HAS THE LARGEST DIPPER Henry Clews, a New York banker, told a big Chautauqua crowd the other day that the way to check violations of law by the trusts and other corporations was to send the guilty officials to prison. He said that fining a corporation was a useless procedure. He also declared in favor of complete publicity in corporation affairs. When he had given utterance to these popular sentiments, Mr. Clews, who handles stocks in Wall street, proceeded to cast an anchor to windward. He said that there may have been overcapitalization in the past, but that properties had so increased in value recently that “there is comparatively little difference between Intrinsic and market values.” In other words, Mr. Clews wants the public to understand that it need not be afraid of Wall street. “I agree with you that the wicked should be punished,” says Mr. Clews, “but come along with your money. Wall street has turned water into wine and is prepared to dip it out to you for your cash.” And do not forget that the amiable Mr. Clews handles one of the largest dippers. Again rises the rumor that Attor-ney-General Bonaparte is soon to retire from the cabinet and again somes the denial by Mr. Bonaparte that he is not to do anything of the sort. Looks a lot as though psycho-suggestive game were being worked against the Btltimore man. This thought transference business ought to be regulated by law.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Colonel Copn, of Elkhart, announces that he is not, as some newspapers have stated, a candidate for the democratic gubernatorial nomination or any other political favor. Colonel Conn would rather enjoy the privilege of expressing his opinions without fear or favor, a thing men cannot do when they go into politics.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

A number of local sports went to Fort Wayne last evening, where they attended the athletic tournament given under the auspices of the Summit City Athletic club. The entertainment was excellent with the exception of the main go, which was between Gardner and Fitzpatrick, the latter being entirely out of his class and was put out in the second round. The fiercest fight of the evening was between Kid Goodman of Boston, and Tug Wilson, of Indianapolis, the former winning in four rounds. Young Mason, of Fort Wayne, also scored a clean knockout on Kid Mitchell, of the same place. A large crowd was present. The Decatur chapter of Royal lodge of Masons will meet tomorrow night at the hall at 7.30 o'clock. 213-2 t

The game was close and exciting throughout and centerfielder Johnson, of Decatur proved to be the hero by batting out a home run in the ninth inning after one man was out and with two men on bases. This feature alone would have won the game as Engle was practically invincible with men on bases. The teams play again tomorrow morning. The score: Decatur ..02000000 3 —5 8 0 Portland ..0 0000020 o—2 5 2 Engle and Quinn; Wagner and Harmes. o Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 1, 1907. We arrived at Kokomo at 12:50. Took the hack to the hotel Linden. We were served very nicely At 2 p. m. we donned the suits of gray and started to amusement park. The heavens began to darken. So they started the game a few minutes earlier. Lacey started on the slab for Kokomo and retired the Champs in order. Engle started for us but things broke bad and they netted three runs. Way took his place. The game went smoothly until the last of the fourth inning and the rain beat the ground into a sea of mud. The fourth inning we did play it was so dark we could not see the ball. Os course the game was not lost for Mose Crone met us at Marion large as ever. Mose came near not getting on as the train had on too much tonnage. Hoping the world is with us we will stick and try and win two tomorrow. All the boys are all right except Engle and Johnson and they seem to be restless and wishing they were at Decatur tonight. I remain the town torment, Humpty. Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 2.—Kokomo won a double header here today defeating the Decatur ball team by scores of 6 to 5. and 8 to 3. In the morning game the locals were forced to fight eleven innings before the game was decided, the visitors tying the score in the eighth. The winning run was scored when Shinn, the first man up for Kokomo made a hit. stole second and third scoring on a safety by Zellar the second man up.

Ind., Sept. 2—Richmond lost both games to Bluffton today, not being able to score in either contest. Rain delayed the afternoon game. Richmond could do nothing with Guhl's delivery, securing but three hits, while Horn was touched up for a total of

ten. In the morning game a badly shifted lineup put Richmond at a disadvantage and there was also inability to find Hull successfully.

