From tho time he entered the "big league" he has been a wonder, taking first place as a heavy batter, and he is to-day the best paid and greatest ball player In the world. The hard work of last season threw him Into an Illness which lasted all win? ter and spring. His magnificent frame Was so reduced that It was stated In the newspapers that he could never again appear on the field. But to the delight of the lovers of the game, he appeared with his club, looking stronger, hitting harder and playing a better game than ever. Of his recovery from shattered health to perfect form, Lajoie. says: "During my illness 1 did not begin to Improve till I trok Father John's Medicine. It quickly built up my body to Its former strength, and made me active as at any time In rrry career. Now I carry a bottle of the medicine with me on the trips with my club, and it keeps me well all the time."

Side by side wllh these men, and with the same tongs, he has worked day after day, and in nino cases out of ten ho has made a far more creditable showing than the oystermen themselves, invaria? bly lifting more oysters under like con? ditions. As a matter of fact, he has become one of the most expert tongmen In tho State." "We shall finish our work this week, wo believe, but may poslbly have to run over a day or two in the coming week, when the work will be ready for tabula? tion and the report to the Legislature fored from that." LEGISLATIVE PLAN. Seen through the horoscope of Mr. Cardwell's spectacles, the work of tho Legislature at Its coming session will be along these lines; To straighten out the lines of tho Baylor survey and mark them with a definite and Indestructible mark. After getting theso Hues In proper shape, the policy will ho made to properly police the beds and keep them In shape at all hazards. Whatever the reduction In acreage may be, there Is one thing certain, tho State can neither mark nor police '.'???,??? acres, a matter of physical Impossibility. Under the re? stricted acreage both of these idens. can be accomplished, which the Legislature will see will be done. Then will open a new era in the great oyster industry of tho good old Commonwealth of Vir? ginia. Tho gentlemen are perfect pictures of health, und aside from their onerous du. ties, have had what might be termed a good time.

READY TO REPEL ATTACK Hat Fleet and Navy Assembled Suffi? cient to Meet Japan ? Another Standstill In Negotiations?Ja? pan Takes Calm View. (By Associated Press.) PEKIN, October 19.?Like other cities In tho Far Bust, P?kin Is perplexed by the reports from various points of events lortendlng a Russian-Japanese war. Most of these reports on Investigation prove to bo unfounded. The opinion prevails hero that Russin proposes to hold all she has gained In Manchuria, and refrain for the present from further advances Into Coica. It Is also believed that Russia Is convinced that no nation except Japan thinks of contesting her position, and, having ussemblod a lleet and army which she considers strong enough to repel any .Japanese attack, she is awaiting devel? opments In Japan's policy. A majority of the Russian ships have left Port Arthur since the manoeuvres foi* an unknown destination, but It Is supposed that some of them are cruising on tho shores of Corea, watching Mn Hiir.-Pho and other ports. The Japanese ships, whose presence at Ma-San-Pbo caused tho report that Japan had occu? pied that port, have sailed, probably In the direction of Sascho, Japan. T.-k s ? CMrn V w. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Oct. 19.?Tho Japanese lega? tion attaches no Importance to the re? ports of the landing of Japanese troops at Plug-Yang, Corca, or to the alleged concentration of Japanese forces In the neighborhood of Hakodate, Japan. Tho legation says there is every reason to believe that tho situation has not changed materially since last week's reassuring officiai telegram from Tokio, and tho opinion was ex-pressed that the Czar's ap? pointment Of a special commission to consider affairs in Ihe far east would tend to limit the powers of Admiral Alexieff, the viceroy of the far east. Negotiations al a Stand'-till (By Associated Press.) YOKOHAMA, Oct. 10.?The negotia? tions between Russia and Japan have come to another standstill. It. is thought doubtful that the Marquis Ito's view of the military occupation of Manchuria Is endorsed by the whole country, but It Is believed that Ito is strong enough to carry his point, owing to the para? mount stand taken for the Integrity of Corea and the open door In Manchuria for all nations.
