EASE BALL sUpPLrMrNr

With more features than have ever be-
fore appeared in one edition, the annual
baseball supplement of the North Amert-
can will appear Sunday, May II.
For years this special baseball number
has been regarded as the greatest work of
its kind ever published, and this springs
edition will far surpass all previous ones.
Color pages, illustrating the speed that
is required in the national game, and
group pictures of the Athletics and
Philles are only few of the features.
The Tristate page contains pictures of
all the players IN the League, and spec
ial story on the batting, fielding and other
figures of the men in the circuit.
diplomatic Strokes of our Baseball
Jeffersons, an illustrated story, gives the
fans good idea of the inside workings
of big league team, and contains many
humorous incidents about stars of the
past and present.
All the minor leagues, Independent and
amateur teams from all parts of Pennsy1-
ware are given special mention in the big
supplement Pictures of the managers
and captains of 100 of these teams are in
c1uded.
On the school and college pages, all the
leaders are shown, and there are stories
on the progress of the various mines.
A page is devoted to the New York
State, M ain Line, Columbia County and
Iricounty Leagues, with interesting
stories and pictures The Bucks county,
North Penn and Delaware county leagues
are also featured.
A complete directory and personnel of
the Philadelphia and nearby semiprofes-
sional and amateur teams occupy two
pages, with pictures of the captains and
managers. The supplement shows the
marked strides baseball thas made, and is
well worth purchasing.

Investigating ExnIos;ves

At the suggestion of the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners, N B. Niece, of
Manahawken, appeared before the board
last week to give particulars regarding
complaint he had preferred against the
Tuckerton Railroad Company for the
manner in which it handles explosives.
MIR. Niece objected particularly to a ship
ment of dynamite, which. he said, had
been transported In car attached to a
passenger train.
In answer to the complaints of Mr.. Niece,
the Tuckerton Railroad advised the board
that 1t was not in the habit of handling
explosives, and as commercial PROPOSE
ton would rather not do so at any time.
The railroad contended that the only times
at which it handles dynamite was when
there were wrecks along the coast to be
destroyed. Under these circumstances
the railroad submitted that 1t would be q
hardship to compel the running of special
train for such small shipments are made
The board took both the complaint and
answer under consideration.

SMART SET FOR JUNE

The Smart Set Magazine for June APP
pears with brand new cover design, the
work of James Montgomery Flagg 1t is
noticed that the new cover embodies the
same idea expressed in the old one,
worked out, however, along much more
attractive and -to-date lines. It is evil
dent that Mr.. Thayer, the new owner,
who has already to his credit large share
in the upbuilding of one great periodical,
EyergbOdy's Magazine, as well as The
DeZineatoy and The Ladies' Home Journal,
is going slowly in the changes he is intro
ducing here. He has, however, it is
apparent, taken the first steps toward full
filling his promise to make the magazine
s'smart from cover to cover by introduce
ing tinted frontispiece, new type effects
and censorship, both ethical and artistic,
of advertisements, which lend the publ
cation an appearance of complete removal
ton. And further steps toward artistic
attractiyeness and literary excellence are
limited at in following issues. Mr.. Thayer
on his Something Personal page, refers
to numerous letters received from readers
deploring any radical change in the basic
idea of the cover-showing an overwhelnl-
ing sentiment in favor of fixed and per-
1uanent cover design rather than a change
of idea from month to month. The front
ispiece this month is reproduction of a
drawing by Rose Cecil O'Nei1l illustrat-
ing Keats poem LA Belle Dame Sans
Merci."

earned. Consequently, when the manage

enabled to present this drama of coast to

made-and hence this exceptional offering
at popular prices.

gorical play, and hinges on the book of
John. the Orpheum production the
cast of characters will include Mr. Howell

boy, Miss Edith Walls, as Mary; Mr.. ercy
Winter, as Rev. William Smith; Mr. Will
mer Walter, as Robert Smith, the drain
man; Miss Marion Barney as Auntie, the
Wears wife, and Mr.. Edwin Middleton,
the Bishop. Considering the merit of the
play, and the promise of the Orpheum
standard with which it will be presented,
no one should overlook the opportunity
that is presenting itself to witness this
delightful and regenerating play. There
win be no advance in prices, and the usual
daily matinee will be given.

his candidacy for the Democratic uomina-

willingness upon call from any section to

important laws passed by the late Legis-
