CATCHER Killing
Is FINED $500
He Also Must Finish His Unex.
pired Contract With Chicago
At $4,000 a Year.

Able to Play With Cubs

Cincinnati, o., March S0.-John G..
King, premier catcher OF the Chicago
Nationals. will be re-installed in or
ganized baseball upon his payment of
Il fine of $500, according to decision
of the National commission made pub
lie today. The decision was signed
only by Chairman Hermann and Pres
ident Lynch of the National league.
The name of President Johnson of the
American league is missing.
The commission will require Pres
ident Murphy of the Chicago Nationals
to show cause why he should not be
fined at least 5000 for violation of rule
AZ which forbids the club to submit a
new contract to an ineligible player.
Furthermore the Chicago club will not
be allowed To trade, sell or release
Killing for one season nor will it be per-
mitted to pay Kings fine directly or
indirectly under penalty.
Killing was not fined for his failure to
report to the Chicago club nor for vio-
lation of his contract, but solely for
his connection with the Missouri Ath-
letic club. a semi professional team of
Kansas City, and his playing with and
against ineligible players during the
time he was with that club. For this
he was fined 5000. He also was fined
5000 for violation of rule AZ: $500 for
violation Of that rule in defiance of the
notice from the commission not to do
so.~
Killing also is required TO carry out
the terms of his original contract
which still has one more season to
run. This called for a salary of $4,000
a year.

Paris. Oct. 11.-Aeroplanes for the
delivery Of urgent mail will be used by
the French government in the event
automobiles fail during the present
great railway strike, which threatens to
involve every line in France and COM
pletely tie up traffic.
Automobiles are being used for male
along the lire of the Northern Railway
where As, ZOO men went out last night.
The army has $50 aeroplanes and ex-
perienced aviators, while there are more
than 900 aviators in France, who, as
members of the army reserve, are liable
to be called on for this purpose. The
postal authorities announced today
that plans for aerial delivery OF inn
portant mail were being considered and
aeroplane service would begin the in
slant the automobiles proved unable to
handle the letters.
Not a wheel is moving today on the
Northern Railway where $4,000 en-
ployes went on strike last night. As a
result, the entire north of France and
the route to England are cut off from
rail communication with the French
capital.
1t is more than probable that within
few hours strikes will be declared on
all the railroads Of France, including
the lines owned by the state, and that
10000 men and women will be out.
So serious does the government re-
gard the beginning Of the strike that

pany is occupied by troops.

THE QUEEN MOTHER.
A dispatch from Madrid says:

A dispatch from Madrid says:
In view OF the charges that the re-
ligious influence OF Queen Amelia over
her son, King Manuel of Portugal, bad
much to do with fostering the spirit oil
revolt, which toppled the youth off his
thorne, considerable significance is at
tached to the announcement that Maria
Christina, Queen Mother OF Spain, is
to leave the royal palace, and take up
her quarters in another section Of the
city.
This move on the part OF Christina,
it is declared, is made in an effort Ia
prove to the Spanish people that she
does not exercise reactionary influence
over King Alfonso.
Whether she takes this act of her own
volition, or at the suggestion of heI
sons ministers. is not known outside
the little group Immediately surround
ing the royal family. That it will con
vince anyone that Maria Christina will
cease meddling with Spanish politics is
unlikely. There has been some talk
that she might go back to Austria
to live. Such move might
impress the people with her sincerity,
but she declares that her ties as a
mother keeps her in Madrid.
There can be no doubt that the
reactionary and clericals influence OF
Queen Amelia had more than anything
to do with the overthrow of Manuel.
The Spanish royal family is just as
alarmed for the future Of King Al
fonso, for he is under the domination
OF his mother, who stands for every
thing that Is reactionary, repressiye and
tyrannical and she bows unquestioning-
ly to the will OF the clerical leaders. While
she remains alive and in Spain, the
popular opinion is that nothing modern
and permanent in the way OF govern
mental reform can be expected from

ANTIrOxIN CAN BE HAD BY ALL.

The new State regulations for the
distribution of antitoxin by the State
Health Department have gone into eff
feet and health workers throughout the
State are rejoicing that this great rem
edy is now within the reach of all citi-
zens at a miu mum cost. The new
rules, which have just been issued, per-
nit the sale OF antitoxin to any citizen
OF Virginia at 40 cents per thousand
units, with a small additional cost for
shipment and for the syringe. This
makes the cost of antitoxin for an adj
vance case 81. 89 or about 20 per cent.
Of the former retail cost.
Under the new arrangement with the
manufacturers of antitoxin, the State
Board of Health will furnish to any
physician for the use OF any person
suffering from diphtheria, such antitoxin
he may require, provided he Will be re-
sponsible for the purchase price. This
antitoxin is to be shipped as soon as
ordered and bill is to be rendered by
the manufacturer.
While these regulations place no re-
striction on the persons to whom anti
toxin may be sold, and hence make the
remedy available on short notice, the
State Health Department, in a bulletin
issued, urges the county boards OF
health to purchase a stock. OF antitoxin
and to keep it on hand for the use Of
those who need it Immediately. In
urging this course, the State Health
Department offers to credit any local
board for any antitoxin ordered and
not used before the limit Of the sOcalled
guarantee date.
There is now no excuse for an out
break Of diphtheria in the State, " said
an official Of the Health Department
in announcing the new regula-
tons. "Antitoxin will cure diphtheria
il administered in time; it can be had
at small cost by anyone who needs 1t;
and its use is followed by no i'll effects.
We confidently expect great decline
in the amount OF diphtheria in the state
this winter, if our people will use the
means at their disposal"

THE Daughters of the Confederacy
in power

The Daughters of the Confederacy
are trying to raise money to erect a
monument to the Confederates buried
in the National Cemetery at Arlington.
They report about $4,000 on hand
and have decided to place on sale in
the south little seals, somewhat like
the Red Cross stamps sold at Christ
mas. Commenting the project, The
Baltimore Sun" says:
On each Memorial day the Con
federate organizations Of Washington
erect at Arlington the Southern cross
in flowers and strew blossoms over
federal and Confederate graves alike.
Out OF this custom has grown the con
viction that there should be placed
among the many monuments to dis
tinguished federals a memorial to the
hundreds of Confederates who rest i'll
unknown graves.

In the course of his lecture in Brook

papers seemed to think at the time
was, would have written the tariff
plank little differently, but on the
whole | think we came out of it very

careless of what he says. Why, 1t Is a
known fact that he had absolute control
of the Saratoga convention which with
him was as clay in the hands of the
potter. He moulded it according to
his own sweet will, framed the plat
form, named committeeman of his
own choice, removed others not OF his
ilk and ran roughshod over those who
opposed him. And he now talks of
what he would have done had he been
