It Is said that Frank Chance has been offered 125,000 to sign a two year contract' to play, with the ball club of i-ftockton. Pal. The money, says the report, is to be deposited In the hank to his credit the day he signs up. Surely, those follows are great advertisers. Hut even if the report were true, Chance would be foolish to accept, for he would be barred from or pauhted ball and at the end of two ywiriPmlght be out at Stockton. Tho sum said to have been offered him would then be small, indeed, for hli time in the National League Is limit ed only by his health ifnti desire to remain. He would urWy muke more than $25.(100 by remaining true to himself and his friends. liraxillc Heard From. Pitthtir Braxille has at lost been heard from.

I am confident you will put In a win ning team and that you will havo a r.lce lot of fellows." lirazille finished the season with Sew Orleans, win ning two out of three pitched. Drumm Demands More Salary. Joe Drumm has Joined the ranks of the 1909 holdouts. Joe Is very modest in his demands. He wants only a $50 monthly raise. Of course, he Is not likely to get what he asked for, although he is in line for a small raise. Mr. Drumm says if he does not get what he asked for he will not report to Charlotte, but will go to school In New York, where he has an offer to play for his schooling. It remains to be seen whether he likes Charlotte or the schooling the best. - Golf Tournament closes. Pinehurst, Jan. 13.

PROHIBJTIOX BILL PASSES. After Hard and Bitter Fight the Tennessee House Passes the Stale' Wide Prohibition Bill by a Vote of 02 to 38 If Governor Patterson In terfere the Measure Will Be Pass ed Over His Veto. Nashville. Tenn., Jan. IS. The bill to prohibit the sale of Intoxicating liquor in Tennessee passed the lower house of the General Assembly this evening at :15 o'clock. The vote was 62 to 38. Fifty votes is a ma jority. Twenty-two Republicans voted for and one , against the measure. The measure passed is the one favorably acted upon yesterday by the Senate and now goes to Governor Patterson. He Is expected to veto It, but under the constitution his veto only operates as . suggestion, not as a stay, and a bare majority may pass the bill over the Executive's unfavor able action. The .Governor Is allow ed to hold a bill Ave days It at tha expiration of this time it has not been returned to the Assembly It becomes a law without his signature. The bill provides that prohibition shall become effective July 1st, 1S09. The battle attending ths passage of the prohibition bill was probably the 'fiercest ever known in the Tennessee House of Representatives. For al most seven hours It was waged, the local option, or administration, forces contesting every Inch of the ground. Amendment after amendment was presented, and promptly voted down by about the same majority as that given the bill on final passage. A great outpour of oratory came from both sides. - Throughout the discussion the gal leries were packed and several times the Speaker, at the request of local optlonlsts. asked the sergeant-at-arms to exclude visitors from tho floor of the House. When the Una! vote was announced the cheers from the gal leries were deafening, the demonstra tion on the Moor and in the galleries lasting several minutes. To-night the State-wlders are Jubi lantly asserting that the bill will be passed over the Governor's veto by about the same vote originally re ceived In each house. C. F. KING SENTENCED.

Mrs. King and her two sons sat Inside the rail close to the prisoner as sentence was pronounced. Kins was immediately taken to the Charles street Jail and then to the State prison. . The last move of, Mr. King's at torney to secure a delay took the form of a motion for a stay of exe cution, which sought to hsvc the im posing of sentence delayed until Sat urday. Judge Schofleld declined to grant the request, and Imposed the sentence. King made an assignment on Feb ruary 21st. 1908. His liabilities were placed at $297, 81 and his assets at $ 13,658.

There Is some subtle principle In Its construc tion which grips the spectator like a vise, and struggle as, he will, he cannot escape from Its subtle spell. It Is not so much the story that the clever Hungarian playwright has evolved; It Is the way he has told it, with its biting sarcasms and Its stinging truths which rivets the be holder to his seat while he squirms and wriggles under the lashing of a cynic who has chosen symbolism as the vehicle of his expression. The devil appears In the guise of a gentle man of the day. He Is a smiling, good natured chap, who makes his mission rlear from his flrst appear ance. He makes evil his object In life and the damnation of souls his destiny. THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE." "Hey diddle diddle, 'the Cat and the Fid dle The cow Jumped over the moon.
