Home from the orient, with the memory of Shanghai and the Chinese interior; o Alexandria and the Egyptian desert and the terri tory of the pyramids; of Jerusalem and Joppa and Damascus, and of Manila and Cavite and Guam fresh in his mind as the things seen yesterday, John Strauchon has come back to Ottawa for a short visit with friends. It is 14 years ago since the boy, John Strauchon, independent and determined to "make a dollar for himself," left Ot tawa and drifted south through Arkan sas and Texas to the Gulf coast. Mr. fftrauohon comes home bearing a mas ter engineer's license from the marine board of examiners, and full of the ex perience of many voyages in strange ports. Air. Strauchon was last in Ottawa in September, 1S98, after having served on the converted cruiser St. Paul during the Spanish-American war. How he en tered the service of a vessel at New Or leans as an engineer's apprentice 14 years ago is known to most of his Ot tawa friends. Cpou returning east from his last visit in Ottawa the only one he made until the present time since leaving home he entered the service of the gov ernment as junior engineer and engag ed on transports carrying supplies along the Atlantic coast, to the soldiers in Cuba. Mr. Strauchon successfully pass ed the examination for assistant engi neer after serving with the transport Comal, and was then transferred to the collier, Hannibal, also in the Atlantic t oast service, going south past Cuba to Central American poi t. He next went to the collier Alexander and began the series of voyages that have made his experience seem like the tale of a story book. Mr. Strauchon made two trips around the horn once to lower Califor nia and once to Hawaii, returning to Norfolk, Va., for fresh supplies. The single round trip, of 17,000 miles, occu pied seven months. Including stops at the principal South American coast points. It was on the second trip back that the Alexander broke her shaft in midocean and drifted helplessly Strauchon leaving the vessel for a 48 hours' cruise in a ship's boat, to be picked up and put asnore at Savannah The Alexander was overhauled and repaired, and sent for three years' ser vice in Asiatic waters, Mr. Strauchon accompanying her.

The Al exander was thence dispatched to Al exandria, Egypt, and while on a week's leave Mr. Strauchon visited Cairo and journeyed into the desert to the pyra mid. From Alexandria the boat took a load of coal, touching: at Colombo, Ceylon: thence to Manila: thence to Hong Kong to coal the Asiatic squad ron, through a typhoon which all but wrecked the collier and necessitated heavy repairs; thence to Manila for more coal and thence to Shanghai where Mr. Strauchon witnessed the ar rival of the cruiser Askold upon her ar rival from the Port Arthur fight and her disarmament by an American offi cer's direction. From Shanghai the col lier went 750 miles up the Y'angtse river to leave coal for an American gunboat. Mr. Strauchon left the Alexander at Guam on December 24. brought the col lier Ajax home as engineer, from Cavite by way of Cape Horn, and at Norfolk took and passed with high honor the examination for a chief engineer's cer tificate. "I've seen enough of the sea," said Mr. Strauchon in the office of his broth er. G. E. Strauchon, this afternoon; "I made the best of a distasteful job till I got up as far as I could go; now I'm going to settle down on land." Mr. Strauchon will be in Ottawa for about a week.

They want to go to work on the state building. This work is to commence on or about July I, when the appro priations are ready. It is the inten tion to build the walls and the build ings with the labor of the inmates, under the direction of a foreman.

Not long ago a Winfield woman who is a strong supporter of the temper ance belief bought a pair of shoes in Arkansas City which fitted her so well that she determined to buy another pair just like them the first oppor tunity she had. Last week she was in Arkansas City with two women friends, when she proposed buying another pair of shoes. They went into the shoe store, and Io: ana Denoia. before thev could realize what had occurred, they found themselves in a joint. Two of the women fled pre cipitately from the place, but the wo man who wanted the shoes acted on her second thought, which told her to ask for a drink of water. "Can I get a drink?" she asked of the man behind the mahogany -who wore a white apron. "Why, certainly, madam, said ine man with his best smile. "What'll it be todav?" and he wiped his hands on his apron and reached for the XXX rye Dottle. "Oh," almost shouted the woman, "I onlv wanted a drink of water." But the ordeal had proved too much for her. and she hurriedly joined her companions on the sidewalk. The wo man had remembered the location or the shoe store all right, but between her purchases the shoe store had moved out and a joint moved in. Winfield Free Press. Leavenworth Political Change.

The appointment of Delfs has caused con siderable comment, as General Dawes has always been a Curtis leader and opposed to Warden Jewett, who has always fought Curtis in this county.

