WASHINGTON NEW YORK.

Next Monday fve new players, fresh
from bush league diamonds. are ex-
pected TO don Washington uniforms and

pitchers, one an infielder, and one an
outfelder. Some of the youngsters now
with the team viii have TO give up their
uniforms that the newcomers may be
clothed.
Hartford has won the Eastern Asso-
citation pennant and this releases Bill
Morley, its crack shortstop, who was
tried out by the Griffmen at Chariottes-
vile. Va, last spring. Morley comes
back to the big league for a chance and
good judges have pronounced him GER
tain to hold his own. His speed is so
great that be has been leading on in
the batting order for Hartford all year.
He has hit close to 800 and his triples
and doubles In the pinch have made him
q strong favorfte with the fans or the
Connecticut city. Morley win be played

comes along.
Petersburg has won the Virginia
League title and that means that Harry
Hedgepeth and Ben Spencer will be free

towering southpaw twirler. His best
work OF the year was to pitch double

entire eighteen innings. This victori-

to remain away. relates a writer In the
Omaha Bee. One afternoon when he
had interrupted important business for
nearly an hour the president suddenly
rose. hurried to a cupboard and drew
forth q large bottle.

and there were mutter.1gs of dlscon-

OF what was being said were heard IN

Harding Of Kentucky followed this up
Inv a fierce attack. in which he de-
nominated the proclamation as dis
union doctrine and an ATTACK on

These were perhaps the darkest
DAYS that lincoln ever knew. The
responsibility for the whole war was
upon him. and II was almost more
than he could bear. He felt he had
done right both in Diminishing McClel-
Ian and In freeing the slaves. and yet
he was being flercely assaiied for
both. His enemies had a shadow OF
ground for their structures in the fact
that the Union troops we're not win
ming victories, their claim being that
these two acta had undermined the
Shirt Of the army. In a few months
all this talk was to be largely silenced
by the two momentous Union sue
cesses that finally turned the tide in
favor Of the north. bat at this time
poor Lincoln knew nothing of vicks-
burg and Cetfysburg and had to go
through bis Valley Forge with few

During most Of that time the war had
been raging. In the west IT had been in
a measure favorable to the Union. but
In the east. where the contest must
finally be decided. the result had been
rather the reverse. Two disastrous bat
ties had been fought at Bull Run. Nc
Clellap's p%eninsular campaign was In
tue main a failure. That general had re-
deemed himself to sone extent and had
temporarily made brighter the outlook
Of the north at Antietam, but his con-
tinued innctIon following the battle
had compelled the president TO sup
plant him with Burnside.
On Dec. IS the Disastrous battle at

Stanton violently opposed Hooker. and
this opposition was seconded by many
prominent army officers. President
Lincoln hinrseif had doubts about
Rockers temperament and his ability
for an independent command.
At this point politics entered the
field. Secretary OF the Treasury Chase
was already plotting to supplant Lin
coin for the Republican presidential
nomination In 1864. 1t has since been
discovered that Lincoln knew OF
Chase's Vaccinations. but in his large
hearted magnanimity overlooked them.

The case reported by DR.. Urban is
that of a e-year-old boy, Oliver

while playing in the earth of his yard
In a short time he developed convul-
sions and finally the rigidity that is
usually precursor of death. DIR. Ur-

The child apparently did not respond
for several hours; rightly and intense
depression continued Suddenly. how
