A BASEBALL CRiTlC.
News, Not“:- and Opinions. About: the
National Game.‘ , .
Here is the; voice of a base ball
critic, who wants to reach the ear of
the National league. Hie speaks di-
rectly to the league magnates thus:
“You got a long ways away from
the people last season? You seemed
to think the public cared about year
petty differences and your schemes of
making money. . You forgot all about
the grand. glorious game of baseball.
You watched the turnstiles like the
agent of a Ill-cent Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Company. Your first query after a
game hasn’t been the old-time eager
inquiry ‘What’s the score?’ The pub-
lic has begun wondering if the sport
itself is not a ,secondary considera-
tion and if—sin‘ce you take pains’to
advertise it so thoroughly—your over-
whelming desire is not to get hold of
their quarters and their halt-dollars.”
The “rowdy hall” Ibuga'boo will be
once more. held up to terrorize the
magnates. This in spite of the fact
that the Board of Discipline appoint-
ed at the St. Louis meeting last spring
did not “have a single case brought
;bpfore it during or after the sensor
pressed themselves as being in Inner
of abolishing the board. President
S‘oclen, of Boston, the dean of the
magna.tes,’fa‘v'ors it's'u'otentiou. He
thinks its eifect has been, salutorv.
Hanlon, of Baltimore. and Kerr, of
Pittsburg, are outspoken in their op-
position to the Board of Dis‘cipline or
any other outside tribunal for the reg-
, ulaitin of affairs which concern the
League alone. Both will strongly op
DOSe any increase in the powers; and
jurisdiction of :he present board.
The system in vogue up to last sca-
_. son, of fining the players, meets with
strong opposition. President Del-Inns
Robinson, of the Cleveland Club. who
once took a case to court of a 1i no im-
posed on one of his players by an um-
pire, says: “I will always fight the
proposition to have an incapable U.fl'
pire fine my players for objectingr to
his poor decisions. As the rule‘s now
stand the umpires have plenty of au-
thOrity to discipline the players, \Yllll‘
out taking money out 01' their puck-
ets."
It is believed that the failure of the
Cleveland club to yield profits in the
past five years has been directly due
to the policy of Frank Robinson, who
has taken no steps to suppress 'l‘e—
beau and' his ruffianly ball players.
The patrons of Cleveland have been
represented as being disgusted with
their team’s tactics, and the fact that
even when the team stood high in thr
race is taken to mean that the crank.q
of the Forest City have not been
shamming.
‘ A WELL—KNOWN ACTRESS.
' Mrs. Annie Yoamans Imlulges in Sum:
Reminiscences.
Mrs. Annie Yetmams. who has been
on the stage more than 50 years, and
is now 60 years old, contemplates
writing a volume of reminiscences.
She has had some interesting experi-
ences during her ‘long stage career.
“I was born in the Isle of Man,” she
says, “and am very proud of being a
Manx woman. My mother was Manx
too, {but my father was Welsh. They
emigrated to New-South Wales whenl
was a baby, and I did not leave Aus-
tralia until 1865. I married an Ameri-
can, a New Yorker, and I have lived
in the United States most of the tim:
since 1868, so long that I seem to be
long right here.”
Her father an actor, she was drilled
in stage work from her earliest youth.
At the age of 10 she went on at Syd~
ney. At 15 she joined a. circus, mar-
ried a circus man, worked summer in
the circus and winter in the Sydney
stock" company. Dialect being her
forte, especially the Irish, the Scotch.
the German and the Lancashire, she
was always in demand in the winter
season.
. gin with. circus manoeuvres were not
difficult for her. “I did everything,"
she said. “I rodein' the entree. That
was side—saddle, -When the horsesand
performers went through quadrille
and other difficult; things. I did ‘me-
nage’ worké—jumping fire, bar fences
and that. I did ‘principal’ work, jump-
ing through paper balloons and such
things. I had "‘character’ and ‘double’
acts, just the sort of things you see
at all circuses, only that I Was with-
Opt a specialty in the sense that I at-
tempted each one. .' We traveled. a
great deal. There was a lot of work
to do, and after a time! ~toted my ba-
bies along with the rest of the para-
phernalia. But somehow it never
seemed very hard. ‘
After settling in the United States
in 1868, Mrs. Yeaman's sent for her
father and her mother. with ,whom she
had left her two eldest children in
Australia. They came to‘New York
and settled there, 4a. family of stage-
‘ folk, save the Manx mother. “Though.
she, dear old darling! was just as in-'
tomoted in plays and players as any-
one could he.” says this 60-year-ol
daughter, dutifully. ' ‘ '
Since'then the mother and grand-
mother has died, aged 87. so that long-
evity runs in the family. Mrs; Yeamans
has also lost her husband, her father
and her second daughter, Emily. “I
halve laid them a! away; tillers are
just Jennie and I.” says the clever om
actress, and tears come behind the
‘. spectacles. while thc‘flrm old mouth
' growslboo tremalous for speech.

