A minister told me that he had been forced to
give up eating at the Y M. G. A. because he
must either go around half starved or go bank
rupt. So he found a boarding house where things
not measured out by swarthy servants Of the
Pope, who seek to make non-fsh eaters feel as
if they were sighting God and insulting His
church by refusing to fast Friday This is
the news Of week in San Antonio and will per-
haps give you some idea of how things are going
on here all the time
The Society of Spiritualists collected about one
hundred and twenty-five dollars among it's mem
bers and purchased the best books along meta
physical lines, Andrew Jackson Davis being
among the list. These volumes arrived from the
publishers and were presented to the San Antonio
Public Library, given by Carnegie. The Roman
Catholics have much power over the books in
the building as they have in the Y. M. G. A.
Boarding department. Fourteen months these
splendid volumes have been left in the cases
just as they arrived from the publishers. When
several people have inquired for them, they are
told to go to the basement and get one out of
the boxes The Catholic employees have found
no time to make the usual list and put them out
where people will know they are in the building.
Mr.. and Mrs Steme live in Del Rio, Texas,
the man drank and finally left her and married
young girl. The deserted wife brought her two
children to this city, secured employment and
worked to support the three. The father OF the
children spent his earnings for whiskey and fine
clothes for his second wife. Mrs Steme No. 1,
Epscopalian, SO she went to the Diocese
School, ST. Marys Hail. to see if she could have
her daughter educated there. The price asked
beyond her power to earn. In desperation
SHE went to Breckenridge villa, Catholic
vent They took the beautiful and gifted pupil
for the price the mother thought she could
manage to pay. Each year the girl Edna stood
at the head of all her classes, and when she
graduated it was with the highest honors.
The Priest Kept This eH3autiful American girl.
But she never left the convent, she became
nun and is teaching for nothing while the
mother who cared for her child worked for years
to educate Edna, stands behind counter shaving
the years away to procure food and shelter, at the
tine of her life when she needs rest and care.

Joseph Letter. of Chicago, who is

condition with the correspondent Of
the Daily News today, he said:
"China'S national deb is small, con
sidering the enormous natural re-
sources Of the country, and for the
development of these resources for
eign capital is needed. The greatest
need of the republic now is reform Of
the currency. The present f~1uctuating
currency increases the risks OF bust
ness and scares off foreign capital.
With a stable currency china could
be assured of q large influx Of foreign
capital and a gold reserve standard
like Japan's would increase China's
credit immensely. Such a standard
would necessitate a large purchase OF
gold, but it woul pay at any price.
Foreign capital will not enter

laws, which allow mining companies
to ave only SO per cent Of foreign
capital. Foreign capitalists will not

NEW YORK, July 22.-That Ban
| Johnson, autocratic ruler OF the Amer
ican league, was crossed" by the
club owners of his circuit for the first
time yesterday when the players
| strike" was averted, leaked out today
in the aftermath of the Crisis" The
action of c. II. Ebbets, president OF
the Brooklyn National league club and
also owner Of the Newark Internation-
al league franchise in buying Player
Kraft was taken with Johnson's know
ledge. it has been learned But 1t
was done over Johnson's protest. The
fiery leader OF the younger major cir
cult wanted to fight 1t out with the
base ball players fraternity. For the
first time in the leagues history, the
magnates asserted themselves and
forced johnson to bow to their will.
They wanted no baseball players
strike and they refused to take the
chance Of one.
Johnson very vehemently told the
club owners that there would not be
any strike-that Dave Fultz of the
players fraternity was not strong
enough to swing the ball players into
line. Johnson wanted to go to the
mat with Fultz so they could crush
him, then he said there wouldn't be
repetition Of this trouble.
The league members couldn't see 1t
that way. They, too, believed that
the strike would fail, but they die not
want to take any chances. Ebbets
was at the hotel Waldorf Astoria.
The meeting was at the hotel VOL
colt. Johnson called Bbbets on the
telephone. Just what he said is not
known but in less than thirty min
utes after Johnson had called him,
Ebbets walked into the lobby Of the
Wolcott. +;
Boys, it's all settled" he said to
the assembled newspaper men. i've
bought Kraft for my Newark club
and there won't be any strike"
The room where the American
league meeting was being held was
at once stormed. Johnson, very red
OF face, came to the door and when
tol6 what Ebbets had said, replied:
"Well, what Of it? It's his affair.
not ours"
Shortly afterward the American
league meeting broke up.
Ebbetts was the goat" He off,
cialIy denied that anyone but himself
had anything to do with the deal. But
he wouldn't say anything about the
telephone call he had received before
he made his announcement Of the deal
for Kraft.

Baseball Meeting In Superior Court
Room at 1880 Tonight to De-

ton.
COME OUT TO MEETING
A Big Delegation at the Meeting To-
night May Save the Fran
chise for This
City.

There promises to be something do.
ing every minute at the mass meet
ing of baseball followers to be held
at the superior court room at 1880
O'Clock this evening. 1t Is hoped that
those hundred fans who attended the
meeting last week will all be present
and that each one of them will bring
a few friends with them. 1t is neces-
sary that a good sized crowd turn
out
With but one day left to raise the
money needed to retain the club here
the members of the financial commit
tee put in their. hardest work today.
Not only did they spend their time
soliciting funds, but they put in
good bit of time talking up the meet
ing to be held this evening.
This morning it looked very much
as if President NJ. E. Justice would
have two orphan franchises on his
hands instead of one. Many OF the
men who in the past have been strong
supporters of the club, although anx'
ious that the franchise be retained
and strongly in favor Of baseball, are
for some reason slow to respond to
the call for help.
It has been said by number that
the money for the club is here and
could be obtained under certain cir
cumstances. Just what is meant by
this, very likely will develop at the
meeting this evening.
Activities of the financial commit
tee headed by Mr.. Overton were cas-
lily apparent today A thousand hand
bills advertising the meeting to be
held tonight were distributed about
the business streets of the city early
this afternoon. The committee Is very
anxious to have big representation
present tonight, for it is believed that
If a large crowd can be gotten to-
gether that steps can be taken that
will insure our retaining the baseball
franchise.
Every man in the city, fan or not,
is invited to be present. The meet
ing is to be held in the superior court
room at 1880 this evening.
