Anna herself gate gorgeous affairs. It was a strenuous siege. The Gould money Cosed like water, but its flow was not sufficient to wipe away the barrier that society bad erected against tfce assaults of Bonl. Anna gave up the fight, and soon after rumors of differences between herself end the count began to be known. The eventual result of these differ ences the world knows. Disappointed in Boni as a man and as a titled being, the countess began to devote herself to their two children. Bonl. quit® content with such an arrangement, wont elsewhere. The pretense of a home was kept up; but Boni and Anna had ceased to be man and wife. At the same time the countess gave up for the time being her siege of Paris and lived a quiet, uneventful existence until tbe De Sagan affair. This was tbe second stage in tbe new siege of Paris. The Prince de Sagan, being Boni's own cousin, was one of the persons who strove to as sist Anna in breaking through tbe barrier of reserve that hedges around French aristocracy. He was one of those who heeded Boni's appeal and used such influence as he had to force from his friends invitations to the new countess And it was his hearty ef forts along this line, his sympathy for the countess struggling for recogni tion under the handicap of Boni's repn tation. that first won him the rggard of Anna. Way Cleared for His Courtship. “After all." said he, "what is social eminence but t« be a shining mark for tfce misfortunes that attend the mighty? Were It not better, more conducive to happiness, for two souls between whom exists a mutual bond to make their own happiness without troubling about society. Two**earts that understand one another, alone in a villa in the country, away from such sordid self-seeking as exists in this city—ah! such is the ideal existence." Little by little the countess began to think that way. too. At the same time it is said that she never over looked the fact that the Prince de Sagan, even if he was in debt up to his ears, was in infinitely better stand ing that poor Boni de CasteUane. There were at least a few of the high houses in Paris open to the prince: they were a'J shut to Boni. Again, it was said that De Sagan, while no an gel. was a better man than Boni. He was esteemed and respected by many worthy people. Would it not be pos sible, with the De Sagan holdings and tit!es rehabilitated by her money, once more to lay siege to Paris—and win? Why not? It had only been Boni's reputation that had kept her from at tain :::g her heart's desire—social lead ership in the capittal. Behind him her money had been useless. But with De Sagan, how different it might be. The subsequent courtship of tbe prince, his fight with Boni. Anna's flight to America, the prince's follow ing. the strenuous objections of Anna's brother, and the sudden mar riage of the Prince and Anna while the scandal of the affair was at white fceat. all are well known to every newspaper reader in the world. The couple went to I’aly to spend their honeymoon. After a stay they re turned to Paris. And then came shock Xo 2 for Anna, now Princess de Sagan. Sccfety Open in Its Disapproval. To her amazement the social lead ers of Paris had been shocked at her flair v ith De Sagan. The aristocrats. > on: lered the most lenient in the world in matters matrimonial, did not approve of the divorce and remarriage under tbe circumstances. They went further than before: they made no effort to hide the fact that for their actions the Prince and Princess de Sucan had been sent to social Coven try. The birth of a child to the pair did little to soften the attitude of the haughty toward them. They still were outcasts from the highest walks of Paris Th- n the prince's father, the Duke of Talleyrand, died. The prince inher ited tbe title. The inheritance brought nothing else with it, for the old duke long had been in hopeless debt and had exis'ed on a pitiful allowance of $5,000 a year. But the title—ah. that was the thing. It opened doors that nothing else could force. "The Duke and Duchess of Talley rand," announced the footmen, and society's portals opened and they walked right In. For the title Duchess of Talleyrand is one of the proudest in all Kurope, and she who bears it must be acknowledged a social queen, no matter what has gone before. The title was first given to the great Tal leyrand. and since his time all its bearers have been persona grata even with the proverbial crowned heads of Europe. ^ So Anna Gould has triumphed at last What Jay Gould's millions could not do, what the successive titles of countess and princess could not do, ihe death of an old man. and the sub sequent inheritance of a title by his son. has accomplished. The siege of Paris becomes a victory, and Anna today is one of the foremost leaders of Parisian society.

THK classification legislation in the National association national agreement uill be revised at the annual meeting of that organization in Chicago next fait The system tuay not undergo radical change. but there will be modifications that will do away with abuses and injustices that have arisen in the course of the develop ment oi the game, to individual minor leagues in all sections of the country. The major leagues are interested in the matter, because the draft price of the player Is d< termined by the rank of the minor league of which the club to which he belongs is a mem ber at the time of his selection, but the parties of the Erst part In the agreement will have no part in the new grouping of the minor leagues. This power is delegated to the minors by section 5 of Article 6 of the na tional agreement, which reads as fol lows; The National association shall have the classification of its leagues and the adoption of a salary for its clubs according to such classification and it agrees to withdraw protection front any league which allows any of its clubs to exceed the salary limit pre scribed for leagues of Its classifies tion. The succeeding section fixes the ice fo~ selecting a t'lass A player by major club at $1.0*0; if a class R ’.aver at $73*1; of a Class C player at itwj, and of a player 'from a club of lower closs." at $300 The quoted words were manifestly employed in ex pectation of the creation of classes be low l» and are assutedly sufficiently elastic tc include the rest of the letters of the alphabet. However, it is ap parent that, although the National as sociation has sole control of the grading of its leagues in rank, three classes—A, 11 and C— must be retained in order that the drafting rights of the major leagues under Section t>. Ar ticle fi. may be exercised at the price fixed for each of these ranks. "Are the Tigers out of the pennant running this year? Decidedly not. said Manager Hughey Jennings the other dry. "We’ve get to work hard er than ever befare. that’s all. Who do I think will win if we fail to get in at the finish. Well, frankly. I like the looks ot the Red Sox. The Red Sox team has even chances with the Ath letics of landing first In the race, de spite the big handicap the Connie Macks now have on Taylors men. As long as this Red Sox smash bang hit ting continues nothing in the world will stop the team. Great pitching by a remarkable pitching staff such as the Athletics have will win a pennant, sometimes, but when you have to choose between a team that Is playing great ball in th* field and hitting fair ly well behind wonderful pitchers, and a team that Is bubbling over with con fidence which has resulted from a long stretch or victories is able to start a batting rally which means everywhere from three to four singles to six ot eight hits with doubles and triples scattered among them, and has a couple of great left handers, who sel dom pitch thre*». four or five hit games, but who never get hammered out of the box either, why, give rae the chaps who are hitting and who have the confidence.

