" | AROUSED OVER HICKEY'S MANEUVERS Dale Genr Enters an Emphatic Pro- Charge of Amer- lean Aswociation Being ¢, Aain an Outlaw. KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 06— (Special Telegram.)—President James Whitfleld of the Western league i evidently worrled over the reports from Omaha to the effect that President Hickey of the Amerlcan assoclations was attempting to buy out the interests of Willlam Rourke, the Western league 1| Whitfleld left for Should the deal between Hickey Rourke go through the American associa- tion will come into possession of the only park in tihe Nebraska city and the present situatfon would be reversed.

Gear, part owner of the | local team. He does not defend his organ- ization, he says; it needs mone. But he does object to his assoclates in base ball belug classed with highwaymen by the Western league boosters. A league com- | posed of towns far above the class of the | average minor dedgue city is deserving of | encouragement in a city ltke Kansas City, | which has refused to support such ball i furnished by the Western league What Gear objects to is the statement that the American association has no stand- ing in base ball and is an outlaw. The only argument offered to support these views are the fact that it is not allied with the minor league association and is mot old enough to be classed among the two big leagues, It is surely no fault of the promoters of the organization that it is not older and the only polnt on the other score is that the American aesoclation s composed of such citles that deserve dnd are golng to be classed above the minor league standing. Charge of Belng an Outlaw. Genr, ““Ts anyone who has any knowledge what- ever of the present base ball situation.’” said Gear yesterday, “the cry that we are outlaws is really humorous. I bave no de- sire whatever (o enter into & newspaper controversy concerning the merits of the | rival leagues, but when we are accused of | being no better than a pack of thieves I think it 1s about time that the public was being set aright. If our organization I8 in the outlaw class, (hen the American and Na- tional leagues are also outlaws, for as far as | know they are not members of the fonal Association of Base Ball clubs. ur organization Is sald to be an out- cast and will not be recomnized when the general peace meeting is held. This is no causo for worry among those not friendly | to us. We are well able to take care of ourselves and 1 hardly belleve the big leagues are prepared to ignore a league made up of such towns as Kansas City, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Certalnly not to secure the triendship of such metropolises as Colorado Springs and Des Moines. This fs a matter which does not seem to be causing us nearly the amount of worry that it Is the Western league supporters. “As to the local situation It Is best that the fans judge that for themselves. When the season opens we will have a team of fast men at Exposition park to represent the/town and should the other club, of which there has been some tafk, ever get so far 4s_to have a team of men on the fleld, we will be found ready to meet them in a series of any number of games."

What are left of thesa desks are stored in the basement under the rotunda of the capitol, says the Washington Star, and dally they are hunted through by some representative who realizes that here is an opportunity to perpetuate his glory as a national leglslator and estab- lish an heirloom in his family to be used by children's children as an incentive to oratory and statesmanship. At the last session, when the house de- clded to refurnish, a resolution was passed that members who desired to purchase their old desks should be allowed to do so after a price had been established by an auction of a few of them. Chlet Clerk Willlam J. Browning of the house was charged with carrying out the resolution, and Mr. Brown- ing is finding his task one which needs not only commercial instinct, but the skill of a diplomat. In order to ascertain the wish of members in this regard Mr. Browning sent notices to each of the members of the Fifty-sixth congress, askiog them to communicate thelr desires to him in writing on this matter. A tew responded, but the indications were, up to o short time ago, that the desks were to be a drug on the market. Just before the present congress assems bled about seventy-five of the desks were sont to an auction room one Saturday to be s0ld for the purpose of establishing a price. Fifty of these desks now adorn a study room in & young ladies’ seminary, while twenty-five were bought by souvenir ?unb ers. It Is evident that the auctioneer missed his cue in not impressing the prospective purchasers with the fact that many great men had formulated the natlon's policies behind these same desks, for he only re- celved prices ranging from $1.10 te $1.75 for each desk. Clerk Browning holds that the average price was $1.50, and “what desks remaln in the rotunda are being supplied to members at that rate. Many gf the members of the last congress who failed of re-election to the present have not been heard from on the matter of desks, and should there he any left afier those who are entitled to them are supplied Mr. Browning believes he will have no trouble in disposing of them to persons who elther want realize thelr prospective future wvalue of such articles.

