ECCENTRIC PITCHER WAS HERE SUNDAY

Waddell Accompanied Joe CantiUon and Wife on Auto - Trip Through Rensselaer. ___ Hey Rube. There have been a number of “Rubes” in baseball. The uncut grass and the oats stubble field have contributed a number of prominent diamond stats to the great national game through the medium of the bush league. But there is one rube who outrubes them all and that is none other than the famous “Rube” Wad-

dell, who became a sensation in baseball about ten years ago. For a long time he played with the winning Athletics and for three or four years was reckoned the greatest pitcher in the- business except for his decidedly eccentric ways. . Sometimes he did not want to pitch and no coaxing would get him to do it He would go fishing the day it was his turn and when some of the hardest work on the diamond was to be .done. “Rube” was a great “kidder” in a pronouncedly rube manner and no one could ever tell what kind of a stunt he was going to pull off. He woul carry a miniature flag in his pocket and after striking out some strong batter would get the flag out and wave it over his head. He would use the flag also after making a long hit himself. Early in the game Rube learned to drink highballs and he proved very conclusively that whisky and successful ball playing are not synonymous. The more whisky he drank the poorer pitcher he was and while some of the old ball players were holding out year 1 after year Rube was drinking up his athletic vitality. He went backward when he should have been in his prime. Connie Mack released him in .St. Louis and he was sent from there to Minneapolis, where Joe Cantillon, manager of the Minneapolis team, has been having very good success with him. He has won a good per cent of his games this year, because he has kept sober and played baseball, not highbalj.

Last Sunday Rube and his manager, Joe Cantillon, and wife, and Bob Taylor, another pitcher, arrived in Rensselaer at about noon by auto and were at the Makeever house for dinner. They were on their way from Minneapolis to Mr. Cantillon’s farm in Kentucky, where Rube will spend the winter away from the temptations of city life. It is believed he still has enough ability to make good if he will pass up the bar stock. He is a powerful fellow and has filled out considerably from his lanky appearance of ten years ago.

NEW TRIAL DENIED BY SPECIAL JUDGE

John W. Hanan Came From Lagrange to Rule on Motion by Iroquois 1 . . Wtch Special Judge John W. Hanan, of Lagrange, who heard the Lower Iroquois, or Borntrager ditch case, during the summer and whose finding in favor of the ditch with a few assessment modifications was rendered in August, was here again this Tuesday morning to rule on a motion made the Bth of August for a new trial. There were really a number of motions setting forth different reasons why the remonstrators thought a new trial should be granted. These were scarcely argued at all, however, as the court did not care to hear the argument. He was familiar with the ground the motions covered and rendered a prompt decisions against the motions. Some of the remonstrators, through their attorneys, prayed an appeal. Among the larger land owners appeal-, ing were peorge Ade, B. J. Gifford, Frank .and Charles Hill, Welsh Bros., and the City of Rensselaer. The cost of making an appeal would be any place from SSOO to SI,OOO, the greatest expense being the making of the transcript It is not altogether certain that an appeal will be taken, this depending upon the number who are willing to stand their share of the expense.

SENIOR INDIANA SENATOR WAS HERE

Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, Espouses Cause of Simon Pure Democracy to Small Audience. f ' * Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of South Bend, delivered an address to an audience of about three hundred and fifty people at the Prince Airdome this afternoon. He spoke from the Democratic standpoint Senator Shively succeeded James A. Hemenway in the United, States senate four years ago, and following the defeat of the Republican legislative tickets in Indiana. It had been generally considered that John W. Kern would get the place and John thought so himself and following his defeat charged that Shively’s election was procured by fraud, that eight members of the legislature had been bought by the brewery and whisky interests of the state to desert him and support Shively. Mr. Kern said that he could name the eight traitors and boodlers. He did not name them, however, although appealed to by the press and public from all over Indiana. Senator Shively did not challenge the statement at the time and a few months later Mr. Kern was told that if he would be good he would be chosen to •succeed Beveridge in 1911. Kern settled down to fight for the party and this time, true to promise, augmented by a convention pledge, Kern was chosen. A few months later, Shively and Kern together fought the retention of William Lorimer, alleging that his election was accomplished by Corrupt measures. Thus two men purged themselves by pointing a finger of disgrace at another. And the people have all forgotten and the name of Shively is honored all over the land. Prior to 1892 Senator Shively served four terms in the lower house of congress. He was defeated once for governor of Indiana. .

