One of the queer things in that city
is the batting of George Mullin, the
veteran pitcher Mullin is a jolly
quick -witted joker and years ago he
began talking back to the bleachers
He was warned that the bleacherites
would put him out of the business,
but persisted. Every afternoon he
would walk down in front OF the
bleachers and engage in verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own at rough repartee with
hundreds. He abused the crowd
laughed at them, accused them of
quitting" and enjoyed it, If he had
taken it seriously the result might
have been different, but after time
it became part of the game and now
the spectators in the bleachers would
not be satisfied if Mullin forgot to
start a skirmish. Last summer, go
ing out on car in Detroit. three
young fellows were talking.
"Oh, I've got a peach Of a get-back
at him today" said one, and, at the
urgent request of the others he drew
out a card and read what he was 60
ing to say to Mullin If he came near
their seats.
1t is not the great crowds that at.
tend the crucial games that exert the
strongest influence over players. True
there is natural nervousness among
all the players when tremendous
throng gathers to see them, as in
worlds series games; but the ones
that help the home team, or damage
it, are the crowd of from six to ten
thousand, stirred up by the regulars
who, day after day and season after
| season, incite those around them
There are thousands Of these regulars,
self-appointed claques or cheer mas
ters. and some of them feel as If they
are doing as much to help the team
to victory as If they were out there on
the mound pitching. The large crowds
usually are the fairest and most
sportsmanlike, for in these great gath
erings the rabid and partisan fan Is
lost and his utterances are smothered.
These crowds police themselves and
the players feel safe and assured of
fair play, and, after the first nervous
ness passes, they play their best.
A baseball crowd is much like a
mob. Without leader it is Just noise
and turmoil but with one recognized
leader it can do much. A few years
ago a number of Chicago men at
tempted to carry out a theory that the
crowd needed leaders and the result
was one of the most dangerous ex.
periments ever attempted. The White
! Sox rooters organized, band of men
far above average intelligence, who
laid daily plans for melting crowds
and stirring up enthusiasm. The
Board of Trade Rooters operated at
both Chicago parks, being organized
primarily to attack McGraw and the
Giants. They wrote and circulated
songs, invented ingenious methods of
harassing a worthy foe, and to force
undeserved victory upon the home
teams. The idea spread rapidly
''Rooters' clubs were organized in
many cities and towns to help the
home teams. For a few weeks II
looked as if the new movement would
seriously endanger the national game
The crowds grew more and more vio-
lent Then, suddenly and without
! warning almost, the widest efforts OF

CHICAGO, July 19.-William and
Otto Andler, of 1851 North Whipple

pleasantly about a lass who was going
her way with one William Dieverkorn.
Sudden anger surged through DIE
verkorn, but he held himself in check
and escorted the young woman home.
Then he came back, met Andler on
the street an gave him Earring wal
lop.
Andler soon discovered that the
blow was meant for his brother and
that Dieverkorn got mixed in the de-
livery Of the goods.
Otto Andler refused to rest on this
explanation. He caused the arrest of
DieverkOrn, and it came out in court
how William got the laugh, Otto got
the punch and DieverkOrn got the
hook.
Judge Sabith inspected the twins,
said he couldn't see any difference
and dismissed the case, warning Die
verkorn to be more discriminating in
the future.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Per-

smart habiliments, heightened by
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed TO win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt.
in his appeal to the jury of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day. After
celebrating one hour and So min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory Of the world composed of wom-
en- to hear a felony case, brought
in a verdict of acquittal.
"Of course she said she did what
she did, but we didn't think when she
said she did il, she meant she had
meant TO do IT," said one Of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams, attired in a
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much sCrutinized
by the jurywomen, made discreet os-
culatory advances to her benefactors,
and the incident was closed.
Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar
mored in attractive feminine fiXings,
was the complaining witness in the
case. She accused Mrs. Williams of
having written her a letter April 8,
attempting to extort $50 in return
for the delivery of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
1t fallen into the hands of the po-

The opening of the skull revealed
a large area of degenerated brain
cells covering the centers of speech
and memory, and an unusually large
cyst containing fluid was removed.
This would indicate that in times

