MAY BE SOME CHANGES "
IN MANAGERIAL RANKS.
Cincinnati and Cleveland Likely to
Have New Leaders In 1913.
In spite of Garry Herrmann's recent
announcement that Hank O'Day would
not be released from the management
of the Reds, Cincinnati fans are loudly
clamoring for a change. - The poor
work of the Reds on the recent east
ern trip has stirred up more intense
opposition to O'Day than ever before,
with the result that it is reported
President Garry Herrmann has be
gun to waver. In Cleveland, too, Harry
Davis appears to be in hot water. For
est City fans say that Davis, with bet
ter material than George Stovall had
last year, is a failure. Owner Somers,
inclined to pay heed to the protest of
the fans, has discussed Davis' future
with Ban Johnson, it is reported, al
though he believes that Davis should
have another chance next year.
It remains to be seen whether John
ny Kling will be retained as manager
of the Boston Nationals. Kling has
been handicapped in many ways, chief
ly by the lack of first class playing
material. Rumor has it that Jake Dau
bert will succeed Dahlen as manager
of the Brooklyns, but nobody seems to
know whether Wolverton will keep his
Job on the Hilltop or not, Wolverton
has experienced no end of hard luck,
but has pluckily stuck to his task. So
far nobody has been named as his
probable successor, although some of
the American league moguls are said to
be more than ordinarily interested in
the situation in New York.
The big league managers who are
sure of their positions are McGraw,
Chance, Clarke, Dooin, Bresnahan,
Stahl, Griffith, Mack, Callahan, Jen
nings and Stovall. First class mana
gerial timber is scarce nowadays, and
clubs dissatisfied with their team lead
ers are not in a- hurry to make experi
ments. M'ARTHUR MAY VISIT STATES.

age, six feet tall and weighs 174
pounds. McArthur's career has suf-
fered from bad luck. He went to
Greece for a Marathon which was

bles and afterward went to England

TO CLEAN A
SWEATER.
Dainty
Women Prefer White
Ones
That Soil Easily.
A sweater is one of the necessities
of the seashore or mountain wardrobe.
No other wrap can take its place. The
dainty "woman always prefers the
creamy white ones, but often hesitates
to buy because of the seeming difficul
ty, of cleaning them. The following
method simplifies that process so that
i no one neea nesitaie to ouy one ou mat
account Woolen blankets may be
cleaned in the same manner.
A quarter of a bar of a good white
soap is melted over the stove. To this
is added about half a cupful of am
monia. Enough hot water is run into
the pan or tub to cover the sweater.
The soap and ammonia are stirred in,
and then the sweater is placed in.
With a stick or the top of a washboard
this is stirred and turned until the dirt
Is out Rinse In several waters, then
lay on a slanting board to drain, but
do not squeeze dry.
There are several methods of dry
ing. One is to fasten a sheet flat over
several elotheslines and spread the
sweater on that in the sun.
Robespierre Vests.
The Robespiprre "gilet" promises to
be a notable feature. Seen recently
i was a gown from a renowned atelier
I in shot taffeta rose with silver lights
I the perfectly straight, unadorned
skirt just eased into the waist while
the corsage, cut with long shoulder
seams, was similarly treated, the front
cut away to reveal a vest of white silk
visibly buttoning up the center to a
short distance above the figure line,
where it was thrown back with" a
! great pointed collar, the front angle
finished with a deep falling frill of
lace.
The sleeves were long and close fit
ting to the wrist, great ruffles of lace
falling over the hands. But to bring
about a wrinkled suggestion on the In
side of the arm just at the bend of the
elbow three or four tiny tucks were
arranged, and the waist belt consist
ed of a crossway fold of dull mauve
taffetas, terminating in front with a
great spiky bow poised in a diagonal
position.
Floor Wax.
The floor polishes purchased are
sometimes not satisfactory, but a very
fine wax may be made at home with
but little trouble.
To every pound of beeswax allow
three pints of turpentine. Cut the war
into small pieces and put these into a
pan. Set the pan in a saucepan of
boiling water and let the beeswax melt
thoroughly. Take it off the tire, add
the turpentine to the beeswax and mix
them well together. This preparation
should be mixed at a distance from the
fire.
- Bdudoir Caps.
The boudoir cap is in fashion again,
and, though less fully and fluffy round
the head, it contains quite as much ma
terial as those of last year. Some are
made of the very finest lawn, while
others are entirely of lace. The idea
Is to cover the hair during the various
processes of th toilet, but the cap has
been found so dainty and pretty that it
is often worn when the toilet is quite
complete, and it forms a charming ad
junct of the breakfast table.
BE NATURAL
Some young people do not suffi
ciently understand the advantages of
natural charms and how much they
would gain by trusting to them en
tirely. Their tones and their gait
are borrowed ; they study their at
titudes before the glass until they
have, lost all trace of natural man
ner, and, with all their pains, they
please but little. " -

