He KNEW HIM WELL.
But That Was No Excuse For Puhliclv
Insulting Him.

But That Was No Excuse For Publicly
insulting Him.
About the year 1S47 Charles Webb
was playing ut the old Chatham thea
ter New York. and during the en-
gagelneut he became intimate with
young fish dealer named Shap}eiyh.
doing business in Washington market.
The fish dealer was n genius in more
ways than one. In his younger days
he had belonged to a juvenile dramat-
ic company. and in his manhood. since
making Webb's acquaintance. he had
been behind the curtain during re-
hearsal and had really fancied he would
''dearly love to appear just once"
Webb became satisfied that Shan
leigh could act and was willing to
please him. and 1t SO happened that
an opportunity presented itself which
had not been anticipated. The night
Of Webb'S benefit had been fixed. on
which occasion he was to play the
character of Hamlet. The actor who
had been set apart for the character
of Polonius was unexpectedly called
away. in which emergency Webb
sought his friend ut Washington mar
ket and asked him IL he would help
him. Shaplcigh was only too glad to
do it, The eventfnl night came. and
front box had been reserved for Shap-
leiSh's wife and little daughter and
other relatives and friends The house
was packed. witt, every bit Of standing
room occupied. The play commenced
and all went well. the beneficiary re-
ceiving round after round Of applause
on his first entrance. and 1t was the
same with the kind friend who had

valuable services The first act went
Off smoothly. In the second act. scene

know me. my lordy' PoloniuS asks
"ExcelIcnt well. You are 4 tishnlon-
ger" Hamlet replies. according to the
text. This aroused the Indignation Of
Shap|eigh'S wife. and. forgetting all
else but the direct insult offered to
her husband. she exclaimed loud
enough to be heard in every part OF
the house: well. 1t amt very nice OF
you. Mr.. Webb. after Tom has been

with an assuring nod: Its all right.

The demurrage rule allowing a shipper 72 hours in which to move his shipment be- fore demurrage can be charged by the railroads is in conflict with the inter- state commerce rule. which allows but AS hours. The question was presented on an interstate shipment to the Cassel mills of this city. The mill took more than AS hours to unload it's cars and the railroad demanded demuITage, which the mill refused to pay.

LYNCH ORDERS
 GAME REPLAYED

New York, June e.-President Thomas J. Lynch of the National league today threw out the Chieago-Pittsburg game of the morning of May 30, which Chicago had protested. and ordered the game played over.
 President Lynch says in his decision;
 Tn the eighth inning, Shean of Chicago was on first base with one out Archer hit a fly ball to the infield which was dropped by Wagner and the ball was thrown to second for a force out. With both Shean and Archer holding first base Field Umpire Doyle called Archer out claiming that Wagner had Intentionally dropped the ball.
 After Doyle had told Archer he was out and had ordered him to leave the base Manager Clarke of Pittsburg ap- healed to Umpire-in-Chief Klem that Dovle's decision was wrong and that ghean should have been declared out in stead of Archer. The appeal was allowed and Shean was declared out. Archer, in the meantime, having left first base as di- rected. was touched with the ball and also declared out by Umpire Klem.
 "A careful investigation shows that the field umpire erred in calling Archer out instead of Shean and that Umpire-inChief Klem likewise erred in calling the second putout. The only decision Umpire Klem shouId have made on Manager clarke g anneal was to reverse Doyle's decision and call Shean out and send Archer back to first.
 .The protest is allowed and the game as played is stricken from the records and ordered to be re-played.'

where spirit is always burning. You can count on Powell school every time to come back again and again without ever streak of yellow" and her boys are nearly always found fighting for the rag if there be such a thing in the air.
 Powell school has made of East park a real civic center. Principal T. c. Young gives it his personal attention; directs the games, and upholds the spirit of fair play The great thing about MT Young is that he is a boy himself. He can play basketball or knock out grounders. or anything else the fellows want to do, and he has the hearts of the young sters tied up to him.
 But Powell school sets an example worthy of imitation in the use of ath- letics to increase school efficiency. No boy is allowed to appear in the name of the school on the athletic field who has not kept up a good average in his lessons, and often the best players appear sadly on the side lines, because they are making up" for lost time in the school room.
 The self confidence which Professor Young Is engendering in the youngsters will serve them long In later life. It is an inspiration to watch them, and to know them. They are genuine boys. They go into win. and usually do One must know the boys and the leader to really understand the long list of Powell school victories.
 Five years ago, relay teams were or ganized in all grades in the Powell school and the boys made their first efforts in the athletic field. The street in front of the school was their only track and the recess was the time for many heated contest. Finally. a picked team from the school challenged the boys de- partment of the Y. M. C. A. and the result was a series of three relay races
