ASADENA, CAL.,, Feb, 28§,
A power higher than that »f
any civil or religious body
blocked the pian of Manager
Mitcheil to wet the baseball craf
at work yesteraay It was a monst
unusua! power, too Rain bulted
in early in the day, and the ce
lestiaal sprinkling curt was on the
job until neon However, i 1 was
the well-known dry rain of this
region It wouldn't wet any
thing o the experts sald They
play golf and polo during thess
dry downpours, and think nothing
of 1t On els reminded of the dry
40 below zero in Alaska one does
not feel, and the dry 140 above in
Death Valley, which is a mere cli

Cubse are to rehearse, ix not im

P‘uul» is rich and abundant, and
there I 8 nothing to prevent an
athiete from prying himself out
of baseball with his Kknife and
fork. All hands are here ready for
the first practice in the morning,
if the climate Is suitable. Tom
Seaton got in at 1 o'clock tnis
morning, and signed his contract
soon after breakfast Tom dis
plaved intelligence of a high or
der While speaking of foud, we
forgot to mention an unwritten
law which says the wrap must be
covered with one hand while pick
ing the teeth with the other,

Ru\\ DY ELLIOTT pulled the
first boner. On learning he
couldn’'t cash a trunk check,
Howdy threw his away, and had
to identify the keyhole and other
items before collecting his bag
gage at the depot.
Pete Standridge is glad to get
back on big time. They commit
214 games per season in this
leaguc, and Pete feared the bosses
might branch out and put on a
night shift. The arrival of Reu
ther and Dawson gives Mitchell a ‘
siring of fifteen pitchers, with but
three catchers in Blliott, Dilhoe
fer and Benton available at pres
ent. The Los Angeles scribes
mentioned this item, and added
that Mitch could use a few future
greats in the backstop line. He
expects at least two volunteers
for each pitcher, working In re
layvs, to tide over the difficulty.

M R. WRIGLEY, Mr. Linnard
ané Mr. Hoak, of the re
ception committee, are leaving no
wheel unturned to entertain the
scribes. All a guy need do Is
crook a finger, flash an auto
graphed frank and a gas buggy
takes him wherever fancy or
thirst may dictate. Charley Wil
liams, pilot fish for the Cubs, has
the party happily stabled at the
Siamese twin hostelry. The con
crete cartilage is fitted with a
carpet and upholstered bore
through which inmates ebb and
flow at will. That de luxe busi
ness did not cease with the re
lease of the Santa Fe special.

By BOERSIANER,
CHICAGO, Feb, 28.-—More sure than
on Monday that the torpedoing of the
| Laconia was the overt act, profession
als pressed heavily on the market at
i the opening yesterday But at the end
of the first hour the losses Incurred at
the start were recovered.
These were the only falrly viable in
ldents of the wsession. During four
hours the market dragged desultorily,
the recurrent losses in individual issues
| exerting a slightly abrasive effect on
the list as a whole
{ The dullness with succeeding hours
hecame palpable, There was not enough
| business in the ordinarily active umcfu
1o suggest sound comments to the
| Youngest and most enthusiastic of mar
| ket commentators, To older critics the
latest market-~following upon the rela
tive buoyancy of the previous day-—once
again proved the wisdom of not accept
ing, these days. one strong session as
indieative of the character of the en
suing sessions, Until financial leaders
and the ‘{-uhlir know just what will be
done irr Waghington the market will re
! main with in-and-out traders
‘- . -
| The moratorium scheme sanctioned by
| the bondholders of the Mexican Rallway
| is on practically the same lines as the
| previous one, the only difference being
y that deferred interest warrants on the
| second debentures will bear 6 per cent
| Interest instead of 43§ per cent as here
| tofore.
i In one material particular only has the
| position of the company improved in re
| cent months—it has finally regained pos
| session of the rallway. Its orennon.
| however, is still precarious. Moreover,
| the future of exchange continues very
{ uncertain. g There are two currencies in
{,\h»xivn—A one paper, which is practically
worthless, and the other gold and silver.
i A return to gold and silver currency for
{ all purposes is most desirable, but it is
{ very doubtful whether there is sufficient
in the country for ordinary commercial
l transactions.
| The property suffered badly wirle op
‘orated by the Mexican Government,
. The commissaries, of which some sl,-
| (00,000 worth were in hand when the
Government took charge, are almost en
| tirely depleted.
Maintenance Is two years in arrears
land a large prorortlnn of the rolling
! stock has been destroyed, damaged or
'lost. To remedy all these things mon
ev is required and the needs must be
the first call upon the cash when it
|hovonu—n available. The extenslion of
the moratorfum for a further period of
two and a half years was not excessive,
| in view of the road’'s condition.

