An important baseball conference was held here atl the SL Nicholas hotel yesterday, at whica President Pulliam of the National league and President August Herrman of the Reds were present. Speaking on baseball maters in general, Mr. Pulliam said: "To my mind, the season of 1904 will be the most prosperous in the history of baseball. The national game has been placed on a business basis, without losing any of the charm as a sport. Most of the National league club owners have strengthened their clubs and the race for the flag in 1904 should be a spirited one.

The Reds will "doubtless be strengthened in base running and team work and will doubtless be more formidable than at any time since the present "owners purchased tihe franchise. The New York team has been greatly strengthened by the acquisition of Bablen, who is a finished infielder, and with that strong corps of pitch should be troublesome all season. Mr. Brush's club has enjoyed a season of uninterrupted prosperity and I expect to larger crowds at the Polo grounds next year than ever before. Of course, the club that beats Pittsburg will win the pennant.

Dreyfuss will have bis lines out for some promising men and will have a few surprises before the season begins."

By a score of 12 to 6, the Sherman Indians were defeated by Carlisle yesterday in the hardest fought game of football ever played' in southern California, Altogether the eastern Indians went through the Sherman line for a touchdown in exactly three minutes after the first kickoff, the remainder of the game was hotly contested. Captain Johnson, and Fullback Williams- of the Carlisle team, were out of the "game early through injuries. The fast playing of Captain Nafus and defense work of Pierce for the Sherman, were the distinguishing features. ply for the reason' that the woman feels that' the marriage was tSf her own. seeing and that she is in a sense responsible for It was of her own making and she others s'aould make it comsa Oiut Sight.

Champion Corbctt is around tovn showing no sign on his face that he had fought the hardest battle of his ring career Tuesday night. Despite Ilanlon's youth ami lack of experience, he was more dangerous to Corbett than 'Terry Mc-Govern because he had a harder punch and could take more punishment. In the seventh round, when Hanlon landed a clean, blow on the chin and the champion went, down cm the floor, the San Francisco boy dreamed tihings were conning his way, but the next round undeceived him. Corbett's persistent left jabs on the face and hi3 savage uppercuts weakened Hanlon as well as several well-placed body Corbett slept until 10 o'clock after fight, and he might have stuck to his pillow longer but for the. fact that messages began to arrive with, from aill parts of the country.

It seemed that every person he knew sent him greetings, wliich certainly put him in fine spirits. There was not a scratch, on his face and only a few marks on his body, which will fade away in. a few days. He said there were no sore spots about Mm and he felt fine. "Well, how did you like the fight?" was his salutation.

"Was it a good one; isn't that fellow Hanlon a dead game li title chap? To my mind he is the beat man I have met." "In what round did HaiTlon punish you most?" Corbett was asked. "Really, I can't tell you, for I lost all track of the rounds," was his reply. "I did not know in what round the fight ended until I got back to my dressing; room. I thought it was in the twelfth when I left the ring, but my seconds told me Gramey stopped it in the sixteenth. I don't know what round Hanlon put me down in, do you? Yea, it was a clean knockdown.

No fall down or slipping, but I was not hurt The blow did not daze me, and, if you noticed, I was right up and after him. I guess he handed me as much punishment in. that found as any other." "What are your plans now?" "I can't say. I am going to stay here for a while. I am going to see California.

Up to now I have been too busy training to move around much. This climate suits me all right." "How. about fighting Jimmy Britt?" "Well, Jimmy has my terms. I told him I would fight him-at 129 pounds at 6 o'clock, and if he wants to meet me at that weight I will sign with him at any time. But I won't do anything better for him.

I am told he wants to fight at 130 at 6 o'clock, but that is out of the question with me." Nearly all of Corbett's friends won well on him, but they had to bet big money to win modest fortunes. At the ring side sports were trying to get their money on at $100 to $55, and there were few takers. Hanlon takes his defeat philosophically, an-d says that Corbett has proved to be his superior, but that there are a good many men in his class he can whip. It is not thought likely here that Britt will come down to the weight demanded by Corbett. It would weaken Britt to get to 130 at 6 o'clock, and to make 129 pounds would be foolish for him to attempt.

