1916 and 1908.

The two pennant races of 1916 re- call the wild and frenzied finishes of 1908. That year in the National league New York, Chicago and Pitts burgh were all in a lump on the last two days while Detroit, Chicago, St, Louis and Cleveland were knOtted and clotted in the American.
 There were seven teams in the hunt then to the final week. Nineteen sixteen will hardly be as spectacular, but there will be at least three Ma tional league clubs scurrying together along the September stretch, with at least four American league clubs, and possibly five, closely scrambled around the last turn

NASHVILLE CLUB WINS PENNANT

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 2.-The Nashville club yesterday clinched the Southern Association pennant by de- feating Little Rock here. The victory gave the club a lead of nine games over New Orleans, with only eight games to be played.
New Britain herald., 1916-09-02

As we have announced in these dispatches before, our first yearn was that Cincinnati and Cleveland or the New York Tanks would enter world series. That being impossible, as it now looks, our next desire centered upon or around St. Louis and Brook lyn. It is always a thrilling sight to see a, new entry founder on up to the heights. If Fielder Jones could steer the Browns into first place it would be worth a world series trip from Boston or Brooklyn or Philadelphia to St. Louis, back and forth, and any one who thinks such a trip is going to be a romp should have his attic repaired at once before it becomes a total loss.

RENEWED ACTIVITY
 IN COTTON MARKET
Peace RumOrs Largely Respon- sible-ClOSe is 13 to Is Points Up-ApprehensiOns as to Eff feet of Low Temperatures.

New York, May 18.-The cotton market showed renewed activity and strength today on less favorable view of weather conditions and in- creasing confidence in peace rumors. After selling at 1923 early, July eased off several points under realiz- ing, but later advanced to 1926 and closed at 1923, with the general list closing steady at net gain of 13 to Is points for the day.
 Cables were relatively firm and .he market here opened firm at an ad- vance of 9 to II points selling II to 16 points net higher on or immedi- ately following the call. The advance attracted good deal of realizing and perhaps some fresh selling for a re- action under which prices eased off some 6 or ' points from the best dur ing the middle of the day with Octo- Der selling down to 1923 and Decem- Der to 1897. Offerings were well absorbed at the decline, however, and prices tirmed up during the middle of the afternoon on reports of severe storm entering Texas from the gulf and renewal of peace rumors. Oc- tober sold up to 1881 and December to 1894, or back within s or 9 points of last weeks high record, while old crop deliveries made new high ground for the movement.
 While rains were needed in south west Texas there was some talk that the state was getting too much wet weather. There were also apprehen- temperatures.
 Cotton closed steady.

GERMANS URGED TO
 OBSERVE U. 5. LAW
Berlin Officials Will Not COun- tenance Violations of Neutral ity in United States by Ger man Citizens.

Washington, May 18.-Germany. through Count Bernstorff, her ambas- sador, has instructed all German con- suls in the United States to admonish German citizens in their districts scrupulously to observe American laws. This was done in an effort to end various alleged violations of American neutrality.
 The ambassador acted on instruc- from the Berlin foreign office. The action was announced from the Ger man embassy.
 "ln consequences of cases which have occurred of late, the German ambassador has sent instructions to all German conSuls in the United States to impress strongly upon Ger man citizens living in their districts that it is their duty scrupulously to obey the laws of the state in which they reside"
 It was said at the German em- bassy that the instructions designed to prevent plots or lawlessness on the part of German citizens.

RAILROADS PETITION
 FOR NEW TARIFF

Little Rock, May l9.-One of the most important hearings in a long time is being had today before the Arkansas Railroad Commission. Four roads, the Rock Island, the Iron Noun tain, the Cotton Belt and the M. X N. A., have petitioned the Commits sion for permission to put into effect a new tariff on rough material, prin- cipally lumber. It would mean a con siderable increase, probably an aver age of one cent per hundred for all distances.
 The lumber companies all over the state are making a hard fight against the proposed increase, declaring that the conditions of the traffic justifies the advance. There are several hun dred interested mill men and railroad men in attendance at the session of the Commission.
 The Commission held a meeting in West Memphis yesterday to consider petitions that have been filed to re- quire the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island to establish a depot at that point.

