ionable Baseball Team.

NEWPORT, r. 1, Aug. 27.-Miss
Edith Deacon and Miss Eleanor Sears
have been deposed as the athletic lead
ers of the Newport colony They have
been forced to give way to the beauti-
full Mrs. J. Gordon Douglas, and all be
cause Mrs. Douglas has refused to con
fine her athletic activities to hunting
polo. tennis, golf, yachting and riding
and other sports so common among the
fashionables and has gone in for the
grand old American game and has be-
come an adept at it,
Mrs. Douglas, in addition to being an
expert in all the above mentioned lines
of sport has donned the spangles Of a
ball player. An outfielders glove rests
on her shapely hand and she daily ca
vorts about the diamond with all the
enthusiasm and a great deal of the
ability of Mr. Tyrus Cobb.
She plays outfield on an ultra fash
ionable nine, which plays semi weekly
battles on a baseball field near the
Casino.
Critics who have attempted to find
some flaw in the playing of society's
new Il-round champion can say moth
ing worse than that she can make
many a big Lacquer sit up and take
notice While batting considerably
under 300" nevertheless she has man
aged to hit when hits counted, and on
more than one occasion has batted in
the winning run. At base-running she
outshines by far any of her teammates

In addition to this. Mrs Douglas has
won the tennis and swimming honors
Every morning during the present sea-
son she plays tennis on the Casino

has more than upheld her own with
PLAYERS whose regulations on the
courts are far and wide. Her daily
swim takes place at Bailey's Beach and
no one up to this time has beaten her
either i'm speed or fancy diving. And
in addition. she holds Newport's long
distance dancing record, having out
danced all competitors. displaying but
little evidence of fatigue.

HEALTH REPORTS
FALSE, ASSERTS
Los ANGELES
Stories of Epidemic of InfantiIe
Paralysis Vigorously Denied.
None Has Existed.

Los ANGELES, CAL. Aug. 27.-
Through the medium of irresponsible
newspaper correspondents. absolutely
false reports have been sent out from
this city of the existence of an infan-
tile paralysis epidemic"
AS a matter of fact this great ma
tional resort has enjoyed summer of
exceptional beauty. and the scare"
has had no justification whatever in
the health conditions of the metropolis.
Furthermore. Los Angeles citizens
were not even aware that such reports
were in existence, and were both sur
prised and startled to find the city
credited with an epidemic Of which
they had no knowledge themselves.
IN this particular the situation is
unique
While papers elsewhere contained
sensational stories of the spread of the
disease. Los Angeles moved calmly on
its way enjoying parade of cool.
cloudless DAYS, the beaches crowded
with merrymakers its hotels full and
IN all particulars blessed with happy
and prosperous summer season. There
have been isolated and fugitive cases
of infantile paralysis, but not more
than might be expected in any COM
nluntty of this size. these cases furnish
ing q trifing percentage of the whole
population.
Merely as a matter OF precaution the
health authorities prohibited children
from attending amusement places and
b few Sunday schools were closed in
eongested districts.
Grossly Misinterpreted,
These official safeguards We're in
tended to arrest instantly any spread
pf the disease and by no means indi-
Gated an agitated state of mind over
The few cases under the care Of the
health department But they were
grossly misinterpreted, and foolish
stories have grown in volume until Los
Angeles is credited in certain sections
with an epidemic that does not exist
and never did exist
The population Of Los Angeles by the
latest compilation is 400 900. The total
Of As deaths from infantile paralysis
since June was but one death for
1888 of population. And even this
small aggregation of cases shows a de-
cline
Furthermore certain doctors and
critics of the health department main
tain that through over zea}ousness
mistakes have been made in diagnos-
ing, that many cases credited as in
fantfle paralysis have been nothing
more than collie and stomach disorders
AS matter of fact the average Of
infantile paralysis in Los Angeles is no
worse than in any other city and is
much less than in most cities

Hataeld "a go.

DIR. Hatfield is the farmers
friend. He is eonversant with farnt-
ing conditions and he knows the
needs of agriculture in this state
UnreservedIy does he declare him
self for the encouragement and up
building OF farming in West Viz
GINA. He stands on his own and an
the platform made by the Republt-7
can state convention at Huntington
His own follows:
"our state is chiefly renowned
abroad for its mineral wealth The
prominence given this branch over
shadows the not generally known
fact that thS income received from
agricultural products largely ex-
ceeds that derived from any other
other source within the state. Min
eral wealth is transient, and to ag-
riculture and horticulture alone
must future generations look for
support for the state and it's citi-
zens. 1t therefore behooves us to
so promote and build up these in
dustrfes that when the time comes
that the states needs are urgent,
they. viii be ready to take up and
vigorousIy carry the burdens i'm
posed. we have just established
the Office of the commissioner OF ag-
rritcuituire. This department of the
state government should be sup
ported on a liberal scale, providing,
for scientific instruction to our far
mers, studies of soils and plant life,
and the publication of such other
general information as will promote
agriculture. particularly would
urge wider and more effective use Of
the facilities provided by the school
OF agriculture and the agricultural
experiment station at the state uni
versity"
Tho essence of the agricultural
plank of the Republican state plat
form is as follows:
I've favor the enactment Of an
laws which will encourage the pur-I
suit of farming in our state.
The state should offer every induce
ment in its power to encourage the
cultivation OF its soil.
There is bright promise held out
to the farmers in these two pledges
and the farmers should not over
look the fact that this help is offered
them by Dr.. Hatfield and the Repuo-
licln party.
Contrast these pledges with the
hare reference made by the Demo
cratic state convention as follows,
the only thing it's platform contains
on the subject: ca
Eve favor such appropriations as
will enable our agricultural DEPART
ment to render all possible aid-9s