The hopes of Sheard, Logan, Abbott and Co. Ltd., licked the best college baseball team in the state, to the smithereen stage on Wednesday after noon at Association park. After the fracas was over, Coach Quigley, whom the Topeka fans will remember as one of the Elk stars in the game here last summer when the local herd pertur bated the atmosphere with Mit Wil hite's bunch from Emporia, gathered up the fragments, and but two were coming his direction, while Captain Abbott trailed a total of fourteen be hind his kaleidoscopically dressed band. But eight innings were played. The Catholics had to catch the 6 o'clock plug. One of the rules of their institution is that every student has to be at the college every night. "If we miss the train," said one of the players, "we would have to drive back. That is all there is to it." Coach Quigley's postmortem over the contest was this handful: "Our boys just simply had a bad case of stage fright. It lis the first time that they ever played away from home. Why, two weeks ago, with Lundgren in the box for the leaguers, we held the Chicago Nationals down to eight runs. We had Downey and Young pitching, the same boys who played today in Topeka. I wish we could get another whack at the Topeka team." "You may," said Secretary Logan who heard the statement. So the two put their heads together and ar ranged for another contest in Topeka to be played on next Tuesday. Topeka simply played a high grade quality of midsummer baseball 15 hits errorless no bases on balls by the pitchers. It did the business. Kean and Howie alone had to go home without their bingles. Cole laced out three and Dick Brown yes, Dick Brown, got three of them. It looks as if the peerless third baseman has again found his clouting optic. Quig ley, Abbott and Persch all helped themselves to the pie with a brace each. And then to top off the bou quet, Quigley, Cole and Persch all registered three-baggers. Downey and Young were in the squar ed circle for the collegians. Both were batted mercilessly and yet you cannot Kiplingize all the "shame and the blame" onto them, for their support smeared up nine big errors, all of them of the sailor-drunk .variety. The visitors' two runs were made off good hitting, 'both from the bat and Pitcher Tom Hughes. To a young man by the name of 'Soruggs, must after Grady of the St. Louis Cardinals, be ac corded the honor of having made the longest hit on the Topeka grounds a home-run to be sure. Young Mr. Scruggs, who is not much bigger than a minute, got hold of one of Long Tom's high ones in the seventh and whaled the pill with a screaming smash. The bullet whistled over Dutch Persch's head in the center field, and before the ex-Midget could get to the fence to pick it out from the clods, Scruggsy had scampered in and was holding a recep tion on the bench. Then one O'Dona hue got hit in the floating rib by Mr. Hughes. He skated to first base on a clear track as a premium. Then "Cy" Young, who pitched, picked out a pret ty one and sent it crashing over Kean's head for two bases and O'Donahue knocked the second and last kink into the pan for St. Mary's. Howie and Hughes, who were on the slab for Topeka. both did brilliant work. Howie shows more speed and greater control than last year, and Hughes is firing the pellets over the warming pan so that the batter thinks the plate be side him isn't even a whistling station. Alderman started to do the umpiring. Quigley roared at one of his decisions and Old Spartacus Alberts finished her out. About the most important thing he did was to tell several of the players, when they started to beet, to tend to their part of the game, and he would take care of his own. It was a little liberal education for the visitors. The score: TOPEKA. Plnvfr- AB. K. H. ft). A. B..

The weather was cuuiy, mc track was muddy and the crowd no tably large. The card offered was only fair, some of the events failing to fill well. The seventh race, at one mile, over the Columbia course, not only was the best of the day, but proved to be one of the greatest speculative proposi tions of the meeting. Yeoman was al ways the favorite, but every horse in the race had strong backing. The start was excellent, Lochinvar being the first to show in front. He was lapped by The Veiled Lady and Yoe man. At the half yoeman took com mand, with The Veied Lady close up. At the turn into th stretch Yeoman looked to be the winter, but The Veil ed Lady beat him out in a drive by a small margin.

