 Pin.


 Billy Rice. the negro minstrel, uBed to tell the story of a man who picked up pin as he was leaving the office of a great merchant after an unsuc- cessfuI quest for work. The mera chant, seeing the mans action from the window, called him back and gave him employment, which kindness he repaid by becoming owner of the en- tire business in an incredibly short time.
 Billy used to end his story by say ing that he tried that scheme 0nce when he was looking for work, drop ping a pin carefully on the floor as he entered. He stated his wants to the proprietor, who not only had no employment to offer him, but remark ed to his partner as Rice picked up the pin:
 Say, if that felIow'seso small as to steal a pin off the floor, how much do you think he'd leave in my tihY'
