Umps Musser. the veteran indicator handler of this fair city, started in at the opening to hold down the job of master of ceremonies but as his decisions on bases and on balls and strikes was alleged to be, by both teams, very much to the sandpaper he was requested to retire early in the contest. With the score 4 to 0 in favor of Beallview at the close of the fifth New Madison put two runs across in the sixth and tied up the contest in the eighth. In the tenth two orangehue d errors on high flies by the Jiv Madison players permitted Kuhlenbeck to scamper home with the winning count. Summary:

Milton Team Hands Lemon. Out a The Little Giants were the losers in the contest with the Milton and surrounding towns team at Capital Hill park yesterday afternoon. Score 7-1. The pitching of Murley for the visitors was too strong for the home boys. Numerous errors on the part of the Giants was also a great aid to their defeat. This is the second losing game that they have played this season.

Cambridge City, Ind., June 1". It was a tern Die revenge that the Krell French bunch took on the Grays at New Castle yesterday afternoon, for the defeat that Cambridge handed them last Sunday. They were able to amass five runs to the Grays none. The contest was most interesting from beginning to end and the final score should have been :M, but for some rank decisions on the part of Umpire Watkins. Boyd and Lacy were opponents on the mound and both pitched a fine game. The Krell-French outfit simply had the horse shoes with it in a batting way. and it seemed that whenever it hit the ball the sphere went to safe territory, while with the Grays, the men placed their hits right in the fielders' hands. New Castle men had the best batting eyes and therefore won the game. In the third frame Lacy grounded to Connor safe. Cummlne flied out to Shiverdecker. Lacy stole second. Ritter grounded to Shiverdecker, out. Fiant grounded to right for two bags, scoring Lacy. Anderson grounded to left, Fiant scored, for three bags and was out at home. There was nothing more doing in the scoring line until the seventh, when Ritter slammed a hot grounder to left for two bags, scoring Cummins, who had walked and stole second. Fiant hit to right for two bags, scoring Ritter. Kehoe sent a hot grounder to right and was safe, Fiant scoring Hamilton, then flied out to Caldwall and retired the side. The defeat of the Grays reflected no discredit on their ability to play the game. It was generally remarked by the Flower City admirers of the sport, that this was the best game ever witnessed in that city.

TAFT-ROOSEVELT PLATFORM WILL GO AS IT IS (Continued From Page One.) is known as "a good working majority." In fact, it will be large enough for the Taft people to put through unabridged and unamended, any platform they might decide upon, and the minority would be helpless. But no plan of this kind is contemplated. The Taft managers are anxious for a platform with which they can win, and after insisting on certain things which they consider necessary to success most of which there is no real difference of opinion about are desirous of getting the best thought of the party in the framing of what is considered the most important platform the party has put out since the one on which Lincoln was nominated in 1S. The one of 1S!H had only one leading feature the gold plank but the one of 1908 will have a number. Postal Savings Bank Plank. The postal savings bank plank received a good deal of attention yesterday afternoon at a number of the conferences which were held in Mr. Ellis" room at the Annex. Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was also a visitor to talk over the labor planks, it is these labor planks particularly the anti-injunction one, which are making the most trouble. There is opposition to a postal savings banl. plank, but it is scattering. There do-s not seem to be any organization to it. The bankers, who are naturally the most directly interested, have up Vj date shown no desire to mix up. aid nobody else is interfering except lu a general way. But a considerable number of the more conservative members of the party think that postal savings banks would be a bad thing. It is a certainty the democratic platform will have a postal savings bank plank in it. The feeling is the republican party will have to acknowledge this popular demand and accede to it Flood of Planks Then Due. The committee on resolutions will be appointed tomorrow afternoon immediately after Senator Burrows of

Michigan finishes his speech as temporary chairman of the convention. It will adjourn at once to the Auditorium Annex, where its session will be held. After its organization, meaning the election of Senator A. J. Hopkins of Illinois as chairman, with other necessary officers and attendants, there will be the time for anybody who has any kind of a plank he or she wants put in the platform to dump it on the committee. Then the chairman will be empowered to name a subcommittee which will carry off with it all matters which have been submitted to the main committee, and proceed to frame a platform. The remainder of the committee can go on lake trips or automobile riding until such a time, probably two days later, as the subcommittee is able to make a report to it.

