At the meeting- of the Richmond High School Athletic association yesterday Colin Schaefer was elected temporary captain of the baseball team with authority until April 10. The custom, of electing; the captain who shall have authority throughout the season has nlwaj-s been followed, and the results have sometimes been unsatisfactory. Mr. Schaefer will make a good captain and the candidates made a wise choice. There has been a great deal of contention in the past few days concerning' the baseball and track teams. Many are in. favor of doing1 away with a baseball team tin? year in order to expend the full strength of the school's athletes or the track team, which has already shown itself to be worthy of the school, while it is feared that, on account of the lack of a ood pitcher.

Burners BROS. CO. IfkM that the baseball team will prove a failure, financially and otherwise. So far the baseball supporters hav had their way, and practice will be shortly began. The only position on the team which it is feared there is no capable man to fill is that of pitcher, but it is probable that a jrood man for this place will be found anions: the long; list of candidates. Manager Carman has written to several teams, but, so far, only games with Rushville have been arranged. The teams this year will be stronger than any that high school has yet played ag-ainst. The track candidates attempted the first long run through the eastern part of the city yesterday afternoon and held out very well. Captain Genn is confident that the best track team in years will be developed. "Regular out-door practice runs will be started soon. The proposition for the basketball team to pay their own expenses to Hamilton for a game wao discouraged. H0Ls HIS LEG Sweetheart Secured Man's Artificial Limb and "Won't Return It. Charles L. Fulbert, who has only one leg. has asked the state police to help him find his artificial limb, which has been missing three months. Fulbert, wh? travels with the aid of a crutch" and a cane, says: "When I worked in Salem, Mass., three months ago, I used to call on Miss Anna Sullivan, 20 years old, in Lynn. One evening while sitting alone with Miss Sullivan in the parlor of her home my artificial leg suddenly gave way and went down with a crash. I did not know what to do with my leg, but Miss Sullivan, who had helped me to gather up the broken pieces, said: 'You can put your leg in my trunk until you can send for new pieces and repair it.' "I finally lost my position in Salem because I couldn't get around the hotel fast enough to suit the land lord. I went to New York and spent two months looking for work without success, and this week I started for Lynn because I couldn't get along without my leg- any longer. I received a cool reception at the Sullivan home, and Anna's sister said she didn't know anything- about my leg: She said that Anna had packed her trunk two months ago and had jrone to Hartford. "My search for Anna and her trunk in Hartford was fruitless and I am utterly discouraged. My artificial leg. cost $150 and it could be repaired for $4. When I find Miss Sullivan I shall appeal to her in the name of humanity to return my leg to me." JohnL. Mosbaugh left for Cincinnati . Wednesday. He goes to take ia place with the C, C. & L railroad company, in the freight department of the city agency. Cambridge City

The bride is a very ordinary town girl who doesn't know any more than a rabbit about cooking and who never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known here as an up-to-date loafer. lie has been living oil the old folks all his life and don't amount to shucks. They will have a hard life while they live together, and the News has no congratulations to offer, for we don't believe any good can come from such a union. Opolona " (Miss.) News. A CORRECTION. In the Palladium's report of the Commercial club meeting there was an error in the amount of money in the treasury. It should read $11, instead of $1,100. ABNER CLAWSON NOT DEAD. The notice of the death of Abner Clawson, in this paper yesterday, was a little premature. A Palladium representative got the news from a very reliable source and had no reason to doubt it. The Palladium is glad to say that Mr. Clawson is still living, and seems much better today. Don't miss the recital at First Presbyterian church Friday evening, March 4th. Admission 15 cents.

CHARITIES Monthly Meeting Held MondayLargest Allowance in its History. The monthly meeting of this organization was held Monday afternoo. This being the work of the people of our city, we are anxious for you to know the true condition. February has been the hardest month on our treasury in the history of the work. The various bills allowed for groceries, wood, coal, shoes and clothing, including salary of missionary and rent, amounted to $20G.S4. The treasurer, received during the month This came from 22 parlies, two of these contributed $150, leaving $15 for twenty. "We are verythankful for these donations.' It shows that these people have an interest in the work, and are willing to help. - We have now received towards the year's work in response to our appeal by circular and postal cards, $1,037.02. This amount lias been received from 1S7 persons or families, out of the 65S circulars that have been sent out. Any one can estimate how long this amount of money will reach with four months of the kind of winter we had to provide for. Hence you can readily see that the treasury is low. Will not many of those to whom circulars and postals have been sent, as well as others, respond speedily any amount you can give will be gratefully received. I wish you could attend one of our meetings and hear the reports that come to us from month to month. The work of transfonning people is going on. That which can be done w'th soap, water and clothing and that which can alone be done with he cleansing blood of Christ. Both are very much needed, and both are being applied. One family especially has been renovated, soul and body, and the family sent on its way rejoicing. We are in need of clothing for women. Any clothing that can be used, send it .to the headquarters, 21 south fifth street, and money to the treasurer, Mrs. D. L. Mather, i?G north twelfth street. If the more than 400 who have not responded will only send one dollar, you can see what it amounts to. Come to our help. C. Hubcr. President. Professionally Speaking:.

