by the exposition people. by certain in
dividuals. The trip was considered as
good as arranged until reply was re-
ceived from Frisco guaranteeing the S15.-
600 but demanding such a big slice of
the receipts that neither the Phillies nor
the Bostons would consider it as
financial proposition.
A meeting was held last night at the
Bellevue-Stratford. when all these mat
tiers were gone over by President Baker
of the Phillies. President Lannin of
Boston, Manager Pat Moran and Robert
McRoy. the business manager for the
national commission.
Neither the club nor the players would
consider any proposition that did not
contain guarantee of $4,000, and
chance for the clubs to share in the
receipts. The players want to be sure
of theirs, and the clubs, which will have
TO finance tAe trip, desire some return.
Several Games En- Route.
1t is proposed to play several games
en- route to the coast and it was an
nounced that the terms reached with
the teams that will be played on the
trip were satisfactory. The whole trip,
therefore. depends upon the induce
ments made at Frisco. Word of the dis
Berry of the San Francisco club. and
he was asked to make a proposition
that the clubs could accept.
Mr.. McRoy willy remain here until to-
day to receive the reply and will then
notify the presidents of the Phillies and
Red Sox. 1t was said that the players
refused to take the trip unless they
were assured of the $4,000. The clubs
do not show any inclination to guar
antee that sum and apparently. no fig
ures being mentioned, the offer from
Frisco did not permit of enough per-
centage of the receipts to the clubs for
them to finance the trip.
a dispatch from Cincinnati says
Frank G. Bancroft business manager
of the Cincinnati Nationals, announced
last night that the decision of the ma
tional base ball commission to send the
Boston Americans and the Philadelphia
Nationals to the Pacific coast would
not alter his plans to take an Ameri-
can and National all-star team to the
Pacific northwest.
Bancroft said he already had select
ed his team from the various National
League clubs and that "Dick" HoblitZel
first baseman of the Boston Americans,
was delegated to choose the players
from his league for the American
team. Hoblitzel also was to have acted
as manager of the American players,
but some other man will be named to
manage the representatives of that
league.
Bancroft's two all-star teams are
booked to start on the trip October 20
and close November 10 in Portland Ore.

First Enulish Paper.

On March II, 1902, appeared the
first British daily paper. Its title was
the Daily Courant, and its publisher
was Re. Mallet, against the Ditch at
Fleet Bridge" But our daily papers
have altered in the two succeeding
centuries. The Courant was a single
sheet of but two columns. It pub
lished foreign news only, and was in
nocent of any editorial matter, the
reason being that the editor-publisher
supposed other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves And it will cause no sur
prise that such an editor soon gave
up his job, sold his paper. and that
its very site is now buried beneath

Why do you wish to break our en-,
gagement?' asked May Earle of Ned
ward, as he stood before her in the
garden of her fathers house.
1t had been hard request for him
to make, but he had nerved himself
to do so. At first the girl had made
no rejoinder; she was too astonished
to speak. Then she turned and faced
him.
Il have ceased to love YOU" he an
swered quietly.
You are free, then" said Miss
Earle, and went on clipping the lilac
boughs. And Ned Ward walked
away, sick at heart, and yet with a
curious sense of happiness at the con-
clusion of the inevitable.
Eight months before Ned Ward had
come to Bentham, to enter the local
bank as assistant manager John
Earle had been his predecessor, but
he had died suddenly. Ned found him
self thrown into contact with his
daughter May; friendship developed
and apparently ripened into love. He
proposed and was accepted. He
lived in ecstasy for weeks.
He knew that John Earl had left no
money except thousand dollars Of
insurance, and that May was totally
unused to work. He was glad that he
