 Many Millions.

London, March .--Tha mili- tant sutfragettes destroyed the GrGat Western Central depot by setting fire to it in an effort to demonstrate to society that it will be cheaper to allow them to vote than to have all the plate glass windows broken, the gov ernmcnt buildings and parks ruined and the industries of the country crippled.
 Several other depots were all so fired, the SaundersOn and Buckinghamshire were totally destroyed, and two more partial ly.

BASEBALL

The Browns are erowding the Smiths
in ior league baseball. Brooklyn
has paid high for Brown to go with
its Smith.
Max Carey OF the Pttsburg Pirates
advances the idea that the reason why
Christy MatheWson lasts so long in the
game of baseball is that he gets gen.
uinc enjoyment out of it, apart from
taking in big money. I've watched
Mathewson closely" says Max, and
I've never seen him pitch ball game
in which he didn't look as if lie were
having lot of fun" Max is doubtless
partly right anyway. 1t seems to be a
keen mental as well rs physical enjoy
ment to Christy to pitch game of
ball He loves q battle of wits, in spite
of the fact that il is generally believed
he can "sOger+ more artistically than
any man in the game.
II seems a shame 10 see so many
school boys signing big league con-
tracts The fact that an exceptional
star makes good now and then, and
his name is heralded throughout the
country. seems to serve as magnet
that draws on the youths with their
ewes bljnued to all else. There is no
Doubt that professional ball playing Is

but if the youths who sign contracts
when they are hardly of age would on
" continue their schooling they would.
be getting experience and education at
the same time. II the reports of High
school boys who have not made good
and are playing bah in some back yard
league were given as much pnbllcity
as those Of the stars who have made

have a profession to fall back on ana
an education that would stand by them
all through their lives.
