Senator Hartwell declared that he in- tended to get cured of tired feeling before undertaking the legislative work of the summer. He Is one of the most popular members of the general assem- bly, He is of the minority faction, but because of his ability to get up smil- ing every time he is knocked out, he is influential.
 During the first half of the session, MT. Hartweil had several interesting battles He lost on the liquor question.

But his great victory came when he broke with the prohibition lobby ana not only championed the proposeds bond issue which was beaten in the senate. but led the fight for it's passage. He won brilliantly, and from that time forth was rated the strongest man of the house.
 A long number of years ago, MT. Davis served his novitiate in the house.

This Skin Peeler All

There Is a growing tendency among women of culture and fashion to pay more attention to hygienic means of preserving their charms.

WARRANT FOR COSTS
 PAID BY ROGERS
Turns Over $11,15O.O3 As Accrued Costs In Cases Where Convict
 Worked On Roads

County warrants for the sum of $11,- 15o.03 in favor of w. B. Copeland, clerk of the criminal court, were paid yes- tetday by Cleon B. Rogers, county treas- U, CT, in payment of costs of the court for convicts that had worked out their costs on the county roads. The pay ment followed the granting of writ of mardamus by Judge H. A. Sharpe of tho city court to compel payment.
 The writ was granted on the petition of Mir. Copeland after the county treasurer had refused payment of the warrants. Tho litigation was of friendly nature and was instituted to test the constitu- tionality of the recently enacted measure requiring the board of revenue to pay the clerk of the criminal court all ac- crIed costs in the cases where convicts are worked on the county roads.

 With all due respect to the genius of the immortal bard there is a whole lot in a name. Of course. as the great poet says you might call piece of limberger cheese by another name and it's odoriferous effluvia would remain the same but for "a that as Burns might say, we insist that there is an Individuality in some names that can not be discounted.
 For instance, among the names of those who were indicted by the grand jury last week was that of Erin Green. Isn't that a name to conjure with Why, the very reading of 1t involuntarily calls to mind that little emerald isle beyond the sea so poetieally described as ''the loveliest island that heaven e'er smiled on"
 It calls to mind killarney's lakes, and tke jaunting car and the Blarney stone. You can read the name backward and forward and it is just the same. for if you transpose 1t, 1t reads Green Erin, which undoubtedly impresses you more strongly for the green hills and dales of Erin have been the theme of countless song and story of the poets of many ages. So you see thore is something in name after all. Of course it is an easy matter to take issue with a poet who has been dead for nearly 300 years. but still we insist that the name counts.

Baseball.

The police authorities of several cities arc wag-
ing war on betting on baseball games and numer-
arrests have resulted In their efforts the DO
lice everywhere should be accorded the active CO.
operation OF the men who are financially interested
in the national game. Baseball has ALWAYS been
comparatively free from the faint OF gambling, in
spite OF the fact that betting on results of games
is far more difficult to suppress than betting on
horse races. The people have been devoted to
baseball for the pure sport of it, supplemented by
sort OF civic pride that invests the achievements
OF the different teams with importance that
really belongs only to the more serious things of
life 1t is this spirit that has maintained the game
at the high stage of popularity which it has en-
joycd for so many years.
Quite recently, however, instances of the con-
tests being made the medium for gambling have
multiplied, with no apparent reason unless pos.
sibly it may be traced to the influence OF the ex-
ploitation in the courts of the purely commercial
side Of the sport If baseball is to retain its hold
in public favor the evil must be suppressed and
the magnates. in self-protcction il for no other
reason, should give the law all the aid in their
power.
There has been a disposition to attribute the
falling of in attendance at the games thus far
this season to the controversies relating to the
business OF baseball. the theory being that the
eyes of the public have been opened to the fact
that sport is made subscrvient to the commercial
interests involved That this is the true explana-
ton is open to doubt The public has never been
blind to the commercial side OF the game, and it
is therefore reasonable to attribute the lack
Of the former enthusiasm over baseball to the pre-
vaing spirit OF economy and to the profound in
terest which the majority of the people are mani

Unless the Washington Railway and

unsatisfactory condition of Its cars with

lie Utilities Commission will set date
for formal hearing to call on the cor
poration to show cause why the fines
prescribesi by iaw should not be i'm

An ultimatum to this effect was sent
yesterday to the company by the commits
sion. The company was criticised in
most unsparing terms for the condition
Of its rolling stock. This condition
steadily has become worse since last
February. An average of six letters a
month have been sent to the company
requesting better service and all nf
these apparently have been totally dis

to the company shows that its patience
is about at an end. One paragraph
reads:
