The cir cuit 5s very compact, and one of the jumps are very small and the league is so compact that Tim Hurst says that all you have to do in traveling around this league is 1o ask the conductor for a transfer. The two nev towns made it a Tri-State league in fact as well as name. Indications already point to the Tri-State being somewhat of a farming ground for the major leagues. Pittsburg looks upon Johnstown as a favorable place, while Chicago may also use both Johnstown and Altoona.

Connie Mack will have a number of youngsters that can be sent out and "the eastern cities of the new league are likely to be benefited thereby. the retention of all the old stare of the league there is no reason why Altoona should not see just as fast ball next year as they ed last year. While the action of the Nationaj commission is generally approved, there are not a few who believe the big leaguers may do something in the future that may be detrimental to the Tri-Statc. Of course all must wait, nd should anything like that occur then the league would have something to say. There is no doubt but that it would be something emphatic.

Lancaster Gets Deal. Johnny Deal, after a partial season in the big league with Cincinnati, will this season hike back to a minor league. A Cincinnati dispatch says: Another Red-leg has parted company with the Cincinnati base ball aggregation. Johnny Deal has hiked back to the minors, Lancaster, the place from which hp was secured, gets the clever first baseman. The sale of Deal to Lancaster, of the Tri-State league, took place a few days ago and to-day it was here that the transaction had been ratified.

work in Cincinnati was neculiar: lor the hrst two weeks ne annpared to be a world-beater. His I fielding is not only accurate, but is spectacular. His batting, though, is what cost him his job in Cincinnati. At first he connected with the ball easily, but. later fell down to about the .2.10 average.

Sebring as a Jumper, "Jimmy" Sebring, the greatest hurdler base ball has ever known, says a Rutland dispatch, contemplates another jump. Sebring has been offered the management of the Rutland (Vt.) team, of the Northern Independent league, at figures that compare favorably with the salary he receives for managing the Williamsport club or the Tri-State league. Sebring says that unless Williamsport increases his salary he will take a chance with Rutland.

A $2,000,000 dividend to all policyholders has been declared by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company for the year 1907. Thi3 company which has always been noted for the liberal policy on which it managed, has already distributed in dividends to its. policy-holders about $10,000,000 in' the last eight years, and the new dividend of $2,000,000 will bring its voluntary disbursements to policy holders up to the immense sum of $12,000,000.

On all Industrial Whole Life Policies dated prior to January 1, 1903, a dividend equivalent to four weeks' premiums, or about 8 per cent of the premiums for the year, has been declared. This dividend will amount to $1,000,000 and in the distribution of profits will be included all holder of life policies' in those companies which have been consolidated with the Metropolitan. On all Industrial Whole Life Policies dated prior to January 1, a dividend equal to four week's premiums, or about 8 per cent of the premiums for the year, has been declared. This dividend will amount to and in the distribution of profits will be included all holders of life policies in those companies which have been consolidated with the Metropolitan. A further mortuary dividend of an other million has been declared in the Industrial department.

This applies to all death claims incurred during the year ending December 31, 1907, where the policy has been in force over five years. In the case of death claims, the dividend has been apportioned according to the age of the policy. If the policy has been in force five years, the beneficiary will be entitled to a dividend of 5 per cent, where it has been in force ten years the dividend is 10 per cent, and so on up to twenty-five when the dividend will equal 23 per cent of the claim. Other benefits which the officers ot the company have brought about for the policy holders are the increase in value of all Industrial policies six months from their date, and tlje liberty which is given to all policy hold ers over NO years ot age wno nave paid premiums for fifteen years or more to receive the face value of the policy in cash or a full paid-up policy. In financial circles this action of the MetroK)Iitan is looked upon as marking a new era in life insurance history, and the voluntary conversion by the company of whole life policies' into endowments or fully paid-up insurance is said to be the most liberal concession ever made by any industrial insurance company.

OTHER PEOPLE'S WAYS. Moor and Morocco are words un- known to the people of that troubled I land. These people know themselves as -Arabs and descendants of thonc valiant upholders of the prophet's green standard who swept like a flood across North Africa at the time of the hogira. The Morocco of! the present day they found possessed i by a sturdy race who claimed descent from the people who were cast, out of Canaan by Joshua, the son of Mm. Theu- country, so far as its plains were concerned, was taken from them by the Arabs, and their fighting strength was made to serve the Arab cause in the conquest of Spain.

Hollow Glass Bricks. ljnui the Building Managem-Mil.

The" demand for hollow bricks and building Idocks for house construction has induced glass manufacturers to put hollow glass bricks on the market, and they promise to be used extensively for novel and artistic effects. The first glass 'bricks, being solid, proved a failure on account of their cost, but the hollow glass bricks cap be made at much less expense. They, are tighter and stronger than clay bricks and are such excellent nonconductors that walls built of them are proof dampness, heat, and cold. The bricks arc sealed hermetically when hot and are placed in walls with a colorless mortar made of special glass. The bonding strength of the glass niprtar is almost as great as the bricks themselves.

Frank' Niehol, of White township, Indiana county, was badly injured recently by dicing kicked in the face, by a colt in the barn. Lockard was trying Jo catch the colt to fie in a stall, when the animal suddenly wheeled and kicked him in the face. The blow rendered him unconscious. William J. Smith, the hermit of Washington township, Clearfield county, who lives in a little hut by himself in the woods, has had the misfortune to lose both his house and barn, together with all their contents, excepting hoi'sc, by fire.

The fire occurred on Tuesday The fire originated from an overheated stove and because there was no assistance handy both house and barn were consumed. Williamsport News: Dickinson seminary is in tlie throes of an old-fashioned grip epidemic, there being twenty students affected by the malady at the present lime.

The Toronto Eastern league club has bought from Cincinati National league club the release of Joe Kelley, who will manage the Toronto Eastern league club the coming searson, replacing Ed Barrows, resigned.

Wilmington 'had lines out to secure Kelley to manage the "Blue Hens" this coming season. Tenny Makes Good Trades. Says the New York Sun: "Fred Tenny has made some clever deals since he has been manager of the Boston Nationals. Last year he got Lindamann, Brain and Howard in exchange for Pitcher Willis, landing a pitcher and two infMders fT one boxman. He also got Dorner, a pitch er, and Bridwell, an infielder, in change for Delc'nanty.

Then he traded his catcher, Tat Moran, for a pitcher and catcher, Pfeffcr and 0Ncill. Now, in exchange for Ab- baticchio, who was of no practical service to him, Tenny gets what he needed badly, a good secon baseman in Ritchey, also a left-Landed pitcher in Base Ball Flashes. Victor Willis, the pitcher, is sjid to be tampering with the now Atlantic league in order to get a salary boost. The spring training flip of the New York Giants will cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. but McGraw hopes that he will make the sum in exhibition games.

Washington base fans have read so much of the Tri-State league that some of them arc anxious to see Hayden and Clay, of the York team, wearing Senatorial uniforms. First Baseman Jordon. of 1 lie Brooklyn team, has not yet signed a contract for next season, i-lo only wants $3,000 for the season and Eb-betts says he won't get it. President Dovey, of the Boston Nationals, is an ardent of clean base ball, so much so that he will purchase four sets of uniforms for the. bovs so that they will have time to have them laundered.

The Washington Americans have not yet given up hope of inducing "Doc' Hillebrand to become a "Senator" for the coming season. The Giants refuse to waive claim for Hillebrand and now he will play in Washington or no place. John J. McGraw will have twenty-four players on the team. Lucky for some one that the New York manager dreads 'twenty-three." "WliJ Will" Donovan should be able to show the Harvard pitchers a few tricks of the slabmen, while Willie Keller is demonstrating the art of "hittin' 'cm where they New Orleans is anxious to secure "Pop" Foster, who is in dispute between Lancaster and Harrishurg.

"Where's your his neighbors asked Ed Garrison at Millville, X. J. "Oh, gave her for a Christmas present to young Kelley," Garrison answered indifferently.

"You have all seen Kelley around here. I began to think she liked Kelley better than she did me, although we have lived together eighteen years and never had a quarrel. I asked her, and she said she thought a great deal of Kelley. So I gave her to him for And I gave them all our household goods, too-hung them all on the same tree, as you might say for after eighteen years I wanted to make her comfortable." Some neighbors wrere about to condole with Garrison when he interrupted languidly: "Oh, it's all right. I got letter from her today, saying that she has found out she thinks a great deal more of me than she thought she thought of young Kelley.

She found that out in three days, she wrote which isn't long compared wilh eighteen years. So I wrote lier she could come back, but that young Kelley must bring back the furnishings, too, and tack down the carpets and hang the pictures and put. up the stovepipe, for I'm blessed if I'm going to do all that again. ''I don't want you to, think I'm an 'Indian Garrison concluded, half apologetically. "I'm taking her back because she wants to come back.

A policeman pursued it into the cellar and up the back stairs, where in its wild scramble it smashed crates of crockery and overturned chests of tea.

It was da-posited in the back seat, and the chauffeur whizzed the strange party deep Into the woods, where the frightened animal was liberated. Happlneas and Hnngrr.
