O der the treatment of sulphur baths and

= Bill Cunningham, whose performances
on the road have been far from what
his work last season promised, will take
rest and there is a chance that If
the combination of Schaefer, Elberfeld,
Mcbride and Conroy in the infield is a
success, Cunningham may not get a
regular place again.
Schaefer had Trainer Tuthill, of the
Detroit Tigers. treat his Charley
Horse" yesterday and he is confident
, of getting back in the game with great
er activity than he has yet shown
around first corner. Until Manager Nc
sAeer finds better first baseman, Schae

Sacker of the team.
Playing moth-eaten ball in both cities
they dropped eight games in a row.
Their game was lifeless. and the pitch
ers either pitched poor ball or were
given wretched support in the pinches.
While twice in St Louis they obtained
, hut three hits. only Harkness, of the
Naplanders, was able to stop their hit
ting in Cleveland.
In no game in the East did the team
look like a fair hitting proposition. 1t
, remained for them to strike their hit

McAleer finds his only grain of COM
fort. In Detroit the Nationals dis
played more pepper and dash than any
where this season, and, perhaps from
, now on every club facing them will
have to keep playing ball every minute
They should have cleaned up all four
games in Detroit.
The Nationals left Detroit at $40 last
night in q big siXteen-section Pullman,
arriving here this morning in time for
breakfast. They are due in the Capital
tonight at $40 o'clock, and morning
practice will be in order from the jump
tomorrow.

Penn is favorite.
I would not be greatly surprise to
see Pennsylvania win that intercolle-
giate track meet at Cambridge today

Competing against the pick Of the
colleges Of America it ii a pretty stiff
proposition Of attempting to pick VIC
tory, but it looks to me as though Penn
should be the team IL Cornell can be
disposed of.
Michigan Is sending East a star team,
but as these athletes are depending
upon first places to win the total Is
likely to fall short.
Incidentally, the class Of athletes is
considerably below the standard of past
years. although a couple of marks may
go by the board.

Although the team is composed of
men who are rather small, they are

their efforts have been in vain, and
the dismantled pile on the Acropolis
s. i'll wears the crown Of architectural
excellence.
This famous building, made of the
finest Pentelic marble, Is 228 feet in
length by 101 feet in width, with a
height at the apex of the pediment Of
sixty-flve feet. It's cost was $780,
900. reckoned in present day values.
The renowned frieze Of the Parthenon
ran along the top Of the wall forty
feet from the ground. 1t was three
and a half feet in height and $40 feet
in length, and represented the great
Panathenic procession, which was
held every five years in honor Of
Athena, the protecting goddess of the
city
For 1000 years this glorious temple
stood there on the Acropolis, as per-
feet as it was when Phidias COM
pleted it nearly 500 years before the
birth Of Christ, and 1t would have
been standing just as complete today
but for that rascally Venetian shell.
In the year mentioned above Athens,
still in the possession Of the Turks,
was besieged by the Venetians, and

THE PARTHENON.
It Was the Most Beautiful Edifice
Ever Erected by Man.

The Parthenon on the Acropolis at
Athens. the most beautiful edifice ever
erected by the hand of man, was
wrecked by Venetian bomb on Sep
tember 26, 1887.
When the sun rose on the morning
of that evil day the finest building on
the finest site In the world" stood ar
rayed in all it's glory, just as it did
when Pericles received it from the
hands of it's divine architects and
builders, just as it did when Plato and
Socrates gazed with wonder upon its
simple majesty. and when that days
sun went down the glorious temple
was a wreck. its majesty dismantled,
its beauty marred forever.
This wonderful building, even In
its ruins. has charmed the world for
going on three centuries, and while
those ruins endure they will continue
their. hold upon the artistic sense Of
mankind.
The master artists of the nations
have been trying for more than 200
years to make something that would
look like the Parthenon, but so far

On the Conductor.-Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler was talking in the sa-
loon of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, about
American honesty. according to the
New York Times.
For all our undertaking writer's,
he said, II think that the American
people are the most honest people in
the world. Is an American ever sub
jected at home to the petty cheats and
extortions to which he Is subjected in
Europe?"
Then, apropos of foreign honesty
DIR. Butler told a railroad story.
"On a foreign railroad" he said. "a
commuter had a row with the con-
ductor. At the end Of the row the
commuter turned to friend and said:
well, the P. D. r. will never see
another cent of my money after this
The conductor. who was depart
ing. looked back and snarled:
"'Whatll you do?> Walk
"'Oh, no. said the commuter. I'll
stop buying tickets and pay my fare

Censorinq a Telephone.


For the first time a war censorship
has had to take active cognizance of
the telephone as a news transmitter.
Besides cutting the only cable from
Tripoli, the Italian government has
issued orders that no conversation
about the war shall be held by tele-
phone, which is the ordinary means of
communication for newspapers be-
tween Paris and Milan.
Italian papers are very strongly rep
resented in Paris, most of them keep
ing three or four correspondents there
who telephone their news every night
and as experiments have proved that
more words can be spoken in given
time in Italian than in any other Ian
guage, a Commute talk each night
fills several columns. When the war
began the order was given that If any
telephoning mentioned the war the
telephone operator should immediate
ly turn on a buzzer, which prevented
conversation until she had disconnect-
ed the speakers. Her orders were
simple; no one was to speak in any
language but Italian or French, and
there was to be no war talk, however
innocent.
When every one was anxious to
know if the Italian troops had landed
at Tripoli without any opposition, one
correspondent in Paris hoped to evade
the censorship by stratagem, 80 ne
called up his Milan representative:
That you Smith?"
Yes"
All we'll"
Yes"
Mrs. Smith wep?"
Yes"
Did she arrive all right?'
Yes"
she and the children had no both
er in landing?"
At this point the buzzer began. The
watchful censor was suspicious and
would take no chances.-London Let