Manager L. A. Holthouse called up President Kling last evening to ascertain if the games played yesterday counted in the standing, his understanding being at the last meeting that they did not. Kling, however, informed him the games would stand and we are forced to submit to the inevitable. It is possible that after Kling ascertains that Richmond lost he will again change his mind as Jessup can pull the wool over his eyes in a very easy manner. As the league now stands we are in third place. Jessup, with all the charges of rowdyism against him, made local fans take notice of his generalship during the series just closed. Jessup is far from being a star backstop, but he has a “noodle” and knows when to use it to the greatest advantage.— Van Wert Bulletin. In describing his troubles to President Kling, Gardner stated that there were two or three bullies on the Bluff, ton team and that he would not stand for them “making passes” at him or calling him vile names. “If you don t like what I did. I’ll blow my job. I'd rather play ball than umpire anyhow,” said Scrappy Frank. Not one of the fans who saw the game blames him for his action. —Richmond Palladium. The team returns from the east end of the league circuit with two new’ players in |he make up. Manager Morris has purchased the release of Eddie Stewart, the crack short stop and heavy hitter. Mr. Zellar will cover second base and Dan Kik of Grand Rapids will take charge of third base, while the outfield will be looked after by Shinn, Hall and Gillis. Spicer will cover first and Orr will be the receiving end of the battery. —Kokomo Tribune. “A lot of bush newspapers in the I. O. league circuit have been knocking Clarence Jessup,” said Manager Frank Runyan of the Bluffton team, Sunday evening, during a fanning match at the hotel. “Let me state right here that Jessup is not only a fast aggressive ball player, but he is a splendid field general and a square feilow’ to deal with as well. It is a relief to do and talk business with Jessup after having come in contact with the other managers in the league, particularly Frank Morris of the Kokomo team.” —Richmond Palladium. Scrappy Frank Gardner has j “blowed” the umpire job and has signed to play the outfield with the Richmond base ball team. Gardner is said to be as good a player as he is an umpire, which speaks well for his ability at the national pastime. One thing is cetrain, he will be an aggressive play, er. Gardner palyed right field in the two games today. Britten, the Cincinnati outfielder, has been returned home. —Richmond Palladium. Manager Frank Runyan, of the Bluff-1 ton team, saw his team bow the knee to the league leaders Sunday after making a gallant fight. “I'll have no kick coming as long as the boy’s lose that kind of a game,” was Runyan’s philosophical remark after the game. Bluffton nearly all season has been losing by one run. It is a good outfit playing in hard luck. To our minds the Bluffton pitching staff is the best in the league. What the team needs is just one or two pinch hitters that can bring in the runs when men are on bases. Sunday Bluffton had twelve men left on the bags. Saturday, with three men on the bases and no outs, not a Bluffton player could drive one of these runners across the plate.— Richmond Palladium.

The Richmond Palladium says: The Van Wert management should be given a severe dose of discipline for its action in playing Stewart, Thursday, This makes the second time that the manager of the Van Wert team has violated the league agreement concerning players, which reads that the manager of one team shall not tamper with the players of other teams or use a player under suspension or black listed. Van 'Wert’s first offense was playing Wentz, a pitcher claimed by Richmond and who President Kling ruled was the property of the local club. There is not the slightest doubt that President Kling will sustain the protest made by Richmond Thursday. Bluffton will be here tomorrow for a series of two games, at the Washington street park. Bluffton, under

