Big DEAL
Pulled by President weeghman, Of
Chicago Cubs, When He Pur.
.chases Alexander and Klllifer,
MOran's Great Battery.

New York, December 1l--One OF
the biggest deals in the history OF
baseball was the eliminating feature
of today's session Of the annual meet
ing of the National League. Grover
Cleveland Alexander, the star pitcher
Of the Philadelphia Nationals, and his
battery mate, William Killifer, were
sold to the Chicago National League
Club. Alexander has only one rival
among baseball pitchers, Walter
Johnson, of the Washington Amerl-
cans. Killifer is rated among the best
catchers in baseball and did more ac-
tual work than any other catcher in
baseball last season.
Neither President Weeghman, Of
Chicago, nor President Baker, of The
Philadelphia club, would name the
purchase price, though Weeghn all
said 1t was the biggest price ever
paid for two big league players. The
figures were estimated between $780,
900 ando 100000. The Chicago club
threw in Pitcher Mike Prendergast
and Catcher Dilhoefer to clinch the
DEAL
President Weeghman was elated
over the deal. ut is the first move
in putting the Cubs back into the
race" he said. 1--WE want to give the
Cubs some of the prestige they lad
in their former years, and, II possit le
we will put over some more deals | Ike
it,"
Baker excused the deal on The
grounds that it was strictly bLsi'
ness affair. He said that while Alex
andder still was great pitcher, he
was slipping little and was no long
er the pitcher he was two years ago
He also said that during these wal
times the Philadelphia Club did moi
feel it was able to carry any $4,000
salaried players on its payroll. As
for Killifer, he said that player has
Informed him last fall he would moi
play for the Philadelphia Club again
and that, it was necessary to get rio

Not his head"
"You are right, Reb Schmuel,"
yelled the crowd, "only not over his
head"
"Such brute, such murderer"
cried Rabbi Schmuel.
Lipka, the butcher, got rope
with a heavy knot and prepared to
lace it into Michael over his sides.
Halt, what are you doing,
brute? You will break his ribs"
"Over his feet, over his feet"
was heard from the bystanders.
"Such tyrant, such murder

nasal tones. "You Jew hater! :.
What are you doing? You will
cripple him, you will break his
legs!'' he cried beside himself with
anger as he saw one of the butchers
attempt to strike Michael over his
long legs and hands.
The crowd remained motionless,
the butchers frowned-their hands
itched so. They so wished to give
him a blow, hand him a good por-
ton of their rage.
"Untie him." ordered their rab-
bi. "Untie him, that murderer"
The people exchanged glances,
not understanding the meaning of
this command. But he was obey
ed. MichaePs feet were united. He
remained lying there, motionless,
like a log, until Berel took him by
his collar and stood him up.
"Untie his hands," further or
dered their rabbi.
Soon Michael stood completely
free, looked about him in astonish-
ment, scratched the back of his
head and moved his lips.
Rabbi Schmuel approached him
and took him to account.
"What have you done, you muir
derer, you BRUTE You could have
killed her, God forbid"
Michael gazed upon the Jew, and
his long beard and "payis" and
did not understand what the rabbi
wanted of him. What is he say
ing those mysterious words to him
for? Suddenly he grasped the
Jews hand and began kissing it.
'"Tu Moi Spasital (You are my
Saviour) 1 will be Vetchna Blag-
adaren( ever gratefully You are

Rabbi Schmuel tore his hand
away from him and hid it behind
his back. The crowd grew gay.

A Story by Alter Epstein.

herring in Hannah's store. He con-
tinued to pick-one was too small,
another too lean. With his broad,
big, black hands he rummaged
through the barrel, upsetting the
orderly arrangement of the her
ring
Hannah, small, thin woman,
with red, disheveled hair, stood be-
fore him, not for moment remov-
ing her gaze from him. aha, with
Michael one must be careful" she
thought. "He must be watched
carefully. You turn your head and
he shoves herring into his bos-
om." She became terribly wrought
up at Michael; he never buys; he
only comes to torture And, as she
was known to be very irritable
(the "kindlewood" she was called,
because at the least provocation
she was afame) she now tried her
utmost to control her temper.
"I'm telling you you cannot get
any better herring anywhere; these
are actually butter, not herring"
"Nie Dure (Stop your fooling),
Anka. Am I blind that l should
not see that these are splinters and
not herring?"
"You have not eaten such as long
as you live
"Aha, you want to fool Michael.
Where is your conscience? You
ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Give me that one with the milk"
"Don't shove your paws, you pig.
You upset the entire barrel. The
devil take you"
"You dirty Jew you have a
grievance yet. / patronize her,
and she complains, kicks about it
yet"
Michael, tall, heavy set man,
habitual drinker, stood pulled up,
threw the herring back to the bar
rel, and argued: "Such a vile
Jewess. One cannot pick decent
herring. They walk all over you." "
He wiped his hands, wet with the
herring sauce, on his cotton trous-
ers
"Will you abuse me again ?
Herev' Kissed Hannah, like ser
pent. She grabbed the herring by
the tail end, sprang at Michael and
zip, smashed it into his face,
screaming as though Michael had
struck her.
A crowd had in the meantime
gathered around the store. Michael
remained standing in a daze-lost,
feeling only the smart on his face

roundings, CRASHED his teeth,
growled like a wild animal, and
with all his strength he lowered his
raised hand square on Hannah's
cheek. Her face covered with
blood, she sank down upon the
floor.
Help, Jews, save her. He has
killed her." cried the crowd about
her. But none moved step.
Michael seemed to have realized
that he went too far, and made
dash for the door, scattering the
onlookers like feathers.
But the butcher boys, God bless
them, are always ready for just
such emergencies. They are the
champions of Israel.
Before Michael had run for fifty
feet he was in the hands of these
butcher boys. They held him
tightly by his collar and shook him
like leaf. They decided to have
him bound and send for Rabbi
Schmuel, the "Schochet."
Rabbi Schmuel, the "Schochet,"
was the most learned man Of the
town. The young element loved
him as dear life. In all troubles
they sought his advice. He was
considered somewhat of a "mod-
ern" by the young, although he
was very orthodox. He did not
keep himself aloof from the young
generation.
Upon the arrival of the rabbi the
crowd made a passageway to the
captive, and all strained their ears
to hear what their Rabbi Schrouel
would have to say.
At the least excitement the rab-
bi would begin to speak Hebrew
that was one of his habits
With his face turned upward,
hand and foot bound, Michael lay
on the ground. On his face one
could read the following words:
''Well, I'm in for it."
Upon seeing Michael the "Scho-
Chef" turned pale as ghost,
trembled and cried out in Hebrew:
''He must be slain, destroyed, no
mercy for himv'
"But what should we do with
him, Reb Schmuel?"
'Slain and destroyed, l say, that

Permission given, Nuchem the

way to the front. He rolled up his

to have been built by this same Angus
tine Washington. That mill was on
the banks of the Epsewasson creek.
The walls, which were laid in lime
stone, began to crumble back in the
sixties and the farmers in the vicinity
hauled away some of the stone.
This mill was in actual use for so
years by General Washington, and so
superior was the quality of the flour
he ground that it was admitted to Eng
lish markets without inspection.
The huge brick barn covered with
ivy one sees at Mount Vernon today
was built by Augustine Washington

climbed into the farm wagons just as