STORY OF SULU Ihi

riionoRraph Said to Have Decided. Saltan In' Cecil n the Islands. It was a ponograph that caused the sultan "of SSulu to make his famous, treaty with the United states through thg agency of General Bates In 1S99. iu. C. Rostin in the Scientific American describes the visit of the sultan, and his suit to the cruiser Charleston,their great wonderment when they touched an electric button and a Chinese servant appeared. Says the writer: "The funniest thing of all was when, the mighty chief upon invitation fired, the Colt automatic gun. The explosion of the first discharge seemed to root him ' to the spot. Ills hands still gripped the trigger, with the result that shells continued to pepper the surrounding waters. So thoroughly frightened was the sultan it Was impossible to make him loosen his hold and an ofiicer ordered the cutting of the tape, stopping the supply of ammunition. "The party was then taken to one of the officer's rooms, and a pleasing exhibition of the phonograph was given. The aged mother of the sultan sat entranced throughout the performance. It was not until it was time for her son to affix his signature to the treaty that she awakened. Under one condition only would she permit the sultan to sign, the phonograph must become hers at once. "For a time that phonograph threatened to be the means of upsetting all of General Bates' well laid plans for the amicable taking over of the islands. The owner was prevailed upon to part with the machine in the interest of his government, and the coveted music producer changed owners at the signing of the treaty by the sultan' JAPAN AND RUSSIA. Striking Contrasts Between Progres of the Two Countries. Comparisons or contrasts between Japan and Russia are striking in more than one respect, says the New York Tribune. Thus Japan has about 47,000,000 people and Bussia perhaps 130,000,000. Again, Japan's land area is scarcely 1G3.000 square miles, while Russia's is nearly 8,700,000. So Russia has nearly three times as many people and more than fifty times as much land as Japan, wherefore, we might think, Russia could well afford to be a little less land hungry at Japan's expense. , On the other hand, Japan, with her so much smaller population, has morepupils in her schools than Russia. Ac cording to the latest available Statis tics! .T'innn line -1 V.(Y nn chiMrtm in elementary schools and Bussia only 4,193,594 that is to say, ninety-one in every thousand Russians are in elementary schools. The disproportion of numbers in secondary schools and uni versities is equally marked in favor of Japan. Again, Japan has 4.S32 postoffices, or one to every 9,700 people, while Russia has only G.029, or one to every 21,50a people. Japan has under sail and steam a commercial marine of 734,413 tons, while Russia has only (533,822 tons. Ja pan's purchases from the United States amount to about $21,000,000 a year and Russia's to only $17,000,000. . Of course it is argued that Russia isstill in an elementary stage of development. Bat Russia has been in full and direct intercourse with the civilized world since the time of Feter the Great, 200 years ago, while Japan has been in a similar state scarcely fifty years that is to say, Japan has made three times the progress Russia has and in one-fourth the time. In such circumstances it is not at all strange that the admiration and sympathy of the world are given to Japan in a great measure. Novel Side Dish. According to a London daily paper, a well known firm of west end chemists in London is making up pills as silver coated bonbons to le handed round on silver dishes immediately after the entree. By this beneficent means the unsuspecting gormand is enabled the next day to applaud his host and hostess for the excellent cookery and perfect wines of the previous evening's repast. In days gone by, when we were ill. The nurse knew what to do; She gave us sweet stuff with a pill, And so she pulled us through. But when the modern diner eats His hosteBs sends a tray Of silvered pills round with the sweet; He blesses her next day! Frozen Pumpkin's Havoc. With a roar like a cannon a f rozen pumpkin in the kitchen of Mrs. J. R. Gallemore of Fayette, Mo., recently exploded, tearing a stove to fragment and strewing the premises with scraps of iron and pumpkin seed, says a Columbia dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mrs. Gallemore had been making pumpkin pies. She put. a pumpkin of unusual size into the oven, kindled a fire and stepped into an adjoining room to wait for the pumpkin to thaw out. There was an explosion that was heard several blocks, and when the Gallemore family rushed into the kitchen they found the windows blown out, the kitchen furniture upset and the stove a heap of scrap iron. Peary Expects Jfew Race nt Pole. Commander Peary, the arctic explorer, in an interview at Boston the other day said that he believes there may be a new race of people living at or in the region of the north pole and that If he can reach the farthest north land he will discover an entirely distinct fa-una and flora,' due to Its complete isolation for ages. Ite expects to leave this coming summer for his winter quarters and remain there during the arctic winter, Btarting north about the middle of February. .
