pionship teams more than "buffaloed"
at the beginning of each race.
Experts Had Bad Dope
At the beginning of the season the
only individual stars on the Cardin-
ais, according to the experts reckon
ing, were Bresnahan, Sallee and Kon-
etchy. Some few were willing to con-
cede that Miller Huggins, because of
his quickness of foot and his COM
bativeness was above the average.
Hauser was recognized as quick in
fielder, but as being so deficient in
batting he could hardly measure up
to the high standard by which in-
helders are now measured. The out
field was considered as below the av-
erage in hitting, and as in no way
above it in fielding. Harmon was
looked upon as pitcher who could
now and then perform in brilliant
style, but who, as rule, was weak.
Steele and Golden were adjudged to
be merely forlorn hopes, and Mowrey
at third was regarded as a fairly
good, reliable baseman, but as being
several removes from some of the
stars who cavort around the far cor
ner. Yet with this material, Bresna-
han has gathered an aggregation that
is now considered one of the hardest
clubs in the league to beat.
OF course, eastern fans pay a lot
of attention to those bottle-throwing
episodes in st. Louis. They get far
more attention from the news-gather-
ing associations and in the newspa-
pers than any class of brilliancy in
playing. and the general impression
Is being built up that for a visiting
team to win in st. Louis they have to
devote half their time to defending
themselves from attack by the fans
and the other half to the game in
hand. If the last umpire to figure in
an incident of this sort at League park
had been other than Johnstone there
might have been bigger howl over
it, but Johnstone has made himself
unpopular here, and while New York
ers don't throw bottles. they say harsh

tainted. Afterward he declared he
would get shave, an experience he
had not had for forty years.
Steinman came to this country when
an infant from Germany. His par
ents were with him until seven months
after their arrival and made their
home on the old Perrysville road, near
where the famous old white Horse
tavern stands. After the death of his
parents, Julian Steinman and wife. the
boy was adopted by a farmer near
where the town of New Brighton now
stands. firing of the drudgery and
feeling that his parents were still
living, young Steinman ran away.
Eventually, through strange chain
of incidents, he landed at the former
home of his parents, to discover they
were dead.
Suffering with fatigue and hunger,
he went into the woods near Wex-
ford. several miles from the Perrys-
Vile pike. Here he constructed a cab
IN, which he has since occupied. He
ekes out living by working for farm
ers in the neighborhood. He has
stunned the cities always. Accord
ing to Steinman, he has never seen
a trolley car but once, although he
is familiar with the "honk honk" of
automobiles. His clothing, he de-
clares, has always been brought from
town for him my farmers.
Three days ago Steinman was in.
duced by an autoist to take ride.
The old white Horse" tavern was
encountered on the way. Steinman
was induced to go in and take q glass
of beer. Although he had used tobac-
co for years, this had been his first
taste Of intoxicants.
While standing at the bar he in
cidently remarked that he had never
seen himself in mirror. This was
after some Of the loungers had been
toying with his whiskers, nearly three
feet long. Thinking he was jesting,
one Of them pushed Steinman in front
of mirror.
"Just look at yourself" was the re-
mark made to the hemit
"Great Scott. or something more
emphatic, Steinman exclaimed, that
can't be myself. l must have chang
ed some since saw myself in fish
ing pool over forty years ago. 1t
can't be me-"
After making this remark, Stein
man reeled and fell. The fainting
man was picked up and revived. He
still insisted that 1T was the first time
,he ever saw himself .as he really was.
When told that a Transformation
could be made, he expressed desire
that it be done as soon as possible
He also said he could not recollect of
having his hair trimmed except by
the clippers used by farm hands to
shear horses.

come over her. How long she re-

.P|T|FUL CASE Of

Winnipeg Officials Unearth an
Instance of Dire Want and
Distress

Winnipeg, Man., July 22.-In two
and a half story house on Stella ave-
nue. in which twelve families live, a
woman and eight children were found
yesterday. The sole contents of the
room were bed and a stove. The
screenless window, slightly opened,
had admitted thousands of flies which
covered everything and everybody.
From an agent of the Associated
Charities it was learned that the wo-
man, Stauislawa Slawyk, herself a
widow with four children, married in
Chicago in 1910, widower Paul
Slawyk. This man at once proceed
ed to spend the larger portion of the
$1,000 insurance Mrs. Slawyk had re-
ceived at the death of her first hus-
band. He left her and came with his
three children to Winnipeg whittier

rival he suggested returning to Chi
cago and she gave him 800 % pur-
chase tickets for the Journey. He
left with the money and did not re-
turn. At the instance of the Dominion

Dry Goods

New York, April 9.-The tone of the cotton goods market showed some slight improvement durisg the past week con sequent upon advances in white sheetings and A bleached cottons and fuller sales of wide point cloths. At the same time values are so low in relation to produc- ing costs that the mills gave notice in several sections of an intention further to curtail the operations.
 The immediate situation is one of re- sisting further depression in prices, while cotton is held so firm but the fact that mills are summing still in excess of the actual demand for cloths give agents cause for doubting their ability to secure the values mills are holding for
 The export shipments to date this year are twice the volume of q year ago and recent sales of export goods to China will provide an outlet for the product of two or three of the largest southern plants for some weeks to come.
 Fall River sold but 10000 pieces of print cloths last week. At this center several mills adopted four days a week schedule until further notice. One large printer purchased fair-sized quantity Of wide cloths in the New York market and it served to stiffen values sixteenth on some counts. Jobbers report light trade here and the retail business has been held back by the adverse weather.