Guard the Children’s Ear.
A high English medical authority,
Sir William Dalby, has recently writ-
ten a treatise on the preservation “of
thehearing, in which he speaks, with
strongest terms of reprobation, of the
“cruel and iniquitous practice of box
ing children’s ears.” . . ~
Blows on the head‘bf any sort are
apt to be permanently injurious, and
anyone who has studied physiology,
however superficially, will readily un4
derstand how easily a violent box on
the ear may rupture the ear drum
and perhaps produce incurable deaf-
ness. There are many 'suchcases on
record, and parents who do not under-
stand the danger of such chastisement
will de well to take heed and avoid it.
It is more startling to be told that
a drop of laudanum put intothe ear
to relieve earache may produce per-
manent trouble, nevertheless it. is so.
Nothing of any sort should be inject-
ed into the ear except by medical ad-
vice. It' Iaudanum and glycerine are
used they should be put on a'bit of cot-
ton wool, and care should be‘ taken
not to put the cotton in too far. The
beSt aurists positively forbid syring-
ing, the ears, and where it is necessary
to cleanse them prescribe surgical cot-
ton twisted on the end of a wire, the
wire being carefully covered and the
cotton projecting for "an inch beyond
it. Even then the cotton must be care-
fully and tenderly applied.
'In case of earache the only safe
home remedy .is a hot water bag, or
better yet, a roasted onion, very hot,
done up first-in newspaper and then in
flannel and applied on the outside over
the ear.
In bathing, especially in the surf,
cotton wool should be put into the
ears, otherwise a sudden and violent
influx of water may do serious harm.
~Chicago Times-Herald.
Styles In ‘Coats and Capes.
There are many radical changes in
the season's capes and coats. The
cape comes in for first consideration,
since it is the style of wrap pre-
eminently suited to cold weather.
Women who are stout and short of
stature will undoubtedly feel a pang
when they. learn that the short, chic
cape is a thing of the past. Even the
dressy little wraps designed for im-
mediate use are either long in the
back or long in front.
Papur Bags for Travelers.
Comfort in travelling is an impor-
tant consideration, and the newest
idea fol; a journey is one worth re-
garding. Dodging railroad Cinders
and dust is something not to thought
of. When a thoroughly clean rail-
road trip is possible the millennium
will have arrived, and this period is
still, according to all beliefs, :1 long
distance off. But, owing to a simple
thought of a practical man, the trav-
eller can now protect his or her but,
which was out otthe question before.
A humble paper bag, obtained from
the nearest. grocer, is the god of the
machine. This-is folded compactly and
stowed away in the \pocket (in the
hand bag or purse if the traveller is .:.
a woman and is pocketiess). Before
the cars start the bag is opened, the
hat placed "therein, the bag. pinned
across its mouth and the whole laid
in the Nick. Thereafter, until the des-
tination is all but reached, the travel-
ler need have no thought of his head-
gear, for no dust or cinders can reach
. It. It will be found in the best of con-
dition upon opening: So simple is this
device that it is a wonder it was never
thought of before—New York Herald. .

are aristocrats and scorn manual lav

nual report to the Interior Depart,
ment. 'Ilhey own over 800 acres of
land for each man, woman and child,
each receiving an annuity of over $203

As an illustration, if an Indian and
his Wife have eight children, the an-
nual cash income of the family is
over $23000. Rather leading his white
brother in this respect, he prefers the

It Does Not Make Fat.
It is now a well known fact generally con—
ceded by doctors and chemists that fat taken
into the stomach does not create fat.
Mr. Edward T. Vance, of Ansonia, Conn.,
speaking of this subject, and in connection
with the superiority of Vinol over all greasy,
obnoxious forms of ' cod liver oil, says :—
“ Having investigated Vinol thoroughly,
I the one great point that strikes me as making
it invaluable is the fact you have succeeded
entirely in eliminating the useless fat or
grease from what has always been a valuable‘
You have retained the curative
principles of the cod's liver, and that, too, in
a highly concentrated form. ,We all know
that fat taken into the stomach does not make
fat. Therefore Vinol will prove to be more
eflicient than cod liver oil has ever been in any
other form.”
V'nol has just the right properties to enable
the stomach to obtain from everyday food
the proper elements to create new flesh tissue
.nd pure, rich blood, and so it has become the
greatest. factor known to science for the cure
of consumption and other wasting diseases.
Yours very'truly, -
Special Vinol representative.