MR. WHAT'S-HIS-NAME
By KATHLEEN J. MCURDY
Miss Wilkins, spinster, commonly
called old maid, though she was not
yet thirty, lived in a flat. On the op
posite side of the hall was another
flat in which lived a couple who inter
ested Miss Wilkins. There is nothing
remarkable in this inasmuch as old
maids are usually supposed to be in
terested in their neighbors' aftairs.
Whether or no this is the case, Miss
Wilkins, who by the bye was very ob
servant, noticed that Mrs. What's-her-name,
across the hall, always wore a
sorrowful countenance.
The next thing Miss Wilkins noticed
was that whenever she was lying
awake between midnight and 3 or 4
o'clock she would hear a footstep com
ing up the stairs, and on reaching the?
story on which she lived the sound
would end in the closing of a door.
There being but one other flat ou the
floor besides Miss Wilkins', the door
was undoubtedly closed by one of that
other flat's inmates.
An idea struck Miss Wilkins right
between the eyes. Mr. What's-his-name,
her neighbor, was the cause of
his wife's melancholy. It was he who
came home so late. What wonder that
the lady was miserable with such a
husband! Was he dissipated? An
other idea popped into Miss Wilkins'
head. Mr. What's-his-name must make
his living by gambling. She had once
known a woman whose husband was a
gambler, and the wife was always the
picture of misery. The problem was
solved.
That it was solved correctly was
proved by the fact that no one was
stirring in the neighboring flat in tile
morning till 11 o'clock. Then a waiter
from a restaurant brought a tray cov
ered with a napkin, knocked at the
What's-their-name's door and handed
in what Miss Wilkins was sure was the
husband's breakfast The reason she
was sure it was the man's breakfast
was because she had often seen the
tray sitting on the floor beside the
opposite door for a waiter to remove.
and there was but one coffee cup and
one plate. Undoubtedly Mrs. Whats-
her-name got her own breakfast at a
proper hour. -
Miss Wilkins gave -music lessons.
and an hour when she was sure to be
occupied with a pupil was between 10
and 3 in the afternoon. She watched
for Mr. What's-his-name -to go out, but
never saw him, consequently she sur
mised that he left home during the
hours that she was always engaged.
One 1st of May Mr. and Mrs. What's-
their-names moved out of the flat op
posite Miss Wilkins. The lady attend
ed to the moving, Mr. What's-his-name
not appearing wliile it was in progress.
Indeed, it was done in the afternoon.
Miss Wilkins inferred that since he
was up all night at cards or whirling
a roulette machine he must have his
sleep in the morning and have his poor
wife to do the moving. Anyway. Miss
Wilkins never saw the husband, but
a mental picture of him that she con
jured up remained in her mind. It
resembled Mephistopheles.
That was the end of the What's-
their-names for Miss Wilkins.
Three years later the spinster got a
husband of her own. The moment she
saw him all that antagonism to men
which had been with her since she
had passed twenty-five in other words,
since it began to look as if she had
been left out of the matrimonial king
domvanished. There was something
so benevolent, so noble, -so winning in.
his face that she fell before him like
grain before n scythe.
The gentleman's name was Smiley.
Miss Wilkins said it should be Smiling,
since his beautiful face always wore
a smile and that smile was his most
lovely feature. He seemed very much
pleased that Miss Wilkins was pleased
with him. for he was a widower look
ing for a wife. Having every reason to
suppose that he would be accepted by
Miss Wilkins, he proposed, and they
were married.
Mr. Smiley was very regular in his
habits and very domestic. He was a
magazine editor, and his hours at his
office were the same as those of other
persons, though sometimes he brought
manuscripts home and spent the even
ing reading them. But he always ex
cused himself so pleasantly for thus
depriving his wife of his company that
she forgave him.
One Sunday afternoon while strolling
they passed an apartment house.
"I once occupied a flat in there," said
Miss Wilkins.,
"Indeed! ' When was that?"
"Four years ago. We occupied the
second story west flat A couple lived
opposite whom I shall never forget
The man was a gambler, and his wife
was the most unhappy creature I ever
met"
"How did you know that the man
was a gambler?"
"Why, he was out all night and lay
abed till noon. Besides his wife show
ed by her expression that be was some-,
thing dreadful."
Mr. Smiley turned and looked in his
wife's face with every appearance of
surprise.
-"When did the couple move out?" he
asked.
"In May, 190."
"Great heavens I Do yon know who
I am? . I'm that' man. I wasn't a gam
bler. I was managing editor of the
Daily Advertiser and couldn't get home
till 4 in the morning. My wife was
miserable because she was suffering
from the disease of which she died."
"Oh, my goodness gracious!"
Archbishop of Canterbury.
The archbishop of Canterbury is re
ferred to as "his grace," and he writes
himself archbishop, etc.. "divina prov
Identla," whereas other prelates use
the phrase "divina permissione." He
is the first peer in the realm. At coro
nations he places the crown on the
head of the sovereign, and the king
and queen are- his domestic parishion
ers. The bishop of London is his pro
vincial dean, the bishop of Winchester
his subdean, the bishop of Lincoln his
chancellor and the bishop of Rochester
his chaplain.
The Next Senate. '
Political . writers generally tFsnme
that the party carrying the presiden
tial election will also control the next
congress, but do not go iuto details.
In the case of the house of representa
tives this is a reasonable assumption,
as the representatives are elected by
popular vote from districts divided
according to population. This gives
assurance that a majority large enough
to elect a president would ordinarily
;arry the house. In the senate, how
ever, the situation is quite different.
There are two senators from each
state, and these states differ greatly
In size.
On the 4th of next March thirty-one
senators go out of office, and there are
already two vacancies one from Illi
nois, caused by the expulsion of Ldri
mer, and one from Colorado, due to
the failure of the legislature to elect
a successor to the late Senator Hughes.
Of the thirty-one who go out of office
thirteen are Democrats and eighteen
are Republicans. The present strength
of the senate is fifty-one Republicans
to forty-three Democrats, a majority
of eight A change of five would thus
change the control of the body.
The thirteen Democrats whose terms
expire with this congress are: Bacon,
Ga.; Bailey, Tex.; Bankhead, Ala.:
Davis, Ark.; Foster, La.; Gardner.
Me.; Martin. Va.; Owen, Okla.; Payn
ter, Ky.; Percy, Miss.; Simmons, N. C;
Tillman, S. C, and Watson, W. Va.
Democratic successors have already
been elected to three of these, Repre
sentative Broussard in place of Fos
ter, Representative Ollie James in
stead of Paynter and ex-Governor
Vardaman supplanting Percy. Bailey
has announced his retirement, but will
be -succeeded by a Democrat The
others are fairly sure of re-election or
of being followed by men of their own
party, the only doubt being in the
case of Gardner of Maine and Watson
of West Virginia. The Democrats
should get at least one of the vacan
cies since they now control the legis
lature of Colorado.
The eighteen Republicans soon to
retire are: Borah, Ida.; Bourne, Ore.:
Briggs, N. J.: Brown, Neb..: Burnham,
N. H.; Crane, Mass.; Cullom. 111.; Cur
tis, Kan.; Dixon, Mont; Gamble, S.
D.; Guggenheim, Colo.; Kenyon, la.;
Nelson, Minn.; Richardson, Del.;
Smith, Mich.; Sanders, Tenn.; Warren,
Wyo., and Wetmore, R. I.
The starting of the third party
makes it impossible to predict with
certainty in regard to more than a
very few of these. The control of the
next senate is thus frankly in doubt.

