LAW LIBRARY III HEED OF MONEY eBBsisoP Court Tells ' Attorneys Some Have Been Negligent in Paying Their Dues.

TREASURY IS DEPLETED. . ANNOUNCEMENT MADE UNLESS SOURCE OF REVENUE INCREASED, ADDITIONAL BOOKS CANNOT BE SECURED. The condition of the Wayne county law library is so bad that unless a reorganization of he library association takes place and arrangements made to provide' funds, the securing of books wjll have to be stopped. Judge Fox called the attention of the attorneys to the subject this morning. Several members have been very negligent and failed to pay, their dues. The result has been a depleted treasury and consequently there is no money with which to purchase new volumes. The court was quite pointed in his remarks and declared the delinquencies must be attended to at once. One member of the association offered to cell his stock at a sacrifice. Other members disapprove of this attitude. The law library In this county is one of the finest and largest in the state. It is maintained by the attorneys, who own stock and pay annual dues. A number of members has neglected to pay its dues, but continued to make use of the books. This procedure is objected to. A called meeting of the association will be held tomorrow at which time come decision wl3 be reached. Judge Fox is president of the organization and A. M. Gardner, secretary and treasurer.

Count Taverne, president of the Italian Red Cross society, to whom Ambassador. Griscom presented $70,000 from the American Red Cross, said the project was one to be greatiy commended i and he expressed the most grateful sentiments toward - America and Americans for the aid they had sent and still are sending. The government has decided to Increase by one-tenth the more important taxes for some years to come un til such of the towns destroyed by the earthquake which can be reconstruct ed are built. The chamber .will be called together at an early date to vote on the project Opposition is al ready being shown to the proposal to bury Messina forever under a stratum t quicklime. Would Rebuild Messina. It is pointed out that even if MesBlna should, from a legal point of view, be regarded as a cemetery, according Ho existing law the government could not prevent the bodies from being disinterred at the'evd of ten years. The proprietors of the ground on which the ruined houses were built can refuse to abandon it, and the survivors, aided , by the Btate and by the charity of the world, would rebuild "Messina. Pom peii and Herculaneum remained under a layer of lava, it is true, but then ' they always had above them the men . ace of Vesuvius. On. the other hand, (he people soon forget an earthquake . Deputy Santo Llquido, director general of public ; health, who is at the head of the work of rescue and disln fectlon in Sicily and Calabria, said last night: "All the sick and wounded are be Ing removed from Messina and Regglo. There is, therefore, no danger for the soldiers and sailors at work in clean ing away the ruins and getting out the bodies. When there are no longer any survivors the work of removing bodies can be carried on without fear. There la. therefore, no necessity to cover the city with quicklime, or even ahan don It There is no reason for considering it as a deadly center from which those who approach it would contract disease.'; yi:y--.'--."Messina could certainly be rebuilt I . have proved by my investigations and my statements have "been admitted to be true, that the soil of cemeteries Is more healthy than that of large cities, and that if they are kept at a distance from towns it is not from reasons of hygiene, but for reasons of sentiment There is no doubt that, as far as public health is concerned, Mes sina could be rebuilt" Deputy Santo Linuido added that thousands of , tons . of quicklime, hun dreds of chloride ot lime and several tons of lysol have already been sent to Messina. .' ."

A BASEBALL WODDER. 'Old Hoss" Radbourne, Greatest of All Pitchers.

