BASEBALL CURE FOR INSANE Treatment Is Not Altogether New— Expert Says- It Quickens Sluggish Brains and Wits. Baseball dope, the batting averages, league standings, vital statistics and the rest of the assorted, first-aid-to the-curious information, is now- being put to practical use in curing back ward minds and incorrigible students in the Newton Technical high school, Boston. However, the use of baseball for the treatment of ailing minds is not alto gether new, for Dr. VV. O. Krolin, for mer professor of psychology at the 1 niversity of Illinois, and head phy sician at the Kankakee asylum, as- i serts that baseball was usod most ben eficially while he was at the state in- 1 stitution and he had as an asistant Frank Pfeffer, who pitched for the Cubs last year and this year is with the Boston Nationals. Dr. Krohn is a firm believer in the use of baseball as%i treatment fer the insane, but says that it is especially valuable in quickening dull wits and speeding the sluggish brain into ac tivity. "loa might say without departing f-cm the literal truth that baseball makes the insane sane and the sane insane." said the doctor. “At least 'he sane often give manifestations of ! violent insanity while the insane seem ! rational while under the influence of baseball." The new curative baseball scheme became effective when it was found that baseball was something which. If properly applied, instilled a new In terest into the fading intellects of the unfortunates. It made smiles of in telligence come on their faces Their l.stless eyes brightened for a moment, apathy was dispelled, the half-open mouths closed—all at the mention of Hans Wagner's batting average and its comparison to Lajoie's cunning. Dr. Krohn is an all-around heavy weight expert In the psychological lore, and talks Interestingly of his ex perience with the inmates of the state institution. “In Kankakee there are men lu natics who sit from day to day and don't move a muscle or think a I thought," said the doctor. “They don't! live; they merely endure like a piece : of furniture. Come up behind a group j of them and whisper to them. 'How j about a little game of ball.’ and you'll ; see a change that is surprising." Dr. Krohn told of the successful teams that had been organized from j the material feund in the asylum. “They'll take their positions in the field when the game is called. A man ! who is in for believing himself to be the missing link is pitcher. Another I whose ailment results from imagining ! himself a complete Egyptian dynasty j j is catcher. The first baseman Is the i same sad fool you will see at other j times, walking around with his head thrown back. He is balancing his nose for fear it might fall off his face if he didn’t. And so with the test of them. Crazier than a quilt. “And the fans. They’re still crazy, only in a conventional way for the time being. “The first ball Is thrown. It's hit. The batter runs to first base. His mind is as clear as a looking glass. “The whole thing is only a case of making the person occupy himself with something that is interesting to him and baseball is one of the very few things that can interest the in sane. * "With the same idea in mind, fac ulties of schools for backward and in corrigible students have stimulated the feeble minded by making them employ their time working at something they liked, and the faculties learned that there was nothing as generally popu lar as baseball dope.” JIMMY COLLINS IS RELEASED Jakey Atz, Second Baseman, Appoint ed Manager of Providence East ern League Team. Jimmy Collins, manager of the Providence Eastern league team and formerly with the Boston Americans, has received his unconditional release from President Crowlpy. Jake Atz, the ! Jakey Atz. veteran second baseman of the Grays, was appointed to succeed Collins. Dissatisfaction with the way the team has been directed is understood to have caused the owners to make the change. President Crowley said that every effort would be made to strengthen the team. Cubs Get Big Money. The highest salaried big league team is Frank Chance's Chicago Na tional league club. There isn't a doubt of this in spite of the fancy price paid to Mathewson at New York and Cobb. Crawford and MulPu of the Tigers. The three Cub outfielders, Schulte, Sheckard and Hofman, draw down a total of $12,000 a year, Hofman get ting more than either of the other two. Evers and Kllng are close to the $5,000 mark, Mordecai Brown is over it and Tinker gets in the neighbor hood of $4,000. Chance himself pulls out $10,000 straight salary and also shares in the dividends of the club. Neur Neura of IklL? Jiy Garland Vindication Unused Attorney General Prepared Statement Defending His Connection With Telephone Co., but Cleveland Did Not Give It Out. The greatest embarrassment and the chief annoyance to which Mr. I Cleveland was compelled to submit after he became president in 1SS5 were due to the very vigorous and ap parently plausible attempt to involve his attorney general, Augustus H. Garland of Arkansas, in some kind of pecuniary scandal in connection with an attempt to organize an independent telephone company based upon de ■ vices said to have been invented by another than Prof. Alexander Graham BelL There was no man in the cabinet for whose integrity and ability Mr. Cleveland had a higher regard. There were three men whom Cleveland took from the United States senate to serve in his first cabinet—Thomas F. Bayard, as secretary of state; L. Q. ; C. Lamar as secretary of the interior, and Senator Garland, as attorney gen eral. Like Senator Vest of Missouri. Senator Garland had served in the Confederate upper house before he was elected to the United States sen ate. Mr. Cleveland was very fond of listening to certain of Mr. Garland's recollections of the days when he was a member of the Confederate senate. He did not know Mr. Garland socially at the time he asked him to enter his cabinet, yet. within a few weeks after they first met at the cabinet table, the president gave to his attorney general aE large a measure of his con fidence as he ever gave to any man. with