RICHMOND AGAIN DRUBBED EARLHAM

In Short Game Professionals Downed Collegians by a 5 to 1 Score. HERB WHITE WAS "IT. HE IS PROBABLY THE BEST COLLEGE PITCHER IN THE STATE AND LOCAL PLAYERS ADMIRE HIS STYLE HE MAY SIGN. The Richmond squad worked out yesterday at Reid Field, which Coach Yall has generously placed at their disposal when needed. All the candidates went through their stunts in a gingery manner except the pitchers, who are suffering considerably from lamewingis. a. disease which effects the twirling arm. Iledjuk was a little under the weather but that did not prevent him from taking a hard workout. Vail's squad of husky Quaker collegians took the field about four o'clock and after a half hour practice they lined up against the professionals. White was in the box for Earlham and the first two innings of the four inning game which was played he was the whole works. In these two innings he whilled six of the locals. In the third Whites support went bad on him. This disheartened the big fellow and in the last round the professionals rapped him hard. The locals took the contest by a score of 5 to 7. Capt. Parker worked Conner all four innings and the big fellow held his opponents well except in the third when they combed him for two or three bingles. Fiant went to short yesterday with Hanna in center field. Both men worked out nicely in these positions. Parker led off the batting list yesterday with Shinn following him. "Ever since I have played professional ball 1 have led off on the batting list," stated Parker. "If I have to bat third or fourth I feel lost." The captain succeeded in getting his base every time up yesterday and Shinn was pretty successful in advancing him. Shinn is a good bunter and is as fast as a streak. This combination may work out all right. Burns and Bambraugh batted third and fourth and each of them succeeded in getting a clean drive. Members of the local team are loud in their praises of Herb White, the Earlham box artist. "He has plenty of speed and one of the nicest drop balls I ever saw. He also has splendid control," remarked Hanna. Last year White came here to join the Richmond team but he decided that he would remain in the amateur class a year longer, so he returned home. He may play professional ball at the close of the college season. Its a cinch that there is no college twirler in the state that is in his class. For sale cent cigar. anywhere Pathfinder. PLANT RETARDATION. the Method of Prodnetnc flowers Oat of Srnaan. Lilies of the valley 'and many other flants are now placed on the markets of the world's great cities months after they are out of season. This is accomplished by "plant retardation," liolding back the development by means of cold and darkness until whatever time Is desired. Then they are nee more subjected to light and wArmth, when they blossom. The Most prominent feature of a plant retardation establishment is the huge cold storage building in which the plants are stowed away. Under the tare of the guide the Tisitor passes the portals. In. a moment he steps from the warmth and light of a summer's dny into the cold bitterness of a winter's night, the darkness of which is hut feebly relieved by the flickering band lanterns. The interior of the building is divided into various chambers, and each one of these is allotted to some particular kind of plant. One chamber is full of lily of the valley roots, the next is packed with boxes containing lilium bulbs, while again a compartment is crammed with small potted plants of azalea and spiraea. Each and all of these varieties are in n dormant condition, sleeping away their time entirely unconscious of the changing seasons in the outside world. The walls of the chambers are thickly coated with a deposit of frost crystals, and millions of these flash like diamonds in response to the rays of light from the lamp. The degree of cold is usually obtained by means of a compressed air apparatus, and the freezing current is led into the different chambers through wooden channels. In course of time these passages get choked with hoarfrost, and it becomes necessary for a man to enter them and clean the accumulation away. This is a cold job. In places the temperature is as low as 20 degrees below zero. The costume of a workman engaged in this clearing out operation is practically an arctic outfit. Every part of the body with the exception of small holes for eyes and mouth must tie protected with thick wool. Otherwise serious frostbites would ensue. Retarded plants may be kept In check for eight months or at times as long as a year, and curiously enough they do not seem to be any the worse for the treatment. Indeed, the experience seems to make them grow all the faster when they are allowed to make a start. Some varieties grow at a tremendous rate when thej are brought Into beat Chicago News.

