There was very little excitement on account of the election and the one sided nature of the vote was quite surprising for it had been reported during the afternoon that good stiff fight was being made against the franchise.
 While the vote is rot a large one as compared with the eligible vote. it was probably the largest and most representative vote ever cast on a proposition where there was no bond issue at stake and no organized op- position. In other words it was only the favorable vote that came out and presumably not all of that.

CHAPTER xxx.
Meet the Prince of Wales.

Meet the Prince of Wales.
Just as We were playing the end of
the first half of the third inning of
that first game in England l discov-
cred something of commotion in the
vicinity of the club house, and a few
moments later the well-known face OF
the prince of Wales, afterward Ed
ward VII, appeared at the window.
gave a signal to the boys and we as
sembled at the home plate and sent
up three rousing cheers and tiger
for his royal highness. At this the
crowd went wild and the prince dis
appeared.
At the close of the fifth inning we
were informed that his royal highness
would like to meet US, and we wiped
the moisture from our brows and the
hands and proceeded to the clubhouse.
President Spalding introduced us one
by one to the future king of England,
and the prince shook hands with each
of us in the most cordial manner,
without a sign of the loftiness that
had been such prominent feature at
our presentation to the American min
lister at Rome. His highness chatted
very affably for some time, asking a
lot of questions about the game, and
even making some suggestions as to
how, in his opinion, it might be i'm
proved l didn't agree with him, but
| managed to keep mum, although
could have put up a good argument
against what he was saying. There is
newspaper story, which was circu-
lated widely at the time, that l up and
contradicted the prince right before
the whole bunch. want to say right
here that | did nothing of the kind
hard work not to butt in and set him
right.
AS we left the prince he bowed to
each of us pleasantly and took seat
in the window to watch the finish o!
the game The fog had come back
and the fielding of both teams was
really remarkable when the fact is
taken into consideration that ball
fifty feet in the air couldn't be seen
at all. Healy and Mark Baldwin did
the twirling, and they acquitted them
selves nobly in spite of the luncheon
they had taken aboard There wasn't
happier man in the tight little isle"
than your friend Arson when the
game, at the end Of nine innings, re-
suited in our favor by score q I to
4, and we had eaten every bit as
much as the others, too.
The London papers devoted great
deal of space to the game, and took oc-
casion to compliment every member
of both teams. / remember that some

1t from the description. Some of the
journals professed to see great merit
in baseball, but most of them agreed
that 1t was vastly inferior to cricket

rounds of the press is to the erfec,

of the Americans and the twirlers had
to slow down considerably before
they managed to land on the ball.
Doctor Grace making the only safe hit
of the day.
We returned to London that night
and next day played our farewell
game in the big metropolis on the
grounds of the Essex Country club be-
fore crowd Of 5000 persons. Crane
and Earl and Baldwin and DAILY were
the batteries. The game was chock
full of hard hitting, and although the
score-12 to in favor of the Chicagos
wouldn't have pleased an American
crowd little bit, it tickled those Eng
lishmen immensely, and next morning
all the papers declared it the best
game ever played on English soil.
1t had been arranged to pull off a
throwing contest after the game be-
tween Crane and Conner, an Aus
tralian champion, but the latter backed
out and Crane gave a solo exhibition,
throwing a cricket ball ITO yards and
a baseball 100 yards. That evening
we were treated to banquet and our

1t had been arranged that we should

special train in which we Travelled on
that trip. 1t consisted of nine cars,
two of which were dining saloons. two
smoking and reception cars and the
balance sleepers. The exterior of the
train was exceedingly swell, the body
color of the coaches being white en-
amel with trimmings of gold and seal
brown and the royal arms in gold and
scarlet on the carriage doors, while in
each side of the coaches was the In

that afternoon was one that would
have delighted an American crowd.

