profession of doctoring sometimes seeks to have us believe. Ordinarily, the citizen who can earn his own liv- ing and be prepared to care for others, participate intelligently in elections, pay taxes, be subject to military duty, and otherwise discharge the obliga- tions of modern life is capable of de- ciding what sort of treatment he de- sires for the conserving of his health. He is not, moreover, incapable as a rule of likewise choosing how his chil- dren shall be healed of their real or fancied ills. So care should be exer- cised to the end that friendly and self aerifcink medical practitioners shall not take upon themselves the burden of deciding these matters for all the people.
 Congress is being urged just now to enact Legislation more or less strin- gent in it's requirements Under the guise of health measures. Some of the proposed laws are doubtless well enough; others need to be tabled promptly Whatever ;c today done by legislative bodies with respect to reg ulating public health conditions should have as it's basis the recognition of the Inherent right of every individual to the exercise of his own will in car ing for himself so long as such free dom. does not interfere with equal rights of others. This generation de- mands such independence as never be- fore.
 Thank you for the courtesy of the use of your columns.
 Yours truly,

21 Years on the Diamond,
 Record of Umpire Orth

Albert Orth, who now wears the mantle of authority and other habili- ments of an umpire in Tener's well known baseball league, will celebrate today the twenty-first anniversary of his connection with the major leagues. As an umpire, Al is an umpire, and the least said of any of that nefarious tribe the better the chance of news paper to pass through the mails. Delving into Orth's past, however, re-. veals much to his credit, for he was that rara avis of the diamond, a pitcher who could bat.
 It will tax the credu1ity of the read CT to the utmost limits to believe it, but, as a matter of fact the sober truth, Al Orth, pitcher, mind ye, once batted .400!. And that in the National League! And he batted over 300 four years! Now would you throw pop bot ties at Al Orths bean?
 Orth was twirlingS for Lynchburg. in the Virginia League, when he first league moguls In 1895 Orth was the premier hurler of the Old Dominion circuit, and up to the first week in August had won twenty-two games and lost seven. Arthur Irwin, who was then piloting the Philadelphia club, beat the other major leaguers to the Virginia phenom, and on August IS, 1895, Al Orth made his first ap- pearance in the big league spangles. In his first game he got hit every time he visited the plate. which was faii- for a novice.
 In the remainder of that season Orth played in eleven games for the ouakers. He was credited with pitch

LOCAL PLAYERS WORK
 HARD PREPARING FOR
 SHAKESPEAREAN .FETE

Dr. Louis Smirnow's community play, "The Masque of Shakespeare, is scheduled to be given in Beardsley park on September 14, 15 and 1e. and the cSst, which is composed of volun- teers, are working with might and main in order to give a very finished presentation of this cleveriy written mystery play and pageant. Many of those who compose the cast have achieved distinction in matters histri- onic, and could not be termed anna teurs in the sense in which that word is sometimes used.
 This play is being put on for the benefit of the people and in an effort to foster and increase that feeling known as the community spirit. No admission is to be charged. and if ia hoped to make this first affair of the kind so successful that it will be possi- ble to give one each year. It is also the hope of those who have the matter in charge that after all expenses have been paid, that there will be enough surplus to start a fund which shall he continued year after year which will be used to fight any epidemic, such as the one which is doing SO much dam age here at the present time, infan- tile paralysis. The park board has contributed a generous sum <s a start ing point for the fund to defrav the expenses, and it is to be hoped that the contributions will be generous eii3igh so that the play can be put on properly.
 No more suitable place than Bea lay park could, have been selected to give such a masque, which in addi- tion to the human side of life deals with the fairies, and the broad green veivety sward at the park will be transformed as if by magic. into the fai,y ring. where come the elves and fairies to dance and play. It will be possible to get unusual lighting effects, and the people of the city will be giv- en a chance to see something very much out of the ordinary, yet very finished and artistic.

