Boston, April lO.-Jn addition to the Industrial classes Tor girls in the regiilar day elementary schools, Boston ha now In full operation two more advanced schools for girls who sooner tr later expect to take up wine industrial pursuit. These are known as the Girl' Trade school mid the high Mliool for the practical arts. The Girls' Trade school Is eondueted for the purpose of giving u trade training to girl between the ages of fourteen! und eighteen year, who nre obliged to become wage earners. It does not matter how far a girl lias progressed in the elementary srhools. The principal in charge selects from the number of applicant those only who are moht likely to to be able to satisfaetorily complete the course. There are four ilit Inct courses given at this school: Dressmaking, millinary, vtruw machine operating and clothing machine operating.

name as found in outside shops and

factories. The prices are the same ' n charged in the belter Fhops and the quality of workmanship must lie as high. Thua In the school the girls must meet the same high conditions that the afterward meet outside. The J school begins In September, when the other ((schools begin. It requires about u year for a girl to reach a satisfactory standard of proficiency. The high school of practical arts has Inside of four years outgrown its quarters twice jind at present cannot meet the demand made by hundreds of girl for admission. This achool waa started four yearB ago under discouraging conditions, In the Lyceum Hall building. Meeting house hill. It had an entering class of seventylive members ami five instructors. There are now about seven hundred pupils In the Sarah .1. Maker school, Roxbury, and Lyceum Hall building, Meetinghouse hill, and the corps of Instructors considerably augmented.

PATIENCE, MR. FAN

Just a Few More Hours and Its "Play Ball." (American News JScrvlcc) New York, April 10. Only a few hours more and the impatient baseball fan can pass through the turnstile and take his seat in the bleachers. He fore the end of this wees the championship races will be on in both the major leagues and in a number of the minor organizations. Wednesday will be the opening day for the National and American league. In the National league the Mrooklyn club will play the Boston team on the Jatter's grounds: the champion White Sox will entertain St. !uls; Philadelphia will, play the (Hants at the I'olo Grounds; and Pittsburg will play at Cincinnati. The Chicago White Sox will play the Detroit club at Detroit; Cleveland will play at St. Imis; Boston at Washington and New York at Piilhidelobia. The opening day in the big leagues will also see the start of the pennant race in the American Association. For the initial contests in this organi Zatlon. Milwaukee Is scheduled To play at Indianapolis; Kansas City at louisville; St. Paul at Columbus; and Minneapolis at Toledo. The Southern league will get under way Saturday, witli Mobile playing at New Orleans; Montgomery at Birniingham: Cliiittanooga at Atlanta; and Nashville at Memphis. BASEBALL CHATTER First baseman Hunter, secured from Kansas City by Pittsburg, Is making good with a vengeance and Manager Clark of the Pirates finds himself in the enviable position of having two first baseman in Hunter and Flynn who can hit the ball. Hunter will likely start the season on the bag, but he will have to go at a good clip to keep Flynn off the team. Should he keep up his present pace, however, Flynn will be used as a catcher and pinch hitter, for he is showing up well with the stick in the exhibition games, and while he has not caught in several years he lias all the earmarks of being u first-class backstop. There Is gloom in Cincinnati over the fact that the Hods have twice been defeated by the Highlanders. So much was expected of dark Griffith's team this year that the games with the New York Americans were figured certain victories, but the result of the games shows the Reds have been outclassed. Naturally, Griffith was an xious to score over his old team, and his falling to do so has not only been a severe blow to his ambition, but it has set the fans to thinking whether or not the Cincinnati team really has a chance to be a contender in the coming pennant race. President Frank Navin of the Detroit base ball club was In Indianapolis to straighten out the differences between Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford, Detroit's two star outfielders, and restore harmony between these players. Cobb and Crawford have not spoken to each other for a long time as a result of some trouble they had last season. It was thought that the long winter months would erase this difficulty and the two players would get together t his spring, but they did not speak when they met. Navin had a long heart-to-heart talk with the two beligerent players and he believes they will now get together. Harry Wolter's injured arm is about all right again, but how he can break Into the Hilltop line-up, with Birdie Cree going as he is, is a mystery. It was Birdie who started the run getting that brought that second victory to the New Yorks, and Birdie can hit them hard when he meets them. But It will depend on the style of pitcher who works. With a right hander it may be that Daniels will be left on the bench and Wolter placed in the outfield,, and Hemphill will rest when a southpaw is on the mound. It makes no difference, though. All are wonders at the bat and on the bases, and in the field only a ball hit over the fence will get away from them. "Lena" Blackburn, the White Sox shortstop was drydocked. and a floating cartilege removed from one of his knees. Blackburne is expected to be able to play ball again in a month or six weeks. His injured knee handicapped him all last season. Senor Jiminiz. the Havana base ball magnate, is going to visit this country the coming summer and attend the games in several big league cities to get ointcrs. The season in Havana was not a big success the past winter. Kid Eberfield is evidently training to go on the vaudeville stage next winter, instead of hibernating on his farm.' If he pulls off that trick of catching the ball from the top of the Washington monument without a thick glove he will get the necessary press notices. Fred Clarke will never become a bench manager, according to his wife, Mrs. Clarke v.auts her husband to retire from the field and coach the ball players from the bench, but admits there is little chance of the Pirate doing any such thing. "Clarke just cannot sit on the bench and look at a game in which Pittsburg is playing." says she. "Every time he has ever tried this he came home with a headache. The tension Is too great for him. and I am afraid he intends to keep on playing." Polo! Polo! Elwood vs. Richmond. Reserved seats on sale at West cot t Pharmacy. Game called at 8 :30. 10 :t

