"Slow, Fast," and the case was laughed

MARQUARD MOWING DOWN
HITTERS WITH MATTY'S
FAMOUS FADEAWAY.
Rube Marquard, the New York
Giants' star southpaw, is win
ning his games with a fast ball,
with an occasional curve that
keeps opposing batters guessing,
and with Matbewson's famous
fadeaway. - "
"Rube has the fadeaway down
better than any pitcher 1 ever
taught It to or saw," said Ma
thewson recently.
"My fadeaway breaks away
from the left handed batters, who -f
are the fellows who find it easi- I
est to hit my curve," continued
Matty. "Marquard, being a south
paw, throws the fadeaway away
from a right handed batter, who
Is hard to fool with a curve."
. "I don't know but that the f ade-
away Is my best ball," said Mar-

M'GRAW IS REAL LEADER.
Experts Declare He Is More Than Half
Giants' Strength,
John J. McGraw, the little Napoleon
of the New York Giants, is a wise
manager, a leader who seldom over
looks a bet That he is more than 50
per cent of the team's strength Is gen
erally conceded by every one who has
studied carefully his methods and
watched his policy.
When the Pirates were at the Polo
grounds last month Mike Donlin and
Larry Doyle got into a kidding match
Larry handed one to Mike about being
a has-been. "Go on, you boob," was
Mike's reply. "You have to have some
one on the bench to do your thinking
for you."
'Twas rather an unkind cut for Cap
tain Doyle, for it was as close to the
truth as Mike could have put it Mc
Graw does three-quarters of the
Giants' thinking, and that is no knock
on the athletes under him. He is su
preme in his camp. His word is law,
and woe betide the tosser who dis
obeys. He rules with a rod of iron
and demands that his every order be
executed as It is given. That is one
of the secrets of his success.
Glance down the Giants' lineup and
you will find few players that would be
classed as world beaters. But watch

them on the field under the eagle eye
of their leader and you see a team
which is always active and which is
capable of great accomplishments. Mc
Graw is the magician who converts
them from commonplace individuals
Into a team of smoothly working ath
letes, with the conviction that they
have the pennant as good as won.
"It was a treat to watch McGraw
handle Rube Marquard while the lat
ter was making his great run of
straight wins," said one of the Giants
recently. "I know Rube's tempera
ment, and I was anxious to see just
how he would conduct himself after
he had run up a dozen straight wins.
Believe me, he would never have done
what he did had he been working for
any other man than McGraw. The
manager seemed to know exactly bow
to handle him. He kept Rube's mind
off the sport as much as possible.
Many an evening he took Marquard
out automobile riding with a bunch of
good fellows to get him away from the
gang of hero worshipers that always
fawn upon a man who is making
rood."

