Milan Playing Great Game
For Washington.
Photo by American Press Association.
Clyde Milan of tho Washlngtons Is
now playing the kind of ball that
placed his name among tho crack out
fielders of tho country last season.
When Milan is at his best he has no
superior as a fielder, and if ho were
on a winning team ho would make
them all hustle to beat him as a run
getter.
While Milan must bo numbered
among the good hitters of tho league,
many of his bits are tho result of his
great speed in going to first base. It
has been his speed this year which
has kept his a vera go above tho coreted
mark, though recently he haa been get
ting his share of clean drives.
Milan on a team which would win
half of its games or more would size
up well with any fielder in tho tongue,
not barring Cobb or Speaker, but on
a losing team tho players of the Milan
typo do not have the same number of
opportunities to shine, and It is there
fore all the more remarkable that Mi
lan should bo generally recognized as
one of tho greatest fielders In the busi
ness. Publio Taboos Umpire Baiting.
"In my experienced as an umpire 1
learned to my surprise that tho base
ball public in practically all the big
cities do not care for kicking against
decisions," says Jack Doyle. "Condi
tions have changed since I played tho
game. In the old days the fans want
ed to see aggressive playing, which In
cluded the umpires, with the result that
thero was much disorder. But it has
been shown that kicking doesn't pay
when umpires can suspend valuable
players for three days at a time. Tho
fans dont like to have their teams
weakened in this manner, and conse
quently they have frowned on the kick
ers. An umpire can do better work if
let ulonc. Even if a few decisions are
Incorrect thoy even up in the long run.
It Is also true that an umpire who
knows that ho is going to receive a
square deal from players and public
will do his level beat to bo impartial.
If an umpire Is Insulted It Is human
naturo for him to nurso a grievance,
and it Is hard for him to keep fron
squaring accounts."
Runner Hedlund to Rest Up.
It is pleasing to note that Oscar F.
Hedlund has decided to quit racing for
a time. IIo has been running almost
continuously since last winter and
wants a much needed rest Clarence H.
DeMar, the wonderful distance runner
of tho North Dorchester A. A., who
has done what few winners of the
American Marathon run have ever
done in winning so many contests In
such a short space of tlmo after tho
B. A. A. event, also intends to retire
for a short time. There is no Mam
thoner In this country who has such a
grand chance of making the American
Olympic team which goes to Sweden
next year. It Is tho hopo of all New
Englanders Interested in athletics that
ho will follow his Intention of not com
peting until the fall at least

WHAT WILL BE DONE
WITH WOMRN JURORS?
A Fow Knotty Problems Prosented to
Washington Judges.
What to do with women who will
be called to serve as jurors with men
when tho Spokane (Wash.) county su
perior court convenes next September
is one of tho vexing problems con
fronting tho five members of tho bench,
beaded by Judge Henry L. Ccnnan.
The various clubs In Spokane have
given out statements that their mem
bers are ready and willing to do jury
duty. The Judges hopo a modern Sol
omon or Portia will como forward
to unravel tho tangles presented by
these possible situations:
If twelve women are selected to try
a case and six disagree from the other
six.
If four women decide they are right
In a civil action and six men Jurors
hold opposlto views.
If a mixed Jury of men and women
13 kept together In n felony case un
til all are agreed upon a verdict
If six women and six men are locked
In a room to detcrmlno tho guilt or
'Innocouco of n person charged with
a capital crime.
Relating to service of Jurors in the
superior court tho law adopted by the
legislature of 1011 says:
"Any woman desiring to bo excused
from jury service may claim exemp
tion by signing a written or printed
notice thereof and returning same to
tho sheriff before the date of appear
ance, nnd if exemption is claimed by
reason of sex no fee shall bo allowed
for her appearance."
Tho law provides that tho Jury
sworn to try tho Issues in felony cases
shall bo kept together and in custody
of tho officers of tho court except dur
ing the actual progress of tho trial,
thus putting it squarely up to the
Judges to solve tho problem If the
women who desire to servo as Jurors
cannot settle It themselves.
"BLUE ROSE" A FAILURE.
Floriculturists Unable to Produce a
Rose of That Color.
The "bluo rose" which It was said
had been grown In Oregon, tho mod
ern land of the rose, Becms to be a
disappointment This adds another
to a long list of failures, for tho pro
duction of a roso of that color Is a
task which floriculturists set them
selves years ago. At tho London
flower show Inst winter it was an
nounced that a south of England
grower had been successful, and soon
afterward it was asserted that a Jap
anese gardener had also produced a
perfect "blue rose." In both these
cases, however, the Dowers were small,
according to tho reports of Investiga
tors, and at only one Btago of their
bloom purplish in color. They wero
far from tho roso grower's Ideal of
a large, brilliant bloom with a per
manency of color.
This appears to bo likewise true of
tho Oregon flower. Tho plant, which
has been the subject of much caro
and considerable hopefulness, was se
cured two years ago in Nebraska and
is in bloom now for tho first time.
When tho blossom appears It Is pink
in color, and, according to tho descrip
tion, "Just before tho petals fall off
they change to a purplish blue." Tho
Dower is said to havo little in common
with tho modern rose, resembling
somewhat "the wild roso or sweet bri
er," and nt no tlmo Is tho color very
distinct. Tho Portland Oregonian says
that florists "are inclined to brand tho
flower a fake."
CENTER OF POPULATION.
It Has Moved Westward and Is Now
Located In Indiana.
"Westward tho courso of emplro
takes its way" is corroborated by tho
census bureau. Tho center of popula
tion In the last ten years has traveled
westward, tho geographer of tho bu
reau says, and only slightly northward.
"Tho center of population," says Ge
ographer Charles 8. Sloan of tho bu
reau, "la located approximately four
and a half miles south of Unlonville.
Monroe county, Ind. Its location at
tho previous census was In Bartholo
mew county, Ind., six miles southeast
of Columbus.
"Its northern movement during tho
decade, therefore, was only soven
tenths of a mile, whllo its western
movement was approximately thirty
ono miles, moro than twice that of tho
previous decade, 1800 to 1000, when its
western march was fourteen miles.
This acceleration of tho western move
ment is duo principally to tho growth
of the Pacific and southwestern states."
Tho center of population means tho
spot from which thero Is an equal dis
tribution of population to tho four
points of tho compass, Tho present es
timates toko Into account tho popula
tion of continental United States ex
clusive of Alaska and tho Insular pos
sessions. TEN BARRELS OF FUES.

