Yet this estimate Is conservative, In the $17,000,000 Is $3,000 for flx months, of baseball by the 16 clubs in the (wo groat leagues; $10,000,000 or there-j about, taken by 214 professional nines In the minor leagues, and es-j tlmates as near as can be of the mon- ey spent by amateurs who follow the.j sport in thousands of parks and open lots. The $13,000,00 spent at the gates of 38 leagues covers every large city ( and the towns of consequence, with; very few exceptions, from the Atlan tic to the Pacific. The total attendance at the Na- tfnnnl nnit Amerlenn leniriio eamcs " - " I last year was estimated at 6,iiB,&57 persons. They paid at least $2,356, 900 to get through the gates. The attendance, compared with the . population of the cities, shows that baseball was most popular In Cos- ton. There was a spectator at a ' game for every person in the city, with 32,000 left over for a second vis- 1 It. St. Louis came next, with specta- j tors for all but 49.000 of her 750,000 people. Philadelphia was represent- ed by nearly two In every three of( her people. Cleveland spent nearly' four in five, Washington two In three V ! The Peoples Warehouse Where it Pays to Trade Save Your Coupons m mm ST s E In reporting that the manufactu. Importation and s:le of absinthe In Switzerland is now prohibited, Vic Consul Leo J. Frankenthal of Berne, gives the following particulars of the recent referendum by which this was accomplished. In a previous consular report by the wfiter on the practical workings of the popular initiative in Switzer land, the absinthe Initiative was ex plained at length. It was accepted by the Swiss people on Sunday, July 5. 190S, by a vote of 236,582 against 125. SS8. The total votte cast was 372.470 from a voting strength of over 807.700, showing that 335,000 voters did not go to the polls. Its acceptance amends the Swiss constitution by a paragraph prohib iting the manufacture, importation, and sale of absinthe In Switzerland. Damages will undoubtedly be paid to the manufacturers in the Canton Neuchatef, where a flourishing ex port industry had been built up. The federal alcohol monopoly will lose a larpe sum annually. The vote of the French cantons Geneva, Vaud, Valals, Fribourg, and Xeuchatel where absinthe Is con sumed, and where In Geneva and Vaud, Its sale was recently prohibit ed by cantonal ordinances, rejected the federal initiative by a small ma jority. The vote In the German cantons, however, where absinthe Is practically unknown, turned the tide In favor of the measure. Thus Us fate was de cided for the citizens of western Switzerland, who were personally In terested, by the votes of those In the other cantons whom the measure did not affect. Central and eastern Switzerland had been appealed to by the western or French cantons to support them in voting In favor of the initiative, while the votes cast show that the French cantons as a whole rejected it COFFEE Good corfee is partly in buying and partly in making:; like everything; else.