They have, slipped their clutches into high gear and are "going some." There will be all manner of outdoor sports, water contests, fire works, and many interesting things which are not ready for public knowledge. The Exiles will take their special trains for home at the State Fair Grounds, only a few miles from the farm. In case of rain the activities of the day will be focused in the Coliseum at the Fair Grounds. A handsome invitation book of thirty-two "pages is being printed at Indianapolis under the direction of Charles A. Bookwalter.

The books will be furnished free. A WOMAN RESCUED AS HOMRNED Airs. George Kolan, 111 of Tuberculosis, Had a Very Narrow Escape. Palladium East Germantown, Special) Ind., April 10. With flames enveloping almost the entire house and smoke pouring forth like a volcano, Mrs. George Kolan. who has been critically ill with tuberculosis for some time, was carried from her bed in the burning house by neighbors and taken to a place of safety. The fire which originated about 0:30 o'clock Monday morning from a defective stove pipe, almost totally destroyed the house in which the Kolans lived. Only a few of the household effects were saved. No insurance was carried either on the property. which 'was owned by- Mrs. Susan Ryland, or on the household goods. The house was located south of the heart or the town ana for a time it seemed that the entire village was in danger of destruction. Several houses surrounding the Kolan home were set afire and it was only by prompt and strenuous work on the part of the residents that the blazes were extinguished and the fire kept from spreading. A book dated 1759 contains a description and illustration of a fountain pen.

IS A MOTHER OF 21 Wood Dove, Wife of Indian Chief, Head of Tribe.

New York, April Big chief Leieheka, a full-blood Cherokee, he says, his squaw and one of their sons went to the Yorkville police court to appeal for justice against one John Morris, who uplifted a shovel against the squaw in a quarrel among children in. front of the house where the Indians live at 699 Second avenue. Wood xashvillo Tenn dated ;pril 30, 190s, I read: "To his eveellency Theodore Roosevelt, President: The bearer of this, Mary Lehan, the mother of twenty-one children, must have received her inspiration from some exalted source. She is a fit subject for commendation," The chief explained that on his travels he used the name of Lehan. Of his children fifteen were girls and six boys. The youngest pappoose is six years old, a girl. There were letters from Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma; Governor Shallenberger, of Nebraska; Governor Cutler of Utah; Governor Patterson, of Tennessee; Governor Gatens. of Oregon; Governor Wheelock, of Minnesota, and Mayor Hiram H. Edgerton. of Rochester. The fast was dated February 13, 1911. The chief said he intended to go to 'Oyster Bay. He makes baskets and silver ornaments, and his wife reads heads, that is, she practices phrenology. The squaw wanted the court to punish the defendant Morris for raising a shovel when she was defending her youngest pappoose from the snowballing of other children. Morris lives in the same house and some of his children were in the snowballing party. The only grievance Morris had against the Indians was that there were so many of them. "I counted twenty-four of them in the basement," he said, and added that he did not intend to assault the woman. On his promise not to annoy the Indians in the future the complaint was dismissed.

LIBERTY LOVERS ' SEND AMEMORIAL Asking Congress to Let Mexican Rebels Alone An Economy Epidemic.

