his post. so to speak, for it was due to
over-exertion when batting at ball
and running the bases that he burst a
blood vessel and, / think died on the
field almost instantly. It was from
Creighton that 1 obtained many of
the hints which we're of service to me
afterward, and in perfecting the Gin
cinnati Red Stockings l followed in
many details the principles which
Creighton laid down. Did you ever see

Wright exclaimed well, you were
very fortunate That game in one re-

the Red Stockings played in that en-

that the nine went through the season
without a single defeat

GUNPOWDER AND KID

for the first time-so he happily be-
lieves-from a London publication
away back in the dim ages of some
ten years ago. Just why McClures
should reprint them now, and pass
them off as one might readily believe,
as an original printing, it is hard TO
understand. No credit is given in
the magazine. There is no note of
explanation therein; yet We bow to
the understanding Of the editors IN
that they have found one of the most
haunting of all modern Irish poems
and have given it a place of honor In
the pages of McClure's.
The curious part of it all is that they
have been so long in their discovery.
II recalls in some measure an ex-
perience we had with the remarkable
newspaper which was to revolutionize
the world of weekly publications. In
1901 we evolved a most SURPRISING
limerick. II was printed in our own
newspaper. Six years later the same
limerick appeared in the aforesaid
revolutionary weekly. credited as an
original verse made by an eminent
humorist. II is now included in the
definitive edition of his works.
But just why McClure's Magazine
should print "Corrymeela" as an ori-
ginal-with supposedly first publica-
/ tion,-we are at a loss to understand
We may be careless, but we have
lost our understanding.

INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF ICE.

TIE ordinary man may not at this time be
L thinking about his next summers supply of
ice, but the ice magnates are doing So They held
a meeting in New York the other day and decided
to advance the price Of ice to take effect next
summer Various uncertainties we're given as
the reason for the proposed advance.
An increase in the price of ice next summer
would be an abnormal condition and would clearly
show that the control OF ice was in the hands OF
a mercess and greedy trust There is certainly
no shortage in the natural ice crop, and the supply
of manufactured ice should be greater than, ever.
But the trusts proceed on the theory of limiting the
supply of commodities and forcing up the prices
lb that way they create an unnatural condition ol
trade which is responsible for many of the eco
nomic ills that we are suffering under.
