waged. : ;v, ' - ..
Letters from disgruntled enthusiasts
poured into newspaper offices yester
day,, all with the same tale of being
unable to buy reserved scat tockets
from the club box office, but of being
offered the coveted pasteboards at
a premium from scalpers before the
public sale began. The result has
been an estimated attendance of 15,
. 000 for the two . games played in
Chicago and an estimated lost In re
ceipts of $25,000, the bulk of which
would have gone to the players.
Many of the protests from fans
went direct to the three members of
the national commission, Carry Herr
mann, Ban Johnson and Harry Pull
iam. Then when a person high In
authority and familiar with every de
tail of the arrangements reported to
the commission that the count of
tickets and receipts tf Sunday's game
had been delayed nearly an hour until
885 reserved seat coupons, which had
been "on sale" could be gathered to
gether, returned and credit given to
the local club, the members of the
commission decided somebody was
to blame, and the only way to pre
vent a repetition of suspicions and
charges of unfairness would be to
undertake the stupendous task thenv

information tending to the identifica
tion of James l.uman C. Mann as the
mysterious "J. II; Raymond," who
took Fanny Gilmore Thompson to
the Michigan Avenue rooming house
where the woman later was found
brutally murdered was secured yes'
terday, but nothing approaching .con
fession was gained.
Today, it is said, the' police will
go before the October grand jury and
present evidence to secure the in
dictment of Mann for the crime. The
grand jury will be made for the pur
pose of circumventing Attorney C.
E. Erbstcin, who represents the al-.
leged murderer and who forced the
police to fix Mann's bond at $25,000.
An effort was made last night to
obtain the release of Mann before
Municipal Judge Gemmill, but the
effort failed because of the inability
of Mann's parents and the attorney
to furnish sufficient value of bonds.
Erbstein told the police that if
Mann-was not admitted to bail he
would apply for a1 writ of habeas
corpus and thereby force the police
to take into court the evidence they
have that warrants holding him in
custody; In 'this manner he would
learn the strength or weakness of
their evidence.
Rather than make known their wit
nesses and the evidence they have
collected, Inspector Wheeler and
State's Attorney Roe consented to
have the bail fixed. '.,

SILENT CRANES.
A Nature Story by One of tho Mount
Taurus Cllmbors.
The mountaineer glanced compla
cently at bis bard calves.
"We climbers," be said, "up there on
the white heights see lots of things
worth seeing. I tell yon we could if
we wanted to outdo tbe nature fakirs
without deviating from tbe truth. FoV
instance, take tbe Mount Taurus
cranes. Do you know the cranes of
Mount Taurus? 1 1 ; t, j , -it
"Well, these birds are great chatter
ers. They chatter, chatter, chatter, as
they fly. Hanged If they're not worse
tban women! Up on the heights tbe
eagles lie In wait for thcia, bidden be
hind crags or ice blocks. They don't
have to show themselves at all. Their
ears, not their eyes, tell them of the
cranes' approach, and, swooping down
on those bundles of feathers and noise.
they take borne a mess of crane for
dinner.
"With their cuatter and babble and
gossip' the cranes of Mount Taurus
give themselves away In tbat still air
to the eagles, and In all eagle house
holds crane Is tbe staple dish.
' "But the old cranes fly without a
sound never a word out of them as
they sail and wheel In the blue air.
That seems against nature, and it Is
against nature. The old cranes to re
strain their innate love of talk fly with
largo stones In their mouths. '
"Shoot on of these crafty and silent
birds and you will find his beak tight
ly closed coon a large stone." Ex

- - His Plan Was 8ImpU.? - "
. Frederick, the Great once requested
his generals to submit to him plans of
campaign for a supposititious case.
Hans Joachim von Zlethen, the famous
cavalry general, produced a queer dia
gram in black Ink. , It represented a
big blot In the center, Intersected by
two black lines, whose four terminals
ended each in a Smaller blot The king
was furious and upbraided his old com
rade in arms bitteny for what he con
sidered disrespect
In explanation Von Zlethen said:
"Why, your majesty, I am the large
blot In the center. The enemy is any
one of the four smaller blots. lie can
march upon me from the right or left
from tbe front or rear. If be does I
simply advance upon any of the four
lines and lick him where I find him."
Frederick was satisfied.
Statistics.
In all probability tbe first administra
tive act of the first regular government
Was to number Its fighting men and to
ascertain as nearly as was possible
what amount of taxation could be
levied on the rest of the community.
As human society grew more highly
organized there can be no doubt that a
very considerable body of official sta
tistics must hate come into existence.
We know that such was the case In
Greece, Rome and Egypt but it , was
not until within the last two or three
centuries that systematic use of the in
formation available began for purposes
of Investigation rather than mere ad
ministration. New York American.
Businesslike England.
Tho English aro not a revengeful
people. They forget everything after a
fight in their eagerness to trade with
their late enemy. It is not so much the
spirit of forgiveness of sins which
prompts them as the spirit of pushing
trade. That Is the central impulse In
their being. Dublin Irish Homestead:

SEEING AND LISTENING.
NsarsighUd Man Wr Glasses In
Talking, but Not In Reading,
"Here's a sort of queer thing." said
a nearsighted man. "1 am very near
sighted. Strong glasses are indispen
sable to me for ordinary, general see
ing in my goings about but when I
sit down to read I take off my glasses
and bring tbe print up to within the
natural focus of the eye. It seems to
me. that reading with the natural eye
I read with a more Intimate and a
clearer understanding. ,
"So much for my reading without
spectacles, and now here is the thing
that Is queer to me. If when I am
reading thus, with my glasses off,
somebody comes along to speak to me,
why, then, to get a clear understanding
of that question I must have on my
spectacles.
"So I say, or I would say if this hap
pened at home where I know the peo
ple, 'Walt a minute till I get on my
spectacles,' and I would put them on
and then say, ,'Now go ahead,' and
really, with my spectacles on, with f
iy power of eeelng at its best, with
be sharpest definition of things in
general to the eye, I get the clearest
apprehension of things sal to me.
i"So in reading I do best with my
glasses off, but in understanding things
said to me, in listening, I do best with
my glasses on, , There is one modiaca
tion to this where there is no light
as In a dark room, where I can't see,
I can nnderstand equally well with or
