HARD TIME TO GET

SPECIAL CONTRACT LET
Uncle Sam Is Making an Earnest
Effort to Provide. Other Gossip
From Washington.
(By A. M. Tracy.)
Washington, March 29. For sever
al months past the contractors . who
furnish the Post Office Department
with Rural Carriers' mall satchels
have been fowardlng only a very
small percentage of the number re
quired to keep the Rural Delivery
Service supplied, the difficulty being
mainly Inability to procure leather
used in their manufacture, as a con
sequence the bureau of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General has an
accumulation of orders for twenty
.thousand of these satchels. Recent
ly a paragraph appeared In a publi
cation having a large circulation
among rural letter carriers, advising
those who have not been able to get
satchels by requisition to "write to
.their Congressman ' and state their
trouble." As a result the members of
Congress have been deluged with let
ters from rural. carriers urging them
to havo the satchels furnished, and
the Congressmen have been calling
on Fourth Assistant McGraw" In large
( numbers. As - the Department has
not the satchels to furnish, this
method has not been any more suc
cessful than the regular one of mak
ing requisitions.
A special contract has been let for
15,000 canvas satchels, and this sup
ply, along with the satchels coming
In under the regular contract, is ex
pected to relieve the pressure some
what. However It will be several
months before the Department can
fill these requisitions with anything
like promptness.
Senator Hemenway has undertaken
to do what he can to have John W.
Grjiy, of Spencer, reinstated in his
work at the naval academy at An
napolis. The Junior , Benator feels
with Representative Chaney that
young Gray was dismissed without
'proper cause and that the demerit
marks he received were not merited.
It is not known what can be done
with the navy department and the
academy officials, but the effort will
be made.

CITY LEAGUE ASSURED
FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN
Managers of Different Teams Met
Last Night at Palladium Office
May Be Made a Six Team Organiza
tionMeeting Tuesday.
The preliminary arrangements for
the organization of the 'Saturday Aft
ernoon Baseball League were made
last night at a meeting helld by the
managers of the Starr Piano, Palladi
um, Pan Handle and Kibbey teams.
There will be another meeting held
Tuesday night of next week at the
Palladium office, at which meeting It
is expected that the managers of
the East Haven and Hoosler Drill
teams will attend, making a league
composed of six strong teams.
At this meeing a schedule and rules
to govern the league will be pre
sented for adoption. It was the
opinion of those who attended the
meeting last inlght that the season
should open the first Saturday in
May and close the third Saturday In
September, which would make a play
ing schedule of 20 games for each
team. At the meeting Tuesday night
three salaried umpires will be cho
sen and a president elected. Strin
gent rules for the paying of men play
ing on teams will be adopted.
NOTES OF THE SPORTING
WORLD.
Robert Uuglaub, the ex-Brewer, will
not be a member of the Boston Amer-'
leans this year. He has signed to
play for the Wllllamstown club of the
Pennsylvania league. ,
The Boston Nationals are after Pat
Dougherty, of the New Xork High
landers, but up to date, Griffith says,
Deafness Cannot Be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf-
less, and that is by constitutional
remedies; Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tubes. "When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum-
hnjj sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
animation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
ine cases out of ten ore caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
lamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
i'or any case of deafness (caused by
.atarrh) that cannot be cured by
$000000000

ed Soden to loosen up that far?
Manager W. H. Watkins, of the
Indianapolis slub, is somewhat ' hilar
ious -over the acquisition of Pitcher
"Dode" Brinker, of Seattle, who
stands 6 feet 1 Inch and weighs 190
pounds. For four years he was a
baseball and football star at Washing
ton College.
Theodore Nelson, pitcher of Book
ings, S. D., and the Rev. Gilbert, of
Columbia, W. Va., have signed with
South Bend.
With his elbow on the counter and
his foot on the railing, we heard Rube
Waddell declare at 12:15" the other
morning that he was ready to pitch
the game of his life.
Jack Chesbro asserts that he ex
pects to depend largely on the "spit
ball" this season and believes that he
will repeat his great success of 1904,
with it, when he was the American
league's premier pitcher.
Jack Harper is showing up in his
1904 form with the reds in the prac
tice games in the south. Harper
should be a winner if he gets down
to bnsiress.
Duffey and Connie Mack are said to
be pleased with the outlook for the
coming season. All managers are al
ways pleased with the outlook at this
tinie-cf the year.
Billy Nolan says that unless Jimmy
Britt pays over to Battling Nelson the

fight pictures he never will get a
chance to meet the Dane again. kel
son has started for the coast to get

