Yesterday the Coeur d'Alene and
Spokane clubs met for the third
time this season and the large au-
dience present was treated to one Of
the best exhibitions OF ball playing
that has been on the ground this
season. Much to the surprise Of
everybody the local club won. But
this much can be said In favor Of the
home team and that Is that the reg
ular nine has never been defeated
but once during the season. Both
clubs had out their rest players yes
terday, with the exception Of Seng-
fielder, the cIack centre fielder Of the
home nine, who waIunavoidably alb
sent, Jackson playing his position in
very good shape. The following is

Ifany one Ia nursing the idea that
real estate is on the decline in our
city they are nourishing grand
mistake. There may not be that
feverish demand for town lots APP
parent q gear or 80 ago, yet property
owners have no disposition to Jet go
of lots at any figures below what was
asked at the time of the wildestcraze
for speculation. Real estate agents
are not selling much land at present,
RoE have they for several months,
sill the absence Of a demand does
not weaken the faith Of those hold
ing lots, and the grognd is clung to
with feeling OF security In Its ulti-
mate advance. As an undeniable
proof Of this assertion occasionally n
transfer takes place when prices are
paid that open the eyes Of the public.
Saturday heavy sale was cOnsum-
mated that savored Of old times and
shows that II there is any weaken
ing in property it must be some dis
tauce beyond the center Of the city.

We would insist upon the people
Of this place remembering that the
first annual ball Of the Spokane Falls
FIRE department takes place on Thurs
day evening Of next week, and fur
thermore that it IS the duty Of every
business man to lend encouragement
to the department by purchasing a
ticket for the same. Even If you do
not dance, or even II you object to
the practice, take a ticket and de-
stroy It, IL you do not use it. The
department is part OF the city or
ganization that every one should feel
proud Of, not only on account Of the
willingness Of its members to labor
for the safety OF property, bu' as
reward for the good work already
accomplished. The money thus Sc
cured goes toward fitting up and
making comfortable quarters, and
also to aid the boys ia the service.
The ball will be one OF the largest
and most brilliant in the history Of
Spokane, from which every partici-
pant will secure far more than the
value Of the money invested.

THE NUMBER CRAZE"
A Railroad Brakeman's Mono
mania In the Asylum.

From the Chicago Herald Train Talk"
Two railroad men were talking over
old times. Inquiry was made as to what
had become OF an old freight brakeman
named Jack Taylor.
"Didn't we ever hear about Jack? No?
thought everybody knew what he
come to. Poor old Jack-he'll never
twist another brake or swing another
lamp
"Dead?"
"No, but he might ms well be. You
see, jack get the number craze. lie
got 'em bad, too. and
"Tbe WHAT"
"rhe number craze. You don't know
what that Is? You eastern TailrOaders
don't seem to know much of anything.
Well, Jack got 'em, his being the third
case | ever heard of. Seven or eight
years ago they took hold of Jack, aud
| they kept CROWN worse. In 1879, |
b'lieve II was, he first started out TO find
the number of the year. Long about
the middle of the summer he found it,
Then he was happy. But New Years
| day he started hunting for 1850. lie
| looked all summer and all fall. Finally
cold weather came, aud-would you be-
| leve it?-Juck would sit on The top of
the cars IN the coolest weather looking
| for car numbered 1850. Whenever We
| passed u side-track he'd look nj the cars
like wild man. lie got so crazy over
1t that he mighty near lost his job.
| Christmas Day he found his car, but New
Years Day he started looking for 1881
You see, lie got to believing that II he
didn't find n car numbered the same M
the year before the year was out he
would die before the next Easter. We
couldn't talk 1t out of him. In 1881 he
had good luck, and found the number
about July.
But in 1889 he had no luck at all
Long the last OF the year he hunted day
and night. Instead of going to bed he
would take his lantern and 20 up and
down the tracks in the yard looking al
the numbers on the ears. After Christ
mas he got frantic, and we saved
him only by taking an old cal
and painting the number over TO
him on the sly, then steering
him around that way to look at Ii. Thi
narrow escape frightened him so tina
early in 1883 he was as crazy MS he usu
ally was in November. lie got so h,
was of no use on n train and he got fired
Then he spent all of his time going al
and down the yards. He imagined W
boys were keeping the car he wante,
away from him and so he went over 1
the other roads where they didn't knoN
him. When the New Years bells ran
out Mt the end of 1883 Jack was runnin
up and down the tracks like mania,
lie Is now In the asylum-harmles bu
