BOWDOIN'S FIRST BAT.
Interesting Relic in Trophy Room at
Brunswick.

Those who knew the late Chief
Justice l.. A. Emery of Ellsworth
will be interested to know that in his
younger days he was a famous base
ball player. being the pitcher of the
Bowdoin college team back in the
infancy of baseball.
Sixty-two years ago this month, a
Bowdoin college nine played it's first
game of baseball with a team outside
the college. The bat used in that
historic contest is in the trophy room
of the college gymnasium. If there
is anywhere baseball bat used
earlier than October 10, 1860, Bow
doin men would like to have it's own
ers produce it.
The game in question was not an
intercollegiate contest, for the oppo-
Anents of the Bowdoin nine were the
members of the Sunrise club of
Brunswick-theirn name coming from
their habit of practicing the national
game, then very much in it's infancy,
before breakfast. The college team
was composed wholly of members of
the class of 1861, then beginning
their senior year. The late Judge
Emery was the pitcher. There was
friendly rivalry between town and
gown, and the challenge for a game
came from the Sunrise club. The
game was played on the Topsham
fair grounds, Oct. 10, 1861 and
something of its exciting nature may
be judged from the score of 46 to AZ,
in favor of the Sunrise team.
The bat used was fashioned on the
morning of the game by John Fur
bish of the Sunrise team, long hard
ware dealer of Brunswick and the
father of Samuel B. Furbish, the
present treasurer of Bowdoin. The
bat was made of soft wood, probably
spruce, though it is difficult to deter
mine with the old bat so soiled with
usage it received that day and so
spruce bat in a game of to-day
with eighty-eight runs pounded out!
After the game, the eighteen play
ers, realizing that the contest opened
an era in the history of Maine ath-
letics, wrote their names in ink on
the bat, and it became a treasured
trophy in the possession of the win
ming team. Later it passed into the
possession of the Pejepscot Historical
Society of Brunswick, which later
turned it over to Bowdoin for its
trophy room. All the names written
on the bat sixtytwo years ago can
still be made out. The bat is about
the same shape as the bat Of to-day,
though a bit longer and of course
much lighter.

His Rheumatism
Has Entirely
Disappeared

The successful treatment of rheu-
matism by taking Tanlac is one of
the outstanding features of that re-
markable medicine. Thousands of
people everywhere have testified that
it has brought them complete relief
from this tortuous disease Mr.. S. S.
Graffam, of 229 Oxford St., Port
land, Me-, says:
II had rheumatism all over my
body, suffered terribly from indiges-
tion and my kidneys also bothered
me a great deal. l was in mighty
bad shape. l am in good health now,
however, for Tanlac drove away
every sign of rheumatism and indi-
gestion, my kidneys no longer worry
me, and I'm feeling great"
When the digestive system, liver
and kidneys are not working proper
ly, uric acid and other impurities ac-
cumulate in the muscles and joints,
causing rheumatism. Tanlac quick
ly overcomes this condition by en-
abling the vital organs to perform
their functions properly. Get a bot

THE INSECT PLAGUE.

The House Cat is the Real Pest on

CDR. Edith NJ. Patch Entomologist
Maine Experiment Station.)
The tradition has lasted from the
day Of Pharaoh's punishment to the
present time, that plague of insects
is the work of the Lord. There seem
to be two reasons for this idea. In
the first place, the natural causes
that lead to these disasters are not
generally understood In the Sec
Ond, there is the human tendency to
lay such burdens on shoulders broad
er than our own. However, it be-
hooves us honestly to examine the
record of our own deeds and to con-
slider whether we need look higher
than mans stature for the RESPONSE
BILE cause of even such Affections as
insect plaques.
There is no alibi. Ever since the
white man invaded this country, our
race has been busy meddling with the
balance of nature" Some of our
mischief has been unavoidable and
some of it has been. wanton. The
most serious mistake, so far as our

incredibly general slaughter of birds,
those native ertomologists who origi-
nally held the insect hordes in check.
The faster what remain of these
winged entomologists are killed off
(either by ourselves or by our feline
agents), the faster our bills for
sprays and spray machinery will in
crease.
A few years ago a man Of Maine
made frantic appeal for help from
the agricultural experiment station.
The entomologist went to see his
place. 1t was July. The trees in his
woodlot, in full leaf few weeks be-
fore, stood as naked as II it had been
January. This man boasted of being
owner Of twelve handsome cats; yet
the insect plague that visited his
trees seemed to him as mysteriousiy
unaccountable as a very miracle.
The generality that there is an in
evitable relation Universe as to ratio)
between the number of birds and the
number of insects applies as well to
corn and potato pests as to other in
sect dangers. Lack of cooperation
with birds, those most faithful and
efficient entomologists, brings to
those who sin against them a sure
punishment-unto the third and
fourth generation!

