"FAN" AND THE "RooTER."

Important Respects in Which the

firm belief that the baseball fan, by

all the games and reads all the &C

fans the regular; the rooter's the oc-

TO WASH PAPER MONEY.
laundry May De Established in Gin
cinnati for Purpose.

laundry May be Estabfshed In Ctn-
cinnati for Purpose.
Cincinnati is likely to have a new
laundry. Uncle Sam is to be the pro-
prietor and while 1t Is to be for the
benefit of the public the populace will
not be allowed to wash its dirty linen
there, the Enquirer of that city says.
II 1t is secured here 1t will be unique
enterprise and be the first of its kind
to be regularly established in the
United States and probably the first
Of the kind in the world. In fact, the
laundering will be done free to the
general public.
If the efforts of Assistant United
States Treasurer G. A. Bosworth are
successful 1t will be established in the
subtreasury. His chief deputy, R. B.
Barrett, has Just returned from trip
through the east and while in Wash
ington he paid visit to the treasury
department and there was shown a
new process whereby It is intended to
wash clean all dirty bills that are rtill
capable Of being placed in circulation.
Deputy Barrett states that when he

was there ne was asked for a dirty
bill and he handed a five-spot taken
from the money he had brought from
Cincinnati. 1t was returned to him
in an altered condition. One half OF
the bill as bright as when it first came
from the printing presses and the 9TH
er half retained a reminder of this
city. 1t was explained that the de-
partment is experimenting and that
the prospect is that in the very near
future instead of destroying and ma
cerating all bills unfit for circulation
and replacing them with new the old
will be washed antiseptically clean
and again placed in circulation. Chief
Deputy Barrett secured promise that
as soon as 1t is found to answer the
purposes claimed for 1t laundry Of
this character will be established here.
1t is estimated that by this means
hundreds of thousands of dollars will
be saved to the government annually.
The authorities have for the past sew
eral years endeavored to place in cir
culation only clean money, and as soon
as it becomes soiled it is retired and
replaced by new. Last year there was
forwarded from this city alone $24,-
100000 in unfit currency to Washing
ton, which was macerated and destroy
ed 1t costs the government 20 cents
per $1,000 to ship this unclean stuff to
headquarters and then there is the ad-
ditional cost of destroying 1t.
1t Is the intention of the government
to assort the currency gathered up by
banks into three classes-one that is
but slightly soiled and can be at once
turned back into circulation; a second

Once during the progress Of Ger.

station building itself will occurs six

the world, and on the two levels no

twenty million passengers, came and
went at the present station.

One Of the most picturesque Incl
dents In Cooper's novel, "The Pho
neers." is the flight of the passenger
pigeons which darkened the sky with
their millions and were slaughtered
by the thousands. Even as late as
1880 the birds were not uncommon, but
since then they have become almost
extinct. A fund Of nearly $4,000 has
been raised by the naturalists of this
country and Canada for the protec-
tion Of the few survivors of these In

CITIES THAT LEAD THE WORLD
spirit That Animated Middle Ages
Now Inspires Germany

Now Inspires Germany.
l know of no cities In the modern
world which compare with those
which have arisen In Germany dur
ing the past twenty years, Frederic
Z. Howe writes in ScribnerTs. There
are none In Great Britain, from which
country official delegations are con-
stantly crossing the North sea to
study the achievements of the German
city. There are none in France, In
which country the building Of cities
has made but little progress since the
achievements of Baron Haussman
made Paris the beautiful city that
1t is.
There ahve been three great periods
In which the building of cities in
spired the thoughts and dreams of
men. In the age of the Attonines the
Roman people gave themselves with
enthusiasm to the establishment of
their cities. The great public struc-
lures, the temples, amphitheaters and
palaces then erected have withstood
the ravages of time and still remain
the wonder of subsequent centuries.
During the middle ages the cities of
Italy, France, Germany and the Meth
erlands erected similar monuments
expressive of the love and pride awak-
ened by their newly obtained freedom.
Now again in the twentieth century
the German people are expressing
their pride In the fatherland and the
imperial aspirations of Germany In
monuments of the same permanent
character and artistic splendor. Cap
ital cities like Berlin, Munich and
Dresden, as well as more commercial
cities like Dusseldorf, Mannheim,
Frankford, Cologne, Wiesbaden and
Stuttgart. are vying with one another
IN the beautiful, the orderly and the
serviceable.
Important as Is the honesty and the
efficiency Of the German city, 1t is Tne
bigness Of vision, boldness of execution
and far-sighted outlook on the future
that are most amazing. Germany is
building her cities as Bismarck per-
fected the army before Sadowa and
Sedan; as the empire Is building It's
warships and merchantmen; as she de-
velops her waterways and educational
systems.

In the case Of sick woman and her
children who came to this country in
the steerage while the husband and
father was a cabin passenger, the
mother and children were ordered de

that such head of family would

ENTERTAINs AT CARDS.

One of the enjoyable social entertain
ments of the week was an afternoon
party a which Mrs. Henry Burge en-
tertained yesterday at her home in
Carroll street. Her guests were the
members of the Fern Leaf Linen Club
who postponed their regular meeting
on account of the Thanksgiving holt
days. The guests were received in
formally in the parlors where they
spent the afternoon at card tables.
Several games of whist were played
and the honors for the afternoon were
awarded to Mrs Lawson, first. Mrs
Thomas Hart, second and Mrs. Henry
Burge, third. The consolation prize
was awarded to Mrs. Charles Miller. At
the conclusion of the games the guests
were invited into the dining room and
served with a luncheon of four courses.
A dainty color scheme of pink and
white was carried out in the table ap-
pointments. The hostess chose a boz
quet of carnations and ferns as a
center-piece for the table Carnations
were given the guests as favors. The
next party will be given in two weeks
on Thursday Afternoon and Mrs. Claude
Campbell will be hostess at her home in
Truman avenue.
