"We will not allow a single How ard's Official Baseball to go out with anything but a rubber center," ex plained H. M. Starr of the athletic de partment. "In fact we do not carry an official baseball in our stock with anything but rubber centers. As to baseball uniforms with the military collars, I believe they will doubtless prove very popular again this year. We will have a big stock of baseball uniforms on hand this season so we an fit out teams without a momen's delay." Story of a Gun Stock. A man inquiring about the excel lent finish of a gun stock exhibited in the Howard booth brought forth a storv worth telling. Several years ago, when the Sixth street viaduct was built, an old curly black walnut tree stood in the way. The tree had died, its bark had shelled off leaving the trunk bare to the wind and weath er. Its limbs were hewn away until the viaduct could be constructed. Years of air and sunshine seasoned the trunk as solid and heavy as bone. The vellow hammers' beaks glanced off its surface as if it were polished glass, looked dismayed and flew away. Then Howard sawed the old tree down, ripped it up into five hundred beauti ful curly black walnut gun stocks. The firm has finished two hundred, leav ing three hundred to be made, the wood growing stronger and harder year after year. CHESS TOURNEY ENDS Officers for Coming Year Chosen at Meeting Here.

Most people may know also of various classes of vessels of war, of monster battleships, cruisers which are the eyes of the fleet, submarines, etc., but never has the general public had such an oppor tunity to inspect them at such close range as Mr. Howe shows them at the Grand today and tomorrow. For the first tirre these scenes depict "the gospel and the glory and the pomp of life on board an American battleship." A splendid pageant such as this is a good tonic to stimulate national pride and patriotism. The play, "The Hound l"p." to be :ro duced at the Grand for three days, be ginning Monday, with a matinee Wed nesday, has a moral tone which, the managers say, has been approved by good citizens and at least one clergy man. The litter is quoted as express ing this view of the feature and plot: "It is one of those good, wholesome things, good from start to finish, and unlike so many plays of the day, leaves no bad tast; in any one's mouth." There are fomo features in 'The Round Up"' which are hard for one to forget aiter once seeing it surh a the quaint makeup and the rollicking humor of Sheriff Rapley Holmes, the procession of the cowboys at the wed ding, the singing of "M Old Kentucky Home" and that furious combat with the Indians. Some of the spectacular features are unique and hold the absorbed attention of the audience, as the descent of ..a mountain trail by the mounted Indians and the coming of the morning after the battle.

The !tile de partment following its usual practice will look into the report that a colony of Japanese is to be established on the coast of Lower California, on Mag dalena bay. When colonists take up lands under individual ownership the department rule has been to logard such action as no infraction of the Monroe doctrine. It is pointed out the constitution of Mexico - forbids the alienation of any of that nation's ter ritory.