STAGGERING Distances.

In addition to discovering 1000
new nebulae, the Harvard astrono-
mers at the Arequipa, Peru, station,
have measured for the first time the
distance and size of the Large Magel-
lanic Cloud, cloudlike group of
stars and nebulae visible from the
southern hemisphere and resembling
the Milky Way.
This Magellanic Cloud. which is be-
lieved to be sort of small universe
in itself, separate from the Milky
Way system of stars of which our
own solar system is a comparatively
infinitesimal part, proves to be of
staggering dimensions. Its distance
from the earth, while not the great
est distance ever measured by
astronomers, is so great as to be al
most beyond human powers of COM
prehension, being 10000 light
years. A light year is 100000
100000 miles, the distance travelled
in a years time by light, which COW
ers $4,000 miles in a second.
Or to put the distance in figures,
easier (?) of comprehension, call it
six hundred and sixty quadrillion
miles or six hundred and sixty mil
lion millions.

COIOred Masonic Bodies Figure
on Site at Tenth and Kansas.
Deal for Renker Property May
Be Closed Late Today.

A large edifice to serve as home
and state headquarters of the negro
Masonic bodies of Kansas is the latest
prospect for the often mentioned ho-
tel site at the corner of Tenth and
Kansas avenues. That he will part
with his interest in the site fer that
purpose was admitted today by J. F.

has been holding the property as a
location for a hotel which has never
materialized.
the proposition several days ago and
that he informed representatives of
the negro society that they could have
the site provided they could raise
enough money to satisfy an option.
The money may be paid over and the
deal closed at a conference which is
to be held at his office this afternoon,
Renker says.
Il think that a negro Masonic home
on the corner OF Tenth and Kansas
avenue is just what Topeka and the
Chamber OF Commerce are entitled
to-, said Renker. Il have spent thou
sands of dollars trying to develop this
site for a hotel but everybody has
been against me and the colored folks
can have it if they want it. It's a
shame to lose the hotel chance but it
is a business proposition with me.
Il had a man in Topeka last week
with $250.000 which he was willing to
put into a hotel either at Ninth street
or Tenth avenue but the next day the
Chamber of Commerce directors got
together and refused to get back of
him because he was hostile to the
Seventh street proposition. So as far
as I am concerned the negroes can
have the Tenth avenue site as soon as
they produce enough money for an
option and l wouldn't be surprised IL
they turned over the money this aft
ernoon. They tell me every colored
man in the state will donate to the
proposition and help put it over
Renker said he did not have at hand
the names of the negroes who have
been to see him but said they were

are to see him this afternoon, he said.

but that any announcement at the
present time would be premature .

is thirty-five miles from Eminence
to Garden City-the nearest club
dances, soda fountains and real cleo
trio lights. So Mrs. White with an
ambition for little thrill-and per-
haps a desire to brig Eminence just
a wee bit nearer the big town stuff
held a dance in the public school
building.
Young Hopefuls Were Thrilled.
Maybe it was just to show the folks
that jazz isn't so wicked after all that
she permitted her own dance card to
be filled by the young men of the
community The dance was a great
success. Everyone said so. The young
hopefuls of Eminence were thrilled

as tho it might not be necessary to
drive away over to Garden City for

GAS RATECASEU Up
p. u. c. Would Compel Kansas
Natural to Submit Charges.
Arguments Being Made Before
Kansas Supreme Court.

Arguments were heard before the
damus application of the public utili-
ties commission to compel the Kansas
Natural Gas company to submit its
rate increases to the commission. The
application is being contested on the
holding of Judge Booth or the federal
court to the effect that the Kansas
Natural is engaged in interstate COM
n1erce and that contracts with distrib-
uting companies are not subject to
state review.
A. Z. Helm, representing the state
commission, admitted the interstate
commerce feature. He urged, tho,
that congress has not provided for
proper or adequate regulation in gas
cases and that the state commission
should control rate making.
Judge Carver Opposes 1t.
Robert H Carver. former Shawnee
county district judge and represent
ing the Kansas Natural, opposed is
suance' Of a writ. He argued that the
state courts could not control the fix
ing of rates at city gates since the
lahOma and mixed with gas from
Kansas wells.
The case involves jurisdiction of the
Kansas commission over the Kansas
Natural. That company does not sell
direct to consumers, but to diStribut-
ing companies. Recently it gave no
tice that rates at city gates in Kansas
would be increased from IS Gems TO
40 cents a thousand cubic feet.
