There are baseball farts and other kinds of fans. -

The hot weather fan is the boy who Isn't happy unless he's miserable watching the mercury climb in the thermometer these hot days. He is the chap who is not content to sit In the shade, but must gawk at a thermometer on the hotteBt corner in town and comment in long dissertations on the weather record. Perhaps everybody in the shop or office has made up his mind that it Is hot, but does not intend to let that worry him. Along comes the hot weather fan, that bore of July days, rushes to the thermometer,' and over to the nearest "neighbor with the tiding of great joy that It Is getting hotter. Of course, that's bound to cool the reBt of the office force. The hot weather fan is genuinely disappointed, in fact he's insulted, if his friends and neighbors do not gossip with him for fifteen minutes on the way the thermometer is rising and the sun is baking the streets and lawns. A lynching party for the hot weather fan would be too mild punishment. SEEK PERMISSION TO MARK TRAILS To get the permission of the city administration to mark that part of the National road which passes through the city, Mrs. Eliza Tarklngton Brigham and Mrs. Caleb S. Denny and eleven members of the Carolyn Scott chapter of the D. A. R. of Indianapolis conferred with Mayor Robblns and President Bavis of the board of works this afternoon at the city building. The organization proposes to mark all the old trails with the colors of the American flag, the red, white and blue stripes to be painted on the telephone and telegraph poles with the D. A. R. Insignia above. In the city they will ask the privilege of using especially colored globes at regular Intervals as part of the street lighting system. FIRES AT PROWLER IN NORTH END A north end resident fired at a prowler last night, but the shot .went wild and the Intruder escaped. An unknown man has been operating on North Twelfth street near the eight hundred block. Several times residents have been awakened by the man eneaklng through their houses but have never been able to capture him. Nothing has been missed but his prowling has' caused no little annoyance. People in the neighborhood have armed themselves with guns and have determined to protect their homes from these mysterious visits. CHARGE FACTORY OWNER FOR ARSON WATERBURY, Conn., July 24. A.

YEAR'S MELON CROP OF fINEST QUALITY Home Grown Product Prom ises to Excell Goods Ship ped From South. The sugar corn on the markets Is of excellent quality and there appears to be a large enough supply to meet the Bemand, so the price Is expected to drop considerably. At the present time, however, the best variety of su gar corn is selling at 20 cents a dozen Local grocers are having a hard time getting enough tomatoes to meet the demand. A small amount of tomatoes has appeared with poor prospects of any greater amount, as there is a scarcity in this part of the country. Peas and green beans are also scarce. Th dry weather several weeks ago is the chief cause of this scarcity. Melons this year are of the very best quality. At the present time, practl cally all the watermelons that are sold here come from Georgia. The quality is extra fine. They are selling from 25c to 50c each, according to'' siie. Home grown melons will not appear before August 1, but It is reported that the quality of the home grown melons is even better than the Georgian va riety. Cantaloupes are also of excellent quality. The season seems to have been advantageous to melons. The cantaloupes sold here now come most ly from Georgia, North Carolina and some from Indiana. Home grown can taloupes will appear on the markets next week. The Indiana melons are by far the best eating, as they have a better flavor than those grown In the South. There are some California melons sold here. Lima beans are expected next week. although there are none to be had now. A good local crop is reported. Home grown sweet potatoes appear this week and are not extra good in quality. They are selling for 20 cents a quarter peck. The supply of these tubers this year is not as large as usual, for they suffered the same fate that Irish potatoes did, that is the ef fects of the drought several weeks ago, Home grown mangoes are now on the local market and are selling at the rate of 3 for 10 cents. : " In combatting the diseases carried by the fly, it is computed that $157,800,000 is spent in the country- each year. .'.

Suit. NEW YORK, July 24.--Offlclals of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railway made it clear today that after they have filed their answer to the federal dissolution suit filed by the government yesterday they expect a compromise to be reached that will result In a settlement satisfactory to both sides. They asserted that they would stand pat In their opposition to the Massachusetts demand that that state have a perpetual option on the stock of the Boston ft Maine railroads, but Intimated that offers' to alter the attitude of the Massachusetts legislature were being made with a fair chance of success. Officials of the road beard today that Attorney General McReynolds had come secretly to New York to press the early work preparatory to the trial of the dissolution suit. " k w At his office in Washington, it was admitted that he had left the capital. The matter of criminal prosecution of directors will probably be taken up by the grand jury that meets August 3., It is expected that this prosecution will be pressed, no matter what the outcome of the dissolution suit. DUTCH DRIVE ERIN'S SONS OFF DIAMOND J5 ' Menke Notes Preponderance of German Names on Team Roster. BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, July 24. The Irish seem to be disappearing from baseball and their ancient and honorable enemies the GermanB seem to be horning their way into. Baseball's Hall o- Fame that once was peopled almost altogether by the Sons ot Erin, One of the recent lists of averages for the American League shows only two out-and-out Irish names among a list of fifty pitchers. This pair was Collins, of the Red 'Sox, and McHale of the Yankees. Against them there are 15 pitchers who have unmistakeable German names and about six others whose names may be German and may not. But whatever they are they aren't Irish. Forty-five pitchers were in the National League list and only four had Irish sounding names Ragon of the Dodgers, Ames of the Reds and McQuillen and OToole of the Pirates. And there-is a question as to whether Ames despite his red hair is an Irishman. Fourteen real German names appear in the pitching list and there are about seven other pitchers whose names seem to have a German flavor. : Irish No Hitters. In the American -League batting list that included 11 hitters over .200 there were 75 names. The Irish had a somewhat better representation there than in the pitching list but it wasn't enough to give the Irish cause for a celebration for once again the German outnumbered them. The list showed 15 sure enough Irish names against 20 real German names and 6 other names that sounded suspiciously. German. In the National League batting list 80 names appeared, and once again in the fight between the Irish and the Germans the former were worsted, the out-and-out count being 22 Germans against 17 Irish. Needs His Money. Gunboat Smith so we are told by some ring "experts" will hammer the daylights out of one Jack Johnson should they, ever meet and the "experts" add that "The wise man will put a big bet . down on Gunboat." witnout wisning to cast any reflections on the punching skill of the said Gunboat, we wish to remark that if Gunboat and 'Lil Ahthuh' should meet within the next year we will be among those who won't bet on Smith. We need our'Tnoney for other things, suchas buying floral pieces for white men who may be foolish enough to really anger the Ebony Champ. Ever since the Moran fight nearly everybody has been calling Johnson a rank has-been. Before it if you'll remember, the same clan remarked with emphasis, that Moran would cave in the dome of the champ, bust 82 or 83 of his ribs, splinter his collarbone, loosen 14 of his teeth, close both eyes and send him to the hospital for a year or so? " ' - Did he? Uruguay, much of which is formerly treeless, within a few years has plant ed more than seventeen million forest trees. FRECKLES Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots.
