Romance Shattered.

For several hours today Paul Fittery
pitcher Of the Cincinnati baseball team
feared that he would not be able to aid
his team in this afternoons struggle with
the Philies. a warrant charging him
with desertion and nonsupport caused his
detention at detective headquarters at
City Hall.
After much trouble he was finally lib
Grated through the efforts of Paul Ban-
croft, secretary OF the Cincinnati club,
who succeeded in getting the American
Bonding and Surety Company to go Fit

The pitchers breakfast was disturbed
this morning Mt the Majestic Hotel by
the arrival of Detectives Harbridge and
Marks, Of City Hall, who presented him
with warrant just as he was samplins
his sliced peaches
This was the climax to a romance
which began In Pottsville, Pa, three
years ago There Fittery. just budding
out as a pitcher, met a pretty trained
nurse, Viola by name, and she frequently
cheeIed him as he struck out opposing
batsmen in the minors.
Three months ago, according to Mrs
Fittery, her husband left her abruptly
and gave no explanation. She swore
out warrant for his arrest i'm
mediately, but as the Cincinnati team
has not been here since. the warrant could
not be served until today.

Father-in-law Zimmerman
Laughs at His Plight.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Credtors of the
Duke Of Manchester. whose International
Educational League. a daylight moving
picture scheme, was wrecked on flnan-
cial reef, are besiegng him today at the
Ritz-Cariton in a mighty effort to coll

been Incorporated with a capital of s1O,-
100000, but it collapsed before much OF
the stock had been sold. The Duke
came here today from Philadelphia,
whittier he went a few days ago when
he realized the venture was failure.
For a while his whereabouts were
mystery as he had been reported in
Canada and then in Philadelphia.
Efforts are being made by a process
server for Thomas f. Calvin. a Fifth
avenue florist, to find the Duke, so that
papers can be served on him in a suit
to recover $3.50 which it is alleged the
Duke owes on a florist bill. Louis f.
Pearl, attorney for Calvin. says he
chased the Englishman for weeks be-
fore he paid $3.50 on account of S72S
bill. The Duke also gave another check
for $3.50, but it came back marked mo

In March 1900 the Duke married Miss
Helen Zimmerman. daughter Of Eugene

railroad magnate, of Cincinnati. The
Duke and Duchess have passed much of

to suppose that he lost any such amount
in any enterprise. He did not have it to

 This was all he had to say, but turn ing to the gallery part of the audience he added, with stentorian voice, And permit me further to observe, that tue man who raises his hand against a woman, save in the way of kindness. is unworthy the name of Briton." !"

CHANGE IN MEDICAL VIEWS
Ideas That Were Held Sacred in the Past Have Lately Been Radi-
 calIy Revised.

We are getting sound views on a good many things with which we have been going headlong in recent years, remarks the Indianapolis News. The rage for operation in cases of ap- pendicitis is subsiding. When the discovery of the germ theory and an tiseptic treatment made possible op- erations that until then were impos- sible, rage for operation in appendi- citis came in. Now it is held that operations for this afflietion, which used to be called inflammation of the bowels, shall not be employed except in the last extremity. Similarly it is now affirmed that the appendix is not a useless obstruction, but has import ant functions.
 There begins now protest against the fresh air fad that has had it's own way these many years. Those that have predicted that it was fad like the blue glass" treatment for rheu- matism and other ills which ragged many years ago, feel like prophets. In other days houses had blue grass room just as in recent years they have "open air sleeping chambers" added. And men and women used to sit solemnly many hours a day, when the sun shone, in their blue glass chambers allowing the blue ray to wander over their afflicted bodies. Wonderful cures were the result. But old rheumatism, like the cat, had the habit of coming back. Now Dr. Dut- ton, in the Medical Times, says the profession has been carried away with the fresh air fad. It is import ant, he says, to distinguish between fresh air and pure air. The latter contains ozone. which is the vitalizing principle of air and is free from par ticles of dust But fresh air is likely to be dust laden and moreover is cold, and often impregnated with moisture.
 The dust is not menace to healthy people unless it carries germs. But in the case of tuberculosis and other anemic affiictions. it is a menace. Such cases suffer from the inability to create heat. They require air that is not only pure, but warm. To expose them to cold, damp fresh" air, the doctor says, is cruelty without benefit. The problem for such cases is to pro vide warm, dry, pure air with as much exposure to the rays of the sun as possible.

were a few English speaking people in Aylhi. He had met most of these a few evenings since at social func- tion, Miss Wharton and her brother, Harold. among them. Once having met Eloise, he could never forget her. She had told him that she and her brother planned to leave for Bengay and then the country at once.
 There was a warning token of dis quiet in the air the days following. Ralph was a comparative stranger in Aylhi and did not entirely under stand what it all meant. He noticed, however, very few English speaking people on the streets and had been told that most of them had gone to Bengay. He inferred that rumors of an uprising of natives in the near neighborhood was the cause of this but this was permanent cause of un- rest in the community, and he did not attach any unusual importance to the rumor.
 Now he had seen Miss Wharton, whom he supposed had left Aylhi
 
 derment she had disappeared in na- tive shop. She did not come out for an hour or two. Ralph marvelled and then he became anxious. He en- tered the place.
 A Parsee trader sat on his cushions behind the counter conversing with a dignided vizier, some close friend. Both regarded Ralph keenly, but not with animosity.
 A friend, lady, entered your es- taoiishment two hours ago." began Ralph.
 It is true," bowed the trader.
 If l could speak with her.
 It is not allowed" spoke the trad CT grayely. "See," and he showed across doorway the ribbon of safe " used by the natives to indicate a sanctuary" My friend. because you are her friend and of her blood-go."
 You mean"
 To Bengay. The sword is dangling rom mere thread. It may fall at any moment. You are in peril. The lady has been placed under my strict charge She is safe, she is hidden. 10 not compromise that security by oeing seen here"
 Halph only partly surmised the sit uauon, but he believed that Harold Wharton had entrusted his sister to safe hands Why, however, had he ieit her in this hot bed of sedition and peril? His interest was height eAed in the fair girl he scarcely knew. he might have put her entirely from HIS mind but for the memory of that name written in the sand.

 We must fly instantly" he told the astonished girl, after he had rapidly depicted their peril.
 Yes. yes," she replied tumultuous- ly. The bird-I must save that"
 She seized a covered cage. By de- vious ways they reached the yards of various houses, finally seeking ref. uge in a vacant one.
 Then at its front came a great up roar The hoarse challenge of the na- tive leader sounded the challenge as he beat upon the locked door!
 "Ghenji Mutat?"
 To the startled wonder of the refu- gees from directly where they crouch. ed in the darkness there rang out shrilly the response:
 "Ejah toluei"
 They could hear the native leader mark upon the door, the mob pass on.
 "A parrot!' exclaimed Ralph, glan cling at the covered cage.
 Yes" responded Eloise. 'I boughs it from a native woman. That must have been the password it had learn ed somewhere"
 Two hours later, at the head of a large party Harold Wharton and his friends reached Aylhi. He had gone away for that purpose.
 And within the scope of those two hours Eloise and Ralph, comrades ir peril, knew that they loved one an other, and, with peace restored, there was a happy wedding.

 He hoped it and the sentiment fed his longing heart. He quickened his step. The girl had entered street of shops. Then proceeding less than half hundred yards, she disappeared within the broad open doorway of a curio store.
 Young Evans came to a halt, scanned the place so he would re. member it and reflected. His envir- onment was a peculiar one. He had been sent to the province as a silk buyer for a Boston house. There
