"What could be more acceptable to the husband, brother or gentleman friend than a broad, comfortable Morris Chair T What

ing and prove lasting remembrances and daily reminders of the givers. Certainly such gifts are the most practical of all.

Haks Waddell gays Sleeplnir Vsiler
Crasy Qallt Cracked Him.
Ruhe Wsddell, who has received more ad
vertising than any other ball player since
Mike Kelly and Arlle Latham, Is lf ted with
an acute sense of humor, as any of his ball
playing companions can testify, says an
exchange.
The clever George Edward is a fellow of
many parts, and no one can be found who
would be willing to testify on oath that the
big Rube Is not eccentric The speedy
ptlcher Is also witty In hla eccentrlolt v.
As a gay cut-up the big Philadelphia
twirler has no peer. He stands alone in a
class.
LaBt August, when the Athlctlos were
playing In Washington, during their prao
tloe time, Oeorge fcjward Waddell was en
gaged In carrying on his monkey shines,
much to the delight of the spectators, when
Dr. Mike Powors half laughingly asked
Rube:
"What the dlokens makes you so foolii.i,

"I don't know." replied Waddell, "except

The Pittsburg bsse ball club announces
tho retirement of First Baseman Joe Nea
lon of California from tho National league
frame, as the young San Franclsoo giant
las declined to be considered In any deal
the Pittsburg club might choose to make
and will play ball only Saturdays and
Sundays In San FranolHco. The Pittsburg
team has decided to keep him on the re
serve list, so that should he desire to re
enter professional organized ball at any
tim in the future Pittsburg will have a
good claim on him.
' According to the Pittsburg club, Neslon
was the worst lemon ever plucked In Cali
fornia by a big league club. Two years
ago Manager Clarke and a representative
of Qarry Herrmann raced across the con
tinent to land the ball playing wonder of
Ban Francisco, Cincinnati losing .the race
oy a few hours. The player was barged
by Pittsburg at a high salary and bonus.
During the last season Nealou developed
tralta which did not suit the fittsburg
management and he was taken oft first
base entirely as the end of the season
drew near. On one occasion he was left
at horns while the team went around the
circuit. Nealon was placed on the bargain
counter by Pltburg last August,
Ty Cobb, the real nifty kid when It
comes to the swatting business, has one
ambition besides being a crack base ball
player. He wants to be a good clog dancer.
Ty spends a good deal of his sparo time
In learning new fancy steps, and It Is said
tnai tne ciever aoutnern bail player Is
really a finished artist In the stye of danc
ing that appeals to him.
But of course his base ball associates
have fun at the kid's expense, and al
though they know that he Is really a
clever 'performer In the Jig line, yet he
would be the last person to hear It from
their lips.
Just before the world's championship
series, and while the Detroit club was rest,
ing for those nerve racking games, Ty
Cobb was one morning going through some
fantastic steps, when big Bsm Crawford
hapTBin'd to ceme Into the room.
"What do you think of these foot move
ments, Samt" geyly cried Cobb, as he
went through some airy steps fsr the
edification ef his big teammate.
"You'd be a swell dancer, Ty," said
Sam, In the slow manner he has of peak
ing, "were It not for two things."
'And what eld two things ero they?"
cried Cobb, as ho paused.
"Your feet." retorted Crawford, as he
hastily backed out of the room.

PA WZLIj HAVE! GRASS DIAMOVD
!(o More Dust CInads a. tVfnton Street
Park.
Omaha base hall fans will watch the
game played In Omaha next summer on
smooth green swath, for Pa Kourke has
a large force of men taking advantage of
the pleasant weather to sod the diamond
at Vinton street park, so that by the time
the dickey birds begin to chirp in the
spring this sod should begin to assume
beautiful green tinge and be as smooth as
a floor whan tne base bail season opens.
"When 1 stood In the grandstand one
Sunday last summer," said Pa at the
Smoke Houeo, "and saw the patrons of
the game literally driven from tho south
stand by the dust which was blown from
tho diamond, I determined then and there
to have a grass Infield next summer. Den
ver Is the only other city in our league
which has a grass diamond at present, but
I think others will .come to It. as it Is the
real thing. The fielders have to be quicker
on the clay surface, as the ball travels a
little faster, but on the whole I think th
grass will be far more satisfactory to uJ
concerned. We watered the field before
the game last year, but that did no good
as the sun soon dried ths surface Into a
dust, which blew Into the stunds. I am
going to sod the whole .thing, clear to the
stands, ana will have as pretty a Hold
any- In the country."
as
Pa says he will also extend the grand-
stana aoout- im reel to tne north thl
spring, which will enlarge the stands just
that much and will also cut down the west
bleachers to some extent, although these
will be extended to the north fencs.
The additlen to the grandstand will also
furnish a bplnndld stand for the large foot
ball games which aro being planned for
next mil.
Pa is still negotiating several trades or
Dan players, out has none for enough along
to uiaKO puouc ar. present.

