nothing on the original Cincinnati
Red Stockings, back in 1869. Their
record that year was unapproachable.
The team toured the country from
Boston to San Francisco and never
lost a game. Sixty-nine games were
played before the team met defeat
at the hands of the "Atlantics" CT
Brooklyn in 1870.
On this famous tour of the Cincin-
natl team 1t is recorded that Harry
Wright the owner. made money and
thus was styled the first baseball
magnate.
The first. years salary roll Of the
Red Stockings" is still on record.
1t reads like this: Harry Wright,
center fielder, $1,000: George Wright.

player in the country $1.400; Asa
Brainard, pitcher. $1,100: Fred Wa

fielder, $500; CallsMcvey. right Held

$500.
In 1870 Cincinnati played disas-
trous series with the Chicago White
Sox. It was no Worlds Series-only
q two.game affair. but the two vic.
tories of the White Sox 80 disheart-
ened the Red Stockings that the fol-
lowing year the club disbanded. They
took defeat hard in those days. the
histories tell. But no one can blame
the Cincinnati players for being dis
couraged seeing that just a year be-
fore they had won So games without
a loss from teams in all parts Of the
United States. They just naturally
hated to lose.

MRS. JOSIE F. MERRIFIELD,
KENT'S HILL SEMINARY
LATIN TEACHER, DIES

kent's Hill, Me, Oct. Mrs. Josie
Fletcher Merrificld. head Of the Lat
in department of kent's Hill Semin-
AIRY, passed away Tuesday morning,
after very brief illness. Mrs. Mer-
rifield'S death came As distinct
shock to members Of the faculty and
the students of the seminary as she
was in the classroom organizing her
classes and very efficiently conduct
ing the class work in her favorate
subject only two weeks ago. Mrs.
Merrifield re-entered the teaching
field as an active teacher in answer
to the present very urgent demand
existing in the profession to which
she belongs. During the war she ac-
cepted a position in the high school
at New Sharon and last year she
very acceptably carried the princi-
| palship Of the high school at Chat
ham, Mass.
Mrs. Merrifield was born in Wis
casset, March 20. 1865, ner 1alher
then being an itinerant Methodist
minister Of the Maine Conference
Rev. Josiah Fletcher. New York
Sarah Taylor Fletcher. formerly of
Readfeld. After retiring from the
active ministry. her father located
In Readheld. where his children.
ellie Myrtle, Sadie Emma. Roull Tay-
Tor. Wilbert and Josie could enjoy
the excellent school advantages offer
ed by the presence of Kent's Hill
Seminary within its borders. All Of
the children attended the seminary,
Of which both parents were grad
yates. Mrs. Merrifleld, then Josie
Fletcher. was one Of three graduates
Of the college department in the class
Of 1887. Her classmates. Miss Viola
Collins Of Portland and Mrs Mil
dred Whittemore Shipley of Var
mouth survive her.
The deceased taught for four years
at Bernardstown, Mass, and four
years at st. Adams. VT. She was
married in 1895 to Fred Scott Merri-
field and three children were born to
them. Hazel Viola. now a teacher in
Harwich. Mass, in the high school;
Theodore Fred, a student at Boston
University and baby Raymond, lost
in Babyhood. The family came to
Kent's Hill nine years ago in order
that the children might have the ad-
vantages Of the seminary. of which
both are graduates. While here Mrs.
Merrifield conducted the elementary
department Of the school with much
success. She proved herself a most
welcome addition to the faculty and
through her wide acquaintance with
alumni of past years could assist in
keeping alive a keen alumni interest
in matters pertaining to the SCHOOL.
Her faith in God was sublime and
she never hesitated in carrying the
gospel message to her students in
the Sunday school hour whenever
asked to do SO. Many a Kent's Hill
student will remember her with a
spirit Of Thanksgiving for kindly
words spoken publicly and privaeIy
that have Influenced their lives. She
will be missed by a wide circle of
friends. She is survived by her hus-
band. her children, Theodore and
Hazel, and by a brother Wilbert and
sister. Nellie Myrtle Fletcher. Inter-
ment was at Bernardstown. Mass.

Lansing Assures
Americans Aid if
Victims i'm Mexico
Secretary of State Says the
Government Will Act if
Our Nationals Are Not
Given Protection

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Secretary
Lansing. in statement to-day de-
signed "to make clear the govern
ment's attitude on the question Of re-
sponsibility of Mexico for the safety
Of Americans in that country" de-
clared it was "the privilege as we'll
as the right of this government by
diplomatic intervention to see to 1t
that justice is accorded its citizens
and their rights given proper pro-
tection."
Mr.. Lansing explained that he issued
papers, in connection with the kidnap-
ing Of William o. Jenkins, American
consular agent at Puebla, had made it
appear that he had said chat Ameri-
cans in Mexico had no greater rights
to protection than Mexicans."
Says Mistake Was Made
"T regret" said Mr.. Lansing, chat
the context of my comments was not
given in full, because it would have
shown that l was referring to a condi-
tion in which the Mexican authorities
had employed every means which they
possessed or should have possessed to
protect the lives and property of aliens
in a community. If the authorities
failed to provide means of protection
or to use such means, the statement
attributed to me would not apply.
"To avoid being misunderstood as to
this governments Interpretation of the
rule of international law on the sub
ject Of responsibility on the part of
Mexico for the safety Of Americans in
that country, | make the following
statements:
Text Of Statement
"While in general there is pre-
sumed to be no difference between
the rights of aliens and the rights Of
natives to be treated fairly and just
ly under local laws and by the local
authorities, nevertheless should the
operation Of the local laws or the
acts of commission or omission by
local authorities result in injustice
to Americans or lack of adequate
protection of their lives or property,
it is the privilege as we'll as the
right Of this government, under in
tcrnational law, by diplomatic inter
vention to see to it that justice is
accorded to its citizens and their
rights given proper protection.
THE reason for this is that when
condition of political unrest and
lawlessncss exists, such as obtains in
certain parts of Mexico. aliens be-
ing denied proper protection by the
authorities must rely on their gov
ernmcnt operating through diplc-
matte channels to obtain justice and
security. This is a general state
mcnt and the basis of the policy fol-
flowed by this government, though it
