PEACE IN MICHIGAN.


 The Surveyors General has this day received a communication by express eSorn Governor 9Cass. of Detroit, stat Ing that during the present treaty now slSsiding with the contending tribes of Indians in that quarter there is no doubt but that friendly arran gements will be made with them and peace be restored to our frontier.
 In consequence of which General Tiffin is about to start number of surveying parties to the Territory of Michigan We. understand the Survey ors General has also made arrange nlents to have the geographic position of the soltther1y extreme of Lake Mich igan ascertained this fall and the Nor tIiern line Of. the State of Ohio run, which when done, but little doubt is entertained. but that agreeable to the, sessions made by the Indians at the Treaty of Deroit on the 17th of Nov, e1nbers 1907. 9 million acres of excel lent land will fall within the state of Ohio.
 Should Congress have a correct view oE this subject at the next session and direct by law that these lands should be- surveyed and erected into a land district, they will immediately sell. ana incalculab1e benefits would ac- crue both to the weak Territory of Michigan, and to the prosperous state o1 Ohio, as well as t-se United States in general

peared in 1O7 games and hung up a batting average of ,224, the lowest in many years Toward the close of the season he was given d job of warming the bench while Jack Bean cavorted in the Redland outer garden. Jock was secured from the American Association by Charley EIerzog, with whom he had played ball as a kid in Maryland.
 Although native of the Empire State, Tommy spent his youth in Cleve- land. The boys of the Ohio city have always been baseball mad, and Tom my shared in the prevailing mania for tht great game. He became a news bC3y so he could join 3, club of newsies and develop into a good player. Tom my was eighteen when he got into the professional game in Hanover, Pa, at a salary of $50 per month. The club soon went on the Rocks, but Leach landed with Petersburg, in the Virgin ia League. In 1897 he was hired by Youngstown, O., but failed to make good in such fast company and was reduced to a semi pro club in Geneva. N Y. In those days Tommy usually covered the third sack. It was while playing that position with the Auburn
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-03

New York State League club in 1898 that he made a reputation that got him a chance to shine in fast comp any. Tommy swatted at a .325 gait with Auburn, and in 1899 he was in vited to join the Louisville National League club.
 Tommy covered third and short for the ColoneIs, and when the club was transferred to Pittsburgh in 1900 Tommy went along with Fred Clarke, Honus Wagner, Deacon Phillip, Rube WaddeH and other Kentucky stars. He remained with the Pirates until 1912, when he went to tue Chicago Cubs. He was a regular with the club last year, and batted .26S. With the R eds this year he was perceptib1y slower and his swatting average fell off considerably. Tommy knows a lot of baseball lore, however, and even if his active playing days are over he is still a valuable man to have around.
 Leach became a resident of Pitts burgh many years ago, and Is now the owner of poultry farm near the Smoky City, and spends the gend months trying to coax his hens to boost their laying average.

Tommy Leach, 38 Tomorrow,
 Near End Of Diamond Career

Wee Tommy Leach, who is now en- titled to rank among the grand old men of baseball, will be thirty eight years old tomorrow. Tommy has rounded out his seventeenth year in the National League, and is now the patriarch of the circuit, with the sole exception of Honus Wagner, who join ed the Louisville Colonels two sea- sons before Tommy broke into the majors with the same club There are indications that Tommy is about through as a major league ball player although there is still a chance that he may pulla comeback. There is a rumor prevalent among the sport scribes that Tommy is forty-one, in stead of thirty-eight, but as Leach says he was born at French Creek, N. Y, on Nov. 4, 1877. we'll take his word for it. It is said that Leach was offered juicy contract to manage the Pittsburgh Federa1s couple of years ago, but turned it down because he was afraid the Feds would not last.

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. B. The "tal1y1ho!" of a coach horn, bIioWn by an American, calls out the people. of athe villages in the vicinity of The Hague two or three times a week just now, a we1l-equipped four-in-hand swings along the roads. the team also 'tooled" by an Amert- can. It is the war which is responsi- ble for this unaccustoned sight in Holland. The entire proceeds of the coaching trips are handed over to var ious societies for the relief of refugees from Belgium and other non-combat-. ants of all nationalities rendered ne cessitous by the hostilities in progress in the neighboring. countries. The coach itself is appropriately named "Re1ief''
 The idea was worked out by Mar shall Langhorne, secretary of the American Legation. and some col leagues. He one day found mail coach relapsing> into decadence~tin a mind back to the old coaching days in Virginia and, as he soon afterwards met Aurel Batonyi. the< American whip who had just come through from relief work in Belgium, the idea of coaching in aid of relief work and at the same time combining with it an element of sport was born instantly.
 A four-1n-hand team was got to- gether after much search and was soon worked into shape, and the trips began-frst to summer resorts in the near vicinity and then extending to Leyden and Haarlem and other far off cities. Relay teams were sought and found available at convenient stages and now the coach runs regu- 1ar1y with either Mr. Langhorne or MT. Batonyi holding the reins-alI the receipts from passengers going to the relief of -combatants while the parents of the idea themselves defray the expenses and in return gt not only their sport but11e the knowledge of doing a good turn to deserving people.

RELEASE OF JOHN MITCHELL
 EsThe F,ortress Monroe correspondent of the New York Herald, under date of the 30th of October 1885, gives the particulars of the release of the eloquent and and free-speaking John Mitchell. The order from the War de- partment was received on the morn ing of that day, and Gen. Miles was iI1structed to inform his prisoner that he would have transportation furni-. shed him to New York or Richmond. Mfr Mitchell chose the latter place.
 He parted with the officers whose dHty it has been for so many weeks ts act as iailers and turnkaxs nxer. h4fn, with courtesy and that genial warmth of manner characteristic. of the true Irish gentleman in acknow- 1edging even the most petty Kindness. Just before leaving Capt. Sanderson, officer Of the day. asked Mitchell for h1s autograph.
 Taking up pen, Mitchell wrote irl his dashing. ree-hand-The fool ish have confined the wise,' append i5g his name. and remarking, That's from Hack Falstaff; how do you like it 22ss. The officer made some trif1ing response to which Mitchell made no reply.
 Capt. McEwan. of Gen. Miles staff conducted him outside the fort and informed him that he, was free to go where he pleased, to which Mitchell answered. .T hope I will always be SO hefeafter, z and immediately made his way to the Hygeia. Hotel.