VETERANS IN GRAY
 MARCH IN REVIEW
Parade is Grand Climax to Con- federate Reunion in Birming- ham-Old Soldiers Dance, and Cheer.

Birmingham, Ala, May 18.-The twenty annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans became history when the remnants of the gray armies of the South passed in review in their grand parade this afternoon. It was the closing scene of one of the most successful gatherings held by the organization and was witnessed by tens of thousands.
 Washington, the national capital, will entertain the Southerners next year, but there will be fewer veterans there. According to Adjutant Gen Ieral Mickle, death is reducing the ranks at the rate of IA per cent year. Those who can go, however, are promising themselves the pleasure of marching down Pennsylvania ave nue and being reviewed by a Demo- cratic president"
 Following the parade in the after noon a brigade of Texas veterans commanded by Col. Vik Reinhardt and several companies of the Ala bama National Guard commanded by Maj. Carl Seals, fought a sham battle at the fair grounds.
 Tonight scores of special trains are scattering the veterans and visitors to their homes in all sections of the South
 1 The lines of the Boys in Gray" came into their own again when the surviving soldiers of the Confectionery marched in review as the climax to their twenty-siXth reunion. Cool, cloudy weather helped furnish ideal conditions for the occasion ana com paratively few of the veterans were compelled to withdraw from the line. It took two hours and 20 minutes for the procession to pass a given point.
 Massed in front of Hhe reviewing stand at Twentieth street and Fifth avenue, where Gen. Bennett H. Young and his staff took their positions, were the bands, while the department al staffs, as they arrived at the stand, took their places on the right of the general staff.
 The streets were riot of color, great splotches of red, green, blue, black and white being furnished by the bands and uniformed fraternal organizations. interspersed were the quieter shades of gray and faded vel low in the uniform of the veterans and the brighter colors of the dresses and hats of the school children, sponsors, maids and matrons of honor.

MISS KATE O'CONNELL.

Friends here were very much sur
prised Saturday night at the death
notice of Miss Kate O'Connell in the
Telegraph Herald. Nobody knew that
Miss O'Connell had gone to this
home in Dubuque and no one was in
formed of her passing away for near
ly week afterwards. Miss O'Con-
nell had lived in Earlville for about
sixty years with her parents and
brother, Dennis. Earlville never had
better citizens than this family. First
the mother died. She sleeps in the
family lot in the Catholic cemetery
at Delhi; then the father died; he
sleeps peacefully beside the moth
er; then after a few years it be-
came the sisters painful duty to take
her brother to Delhi, and there was
just space enough for the sole surv1-
vor of the family. How she loved,
cherished and longed for that little
spot she would call home, but it was
denied her she rests i'm Dubuque
No daughter and sister could have
been more devotedly attached to
their loved ones than Miss O'Con-
nell was to hers, and it was her
custom to make weekly or monthly
visits to those mounds at Delhi,
where everything was in readiness,
excepting to inscribe date which
her loving hands had provided in
memory of her father, mother, broth
er and herself. She had no relatives
so it became her duty to make all
provisions for the future. For the

Modern Marriage.

Marriage may once nave been com.
parable to profession. 1t is not now.
It may once, for woman, have been
comparable to slavery. 1t is not now.
Marriage, in fact. cannot be classed
with anything but itself. 1t is mar
@riage and nothing. else-as wonderful
mixture of experiences and duties on
many different planes. So far as it's
spiritual demands go, it may require
everything or nothing. 1t may of ne
cessity fill her life or leave it empty.
TO call it profession is to blur its
meaning, for j, is much more than this
and much less.
