BASEBALL NOTES.

Manager Jack Dunn has gathered
the class of the Canadian league, in
cluding Pitcher Smith, the "back-
breaker" for his Baltimore team.
This young Bedient, the Jersey City
twirler, must have something besides
his glove when the Boston Red Sox
give seven players for him.
Cunning, Jacobs and Linderback,
three Boston Red Sox rockies, have
been turned over to Manager Jesse
Burkett Of the Worcester club.
1t is said the Western league will
play fewer games next season, than
in 1911. Desver's big lead and a 1853
game schedule caused frost to gather
on the fans shoes last year.
New Orleans will not get Jakey
Atz, who managed the Providence
team last season. Jake will stick with
the Clam Diggers, having been ap-
pointed captain of the team.

TELLS HOW TO SUCCEED.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-George w
Perkins, who started his business ca
reer as an office boy in Chicago and
later became a partner of j. P. Nor
gan and company in the banking bust
ness, was so years old today. The
eminent fnancier did not per
nit the anniversary to interfere with
his ordinary routine of work, Just at
present Mr.. Perkins is an exceedingly
busy man, for, if rumor is correct,
he is looking after the financial end of
the Roosevelt presidential boom, in
addition to giving his time and atten-
tion to the many great business enter
prises in which he is interested. When
asked to give his advice to the young
men who are eager to succeed in life
he replied: keep pegging away.
Time and conditions may change, but
the old rule remains the same, that
there is no success without keeping
everlastingly at it."

THE DEATH RATE IN THE CANAL
ZONE.

So many records have been broker
in the canal zone, since Uncle Sam ur.-
Gertook to dig the big ditch, that We
have become used to the sensation and
no longer expect anything nat re-
rlarkable doings. Whether moving
dirt, building dams, draining swamps
or preventing disease, the canal COM
mission seems to have no thought in
view but to make each days work bet
ter than that of the day before. So
we arise merely to put on record that
the report of the department of sani-
tation fer November, just received,
shows that during that month, among
800 white men, women and children
from the United States living in the
zone, there were two deaths from dis
ease, one from malaria and one from
cancer; there was also one premature
birth. Including the latter, this is
equal to an annual death-rate of 3.02
per thousand. Would any of our most
advanced cities care to compete for
first honors, as health resort, with
this erstwbile "pest-hole of the trop-
ics?" Nest of our cities, says The
journal cf the American Medical AS
sociation, consider themselves lucky
if they can get their death rate below
fifteen per thousand.

GOVERNOR

ING PORTUGUESE
Press.

Western Press.
LISBON, Jan. 31.-The governor Oh
tho province of Estamura was assassi-
mated today by mob that broke into
the government house at Moita. The
governor was literally chopped to
pieces with hatchets. Constitutional
guarantees were suspended and mar
tial law proclaimed in the district OF
Lisbon last night.
The situation, arising from gen
eral strike, has reached a climax and
only prompt and drastic action by
government will prevent more blood
shed. Reseating Manuel is believed
to be one of the objects of the up
rising. The strikers declare that they
have twenty-five thousand bombs in
their possession and with them will
annihilate the soldiers unless their
demands are granted. Several bombs
already have been thrown with hor-
rible effect and more than hun
dred arrests have been made.

ENGLISHMAN FEARED
TO BE BURIED ALIVE

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Expiicit direc-
tions for the avoidance of premature
burial were contained in the will of
Thomas Douglas Murray, who died
Nov. 2l. last, aged 10 years, leaving
an estate valued at $141, ,440.
He directed that on his apparent
denth his body should be kept in n
well-warmed bed thirty-six hours
thereafter. His body was then to be
placed in coffin in warm room
with the windows partly opened, and
watched four days and nights, or un-
til definite signs of decomposition have
set in.-.
During this period the tests given
in pamphlet by Sir Benjamin Ward
Richardson, THE Signs and Proofs
of Death were to be applied, and
during this period a bell was to be
attached to his wrist which could be
easily audible within and without the
room.
When decomposition had set In a
surgeon was to completely sever the
spinal cord high up in the body, and
the coffin could then be lightly fast
ened, but not be screwed down until
the twelfth day after death. His re-
mains were then to be cremated and
the ashes scattered to the four winds
of heaven.

ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THIS
SECTION SHOULD ADVERTISE

The San Juan section should be rep
resented at the Clay Products and
Permanent Home exposition to be held
at the Chicago Coliseum March 7 to
IL. Announcement was made today
that the management of the exposi-
ton, recognizing the Importance of
the clay industry Of this part of the
United States, has set aside a promi-
nent section of the exposition building,
IN order that the showing may be
complete and has appointed local ex-
position commissioner to make ar
rangements for the proper showing of
this district at the exposition.
Mr.. John Maroney and Mr.. Geo. z.
Heinz of Chicago were appointed ex-
position commissioners In this terri
tory which includes Colorado, Utah,
Nevada and Arizona.
An interesting feature of this expo
sition is to be a municipal exposi-
tion 10 which invitations are extended,
through the press, to every mayor,
city engineer and building commits
sioner in the United States and Can
ada. Full-size exhibits showing street,
ever, curb and conduit construction
will be prepared, and experts will de-
liver addresses tending to aid the Wis
itors in solving the problems that
face them in their home cities.
Another important object of the
exposition is the launching of cru
sade against the "frebug trust" /"
Practical demonstrations will be made
showing that through brick construc-
tion the fire loss of this country can
be reduced more than 80 per cent.
Lovers of art will be interested In
the exposition because of the wonder
full displays of china, pottery and art
ware that will be made. The annual
output of American pottery exceeds
$25,000,000 in value and is declared
to lead the world in artistic beauty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-For the ben
eft of her fellow passengers who lack
ed the information that the women of
st. Joseph, Mo-, are the most smartly
appareled in the world, Mrs. Julia

paltry thousand dollars today rather
than to be separated from her won

at Hoboken today the combined serv-

They reached the door with 1t only

into the apartment. Mrs. Ackerman
sought the purser. He told her she
could either have it lowered into the
hold or pay thousand dollars for q
deck suite of rooms, which would con-
tain the monster trunk nicely. Mrs
Alderman paid the thousand dollars
and took the suite Of rooms.

WEALTH OF PARIS DIMINISHING

PARIS, Jan. 30-The wealth of
Paris is diminishing. A crisis is at
hand, and it is due to the reckless
moods of fashion. A few years ago
women wore dresses that trailed in all
dir ections and hats that threw a
shadow across the street.
Faction then suddenly and reckless
ly changed The hobble skirts became
so narrow that it looked as if the
wea~er were intended to go round the
skirt and not the skirt round the
wearer. Now hats have undergone a
similar inexplicable change. From
being loaded with flowers and feath-
CHS they are suddenly worn bare of
every ornament. You throw a fabric
of felt or straw over your head and
you are dressed, so far as headgear
is concerned.
The Paris milliners are in despair
They say that they have not created
the fashion, and yet they have to fol-
low it. Twenty per cent of their re-
ceipts have dropped off. Two-thirds
of the hands are idle in some estab-
| lishments. Famine is staring many
in the face, just because fashion has
decreed that there shall be no feath-
ers and no flowers on the hats. The
trimming is reduced to a minimum.
Women have been seen with nothing
bus a pin in their hat. 1t served both
as an ornament and to keep the hat
in place.
If this style became universal Paris
should have to fear feather or a
flower riot, Just as she had food riots
in ST miner. Fashionable women would
be surrounded and compelled by riot
Gus milliners to wear feathers and
flowers on their hats. The number OF
feathers and flowers would be dictated
by resolution at public meeting
The foreign buyers of models have
scarcely been heard Of this year
What is the use of coming to Paris
to see what is the latest trimming
for hats if there are no trimmings
at all. Two-thirds of the Belgian
buyers who are the nearest to Paris
remained away. Great Britain has
csarcely bought anything, and the
American customers have entirely alb
stained. Blue ruin is staring the mil
liners in the face, but their despair
may be many a good mans joy. L
he is wise he will say nothing, an'
there will be fewer calls on his checl
book to satisfy an extravagant wife
An untrimmed hat costs much less
and surely ought to wear much longe
than one representing an ostrich farm
or q flower garden.

RECORDS SHOW NO RACE
SUICIDE IN KANSAS

TOPEKA, Jan. 3O.-That there is
no race suicide in Kansas is shown by
the birth and death reports made to
the registrar of vital statistics of the
state board of health. The law has
been in effect since September, and
the four months on which reports
have been received show the birth
rate in Kansas to be eighteen for each
1000 population and the death rate
nine plus for each 1000 inhabitants
That makes two births to one death
The death figures are practically COM
plete, but the births lack about 2f
per cent of being total, according to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
Even with continuous program of
two battleships year, the United
States would fall little behind its
present effective strength for the rea-
son that in another year four of our
biggest ships, built during the same
period, will become non-effective,"
said Secretary of the Navy Meyer
today. "The dreadnought type is the
warship of the present day. Dread
nought is easily superior to half a
dozen Oregons, and one dreadnought
built by foreign power in excess of
the number built by ourselves is equiv
alent to wiping off our list, at one
strike, the Indiana, Massachusetts,

lucky. All nations that are building
battleships are building dreadnoughts.
No nation can exist commercially and
exert its proper place among the ma
tions of the world without a navy
strong in proportion to its wealth and
the commercial interests OF Its popu-
lation. In the history of the nations
loss of power may generally be said
to have been due to a loss of naval
power although occasionally it is due
to other causes. But it is certain that
the existence of an efficient navy is
sure sign of national power and
safeguard against war.
