would do unless you are one of the
blessed few in whom the pure spirit
of adventure is not dead
In the big city the twin spirits, Ro-
nance and Adventure, are always
abroad seeking worthy wooers. AS we
roam The streets they slyly peep ut us
and challenge us in twenty different
guises
Rudolf Steiner was a true adven-
turer Few were the evenings on
which he did not go forth from his
hall bedchamber in search of the un-
expected and the egregious. The most
interesting hing in life seemed to him
to be what might lie just around the
next corner. Sometimes his willing
ness to tempt fate led him into strange
paths Twice he had spent the night
In station house. Again and again
he had found himself the dupe of in
genious and mercenary tricksters. His
watch and money had been the price
Of one fattering allurement. But with
undiminished ardor he picked up ev-
cry glove cast before him into the
merry lists of adventure.
One evening Rudolf was strolling
along Il cross town street in the older
central part of the city Two streams
of people filled the sidewalks. the
home hurrying and that restless contin-
gent that abandons home for the spe-
power table d'hote.
The young adventurer was OF pleas
ing presence and moved serenely and
watchfully. By daylight he was a
salesman in piano store. He wore
his tie drawn through u topaz ring i'll
stead of fastened with stickpin. aud
once he had written to the editor of a
ma agazine that "Junie's Love Test" by
Miss I.ibbey. had been the book that
had most influenced his life.
During his walk violent chatterins
of teeth in glass case Oh the side
walk seemed at first to draw his attell-
ton with qualm, to restaurant
before which it was set. but a second
glance revealed the electric letters OF
a dentists sign high above the next
door A giant negro fantastically
dressed in red embroidered coat. vel
low trousers and military cap dis
creetly distributed cards to those OF
the passing crowd who consented t,
take them.
This mode of dentistic advertising
was common sight to Rudolf. Usu
ally he passed the dispenser of the
dentists cards without reducing his
| store, but tonight the African slipped
one into his hand so deftly that he re-
tanned it there. smiling a little at the
successful feat.
When he had travelled a few yards
farther he glanced at the card jndif
| ferently. Surprised. he turned it oyel
and looked again with interest One
| side of the card was blank: on the 9th
| er were written in ink three words
1.-The Green Door," And then Rudolf
saw three steps in front of him a mar
throw down the card the negro hal
given him as he passed. Rudolf picked
it up. 1t was printed with the dentists
name and address and the usual SEIZED
ule Of 'pIate work" and bridge work

At the corner Of the block in which
he lived Rudolf stopped for glass Of
beer and a cigar. When he had come
out with his lighted weed he buttoned
his coat. pushed back his hat and said
stoutly to the lamppost OIL the corner:
''All the same. believe it was the
hand Of fate that doped out the way
for me to find her.
Which conclusion. under the circum-
stances. certainly admits Rudolf Stein

Romance and Adventure.

Great Throngs From All Over United
States to Meet Traveller.

New York, June 9.-When Theo-
dore Roosevelt lands in New York
a week from next Saturday he will
receive an ovation from his friends
and admirers of this and many other
states. which promises to eclipse any
similar demonstration ever beheld in
the metropolis. The general arrange
ments for the reception are in charge
of a committee of which Cornelius
Vanderbilt is the chairman and which
includes in its membership nearly one
thousand of the foremost citizens OF
the state and city of New York.
Information received by this COM
mittee indicates that great throngs
are coming from distant states to
join in the vociferous welcome to the
former President The Rough Riders
and the Spanish War veterans will
have a prominent part in the days
doings, but that they are not to mon
opolize the demonstration is evidenc-
ed by the fact that numerous other
political and patriotic organizations,
trade bodies and societies of various
kinds are preparing to take part in
the affair. The organizations of for
eign born residents of New York will
be much in evidence, including the
German, Polish, Italian, French,
Greek, Syrian and Japanese clubs.
Railroads have made reduced fares
| for the occasion, many special trains
have been ordered and organizations
| and individuals from the North and
South, the East and West are arrang-
ing to join in the grand acclaim. New
York hotels, which at best are crowd
ed at this season of the year with
the ebb and flow of the early summer
excursion tide and tourists bound for
Europe, are already besieged with ap-
plications for quarters, and the res
taurants and cafes along the Great
White Way are counting upon reap
| ing a harvest during the few days
preceding and following Mr.. Roose-
velt's arrival home.

ED WALSH, STAR TwIRLER OF WHITE soX.

Of the previous year. does it? Recent
reports say that Walshs arm is Civ
ing him considerable trouble and his
career in the majors is short. or
course nobody can correctly prognosti-
cate what Walsh may do later in the
season. but if he again pitches star
ball he can be regarded as more or
less of a marvel He is close to that
in physique now. but the salary arm
of the major league baseball pitcher
is an entirely separate piece Of mech
anism from the rest of his constitution.

least four games a week and be ready
to act as the main stem In double

be always willing to unloosen some OF
the steel in his arm for the benefit Of
his club.
Joe McGinnity used to be the best
iron man" in the business. He could
pitch a double engagement today and
go in and wheel again tomorrow. And
he used to win the majority Of his
games. That's why he was regarded
as the best Iron man." Joe did his
most superb work when McGraw was
erecting pennant poles at the Polo
grounds. This was over FIVE years
ago. Too many Iron man" entertain

league effectiveness. Now he is man.