quested him to explain the game of
baseball to him. AS the story runs,
John labored with his highness for an
hour, but didn't succeed in making
him understand, and at the close Of
the confab the only thing the prince
would admit was that it might be
good game, but wasn't in the same
class with cricket. I've never heard
Tener either affirm or deny this yarn
perhaps he didn't like to admit that
he was so unsuccessful in making SO
simple thing as baseball clear even
to an Englishman. I'm inclined to
think, however that John did not
have that private audience with the
prince. He wasn't pitching that day,
and | see no reason why he should
have been singled out as spokesman
for the great American game.
Next day we played a game on
Lords Cricket grounds. the finest in
England at that time. and we gave the
crowd of 1000 a mighty good show
for their money. The crowd must
have thought so, too, for never heard
cago. 1t was a close tusgle until the
last moment. when Baldwin and l
made errors that gave the All-Amer-
icas the game, they winning by a
single run.
The following day we played game
on the Crystal Palace grounds at
Sydenham before big crowd and the
All-Americas won it by a score of to
2. The next morning we left London
for Bristol, the home of the famous
cricketers, the Grace brothers, who
had given us a special invitation to
visit them. Arriving there at noon,
we were met by turnouts at the sta
ton and driven to the Gloucester
Cricket grounds, brand new and about
the best in England. The very first
thing on the program was hearty
dinner, and, although we knew from
experience that the game to be played
Immediately after would suffer in con-
sequence, we did not let that inter-
fere with our enjoyment of the sumpt-
uous repast, for such 1t certainly was.
The duke of Beaufort did the honors
on that occasion, and although, as a
general rule, have mighty little use
for dukes, had to make an exception
in favor of Beaufort, who was one of

sports ever ran up against He re-
minded me of my father.
Well, l leave you to imagine what
that game was. l have no reason to
kick, for we won, but don't mind tell
| ing you that it wouldn't do to put up
game of ball like that in America.

CHAPTER XVIII.

u Win at Monte Carlo, But Lose a
Game in Paris.
AS we passed through the Italian
city of Pisa on our way to France
we got fine view of the leaning
tower. That curious piece of archi-
lecture was one of the few things
remembered of my earliest school
days, and I probably should have for
gotten that but for an incident con-
nected with picture of the tower in
my old .Mitchell's geography.
There was a boy in my class named
Sig Granger, whose intellectual de-
velopment wasn't of the highest, which
fact made him the butt of good
many Jokes. | regarded Sid as tip
top fellow, and some of the tricks the
boys worked on him made me so hot
that finally l gave out a proclamation
to the effect that from that time on
any one who trifled with Sid Granger
would have to square himself with
me-
1t wasn't long until had an oppor-
tunity to make good. Sid came to me
one day in a peck Of trouble. He had
bought new geography at the Mar
shalltown bookstore, and one Of the
boys-a fellow disliked cordially
had pointed out to him that one of the
pictures was not on the level and adj
v1sed him to return the book and ask
for a perfect copy. Sid took his ad-
vice and tried to exchange the geog-
raphy, and of course got laughed at
for his attempt to stralghten the lean
ing tower of Pisa. That fired me, and
l lost no time in picking a quarrel
with the jokesmith, and gave him a
sound thrashing.
Shortly afterward Sid asked me con-
adentially If l really believed that tow
er was so out of plumb. was obliged
to confess that didn't; that I'd never
believe such thing could stand alone
until / saw it. Sid agreed with me
and has probably never changed his
opinion. l have, but reached middle
age before did it.
1t had been our intention to play a
game Of ball at Nice, but when we got
there we found there wasn't a spot in
the neighborhood suitable for a dia-
imond So the game had to be given
up, to our great disappointment and
that of several hundred Americans
who were stopping at Nice and were
longing for something new. We tried
to console ourselves by going over to
Monte Carlo, and although we didn't
succeed in breaking the bank in that
iworld-famous gambling establishment
], for one, had no reason to complain
of my luck. haven't forgotten, also
although possibly he has, that Mr.
Spalding was winner on that occa
sion, as he usually is In everything he
goes into.
After we got into Paris 1t was al
most a week before we were given
"a chance to show the Parisians how
much better they could enjoy life II
they were familiar with the greatest
game ever devised by the hand OF
man. I don't mind telling you that

