EARNEST ENDEAVVOR IS BEING MADE TO GET EITHER ANDERSON, MARION OR PIQUA INTO THE FOLD.

At a meeting held by the official of the I.-O. league at Van Wert last evening-, satisfactory arrangements for continuing the league were made. For the time being the four cities that have composed the league from the start will constitute the circuit, but a com

mittee was appointed to further the plan of placing teams in Marion, Anderson or Piqua, O., making a six club league. Traction people at Marion are interested in the plan and they will be glad to accept the franchise for that city, providing they are successful in their attempt to induce the city officials to permit Sunday base ball. At Anderson ex-Governor Purbin and other business men are interested in the scheme and if they can organize a stock company, they will accept a league franchise. At Piqua the fans are getting very hungry for base ball, and an effort to organize a stock company there might meet with success. A party of Muncie business men have taken over the Muncie franchise and have organized a stock company. First Baseman Wills has been appointed manager of the team. All the former members of the club have been signed again except "Biddy" Burns and the frost is on the pumpkin and the goose hangs high. At the Van Wert meeting Muncie was represented by Clarence Jessup. ; Dick Balrd, the former Muncie mana- ' ger, attended the meeting, but the magnates handed him the ice water. President Gamble announced the welcome news that the I.-O. league has at last been taken under national protection. The magnates at once appropriated $!. which will be forwarded to Secretary Farrell of the National association of Minor leagues as the I.-O.'s initiation fee for being admitted into the brotherhood of organized base ball. From this time on there will be no more tampering with players belonging to the various clubs in the league. Should a player holding a contract with any club in the I.;0. league jump his contract he would at once be "black-listed" and prevented from playing with any club in the country under national protection. Yesterday afternoon the league officials witnessed the game between the Richmond and the Van Wert teams, which resulted in a victory for the latter team. The game was close and ex

citing, but the excellent pitching of Mason, was offset by the numerous er

rors made behind him. Score: Richmond 1 o o o o a l

"But the greater fight is not in this district. It is in the state and nation. I am satisfied, if by waging an earnest and vigorous fight in this district, I can contribute to the election of Marshall as governor, I am satisfied, if by working as your representative, I can contribute to the success of that great man greater than which doe snot live on this continent or on this planetWilliam Jennings Bryan." Mr. Northern was called upon for a speech and responded in a manner that created enthusiasm. The Hon. James F. Cox, candidate for secretary of state, was also called upon, but he yielded his time to Mr. Marshall.

The Star Chamber. The old tribunal which figures so extensively in the history of Charles I. as the "star chamber" is said to have received the name from the fact that the roof of the apartment in which the tribunal sat was decorated with gilt stars. Another explanation is that it took its name from the "starres," or Jewish bonds, which at one time had been kept In it.

The Winning Ways of a Smooth

Wily Extortionist. At Paillard's and the Cafe de la Paix, which latter Is now owned by Ledoyer, who began life as a bottle washer and is today worth 2.000.C0H francs, you will be fairly certain of a carte with the prices affixed, but at the Cafe de Paris, unless you are known, you will meet the carte with no price stated, which means that you will be

charged whatever the maitre d'hotel thinks you are able or willing to pay. It may be that you will suggest that the usual carte would be a greater compliment to your common sense, but If you do that you are a brave man. The cowards may console themselves with the reflection that in the eyes of the management they are either princes, rich Americans or fools. 1 have seen half a hundred princes, a few rich Americans and a great many fools, for uuless one Is bora to the pur pie the maitre d'hotel of such a place a3 the Cafe de Paris is apt to tower above one. a greater man than Saul of Tarsus. I recall the incident of an American who did object, not to the carte, but to the bill as rendered, and what do you think happened to him? "If monsieur pleases," suavely said the maitre d'hotel, "it will afford us the greatest pleasure to extend to monsieur the hospitality of the house, in which case monsieur will of course pay nothing, but mless monsieur wishes to accept we must ask him to pay the full amount of the bill as rendered. We cannot permit that our tariff should be questioned." Oh, there are ways! "Famous Cafes and Restaurants Abroad," by Aubrey

Shrewd Advice.

The virtues of a keen business man are often negative rather than positive. It is said that a great broker once told his son that only two things were necessary to make a great flnan cier. "And what are those, papa?" the son asked. "Honesty and sagacity." "But what do you consider the mark of honesty to be?" "Always to keep your word." "And the mark of sagacity?" "Never to give your word."

