Decatur, Ind., Sept. 12 Decatur as
sumed the lead In the Indiana-Ohio
League Wednesday by defeating the hard-hitting Kokomo team in two
games, the first resulting 2 to 1 and
the second game 6 to 1. The first
came was the most sensational ever
games for the visitors and the little seen on the local grounds, as for eight
twlrler deserved to win the first game. RItter's costly misjudgment of a high fly and the Inability of his team mates were the cause! of Fleming losing this contest. In the second game Fleming tried his utmost to bring home a Quaker victory but he was tired and as a result the Blufftonites took kindly to his delivery. Sleepy work on the part of his support aided the locals in pilling up a big score in this second exhibition of the national pastime. In the first game Bluffton scored Its cnly run on a hit that went for three bases because of RItter's misjudgment. The fly, which was poled by Partlow, should have been an easy capture. After the first Inning Fleming tightened up and the' locals never had a chance to score. Twice Richmond had three men on bases In this game but the necessary pinch hit was not forth coming. In the second game Bluffton hit at will while Hull was a complete mystery to the Visitors. Bluffton fan3 are joyful over the three straight victories of the home
club but they regret the fact that the three straight dofeat3 of the Quakers will probably give their ancient enemy, Decatur, the I. O. league pennant. Score of the two games:

The second game was won handily by the locals, as Grimes at no time wa3 effective and was touched up by the locals when hits meant runs. Kokomo is a scrappy bunch of ball players and frtiifrht everv inch of the way. The
work of Pitcher Kiehl was remarkable
as he pitched both games, permitting
but two runs and twelve hits In eigh
teen innings. He was well supported in hnth enmes by his teammates.

Here Is a part of an actual speech de
livered in a court of law In India by a Hindu pleader: "What they say is very
if not most ridiculously absurd to be
lieve. Indeed, it is incredulous. They
say that the blood flew, and they did
nothing to put the wonderful wound into ease. This, sir, is a lie, an unmitigated lie or rather a falsehood, or fable, or story, or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a terminal exactitude.
These buffaloes never used to graze on the field, which is not actually even
proper grazing meadow. The destina
tion which they started was half a mile from the cynosure to which they went, unless they did not ride on lightning
horses, how could they reach to that premises in five minutes? Can any man idiot even will not believe such a
stupid concoctatlon.

