critics, however, who declared that Amos Rusie, who was the star Of the New York Giants forx a number of years, had the most speed of any pitcher that ever delivered a ball. This recalls a story that Heinie Pietz, the former manager of the Louisville ball club in the American association, and also one of the old guard of catchers, told while in Milwaukee last season. At that time the name of Walter Johnson was on every fans lips the same as today, for he had been pitch ing remarkable ball for the Nationals and keeping them near the top.
 -sTou may talk about speed,s' re- marked Heinie, ssbut to my mind, Amos Rusie had them all beat when it came to using the cannon ball deliv- cry. say this, because have caught many of the greatest pitchers the country has ever seen. and must ad- init that Rusie had it on all of them.
 We were playing in Louisville some years ago and was catching Rusie at that time. It was in the ninth inning and just baginuing to get a bit dark Our opponents had three men on bases with one out, and the three runs would have won the game for them as we had scored only two up to that time. The three men who got on the bases did so through errors of our own players and not through any fault of Rusie.
 ''It was then that the famous pitch er called to me to come to the pitch er's box. which I did. He was very serious and said to me: 'Hei1lie can you catch the ball if I put more speed on them ? to which [ replied that I felt sure I could. We'll said Rusie. I am going to put the ball directly over the plate and all you have to do Is to hangon to it. These fellows will never get a chance to hit it.
 With that returned to the catch er's box and set myself for a little extra steam am telling you the ab- solute truth when I say that Rusie

 'eThe plain people are beginning to demand honesty in politics and cry for much needed administrative re- forms'', said the speaker. '"T'he polf- tician of the past has construed hon. esty in politics to be more thoretfcaI than practical. In business you're ex- pected to be honest; in politics-not exactly so. This state of affairs is changing and people are demanding that politics be conducted with the same mathematical honesty used in conducting business enterprise.

 He said that the Progreesives did not stand by the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill at all, but they did think that the Democratic Underwood bill was lit tie too radical. However he said, T hope that the Democratic tar iff measure will succeed beyond the. most sang11ire expectations s

Talent is perfected in. solitude, g Goethe said, and so is the up-to-date complexion.
 Everything must be subordinated to the achievement of the object in view One cannot eat rnince pies and pounds of chocolates and retain a complexion of peaches and cream; you must make your choice which to pamper-your complexion or your appetite.

She is a fascinating widow and wise, and Knowing his little weakness in this re- gard, never will offend his taste by applying powder to Her nose in his presence.

CHANDLER DRAWS BIG AUDIENCE OF
 PROGRESSIvES
Enthusiastic Reception at Mass Meeting for Noted Statesman
 of New Party

sI believe the Progressive movement is the best movement for the public good ever inaugurated in American politics. said Hon. Walter M. Chand- Ter Progressive Representative in Con- gress from New. York in address given under the auspices of the local Progressive party at the Plaza thea tre last evening. 'fI speak in al1 sim cerity when I say that I think it is best for the Republicans and best for the DemocratG.''
 ..I pity the Republican that does not take his hat off to the first 50 years of Democratic administration. The great chapters in our early history were written by the Democrats, and it is g. poor Democrat or Progressive who does not stand in reverence before the record of the Republican party d1Irin g the Civil War times,
 Some of the chief principles of the Socialist party were taught by Jesus of Nazareth. Karl Marx. the founder of Socialism, was one of the greatest thinkers and philosophers of his time.',
 That Mr. Chandler was impartial in his remarks and willing to give credit where credit is due will be seen by these QuotatdonS from his speech of last evening.
 MT, Chandler was introduced by Hor- ace H. Jackson, who characterized the Progressive party as a party of new was glad to see so many ladies present at the meting for it was the Progress sive party that had put out a support ing right arm to womankind by advo- eating the cause of woman suffrage.
 The Progressive Congressman from New York certainly proved to be a most convincing speaker and was cheered and cIapped time after time as he made some especially telling re- marks.
 He said that the purpose of the new party was to establish the actual and absolute rule of the people spEodanctng

pitched only 10 balls and everyone of them came over the plate, as if shot out of a. cannon. The one ball that was called on him could easily have been called strike and no mistake made. The players stood at the plate, and of the three, only two of them made. a swing at all and they did so after the ball was in my hands. I have caught many speedy pitchers, but never in my life did I witness such an exhibition of speed as Rusie displayed that day. The three men were struck out while they were standing there practically helpless.
 There may possibly have been a pitcher with as much speed as Rusie, but I have never seen him.~ It is no discredit to Walter Johnson to say that he has not as much speed as Rusie, for to my mind, the latter was in a class by himself and no doubt the day that he famed the three men he put all the strength into his work that time that he possessed I am only sorry that Rusie did not stick to the game and give more evidence of his wonderful work

MIR. WILSON WAS
 WISE TO SCHEME
So Republican Leader HeaIy's Neat Ruse for Rushing Through Greenwich
 Judgeship Failed

Eternal vigilance is the safeguard of legislation at the State House from now on. It is the safeguard against bad legislation, as well as the guar antee of needed legislation. A little example came at the end of the long members had gone clear through a calendar of thirty pages. Of course not all the starred matters in that book had been acted upon, but over seventy were, and that was the big gest days work the House had yet accomplished.
 There were few members left in the House and most of these were yawn- ing or preparing to depart for the weekend at home. The Republican leader looked the House over and then remarked that there were some of these unstarred judges, which they might as well dispose of.'' He had in mind Calendar No. 920; no, it was Cal endar No. 921, and as the clerk got it out the Republican leader was pre- pared to put it through- And what do you suppose it was, nestling away Substitute for House joint resolu- ton No. 91. Resolution appointing Charles D. Burnes judge of the bor- ough court of Greenwich
 WILSON ON HTS JOB.
 ''I guess will object,'' said Repre- sentative Lynn Wilson of Bridgeport, and the unstarred matter remained where it was.
 Now it was perfectly proper for the Republican leader Ito put over a Re- publican judge if he could, and it was equally proper for a Democratic Rep resentative, who was on his job, to see that he did not get away with it. The man from Windsor Locks, and the man from Bridgeport are a pretty alert team and neither is getting away with much on the other, if he can help it. With a full attendance, of course, the Windsor Locks leader has the advantage. Now MT. Wilson might have been tractabIe in the flag end of Fridays long session and all lowed MT. Healy to put Judge Burnes or his substitute across, but what a howl would have gone up from the southwestern portion Of the state!
 BURNES OR RUNGEE.
 But was it Burnes or the substitute resolution naming William c. Run gee for the Greenwich ,judgeship, that MT. Hea1y wished to pass? The pro- 'ceedings did not last sufficiently long to have ascertained this point There are many complications about the re- port Of the committee on the Green wich court. The cover of the report for Burnes bears the signature of Leader HeaIy. The inclosure is a re- port for R5Jngee, who is said to have the support of the judiciary commit tee. R1ngee is a member of the com mittee, as representative from Green wich, and has made friends in his ser vice in the House. He is an officer of the BurneS court.
