Grin Of the Game.

Late ia the baseball season. every
year, one or more disappointed mag
nates'' say that the methods Of man-
aging baseball clubs have bccofne too
complicated and expensive. They de-
clare that there must be fewer players

a good deal Of popular and newspaper

POPULAR AT HOME.

Ex-Secretary Ballinger did not lose
popularity with the people of Seattle
a city of which he was once the eff
eient mayor. He was received there
with the same heartiness that Senator
Lodge was at Nahant-he owns the
town and the town owns him, and
he was received and escorted about
the city, and the people cheered and
sang, and red fire was burned, and
there was q most cordial reception.
1t must have seemed good to him to
be. among true friends and admirers
after these weary years of criticism
and defamation of character which he
has been pleased to designate as a
conspiracy for his political destruction
we all realize what it must have been.
for we know what it is to have the
folks at home glad to see us. When
he gets settled down and the cookies
Of his heart get warm again, he will
quite likely forget his enemies, lose
his fighting spirit. and basl in the ad-
miration and love which Seattle has
for him. This would INDEED be a real
manifestation of wisdom

The MINORITY LEADER.

Uncle Joe Cannon is ambitious to
be the minority leader in the Sixty
second congress, aud 1t is said that a.
large part Of the republicans are in
favor of his restoration: but it would
he better for the party If younger
man was selected.
There are able and ambitious re-
publicans who would like the honor.
and among those named are Mr.. Weeks
Of Massachusetts; Mr.. Olmsted of
Pennsyivania is another. and Mr..
Mann of Illinois is third. Mr.. Payne
of New York. Mr.. Hill of Connecti-
cut. and other experienced represent
tatives are considered as being capa-
BILE and right in line.
A large part of the republicans OF
Connecticut would doubtless be pleas
cd TO see Congressman Hill land this
honor. because he has distinguished
himself at Washington and is popular
At home.
The republicans will disappeint the
people of New England If they restore
Mr.. Cannon. since he has fallen into
dishonor with his party because OF
his intolersnt ways, and they think
that he has no further claim upon his
party for the leadership.

Furniture Market Of Malta.

There is good market for furniture
of reasonable price here, particularly
for useful furniture, such as beds,
serving tables, sideboards, chests of
drawers, wash stands, wardrobes, COM
modes and chairs. Oak is not much
erican black walnut Is even more pop
ular than mahogany. When a Mall
tese buys black walnut furniture he
inquiries whether the wood ID 'Ameri-
can or Sicilian. He prefers the Amer
lean because the Sicilian wood is often
gwormy.
Brass and iron bedsteads have a
steady sale here. practically all of
English manufacture. One kind of all :
brass bed for which there is a. good
demand sells here for about $40. A
cheaper kind, of black metal with
brass mountings, brings SIS to $32.
There are also cheaper kinds.
Wash stands usually have marble
tops and the bowl rests in a hole in
the middle of the marble top. About
one third of the bowl is inserted In
the hole. Chests of drawers and COM
modes also have marble tops. Thing
is popular in all kinds of furniture
here A row Of tiles is often run along
the back of a wash stand. Tiles are
found in mounted mirrors and hat
stands also.
1t should be understood that very
expensive furniture finds almost nc
market in Malta. Good, strong. sub
stantial goods. built to last, but not
clumsy, are in demand.

for goods on the dock in Malta. This
is important IL the Maltese mer-