FAMOUS BALLET DANCERS. Stories of I. a Taslloni. Fanar Klaaler and Lola. Mantra. It has been asserted that the grand ballet died when the famous TaglionI retired in 1845. At any rate, the ballet today is chiefly a spectacle of dress and colored limelight. Except for a very few performers, dancing as a high art has vanished. There is no one now to set beside La Taglioni, who was the queen of the stage. Balzac introduced her into ljls novels. Even Thackeray condescended to notice her and declared enthusiastically in "The Xewcomes" that the "young men of the day will never see anything so graceful as Taglioni in 'La Sylphide.' " At that time she was the rage. Stagecoaches and greatcoats were named after her. La Taglioni owed her charm to a wonderful lightness and grace. Her style was rather ideal than realistic and voluptuous, as was then the vogue. The hideous ballet skirt of today she never wore, but a skirt that reached nearly to her ankles. It was one of the principles of her father, who taught her all she learned of the art, that the dancer should be modest in dress, in movement and in expression. Another famous master, who called himself "Le Dieu de la Danse," always told his pupils to use all the coquetry they could. Vestris, who founded the famous Vestris family, was an eighteenth century celebrity and quite remarkably conceited even for a daucer. "There are but three great men alive," he used to say, "myself, the Frussian Frederick and Voltaire." (It is interesting to compare Southey's remark that a male dancer deserves to be hamstrung.) That profession of which he was so proud is indeed an arduous one. Vestris used to practice for about six hours a day. A dancer must be extremely strong and supple. A curious story is told about Fanny Elssler, a German dancer with coal black hair, which illustrates the extreme muscular strength a dancer requires. She was crossing to America when she entered her cabin one day and discovered a thief abstracting the jewel case which she kept hidden under her pillow. Before he could attack her she planted her foot full in his chest and killed him on the spot. It is curious that no Englishwoman has ever achieved supreme success as a dancer. It is possible, as foreigners assert, that they lack the dramatic gift. It is certain that a lifelong devotlou and arduous apprenticeship are essential to any expression through the medium of dancing. The "rats," the beginners at the Taris Opera, are articled for five years, and then, unless they have danced from their cradle, they cannot hope to attain the first rank. Another quality essential to the great dancer is infinite patience. The only English dancer who ever gave promise of attaining the front rank failed in this respect. Lola Montez was the somewhat foreign name she had taken. She lost her temper one day with the manager at rehearsal and expressed her feelings so dramatically as to break an umbrella over his head. Managers will endure much for art's sake, but this was too much. Carlotta Grisl is another famous name of the old opera. It was she who first introduced the polka into England a Bohemian dance that came to stay. It was for her, too, that Heine, Gautier and Adolphe Adam collaborated in writing "Giselle." There were a score more famous names that were familiar words in those days. Of the twelve leading dancers engaged at the King's theater in 1824 for a two months' season five were a sufficient attraction to receive more than 1,000 each. London Mail. A Terrible Vanishment. Herr Hager, a wealthy and absentminded banker who lived in Berlin many years ago, frequently had watches picked from his pocket. At first he bad recourse to all kinds of safety chains; then one fine moraine he took no precaution whatever and quietly allowed himself to be robbed. At night, on returning from business, he took np the evening paper, when he uttered an exclamation of delight. A watch had exploded in a man's hands. The hands of the victim were shattered and the left eye gone. The crafty banker had filled the watch case with dynamite. which exploded during the operation of winding.

