Bohemian set in New York. His friends
and publisher become Disguised with
his shallow life and refuse to finance
him further until he promises to
leave the city.
He finally consents to rest up on
dilapidated estate in Virginia; and
here the hero is given an opportunity
to see the struggles of Eugene Ward
arnan doris Pawn, an ambitious,
but untalented authoress, for recog-
milton. The family is in sad financial
straits and Virginia hopes to do her
bit with her typewriter. The man has
genius but is too lazy to work hard,
but when his deepest sympathies are
touched. his entire life is reconstructed

way out of their difficulties. How
they do it furnishes the conflict in

INTO FLORIDAS CAPITAL CITY.

Tallahassee, March 3O-At a meet
ing of representative citizens held last
Friday afternoon at the court house
the proposal to have a baseball team
in Tallahassee during the present sea-
son was discussed. AT the request of
Mayor Guyte p. McCord who had
called the meeting, Mr.. Irwin Gates,
president of the chamber of commerce
was asked TO preside.
During the course of the discussion
the difficulty of supporting a baseball
team without having definite assur-
ances of regular games. was advanced.
and for this reason it was thought
best to look into the advisability of
having Tallahassee join the Dixie
league made up of towns in South
Georgia and North Florida, or to agi-
tate the formation Of q league in this
Immediate territory.
1t was decided to request representa-
tives of Tallahassee to attend the or
ganization meeting of the Dixie league
in Triton, Ga, on Monday, March %.
to look into the advisability of join
ing that league, and to get all light
possible on the formation of a league.
the proceedings to be followed, ETC., in
order that they might be in position
TO report later the most advantageous
plan for this city.
Upon motion unanimously adopted,
President Gates was authorized to APP
point committee from the chamber
of commerce as a steering committee
for baseball in Tallahassee during the
present committee, and the following
such authority was appointed: ]. 3.
Clemens. Francis B. Winthrop. George

The enthusiasm manifested at the
meeting indicates that the citizens are
heartily in favor of having baseball