Jack Chesbro. leading pitcher of the
American league in 1904. is farming
today on big homestead in New Eng
land. Jack is done for so far as the
use of his big league arm Is consider
ed. He is not beset with any financial
of what he made in the days Of sue
cess, but the fact that it was Jacks
steady pitching that enforced his re-
tirement from baseball cannot be
gainsaid. In 1904 Chesbro was the
meat and bone Of the New York Yam
kee pitching staff. He would have
pitched that club into a championship
but for an unfortunate slip of his
spitball at the psychological moment
in the last and deciding game of the
season.
After the momentous campaign in
1904 Jack was pretty near ready for
his baseball obituary. although he es-
sayed to pitch until 1908.
Last year Hardness, now with the
Cleveland Maps. gunned sixty-five
games for Portland In the Pacific
Coast league. AS member Of Nc

any better than many minor pitchers

as some.

American association race he has
been peppered by opposing batsmen.

Returning Home From Abroad.

This week TIE OASIS has been in receipt of a postal card from Doctor Bim Smith of HermosiIlo, who at the writing, Thursday of last week, was aboard the steam ship Moltke, in quarantine in New York harbor, having travelled by that vessel from Genoa, Italy. The doctor writes: 1T smell strong of garlic, eat spagetti, drink 'dago red' and have few heas. So far l have not contracted the itch or the cholera, and if 1 ever pass the quarantine station and custom house will take Turkish bath, get some new clothes and begin life over again. Then back to the cacti for me- after a short visit in California.
 Monday the newspapers received at Nogales had telegrams dated Saturday, which stated that case of cholera had developed aboard the Moltke. and that the passengers are being held aboard to await re- suits, which if true would indicate that the stay aboard of the genial medico may be prolonged some- what.

Resolutions of condoIenee.

At meeting of the Chatta nooga Bar held in the Chancery Court on the 20th of September, 1910, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted:
 We want to pay just and well mer- tied tribute of respect to the memory of J. T. Matthews, a member of our bar, who died at Nogales, Ar zona, on the 18th of August, last Mir. Matthews was EOorn October Sd, 1869, in Jackson COun- ty, Alabama, and spent the early years of his life on the farm. He was son of Mir. Jacob Matthews, one of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of Northern Alabama. From his father, our deceased brother inherited much of that manly self reliance and laudable ambition for usefulness and distinction which laid the foundation of his future success and rapid elevation in his pro- fession. His mental endowments were of the highest order. He had not only genius, but the higher attributes-intel- 1ectual yigor, independent thinking, profound research and patient investi a. ton Indications of these mental traits were manifested early in life, and oppor- tunities for their culture were fortunate ly at hand. After attending the schools of his native county, he became stu dent at Winchester Normal College where he graduated with high honors, and having an ambition to become a Glawyer, he entered the law department of Cumberland University at Lebanon, Tennessee, from which institution he =aaso graduated in 1894 at the head of his class. On b ing admitted to the bar, he came to Chattanooga and formed part nership with the late Col. Columbus Marchbanks, the style of the firm being Marchbanks & Matthews. This firm

Territorial F.ir Make. World Record.


 When the entries for the races to be pulled off at the Territorial Fair from November 7th to Novem Der 18th, were closed on Sept 18th, Secretary Christy made an inter. esting discovery; more horses had been entered for the Territorial Fair races than had ever been en tered for any race meet off the Grand Circuit. The total number of entries is two hundred and .eighty.three. And be it known that these entries are not skates, but the finest horse flesh that one can find. Heroes of many victories on Grand Circuit tracks will per form at the Territorial Fair and the chances are that they will per form better than they did on the big eastern tracks, for it is fact that Arizona has one of the fastest tracks in the world.

enjoyed large and lucrative practice and continued until the death of Col March banks, After the death of Col Marchbanks, hr. Matthews practiced his profession alone and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the courts, his professional brethern and the communl- ty.
 On October 3l, 1895, Mir. Matthews was married to M ss Maud q. Gonce, one of Alabama's most accomplished and lOvable young women. Their home fife was idea, aud happy. This estimabe woman with their little daughter sur wives him.
 In conduct and character he realized Blackstone's ideal of a good citizen, for he ''l ved honestly, hurt nobody, and rendered to every man his due
 He was punctlious in the discharge of every task. Thr courts and the bar respected him highly, and by his inti- mates he was loved.
 He was always modest and unobtrus- i've, neither provok ng nor giving offence, but he was manly as he was modest and in the trial of his cases was as firm aud assertive as became the dignity of his perso aIity and of the profession to which he bel nged. His manners and speech were always refined and indi- cated the instincts which make the character of ae gentleman. The clean ness and clearness of his mind were illustrated in his practice before the courts. His positions were chosen with wisdom, his views were uttered with precision, and his arguments were such that none failed to understand his meon- ing or to be impressed by the force and earnestness of his nature.
 After about ten years residence in Chattanooga, Mir. Matthews realized that his health was declining in tht fall of 1905 he closed his office and wen to Texas, spending the winter at San Antonio. He then went to Arizona and for two or three years travel about from place. Apparently his health inn proved and he located at NOgales, d thriving town on the southern border ol the territory, where he again turned hls attention to his profession and at once assumed prominent position at the bar. But scarcely had he taken up the work which he loved, when the tcnacity of life which had so long sustained the fickering lamp, gave way, and its light was extinguished forever. ~
 Early in life our deceased brother be- came a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He manifested throughout his life the attributes of d Christian gentleman, and i'll his last ill., ness was sustained by the Christians faith and cheered by the Christians hope. Therefore
 RESOLVED, that in the death of J. T. Matthews the bar of Chattanooga has lost one or its abest members, and tLe community one of it's most useful and valued citizens, sincere friend and good man.
 RESOLVED, that we deeply sympathize with his bereaved family, and tender to them our sincere cOndolence in this their sad affiiction and irreparable loss.
 RESOLVED, that the Chairman of this meeting designate some member of the bar t1 present copy of these resolutions to the courts with a request that the same be spEead upon the records, and that copy be also sent to his family.
 Unanimously adopted, September 10th, 1910.
