London, Sept. 22.-The unparalleled
struggle on the river Aisne which
commenced about a week ago Satur-
day, has developed into siege opera
tions. The two armies, strongly en-
trenched, are carrying on an artillery
duel while the infantry makes attacks
and counter attacks which are in the
nature of sorties from a besieged for
tress.
Occasionally one or the other gains
little ground, but it is so little that
the opposing forces remain in their
trenches or take up positions in new
entrenchments Immediately behind
those from which they are driven.
1t is now becoming the conviction of
military men that nothing but outflank
ing movements can have any serious
effect on either army. The Germans,
according to their official report. have
been strongly reinforced both on their
right, where Won Kluck is making
such a stubborn stand in almost i'm
pregnable positions on the hills north
of the Aisne and in the center where
the Germans are making almost su-
perhuman efforts TO recapture Rheims.

Wedding ceremonies have been
made the medium of many strange
fancies, but it has been left to a
Rishton (England) bridegroom to
stand before the altar with his bride
in motoring overalls. Both bride and
bridegroom reached the parish church
by motorcycle, and the 35 guests were
conveyed in a similar manner. The
couple were Miss Mary Ferrier and
Mr.. Charles Cartwright. The process
sion of gaily-decorated motorcycles
scurrying along the streets with the
bridal party provided pleasant spec.
tacle. This motoring marriage is to
be carried through thoroughly, for
even the honeymoon trip to Scotland
will be done in cycle and side-car.

Ruskin's Grocery Adventure.

From time to time in the last few
years various men and women of
prominence have gone into the gro
Gerry business to give the poor a
chance to buy small quantities at the
same rate as those for which their
richer brothers buy large quantities.
Usually these plans have failed, for
some reason or other. This was the
case with Ruskins grocery, for Rus.
kin himself found it expedient to
close it. For, said he, the poor like
their groceries "brillianI e6
and eloquently ticketed, and he
would compete neither with gas nor

RLUEJACKET is REAL INDIAN.
TwirIer For the Brooklyn FederaIs Is
Full Blood Shawnee.

~Bluejackct, the indian ball player,
now grabbed by the Brooklyn Feds
and claimed b. the New York Giants
because Of u previous contract, is q
real Indian, unlike Thorpe and some
others, who have a large percentage Of
white blood in their veins.
B~luejncket was born in Oklahoma
tWenty-four years ago, and his parents
were Shawnee Indians, living on the
Shawnee national reservation, near the
Cherokee reservation.
Bluejacket lived ON the reservation
until he was big enough to be sent
away to school, when he went to the
National Cherokee Male seminary,
where he studied four years. Then he
went back to the reservation and be-
gan farming. But he was a natural
athlete, made a reputation in several
different branches of sport and driftc1
into baseball.
Two years ago Bluejacket joIHed t..
keokuk Qa.) team, then pitched for
Pekin, then Bloomington, III. This
year American and National league
teams went after him. The Giants
claim that they have his signature on
a contract, but this is denied by the
management of the Tip Tops, who sign
ed him up at just double the salary
offered by the Giants. The Federals
say that bloomington sold Bluejacket
to the Giants, but that Bluejacket had
nothing to do With it and was wise
enough to sign no papers until he fell
in with the generous Tip Tops.
Bluejacket is a big Indian. He is
six feet three inches tall and weighs
212 pounds.

impressively.

has had too many fights with the ar
biterS to regard them with much favor.
"klem's work this year has been
high class and fair" says McGraw,
'and there have been few kicks about
it. He knows the rules, and he has the
nerve to enforce them and to decide
plays as he sees them. Too many um-
pires are influenced by the attitude Of
the fans and are prone to give an ad-
vantage in close decisions to the home
team"
McGraw believes that better results
would be obtained if old ball players
were used as umpires. They have the
advantage Of knowing the rules, and
they also know by instinct where and
when plays are to be made and how
they are to be attempted. This ena-

1t is not generally known that until
the year 1884 there was a menagerie of
wild beasts in the Tower of London.
In his book, London Survivals." the
Rev. p. II. Ditchfeld writes:
"a word or two may be said about
this collection of beasts. 1t commenced
with the present of three leopards from
the Emperor Frederick to Henry III
an appropriate gift. as our sovereign
bore three of these animals on his
shield of arms. and then Il white bear
was added, for which the sheriffs of
London We're ordered to provide Il muz-
Zle and an iron chain to secure him
when out of the water and a long, stout
cord to hold him when fishing in the
Thames. We fear his successors at the
geological gardens do not enjoy the like
diversion. Then came an elephant. In
the time of Edward II. there was a
lion, for which the sheriffs, who must
have deemed these creatures trouble
some beasts, had to provide daily a
quarter of mutton.
Paul Hentzner saw here in 1898
three lionesses, a lion Of great size
called Edward VI. from his having
been born in that reign-a tiger. a lynx,
a wolf. exceedingly DID, a porcupine
and an eagle. James 1. often visited
the m%enagerie and used to enjoy bait
ing the lion with dogs or seeing Il fight
between a bear and a lion. In 1854
there were two man ty~gers'-orang-
~outangs-one of which killed a boy by
throwing a canno ball at him"
