That squeeze play in the first inning
was worth the price of admission.
Eddie Foster showed perfect skill in

court triumph last week in a reversal
of Judge Foelrs opinion Of the valid

quashed the Injunction, has not yet
handed down an official opinion. But

league contract was inequitable and
that the player had mutual right with
the club owner in terminating the call

matter up to the highest tribunal of

Business in italian City Again
Has Full Sway.
All Activities Interrupted by Church
ceremonlals Are Again Taken Up
FIESTA Of 6eata 0lovanna
Ends Religious Features.

Florence.-Forence is settling down
TO business again. All the activities
interrupted by church ceremonials
are resumed, the bells are ringing at
regular and frequent intervals and ev-
erything is lively and busting, says
a correspondent. Out at sigma. a lit
tie walled town about seven miles on
the road to Pisa, a unique proceeding
incident to the season is In progress
the fiesta of the Beata Giovanna-
and when this is over the local pro
gram of religious spectacles and signi-
flcant services will have been finished.
We were strongly tempted to go there,
but on inquiry found that to appreci-
ate it fully it was necessary to make
an all-day trip, and concluded to do
our sightseeing at shorter range.
This ceremonial consists Of a series
of professions from all the villages
around the town whose chapels are de-
pendent upon the pieve or parish
church Of sigma. st. Giovanni was a
peasant maiden of the thirteenth cen
fury, noted from childhood for her
piety and virtues. While young she
vowed herself to a religious life and
passed many years, walled up in a
little cell, in meditation and prayer.
Her neighbors, generating her as a
saint before her formal recognition
as such, went to her for help and adj
vice. She performed many miracles
Of healing, especially on children. She
died alone in her cell in 1887, and it
is a local tradition that her death was
announced by the mysterious ringing
Of all the church bells in Sigma and
the adjacent villages. A chapel was
built to serve. as a shrine and her
relics were kept for use on extraor-
binary occasions, being taken to Flor
ence and Prato and elsewhere to stay
public calamities.
Easter Monday is the special festi-
val of st. Giovanni, when from the va
rious villages of the district offerings
of oil for the lamps of her shrine are
sent in professions, borne by small
children dressed as angels, riding
richly decked donkeys, and accompa-
MED by priests, acolytes and the peo-
pie in their holiday attire. These Of
ferings are carried one by one into
the church and transferred with sol

Robbed to PLAY Poker.

In one Of the southern states a
man whose habits were bad, robbed
al express company of several thou
sand dollars. Instead Of decamping
he remained in the city. He con.
fessed to the theft and said he had
lost the money playing poker. The
surety company sent a man to prose-
cute the thief. He found the de-
faulter had been receiving a good sal
airy from the express company and
that there was no reason for his
taking the money. Further investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the county
attorney had sat in the poker game
and won most Of the money; the
other players were friends Of the
county attorney. The surety company
dropped the case at once and paid the
express company the amount Of the
loss.

morning is occupied thus, as the g
ception of each procession takes con
siderable time. Meanwhile in the
public square a fair is held, and a
great crowd gathers. In the after
noon the relics of st. Giovanni are
exposed to the populace.
These local ceremonies fill a large
place in the lives of the Tuscan peas
ants, who, despite the differences be-
tween the church and the state, cling
to their religious observances tena-
ciously. The d-ispossession Of the or
ders by the present government dur
ing the latter part Of the past century
gave offense to a great number Of
the people, but this feeling is passing
and a reimbursement is in progress.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Approximately
25,S75 children under sixteen years of

these children left school in various

employment in Pennsylvania until
they have attained the fourteenth
birthday, but street trades, such as

MIDSUMMER SUGGESTIONS.
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

Hunt ant nests and destroy them.
If the little pests persist in troubling,
scatter powdered borax about the in
tested plants.
Remove stalks of tea-roses that
have bloomed; stir the soil about
them and apply some good fertilizer,
either liquid or solid. On wash days
soak the soil with soap suds.
Many of the ANIMALS if sown now,
will make a fine show in the fall.
Don't apply liquid n when the
soil is dry. If the soil is dry and you
do not wish to wait until it rains,
soak the soil with water and then ap-
ply the liquid manure.
If you do not have the so-called
German ivy, procure cuttings, If pos.
sible, this summer. 1t makes a charm.
ing plant for the window even though
1t does not bloom.
Don't wait until late in the summer
to gather the seeds. Seeds from the
very first blooms will give much finer
plants than those produced in the
late simmer.
1t Is a good practise to tie a cord
around the stems of an extra-fine
bloom and thus separate 1t from its
fellows. Watch these marked pods
and save the seed before it is scat
tered.
Wistaria seeds will grow if planted
just as soon as they mature.
Mulch, mulch, mulch. Lawn clip
pings make a fine mulch, and don't
forget that the dust mulch acts like
a charm, in dry, hot weather.

GOAT AS A MILK PRODUCER
Germans Appreciate Animate Value,
and Il Is increasing In Popularity
In That Country.

The raising Of goats In Germany has
become increasingly popular during
the last 20 years. 1t is claimed by
goat breeders that four goats are as
productive in milk as a medium.sized
COW, and that the milk possesses, be
sides, a greater nutritive value. In
hospitals, children's homes, and houses
for the treatment Of sickness, goats
milk is often preferred, largely on 40
count Of its purity and its freedom
from tu5ercular infection. Goats pos
sess today as many advantages as a
household animal as they did In a
Client times In Asia Minor and Persia.
Two goats could furnish a small Ger
man household with milk, and the
cost Of maintenance is small. Trials
have been made in the vicinity OF large
cities with goat diaries, but in almost
every case they had to be discontin-
ued On account o. losses such large
diaries have not been successful be-
cause large amounts Of fodder had
