MRS. C. F. MARKELL TO
 DIRECT FOREIGN TOUR

Mrs. c. F. Markell has issued some attractive booklets describing the tour that she is 10 make this summer accom- panied by party. The booklet recalls other pleasant journeys which Mrs Mar keli has directed and suggests even more allilring prospects than those in the past
 The itinerary is to include the Azores Gibraltar, Italy, Germany, the Rhine, England, Scotland and Ireland, with the many beautiful advantages which are of- fered by the various countries. In Italy, within few days, for example, these charming incidents are enjoyed:
 Morning excursion to the ruins of Pom- peii. Continue to La Cava among the hills. Drive to Amaf. This is one of commanding a grand view of the Bay of Salerno. For a considerable part of the way the road is hewn out of the face of the cliff that rises abruptly from zths seacoast, and is frequently supported by galleries and great viaducts hundreds of feet above the sea level, furnishing some of the most superb and picturesque seen cry to be found in all Italy. Stay over night at Amalf, where the party will spend Sunday at the old Capuchin mon astery situated on commanding cliff, with verandas that overlook the dancing waves
 Drive to Sorrento stopping over night at the splendid Hotel Victoria which stands on a great rock rising abruptly from the sea and fronting directly on the Bay of Naples. The fine view from the terraces of the hotel, the extensive gardens and the quaint streets, with their unfamiliar shops, will delight the visitor.
 By boat to the Blue Grotto and Island of Capri Cthe favorite residence of the Emperors Augustus and Tiberious), with one of the most beautiful natural caverns in the world, and return to Naples.
 And there are other opportunities prom isins as much pleasure.

Pitney a Baseball Star

From the Philadelphia Record
 There was no man better pleased over the appointment of Chancellor Mahlon
 Pitney to be justice of the United States
 supreme court than Michael J. Ryan, a fireman of No. engine company of this city. They spoiled a big league ball player in making Pitney a lawyer; but he's made good at the law. as he would
 have in baseball was Mikes comment. In the early sos Dover had baseball team that beat everything around the state. Dover needed a. crack pitcher and Ryan was sent for and became deputy
 marshal of the town, and began to play ball. The first game he pitched he met Mahlon Pitney, then covering the first bag for Dover. 4, 'I'd seen men cover first many times, says Ryan. but that big fellow was soine- thing new. He was all there and had everything the much touted stars have today. except a glove. Like all men of that day, he played with bare hands. I've seen all the stars play first and never yet have seen man who beat Pitney at it."

High Prices for Keepsakes
From London Answers.


 Recently Thomas J. Barratt, chairman of the company that makes widely known soap, paid several thousand dollars for the log book of Lord Nelson's ship, Victory, which contains an account of the battle of Trafalgar, written by Atkinson, the vessels sailing master. The quill pen which Charles Dickens used at the Villa Les Montineaux, where he penned part of Hard Times" Little Dorrt" and Bleak House, was sold a little while ago for $1750. This recalls to mind that quill pen used by the Spanish commissioners in signing the treaty of peace after hostiiities had ceased between America and Spain, fetched $125 wher sold.
 A personal attendant of ex-Queen 1sa- bella of Spain did brisk trade in selling the pens with which her majesty set aside death sentences. Several of these "reprieve pens" were stolen by him from the royal writing tables. but the majority were exact copies of the originals made by his own hands Some of the pens fetched as much as $500 each.