Washington, April 10. Senator Culberson of Texas presented in the senate today a memorial signed by five hundred "liberty loving" citizens of El Paso, requesting the government not to interfere with the revolution in Mexico. Gronna of North Dakota presented a memorial protesting against the reciprocity agreement. Representative Clark of Florida created excitement in the house by moving abolishment of many positions, mostly assistant clerks and stenographers, to effect the saving of $30.000 annually. He said the committees had no more use for these employes than a "hog has for side pockets." It was referred to a committee. Much opposition will be encountered because the house ways and means committee has already abolished $182,000 in house patronage. Outlook for the Week. Both houses of congress during the coming week will do little more than mark time pending the organization of the committees and the starting of the complete legislative machinery. The committee on committees of both parties in the senate will probably require all of the week in which to satisfactorily arrange assignments to the satisfaction of the two factions in each party. There are progressives among the Demorcats as well as among the Republicans. The Lorimer case and Senator Lafollelte s speech are the biggest events in sight. Senator Raynor is booked for a speech on the relations of this government to Mexico and Japan. It is not the purpose of the Maryland senator to criticise the president for the military activity along the Mexican border Mr. Rayner will show, from his point of view, that the Monroe doctrine is not involved in the Mexican question in any way. Senator Young, of Iowa, probably will speak on "Representative American government." Chairman Mann, of the Republican minority hopes to have his list of committee assignments completed by Wednesday. In that event he will submit them to Mr. Underwood and the house then will be organized and ready for business. It is believed that before the end of the week one or more of the tariff bills may be in: troduced and referred to the committee on ways and means. Meanwhile if the plans of the house managers go through the constitutional amendment for direct election of senators, the admission of Arizona and Mexico, a reapportionment bi'.l, and a campaign publicity measure will be pushed rapidly, and sent on their way to the senate. The Number Nine. There were nine earths, according to mediaeval cosmogony, nine heavens, nine rivers of hell and nine orders of angels. The number being perfection since it represented divinitj was of ten used to signify a great quantity, as in the phrases. "A nine days' wonder," "A cat has nine lives" and "Nine tailors make a man." In Scotland a distempered covr was cured by washing her in nine sfcrfs. To see nine magpies was considered extremely lucky Nine knots made in a black woolen thread served as a charm in the case of a sprain. It was also believed and is still by some that if a servant girl finds nine green peas in one pod and lays them cn the window sill the first man that enters will be her beau. Nine grains of wheat laid on a four leaved clover enables one, it is said, to see the fairies. The Curse of Genius. The somber, long haired, seedy looklng man was speaking in a voice of rolling thunder. "A million times a million fateful curses sit balefully athwart his hateful head of tow! Through the gloomy eons may his black soul flit homeless forever!" "Off his balance, I suppose?" observed the stranger. "Oh. no," said Smith; "that's Rimer, the well known poet, swearing at the editor who rejected his verses." Puck. No Practical Difference. "1 made a mistake." said young Mrs. Torkius. "and picked up my locket instead of the little gold watch you gave me." "Xever mind. replied her husband. "The only difference is that the watch doesn't tell time and the locket doesn't even pretend to." Washington Star. Knew What They Were. Examiner Well, my good boy, can you tell me what vowels are?

REPORTS MADE TO THE MAYOR TODAY Various Officials Tell of their Work at the Meeting of the Cabinet.

No cattle have been tuberculin tested since last fall among the dairymen that furnish milk to consumers in Richmond, according to the report of Hairy Inspector Charles Flook, made ;at a meeting of the mayor's cabinet this morning. Flook says the dairyjmen are against the tuberculin test. ;They found, he said, that those dairy- ! men having the test made, get no Imore for their milk than dairymen : who do not have the test made, i The report said that there a few sick cattle among the dairy herds, but these have been quarantined, and their milk is not being used. The illness is of a minor nature. During the last month 29 samples of milk have been tested and only three found below standard. In two cases the regular dairy supply was satisfactory but a law standard milk had been sold to the dairymen by farmers. One was a restaurant case. . Mr. Flook stated the restaurant troubles usually resulted from carelessness of waiters, who dipped xip the milk without first mixing it with the cream. He said "the first, customer draws pure cream and the last a very inferior quality of skimmed milk." Richmond consumes about 1,035 gallons of milk per day. Flook's report was a complete one and a pleasant contrast to the usual reports received in the mayor's cabinet meeting. In Street Commissioner D. C. Genn's report, he said that two sections of road, one between the Hawkins ice pond and Nineteenth street bridge, and the other between the Twelfth street hill and bridge, are the worst in Wayne county. He mentioned that both were within the city and he demanded that the board order their repair. In wet weather, Mr. Genn claimed, tire streets are nearly impassable. Council at a recent meeting asked that something be done on the Nineteenth street road. It was taken under ad visement. Council wanted the road cindered, but Genn derisively said. 'you might as well put the cinders in the river." The sanitary Inspector, Henry Scherb, reported that contagion is in the city as folows: Diphtheria, 2; Scarlet Fever. 2; Measles, 14; Smallpox, 2 ;and Chicken pox, 2. Unless Alphons Collett, a saloon keeper, who secured a liquor license for $200, before council had raised the city fee to $250, pays the $50 additional due on his license, his privilege to keep a saloon will be taken away. Three saloonists received city licenses at $200, but all paid the additional $50 but Collett. Superintendent William W'liitacre, of the crematory, reported that ho needed another man at the crematory because of the increasing business. Ho will probably be granted this request. DIDN'T WASTE WORDS. The Stoical Mountaineer Simply An ewered the Question. "For . stoical indifference and taciturnity," said a young man from Knoxvllle, Tenn., who was visiting in Louisville a few days ago, "I never saw any one that could equal the Kentucky mountaineer, "Two years ago I was camping during the summer with a party of young men and women In the mountains. During our stay there we became acquainted with an old mountaineer whom we called Sam. lie always referred to his wife as Maria, and we fell into the same habit "Last year we returned to the same place to camp. Aa we were going up the mountain path on our first day out we met Sam walking along apparently in a deep study. " 'Hello, Samr we all called. 'Where's Maria?' "She's comln' back there." be said, directing his thumb backward orer his shoulder. "We went on up the mountain path and a short distance farther came upon a party of mountaineers transporting a dead body in a rickety wagon. It was a funeral party. Imagine our surprise when we were Informed that the deceased was Maria. Sam had not thought it worth his pains to inform us that Maria was dead when he stated she was 'eomla' back there.' " Louisville Times.
