.LECTURED ON JOAN
OF ARC and LAFAYETTE

Prof. Charles Seymour of Boston,
gave two lectures at Boston the first
Of the week. Mr.. Seymour lectured
on Wednesday morning on Joan OF
Arc. and yesterday on Lafayette. Mr..
Seymour lectures ON historical sub
jects, presenting his material in an in
teresting narrative manner presents
striking scenes dramatically, and en-
ploys picturesque scenes and language.
His story Of Joan Of Arc was a SPLEEN
did, sympathetic effort. He told Of the
simple rural life of Joan, of her Wis
ions, and Of her audience with the
king: then Of her military career, and
of the successful realization Of her
visions in the release Of Orleans from
siege and the browning Of the king;
then he told of the sad ENHANCEMENT
amid hate, superstition, and prejudice
that finally brought Joan to the stake
at Rouen in 1431.
In his lecture yesterday, MI. Sey-
mour recounted the life of Lafayette,
his connection with the Kings guards
in France. his coming to America, and
his help in the cause of liberty, his
return to france, his part in the French
revolution and later imprisonment. In
1924, when Lafayette was poor and 70
years old, he was invited to visit
America, and here he was treated gen
.erously by the national congress and
by the whole people. It was a thrilling
narrative. Mr.. Seymour's lectures
were memorable ones, and were excel
lent beginnings to the series Of lectures
and entertainments that will be given
during the summer session.

NARROW ESCAPE
-. FOR OFFICER

Officer John Milligan, traffic po-
liceman at the corner of N. P. avenue
and Broadway, narrowly escaped be-
ing killed yesterday, when he stopped
a runaway team hitched to a farm
wagon.
The team, which belonged to J.
Macy, a farmer living near this city,
was left for a time near the Great
Northern depot, while Macy was in
side. They took fright at a passing
automobile and ran.
The frightened horses ran west to
Eighth street, turned south, and ran
to N. P. avenue where = they turned
east again. AS they crossed Broadway
Officer Milligan leaped at the bride
of the horse neares him. He caught
the bride, but the jerk threw him off
his feet and he was knocked under
meath the horses.
Fortunately the animals did not
step on him, and beyond some bruises
and a torn uniform, he was not much
hurt. The animals were stopped suf-
fic1ently so that Officer overly was
able to catch them and hold them.

PUBLIC IS ASKED
TO COOPERATE

A statement to the general public
OF Fargo. soliciting the cooperation of
the citizens in preventing any likeli-
hood OF danger at the boat landing
on the Red River at the end OF the
Island Park drive. on Fourth. street,
south, was issued this morning by
Senator Porterfield, president of the
Fargo park board, and Commissioner
of Police Jordan. Following Is their
request:
To the general public: In view Of
the tact that large numbers of peo-
pie frequently assemble in automo-
plies n otherwise on Fourth street
In the vicinity of the foot bridge,
where the street is narrow, thereby
impeding free passage along that
thoroughfare, it is found necessary to
make some provision for the safety
and convenience of those who visit the
vicinity of the boat landing. To this
end We ask the public to join us. If
the pedestrians will kindly keep off
the paved streets, as far as possible,
and those in automobiles and car
rlages will keep the way clear for a
distance of 200 feet, both north and
south Of the foot-bridge, the effort to
assist in the pleasure and convenience
to those who may visit our park and
boating dock will be appreciated.

President Park Board.

SANATORIUN GOES
TO LAKE PARK

The Anti-Tuberculosis sanatorium to
be erected jointly by Clay and Becker
counties will be erected at Lake Park
according to the selection of the ad-
Visory board at st. Paul to which body
the matter was referred to after the
joint commissions of the two counties
had become d~eadlocked on the matter
Of the selection of a site.
Atty. W. George Hammett of Hawley,
chairman Of the Clay county commiss-
ion appointed to act with a like COM
mission from Becker county to locate
the Anti-Tuberculosis sanatrium to
be erected jointly by the two counties.
received a communication yesterday
morning from the state advisory board
the sanatorium after the joint COM
mission Of h W counties had dead
locked over the choice of the site, three
favoring the Hawley site and three the
Lake Park site. The communication
was to the effect that the advisory
board had decided in favor Of the Lake
site, thus giving Becker county
the location of the sanatorium.
Mr.. Hammett say that pursuant to
the decision of the advisory board
Becker county will have the majority
representation or the joint board of
Observation-Disclosures county 8, Clay
county 2. Both sites were admittedly
ed and the act that Dr.. Winberg OF
LAX Park was the prime mover in the
effort for the securing OF a Sanatorlum
board, and has worked early and late
to that end, may have influenced the
board in its decision; Clay county re-
n is ready to recognize the poetic
justice of the decision while still of
the opinion hat their site held the
edge on the Lake Park site.

THEN

Sixty-eight years ago today, the
record was played. The game
was between the Knickerbocker
and New York baseball clubs in
the Elysian fields at Hoboken, N.
J.. The players were members Of
the leading New York families,
and engaged in the sport as a pas
time. A bevy of town bellies in
the group of spectators made the
occasion seem like a social func-
ton. The field was marked off
into the baseball diamond so fami-
liar today. None Of the players
wore gloves, masks, or protectors
1t was the custom for the batter
to say where he wanted the ball
thrown. The pitcher or ttgiver,'' as
was then called, delivered it with
an underhand toss, according to
the rules of the game. 1t was
thought that the pitcher had an
unfair. advantage over the bat
ter when he threw the ball over
hand, hence the rule. The catcher
stood at safe distance behind
the batter, ready to catch the ball
that if he caught the third strike
on the first bound the batter was
out; otherwise he must throw to
first base to put him out. Like
wise, the fielders, or scouts"
were permitted to catch hits on
the first bound. Three outs re-
tired the side. The team that first
scored 81 runs, or faces" regard
less of the number of innings
played, was accounted the win
ner. After the game, the play
ers resorted to one Of the famous
taverns Of the day where the
victors had a dinner at the ex-
pense of the vanquished.