THE SURGEON'S TOOLS

AS FEW A9 POSSIBLE USED BY THE MODERN PRACTITIONER. To Remove aa Appendix, Far Inatanee, He Can Carry Everytltln Keceaaary In One of Hla Poeketa. Hand Forged Ioitrnmrnti the Beat. "A surgeon used to carry a bag of instruments weighing often as much as twenty-five pounds when he was called to operate," said a member of the staft of the New York Postgraduate Medical School and Hospital the other day. "Today an average operation, such as the removal of an appendix, calls for no more instruments than can be carried in the pockets. "I have just come," continued the doctor, "from removing an appendix, and here in this small package are all the instruments I used a scissors, two artery clamps, two forceps and a needle. Many operations, of course gastroenteric, gynecological and those that have to do with bones require more instruments, but modern science demands the use of as few as possible in order that time may be saved. Skill and haste are prime factors in an operation, la the old days, before anaesthesia was known, this was to shorten the patient's agony as much as possible. After ether was discovered surgeons for awhile operated more leisurely, but soon finding out that the shock to the patient remaining under ether so long was always dangerous and often fatal they again recognized the importance of swiftness. Diminishing the number of instruments was one of the methods for saving time. In the operating room in the old days there was always, no matter what the operation, a good sized table laid out with ten or fifteen score of instruments, fifty artery clamps, scissors, forceps and lancets by the dozen. It used to take over an hour to remove an appendix; today the average is about twelve minutes. "The variety of instruments increases every year as surgeons meet with new needs or solve old problems. In our school here, as In others, many instruments have been devised. Especially to those having to do with the eye, ear, nose and throat have we made valuable additions as well as in the field of orthopedic appliances. The Hippocratic oath precludes the patenting of any such inventions; consequently all instruments are free to be made by all and every Burglcal manufactory." The making of surgical instruments In the United States is nearly contemporaneous with the beginning of the republic, aud one or two of the prominent firms today date from long before the civil war. In no country are finer instruments made than in the United States. Though the number of men employed is small, every man is a skilled laborer and an artist, with an adroitness often as fine as that of a journeyman jeweler, capable of making even the most delicate of the great variety of instruments, amounting to about 10,000, which a surgical house must keep in stock or be ready to produce upon order. Cast and drop forged instruments have no lasting value, and once the edge Is worn off they can never be satisfactorily resharpeued. The process which they undergo demands that they be brought three times to a white beat. The first time the steel becomes tempered; the second and third time it becomes decarbonized and loses its temper, the result being an instrument with a shell of bard steel, capable of taking a fair edge, but beneath which the metal is soft and unfit to stand honing. "All good instruments are hand forged. Thus prices are doubled and trebled over the prices of cast instruments because of the skilled labor and time necessary to their construction. The workman in a careful factory must make a study of his work and learn the physical qualities of the steel or metal he works with, Its strength and cutting and tension qualities. General operating instruments . re made of steel, silver, platinum, gold and aluminium. German steel, owing to Its tenacity, is used for forceps and blunt instruments; English cast steel for edged tools, as it receives a high temper, a fine polish and retains its edge. Silver when pure is very flexible and is useful for catheters, which require frequent change of curve. When mixed with other metals, as coin silver, it makes firm catheters, caustic holders and cannulated work. Seamless silver instruments are least liable to corrode. Tlatinum resists the action of acids and ordinary heat and is useful for caustic holders, actual cauteries and the electrodes of the galvano cautery. Gold, owing to its ductility, is adapted for fine tubes, such as eye syringes and so forth, while aluminium is by its extreme lightness suitable for probes, styles and tracheotomy tubes. "Handles are made of ebony, Ivory, pearl or hard rubber. Ebony and rubber are used for large Instruments, though these at times have handles of steel. Ivory makes a durable and beautiful handle, though it and ebony are not entirely aseptic, because It Is impossible to boil them for the purpose of sterilization without their cracking. Ivory and pearl are used for scalpels and for small instruments like those used In operating on the eye. On the whole, the best material for handles is hard rubber, since it may be vulcanized on the instrument, thus making it practically one piece, with no possible seam for the lodging of germs and hence perfectly safe. "Next to the materials the mode of making determines the instrument's quality. Steel overheated in the forge Is brittle or rotten. In shaping with the file the form may be destroyed. In hardening and tempering the steel may be spoiled. In every stage the aloe of the instrument depends upon the skill applied." New York Post. Not Reading Matter. A merchant of a certain town In Illinois one day entered the office of the editor of the only newspaper In the place. He was in a state of mingled excitement and indignation. "Ill not pay a cent for advertising this week." he exclaimed. "You told me you would put the notice of my special sale In with the reading matter." "And didn't I do It r asked the editor, with reassuring suavity. "No, you didntr came from the irate merchant. "You put it in the column with a lot of poetry, that's where you put itr

CONVENTION MOVING SURELY TOWARD TAFT (Continued From Page One.)

