Perfuminu Rooms.

So many ideas are in vogue respect
ing new ways of pertaining rooms, that
one ventures to describe yet another
and more simple novelty which is be-
ing used for this purpose, of making
rooms fresh and fragrant.
This is known as the violet hanger,
which consists of a group of dainty
little wicker baskets filled with pot
pourri of violets and covered with silk.
These are strung together on long
hanging ribbons which can be hung in
front of a window, or door, or any
place where they catch the breeze, so
that the sweet perfume emitted
through the wicker work is waited
about the room.

Then, unsupported and with worthless
ammunition, the Vermonters fell back.

them to merciless fire.

ONE MISTAKE BY HANK O'DAY
Did Not See Blunt Fly Caught by
Frank Dryer in Game Between
Cincinnati and Baltimore.

Reference has been made, says the
New York Sun, to the fact that UNI
pire Carpenter is now in the twelfth
year of service with the Southern
League. Hank O'Day umpired fifteen
years for the National League and
continuously. Bob Emslie has been a
National League umpire still longer.
Apropos of O'Day, his success as a
manager this year makes him the
most popular and revered man in Gin
cinnati, but he hasn't always been so
regarded there. Soon after Hank. be-
gan umpiring in the National League
he was officiating in a Baltimore-Cin-
cinnati game. Frank Dryer was pitch
ing and an Oriole hunted the ball.
Hank made tracks for first base, think
ing there would be play there, but
Dwyer caught the bunt on the fly
Hank didn't see that, and he called
the batter safe at first base. Up to a
short while ago they were still harp
ing on that mistake of ODay's in Gin
cinnati. However, there never was
better umpire than O'Day and a few
boots can be forgiven him.

AROUND TIE
CAMPO S. IN
YOUNG DRUMMER BOY A HERO
First Medal of Honor Awarded to
Julian Scott, Fifteen Years Old,
Of Vermont

The first soldier to win the coveted
medal of honor was Julian Scott, a
ffteen-year-old drummer boy in the
Third Vermont infantry in 1862. The
act which gained him the medal was
performed several months before the
congressional act instituting the re-
ward was passed.
The medal of honor is the highest
decoration for personal valor awarded
to the soldiers and sailors of the Unit
ed States. 1t is to Americans what the
Victoria Cross is to the English or the
Iron Cross to the Germans.
The act of congress ordering 1000
of these medals to be prepared was APP
proved by President Lincoln July IL,
1862, and the first medal was issued
the following year 1t was a five-point-
ed star of gun metal, tipped with ire
foil each point containing a victor's
crown of oak and laurel.
On official occasions, says Uncle
Sans Magazine, it was worn suspend
ed around the neck and under the cen.
ter line of the chin by order OF the
president. A bowknot of ribbon is
worn in the lapel of the coat in the alb
sence of the medal.
In 1868 the Grand Army of the Re
public organization adopted a design
SO similar that it was misleading and
steps were taken by the Medal Of
Honor Legion to have a new design
issued TO replace the old one. Con
gress in 1904 adopted the new medal.
It IS of silver, heavily electroplated in
gold.
The fve-pointed star has been re-
tanned and in its center appears the
head Of the heroic Minerva, the high
est symbol of wisdom and righteous
war.
1t was on the morning of April 16
that the afterward famous Vermont
brigade-Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
regiments-was ordered to advance
and to attack a strong fertilization

or Burnt Chimneys, on the right bank

POLITE GAME OF BASEBALL
Old Baltimore and Boston Teams
Tried to Play Courteous Game
Agreement Soon Forgotten.

''You can try to refine and c1Vil1ze
baseball all you want" remarked Joe
Kelley, the present Toronto manager
who was once an Oriole star, "and you
can make a parlor game out OF 1t by
giving the umpires power of life ana
death, but you can't kill off the players,
tongues unless you stun 'em with an
ak. Baseball can be made gentle

still goes on, and it's just as well the

Der, two ball clubs tried to pull
polite and courteous ball game, just to
see how the thing would work. The
old Baltimores and the old Bostons-
which were real ball clubs, both OF
them, held a conference one after
noon. There had been a lot OF talk
and newspaper criticism about rough
house work and bad language, and we
wanted to show press and public that
we could be good, decent people, after
all. We agreed to try out the polish
ed conversation and the golden rule
stuff for this one occasion, and Tim
Hurst who was slated to umpire,
agreed to help the good work along. 1t
would be some conversion, too, be-
lieve me, if We could get Tim Hurst
into the parlor process for Tim was
never built for cotillon lines.
"The first haltinning went by some
thing lovely Even when Tim called
strike on Tom Mccarthy that was a
foot over his head, there was no out
break. Says Tom, very gently, Wasn't
that ball trif1e high, Mr.. Umpire?
and says, Tim, all courtesy, fear

Carthy. Kindly overlook it, if you
will And in our half, when Jack

"And in the very next inning the
blow-off came. Three on and two gone,
with Hughey Jennings batting. Reitz
made dash for home on what he
thought was passed ball. The Boston
catcher recovered it, but as he dove for
the putout Jennings wandered against
him and knocked him ten feet away.

and then everybody arrived at the
