Elmer Koestner, the former

Manager Rowan of Peoria protested
the game lost to Dubuque Thursday on
the refusal of Umpire Genins to let a

he sent a man on first to second at
the same time.
Manager Geier of Burlington has re-
leased Outfielders Green and signed

Clark, first baseman from st. Joseph,
has also joined the team.

Frank Foutz, star left fielder of the
Muscatine team of the Northern asso-
citation, has been bought by Davenport.
Foutz came from the Pueblo team with
Manager Walters of the Muscatine
team and last year played with the
pennant winners of the Ohio league.
Manager Hayes has also bought
Pitcher Pinnance of the Flint, Mich,
team and he left for Peoria last night
to join the crippled PretZels.
The wherefore of the sudden signing
of nearly the whole of the old Sterling
team has come to light. After win
ming a double header at Kankakee the
other day six Of the Clinton players
went on a strike, demanding $50 more
each per month. It seems they sup
posed that the retirement of Manager
Ted Sullivan had abrogated their con-
tracts. Manager Mammen told the
whole six they could pack up and go
if not satisfied, and he wired for the
Sterling men. The joke Of it is that
Mammen had no authority to release
the players, and they will be held by
the Clinton association and blackllsted
if they refuse to report.

Natures Armor,

HOLSTERS and crabs are familiar ex-
amples of armor bearing creatures.
The Holsters have wonderful coats of
mail suggestive of those devised by
human warriors in the age of chiv-
airy. They combine perfect security
with ease of movement, owing TO their
1ointed structure. The manner in
which crabs when at rest tuck their
legs beneath them so as to bring them
under the shelter of the hard carapace
is interesting. The crab is doubly pro-
tected, for it resembles a water worn
pebble, and thus looks to large fishes
which like to eat the crustacean-so
long as it keeps still-very similar to
the objects with which it is sur
rounded

SoIomon's Bathtub.

With Chronicles as its authority, the
Plumbers Trade Journal says that the
bathroom was an invention of King
Solomon, who put il in use a thousand
years before the Christian era. It was
sinful to enter the sanctuary unless
the body was perfectly clean, and for
the accommodation Of priests a bath
tub was erected at the entrance to the
temple. 1t was said of Solomon, "He
made a molten sea of ten cubits from
brim to brim round In compass and
five cubits the height thereof, and a
line of thirty cubits did compass it
roundabout" According to the meas
urements, the Solomonian tub was for
ty-five feet In circumference at the top
and six and one-half feet deep. 1t
rested on carved figures Of oxen and
was of solid brass cast in one piece,
decorated with a floral design. Con-
nected with it there were ten small
sinks, which were used for washing
the offering.

Fishlnq Snakes.

While fishing in the Fort st. George
moat. at Madras, a correspondent of
Country Life saw a snake fifteen
inches long come out of the water
with a fish in its mouth. On catching
sight of the writer it dropped the fish
and bolted, leaving the fish on the
bank alive. On another occasion,
while fishing in a reservoir near Cha
ziabad, he again saw a snake emerg-
ing from the water with a fish in its
mouth. This snake was about twenty
four inches long, and on killing it he
was able to identify the fish as a COM
mon species of Indian fresh water fish.
Later on he saw a viper, nearly four
feet long, lying in shallow water. The
writer hooked it ashore with his
tackle, upon which the snake attacked
him, leaving a large yellow fang in
his fishing rod.

To get waiter quickly In a big cafe

mantown man recently learned meth
cd from a New York friend which is
guaranteed instantly to bring not one

man was giving a dinner in one of
Philadelphia SWEETEST cafes, with the
New Yorker and two women as his
guests. After a long delay a waiter
came and took the order. Then one of
the women decided that she must make
a change in her order. The host sig
nailed one waiter after another without
avail. After about ten minutes of vio-
lent gesticulating on his part the New
Yorker said:
you don't know how to attract their
attention. I'll bet you SIS 1 can bring
waiter to this table within thirty
seconds"
-"I'll take the bet" said the Philadel-
phian, drawing out his watch. The
New Yorker reached over into the
middle of the table, picked up a thin,
delicate glass and deliberately dashed
1t to the floor. Instantly every waiter
In the room came rushing up to see
what was the trouble.

DO HEARTS BREAK?
Human Nature the Same Despite Mod
ern Improvements.

Human Nature the Same Despite Mod
ern improvements.
Broken hearts, so the British Jour
nal of Nursing tells us, are quite out
of fashion. The disease has become
obsolete, and two reasons are assigned
for this. In the first place, we are told
that women do not fall in love as once
they did. Mere children are. not en-
couraged to think on love and matri-
mony, and then women, having come
to ripper years and sounder judgment
before they decide to marry, do not
let themselves fall into that state
which was supposed to produce cardiac
rupture.
One ventures to express The opinion
that the statement is not altogether
accurate.
Human nature does not alter from
one generation to another. People
fell in love" a thousand years ago; a
thousand years hence they will be do
ing the same. But they wore their
rue with a difference; so will those
who are to succeed us. The fact is
we do not now wear our hearts on our
sleeves, and we have learned that il
lovers prove untrue or unworthy there
are better and more dignifed ways OF
lamenting them than souring our tenn
pers, wasting away and allowing oul
friends and relations to treat us as
| derelictS.

Mitchell Beats Plan.

Mitchell.-The adoption or rejection
Of the commission form of government
for this city was voted upon Thursday
al a special election, which was de
feated by a majority of 1876. There
were 1925 votes cast, with 6S1 votes
against and 345 for the commission
plan. Every one OF the four WARD OF
the city cast a majority against the
commission. The campaign has been
very brief, and was conducted entirely
through the newspapers, with no pub
lie meeting to discuss the proposition
Mayor Hitchcock, who was support
ing the commission plan, made the
following statement concerning the
causes that led up TO the defeat OF
the plan:
AT the outset OF the, brief campaign
the leaders OF the liquor license forces
in the city aligned themselves against
the measure AS the vote is critically
close on the license question such di'
vision made a study of the plan on its
merits impossible. The advocates
were compelled { o allow the matter
to default. The license men. made a
thorough canvass OF the city, and the
result shows nearly a full license vote,
with the addition Of those naturally
opposed to municipal reform and the
Conservative voters. who are suspicious
Of a change by which official salaries
are increased. Under q generally salts
foctory administration the ordinary
voter cannot readily be convinced OF
the merits Of the commission plan"