New Orleans—The market orenod
down on the decline at Liverpool, but
sellers were scarce. Traders realize
that the decline in Liverpool is only on
straddle llquidations, whic hmeans more
bu(m( on our side. Further bullish de
ve :rmenu likely at New Yoork on the
small stock there which Liverpool is
trying to get.

New Orleans—Markets have becomv‘
g 0 thoroughly liquidated and oversold
on politics since bureau day that politi
cal news Ras no more effect. Spot hold
ers have not given in as was expected
by tho bears and now it is a question of
general covering which will carry prices
to a higher level where they belong on!
‘the strength of supply and needs. Mills
‘have stayed out of the market so long
that they must buy soon and spot hold
ers will fast see things come their way.

Liverpool failed to meet the full ad—‘
yance due and based on 1230 p. m.
prices, the New York market was due
to open 15 points lower on March and
3 to 6 points lower on old crops and 6
'points higher on new options. <
New York wires: ‘“According to floor
gossip late Tuesday, a well-known New
‘Street operator realized on 30,000 bales
of long May contracts yesterday after
noon on the advance.”
‘ New Orleans—The sudden drop in
Liverpool not understood. Either some
thing unfavorable hlp‘)ened in polities
or there is large straddle nellln%anmn
‘Tuesday's purchases at New York, or
{ntended buying on our side this morn-‘
ing. New York gossip says advance
Tuesday was stimulated by reports of
continued demand for spots out of our
stock and rumors of further shipments
pending. —Kofler.
" The Times-Plcayune says: "“The ac
tion of the market Tuesday in the face
of the most serlous political develop
ments since the diplomatic break with
Germany and after the occurrence of
the overt act which everybody under
stood would mean war, gave rise to the
‘hope that even should a state of war
ensue the decline which traders gener-‘
ally apprehended would not occur. Tues
day's advance was based on the actual‘
strength of spots and the sharp jump in |
olg erop Eoslllonn indicated that futures
were seeking a more reasonable parlty‘
‘with the actual.
. ““The further increase in the premlum!
of March contracts over later months
‘emphulzn the rather uncomfortable po. l
sition of shorts in that month. There is
not only a good demand from shlpgers}
for cotton to be taken from the New
York stock, but New England mills are‘
also reported to be in the market there
for nurplleu. which, owing to the trans
portation difficulties can not be readlly
secured from the South. 8o far the ten
ders on March contracts have been
ridiculously small, and the efforts of
shorts to cover have materially ad
vanced prices. May shorts have also
apparently become alarmed so that
month also advanced. ILiverpool was a
free buyer in the Northern market dur
ing the morning, presumably to undo
straddles at the present record differ
ence of 520 fl)ims between May in New
York and ay-June in the English
market."”

Simple Laxative
Household Necessity
This
A
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Should Have a Place in
Every Home.
Constipation, or inaction of the
bowels, a condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less fre
quency, is the direct cause of much
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stom
ach, foul gases and poisons are gener
ated, and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to at
tack.
Various remedies to relieve consti
pation are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the com -
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores un
der the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin.
The Hon, John D. Keister, of Bran
dywine, W. Va., who has represented
bis district in the State Legislature
for six yeara, writes that he uses Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it a
splendid laxative, easy to take and
mild, yet positive in its action, and
that it snould be in every household
for use when needed,
Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States, and costs only 50 cents a bot
tle. It contains no opiate or narcotic
drug, does not gripe, and is recom
mended as a family laxative, mild