the leadership of Laßue, is playing a much improved game. They are to say the least a lot of scrappy players, who are never beat until the ninth inning has passed into history. Van Wert Bulletin. After waiting patiently for several weeks, the Fort Wayne Shamrocks, who have been claiming the independent championship, the Central league championship and the 1.-O. championship, and who have been so conceited as to compare their team with the American league and association, were on yesterday given the most severe drubbing they have received in years by the Van Wert team. The first game was an eleven-inning affair and was won by the Buckeyes by a score of 6 to 3, while the second was also won by the Buckeyes but by a score of 21 to 0. In this game the Shamrocks demonstrated just what kind of a chance they would have in the 1.-O. league. Guess their chesty press agent will go way back and sit down for awhile at least or until they get a reputation as a ball team. The last game was so one sided that even Umpire Connell had no chance to show his skill as a handler of the indicator in pinches. Findlay Nash, who formerly played the outfield for the locals, but who for the last several weeks has been located at Garrett, had the misfortune last Saturday of having a finger on his right hand broken while playing ball. Nash had signed with Dubuque and was getting in shape to go to that place yesterday. The injury will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season. GIVEN FAREWELL (Continued from Page 1.) tertained last evening at a small impromptu affair at her home on Mercer avenue the following young people: Misses Beulah Cownit, of Fort Wayne, and Perle D. Burdg. Messrs. Fred Nall, of Logan, Ohio, F. L. Litterer, Carl Moses. A surprise of last evening which was a success in every way was when the classmates of Miss Velma Daniels gathered at her parents’ home. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Daniels, at Preble, to bid her farewell, as she left this morning for Marion to finish her course at college. Games of all sorts and descriptions were played during the evening, and a luncheon w’as served the guests who were: Misses Bessie Juanita and Cleo Henry, Hannah and Sophia Jaebke, Ella Meyers, Glen Crays, Celia Steele, Mabel Welty, Messrs. Jay Allen, James Zimmerman. Bruce and Allie Henry, Frank Mann, Earl Steele, Mr. and Mrs. Henry. Mrs. Howard Burdg will be hostess at a six o’clock dinner Friday evening given in honor of a few friends.

The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will be entertained by Mrs. C. J. Lutz at her home on Brook Side Farm, situated south of the city, Thursday afternoon at three o’clock. The ladies are cordially invited to be at the church and then they will be taken out in a carriage by the hostess. Look to the Outside Only. The natives of China take to motoring very kindly, but their chief interest is centered in the decorations and color of the body of the car rather than In the ability or workmanship of the engine. It Was a Nugget. Workmen were digging a drain near the city hall of Bendigo, South Africa, when the pick of one of them rebounded after having struck something hard. “That must be a nugget," remarked a jocular bystander. “I’ll look," said the workman, and the next moment he had a lump of quarts thickly studded with gold in his bands. Women Estimated by Weight The natives of the Sandwich islands estimate women by their weight. The Chinese require them to have deformed feet and black teeth. A girl must be tattooed sky-blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy a South Sea islander. Certain African princes require their brides to have their teeth filed into the semblance of a saw. Prevalence of Suicides. The Clvillta Catholica draws a distressing and melancholy picture of the suicide epidemic in Europe. Within the last 30 years not less than a million suicides have been committed in Europe, and in this total Germany alone figures with 300,000.. Good from an Evil. In Australia, where the rabbit is a pest, there is an annual “round-up," at which millions of the animals are slaughtered. The rabbits are utilized for their fur and meat, much of which is exported. During the year over 20,000,000 rabbits were sent to other countries frozen in the fur or in the tarn of canned moat

In connection with the engagement of Howard P. Taylor’s latest success “A Break for Liberty," founded on the notorious Biddle Brothers’ case, to be seen here next Tuesday Sept. 3. it is hardly necessary to more than announce its appearance, as the story of the play has attracted such worldwide reputation. The first act opens with a pawnshop, which is the headquarters of a gang of thieves headed by a detective, who uses his office to shield his rascality. The Biddle boys are brought in and become members of the gang and later attempt to rob an old man who keeps a grocery store, and while trying to break into his safe they are discovered and during their struggle the leader happens to come along and hearing the noise shoots the grocer and immediately accuses the Biddle Brothers of the murder, and although innocent they are tried, convicted and sentenced to die. Ed, however, who has strong hypnotic power, makes the wife of the warden think that he loves her and thus induces her to furnish revolvers and other means of escape. After they escape they are overtaken and a desperate fight ensues, in which the boys are mortally wounded and are taken back to prison to die. Ed. however, gets hold of a revolver and awaits a chance to avenge himself and brother, which comes by the supposed detective passing through the prison, where he meets death at Ed's hands, who after shooting dies contented. This ends one of the greatest melodramas ever written. Special scenery is carried for every act and an unusually strong company has been secured by the management. At the Bosse Opera House.