COTTON TRADE WILL WATCH THE LEADERS Many Are Certain of a Bull
 Campaign STATISTICS BULLISH Dispute When Market Opens Will Be Over Whether the New Crop
 Is Getting Too Much
 Rain

New Orleans, April 9-This week, more than ever. the cotton trade will watch the bull leaders for some sign regard ing their intentions toward the summer months While many of the rank ana file among the professional traders are morally certain that there is to be bull campaign. the bull leaders nave made no announcement to that effect and have done nothinga that will stand in place of such an announcement The fla ct that they are all in New York is significant, however, and the generally accepted explanation of their silence and inactivity at the moment is that they are waiting until it is too late for their utterances or buying to attract much spot cotton to New York to go against May contracts.
 Statistics this last week were extreme ly bullsh and pointers to the movement indicate that it will be another week of small receipts. while reports from Eng land. both official and private, would not indicate any decrease in the out-of- sight movement in that direction. Should statistics continue to strengthen there $ bound 10 pc Hlote, UT itSs "->SitSi''S'' f' the old crop deliveries.
 So far as the new crop months are
 concerned 1t will be a weather market
 entirely. With the probabilities over
 Sunday taken into consideration, the dis
 pute when the market opens will be over
 the question of whether the new crop
 is getting too much rain. Low temper
 atures may be in evidence and if they
 are low enough will swing the balance
 in favor of the long side. According 10
 reports of the best character that are
 coming in from the interior the cotton
 belt as a whole now needs dry and warm
 weather in order that the planting of
 cotton may be carried on and to allow
 the seed already planted to germinate.
 Also. in the earlier sections, wet weather
 will interfere with chopping the crop to
 stand and will have tendency to
 cause foul fields. Thus, fair weather.
 with seasonable temperatures, will be re-
 garded as bearish influence, while TUT ther rains will not be bearish but puilish.
 This week will be a very snort one
 as the market will close Thursdav nlgna for the usual Good Fritay tilple hoh- days This will result in evenng-up oper- stions on a large scale Wednesday and Thursday Threatened anti-future legislation prob ah,v will play no part in the market this week. owing to the announcement from Washington by those who are sup norting such bills that they will not ar- tempt to get vote until next Decem- her.

NEWS INCIDENTS
 ALONE GOVERNED Last Weeks Stock Market
 Very Sluggish MUCH CONJECTURAL Considerable Attention Is Given to Governmental and Political Af-
 fairs in Bearing on
 Finance

New York. April 9.-News incidents governed prices of stocks last week. The general list was sluggish and threw no light on the opinions held by the specu lative public Much of the so-called news was conjectural and had to do with divi- dend prospects, readjusted relations, new financing and the like.
 The quick passing of these influences and the lapse into neglect of the special stocks affected showed the strained na- ture of the markets movements. The outcome of the Standard Oil and Amer ican Tobacco cases is still the dominant market factor and 1t is not altogether certain that decisions will unlock specu- lation
 Considerable attention is given noyer- theless, to governmental and political af- fairs in their bearing on finance. Nervous fluctuations in the market last Monday while the United States supreme court was in session witnessed the importance attached to the expected decisions. The profound dullness which followed pointed to a similar conclusion. The shaping of 
 it bears on tariff revision, was watched with some soicitude. Some of the weeks movements, notably the strength of the northwestern group of railway stocks, was directly traceable to the promise of Canadian reciprocity.
 Railroad returns were scanned with particular interest in the degree in which the problem of economics to offset dimn. ished traffic was being met. Companies whose reports showed success in this di rection derived benefit in the relative strength of their shares. The subject gained in importance from the evidence of further shrinkage in tho freight move ment in the later returns. Conclusions re- garding the exhibit were modified by the belief that measures of economy were not fully in force in February operations.
 Reduction of railroad traffic is accepted as a belated manifestation of the same forces of reaction and contraction in gen eral trade that were operative in stocks and bonds through most of last year. The decline in the commodity markets is taken as evidence that liquidation has been going further there also.
 The March increase in pig iron produc- tion, the reduction in furnace stocks and the growth in daily capacity of furnaces
 In blast on April 1 over March gave hopeful augury for that trade. The set ting tendency is regarded an assur- ance for later stability and progress.