WOMAN WHO KNEW LORD BYRON
at Aa. of Ninety
Ela-at.
It Is believed that the last surviving
person who had a speaking acquaintance
with Lord Byron died a few weeks ago la
Sydney, Australia. She was 98 years old,
the widow of a British army officer and
colontan official, but a native of Greece.
Kathaiina Pleasos was born In Mlaso
loughl In 1SC8. The grest English post was
a frequent visitor at her uncle's house
during his residence In that place In 1823
and 1M24. Kainarlna was practically a
young woman at 14 years old Levatlne
girls mature early and Byron took a fancy
to her. Of course, he filled a large space
In her young Imagination. He was the
national aero of the time, he was a poet,
be was handsome, and as she always said
In telling of her acquaintance with him, he
had a fascination of manner that no ons
could resist.
After Byron's death. In 124. the Plessoa
family became the objects of political per
secution and had to flee from Missoloughl
to Kalsmos, one of the Ionian Inlands then
under British rule. It was there Kstharlna
met Captain Crummer, who had fought all
through the Peninsular campaigns snd had
beta present at Waterloo. Though only 16
years old she became hla brld In 183.
In 1835 his regiment, the Twenty-eighth In
fantry, In which he was now msjor, was
St-ut to Australia and the couple went with
It. Five years later, when It was ordered
to India, Major Crummer resigned and was
made a police magistrate In the colony. He
held the post until 1844 and died In 1SU7.
Ills widow never returned lo Europe,
though she survived him forty years. They
had eight children, of whom two still sur

James J. Hill Sayi They Will Assist in
Development of Waterways;
ADDRESS CAUSES ENTHUSIASM
Con Kress man Barton and Governor
Johnson of Minnesota Also Address"
Conferones i iCsnaos Against . . .
Bonds.
WASHINGTON, D. C Deo. . A feature
yesterday of the tRlvers and Harbors con
gress convention now In session In this city
was the address delivered today by James
J. Hill as president of the Great Northern
Railway company, who was Introduced to
the congress as "a wizard of transporta
tion and one of the greatest railroad build
ers In the world." Mr. Hill created great
enthusiasm among the 1600 delegates by
declaring that the railroads of the country
would support cordially auy proper plan
for the development of the legitimate
waterways of the United States. He said
that the trafflo of the conutry has become
so great and was Increasing so trsmende
pusly that It was beyond the physical
powor of the railroads to handle it. He
made a most Important and significant
statement of the attitude of the railroad
men towards legislation which has been
directed against rail carriers in America
and declared that all the railroads asked
was permission to conduct their business
in a proper way, under fair regulations
and fair laws.
Notable addresses also were delivered to
ths congress by govsruors of states and
by other men prominently identified with
the political and commercial life Of ' the
nation. Among those present today at the
sessions of the convention were aoores of
members of congress, upon whom it Is ths
destr. ef the convention that Its Ideas be
paytioularly Impressed. The convention
will conclude Its work tomorrow by the
adoption of a series of resolutions Incor
porating its Idsa that a comprehensive
national scheme for the improvement or ine
Internal waterways of the country should
be crystallised. Into law.
Governor Johnson Speaks.
Governor John A. Johnson ef Minnesota
delivered one of the most scholarly ad
dresses that yet has been heard. He
pointed out that the trafflo of this coun
try already bad overburdened the railroads
and that the only relief was through the
medium of water transportation. The de
velopment of American waterways would
solve the problem.
Governor Johnson dwelt particularly upon
the development of the transportation fa
cilities of the Great Lakes and quoted sta
tistics showing how that development hsd
been of Incalculable benefit to the great
states of the northwest. No expenditure of
money ever made by the national gov
ernment, he declared, had paid so great
returns as that expended on the develop
ment of the Great Lakes.
"The country must be developed," said
he, "along the lines of the great Internal.
waterways, because the railroads admit
tedly have reached the limits of their sbll
Itles in the transportation of the trafflo
offered, unless there should be a further
expenditure on the railroads of the coun
try of more than 6,00O.0U0.OO0. which Is
manifestly out of the question."
Governor Johnson urged that all projects
for the Improvement of the Internal water
ways should rest on principles as broad as
the nation Itself. . . : '

