Cubs. He would have been with the
Tigers more formidable about the time
that he was released from Detroit. He
was one of the men on whom the

Herman Schaefer, second baseman, is
with the Washington club, more as a
comedian and coach than as a player,
although he pinch hits once in a while.
Tom Jones, first baseman, is with
the Milwaukee club, and he seems des-
tined to stay in the near-major league
for some time yet. Claude Rossman,
another first sacker, is in the same
league, with the Minneapolis aggrega-
ton, which is so often caricatured by
pen pictures, in which gray whiskers,
canes and other accompaniment of old
age are prominent.

There wasn't single Tiger signed
with the Detroit club this spring when
the advance squad of the pitching staff
began work who helped win the Tigers
first American league pennant in 1907.
The old gang that pitched and
pounded (mostly pounded) out the first
Tiger flag is scattered all over the
country.
Leading in the roll Of honor, un-
doubtedly comes Wild Bill Donovan
and his smile. Donovan was released
from the Tigers several months after
he had ceased to be of service to them
as a pitcher in order that he might

her $500 and costs on a charge of dis
orderly conduct.
This was the outcome of the neigh
borhod quarrel between Mrs. Mord-
horst and Swan Peterson, in which
each swore out a warrant against the
other. Peterson was dismissed be
cause there was nothing against him.
Owing To- the small size of the po-
lice court room Judge Entrikin was
forced TO hold the trial in the munich
pal court room OF the new city build
ing. and the place was packed TO the
doors with a crowd of interested spec
tatOrs.

bors were present TO testify against
her. but as no defense was offered on
~ a few were called TO the stand. At

scented the defendant, has appealed the
case.

RUNNING Mater.

Have you ever noticed. when the wa
ter has almost all run out of the bath
tub. how the light particles on the sur
face seem then TO race out much faster
than the water? As n matter of fact
they are travelling faster than most Of
the water. but no faster than that on
the surface.
The reason is not far to seek. Run
ming water, even In n river, goes AT dir
ferent rates, but fastest on the top sur
face right in the middle of the stream.
Friction with the sides and bottom
makes the water there go more slowly
So the light Particles on top OF the
water in the bathtub, along with the
surface water. rush ahead at a GOOD
rate.
This particular popularity In rivers
is utilized by boatmen when they have
to go up swift stream; they always
paddle up near the bank. And at curves.
as the water swings outward, they
take the inside bank. for there the
water is almost still. On the other
hand. In coming down the very center

SAVED 5000 FOR
A DECENT BURIAL
j. N. Mccarthy Who Died at
City Hospital Saturday Was
Not a Pauper.

1t developed today that the man who
applied while i'll at the police station
last week and who was taken at once
to the city hospital, where he died
Saturday morning, was not Joseph
Nellman hobo and pauper, but ]. N
Mccarthy. former arsenal working
man, and with some 5000 deposited in
local bank for the express purpose
of giving him a decent burial.
A year ago Mccarthy, aged 63, and
without relatives, realized that his
health was failing and that he had but
a snort while to live. He was work
ing in the arsenal, and he then started
by frugal living to save his money in
order that when he died he would not
be given a pauper's burial. Finally he
had saved 5000, and then, owing to i'll
health he was forced to quit work
During the past winter he would not
touch the money in the bank, but lived
by begging and doing odd jobs.
When Mccarthy applied last week
to the police for help he gave a ficti-
local undertaking establishment and
prepared for burial in a rough box in
the potters field. 1t was removed to
Riverside cemetery for interment, but
as the grave was not ready it was de-
posted in a vault.
This morning it was learned that
the supposed pauper was Joseph Nc
Carthy and that he had 5000 in a local
bank.
This resulted in a complete change
N plans, and the newly dug grave was
'eflled, but without the rough box and !
he corpse therein. The remains were !
brought back to the undertaking estab- |
ishment, fine coffin was secured and |
lie will be buried amidst impressive :
ceremonies tomorrow morning Fun
rial services will be held in the st. |

HERE'S ANOTHER
LOCAL REF0RMER
Tries to Have Farmer Arrested
for Flowing on Sunday and
Swearing at Horses.

Another local reformer has made his
appearance in Moline judging from
the story told by the city police this
morning. 1t seems that man phoned
the station yesterday afternoon and
asked that a policeman be sent to
Forty-fourth street. He then hung up
before the desk sergeant had time to
ask a question.
The patrol auto was soon hustling
through the streets to the scene of the
trouble and reached the spot in rec.
ord-breaking time. The officers dis.
mounted, but could see nothing more
exciting than a farmer blowing his
field and another Sunday-clothed citi-
zen near the fence. The well dressed
citizen, however, was reckoning fran
tically to the policemen, and they
made haste to his assistance.
Officer" he cried, as he pointed to
the blowing farmer, 81 want you to ar
rest that man at once"
Why" was the query.
Cant you see he is blowing on Sun
day? And furthermore he swore at
me-"
The spokesman of the police force
scratched his head in perplexity and
then a bright idea struck him.
There is no law" he said, against
blowing on Sunday. But if you can
drive those horses around that field
one without swearing at EN- I'll arrest |
the farmer"
But the well dressed citizen refused |
the offer and left in high dungeon.
