Letter from Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 17.-Your
Fairfax correspondent has "gone a
swimmin'." Seems like long way
to come for baths, but do believe 1t
is the place of all the world for
health baths for many and varied
complaints, such as nervous break
down, malaria, besides rheumatism,
etc. At Memphis we caught glimpse
of your good town's-people, the
Bambergs, but they were soon lost
to sight, but not to memory dear.
Going to different bath houses we
have never met here.
After crossing the Father of Wa
ters on our way here, we commenced
to notice the fields of Arkansas. Corn
and cotton were not as good as ours,
but the rice fields Glands that few
years ago were called worthless
were something wonderful to see,
and so we'll irrigated.
A remedy has been found here to
cure Bright's disease. Twelve miles
distant are the Mt. Valley Springs.
Those waters are said to cure that
disease, and we know many of the
parties camping there who have been
much benefited already. One dear
lady in our bath house who had
come four thousand miles (from
California; for the Hot Springs baths
exclaimed: ''It is just like going
into the Pool of Sloan; just step
in, and you are healed"
On car line we visited one Of the
finest ostrich farms in America. The
largest alligator farm is reached by
the same car line. The stores abound
with beautiful souvenirs made Of diff
ferent parts of the latter. A steel
observation tower 165 feet high has
been built on top of Hot Springs
mountain.
There are forty-four hot springs,
and ever so many mineral springs OF
cold water. Said to be 10000
visitors here every year. Plenty OF
room here for all Bamberg and Barn
well county folks, so come on, and
we won't feel so home-sick.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 25.-H. Rush,
director of athletics at University
School, better known to Clevelanders
as Speedy" thinks the Maps might
add to their run total and thereby in
crease their number of Victories dur
ing the coming season by a very
simple plan. ..s-.-, ~. ...... .....,
Rush's plan is this: He thinks the
value Of the Maps as base runners
would be greatly enhanced if they
were taught the art of getting good
start. No one knows the value Of a
lightning start better than Rush. He
was a wonderful sprinter in his day.
He has mark of 9 AS seconds for
the 100-yard dash and was pitted
against Tewksbury and other stars in
days gone by.
The Maps have several, very fast
men on their roster. Joe Jackson
looms up as speedy as any man in
the American League when under
way. But Joe is just about the poor
est of starters. Rush believes that il
Joe was taught the art Of starting