NATION FINALLY
REFUSES BURR'S
PENSION PLEA
United States Decides After 70
Years Just to File Request
in National Museum.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON. July 19.-After
some deIay-79 years, TO be more or
less exact-the United States Gov
eminent has decided on final action
on Aaron Burr's application for
pension. The Government proposes
to put the application in the Ma
tional Museum. This is a patriotic
and quite Inexpensive method Of dis
posing Of a formal application for
money.
Exhibited in a glass inclosed case
in the museum, the papers may rest
peacefully and indefinitely, telling
future generations that in his last
days Burr was considerably hard
up" This is a fact not generally
known. But If future generations
happen to be observant they may
notice that the papers show Uncle
Sam 70 be bit tardy in matters Of
pensions.
Papers Valuable Historically.
Historically, the papers are very
valuable. They contain a letter writ
ten by George Washington to Aaron
Burr. which even day-about 1876
years after the letter was penned-
is i'm "A state Of perfect preservation.
Any student of values of historical
relics can tell how much such a
thing is worth officials at the Ma
tional Museum declare the letter to
be Invaluable"
The paper is bit yellow but it is
intact The ink is a trifle faded, but
can he read without difficulty even
without the aid Of glasses. And fur
thermore the letter reveals a bit of
Washington character more clearly
than "A volume Of history The miss
i've shows how the general treated
with his officers. Burr had written
to Washington requesting leave Of
absence from military duty on aC-
count Of III health and suggesting
that while off duty his pay may be
discontinued.
Here is George Washington's re-
ply to Burr.
Headquarters
Frederick. 2Gth Oct. 1878.
Dear Sir:
81 have your favor Of the gath. You,
m my opinion, carry your Ideas OF
delicacy too far when you propose to
drop your pay while the recovery OF
your health necessarily requires your
absence from the service. II is not
/ customary, and II would be unjust.
You therefore have leave to retire
until your health is so far re- estab-
| Iished as TO enable you to do your
| duty

1t. Col. Burr"
Burr's Final Appeal.

George Washingtons letter is re-
gardcd rs the most valuable paper
among the oheaf composing Burr's APP
pliCation. but the application itself
Burr's formal appeal for a pension,
has much historical worth because il
is Burr's own record of his military
service, written In 1884 just two years
before his death at the age of SO
years. i'm Port Richmond, Staten
Island, \. Y. The papers contain no
mention of Burr's famous duel with
Alexander Hamilton, in which Ham
ilton was MORALLY wounded
Burr even failed TO mention in the
papers that he had been Vice Presl-
dent OF the United States, and refer
enCe to the fact that he was arrested
and tried for treason for attempting
to form "A republic west OF the Mis-
sissippi Is also omitted. In the APP
pllcation il is recited however, that
Burr was unable TO appear IN court to
swear to the facts by reason of bod
lily iunrmity"

YANKEE FRILLS
Wife and Children Of Chinese
Minister Sail Derssed in Latest
American Fashions.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-After
more than three years in Washing
ton with her husband, Minister
Chang, Nine. Chang is returning to
the Orient She is accompanied by
two daughters, a son, Henry K.
Chang; a lit e daughter-in-law and
a tiny grand child. During her resi-
dence in America Nine. Chang has
changed her ideas about many things,
and about others she maintains the
old Chinese beliefs.
The two young daughters, Miss
Alice and Miss Lille Chang, have
been attending school in Washington
for two years, and with the progress
Of their education have abandoned
their picturesque nature clothes for
American garb.
Whether they will adopt the clothes
of their native country on their re-
turn remains TO be seen. Miss Alice
Chang, who spoke for the party at the
st. Francis before they sailed on the
Manchuria, said:
1T all depends on what is in fash
ion in China.
Favor American Fashions.
IF we find American clothes fash
ionable out there, we shall wear them
We adopted them when we entered
Gunnison Hall, our Washington
school These are more convenient
when travelling" she added, pointing

the latest frills and furbelows. When

They aren't used to them in Washing

The question of recent changes IN
China is of especial interest to Nine.
Chang and her daughters.
The idea that women may vote in
China and that the door of opportu-
nifty is opening for them daily there
has caused the Chinese women to he