The Interesting History of an Earlier Day Novel That Is Frequently Al

luded to In Literature and at Times Quoted Incorrectly. Everybody, or nearly everybody, has heard of the novel of "Frankenstein." though It is not probable that many persons read It nowadays. There are so many allusions to it in our literature, however, that one absorbs some sort of notion of it so that be cannot help knowing that it Is a weird and ghastly story about a monster, but whether or not Frankenstein is the monster even well informed people do not always know, showing that they never read the story. Sometimes we hear allusions to

"Frankenstein's monster," as in one of Charles Sumner's orations, where he speaks of the "soulless monster of Frankenstein, the wretched creation of mortal science without God," and sometimes the reference is to Frankenstein only, as if he were the monster. Of course Sumner, who was very particular in his use of figures of speech, was right When Mrs. Deland in her novel of "Sidney" makes Major Lee say that "Christianity is a Frankenstein" she suffers the major to talk nonsense. The story of this weird novel and the circumstances under which it came to be written are decidedly interesting and may be told in a few words. The facts are as follows: In 1S1G Mary Godwin, afterward Mrs. Shelley, eloped with Shelley, and they took up their residence near Geneva, in Switzerland. They had Lord Byron for a neighbor, and the three passed much time together. Their conversation frequently ran on the occult and the mysterious, and Byron one day proposed that each should write a ghost story. .All agreed and went to work, but it was not long before the two poets gave it up as a hopeless task. They could write poetry, but they could not write stories.

Mary persevered and completed her tale in the spring of 1817. When By- j ron and Shelley heard It read they were surprised and delighted. It was bound to be the novel of the century 1 The name of it was "Frankeustein; or. The Modern rrometheus." It was immediately sent to London for publication and met with a great success. Frankenstein Is a Swiss youth, a student at the University of Ingolstadt, deeply interested in the study of chemistry and natural philosophy. He resolves to penetrate the mysteries of life and death and wrest from nature the secret of creation. After prolonged study he succeeds and discovers how to impart movement and animation to lifeless matter. He then resolves to mold a colossal man, making him beautiful in form and feature and imbue him with life. He carries on his work in a studio far from the habitations of man, labors long and secretly, and at last the worfcc Is completed. There in the great room lies the form and semblance of a human being, perfect In all his proportions. Frankenstein relates the story: "It was on a dreary night in November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony I collected the instruments of life around me that I might infuse a spark of being into

the lifeless thing that lay at my feet "It was already 1 o'clock in the morning. The rain pattered dismally against the window panes and my candle was nearly burned out when, by the glimmer of the half extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open. It breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Slowly the immense creature arose, and the artist, frightened at his own work, fled away. Then he returns to find his creation possessed of life and every attribute of humanity except a soul. Nowhere can it lind human sympathy. It is out of harmony with all things about it, and after searching the world in pursuit of happiness it returns again to Frankenstein and demands that he make a companion with whom it can live in sympathy and love. Frankenstein declines, and thenceforth the monster pursues him with hatred and revenge. It slays his brothers and sister, his friend and his bride. It follows him to Russia, to Siberia and into the Arctic ocean, and there creature and artist perish together. It is a most uncanny story to read o' nights. Sir Walter Scott reviewed the novel In the Quarterly, but. while admitting its power, confessed he did not like it.

"Our taste and our judgment revolt at this kind of writing." All the critics agreed as to its daring originality. Exchange.

Any boy or girl under the ages stipulated who commits any of these acts shall he deemed a delinquent child and may be proceeded against by law in such manner as provided for prosecution or pprsons charged with misdemeanors. The section of the statute under which Stegall is charged provides that any person who knowingly permits, contributes or encourages any child to be guilty of any vicious or immoral conduct shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be tried for such offense. Upon conviction he shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $.")i0 or imprisoned in the county jail not to exceed six months. Study's Objections. .Mr. Study argued that the statute is so broad and general in its provisions that a person who may happen to hear a reputation that is not of the best can not do an act of kindness

even toward a child. "Why a man with a bad reputation could not take a child to church without contributing to its delinquencies," said Mr. Study, lie contended that there is no possibility for a person of bad reputation to associate with his own children and endeavor to teach them the proper kind of a life to lead without at

the same time contributing to their

delinquency. Ho asserted tlie affi

davit is in error because it does not

show, the child has done anything viciods or immoral.

The prosecutor held the affidavit to

he valid, inasmuch as it charges the man himself ks of a vicious and immoral character and had encouraged

acts of delinquency on the part of the

girl. Judge Fox held the statute has re

siiik'ij in mi lnnivmuai opinion, it. was

proclaimed that the part making children delinquents and subject to prosecution for petty affairs as enum

erated overreaches the intent of the law. It is declared to be a blanket statute created by some person of mistaken ideas. The judge held error was made when the meaning of viciuos and immoral as used in the statute indicated individual consideration and not the general acceptance of the term. He said any person might charge some other of different beliefs with being vicious and immoral and enter prosecution.

No Doubt on That Point. At school during the nature study hour one of the brightest little fellows in his class was asked by the teacher to name three cold blooded animals. After a moment's hesitation he said. "A polar bear, a walrus and a seal.' The teacher smiled and said, "Johnny, this time you did not get it quite right, but perhaps you can tell me three minerals." "Oh, yes," came the quick reply, "vichy. seltzer and ginger ale."