In Canton Berne, where 38,337 voters had signed the Initiative s petition, only 24,593 voted for it, or 13,744 less than the number of signatures origi nally obtained. In Xeuchatel 9628 signed the petition for the abolition of absinthe, and but 6340 voted for it upon the day of election:. Fri bourg shows 9535 signatures In favor of the petition and 7244 votes for the measure on election day; Glarus se cured 3420 signatures against 2800 votes, and Basel-land 4022 signa tures to the Initiative and 2843 votes In the affirmative. A favorite placard of its adherents was a radiant white cross behind the range of the snowy Alps, printed up on a red ground, with the legend, "One for all, all for one. Vote 'Yes.' " The question now arises how the federal prohibition will work, since the federal government has no police fc)ice of Its own and Is dependent up on the cantonal police. If 50,000 of the 135.000 voters against the initia tive sign a second Initiative, they can force the matter to a popular vote for the second time. How to Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to becomi strong. He says: "My mother, who Ii old and very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Elictrlc Bitters, that I feel it is my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about It. In my mother' case a marked gain In flesh has re sulted, Insomnia has been overcome, and she Is steadily growing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom ach, liver and kidney complaints. Sold under guarantee at Tallman & Co.'s and Pendleton Drug Co., 50c. Rev. Euster, pastor of the M.. E church of Pendleton, preached his closing icrmon yesterday at the M E. church. This ends the conference year with him. He said In part: "I have enjoyed myself here In this pastorate more than anywhere else I have ever been. I have found here a broad-minded and generous church. A church liberal in Its giving and broad-minded In Its conceptions of what a minister should be and do. It condemns only that which Is wrong In Itself. During all the year I have not found anything In the least disa greeable or any criticism whatever. I find that members here as else where are coming to view the Chris tian life more and more as an Invest ment for God. All else Is but Inci dental. This Is the chief thing to In vest our time, our talents our money and our energy for God. He who goes gladly to Invest time and tal ents in the Sabbath school work Is a happy Christian. You Invested for God when you erected this church. A thousand years from now It will Still be used for the same purpose and you will be glad that you Invested. Only what we Invest for God gives us real enjoyment. All else we really do not cure for after it Is gone, but this never goes. Then I am glad of the unity belonging to this church. It Is united as but few churches are, and now I rejoice to know that the other body of Methodism here is consider ing coming In with you and thus making one solid Methodism for God In this place. How much good this will do no one can tell. I know all will receive a warm and generous welcome and will come gladly. I hope none In this church or the oth er has a memory that cannot forget ti e days of '62. Those days are too far in the past to remember . any more. The public actually demands this of the Christian world that it be united. It cares not to support a di vided house any longer. Then I am glad that you believe in revivals here. Other churches get along without re vivals, but as they depend largely for recruits from Methodism and other bodies, but our church cannot live and prosper without revivals. I am glad you are a unit upon this." In the evening he spoke highly of the business and professional men and the press of Pendleton. and Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Detroit four In every five of the Inhabitants, j In New York the average was one In four and In Chicago two In every tve inhabitants. Minors Draw Money. The people of 31 towns like Port-j land, Kansas City, Louisville, Buf falo and Providence, R. I., pay $2,-! 370.000 for a season's games by the cla?S A teams.

Wigan, England, Sept. 6. -According to testimonies before tne coroner, experts think the explosion killing 73 people In the Maypole colliery several days ago, was unavoidable.

Duo hundred nnd fourteen clubs In as many smaller cities from Maine to the Pacific coast .will complete the minor association's list. Each of these rlubs has receipts averaging $30,000 a year. The 114 take In $3,- 4 20,000 in a season. ICxix'nscs Heavy. The American and National leagues use 1000 bats In a year and the best sell at $1 a piece. These 16 clubs also use from 800 to 1000 dozen balls, at $12 a dozen. The clubs In the minor leagues require from 2500 to 3000 dozen balls. They use an average of 6 bats each in a season. More than $1,000,000 a season Is spent by the managers of the big league clubs for running expenses. Crack clubs, like the Pittsburg, the Chicago and the New York teant In the National league, cost $65,000 a year. If an average Is struck at $50, 000 and the 1G clubs In the two leagues are counted, expenses run up to $800,000 for a season. To the salaries Is added an allow anec of $30 a pleco for each player on the league teams for uniforms This means two flannel suits In a season at $15 apiece. For the 320 players in the 16 clubs In the big leagues this item would come to $9600. A similar allowance for the 4300 players in the minor leagues would swell the tailors' bills of the professional players to $138,600. When the fans yell at the umpire and agree that he's a "piker" nad "no good," they seldom think that these useless luxuries are costing anywhere from $24,000 to $42,000 a season. nearly $142,970. When It comes to the sales of equipment for oilier am ateurs, the trade Is divided among stores of manufacturers and thous ands of small shops. If one-half the 2S, 000, 000 spectators at the profes sional games In a season should play ball, be divided Into nines, and each should be given a ball and bat, it would take $4,000,000 to pay the bill. The sums tied up In grounds, grandstands and bleachers, of coursi), vary considerably. The National Ungun grounds In Bosjon, St. Louis and Philadelphia are elaborate. The American league has fine properties In Boston and Cleveland, and Is plan ning costly improvements In Philadel phia. So the total amount of capital tied up In the grounds becomes a matter 01 general estimates. One of the men best qualified to speak fixed the av erage value of the National league grounds at $250,000 each, or $2,000,- W0 for the eight.
