cHRIsTY ON WAY TO RECOVERY

me that question this evening that
/ phoned Mr.. Mathewson a short
time ago and asked him II I might
make a public announcement OF his
condition, and he consented.
Matty Is Getting Well
"Mathewson is on the road 20 a
permanent recovery. II may take
several years before he can venture
away from Saranac for any great
length Of time. II will also be necs-
sary that he spend part OF each year
in the Adirondack mountains.
"Matty has been at deaths door
three or four timeg Twice I have
despaired OF his recovery.
II am told there never was a
gamer pitcher than Matty. From
personal observation can believe
that statement.
1T was in the pinch that he
fought hardest for his life. He sim
ply refused TO think that he was
about to die. His great courage
more than anything else won the
fight.
"Mathewson weighs 100 pounds
today, which was his weight when
in the best OF pitching condition. He
| looks as well as he ever aid, but. OF
/ course. lacks the old-time strength
After a consultation OF doctors
we collapsed the right lung. Thai
Is not uncommon, however, and one
can get along just as we'll with one
/ lung.
IN all probability Matty will b
able 20 pay the Polo Grounds a visi
some time during the summer for 4
short stay. I know that Is one am
bltion he cherishes"
DR.. Packard's statement OF Math
ewson's real condition was very in
teresting 10 me. I am sure II vii
prove the same 20 every fan tina
ever read a box score.

How is Christy Mathewson getting
along?
That question Is put to me more
often than any other one relating
10 baseball.
There never was greater base
ball idol than Christy Mathewson.
He Is beloved by fans the country
over.
Now that Matty Is making a stern
fight against the great white plague
at saranac Lake every bit OF news
relative TO his condition Is OF much
interest.
From time 20 time the wires have
carried various bits OF news about
his progress. One would say that he
was gradually recovering his health.
A few weeks later another report
would have him sinking rapidly.

Welcome Not OYerdone for Wales Young Royalty

Rangoon, Feb. 1.-The attitude of the people toward the Prince ot Wales was indicated on his arrival here today. The prince was given the customary show of welcome, without any attempt being made at violence. Yet the stands erected to seat the crowds were not nearly filled. A large per cent of the people who turned out to greet the prince were children from government schools and govern ment aided mission schools who were required to be present.
 The national or native schools gave their quarterly examinations today, for the expressed purpose of prevent ing the students from greeting the prince. In the stand where the Asso- 1iated Press correspondent was sta tiored, very few Of the people rose from their seats or gave any form Of deferential greeting as the prince passed by
 Personal inquiry showed that in the bazaar district q strict hartal (boy- cott was being observed. Practically all the Burmese and Indian shops were closed. in silent protest of the princes visit. Most of the Chinese places remained open. Very few gharries (carriages,) except private ones. were seen in the streets
 The prince came here by the steam CT Dufferin from Calcutta, where he had been since December "A While there he received the honorary de- gree of doctor of laws from Calcutta university and dedicated the Victoria memorial, the cornerstone of which had been laid by his father har- tai was observed when the prince ar rived in Calcutta.

CENTER-A most delightful day
was spent by the Woman's Mission
, airy Study class on Wednesday, when
it was entertained at the home of
Mrs. Hannah j. Bailey. with Mrs.
Bailey. Mrs. Camp and Miss Clough
as hostesscs. The ladies began to
! arrive about 1890 and soon the liv-
| ing room was filled with class mem
| bers busily sewing and happily chat
! ting together At luncheon time the
f, dining room doors were opened and a
scene BETTING the Halloween season
( greeted the eye. Two Halloween
spirits adorned with orange and
| black paper aprons and black
and orange caps invited the company
to enter. These spirits were recog-
Missed as Mrs. Camp and Miss Clough.
All the length of the long room ran
! the dining table, its artistic decora-
tons Of woodsy ferns and moss con-
trasting pleasantly with the snowy
white of the table cloth. The plat
tiers of cold meat and dishes Of hot
mashed potato looked very inviting
placed within a circle of green form
cd of fern leaves. Mounds of Grim
son jelly here and there gave a touch
of color to the whole. Above the cen
ter of the table hung the electric
chandelier gayly dressed for the &C.
casion. At one end great black cat
presided while at the other was a
lat with wings outstretched, and be-
tween them were magic jack o'lan-
terms, all tokens of Halloween and
and just beneath all this hung a rod
decorated with what looked very
much like bright yellow leaves Of au-
tumn. Altogether the room was a
pretty sight.
Seated at the head of the table Mrs
Bailey asked the blessing and