DREAM GIVES CIIESBRO TIP. Pitcher Solves Scheme to Make Ball Break Right for Coburn. ISTew Xork, April 13. Pitcher Jack Chesbro of the Sew York American leaguers is not only a conspicuous success as a baseball player, but has the by no means prevalent faculty of imparting his skill to others. As a baseball instructor he also has had success, and in this connection he re lated today a most interesting In cident: "It was while I was coaching' the Harvard pitchers," Chesbro said. "Co burn, the big- Harvard box man, was one of my most promising pupils, in that he had a , fine physique, great speed and a good shoot to his fast ball. But I did not seem able to teach him how to make the ball break right, and I was worried about it. I tried every way I knew to show him how to make the ball curve properly, but the break wouldn't come and I was troubled. "Finally inspiration came to me in a dream. I dreamed that Coburn was pitching from second base and that he had all kinds of breaks to his ball. The next day I took the hint conveyed in the dream and put Co burn fifteen feet back of the pitcher's box. True enough, the ball curved just rierht as it came to the plate. Then I brought Coburn back to the box by slow degrees and by the time he got there he had mastered the point of making the ball break right. "There's another pitcher at Har vard who would make a great name on the diamond if he went in for base ball professionally. He is Schoenfuss. the shot putter and football player. He is a giant of superb build and has terrific speed, having a great jump on his speedy ones. He always has a sore arm, he "says, but I wish I had that kind of a sore arm." "NOISY BILL" CLARKE. The Former Oriole Has Been Signed by Johnny McGraw. St. Louis, Mo., April 13. "Noisy Bill" Clarke, one of the best catchers in the business, has been added to the playing staff of the New York Nationals. For the last four years Clarke caueht and played first base for the Washington Americans, but this season he and the new Washington magnate could not come to an agreement, and he bought his re lease from the league, 'tis said. Champion Bowling Record. Chicago, April 13. The Chocos of the Lake View Bowling league have shattered all existing bowling aver ages for team averages by counting 1,084 against the Stearns. The scores in the three games were 1,13 2, 1,108 and 1,014. This also is the first time on record that any team has rolled two 1.100 totals in one series. The previous recognized world's rec ord was 1.061, made by the Ben singers of the Chicago league on Feb ruary 15. Xeil and Bowker Match. San Francisco, Cal., April 13. There is now a good chance of a return match be tween Frruikie Neil and his recent con queror, Jim Bowker, to come off in Amer ica, and most likely in San Francisco. Billy Dav, Bowker's manager, has writ ten "that he is willing to bring his man over for a contest here in June or July if a satisfactorv purse can be secured by one of the local clubs. Neil has written Day that it is the great ambition of his life to secure a return match with Bowker. Gifts for the Browns. St. Louis.Mo., April 13. The Browns are to be nicelv remembered by the manage ment for their game finish in the spring series. All hands, as soon as they re ceive their first pay, will get fattened checks. Boxmen Glade and Howell, the particular heroes of the encounters, are to be presented with SKO apiece. All the other players will get S50 extra. This is one of the few times on record that a ball club has divided the spring spoils with its players. MeGovera in Bad Shape. Hot Springs. Ark., April 13. Terry McGovern of Brooklyn, one time the greatest little fighter of his inches in the world, is down and out- He will never again be able to answer the bell calling him to battle. . "Terible Terry," as the little fighter was dubbed when he was mowing down opponent after opponent, is a nervous wreck. He was sent here for ' Kj-.A L rest, suffering from nervous prostra tion, and so bad is his condition that he will be taken from here to New York and be placed in a sanitarium for treatment. It is said to be im probable that he will ever be the man he was, either physically or mentally. State Senator Tim Sullivan of New Y'ork, who has been here for several weeks, has taken McGovern in charge and will take him to New York. Ball Games 35 Cents. Los Angeles, April 13. The Pacific Coast league will have to back up on its admis sion price of 35 cents for ball games. This seems to be the general opinion of the fans in this city, and while the ideas in one city for the league don't control the policy of the league by any means, it is generally a safe bet that while the fans as a whole may differ on the merits of certain players and certain teams, they may be counted on as a unit when it comes to money matters that affect their own pockets and this raise from 25 to 35 cents certainly hits the public pocket in a weak spot. Worry for Stagg and Tost. Madison, Wis., April 13. Phil King, who, after an interim of two year3, has been re-engaged to coach the Wis consin football team, has arrived here from the east and held a conference with Captain Vanderboom and other football men. As a result of the conference the football candidates will be given light spring practice under the direction of Captain Vanderboom. The work will be of an elementary character. All of the old men except Strom quist, guard; Fleischer, full back, and Hunt, sub tackle, are expected to re port for practice. King will return to Washington, D. C, and will come back to begin ac tive work September 10. Racing; at Xew Orleans. New Orleans, April 13. One of the early trains of the Frisco road, carry ing passengers to the race track, was partially derailed, and in consequence the race goers were delayed half an hour or more, and to avoid disappoint ment to the late comers the starting of the first race was postponed until 2:45 p. m. Fortunately the passengers and crew escaped without a scratch. The racing resulted in an even break between layers and players, three fa vorites finishing first.