LOVE'S
HORRORS
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
The loveliest, the most barbarous,
the simplest, the strangest acts com
mitted by human beings find their mo
tive in love. And there is no country
In which love in its greatest intensity
has flourished as in Italy. It is. the
soul of Italian poetry. It is the motive
of Italian crime.
One of the oldest families of Italy
is, or, rather, was, the Contis. Me
dieval Italy was ruled by great fami
lies, and their power lasted with va
ried degree for centuries. Beatrice
Conti, a beautiful girl who lived in
Rome a hundred years ago, when the
Conti family was still, at least in name,
prominent, loved Caesar Brandlni, and
her love was returned. Beatrice was
a superior girl, and Brandinl was a
prominent young man. He was very
accomplished, especially in those many
arts pertaining to war, being the best
fencer as well as the best shot among
the patrician set of Rome. But he was
nothing of a bully or a braggart and
had only once had occasion to punish
any man. That was for abusing a de
formed child.
Scipione Brescini, a man about Cae
sar's age, was one day seen by the
latter to cuff a crippled beggar who
got In his way while crossing a street.
Caesar was so indignant that he cuff
ed Brescini. Scipione did not return
the blow, and the matter seemingly
ended then and there.
Scipione was a rejected lover of
Beatrice. To have been struck by his
successful rival turned his soul into
a fiery furnace. Had he not feared
the superior skill of Caesar he would
have challenged him. As it was, he
found himself In a contemptible po
sition, with no way out of it Strange
to say, he not only coveted revenge
on Brandlni, '" but on Beatrice. He
brooded and brooded till he conceived
the idea of striking the girl through
her lover.
One night as Caesar was passing
through one of those medieval Roman
streets, too narrow for even a side
walk, an arm was thrust out of a win
dow, and a knife entered his back,
piercing the heart He fell and died in
a few minutes.
Beatrice, knowing that her lover had
only one enemy In the world and that
was Scipione, felt assured that he was
the murderer, but when a stiletto was
left at her house on a dark night when
the person leaving it could not be rec
ognized she knew that it was the
weapon with which Caesar had been
stabbed and that Scipione was his mur
derer. No more fiendish revenge is to be
conceived. Beatrice was at once
changed by it from the gentlest of
women to a deadly fury. The new
Beatrice differed from the former Bea
trice in proportion to the strength of
her love. It did not even occur to her
to punish Scipione through the courts.
She had no proof that he was the guilty
person, and if she had she would not
have produced it. The blood of the
Contis ran pure in her veins, and the
Contis of the past had not been in the
habit of troubling the courts with their
disputes. The men relied on their
swords; the women one of them was
a Borgia.
She did not meet Scipione Brescini
for some time after the murder and
when she did surprised him by appear- -Ing
not to suspect that he had, any
thing to do with it She even asked
him if he could not think of some one
whose enmity Caesar had aroused.
Moreover, she did not appear to take
her lover's death to heart so much as
he had expected. Scipione gained con
fidence. All might yet be well between
him and her. True, for a time he had
hated her, but her presence rekindled
love.
The two met often. Scipione did not
need to go to see her at her house, for
at that time every one in Rome met
socially at all sorts of open air fes
tivals. Beatrice always greeted Sci
pione with a smile a smile that never
had and never could fail to win him.
And this is an effect of love. . - Like
liquor, it steals a man's brains.
And so Scipione drifted to his ruin.
He renewed the offer of his hand to
Beatrice and was accepted.
Before their marriage Beatrice in
sisted on making a trip to India. She
had beard of something in that coun
try she wanted. Scipione was loath to
part with her and could not under
stand her going. She told him she
wished a flower that grew there and
was nowhere else to be found jrtth
which to decorate her bridal veil.
What a singular woman's whim to
go all the way to India for a flower!
Beatrice was gone a long while on
her journey. When she returned she
fixed a date for her wedding, but pre
ferred that it should be In private.
After the ceremony she sat in her
wedding dress, decked in the fresh
plucked flowers of a plant she had
brought from India. Her husband sat
beside her.
"For my sake, Inhale the perfume of
the flowers I was at so much pains to
get for our bridal," she said.
She held one of them to his nostrils,
and he drew in Its perfume. When he
was about to turn away she put her
arm about his neck and pressed the
flower to his nose. Presently he made
another effort to turn away. He could
not he was paralyzed. Then where
he had seen his loving wife he saw a
demon. As his senses faded the face
before him grew more terrible till
death came- to his relief. .
He had Inhaled the odor of the pol
son flower of India.
E HANFORD IS
DEFENDED BY LAWYER
MILWUAKIE, Wis., Aug. 27. De
fense of Cornelius H. Hanford of Se
attle, who resigned as United States
judge ior the western district of
Washington in the midst of a congres
sional investigation by which im
peachment proceedings were intend
ed, was voiced here today by Stephen
Gregory of Chicago, president Of the
American tsar association, in open
ing the annual convention of that or
ganization. Gergory, after touching
briefly on arbitration treaties and the
recall of judges, referred to the Han
ford case.
"Whilei I venture to evpress' an
opinion in the case of Judge Hanford."
said Gregory, 'it may be out of place.
But it seems to me that the matter
ought to be proved, was, for the most
part, of the most trivial nature. It
seems to me that it fell far short of
such high crimes and misdemeanors
as to warrant impeachment of a fed
eral judge.
"We should not," however, condone
the shortcomings of the bench. There
has been altogether too much effort
on the part of lawyers to do this in
order to stand well with the judge."
Referring to the action of Justice
Daniel Thew Wright of the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia, In
the contempt cases against Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor, Gregory said:
"The action in this case was clear
ly an abuse of power."
Touching briefly on the recall of
judges, Gregory said:
"As to electing judges for slort
terms, the idea is preposterous, I am
opposed to it in any form and in any
circumstances."
Gregory then advocated woman suf
frage. "It is difficult," he said, "to see how
we can consistently, with the princi
ple that all men are entitled to self
government under which lies the
foundation of American institutions,
deny women the same political rights
accorded to men."
After Gregory's address, the rest of
today's session was devoted to the
routine reports of the secretary, treas
urer and the executive committee.
Attorney Genral Wickrsham an
nounced that he had enough pledges
already to insure the election of As
sistant U. S. Attorney Lewis, a Bos
ton negro, to membership, against
whom southern members are waging
a bitter fight.
The recall of lnp-oa it onA
j ,n -- i ... "no diuu,
would be discussed at length during
Liie convention ana it was considered
probable that the association would
oppose the recall in any form.
Governor McGovern of Wisconsin
in welcoming the members of the
American Bar asosciation here dis
cussed the recall of judges. The gov
ernor said:
"Many feel that there is force in the
argument that the recall of judges
would impair the independence of
judges. It is a fact, however, that the
independence of the judiciary has
been more in danger from the very
men opposing the recall than there
now is from the recall itself. ' The
idea of the recall in nnt rovnlntinfiom
simply a new application of an old
principle.
"Understand me," McGovern added,
"I am not advocating the recall."
Governor MeGnvem's romnrlrn
brought loud guffaws from the assem-
Dieo delegates.
The convention was proceeding
quietly when the executive commit
tee returned its report which proposed
that three negroes be admitted to
membership. The negroes mention
ed were William Lewis, an assistant
United States attorney general; But
ler Wilson of Massachusetts and Wil
liam Morris of Minnesota.
Former Secretary of War Jacob M.
Dickinson was recognized and pre
sented a resolution providing that
hereafter all applications for member
ship by negroes must state plainly
that the applicants are colored.
Attorney General Wickersham was
then recognized. It had been expected
that he would make a hot speech in
favor of negroes, but instead he mere
ly said that he favored Dickinson's
resolution. The resolution was then
declared . carried amid much confusion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-r-Colouel
Tbeodore Roosevelt will be given an