Marvin Hart's next opponent will
be Sandy Ferguson, the clever east
ern heavyweight. The men will
meet before the Lincoln A. C. of
Chelsea and will travel twelve rounds,
providing nothing happens to put an
end to the battle. The date is April
19.
McGraw, of the Giants, wants to bet
$5,000 that the Giants can beat the
Highlanders in an ante-season series.
Griffith says the v.-orld's shampions
can not do the trick. There is only
one way to settle the argument so

Palladium Fpecial.
Fort Wayne, Ind. March 29. The
Interstate baseball season will open
May 4; closes September 12. The
clubs that will open the season at
home are: Lima with Marion, Kala
mazoo with Saginaw, Flint with Bay
City and Ft. Wayne with Muncle.
This will be the first season for the
interstate association, and those in
terested in the game will follow its
career with interest. The men be
hind the game are experienced in
baseball,, and the ov.t!ook is bright.
They are of the opinion that the or
ganization should have a better first
season than did the Central league its
first year. League baseball will be
an experiment in several of the cities
however. There has been little in
terest in the national sport at Muncie
for several years, while Marion v;as a
failure the second season it had a
berth in the. Central league. The dif
ferent managers have spent liberal
sums in obtaining talent and it is the
belief of the promoters that The race
will be close.
Anderson is now anxious to obtain
a berth in the nev organization. Yes
terday the officials of the In-liana
Union Traction company notified
Manager Con Struthers, of the Lima
club, that they would provide him
with a suitable park at Anderson and
accede to all his demands. Struthers
visited Anderson l&st week. He has
decided to open the season at Lima
however, but may later decide to
transfer the franchise to Anderson.

If Uranus, which 13 a star of about
the sixth magnitude, were a planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year, it could not have
much , claim upon popular attention,
but Uranus Is really a gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1,700,000,000
miles from the earth, is what causes
it tolook so small. Uranu3 has four
moons, which revolTe backward in
their orbits that is to say, they re
volve from east to west around Urnn
us, while Uranus goes, like all the oth
er planets, from west to east around
the sun. It is believed that Uranus
rotates backward oa its axis also.
Moreover, the axis of that great,
strange globe lies in such a direction
that in the course of its year, which
is equal to eighty-four of our years,
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole aud then upon the
other. Measured by our time stand
ard, there are forty years of constant
daylight, followed by forty years of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rist?s in the
west and sets in the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranus only one four-hundredth
as large as it appears to us. Still it
sheds upon that planet 1.500 times as
much light as. the full moon sends to
the earth, so that daylight upon Uran

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancients 91a d Ate It, bat It
Was a Simple Affair.
The ancieuts made cake, but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored confection which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes mad
with flour and water, some of then
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor
Some of them were not unlike oi:
plainest crackers and were often eate:
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institutio:
among them, as with us, but the cak
was a plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was a special fea
ture of Roman marriages 2,000. years
ago. The breaking of the cake was
part of a solemn ceremony. All of the
cakes of ancient history are plain and
simple. It is only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear of
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day cakemakers dt.ight. In
Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be a perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
stir into the cake of the period.
Bleasarlnir Medicine.
Use a medicine glass with the amount

these vary in size it is not safe to rely
upon them. Drops, too, cannot be
properly measured without a glass.
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. It should be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. It is desirable that if the patient

Mosart and Bretcner.
When Mozart was at the height of his
fame he eoisposed the music for Bretz
ner's "Belmont und Konstanze" ("The
Abduction From the Seraglio") at the
request of the Emperor Joseph II. The
.ltithor of the drama was so angry at
his that he inserted the following no
'ice hi the Leipziger Zeitung: "A cer
'ain fellow of the name of Mozart has
lared to misuse my drama, 'Belmont

oreby solemnly protest against this
lvasion of my rights, and I reserve to
uyself further procedures. (Signed).

A Ground Hog Case.
"A ground hog case'' is a case of
absolute necessity one in which the
reward of. perseverance is certain and
the necessity for perseverance is im
perative. Its origin is told in this sto
ry: A boy was seen digging vigorously
with a grub hoe at the mouth of a hole
in which a ground hog had taken ref
uge. He was asked if he thought he
would get the ground hog, to which he
replied with scorn: "Catch him? Why,
yes; I'm bound to catch him; we're out
of meat." St. Louis Republic.
