(By wagner)

Before starting with the Mechan- ics on a Massachusetts trip today, Manager McCann announced that Skipper Hey had been released. Hey When Fisher was canned it was an- nounced that Eley would go too, but the new man the club was after could not be secured and it was necessary to keep Eley a few days longer.
 Manager McCann wants to give Pat Hurley a thorough tryout and for that reason let Hey go today. Hurley was good hitter in the City league but appears to lack confidence against the Connecticut league toseers. He will tried out for the rest of the week any way.
 Eley has been with the club since the beginning of the 1910 season when he was bought from Jersey City; When he first came here the fans did not warm mp to him but his good work in the closing weeks of last seasons campaign put him in right with the bleacherites. He is a fine fielder and good thrower but appears to be un- able to hit at steady pace.
 Owner Jim Clarkin of the Senators sat in the press box yesterday and saw his Senators batter our Mechanics around.

KID M'COYS CASE
 GETS BELGIAN OFFICIALS
 IN BAD WITH ENGLAND


 Brussels, Aug. 23-If "Kid" McCoV will come here and press his charge high officials of the Belgian police said. today, they would fully investi- gate the accusation he is quoted as making in London that lawyer pur- porting to represent the Ostend au- thorities told him a $50000 payment would insure abandonment of the ex- tradition proceedings against him growing out Of jewel theft from the Princess Of Thurn and Taxis.
 Belgian officialdom is much per- turbed by the outcome of the case. It is said the English government feels it has been made ridiculous by it's con- nection with the wholly unjustified proceedings against Mccoy and the Belgians fear they will have trouble in future to secure Scotland Yard $ cooperation in capturing Belgian fu- gitives in England.

IMPROPER DANCING
Scored BY Rev. Bernard Vaughan If
Brooklyn Speech,

Father Bernard Vaughan in an ad-
dress before a large audience in the
Brooklyn Academy OF Music scored
the immoral dances that arc invading
fashionable circles
'If proper dancing is all the world
over Il recognized ana cxhilarating
pastimc," he said, Improper dancing,
on the contrary. is Il practice that is
Intoxicating and therefore to be os-
trncizcd. 70 anyone with even the
most elementary knowledge of pllysi-
ology, it is apparent that the move
nlents in the so-callcd dances of the
apache character can result in noth-
ing making for righteousness or even
dccency. Men and women do not hap
pen to be icicles or sleighs. nor are
they autonata or gramophones Nor
even are they oyster or jcllynsh.
They arc human beings, and, unlike
asbestos, arc very susceptible to fire.
"rhc so-called dances Clearing very
us.icious namcs) arc forces caIculnt-
ed to awaken animal passion and to
set youth on fire, and it is quite i'm
possible to consider what sort Of Il
patent fire engine could cxtinguish
such enkindled flames either in this
world or the world to come. It would
not be bad plan to have the hose
ready to play on people who dare to
defy the public conscience by indulg-
ing in vicious movements whose ten
dcncics are recognized to be so injuri-
Gus to civic morality"

Sister Josepha Gertrude Kuhnbache,
General Superior of the Celletines in

Then came the medical officer of

fact that Sister Josepha, who was

active in the hospital in Kerfelde and
later in the battlefelds in 1866 and

Mr.. Lochren to fill the place until the
next regular election.
At the election in November, 1882,
he was elected to the district bench
for term of six years, and in 1888
was elected for a second six-year term
without opposition.
At the close of his second term as
district judge, President Grover Cleve-
pensions, which position he held for
three years.
On May 20, 1896. he was appointed
judge of the United States court for
the district of Minnesota. He was the
first Minneapolis lawyer to have that
honor. This position was the last one
hs ever held. He continued on the
federal bench until March 81, 1908,
when he sent in his resignation and
retired from active life.
Upon assuming the office of COM
missioner of pensions under President
Cleveland Judge William Lochren i'm
mediately came into national promi-
nence. He was a Democrat, appointed
to clean out the pension bureau abus-
es which had sprung up under pre-
ceding administrations, including that
Of Green B. Raum. his immediate
predecessor.
The judge, moved more by just in
depreciation of the pension laws than
by party eXpediency, at once began to
check up the pensions and the admin
istration. Although he was an old SOL
dier himself, this fact did not inserject
his sympathies into the work which
he had taken up. He proceeded along
lines which. it is admitted even by
many Of the enemies he made when
personal interests were crossed by his
decisions, were absolutely honest as
the commissioner saw his duty.
Judge Lochren. was one of COM
mission appointed under an act of leg
islature in 1889 to prepare a history
of Minnesota in the Civil and Indian
wars. Other members were ]. w.

Judge Lochren was made chairman

The first rty-eight pages Of the
book are devoted to narrative of the
First Minnesota regiment, by Judge
Lochren, who served with the regi-
ment, both as an enlisted man and a
commissioned officer, in the Army of
the Potomac. The narrative is a
concise chronological story. 1t is
couched in modest language, begin
ming: "At the request of my COM
rades, I have assumed to write the
narrative of the First regiment Min
nesota volunteers for this history.
General William Colvill was designat-
ed to act with me; but the distance
between us is so great, the time I can
devote to it is SO precarious, and u.s.
ually at evening, after days spent in
exhausting official labor, and the time
now so short within which it must be
prepared, that no arrangement can be
made to avail myself of the generals
aid beyond his graphic account of our
first BATTLE"
Limited in space, the HISTORIAN goes
on to say that if it's tale were fully
written, interspersed with interesting
incidents as they actually occurred, it
would not find space in the entire vol
ume, covering, with the services of
Companies A and B of the regiment,
made up mostly of it's recruits and
re-enlisted men, all battles from Bull
Run to Appomattox.

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.

An unknown exchange has present
ed the followign, which is good enough
for the consideration of the people OF
any community in the land:
Buy from peddlers as much and as
often as possible.
Denounce your merchant because
he makes a profit on his goods.
Glory in the downfall OF a man
who has done much to build up your
town.
Make your town out a bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
est of the people.
Tell your merchant that you can
buy goods great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them
with extortion.
II a stranger comes to your towr
tell him everything is overdone anc
predict general crash in the near fu
ture.
Patronize outside newspapers t.
/ the exclusion Of your own and theI
denounce yours for not being as large
and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are merchant don't adver
tise in the home paper, but compe
the editor to 90 elsewhere for adver
tisements and howl like a sore heat
because he did so.
If you IRE a farmer curse the plac,
where you trade as the meanest Oh
earth. Talk this over to your neigh
bors and tell them the men are rob
bers and thieves. 1t will make you
property less valuable; but don
care.