It fs always the unexpected that happens, and then in the most as- tounding and improbable manner. In this .| respect “Beyond the Great South Wall” re- minds one of “The War of the Worlds." It 1s the story of a party of English people thrown together in a most unexpected man ner by a shipwreck off the southern coast of America. Then follows a long series of hair-lifting adventures. The ship is driven far southward by a terrible storm and finally {3 carried by a great tidal wave far up into an inland lake on the Antarctic continent. Great earthquakes , follow and the water disappears from the lnke, leav- |Ing the ship wedged in the rocks. Then there are tany more strange adventures, especlally with a great beast, a monster that scientists had supposed was extinct Mora eirthquakes follow and the water re- Appears in the lake, but it+is boiling hot. Finally the rock separating the lake from tho #ea 1s split and a paseage opened for the escape of the ship. The story turns out happily and the hero and heroine re- turn to their English homes in safety. Run- | ning through the story there is a senti- mental romance that turns out satisfac- torlly to all concerned. New Amsterdam Book company, New York “Love's Itinerary” is the latest novel by J. C. Snaith, author of “Lady Barbarity,” Fierce Heart tho Soldier” and “Mistress Dorothy Marvin." The many people who read and enjoyed “Lady Barbarity” will be pleased with_ this new work from the same pen. It has been brought out in paper cov- ers as a part of the Town and Country Library. Mr. Snalth is at home in elght- | eenth century England, and this pleturesque romance, told with so much zest and o full of strange incidents and good humor, shows this rising novelist at his best. The scens opens in London with the graphic introduc- tion of the gilded youth of the period In adversity, and thereafter follows a serles of quaint adventures which develop a tale | of woman's constancy. There are irksome experiences encountered with unfalling good nature, and there are rowards snatched from fate or unexpectedly discovered. The delightful glimpses of the times which afford a vivid atmosphere and coloring include the introduction of Henry Fielding. D. Apple- ton & Co., New York, Current Magasines. Not many magazines live to print their three-thousandth number, yet the fssue of the Living Age for January 4, 1902, bears | that number on its title page. Founded by | the late Mr. B. Littell in 1844, this ma zlue has carrled to its readers overy Sat- urday for nearly fifty-elght years whatever was freshest, most important and most in- teresting in the whole fleld of forelgn peri- odical literature. It has retained its esson- tial characteristics through this long period and while other magazines have come and gone bas strengthened its hold, year by year, upon the intelligent constituency to which it ministers. The International Monthly begins the new year with a number, even greater than usual, of strong and attractive articles, all, for the most part, devoted to the larger | themes and interests. The table of contents for January has such features as ‘“The Jury,” “The Excavations at Aegina," “Women and Work in England,” “‘French Impressions and Its Influence in Europe,” “Things Municipal,” “Tendencies in Ger- man Life and Thought Since 1870, “Con- temporary France: with Respect to an Eng- lish Work” and “Prof. Lounsbury on Shakespearean Critlclsm.” The January Era more than redeems all the promises made by its publishers. It is bright and interesting throughout, but is at the same time entirely free from frritating striving. It contains something for all mag- azine readers, while many are sure to read the magazine from beginning to end, and then wish for more. Among the most strik- ing features are: The first instalment of “Gabriel Tolliver,” a new novel by Joel Chandler Harris; “Alfred East, A. R. A, by Willlam Armstrong; a story of Morocco, “The Fool's Fandak,” by A. J. Dawson, author of “The African Nights Entertain- ments;" an eloquent tribute to the late President McKinley and Mrs. McKinley by Clara Morrls When Oldest East Meets Newest West,” by Wardon Allan Curtis, and “Mining Women of Colorado,” bysMary E. Stickney. The regular features are as bright and varied as ever. Willlam 8. Walsh commants entertainingly on current Iiterary topics. The January Atlantic opens with a pre- amble on “Reading the Aflantic Cheer- fully.”” Prof. John B. Clark of Columbia university contributes a notable article in the “Looking Backward" veln. Rollo Ogden contributes a rather startling article upon the question of ‘“The Powers of the Na- tlonal Chairman,” showing how in his per- son each of the great political parties has ralsed up an irresponsible dictator for it- self. Willlam M. Salter discusses the ques- tion, “What Is the Real Emancipation of Woman,” and Winthrop M. Daniels, “Divin- ation by Statistics,” makes what is wsually considered a dull topic, bright and enter- taining. R. Brimley Johnson's letter from England introduces many reeent and inter- esting toples In a general summary of the results and happenings of the yenr in Eng- land. There are many other features of interest. Are England, Scotland and Ireland des- tined, ultimately, to become a part of “The United States of America and Great Brit- ain?" 1s the startling inquiry which Willlam T. Stead makes in the January Cosmopoli- tan. He has been one of the prophets of Great Britain, and bas, at all times, been able to see in advance of his contemporaries —as events have proven. He has been studying the new conditions brought about by the industrial combinations and reaches the conclusion that England and the United States are destined to be more closely united and that as soon as the English peo- ple wake up to the absurdity and general uselessness, as has been shown in the Boer war, of a king and aristocracy, the trend will be Immediate in the direction of a unfon with the people of the United States, However much one may differ from Mr. Stead, his speculations will be found vastly interesting. He is the first British subject who has had the eourage to suggest such an outcome.