the charges made against him by
United States Senator Boise Penrose
of Pennsylvania and John D . Arch

company, before the senate campaign
ccr.tr; i:ut.icns investigating commit
tee. Chairman Moses 13. Clapp of
Minnesota announced ne-o today that
the lem'oers' of the committee had

John D. Archbold and members of the
senate and house.
Financial transactions and corre
spondence relating thereto between
George W. Perkins, former partner of
J. Pierpont Morgan; Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt and members of the
senate and house.
Efforts to learn from Senator Clapp
whether the election of Senator Pen
rose would be investigated, if E. A.
Van Valkenberg, editor of the Phila
delphia North American, could prove
his assertion that Penrose's election
was brought about by fraud, were fu

against him, Penrose said:
"Oh, he's easy. I have witnesses to

for a seat in the United States sen

"some more explosive utterances and
echoes to come from the vicinity of

GOOD EXAMPLE.
To admire what it admirable, to
follow what is noble, to remember
any such examples that have crossed
our earthly pilgrimage, that have
brightened its darkness this keeps
alive before us the ideal of human
nature and the essence of the divine
nature. The good thoughts, the
good deeds, the good memories, of
those who have been the salt and
the light of the earth do not perish
with departure. They live on sou,
and those who have wrought them .
live in them. Dean Stanley.

An applicant for a position in the

"The name sounds familiar," said the
applicant, "but I can't just remember
when it was or where it happened."
"Don't you know anything about

"No. sir."

MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 27. It is now
certain that enough damaging evi
dence was found by the postal inspec
tors in the Wells Lounsberry orchard
home to cause a close surveillance of
Mrs. Lounsberry on her4 way to To
peka. Just what was found canno
be learned, but it is known that the
woman was shadowed all the way to
Topeka, and that the Inspectors left
Medford hurriedly, at least, one of
them, ostensibly for Topeka.
One of the neighbors can account
for Mrs. Lounsberry's presence at the
Yoncalla robbery, when a slight man
dressed in overalls, a loose coat and
a hat pulled down over the hair, as
sisted the robber. This man, it was
reported, did not speak a word and
acted as though very nervous. He is
described as having a slightly flat
tened nose arid answers to the de
scription of the train robber's 'wife.