LYCEUM LECTURES FOR THIS YEAR

Win Open Monday Evening, October 7th, With the Euclid Male Quartette. • The course this year will consist of five numbers, and the price will be SI.OO for the course if the committee can dispose of two hundred season tickets. Should the sale of tickets be less than two hundred it will be necessary to charge $1.25. From all reports the sale of tickets is very favorable, and the two hundred will probably be sold. —Single admission 35c. The talent is the very best and will no doubt please the people. There will be two musical'numbers, two lectures and a reader. The course will open Monday evening, October 7th, at the M. E. church, with the Euclid Made Quartette. The Euclid Male Quartette is in the fifth year of its organization and has made for itself an enviable reputation on the concert pla'tform. Too much stress cannot be "laid upon the fact that during this time the quartet has retained the present personnel, and these years of association and constant study and work together, coupledwith signal individual ability, have produced an ensemble which gives the greatest satisfaction and is remarkable for its nicety of blend and balance. These four men are college bred—all graduates of Antioch College.

Their repertoire is extensive and varied, consisting of classical selections, both sacred and secular, folk songs, popular ballads, plantation melodies, sentimental, pathetic and humorous numbers. Comedy - encores with action are a feature, as are the yocal solos rendered by the various members of, the organization. The other numbers for the course are as follows: SYLVESTER A. LONG. Sylvester A; Long, author of the poular Life Problem Lectures, spent eight years as a high school and college teacher. He has other business interests, but is now giving most of his time to the platform because he considers the Lyceum the most Democratic and purely American expression of the general up-lift movement of the age. He is a man full of new ideas and intensely interested in the practical problems of life. A thorough education (Mt. Morris College, Chicago University, special trainng for the Lyceum and extensive travel, together with his experience on the platform enable him to serve the most exacting audience. MACINNES NEILSON. Among the younger men who have given themselves to the Lyceum platform within recent years is Maclnnes Neilson. By virtue of a combination of rare gifts he has come into high favor, and made a position for himself at once secure and estimable. Mr. Neilson is a Scotchman, and with the Britons of the North he lived till the completion of a successful educational course in Glasgow University. He is a scholar, and, familiar with history and the best in sic-

tion and poetry, hie lectures are characterized by a gracefulness of diction, a clearness of expression, and great directness of appeaL_>3laßsical, and forceful, his word-pictures, full of nature, are yet never above his hearers. His thought is clear, real, human; and clothed in vestment of scholarly simplicity, is admired by cultured and uncultured. Mr. Neilson’s Scotch accent is a de-

light, and there is a peculiar plaintiveness in the voice that makes his appeals irresistable. While there is a constant inter-play of pathos, wit and humor, yet Mr. Neilson treats-no subject trivially. He is distinctly a man with a message, and a message that, in fearless and impassioned speech, burns itself in on the minds and hearts of his auditors. SARAH MILDRED WILLMER. It is not too much to say that Sarah Mildred Willmer in the quality of her work now ranks in the Lyceum where Sarah Bernhardt ranks in the theatrical profession. In her ability to Interpret the master literary productions from the platform she has nd superiorin temperament, or emotional power, the ability to move an audience to laughter or tears, Miss Willmer is without an equal. v

No task of interpretation has been too great for her and no audience, however great the expectation, ever has gone away disappointed.

This generation has not known a reader so distinctly sent as a messenger of enlightenment and cheer, and none has more clearly discerned her mission than has Sarah Mildred Willmer—the Sarah Bernhardt of the Lyceum. THE BOHANNANS. Ord Bohannan, tenor and impersonator, brings tothe Lyceum platform a store ot culture and experience acquired through association with stock and road theatrical companies in America, followed by six years abroad, where his robust tenor voice was schooled by Lamperti, Sbriglia and Jean De Reszke. Mr. Bohannan has toured Germany with the Dresden Mixed Quartet, in concert and oratorio, and appeared with Stadt Theatre Company of Kiel, Schleswig HoliSfein, in Opera. This artist’s peculiar adaptability for the Lyceum platform is probably best illustrated by the following kindly criticism; “Equipped with a beautiful resonant tenor voice, a fund of spontaneous humor, a perfect knowledge of dialects and a deep and sympathetic understanding of the world’s pathos, Mr. bohannan is indeed a prince of entertainers.”

Jean Bohannan, pianist and soprano, has acquired international distinction as a composer, several of her sogs having found a ready market in England and Germany as well as America., Those who are familiar with “To You,” “The Plaidie,” “the Time to Smile,” “If I Were a Rose” and numerous other secular songs, may learn with surprise that this unusually versitile musician has over 100 compositions (mostly sacred) to- her credit, which have been accepted for publication.

She has written a thirty-minute song cycle and a massive male chorus setting of “Captain! My Captain!” As if all this were insufficient, Jean Bohannan has climbed to the rank seldom attained by her sex—that of successful organist, leaving one of the largest organs in Pittsburg, that of the East Liberty Presbyterian church, to identify herself with Lyceum work.
