NOT TO BE DETAINED.
Prince Expelled From France Gets
Admission to United States.

Because the French authorities have
not replied to cablegrams sent by the
State Department asking information as
to the details of the expulsion from France
of Prince Ludovic. Pignatelli d'Aragon,
Secretary Nagel of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. has notified the i'm
migration officers at New York not to de-
tain the prince an unreasonable length of
time, but to admit him to the United
States.
According to reports received from
United States immigration officials and
agents in France, the prince was expelled
from that country for alleged violation of
the gaming laws. When the prince en-
deavored to enter the United States last
Friday he was held up, and the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor asked the
State Department to find out just what it
was the prince had done, the object being
to learn if he was an undesirable alien. -
replies have been received to several
cable messages, and Prince Ludovic prob
ably will be admitted within a few days.
The prince is the son Of Don Jaime, pre-
fender to the throne of Spain, and is
more or less of an international char
acter, as has been his father.

GEORGETOWN SQUAD
GETS HARD WORK
Team Being Given Exception
ally Difficult Practice for
Saturdays Game.

In preparation for the game with
Washington and Lee next Saturday the
Georgetown foot ball eleven was given
very hard scrimmage yesterday. The
coaches worked the men as they never
have been worked, every man at the con-
clusion of the practice being perfectly
willing to quit.
For the first time during the prelimi-
nary training the coaches We're pleased
with the manner in which the men play
ed. The line, under the direction Of Eddie
Dennis and Dap Daley. showed mark
ed Improvement over any previous oc-
casion. For a half hour before practice.
Dennis took the linemen in charge and
, gave them some interesting work on how
to break through He had all of the
men charging low and hard, the charging
machine being used i'm this particular
work. The appearance of big Bryant the
star tackle of the varsity last year. great
ly pleased the coaches. Bryant was used
on the charging machine, and Dennis
| hopes to have him in shape for the big
games.
One thing noticeable about the practice
yesterday was the shifting of Eddie Null
| laney to the second team. Mullaney was
all over the field making tackles, and he
will be hard man to keep off the var
| sity eleven. Jim Barron has been show
| ing up we'll at guard. and Head Coach
| Daley believes that in Barron George
town has good guard. and he will be
| worked on the varsity until better line
| can be obtained upon him.
Van Brockline, the sturdy little end, OF
whom much is expected, is in very bad
| shape at present, having a boil on his
neck. He has been confined to his bed
for the past two days. and it is extreme

| the game Saturday.
| Derby also has not been on the field
during the past two days. and it Is hoped

: find of the year. and a great deal is ex-

NJ ALEER VERY MUCH
BEFORE THE PUBLIC
inns Record Shows There's
a Fortune in Base Ball for
Players With Brains.

| The American League pennant is BOS-
tons, and it is pertinent at this time to
give a moments contemplation to the
man in command of the American
League champions.
James r. McAleer of Youngstown, Ohio,
has 100000 invested in the Boston club.
| OF this, 100000 represents his savings.
The remaining $4,000 was borrowed
without interest-from Charles Comiskey
of Chicago, one of the wealthiest men in
the American League.
| McAleer tells. with no small show of
pride, that during the past eight
years his income manager and
scout has been $4,000 a season. He
saved his money and when opportunity
presented itself he purchased the Boston
club.
| With 100000 in the bank, it was easy
| to secure the $4,000 balance from Co.
miskey. whose players have made him
rich and who always regarded Jim as the
games greatest outfielder. Now, If the
Red SoX win the worlds series, McAleer
will not only get back all of his invest
ment, including the $4,000 he borrowed
| from Commy, but will have something
! left to buy a few new players. A win
ming team is gold mine, especially in
Boston.
| McAleer also tells, with no small show
of emotion, how he has kept out of the
game all season.
| One day, he says, Yerkes was going
| bad-very bad. He had been off his
stride for two weeks.
Better lay him off, hadn't you, Jake?'
/ said to Stahl
Guess you'd better leave this to me- ;
was Stahrs reply. I'm not entirely be-
reft of ideas
And that was the end of it. Stahl is
running the club and stahl is responsible
for the position in which We finish'' says
McAleer.
McAleer was the greatest center fielder
| that ever lived. He was born at Youngs-
town, June 10, 1864, and began his profess
sional career with the Charleston club
Southern League, in 1885 He went to
| Memphis then to Milwaukee, and in
1889 signed with Cleveland, where he be-
| came the fielding wonder Of the age.
Prior to McAleer's advent, Jimmy Fo-
garty of the Phillies was the games
greatest. McAleer was never a great hit
ter, but his marvellous instructive fielding
was the delight of the fans and his fleet
bases.
McAleer, after years absence from
the game, when the Cleveland team
| moved to st. Louis, Joined the American
League in 1900. While not rewarded with
wonderful success as a manager, he has
always been considered d capable and
by some d great one. 1t was McAleer
who saw in Jake Stahl the ideal man
to round out the Boston infield and lead
the red-hosed crew to a flag, and he was
the man who could induce Stahl to re-
turn to the game, which he had deserted
for the banking business.

