While the meetings have not been

sary it easily will be possible to bring
together magnatcs of the two major
leagues. 1t seems this will be done: as
the two major leagues have decisions
to make that for the good of each
might best be made in concert.
Admission Charge at Issue
There will be many and conflicting
opinions on the admission charge to
be made in the American and National
leagues this season. 1t is understood
some of the magnates are in favor of
general advance, others q decrease,
while still others would maintain the
ptces OF the immediate past, plus the
exact government war tax of 10 per
cent.
Those who are opposed to the last
mentioned idea believe that the hand
ling of so many pennies at the ticket
booths will result in confusion which
will be unfavorable to baseball. Others
dispute this. Colonel Ebbets, shrewd
observer, Is among the magnates who
believe there should be neither a
price advance nor decrease this season.
II am for the same old SCALE" he
said yesterday. 81 do not think this
IS time to juggle with baseball ad-
missions. The past has proved we
have reached an equitable adjustment,
and am in favor Of retaining it.
That would mean there would be
three-cent tax on 35-cent ticket, five
cents on a 5o-cent ticket, eight cents
on 75-cent ticket, 10 cents on 81
ticket and Is cents on a Sl.50 tcket.
The pennies should cause no great con-
fusion. There can be machines In
stalled, if necessary, that will handle
change rapidly. We are planning somc-
thing of that sort at Ebbets Field"
It is certain other magnates will ed-
vocate fiat price, the club suffering

T Must Be Realized Before
II Conflict Ends.

Ishington, January S-America's
S in a world at war were outlined
day by President Wilson.
To clarity before the fighting pow
)ers this country's detectives in con-
tinuing the bloody strife, the presi-
dent asked a joint session of Congress
for 1890 and delivered his message
in person.
The decision of the president to fol-
low Lloyd George in setting forth
terms of peace took Washington COM
pletely by surprise. No one-not even
those closest in his confidence-was
aware of his intention
The president addressed the entire
world in delivering his speech before
Congress. The address was transmit
ted by cable by the government to
every civilized country.
The president arrived at the Capt.
toll, and for the second time within
week was escorted to the Home ros-
trum.
This time, however there was tense
expectancy in the chamber. There
was nothing Of the quiet that awaited
the presidents business message last
Friday.

cry MISSION REPORT
Made by Miss Hughes superlnten-
ont Showing the Work That Has
Boon Accomplished During
Past Month.

The usual social and religious ac-
tivities were held, consisting OF Sun
day school every Sunday afternoon
with Mr.. James Dawson, superlntend-
ent; Mrs. c. l.. Wood, Miss Hurd and
Miss Tully, teachers; and services
held every Tuesday evening by the
pastors OF the churches Of the city.
Each Monday meeting for the girls
was held with music, games and re-
freshments, and on Friday evening
similar meeting was held for the boys
Mr.. Wadsworth Clarke gave very
interesting and helpful talk to the
boys at one Of the meetings. II is
the plan of the superintendent to have
some one speak to the boys and girls
once month, also to start course in
hygiene and sanitation, with the help
Of Miss Nevin, the visiting nurse.
Sewing school was held each Sat.
urday afternoon with Mrs. Geisel,
Mrs. Richardson and Miss Pecor, the
teachers in charge, and the kinder
garten for the small children by Miss
Wood and Mrs. Mefford. Sunday be-
fore Christmas a program and treat
was given to the Sunday school, and
on Christmas Day fifty baskets Of food
and thirty packages of clothing were
sent out from the mission.
During the month ninety calls were
made at the Office Of the mission for
help, of which eight were new cases.
In answer to these calls coal was
given times, groceries 20 times and
clothing 80 times; 1874 garments, Z
pieces of bed clothing and II pairs of
shoes were given out. The supply Of
old clothing is completely exhausted
now, and any one having any warm
garments which they do not need can
greatly help the work by sending
them to the mission at once. OF the
calls made for help, were caused
by old age, % by sickness and "a by
insufficient income. With the excep-
ton of one order to each of three-wo
men who live alone and were temper
arily out of work, no groceries were
given unless there was sickness in
the home Many people believe that
those applying for help at the mission
are merely lazy and shiftless, prefer
ring to ask help rather than work.
Such, however, is not often the case.
Most of them, even though they work
steadily, are mentally and physically
unable to earn living wage for
large family with the present high
cost of necessities. The number who
work, though really not able to, are
a vast majority over those able to
work, hut who refuse to do so.

l would greatly desire to give a list
of the memberships secured by indi-
vidual workers, but there have been
so many who have contributed their
services and many whose assistance
has never come to our attention, and
we are, therefore, compelled to fore
go this pleasure. The success of the
campaign, coming as it did during n
week of inclement weather, tobacco
sales and Christmas business, is en-
tirely attributable to unflagging zeal
and fidelity with which the precinct
and ward organizations have worked.
Scores of our ladies have given their
entire time to this work, and have
once again demonstrated the active
patriotism of our community which
has been put to the test with convinc-
ing success in every instance. This
work has been done without the in
SEPARATION of mass meetings, rallies

and this fact speaks all the louder for
the unselflsh and sincere eagerness
of our people to be of active service
to the nation.

SoRcERERS BURNED AT STAKE
Custom of an Early Age When Thou
sands of Unfortunate Students
Were Put to Death.

Alchemists often believed that by
deep thought they could find way to
turn base metals into gold but al
chemy itself was much deeper and
broader than this, according to a writ
er. 1t was supposed at this time that
there were seven heavenly bodies
the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus.
Jupiter and Saturn-and seven metals
gold, silver, iron, mercury, copper,
tin and lead There were also seven
days in a week and seven colors in
rainbow. There were twelve signs in
the zodiac, twelve months in the year,
twelve precious stones, and twelve
parts to the body. 1t seemed to the
alchemists that there must be some
hidden connection between these
things of nature, and in trying to find
1t they spent much time in watching
the sky and in bending over their
crucibles and retOrts.
During an age when superstition
was rife such nocturnal activities
could not fail to arouse suspicion, and
to be accused Of being a sorcerer was
generally followed by burning at the
stake. Many thousands of such I'M
fortunate students were put to death
during these dark centuries, but in
spite OF the dangers men secretly
studied alchemy.

of the public library. For convenience,

groups-historical, personal MARIA

these, perhaps, the personal narratives
are the most widely read and furnish
the largest satisfaction; for the fact
that the writer has actually been
