What S In a Name
VERA
(Copyright)

VERA
There are comparatively few Rus
sian names in vogue in this country.
Vera is the exception to the general
rule which excludes such popular
Slavic appellatives as Tatiana and
Nastasia. Vera, indeed, is not purely
Russian since it appears in Spanish
nomenclature, but in both languages,
it bears the same significance: that
of faith.
1t is one of the twelve Slavic names
which appears in the Monument of
Faith sort Of devotional prayer
book applied to each day of the year
with the names of each saint appear
ing in the Russian calendar For that
reason Vera has always been excep-
tionally popular as Russian feminine
name.
1t is doubtful, however. If her deri-
walton is responsible for her vogue
here. Possibly she is the result Of the
early Spanish influence in the Ameri.
can colonies, or again, 1t may be that
the shortness and euphony of the
name is the explanation for its adop.
tion and practical AUGMENTATION.
Amber is Vera's talismanic stone
1t has power to make her invincible
in all undertakings where bodily and
mental health are required. 1t is said
to ward off disease and to insure a
safe journey when worn by a traveller
Monday is Vera's lucky day and her

Umpire Quigley and Neale Of
Cincinnati Figured.

The Philadclphia-Cin game In
the Quaker City yesterday closed with a

players and Umpire Ernest Quigley and
the attack nearly closed with a tragedy.
The police were unable to guell the dis
turbance and battle royal ragged over
the field for nearly an hour.
A double steal in the eighth inning was
responsible for the trouble. Fletcher, who
was in the play, kicked so strenuously that
he WAS put out of the game and this made
matters worse. Umpire Quigley and Neale
the Cincinnati right fielder, were the
center of the attack and, after much dif-
ficulty, they were able to escape. Several
persons sustained minor injuries but there
were no serious injuries reported.
The game between the Phillies and Reds
was bitterly fought and resulted in 5-3
victory for the Reds, evening the series
Cy Williams made a homer. Mamaux
held the Pirates in the pinches and Brock
lyn won. 6-2. The Cards defeated the
Braves, "a. The Giants were better
than the Cubs and broke Vaughn's WIN
ming streak, taking the game, 81.
In the American League there was but
one game scheduled and Detroit defeated