POPE
GREGORY'S CORRECTION THE JULIAN CALENDAR.
OF
At One Time October Was the Tear Shortest -Month It Contained Only Twenty-one Days la 1 Commotion the Chaugje Mn! 1 Eaclaad. Did you ever hear of the famous ehort month of October, which . had only twenty-one days? Some three centuries atr In southern Europe men tried to correct an error that had been growing continually for more than a thousand years, and the result was that they called the day after Oct 4, 152, Oct 15 instead of Oct. 5. We get our ideas and principles regarding the calendar from two sources.
Roman and Jewish. Every one knows that the names of the months are Latin, and in the histories we read how the various Roman rulers changed the distribution of days within the month, etc., to suit their pride or political schemes, much as modern politicians hasten or postpone a convention, and brought things Into great confusion until Julius Caesar decreed that the coming year should consist of CGo days and every fourth year of 365. The extra day was to be inserted between the 24th and 25th of February. In their way of numbering the days of the month, which seems to us so awkward, the 24th was sexto calendar, or the sixth day before the calends of March. When the extra day was inserted it was called the second sixth, or, in Latin, bissexto calendas, whence our bissextile. From Jewish sources we get other features. The great Jewish festival of the passover was celebrated on the very day of the first full moon after the spring equinox. The early Christians, or many of them, took the same day, but this led to charges of heresy, to discussion, criticism and even contempt; so it was decreed probably by Constantino the Great in 325 A. D in connection with the council of Nicaea, that the Christian festival Easter should be observed on the Sunday following the passover, and the other movable feasts of the church were made dependent on this. So the element of a fixed day of the week was brought Into the calculation. In this year 325 the vernal equinox fell on March 21. and, if Caesar's work In establishing the Julian calendar had only been correct, this event would have happened on this date forever. But nature seems to abhor simple ratios as she was said to abhor a vacuum. Unfortunately for simplicity the year is not exactly 3G5 days G hours, but about 11 minutes 14 seconds less. So the insertion of the extra day In four years was overdoing the correction, as was known even in the dark ages, but after the revival of learning and the establishment of observatories It was commented on In the council of Trent and was very much discussed by mathematicians. And by the middle of the sixteenth century the hundreds of small errors had accumulated to ten days, so the vernal
equinox fell not on the 21st but on
the 11th, of March.
This was the condition of things when, in 1572, Pope Gregory XIII. was elected. He realized the glory that It
would be to his reign if this confusing
matter was settled, and so set a com
pany of mathematicians to- work out
the problem, not only of rectifying the
old errors, but of providing rules to prevent errors In the future. The hard
est part of the work was to fix the
movable church feasts without doing
violence to the traditions. That a good deal could be said about the work Is evidenced by the book of 800 pages
written by Clavlus, one of the compa
ny. The result was that In 1581 a papal bull was issued declaring, among
other things, that In 15S2 the day fol
lowing Oct 4 should be called Oct. 15
and that centuries should not be leap
years unless divisible by 400.
Rulers and states that were then
Catnollc responded to the pope s re
quest for acceptance of the reform. In
France the ten days were dropped after Dec. 9, 1582; in Catholic Germany the change was made in 1584, but the
Frotestant states delayed until Feb. 19 (March 1), 1600. In Switzerland and Poland there was such resistance made
that the troops were necessary to sup
press It
The change was long delayed In Frot-
estant England, which would not will
lngly accept an alleged reform due to
a pope that bad encouraged the ar
mada. But the need of the uniformity
among neighboring states was too
great, and In 1751 Lord Chesterfield in
troduced Into parliament a bill for the reform of the calendar. Some details
of the law may be quoted from a maga
zine of September, 1752: "Sept. 14 Thi3 day the Gregorian style took place
in all Europe, Asia, Africa and Amer
ica. This day, had not this act passed, would have beeu the 3d of September,
but It was now reckoned the 14th, eleven nominal days being omitted. Every
fourth year will be a bissextile, or leap
year, until 1S00, which will be a com
mon year of 3G5 days, but 1S04 will be a leap year. Easter and the movable feasts thereon depending ' are to be reckoned according to the new tables
prefixed to the act of parliament All the fixed feast days are to be kepfon the same nominal day as here
tofore. Tayment of rent notes,
the attainment of majority or expira
tion of apprenticeships shall
not be accelerated hereby. If servants' wages are usually paid at
the quarter days, eleven days wages may be deducted out of the present quarter and the reckoning for the future go regularly on." Such were some of the minute provisions of the net It will be readily believed that Ignorant people could not understand this, and we are told of mobs marching through the land crying, "Give us back our eleven days!
Shady Trade Which Once Floorljhea la Xw York's Coarts. The elder Weiler la "Pickw ick" was. as all aduiirers of The works of Die--ezis vrill know, a givat believer In the utility of an alibi as a defease in both criminal and civil actions. "Never mind the cLnracter," said Mr. v eller t: his son. "Stick t: the alley -bi. Nothing Lke an alley bi. Sammy : nothing. Verever he's agohi" to be tiied. me boy, a alley bi's the thing to pet him IT." This sage advice of Mr. Wel'.er found frequent corroboration in the views of criminal la xyers ia town up to a very few year3 ago. There were half a century ago more criminal lawyers than there are todry, and the emoluments and fees of criminal lawyers were materially larger ia the ordinary run of cases tl.an now. An a consequence, cases w-re more often defended than they are now and pleas of guilty much n:ore rarer. Then the alibi witness was a necessary though usually unwelcome part of the machinery, of defense In criminal cases. There is In criminal procedure no better defense than an alibi If sustained. Alibi witnesses were therefore very much in demand until juries began to mistrust the r.n and the penalties for the erirre of perjury were visited upon some of the delinquents. For a long time the mendacious Rnd subsidized testimony of profesilonal alibi witnesses obtained credence from Jurors, and some of these witnesses, to quote their own language, "made a good thing out of It" Juries In criminal cases are usually sympathetic where no outside pressure is brought upon them, and it is the part of the cburp of ever3' judge in a criminal case to inform the jury that the prisoner nt the bar Is entitled to every reasonable doubt. If, therefore, any uncertainty existed on the point whether or not the prisoner was actually present at the time and place of the alleged crime he was entitled to the benefit of it. but little by little the prosecuting officers became acquainted with the Identity and records of the professional alibi witnesses. One or two were prosecuted. Others were scared o?f. The courmercinl value of the services of the others was decreased, and finally the whale nefarious bvs!r.r- t abandoned, never since to l-- -

It developed yesterday that Ed Haas of Richmond, is very likely to be the next republican chairman for the Sixth District. Owen L.

He has not been identified in a factional way at Richmond and is considered a very good man to rehabilitate the party and lead it to victory.