BIG TRAPPERs.
Indianapolis News.) )


 Not small part of the great fun business of St. Louis, and also of other fur centers, is done with the country boys of Indiana. The fur buyers of St. Louis think so we'll of the Indiana boys that when the annual price lists are sent out many of them go to the young trappers, who add to their cash on hand by this winter avocation.
 One of the most important skins in which the country boys traffic is skunk. The pelt of a skunk will measure about six inches broad by IS inches long. including the tail Prices vary from $3 to $4 for a skin that is all black except a white spot on the head, down to the mostly white skin, which Is worth from 50 cents to $1. Between these two come the skin that is black and has two white stripes running half way back to the hips, worth from $2 to $3, and the pelt that has two narrow stripes run- ming ali the way back. which is quot ed from $1.25 to $2.
 The possum. too, has a price set on his skin sufficiently high to tempt the farmer boys away from d warm fire at night. It ranges from 35 cents to $1, depending on size. The muck rats is a denizen of Indiana streams that must be on his guard. His pelt will measure about six by IS inches and is quoted at Is cents to 40 cents.
 The coon, that little brother to the bear, dare not venture forth on moist night in search of sustenance lest he run the danger of traps or big mouthed dogs. His skin can be sold for from $1 to $2.25 for an ordinary specimen to $1.5o to $3 for dark one.
 The mink, while not at all plenti- full, may often be found along In- diana streams. His hide will meas ure perhaps 1.2 by inches, and is quoted at from 50 cents to S2 for pale specimen, to $1 to $2.50 for an ordinary one and from $1.75 to $s.25 for a dark one. The fox is not quite extinct, but 1t is rare in Indiana. Oc- casionally one is caught and if the skin is in good shape and of good red it is worth from $4.75 to ss.5o. It will measure perhaps 8 1-2 by 2S inches.
 The country boy usually runs his string of traps once a day. sometimes twice. in the morning and in the. eve ming. If the weather is bad the traps may not be visited more than once in two days. Most of these ani- malls have established paths or "runs." and the traps are set in these. Many of them are exceedingly wary,' and can discover trap and will give it a wide berth.
 The amount that the boys on the farm may make varies with localities and conditions. but many of them. by adding what they get from the pedler for rabbits to what their skins bring make from SEQ to s40'a season. and some that devote much attention to z trapping considerably more.

SUSPECT fIREBUG IN $25,00O BLAZE
 AT THE BURNS co.
Officials Conduct Rigid 1nves- tigatiOn Into North
 End Fire.

Investigation was conducted today by Acting Chief c. F. Beardslee of the fire department into the. mysterious biaze lest night that swept the five story wooden store house of the Burns Co. in Lindley street. The fire had the evidence of being of incendiary origin. The watchman had passed the place where the flames broke out about 10 minutes before
 The flames were discovered by the watchman who called to George P. Burns. son of George Burns, president of the corporation, and Foreman Geo. Coughlin, who were in the office, in another part of the yard. Coughlin turned in the alarm from the private box No. S16 at 9:03 o'clock and a minute later someone turned in Box No. 8 at Lindley street and North ave- nue. Engines and 5, Chemical 1 and Truck 9 responded to the first alarm and when the second was sound ed Engine 2 and Chemical went to the scene of the fire.
 Because of the headway the flames had made before the arrival of the firemen, the men were handicapped by the intense heat as the tar. tar paper and pitch in the building fed the flames. The burning building was situated in the rear of the yard facing the railroad tracks and because of it's location several thousand feet of hose had to be laid from the three engines. Many of the flremen who were on thetr days of and who knew of the dangerous locality for fire, respond ed when the second alarm was sent in.
 The f1remen under the direction of the acting chief had the flames under control in about 20 minutes. The loss was estimated by President Geo. Burns as totalling $25,000, because much machinery was rendered use- less. George P. Burns stumbled over a line of hose and injured his left hand.
 The reserve squad of police was de- tailed to the fire from police head quarters.

ing ten games, and he lost only one of them. And he batted an even 400.
 Orth remained with the Phillies to the close of the 1901 season. In that period he twirled ninety victories, and lost sixty games. He batted .347 in 1897, and again passed the 300 mark in 1900
 In 1902 Orth jumped to the Ameri- can League. landing with Tom Loftus' Senators. His pitching arm lost some of its effectiveness, but in 1903 he again fattened his swatting average to we'll over the 300 mark.
 In 1904 Orth joined the Yankees, and he won fourteen and lost nine games for Clark Griffith's great team, which was the runner-up that year. In 1906 Orth became one of the pitch ing mafnstays of the club, working in forty -9our games, and winning twenty seven to seventeen lost. In 1907 Al was hot nearly so effective in the box, but his batting eye showed great ina provement, and he swatted the pill for an average of 1924. The next year Orth's pitching was almost a total loss, but he batted .290.
 Orth had d batting average for his entire major league pitching career. beginning in 1895 and ending in 1908, of about .275, and if any other twirler has hung up anything like this record for so long a period a study of the dope books doesn't reveal it. Orth never pitching anything like hitless ball. His delivery was usually touch ed up quite literally, but he tighten ed up when the pastime was in dan
 
 the bases, which was his great weak ness.