perhaps one or two exceptions. Then of a sudden was exploded the scandal—so-called—of the telephone company, involving, apparently, the attorney general. Mr. Cleveland was greatly distressed. His confidence in Senator Garland was not shaken, but he felt as if there ought to be a com plete denial and one which could not be questioned, since it was essential that his administration should begin without a taint of any scandal. The matter was discussed at sev j eral cabinet meetings, Mr. Garland in sisting that his connection With the company, such as it was, was abso lutely defensible, that there was no taint attached to it. “But.” said the president, "there should be some statement coming from you which may put an end to these scandals. Will you prepare a statement of that kind?" ”1 shall be very glad to do it.” Mr Garland replied. In some way it leaked out that the attorney general was to prepare ar.d make public a statement completely vindicating himself. The days passed and there appeared no statement from Mr. Garland. Splendid silence was maintained, and many persons won dered if Mr. Garland was unable to make a reply. The scandal was a matter of public discussion for some months, but at last it died out. “Now, 1 am able to tell you what the climax, or the sequel, of that mat ter was," Mr. George F. Parker, Mr. Cleveland’s intimate friend and bio grapher, told me recently. “After Mr. Cleveland's first term was ended, he had all of his documents and papers sent to a house he had taken in New York. The 'rubbish,' as he called it, was deposited in an unused upper room. There it lay for several years. Then, as Mr. Cleveland was to move into another house, it seemed to him best that this mass of documents should be sorted and most of them burned or sold for waste paper after having been torn up. We shut our selves up in that room for nearly a week, only leaving it to get our meals and seek our beds. Mr. Cleveland ruthlessly destroyed a lot of docu ments that I was sure had historic value, but he thought not. "At last ne discovered in a large envelope some manuscript. Taking it therefrom, he told me that here was the statement prepared by Attorney General Garland in vindication of him self in the scandal matter, and an other statement on the case which Mr. Cleveland himself had prepared. He looked curiously and retrospective ly at these manuscripts. He said that he had not liked the statement Mr. Garland had prepared, or rather the manner in which he had prepared it, so he himself took the statement, analyzed it. saw that It contained a perfect vindication and then spent the greater part of the night writing out a statement of his own. There were 18 foolscap pages of manuscript in these statements. “‘Tear them up,’ said Mr. Cleve land. ’they were never published and there is no reason for keeping them.' “ ‘But.’ said I. they have very great historic value.' *“N'o; silence and public opinion perfectly vindicated the attorney gen eral. It was the wiser part not to publish these statements. If they are destroyed, that ends the incident.' "And with reluctance 1 tore the manuscript into bits.” (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards.

Voorhees. the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." entered the federal senate in 1S77 as the successor of Oliver P. Morton, the great war gov ernor of Indiana, he was probably the most widely known Democrat in Indi ana. and certainly the most popular member of his party in that state. He was especially familiar in Wash ington, for he had already served 12 years as member of the lower house of congress. He was one of the con- ! spicuous figures in the senate from i the day he took his seat there until j Was Ordered to “Sign Thar’ Robert J. Wynne’s Little Experience With Official Documents on the Day When He Became Post master General. MaJ. Charles De Lano Hine of Vir ginia. organization expert, a graduate of West Point, an officer in one of the regiments serving in the Spanish war, and later prominently associated with Vice-President Julius Kruttschnitt of the Union Pacific Railroad system, was called to Washington some months ago to work out a plan for the reor ganization of the various departments upon a symmetrical and economic basis. Major Hine was assigned a room in the White House and after a thorough study of the matter he pre pared his report, which has not yet been acted upon. One of the evils in the departments of Washington Is the custom of long standing and far reaching practice which permits chief clerks, or even subordinate clerks, to sign documents or communications purporting to have been read and approved by superior officers, even cabinet members. It was Major Hine's purpose completely to eliminate this method and to per fect an organization which would make it possible, or, in fact, inevitable, that every superior officer should know the contents of any paper re quiring his approval and should sign his own name to it. When Robert J. Wynne of Pennsyl vania was postmaster general, in President Roosevelt’s first administra tion, he had an experience of which he was very forcibly reminded when he heard what Major Hine's intentions were. For many years Mr. Wynne was a newspaper correspondent at Washington. He knew Washington life, political and public, as thorough ly as it is possible for any man to know it He gained a very high repu tation for integrity and for soundness of judgment. These were the qualifi cations which justified his appoint ment as private secretary to Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury in Harrison's administration, and later as postmaster general. "Towards the close of office hours of the day after I qualified for and re ceived my commission as postmaster general.” said Mr. Wynne, .“a .clerk came into my office with a mass of documents about a foot thick. 