United States senato In 1803 Senator
Martin was not only a "railroad agent
and lobbyist" beforo tho legislature of
Virginia, but was ono of the disbursing
agents of the "yellow dog" fund of the
railroads. Tho senator indignantly
denies tho charges as wholly false, vi
cious and slanderous and says that Mr.
.Tones is merely trying to make politi
cal capital.
Senator Martin is a native of Vir
ginia and n lawyer by profession. Ho
was educated at tho Virginia Military
institute and served as a cadet in the
Confederate army during tho last year
of the war. Until elected United
States senator he had never held nor
beeu candidate for any political office.

5100,000 that had been used to elect
William Lorimer to tho United States
CLAUEKCH B. FUNK.
senate. Edward Hines, millionaire
lumberman of Chicago, Is tho man who
asked Funk to contribute, according
to tho letter's testimony.
Mr. Hlnes has sworn that the state
ment of Funk was false. Ho also tes
tified that Funk voluntarily offered
to contribute to tho Lorimer fund.
Mr. Funk has been with tho harvest
er company for tho past nine years

social circles in Chicago. He lias al

power in Illinois politics for many
years.
Ambassador Bryce's Wit.
Ambassador James Bryce was talk,
lng at a reception in Washington
about tho abolition of "birching" at
Eton, the famous English public
school.
"I am glad," said Mr. Bryco, "that
Eton boys will be no longer birched.
I am afraid that so mo of the masters
of Eton havo hitherto believed too
strongly In the apothegm, 'A pupil's
extremity Is a teacher's opportunity.' "

Civilizing the Indian.
Tho following Is from "Tho Soul of
the Indian," a book by Dr. Charles
Alexander Eastman, himself an Indian:
"Long before I ever heard of Christ
or saw n white man I bad learned from
an untutored woman the essence of
morality. With tho help of dear na
ture herself she taught me things slih
ply b'lt of mighty Import. I knew God.,
I perceived what goodness Is. I saw
and lovl what is really beautiful. Civ
ilization has not taught me anything
bettor. As a child I understood how to
give. 1 have forgotten that grace slnco
l became civilized. I lived the natural
life, whereas I now live tho artificial.
Any pretty pebble was valuable to mo
then, every growing thing an object of
reverence. Now I worship with the
white man beforo a painted landscape
whoso value is painted In dollars. Thus
tho Indian Is reconstructed, as tho nat
ural rocks are ground to powder and
mado Into artificial blocks which may
bo built Into tho walls of modcru soci
ety," Bigness of Big Ben.
Big Ben, which marks tho hours for
parliament at tho top of tbe clock tow
er at Westminster. Is bigger than It ap
pears from below. Looking at the dial
of Big Bon from the northern footway
of Great George street or from the
Thames embankment, It appears as If
Its diameter might bo equal to the
space that a man of medium size could
cover with outstretched arms. As a
matter of fact, however, tho dlamoter
of tho dial is twenty-three foot. From
tho ground the mlnuto marks on tho
dial look like ordinary minute marks
and as if thoy were close together.
Iteally thoy are a foot apart. The nu
merals are two feet long. The minute
hand, with Its counter balance tho
heavy piece of metal that projects be
yond tho center of the dial Is fifteen
feet In longth. This hand Is so massive
that during a snowstorm the clock Is
sometimes retarded by tho weight of
tho flakes that alight on it London