Britt says Corbett fought at the light weight limit, as he certainly weighed 3 33 when ho entered the ring. Britt says he is willing to make any reasonable arrangement with Corbett, but the battle must be for the light weight Juniors. The fight was- one of the fiercest ever seen in California, and proved beyond all doubt that Young Corbett is the kingpin among the so-called feather weights. Hanlon knocked the champion down once in the seventh round and had quite a shade in the twelfth. At no time, though, was Corbett ever in serious trouble, and from the thirteenth until the middle of the sixteenth, when Referee Graney mercifully stopped the battle, he had Hanlon almost completely at his mercy.

"On the contrary, Miss Brown, it is my heart which shall be cast at your feet- and my" hand." ThU3 will the leap year propose, ays the Chicago And thus has she dreamed ahead off tJhe year to come, thinking of the day when she may offer her heart and hand to the man of her choice and feel that it is no shame to do so. She will trust to the fate which hovers over all good loving maids for a favorable answer, and so she will become a leap year maid. There is an old verse which runs: Come, y.e lassies, "rather round.

Mix a bowl of cheer Fill tlie cup and lift it up. Toast the maid's Leap Yeare! There are all kinds of girls, sum-, roer girls and winter girls, but the newest girl of all is the leap year girl. She came in with the bells of the new year and for twelve months she is the most privileged of all characters. The leap year girl has prerogatives; she has privileges and she has permissions. She can do things which other girls cannot do and she can acts which, would be impossible for her during any other year except leap year.

Just what leap year Is few people know. That it means the gaining of a day in the calendar, the -skipping ahead of twenty-four hours and the adjustment of the years, nearly everybody has some dim notion. But its real import Is, grasped by few except the scientists; and of these none but the astronomer himself, could tell you exactly why-it -7 There is a vague that leap year is caused by some flaw in the making out of our time calendars, and that there is a loss, in some manner, of six hours every year. Our time does not quite tally with the sun's time. At the end of four years this amounts to twenty-four hours, or one whole day! To make this up and to gain a day it is necessary to add a day to the year.

Consequently leap year has 366 days instead of 365. Leap year enables the astronomers to square things with the sun and to keep the old earth moving along just as it sihould move. If it were not for leap year there would be too much time lost withouta chance of regaining it. This-error is corrected by the system of appointing every fourth year leap year. But to the homely mind leap year means nothing more nor less than an additional day, a setting to rights of time, a mysterious adjustment of things, which comes once in four years.

But connected with leap year there is a bit of sentiment, just as there is iw other anniversaries. And to the girl of the period, the girl who understands leap year, it has a significance which belongs to no other year. Once upon a time, long years ago, when leap year first came in, there was a society of people which called itself by a name which would mean the leap year society. They were merrymakers and jesters and they amused the court. Now, these merrymakers decided that leap year, because it had one more day than any other, should be made remarkable in some way.

And one of them hit upon the idea of making the extra day a day on which the young women of the society-or clique could propose to the men. The proposition was laughingly accepted, and one of the young women present, a great beauty at the court, jestingly proposed to one of the courtiers. The knight accepted her hand with a low bow and the wedding was celebrated that very night. The significance of leap year in this respect has been preserved, and there are communities in which the young women wait for coming cf this year in order that they may speak out to the men of their choice. The women propose and are accepted.

Nor are. such marriages unhappy. History shows that wien the man. ac: cepts, as he usually does, the wedding takes place and the couple live happly ever afterward. The reason for this i3 that the woman, having won the man of her choice, loves him well and is- contented ever after to abide by her own Tfciexe have been instacces in history where women have proposed to men and have happily married them.

And was there not that quaker maiden of Longfellow's who proposed and was Elizabeth Haddon did not wait for leap year, but spoke her mind, and her lover, after thinking it over for a season, came back to tell her that he would accept the offer of her haaid. The house and the green field still lie there at Haddonfield, mute testimony to the fact that" a couple lived happily and died leaving a great deal of worth. As a rule the leap year girl is a happy one, so experience proves, sim- Delivered Anywhere in the city for 10c Two or More Packages 7jc Each.

