TROJAN JOHN HAS
 "A BIRTHDAY

Write the twenty-first of July in John J. Evers. the Keystone King. the Human Crab, the Trojan Terror and the Perambulating Pepper Pot. The most illustrious Trojan since Hell en was born in Troy on July 21, 1883, which makes him thirty-three today. Johnny has been fortunate in break ing into worlds series distributions of the long green, but in other ways he has had more than his share of tough luck. First to last he has probably suffered more and worse injuries than any other pastimer now in the game.
 He has had both his- legs broken, also both his arms. His body, from head to heel, bears the scars of battle and he knows just how it feels to have the spikes stuck into almost any part of his anatomy. He has been near death's door from pneumonia, and has suffered divers other ills and injuries.
 This season his throwing arm has been giving him lot of trouble and has kept him out of the game great deal. He has made lot of money during his fifteen years in major league ball. but he has lost much of 1t in unfortunate business deals Evers has been noted for his pugna- cious temperament ever since he started with Troy back in 1902 This season he has tried va1orously to put curb on his aggressiveness, and to a considerable extent he has succeeded,
 They say in Troy that the New York State League umpires were mighty glad when Evers was sold to the Cubs. which was in a few months after he
 broke into the game, and he has been
 unable to keep clear of the arbiters for any extended period since that time.

THE LIGHTNING.

The lightning was particularly ter -finc yesterday afternoon in the towns
 about this city. s We hear of about
 one case, however, where injury was
 sustained from its effects. The Epis- |copal church in Nichols Farms, was struck by a bolt and injured to some
 extent. though not serious. At the
 same instant a large tree in front
 of Mrs Bartram's house, some 30 rods distant from the church was also struck. and the supposition is that the electricity must have separ- ated in the air. one portion descend ing al1S ts.king the tree in it's course, while tho other and larger portion dis charged itself upon the church. The

President Wilson's Mexican Policy Is Defended By
 Republican Senators.

Washington, July 21.-The Senate ,, yesterday rejected the La Toilette
 amendment to prohibit the use of the navy for collecting debts of Americans in South and Central American coun- tries, by a vote of A to 8. Those vo- ting for 1t were Senators Chamber lain, Gronna, La Toilette, Lane. Ken yon, Maritime, Norris and Vardeman. Senator La Toilette spoke all day against the Naval Appropriation Bill
 and for its amendment. He charged a criminal conspiracy to force the
 Government to spend great sums of the peoples money for means of na- tional defense which the country does
 not need.
 What has happended," said he
 "that we should increase our military
 appropriations from $429,OO0 900 last year to $S40,0O0,000 this year? All
 reason Is on the other side. The other countries of the world are losing bat tleships, killing their men by millions and pouring out their wealth. By their own acts they are making it inn possible ever to menace us again. '"The people are going to know whether these increased appropria- tions are for their defense or to set America on a new scheme of militar- ism-to collect individual debts owed American bondholders and conces- sionaires and to pile up munitions profits.
 'The people will know. Beware of the Ides of November" Mr. La Fol- lette then indorsed President Wilson's s
 Mexican policy.
 Go Into Mexico to Speculate 'T think" continued Senator La Toilette, "that American people who
 go into Mexico go there to make big
 money to speculate. believe every man from this country who goes into a foreign land looking for profits should accept the laws of that new Government as an arbiter for his rights. "The thing that attracts most | Americans to Mexico is the great wealth of natural resources where an Investment of $100,O00 will buy prop erty worth million under stable