1 should think, and put them upon the desk before me. I took up the first paper, ran my eye over it, put it to one side and said I would look it over later in the day, or some time the next day. Then I took up the second document and did the same thing with it. "At last it struck me that here was an appalling mass of documents each one of which 1 was expected to exam ine and then sign. I realized that it would take me practically an entire business day—perhaps longer—to do that one thing, and I also realized that there was something wrong with the system that made this necessary. “As I sat pondering the matter over, wondering what I should do about it, the clerk advanced to the desk, took a pen, dipped it into the ink, and then, having unfolded the first document and so arranged it that the last page was before me. he hand ed me the pen, at the same time put ting his finger upon a blank space at the bottom of the document Then he looked at me sternly, as one having j authority, and ejaculated: “ 'Sign thar!’ "Mechanically I signed Thar." and then he unfolded another document went through the same motions, looked at me again with authority and said once more: "•Sign thar!’ “I did so; and in that automatic manner I. the new postmaster general, signed thar' my name to thirty or forty documents of the contents of which I had not the slightest idea. "Later 1 was able to improvise a method by which I had an abstract of the documents I was expected to sign placed before me, so that I could get some idea of what the documents con tained.” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) the last day of his third and last term. Voorhees was a man of massive fig ure, very broad-shouldered, the tallest member of the senate, with a very large head set firmly. In the senate. Voorhees was care ful not to indulge in humor of any hind. He could be sarcastic, but never humorous; he always resented, although not publicly, the statement that his full name was Daniel Webster \ oorhees, whereas his middle name was Woolsey. However, in private conversation with friends, and often with his Republican associates in the senate, he frequently indulged in hu mor that had more or less biting sar casm in it Of such humor was an Incident which occurred in the treasury de partment. There lived in Indianapolis at the time Voorhees was United States district attorney of Indiana, in the Buchanan administration, a lawyer who was thought by many persons to give promise of a very brilliant ca reer. He was a friend of Voorhees. Voorhees used to say of him. however, that he was one of the men whc strike twelve the first time and then run down. When he was completely on his uppers, as the term is, he sought Voorhees, who was a man of very tender heart, saying; “Dan, I wish you would get me a position in Washington. I am flat od my back. I haven't a penny In the world, and no prospects ” “Well," replied the senator, “I will do what 1 can on one condition, and that is that you put yourself into har ness at last. The trouble with you has been that you were never willing to put on the harness. Every man who gets along in the world has to do that I mean, put yourself under discipline. Quit being happy-go-lucky. Put an end to your philosophy of letting the mor row take care of itself.” The friend did not take this advice in bad part, but promised to put on harness, and Senator Voorhees got him a place in the treasury depart ment that carried a salary of $1,400 a year. Some months after the friend went to work Voorhees visited the depart ment upon some business one day. and while wandering through the low er corridor be saw a man drawing a little truck, upon which were loaded canvass bags, evidently containing specie. To aid the employe in this work, a series of straps that went over the neck like a horse's collar 3nd that had traces encircled the shoulders and body of the man. As Voorhees passed by aisd glanced, casu ally at the human beast of burden, he discovered that the man was none other than the friend for whom he had got an appointment In the treas ury department and. Voorhees stopped a moment and. after greeting his friend, said: “Well. I 6ee that you have obeyed the letter of my injunction—you have actually put on the harness. Now, If you will harness your mind equally well, you can get back on your feet.” "I am going to." said the friend. And he did. (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

"How do you mean in a way?” “Why. by providing $ 25,000 worth of extinguishers some one could have made $12,000 in graft, and why this op portunity was overlooked will always remain a great mystery to me." i Value of Good Maxima Good maxims are germs of all good; firmly impressed on the memory, they nourish the will.—Joubcrt. Birds as Pest Destroyers Fanners Convinced That Pheasants Will Prove Valuable as Grass hopper Exterminators. Roland C. Voddard is in Boise, after a trip through the southern part of the state, where he has been placing orders for hundreds of pheasants among the fanners, who have been persuaded that the birds will prove valuable as grasshopper extermina tors. •1 have placed these birds in Wyo ming and Utah,” Mr. Voddard said, “and everywhere I have been most successful. The birds apparently have an unlimited capacity tor grasshop pers. The old-fashioned idea of using Paris green and other poisons to rid any country of the pests is rapidly giving away. The experiment has been Wed successfully in Utah and other western states. If turkeys are al lowed to run in the fields the benefits are great, for the big birds can live for a long time on diet of grasshop pera. The amount of the pests which the pheasant will consume will be nearly twice as much. “The idea of placing pheasants on i farming tracts for the purpose of do ing away with the grasshoppers was started years ago in Kansas, when farmers of that state ran out of paris green and had to find some new scheme of ridding their country of grasshoppers."

A non-resident ordered a box of snakes sent to him from the south for the purpose of cleaning out a vast number of rats from his place. The snakes were given a chance to demonstrate their rat killing ability and the large snake destroyed 15 in a few minutes. The snakes were then taken to two different saloons and in a few minutes cleared them of the crowd—Kennebec Journal.