Hughes delegates before the National committee. Among the first of the .arge bodies to arrive today were: North and South Dakota delegations, led by Jos. L. Green, national committeeman, who announced himself and delegation for Taft and for Congressman J. S. Sherman, of New York, for vice president: the Blaine marching club, 3oO strong, of Cincinnati, with Julius Flelschman, Boss" Cox, wives and brass band; and ;he Kentucky delegation. The Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas delegates arrived on a special car. Captain Lars Anderson and contingent, from Detroit, arrived on a special tar; the Albany delegation, on special train and the Americus Marching club of Pittsburg are here. Marching Clubs Mix Up. The Americus club and the Blaine club, marched into each other's arms, but not like brothers, about ! o'clock. The Cincinnatlans were going south and the Pittsburgers north. At Adams street they met. it became apparent that somebody would have to move, and as the Cincinnati marchers had white plug hats and long "Prince Alberts" and looked more distinguished, tae police made the Pittsburg walkers turn down Adams street amid loud cheers and not a few sarcastic remarks from the victorious Ohioians. C. P. Taft and Wade Ellis, who are members of the Blaine club, met their fellow townsmen with their insignia white hats and black suits. They brought barrels labeled "Taft enthusiasm" and every marcher carried a bungstarter. Indiana Club to Come. Mayor A. A. Bookwalter, of Indianapolis, came after the rest of the Indiana delegation had arrived. Tomorrow the Marion marching club, the flower of Indianapolis republicanism, will come. Governor Andrew L. Harris, of Ohio, was discovered late in the day, at the Great Northern hotel, where he registered with the Blaine club. He said that there would be no stampede to Roosevelt that it was "All Taft." The delegations from South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Utah and the north counties of Wisconsin have also arrived and got settled. Old Warrior Present. With the South Carolina delegation came D. H. Kanipe, last survivor of the Custer massacre of 1877. Also there came scores of detectives, sent to Chicago by police chiefs in all the large cities. They arrived from New York, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Denver, New Orleans, Minneapolis and other cities and were assigned by Chief of Detectives O'Brien to the hotels and railroad stations. Each was on watch for crooks from his home town. The list of distinguished men that the convention has brought to Chicago is appalling. If an earthquake were to wipe out our fair city and its contents there would hardly be enough genius and greatness left in this nation to wad a shot gun. Here is a brief list of the distinguished men in the city: Chatincey M. DePew, Henry Taft, Melville W. Fuller. Senator Julius C. Burrows, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Elmer Dover, Senator Chester Long, Senator Borah, Timothy L. Woodruff, Congressman S. E. Payne, C. N. Bliss, Lucius N. Littauer, Henry S. New, Geo. Ade, Governor J. Frank Hanly, former Governor Franklin Murphy, Gov. Curtis Guild, Jas. S. Sherman, John Hays Hammond, "Nick" Longworth, Seth Low and "Sherbie" Becker. Princess Alice Attends. Congressman Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Longworth reached Chicago today to attend the republican convention. By appearing on a train other than that which they were expected to take, the notables eluded a throng of the curious who wished to see "Princess" Alice. They were driven at once to the home of Medill McCorCole, Columbus and Columbia

Perkins, chairman of the Iowa State delegation, today announced that he had a letter from Senator Dolliver to the effect that he would not under any circumstances accept the vice-presidential nomination. "And, if in your judgment the talk becomes serious." Senator Dolliver said in his letter, "I give you authority to withdraw my name." This is taken as absolute assurance that Senator Dolllver's name will not be permitted to go before the convention. Indiana Delegates Organize. Indiana delegates today elected the following chairmen at their caucus: Chairman of delegation. Senator A. J. Beveridge; committee on resolutions, Senator Hemenway; credentials committee, C. A.
