the Pittsburgh. Pa, Dispatch, for many
years the organ ofsSecretary of State
Knox, announces that he has deter
mined to retire from public life on
March next, no matter what the re-
suit of the pending election.
The statement is made in telegram
from the Washington correspondent
of the Dispatch and says in part:
Secretary Knox had fully determin-
cd to give up public life before this
years political issues developed. He
will adhere to this determination, it is
stated, unless a deadlock in the cleo
ton of a president or vice president
should cause the duties of acting pres
ident to devolve upon him.
"Mr Knox will not evade this re
sponsibility if it should come about
but if an election Is secured on Nov.
he will make arrangements to retire
from public life at the close of the
present administration, after clever
years in the public service as senator
and cabinet officer"

baseball would be missing. The batter
would hit or walk and patiently wait
for his successor to hit or walk to ad-

nobody would care either to play or to