Affairs of the

(By Tort.) The following are the scores of the various exhibition games played yesterday: At Dayton. O Cinci lati 4, Dayton 2; at Nashville, Tenn Chicago Cubs 7, Nashville 2; at Quincy, 111. Chicago White Sox 8, Quincy 2; Burlington, la Wnite Sox Colts 5; Burlington O; at Philadelphia Athletics 7; Nationals H; at Toledo, O. New York Nationals I, Toledo 1; at Louisville Cleveland 9, Louisville 1. Casey Horn, the well known local pitcher, worked with the Quincy team yesterday against the White Sox regulars and was hit hard. Tom Plummer also played with Quincy. He failed to make a showing. Manager Armour of the Toledo team, states that no "Merry Widow" hats can rest on the heads of the Toledo beauts while attending a ball game at his park. This is a hop tip for Manager Jessup to play. Some of the head coverings now being worn by local young women are big enough to give a dancing party on. Shinn, the little left fielder on the SMOTE HISLANDLADY Now Wieland Is in a Peck of Trouble Over a Board Bill. HIRAM GOT PEEVISH. Hiram Wieland, former proprietor of the New Windsor hotel, who some weeks ago was heavily fined for operating the house as a place of ill fame, is again in trouble. Last night he was placed under arrest on a charge of having committed assault and battery on Margaret Wysong, who runs a boarding house in the east end of town. Wieland has been boarding with her. Yesterday she asked him to pay his bill. This made Wieland peevish and he smote his landlady. This morning Wieland entered a plea of not guilty in the city court. The case was postponed until tomorrow morning and, at the request of the prosecutor, will be heard by a jury. DINING TABLES. The Transition From the Featl-ve Boaril of Primitive Man. The first dining table was probably just a block of stone or a log of wood, but even primitive man must soon have discovered thnt these devices did not provide for the comfortable dis posal of his legs and have set abftut taxing all bis ingenuity to invent something else. It is probable that as the result of his cogitations a rough hewn piece of board supported on two big stones came into fashion among the elite In these far prehistoric times. The early trestle table which was used In the beginning of the fifteenth century consisted of a parallelogram of wood, fashioned Into a board, resting upon two or more pedestal-like supports. And Tjve have a reminiscence of this movable kind of table in the expression, "A seat at the board," today, while that of "taking the chair" is obviously a survival of the time when a chair was the place of honor reserved for the master of the house or given by the grand seigneur to the guest whom he wished to honor, the other diners sitting upon rude benches placed at the-side of the table. One can Imagine the inventor seated at the head of his new dinner table, clad in his best bearskin and surround ed by a select and admiring company of his intimates, who ate roast flesh literally off the festive board and who drank the first toast at this first primeval dinner party in his honor in cool water from a stream hard by. From this stag to planks resting on rude trestles would.be an easy transition, and civilization had of course made considerable progress before the supports and the board were joined as one piece of furniture. The Word "Studio." "Studio" is one of the many foreign words that have acclimated themselves in the English language. It is a recent import from Italy, unknown to Johnson's Dictionary and apparently not occurring before the nineteenth century, but it has supplied a waut. "Study." which is the real English for "studio." suggests a room for reading and writing, and "workroom" lacks distinctiveness. The French get along with "atelier," which literally means a place in which email planks are preparedin other words, a carpenter's workshop. The Middle Clans Tn Xovel. Is it true that the modern English novel reader insists upon hearing about the rich or the great? I can hardly think so when I remember the many successful works of fiction dealing with costers and Scottish ministers, journalists and typists, actresses and novelists. The Disraeli type of novel seems almost extinct, and the great bulk of works of fiction deals with the middle classes. London Ladv. Urint For Him. "There's a new young man calling on Miss Maud this evening." said the fox terrier, "and he seems real nice." "Yes, I heard her say he was nice enough to eat." replied the bulldog on the lawn.

If White, the Earlham twirler. will sign with the locals at the close of the college season, the fans will forgive him for jumping the team last summer. Yesterday Coach Vail received a contract from the management of the Purdue team, which calls for an Earl-ham-Purdue game at Lafayette next Saturday. Two Piqua baseball enthusiasts state that if Sunday baseball is permitted in that city, they will back an l.-O. league club there. An effort is now being made to secure this concession. The Elks are now busy selling tickets for the polo carnival at the Coliseum, the week of April 20. According to reports these tickets are going like hot cakes at a. hash factory.

FOLLOWED GIRL ABOUT THE STREETS Mary Sherry Registers Charges Against Botts. Fred B'ltls, in the city court this morning, entered a plea of not guilty to a (barge of provoking Mary Sherry. Prosecutor Jessup then filed the charge against Holts in the circuit, court. The Sherry girl charges that Potts has been following her about the streets, and that she had hint arrested for self protection. A TALL TIGER. The War the Sleek Brute Impressed an IJxoited Frenchman. Tigers are impressive creatures, especially when one meets them in the forest. George Maxwell writes of them: "There is little doubt that almost every one has a peculiar sensation of the almost godlike beauty, power, activity and strength of a tiger. A tiger will overawe and make conscious of his inferiority a man who would be unaffected by the bulk of an elephant The feeling is, however, elusive of description, and I can perhaps best explain it in the- words of a most charming French geutlcmau who was once manager of a great tin mining company in l'erak. We had just tinished lunch when he . entered in a st:it of tremendous excitement Walking alote and unarmed along an unfrequented bridle path through the forest, he had walked almost on to a tiger. "He gave us a most vivid narrative of the encounter how t In? tiger had been lying down coueeaied in some long lalang grass beside ibe path; how he was within ten yards of it before he saw it; how then it rose and looked at him; how it yawned at him; how it then walked slowly across the path in front of him and then stopped and looked at him, again yawning, and how it then deliberately walked away into the forest, whose depths finally hid it from view. "Soma one asked the Frenchman whether it was n big tiger, lie answered: 'Well, messieurs, I cannot say if he is a big tiger. My eyes see that he is big, but I cannot say how big I see him to be, and if I say how big it is perhaps that I tell you a lie. Rut I can tell you, messieurs, how big I feel him to be. and 1 can tell you the truth. When he is standing there in front of me I tell you that 1 feel he is not less than thir-r-ty feet high.'