of Duluth the third largest port In Amer
ica. "It follows," said Mr. Hill, "that
we must prepare to utilise the waterways
of thS ' country as common carriers, and
to this end one ef the projects that we
must see carried to a conclusion Is that
of a channel from St. Louis to New Or
leans of at least a depth of fifteen feet,
and eighteen feet would be twice aa good.
While the traffic of this country is In
creasing at ths rate of 12 per cent an
nually, the ability of the carriers of that
traffic Is Increasing only 1 per cent an
nually. It would be necessary for us to
build immediately 75.000 miles of new
railroads in order to adsquately meet the
trafflo-conditions of tho country."
Mr. Hill said that such a task, Jn present
conditions, would be almost Impossible on
account of the dlffloulty in obtaining
proper terminals, the necessary cash with
which to construct the roads, and the labor
with whh-h to build them. It was evident,
he said, that more points of export were
needed and that these couldt be obtained
only through the utilisation of the water
ways. He believed that the construction
of a ship channel between the lakes and
the gulf would do more toward relieving
tho trafflo' congestion ef the northwest
than any other one thing. Calling atten
tlon to the fact that during The last few
years the increase of railroad mileage in
this country had been 22.7 per cent, while
the increase of trafflo had amounted to
126.4 per cent,. Mr. Hill said the. wonder
was that the entire business of ths coun
try had not been paralyzed, because the
railroads nearly had exhausted their re
sources for publlo service. He pointed out,
too, that freight rates continually were
increasing. This, he believed, was the rea
son for the withdrawal of much capital
from railroad building and he ssld that It
would be necessary, in some wsy, to re
move this lack of confidence before much
could be dona to promote railroad con
struction. "In seeking relief," said Mr. Hill, "we
naturally must turn 'to the waterways of
the country, and I believe they are about
to emerge Into an era of great usefulness.
The overtaxed railroads must be supple
mented by every possible method of water
transportation. Nature has Indicated that
the commerce of the great middle West
should be carried to a large extent by the
Mississippi river, snd this highway consti
tutes the most natural exit out ef our pres
ent transportation dilemma."
Mr. lllll said that it would be necessary
to provide a sufficient channel for the car
rying of vessels of large capacity.
"No craft that floats." said he. "which
carries only 1,000 tons can compete with a

Continuing, Mr. Hill said:
"There will he plenty of business for betli
waterways and railroads. The alleged Jeal
ousy of the railroads for the waterways la
a myth, and Is only a part of the yellow
Ideas that have been fostered m recent
years. You may be assured of the hearty
support of the railroads In the construction
ef the legitimate waterways of the ooun

Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa in a
forceful address declared it to be evident
that the United States must either stop
doing business or must bring to the rail
roads the mighty. help of the waterways
of the land.
"It is not a part ef the schsme of the
American people," said he, "to quit busi
ness, and I conclude that the Aroerloaa
people propose to Improve thstr water
ways from the Atlantic to the I'aclflo and
from the lakes to the gulf."
Referring to Mr, Hill's statement that
capital was hesitating to go Into ths busi
ness of railroad construction. Covet nor
Cummins said that people with money
were hesitating to put their capital Into
the railroads because the railroads wars
over capitalised.
"People with money," said hs, "will In
the future insist that they shall receive
value real property for their money
and not merely works of art from print