TAKUM FAOTUMU.
Put the uaine of Lieutenant Takum
Faotumu of Japan high up in the list
of heroes. " -
Do you remember how the world was
shocked a few months ago by the ap
palling loss of all the lives of the offi
cers and men on a submarine vessel of
the Japanese navy?
Now a writer in one of the scientific
Journals gives the details.
The submarine, commanded by Lieu
tenant Faotumu, failed to rise, as was
shown by the records when the vessel
afterward was raised, on account of
some failure in the apparatus.
The discovery was made about 10
o'clock in the forenoon.
Down under fathoms of sea water,
face to face with approaching death,
the lieutenant calmly undertook to
write the story of the last hours. He
wrote the full account up to 12:30, and
his last words were:
"Respiration is becoming extraordi
narily difficult I am breathing gaso
line." He told about the, 'efforts to raise the
vessel, of the despair that settled down
upon officers and men. of how the
lights went out. how they sat in gloom
and how he was writing his final
words in the darkness details of Inter
est to the world from which they were
eternally shut out. -
But the finest words of all, words
which evidence the gallant spirit of the
heroic lieutenant, were these:
"I respectfully request that none of
the families of my subordinates shall
suffer. The only thing I am anxious
atJbut is this."
Mark you:
In all the writing there was no trace
of any wailing of regret because of
cruel fate, no mourning over the un
timely end of a brilliant career, no ex
pression of fear, no appeal and no
prayer. Simply, there in the darkness
of his death prison, with the fumes of
the gasoline in his nostrils and with
Death reaching for him at close quar
ters and with certain grip, he was only
"anxious" about the families of those
who were to die with him.
Can bravery further go?
Surely Japan will be basely recreant
to the memory of one of the bravest
men in the annals of the Japanese an
nals rioted for their stories of intrepid
soldiers and seamen if it shall have
failed properly to provide for those
families.
And the world's history of gallant
souls has been enriched by the story of
this Japanese officer who, dying,
thought not of himself, but only of the
wives and children that would be be

cellent chance to win from Wolgast
On Sept 3 of last year he knocked
out Joe Rivers,, the Los Angeles fight
er, in sixteen rounds. He defeated
Abe Attell in twenty rounds last Feb
ruary. Kilbane says that owing to. the pe
culiar ending of the Independence day
battle between Wolgast and Rivers he
believes his bout with the Mexican
was a cleaner victory than that of
Wolgast. Kilbane figures that his vic
tory over Attell is more creditable
than the showing Wolgast made In his
bout with the former featherweight
champion, which, although it was a
no decision contest was called a draw
by the scribes.
Kilbane is of the opinion that there
are no more featherweights in sight
for him to conquer and that he is en
titled to a match with Wolgast ' He
states that he Is willing to meet the
"Michigan wildcat" on any reasonable
terms and will make a side bet on the
match.
