MANY WANT JOB
AT BURLINGTON
President Bongert Receives Many Se
plies From Add in Sporting
News.

BURLINGTON. Nov. 30-At the
last meeting of the local base bail as
sociation it was decided TO place an
advertisement in the Sporting News
for the purpose Of securing proposi-
tons from prospective managers.
President Bongert has since received
about half dozen replies from re-
sponsble base ball players stating
terms and asking fer information con-
corning the local situation. Some of
the letters look pretty good and it is
quite probable that some time this
week a meeting will be held when the
different propositions will be taken
up and duly weighed.
All the applicants for the manager
ial job seem to think mighty we'll of
the Burlington berth Burlington's
reputation as a good base ball town
is widespread and these men. ono
and and all, think they can put in a
winning club 1t would he hardly fair
at this time to disclose the names OF
the applicants for the job, but almost
any one of them would be satisfac-
tory for this city. In fact the asso-
citation is confronted with an embar-
rassment of managerial riches. Some
sort of bonus will have to be raised
this winter to start the season. The
association is particularly DESTROYS
of securing the services of some good
man who will put in a club and make
it self-supporting. as they do not de-
sire to panhandle patrons of the
game during the entire summer fof
funds. 1t gets mighty tiresome for
the men who are compelled to do the
soliciting and more tiresome for the
folks who give up the money.

WAS FRIGHTENED
IN HER SLEEP
Quincy Girl Has Strange Hallucins-
ton. Which Resulted in Her
Jumping Through Window.

Miss Margaret Daley. the 1S-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Charles Daley,
of Quincy. III met with a peculiar &C
cident yesterday morning at O'Clock
which resulted in serious injuries.
While dreaming that she was being
pursued by the man that she had
seen peering through the window at
her home several weeks ago she
arose from her bed In fright and
jumped through closed window IN
her endeavor to escape. receiving q
number of bad cuts, and ran down
the street for half block in her
night clothes before being overtalSen
by her mother, who was awakened
by the nose.
Two or three weeks ago, it seems.
Miss Daley saw q man looking
through the Kitchen window at her
home and was badly frightened, to
such an extent that she has been ex-
eral dreams, imagining that he was
pursuing her While sleeping with
her mother Sunday night, she imag
ined again that she saw the man and
became frightened. Her hallucination
was that he was after her and she
was trying to escape. She Jumped
from her bed and went running TO
the window and jumped through It.,
smashing four psnes of glass in her
leap.
Her mother was awakened by the
crash of glass and her cries, The
man, the man, save me" and tried
to catch her. Mrs. Daley also leaped
out of the window and was unable to
catch her until the corner OF Seventh
and Elm streets was reached.

vlrIEs GROWING NolslER
1t is One of the Penalties Of Clviliza-
ton, But No Man Could Endure
Continual Silence.

No doubt all cities are growing
noisier This is one of the penalties OF
civilization. There is now no Sybaris,
where the sound of a hammer was
never heard Even Paris is said to be
as noisy as it is now dirty But in the
Paris of 20 years ago Mr. Adolphe
Rette was so disturbed by the din,
which would now be considered in com
parison only an agreeable hustle, that
he dreamed a dream There was q
singular silence. Men and women
moved as procession of shadows.
Gartwheels We're inaudible! The city
was under cotton wadding And the
thought came to the dreamer, Noise is
dead. and he burst out laughing at
the deduction that the earth was hence
forth doomed to eternal silence Then
came a letter of ceremonial invitation:
gu are begged to be present at the
funeral Of Monsieur Noise, who died
this evening. Killed by contempt
raDeous excess, he was held in horror
by the Eternal himself. On the part OF
his widow, Humanity"
Yet who could endure the silence
that crazed the man in Iooes tale, the
tale told by the Demon. the tale more
wonderful than any in The iron-bound
melancholy volumes Of the Magi And
the Demon laughed but could not, and
the Demon cursed him because he
could not laugh. And even the lynx
that dwelt forever in the tomb looked
at the Demon steadily in The face.