Fresno, Jan. 2. Leaders of organized lahor in California are already gathering, in Fresno for the annual convention of the State Federation of Labor to be held here during the coming week. It will be the fourth annual convention of the federation and all indications point to a larger and more representative attendance than at the three previous meetings. San Francisco will send a large delegation and Oakland and other leading cities of the state will also be well representied.

Legislative matters affecting the interests of the workingmen will come in for much attention and a variety of other subjects of vital importance to organized labor will come up for discussion and action. Reports prepared by the sec retaryand other officers for presentation to the convention show that the federation is steadily gaining in membership and Influence. To make the perfect cup of Turkish coffee is, like many other things, very easy when the maker knows how to do it, hut unless' the art has been learned in Turkey it is difficult, says a writer in the London Mail. No one can make a perfect cup of coffee unless he has been to Turkey. I myself learned the art in that country many years ago.

That) it is art nobody can deny. There is as much difference, bewteen the ordinary cup of coffee and the exquisite and alluring beverage with all its subtle aroma as made by the artist as there ia between horseflesh and tae best English beef. JHy own method is simple. I have many little pots of various sizes. If I want to make two cups only I use the smaller one, and if three cups a larger one.

When the water has boiled I- fill the little pot almost to the top with water, then I put in three lumps of sugar and put the pot on the fire to boil. When it Is hot I put in two teaspoonfuls of coffee ground very fine, and then I stir it around until it is thoroughly mixed with the water. Thus, you see, I actually reverse the usual process, as I place the sugar in the water first and the coffee last. "Ha, ha!" you say, when you smell it; "it is fine; it is good." The next step is to place the pot on the fire again and watich it very carefully until the coffee bubbles up to a froth, and before this froth escapes over the' side you take the pot from the fire and lap the bottom gently on' the stove till the froth goes down. Once again the coffee is allowed to bubble over the fire, and the process of tapping the pot on the stove is repeated three times.

When the froth rises to the surface for the fourth time tihe pot should be taken from the fire and the coffee should be poured first into one cup and then into another, so that each cup contains a portion of the froth on the top. Then you smite to yourself and say, "Ah, this is perfect coffee, indeed." The Englishman, In my opinion, cannot make coffee at all. He tries hard, but never succeeds in making a perfect cup of Turkish or French coffee. The Frenchman, the" other hand, also tries hard to make a perfect cup of Turkish coffee, but- he meets with little more success than the Englishman. He can make French coffee, but I do not like it.

It it so thin, so nasty. It is only the Twkisi coffee that is supreme. Nothing else Is like it at leasts, in my opinion. One thing must never be forgotten. The coffee must be freshly roasted and ground.

It must not be roasted too black; a dark brown is the ideal color, then the flavor is divine. This is what is, in my opinion, the best method. There are many others, all of which I have practiced in Turkey, and, of course, there are many occasions when the way I have described has to be varied. For instance, although most people who really know how to appreciate Turkish coffee as it should be made will realize that the sweetness of it is part of tie triumph, and helps to bring out all of the flavor of the coffee, yet a few do not like sugar at all, and some like to taste the grounds. Backed by Carnegie, Pumpelly Will Seek Buried Cities.

Boston, Jan. 2. The expedition headed by Mr. Pumpelly, the archaeologist, and backed" by Andrew Carnegie, starts from Boston today to search, among the buried cities in western Afghanistan and the Crimea. The expedition is one which has long been under consideration.

Uast year Mr. Pumpelly went to Russia with Prof. Davis of Harvard, for the purpose of looking over the ground and to obtain permission from the Russian government to conduct tlfre desired investigations in her territory. Mr. Pumpelly started this year in advance of the expedition to complete the relations with the Russian diplomats.

The expedition "starting today will meet Mr. Pumpelly in Cairo, Egyptu There the members expect to complete the acquirement of the data needful for their work, and thence will proceed to the vicinity where they will begin excavations. This section has never before been tShus searched by scientists, and the work of the party is awaited with widespread interest on thi3 account.