THE HERCULES OF THE GAUE His Marvelous Fsat of Pluck, Strength and Endurance That Won tho Pennant For Providonco In 1884 A Record In Games Won. Pitchers may come and pitchers may go, but the name of "Old Hoss Radbourne goes on forever. I have talked to many great ball players who have lamented to me the fact that baseball fame Is so ephemeral that It was not worth the gaining, and, while no doubt this is in a great measure true, there Is one pitcher who has le?t a name that promises to roll on for many, many years. Each year hundreds ot pitchers claim attention of the world, and each year they are promptly forgotten. But Illinois produced .a man who, although now years deceased, has, a brighter name than any of the great multitude. In the great campaign of 1S84, when the Providence club, then a member of the National league, was fighting n bitter game with Philadelphia, a catastro phe occurred that seemingly would j disrupt its chances of winning the pensant. A player named Sweeney, who was pitching, was ordered to go into rtgbt field to change places with "Cyclone" Miller. At that time It was not permissible to take a pitcher out of the game. Whereupon Sweeney promptly walked out of the game, lecvlng the team with only eight men and with one pitcher, Charles Radbourne. Two men tried to cover the Old, with the result that Providence was completely snowed under. A meeting of the directors was held to decide whether or not the club should be disbanded. Certainly a professional team wss never in a sorrier plight Radbourne was approached and the proposition put to him. "I can win It II right," said he quietly and in a matter of fact tone. And then followed the most remarkable bsttle for a pennant that the world has ever seen. Had bourne established a record that has never been equaled, one that will live when more expensive contests will have been blissfully forgotten. Of twenty-seven consecutive games Radbourne won twenty-six. In four gsmes with Boston be had three shutouts, only one run was scored and only seventeen hits were made. This defeat was suf fered at the bands of Buffalo by a score of 2 to 0, and even then only five hits were made off him, showing that the defeat was not due to poor pitching. Needless to say. Providence won the pennant, or, rather. Rad bourne won the pennant, But the great player had to pay the price. No arm could stand the awful strain. without great agony. Morning after morning when Radbourne arose he could not lift his arm as high as his waist. He had to brush his balr with his left hand. But he did not give up the game. He would slip out to the park about two hours before the rest of the team put in an appearance and would begin the excruciating process of limbering up. He would pitch the ball only' a few feet when he would first go out. but he would keep on trying time after time, rubbing his arm with his left band. Sometimes his face would be drawn up Into contortions, but never a word1 of complaint left his Hps. . Half an hour before- the game was to begin the players would slip out to see how "Old Hoss" was getting along. They would sit silently on the bench, waiting for his arm to get Into condition. When be was able to throw from second to home base a rousing cheer would go up, for they knew that meant the winning of the game for them. Radbourne claimed for his home Bloomlngton. 111. After his great ttason with Providence managers all aver the country were upon his heels. Flattering offers poured In. and be was not under contract with Providence for tfte next season either. When the contest was over the late Ned Allen, preskleut of the team that season, sent for Radbourne. He laid the release before him and close beside it a blank contract. Radbourne looked at them both for several minutes and then slowly took up a pen and filled the blank eat for a sum only $2,000 higher than be had been getting and tore up the release. Allen almost fen on his neck and wept for Joy. Red bourne's last year In baseball was with Cincinnati in 1801. but it was a sad year. It seems a pity that the career of so great a ball player should cud so sadly. That year his work showed great deterioration, for the awful strain made in 1S84 was beginning to tell on his arm.

BOUNDING THE INFINITE. Are the Number ef Stars In Space Without Limit? now many stars are there? It Is not known, but most astronomers believe the number Is not unlimited. The argumeut Is that with an Infinite universe of stars the heavens would be , one uniform blaxe of light. The more distant stars sre, ot course, dimmer: some are too far away to affect the naked eye at all. but no matter bow slight the units an Infinite number of them would produce the effect described. As there Is no uniformly blazing sky, the number of stars, though possibly immensely great, must be limited. This argument Is supplemented In a recent astronomical paper by a similar one drawn from gravitation. Every star, no matter bow distant, exercises its own power of attraction n every other beaveuly body. Including our' earth. However, as the earth's center Is farther away from the attracting body . than its surface is, particles on the earth's surface sre attracted with greater force than those st the center, snd the practical result Is to lessen theforce with which the earth's mass Is held together. Now. if the number of stsrs Is Infinite, this decrease would be so great that weight on the earth would practically cease to exist. Moreover, the same conditions would prevail everywhere throughout a boundless universe and probably all masses would be disrupted. That this result does not cur Is a proof, we are told, that the number of heavenly bodies In existence is not Infinite. These argumeuts make certain as-' sumptions that may or may not be granted; they can neither be proved nor disproved. The argument from light as-' sumes that light waves are transmitted through space without loss: that from graritstion assumes that the same thins ! true for gravitational attraction. If light or gravitation is absorbed or lost In some way when passing from star to star, the number of stars may be Infinite after alL At its best the speculation Is more curious than con clusive.
