learned that a negro named Marion
Birge, generally known by the cog
nomen of 'Possum," was running a
blind tiger at his residence out on the

r. r. For the purpose of investigat-
ing the charge Mr.. Lee went alone to
the place indicated and finding evil
dence to warrant, he arrested the ne
gro, and started with him to the court
house. The two had not gone far,
when "Possum seeing his chance,
grabbed the pistol carried by the depu-
ty sheriff and with it struck the Off
Ger a stunning blow, which knocked
him down. Before Lee could get to
his feet the negro was pulling hard
for tall timber, carrying the loaded
pistol with him.
The deputy reported the case to the
sheriff's office and a search for the
negro was begun, but he is still II
hiding. The negro is well-knowr
throughout large territory in Soutf
Mississippi and 1t should not be hare
to catch him. His alias of "Possum'

THE PIPER OF DREAMS.

He came from over the hills of
dreams
A weary way and long;
Yet in his heart was happiness,
And on his lips song.
They fed their tasks to hear him play
Soldiers and sage and king
In castles, fortress, turret, tower
They marveled, listening.
For back across the years he piped
Their hope and love and fire;
And unto each, the great or least,
He gave his hearts desire.
The old and worn once more were
young,
The burdened found their rest,
And lost delights came thronging
swift
To ev'ry lovers breast.
Soldier and clown and sage and king
OF care and grief were free
Their quickened pulses beat in tune
With his brave melody.
Home to the hills of dream he went
A lonely way and long
But in their hearts he left his joy,
And on their lips his song.

Better Actors Wanted.
from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
David Belasco complains that he can
not get young men Of intelligence, edu-
cation and artistic accomplishments for
his plays in this country and threatens
to invade England. The complaint seems
justified, but we do not feel that the
young men are wholly to blame.
For more than century our great
men and women of the stage were de-
veloped in the crucible of the stock COM
pany. Here immense labor and not a lit
tie intelligence were required and the fit
test survived. especially If there was
large talent or some genius shown In
these days of long runs the young men
of the stage have no school in which
they may develop their art. They may
play. for season or more in one role
and that makes for artistic strabismus
rather than the development of an actor.
We need a good school for actors,
where the art will be recognized as on
plane with that Of others where long
study, deep comprehension and at least
adaptability are necessities. Mr.. Belasco
makes railing accusation against his
own business rather than against the
young men and women of talent who
might like to study the art Of acting, but
have now very limited opportunities and
a poor chance to develop latent genius.

IS DENIED BAIL
U. S. Commissioner Holds Dr..
w. Beattie Nesbitt for Ca
madam Authorities.

CHICAGO, April 20.-Charges of forgery
against DR.. w. Beattie Nesbitt, former
president of the Formers Bank Of To-
ronto, Canada, were dismissed today. and
he was Immediately rearrested on a new
warrant, charging a lesser offense.
Counsel for the former banker declared
that extradition to Canada would be re-
sisted, and United States Commissioner
Foote. who issued the warrant, held DR..
Nesbitt without bail. and set the hearing
Of the extradition argument for April Is.
Fraud Alleged.
The new warrant charges the former
banker with fraud by making false state
ments to the minister of finance of the
Dominion of Canada as to the condition
of the Farmers Bank of Toronto.
The change in front in the Nesbitt
case came yesterday, after Nesbitt'S
counsel had decided to have his client
waive examination on the forgery charge
and go to Toronto to face his accusers.
W. D. Greer of the criminal investigation
department of the Ontario provincial po-
lice filed the new charges, which the
Canadian officials believe will be more
easily supported by the evidence.
Attorney w. K. Pattison, counsel for DR..
Nesbitt, then decided that, although the
charge was an offense less serious than
forgery, he would resist extradition.

GOVERNMENT WINS CASE.
Contractors Petition Dismissed By
Court of Claims. 81

In an opinion rendered yesterday after
noon by Judge Atkinson of the United
States Court Of Claims, the petition in the
case of Albert Motschman of Chicago,
Ill. is dismissed. Motschman entered into
contract with the commissioner of In
dian affairs for the erection Of certain,
buildings at the southern Ute Indian
agency, in Colorado. but on account of
116 days delay in the completion Of the
work the auditor for the Interior Depart
ment made deduction, as damages, from
the final payment.
The contractor brought suit against the
United States claiming unusual delay in
the appointment by the government Of q
superintendent of construction, and fail
ure to forward promptly plans and speci-
fcatfons The contention of the govern
ment is upheld in that the delays COM
planned of are of such nature that they
might have been foreseen and prevented
by the contractor.

Control Of the Ball.
chrlsty Mathewson, in st. Nicholas.

Cnristy Matnewson, In st. Nicholas.
The first necessity for pitcher is to
have control Of the ball. That can't be
emphasized too strongly. A boy may be
able to throw all the curves imaginable,
but If he can't put the ball where he
wants it, the batters keep walking around
the bases, and he will never win any ball
games. Therefore, / would first Of all
advise my young readers to practice ac-
curacy, until they can place the ball just
where they want to send it. Let them
pitch it to another boy, with barn or
fence as a backstop, and try to put one
high, over the inside of the plate, the
next low over the inside, and then high
over the outside, and again low over the
outside, and keep up this practice pa
tiently until mastery Of the control of the
ball is obtained. A boy will find that
even il he can't pitch q curve, but has
gooo control he will be able to win
many more ball games than IL he has a
lot Of benders, but no ability to put the
ball where he wants it.