we went in for all we were worth to
see ourselves If things we had
heard about the gay capital We're
true. 1t was a pretty big job to under
take, but we were mighty Industrious,
great deal thought Mrs. Arson came
pretty close to the mark when she OBJ
served, toward the close of the week,
that in order to do full justice to
Paris one should never have learned
to sleep.
1t will always be a matter of Won
derment to me how the members of
our party were able to play as good
ball as they did after that week of
sightseeing in Paris. Both sides were
anxious to get the game and as con-
sequence the playing was spirited.
We had very distinguished crowd
that day in the Pare Aristotique,
where the game was played. 1t was
on the bank of the Seine, just opposite
the exposition buildings and within
sight of the big Eiffel tower, and it
was walled in by enclosed gardens and
splendid residences. President Car
not had promised to be present, but at
the last moment the preventing some
thing happened.
1t was the second inning of that e1-
ceedingly warm game that the famous
"stone WALL infield of the Chicagos
came to grief on account of an injury
to Ed. Williamson from which that
splendid player never fully recovered.
He had taken his base on balls and
was trying to steal second when he
tripped and fell, tearing his kneecap
on the sharp sand and gravel of which
the playing surface was composed.
He was plotted by his wife-who was
among the spectators-to his hotel,
and he and his wife thought that a
few days of rest would bring him
around all right, but such did not
prove to be the case.
Williamson's accident made it nee
essary for Baldwin to go to first while
Ryan took Williamson's place at
short That weakened our team very
materially, for Ed. was always a tower
of strength to US in our infield. We
didn't seem to be able to bat with our
customary vim and it was not until
the sixth inning that a home run by
Ryan and a two-bagger by Petit and
a passed ball enabled us to put two
men over the plate. AS luck would
have it, these were all the runs we
got that day, and when the game was
called the score stood to 2 in favor
| of our opponents.
That night We crossed the English
channel and / discovered that l had
never experienced the full cussedness
of seasickness until | took that trip
from Dieppe to New Haven. Accord
ing to the captain, veteran of thirty
years experience in channel weather,
| 1t was the worst ever. Now that l
come to think of it most Of the sea
captains l have met are always ex-
| periencing the worst ever. When we
landed on British soil next morning
we looked more like bunch of gone
to-seeds" than party of American
ball players. We had expected to play
our first game in England on the day
OF our arrival, but we knew better
than to attempt anything SO dead GER
tain to be failure and to disgrace
us and bring the fair fame of base
ball into disrepute.
So we took couple of days off and
went sightseeing. Mrs Arson had al.
ways been properly shocked because
on my previous visit to London l had
seen SO little of the town. She de-

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

Metchnikoff the great French chemist has recently stated that alcohol present in the blood acts as paralyzant upon the white blood corpuscles; which are the defending army against infec. tious germs, giving such germs the right of way, producing dip theria, pneumonia, etc: and that alcoholism is one of the most fruitful sources of the white plague"
 Professor Kraeplin of Vienna, became converted from mod crate drinker into total ab, stainer when he discovered by actual demonstrations how small quantity of alcohol it takes to immediately and preceptible i'm pair the machinery of the mind. Concerning his experience he says: T became total abstainer only as result of scientific con- victions. Again he adds: "Even if single dose of alcohol had a favorable effect upon body or mind, nevertheless in the face of the everywhere recognized alcohol evil, we must extermin- ate it root and branch because there is no other salvation from misery"
 Why not the christian part at least of the world, say the same of alcohol's twin evil tobacco, for it also produces a degenarcy that is alarming to one who knows the scientific facts in the case.
