THE NAME STUCK
How the Pittsburgh Ball Club Came to j
Be Called "Pirates"
The Pittsburgh l>all team, commonly
•! called the Pirates, got that name as the
result of the kidnaping of Louis Bier
p bauer, a star second baseman, from the
Athletics way back in 188S or 1889.
.At that time there was a working
j agreement between the National League
I and the old American Association by
. which neither organization was permit
ted to reserve more than fifteen players
■ ; at the close of the season.
The owners of the Athletics, in the
i! American Association, desired to keep
j sixteen of their men, but. as only iif-
I teen could be legally reserved, the only
! way open was to leave one name off
! the list and take a chance on no other
i elu'b picking up the player. According-1
j lv the Athletic management failed to '
j name Bierbauer in the reserve list, j
j hoping the omission would be over
i looked. But a friend of the Pittsburgh l
! club noted that Bierbauer's name was
missing and, as Louis was a much
sought player, the friend told Horace;
Phillips, manager of the Pittsburgh I
j club. Phillips proceeded to Erie, Pa., \
where Louis passed the winter months
at his home.
Bierbauer was willing to listen, a|
tempting offer was made, and when |
Phillips returned he brought with him
; the player's signed contract for the foi- I
j lowing season. The whole procedure
• was perfectly regular, under the rules,
and Bierbauer played in Pittsburgh
j for many years, but the manner of his |
i capture caused 110 end of talk in the j
1 j baseball woild, and one Philadelphia!
I writer referred to the affair as an act |
j of "piracy" on the baseball seas. The j
! Pittsburghers were promptly named j
I the "Pirates," and the title has stuck. {

Her Art Not Appreciated
I Varnishing day at the Royal Acade-;
j my is always an important and inter- j
esting function. Canvases and panels |
that, have been thirsty enough to ab- i
j sorb the oil from the whole or portions ■
iof the pictures painted upon them
j have once more luster of their first i
| painting restored by these pick-me-ups.:
Members of the year's hanging com
mittee are always at hand on these
occasions to consider suggestions and j
complaints about their decent labors. 1
; The chief complaint was by .1 lady who
j found her work had been hung hori- j
I zontally instead of vertically. Unkind j
friends cautioned her that possibly it I
| hail been accepted 011 the horizontal un
I derstanding.—New York Sun.
The Minister Was Puzzled
At a marriage service performed 1
! some time ago in a little country j
i church in Georgia, when the minister
j said in a solemn tone, "Wilt thou have)
{ this man to he thy wedded husband?"
I instead of the woman answering for
herself, a gruff man's voice answered:
"1 will.''
The minister looked up, very much j
perplexed, and paused. He repeated j
the sentence, and again the same gruff i
voice answered, "I will "
Again the minister looked up sur- !
prised, not knowing what to make of i
it, when one of the groomsmen at the
end of the row said:
"She is deaf. I am answering for
her.'' —Lippincott's.

Ani'ient. and honorable opponents,
S'teelton and Central-'High, will engage
in a football duel on the grounds of the
I ri-State clii'b to-morrow a'fternoon. The
kickoff is scheduled for ;! plclock. It

Both schools are preparing cheering
squads and Central High lias engaged
the Oommonwea'th band to 'head a pa
rade of students and later piay at bhe
game. Cheer leaders will have charge
of the noise. The Central High section
will be on jhe stands at the east side
of the field while the supporters of the
opposition will be on the op;osite. The
island gridiron has been laid out paral
lei with the left field bleachers, making
it better for t'he spectators.
Although S'teelton fell 'before Leb

bv Harris'burg on Saturday, fans are
looking forward to a. close game, Steel

demonstrating that the (Blue and White
team is not as weak as a't first imag

eleven realises in Steelton a foe worthy
of a great. effort and that effort is 'be

the dosing preparations in botth camps.
Final scrimmage practice was held yes

THE SONGS OF
Selected By J. HOWARD WERT
"The Style in Which It's Done"
No. 3(Wi.
I stand before you once again,
A few words just, to say;
The subject of iny song, I'm sure.
You meet witb ev'ry day.
Some live fast artd others slow,
As though this world «ve run;
But so very much depends upon
The style in which it's done.
Some think it but a simple matter
.lust to steal a kiss;
Now what some consider harmless.
Others ieckon much amiss.
Some treat it as an insult,
Some consider it great fun;
But so very much depends upon
The style in which it's done.
"The World—What We Make It"
This world is not so bad a world
As some would like to make it;
Though whether good or whether had.
Depends on how we take it.
For if we scold and fret all day,
From dewey mom till even.
The world will not afford to man
A foretaste here of Heaven.
This world in truth's as good a world
As e'er was known to any
Who have not seen another vet,
And there are very many;
And, if the men and women, too.
Have plenty of employment,
They surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.

Now has it-nev'r occurred to von
How strange the mystery seem?,
That the girls can dash 'long Chestnut
street,
Who scarce are in their 'eens.
Their pa's are poor, but still they dress,
In a style that's number one;
But I suppose it depends upon
The style in which it's done.
The politician mounts the stand,
And makes a great hurrah;
When another man will mount the stand
And point out every flaw.
He gets the nomination,
And for Congress lie does run,
He succeeds and laughs to think he
knows
The style in which it's done.

The Coiled States revenue cutter

rection of the Treasury Department.
f.® rv 1 K ' e was organised in 1790 and
constituted the original naval force of
the country. There was at that time
no navy department, and the service
was placed under the Treasury Depart
ment, where it has remained ever since,
IMs charged with the enforcement of
the navigation and customs laws of
ie mted States, the assistance of
vessels in distress, the protection of
the sealing industry in Alaska, the en
forcement of the quarantine laws, the
destruction ot derelicts and othor float
mg dangers to navigation and numer
ous other duties appropriate to its class
of vessels. Kadi winter, by direction
ot the I resident, a number of the cut

pose ot assisting vessels in distress.
The service co-operates with the

which the United States 'has' been en
gaged. It is sometimes called the reve-
nue marine service, but revenue cutter
service is the proper name. There are

BLOWN TO SAFETY
Curious Incident of an Explosion That
Wrecked Fifty Homes
It happened that in the last month
of the reign of ( harles I a certain ship
chandler of London was foolish enough
to busy himself over a barrel of gnu
I powder with a lighted candle In his
i hand. He paid the price of his fol.'v.
I A spark fell into the gunpowder and
the place was blown up.
The trouble was that the man who
j did the mischief was not the onl\ one
to perish. Fifty houses were wreeke I
and the number of people who were
killed was not known.
In one house among the fifty a
■ mother had put her baby into its*era
die to sleep before the explosion oc
j cur red. W hat became of the mother
| no one ever knew, but what became of
|th baby was very widely known. The
next morning there was found upon
the leads of the Church of Allhallows
I a young child in a cradle, baby and
j cradle being entirely uninjured by the
i explosion that had lifted both to such
! a giddi heiirl I.
It was never learned who the child
I was, but. she was adopted by a gentle