He Is fairly well satisfied with the way they are performing, but is anxious to Improve the staff as much as he can. Next year he expects to have two or three new men of intelligence and good judgment. In order to get high class men for the position.' said the league chief, "it is necessary to make the work attractive Intelligent men will not stand for constant daily abuse on the field, and I am doing my best to eliminate the use of bad laguage by players. If we can hush up the rough fellows it will be easy to get a fine class of men to do the umpiring, for it is interesting work. I think we are making progress siong that line Kvery case of profane or obscene lan guage used to an umpire calls for a fine or suspension and this rule is being rigorously enforced." Mr. Lynch is very earnest in his desire to make the game clean and attractive to the best people and he is succeeding in his intention.

PT JOE TINKER •Copyright. ISM. hv Joseph B. BowVs.1 Playing for one run at a time, and making sure of that one. is the way to win at baseball. The day of big bat ting averages is over, and the team that can advance runners steadily and work together at the bat. and on the bases, is the winner. In the first place the pitching has become so good that one run counts for twice as much as it did even ten years ago—and the first run in a game counts for more than that 1 think a team wins that has a good man. especially a good waiter, whs also can hit. leading off. If the first man up in a game gets to first, is sac rificed down, and either of the nest two batters can get him home, that game is almost won right there. The other team is handicapped, is unable to play as resourceful and mixed up a game as it could do if ahead, or on equal terms, while the team that is leading can take chances and vary the style of attack, standing a much bet ter chance of making more runs sim ply because It can afford to take chances, while the other team must play a desperate defensive game, play close and take desperate chances to cut off runs Tee Cubs have won three pennants by playing for one run a time, be cause their pitchers hare always held the other teams down to low scores, an-4 I thick we hare the best team at making the one run that ever was or ganized. The way to get that one run is to have a resourceful attack, and to keep outguessing the other leant all the time and never allow the style of play to become machine-lika By that 1 mean to hit the first ball when the pitcher Is expecting you tc wait, to wait when he expects you to hit and to wait him out tc the limit if he shows any signs of unsteadiness We fre quently wait out pitchers for three ot four innings, perhaps without getting a hit or a base and then switch the system and hit the first ball that comes over. We fight all the time to get that first man on bases Then if the opening is made, we change the game and try to surprise the other team. If they are creeping in. expect ing bunts, we may switch and play hit and run It is merely trying to do the unexpected and our whole scheme of attack is based on getting one run across I think we have been so suc cessful at this because we have a per feet signaling system. Each batter has three signals with the three men Joe Tinker. ahead of him. and three with the three who follow him. Ordinarily Chance permits us to tsse our own judgment as to what to do at bat and on bases, but if he gives a signal from the bench it is carried out- If he signals hit. the batter hits, if bunt, he bunts, and it is that working together and hitting together that has won for US. No matter how good a player may be. he is worthless to a club until he learns to forget himself and his bat ting average and hit for runs. It is team work and team hitting that wins games. O'Rourke to Play One More Game. Expressing a desire to rqund out 4..' years of professional baseball playing. James H. "Orator" O'Rourke of BrUgeport (Conn.) League, lawyer, former owner of the Bridgeport team, and one of the oldest, if not the oldest professional player in the country, will probably catch one game for New Ha ven during the present season.

CRONKEY’S WHISKY CACHES Sportsman Who Hides Jugs of Liquor Throughout the Woods in Case of Emergency. "Going up in the Adlrondacks after trout, eh?" said the sportsman. "Weil, if you strike the Beaver River country look up my friend Dave Cronkey. Dave is not only an excellent guide, but he possesses a magic wand that can locate a drink of whisky for you whenever you want iL And this in spite of the fact that he never touches a drop him self. I was up there last fall after deer, and the first day out 1 had a chill. We were away over near Witch hopple lake, ten miles from anywhere. Td give a good bit for a drink of whisky.’ I said. ’I guess I can fix you.' said Dave, and, walking to a hol iow log about a dozen rods away, be produced a bottle. I took a good swig, and he put the bottle back. The next day he repeated this performance over on Branch mountain, and the third day he uncovered a bottle in a, pile of dead leaves along Red Horse j creek. You see. the people who come up from the city to shoot and fish generally bring along a supply, and what is left over when they go home they leave with Dave. He hides it at various points throughout the woods for use in case of emergency. He tells me he has over a hundred bottles cached In this matter. Take my ad vice, and cotton to Dave."

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON Per Cent, of Sufferers Is Enormous and There Seems but One Remedy. From several investigations that have been made by the National As sociation for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis, it is estimated, that on an average about fifteen per cent- of the prison population of the country is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the SO.OOO prison ers housed in the penal institutions of the United States at any given time, not less than 12.000 are infected with this disease. If the PhiUpptm islands and other insular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania. Kan sas and Ohio show such shocking con ditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could be found in almost every state, and in the major ity of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones. Quaint Table Manners.