Frank E. the Saalfield swe Marcus YOUNG neiples of Hyglene to Be Observed in Children's Garments. An English surgeon calls attention to the great discomfort or actual fojury caused by 1ll-fitting garments worn by & growing child. Clothing for young chil- dren is usually made In large quantities at a time. All the garments of the lot are cut after a fixed pattern, the different parts belng pleced together rapldly and stitched by machine, all at the least pos- sible cost. The clothes are usually graded according to age, instead of size, and so a child who 1s larger or smaller than the average for his age gets a misfit. But even those whose size and age agree are often no better off. . The parent may notice tha the child stoops and cannot be made to carry itselt erect. Some one, perhaps the family phy- siclan, may suggest that the frock is not loose enough, but the mother demon- strates to her own satisfaction that it is by gathering up folds of the garment in her hand or by running her hand under it. But if the frock s removed and meas- ured, tront and back, It will be notlced that the measurements over the chest and the back are the same; in other words, the armholes are directly in the center. It the child’s arms were dlso directly in the center, the shirt or blouse would be an excellent fit; but the child’s anatomy is not 80 that Its chest should bulge out to make room for the lungs, while the back should be flat and more or less rigid. 18 that the shoulders are constantly drawn forward,.and so the expansion of the Men's $2.50 Box Calt— A box calf—genuine box calf uppers— no side leather—with genuine welt soles of best quality oak tan sole leather—a shoe that will be a surprise to you when we name theiprice—§2.50-a shoe that for service and fitting quality can't be beat-made with the popular toe and heavy welt sole—This I8 the first time we have ever offered a genuine box calf welt sole man's shoe for §2.50—-simply because until now we could not get a shoe to sell at this price that we could recommend—We owmend this one, Drexel Shoe Co.. 1419 FARNAM STREET.

The strong box in the Fifth Avenue Safe psit company vaults in which Alfred Hallenbeck, known as the “honest gamb- and who died last February, deposited his euperfluious wealth, has been opened.

Besides thers were a quantity of 1. 0. U's. Hallenbeck kept a gambling house at 107 West Forty-fifth strcet for many years. Be- fore his death he had given the keys of his strong box to his wife and, according to her story, told her that there was a consid- erable fortune for her in the box. Upon opening the box everybody present gasped for breath. At one corner of the box was a deep package of $1,000 bills, sur- rounded by a heap of loose didmonds, rub- fes and emeralds. There was at least a full handful of dla- monds, beeides many other pleces and as- sortments of valuable jewelry. There were brooches studded with all manner of gems, neoklaces, bracelets, algrettes, tlaras, cres- cents and stars of dlamonds, rings and pins. Under all these jewels, heaped up ine discriminately, were the bonds and securi- ties. The contents of the box represented at least $160,000, If not more.