Changes of Names.
From the New York Times


Almost every day somebody applies to
the courts of this city for permission To
assume a new name. The people who do
this are, with rare exceptions foreigners
whose old-country names are found hard
to pronounce by their new neighbors, or
have sounds that lend themselves with
fatal facility to humorous translation or
transmutation by those same naighbors.
to the constant annoyance, humiliation or
irritation of their owners.
The desire to escape from these troubles
is a perfectly legitimate one, and this
fact the courts recognize by granting, all
most invariably. the permission asked.
Yet the making of these changes Ia
viewed "A little askance by not few, al

|ND|SCREET PRISON cow
IN TROUBLE AT ATLANTA
Echo in Treasury Department

An indiscreet COW in the Atlanta prison,
owned by the government, is the inspiring
cause of a long decision by the controller
OF the Treasury, as to the rights of the
government. The same cow caused a
two-hour debate in Congress in the clos
ing hours Of that body last August, and
delayed the passage of an appropriation
bill. owing to the oratorical efforts of
Representative Howard of Atlanta to
give the warden Of the penitentiary broad
powers as to expenditure of the mis-
cellaneous appropriation for the institu-

This COW got loose from her chain in

citizen, who promptly impounded the ami

But Congress did not do this, and the
warden put in an item in his charges
and the auditor promptly turned it down.
An appeal was taken to Controller Trace
well. who holds that the government is
in no way liable for damages, due to the
negligence of it's agents. The warden. he
says, should have taken measures to re-
lease the unruly cow or compelled the
man responsible for her getting into trou-

THE USE OF COSMETICS,

A line of women stood before the toilet

BeWlIderina Names.

Women who do only small amount
of buying are likely to feel oppressed,
when they do undertake to make some
modest purchases, by their ignorance
Of the names of the various articles,
of merchandise shown to them. It Is.
only necessary, however, to know
something of the origins Of the conn.,
plicated nomenclature of trade to be-
convinced that an inability to master
1t need not be taken as a sign Of
mental weakness. The Upholsterer
tells ola modernized oriental rug which.
was named by putting lot of fanciful
names into hat and then drawing
one from the collection. Another rug
has acquired name with particular
ly nice oriental sound; but 1t is the,
name Of people that has not longer
any distinctive existence, and had
nothing whatever to do with either the
making or designing of the rug. When.
names are SO easy to get 1t is not
strange that every material, color and.
mode has numbers Of them sufficient
to create utter bewilderment in the
minds of the initiated.

DIsliked by His Horse.

OF all domestic animals, the horse
Is probably the most gentle. but there!
are exceptions.
A California man had in his stable 81
fine thoroughbred horse, of which hei
made quite a pet. One day he went
into the stable, and, stopping to pat
his favorite steed, he was surprised
when the horse, with a violent plunge,i
broke the halter and came at him with
open mouth. At first he thought 1t
was in fun, but he soon realized hiss
mistake, and hastily climbed up a lad-
der and yelled for help.
On the arrival of his son, the horse
went back to the stall and immediate..
ly resumed It's former gentleness to
air but its owner.
To him it remained deadly foe, un-
til he was compelled to sell it. He
never knew the reason for its sudden
animosity.