The Salvelinus fontinulis, which is currently hut inaccurately celled brook trout, was supposed for many years to be a small fish. Anusiz was largely Instrumental in exploding this fallacy. It is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get a six or seveu pound trout of this variety. It is known that a trout may grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There is, however, great difficulty in accounting for its variation in size. In northeastern Canada there are large streams and lakes in which only hngerliugs have ever been found. In the immediate vicinity of such water three ami four pound trout are quite common, and seven and eight pounders are not phenomenal. In all these waters Crustacea do not abound; there are no small lisu of any kind except small trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders. At some places, it is true, frocs abound, but, taken as a whole, the difference in food supply is not an adequate explanation for the difference in growth. There is no substantial difference In the waters as to temperature, size, origin and course.. Climatic conditions are the same. The small trout taken to virgin lakes in which there are no fish have sometimes grown to a great size, have sometimes remained small and sometimes have njt thriven. The anglers who haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explanation of this peculiar condition of things. It is one of the mysteries which lend fascination to the art. "You never can tell what is going to happen when you go fishing." St. Paul Dispatch. Count rT Libraries. The usefulness of urban libraries has been proved up to the hilt, but the question arises why similar advantages cannot be supplied in rural districts. As a matter of fact, they are more needed In the country than in the towns. The dullness of country life is constantly bewailed, and it can be readily believed that a young agricultural laborer or a young woman brought up in the country would be very glad to have the chance of the wide choice of books which their cousLos In tswa nia bij i ----

ROLLICKING COLLEGE SONGS WERE SUNG

Wabash College Glee Club Made a Distinct Hit in Entertainment. MANDOLIN CLUB IS STRONG. WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVER HEARD IN THE CITY INDIVID UAL ARTISTS CORDIALLY. WERE RECEIVED A big audience at the First Prc--b;e-rian church was entertained in a most pleasing manner last eveniug by a real-for-sure bund of rah-rah boys, just fresh from Wabash college. The deeds of the t.'rawfordsvillo institution in Athletics have been mighty. The little collt-ge has made some of our haughtiest universities bow the Knee in football, track sports, basketball ami baseball. Now. judging of the gb-e club and mandolin club Wabash ha.-, in the field, the plucky college is out with the intention of comerir.ir all collegiate musical honors, now infecting this section of the union. Clad in cviiiing drives and sport itu; the scarlet, the color of their alma mater, across immaculate shirt, fronts, the sturdy Wabash musicians created havoc, with numerous young society women who were in attendance. The mandolin club is one of the best organization of its kind ever heard in this city. The quartette also made a big hit. The glee club sang popular seieitious and rollicking college, songs. Every effort of the ghe club listened like "more" to the audience and the glee clubites responded gracefully to the demands made on them. W. Cr. Masters rendered a violin selection which was one of the features of the highly pleasing program. This young man is a master of the instrument. Mr. Pees, the soloist, possesses a rich baritone voice and he was enthusiastically received. One of the distinct hits of the evening was the work of Mr. Walter. Clad in regular 'varsity glad rags, with a sassy white outing hat, he sang "He Went to College." The audience liked him so well that he was forced to respond to three encodes. A FAMOUS DIAMOND. lurlunn Incident In the History of the Kohinoor. The Kohinoor fell into the hands of the ruler of Lahore and on the conquest of the Punjab became a possession of Queen Victoria in the year J850. j The Jjrst, autlitio mention cf tfcis matchless gem is by an eastern monarch, who refers to a "jewel valued at oj,ie-hiiif the daily expenses of the whole world." A century or two later the Persian conqueror of India, seeing the diamond glitter in the turban of the unfortunate rajah, exclaimed, with rough and somewhat costly humor, "Come, let us change our turbans in pledge of friendship'." The exchange was promptly effected. The stone fell at last Into the hands of the British, and pending its delivery to the crown Sir John Lawrence, afterward Lord Lawrence, was made its guardian. His biographer, Bosworth Smith, relates a curious incident of its custody. Half unconsciously .Sir .loan thrust if, wrapped up in numerous folds of cloth, into his waistcoat pocket, the whole being in an insignificant little box. lie continued the work upon which he was i engaged and thought no more of his ; previous treasure. He changed his i clothes for dinner and threw his waist- ! coat aside, still forgetting all about the ; little box contained in it. j Some weeks afterward a message ; came from the viceroy saying that tho queen had ordered the jewel to be imj mediately transmitted to her. In a moment the fact of his carelessI ness flashed across Sir John, but lie ! slipped away to his private room 1 and with his heart in his mouth sent I for his old bearer, of whom he asked: j "Have you a small box that was in j my waistcoat pocket some time ago?" i "Yes. sahib," the man replied. "I I found it and put it in your chest of j drawers." ! "Bring it here," said Sir John. "Open ! it," he ordered when the little box had ' been produced, "and see what is inside.".
