BOSTON, Aug. 20.-The Bostons defeated
the New Yorks to-day with great ease. In
fact, the contest was one-sided as to be
robbed of all interest except that taken in the
smuggling of the Bostons. Keefe started to
pitch for New York, but at the end of the
third inning, after the Bostons had made six
hits and four runs off him, he retired and
WEIGH was called in. 1t made no difference.
Boston still kept up the pounding, batting
Welch harder than Keefe and winding up in
the ninth by four singles and triple. Whit
ney was the only New Yorker who guaged
Radbourne, while the batting of Brouthers
and CAMEL was terrific. Hardie Riohard-
sons work in the left field was superb. The

4 Diving State,


There is no hope for Nevada, and
its population must dwindle away
until but office holders are left. So
long as the San Francisco million
aires last and are willing to pay
the expenses the State may con-
tinue, but when they give out, as
they must in time, and no people
are left to be taxed, what will the
office-holders do? They, too, will
have to decamp, and the State will
die of 1nanition. But the consti-
tutional problem will remain.
There still will be 10000 square
miles of rocks and desert over
which the United States Govern
ment has no more authority than
over the State of Illinois. Under
the Constitution Congress cannot
divide State nor add to it without
the consent of the people of that
State. But if the people have fed
what is to be done about it? II
looks as if at no distant day Ne
vada would be in truth and fact 8

FACTS ABOUT SMALLPOX.
Not as Contagious as Other Dis
eases, Nor as Dangerous.

In conversation with a reporter
the other day, a well known ply
sician took occasion to remark on
smallpox. sin the open air." he
said, ''there is very little danger of
catching the disease if you are
separated from the patient by ten
feet of the light of heaven.
I'm such diseases as scarlet
fever and measles" continued the
doctor, ''there is dissolution of
the harder outer part of the cuticle,
which, in the form of fine dust,
permeates the atmosphere, carry
ing the contagion. This is not the
case in smallpox, and small pox
is not as contagious as scarlet fever
or measles. Not only is scarlet
fever contracted more easily than
smallpox, but the scarlet fever
germ is a much longer lived poison
than that of the smallpox germ,
and 1t can be carried in the cloth
ing, | would say, a thousand times
as long. The smallpox germ is
very short-lived on exposure to the
open air, and can not be carri ed in
the clothes to the extent that most
people suppose. This is shown
IN the virus that is used for vac
clnation. The vaccine points are
packed in cotton and gold beetle
skin in a way that makes them per-
fectly air tight, and yet they lose
their power in a few days. So
great is the necessity OF having the
vaccine points fresh that they
should never be more than a day
old when disposed of for use.
"Small-pox is a disease much
more feared than scarlet fever, and
yet it is not as fatal. The death
rate in smallpox eases is not over
I3 or per cent. 1t is larger in
scarlet fever and scarlet fever is
the more prevalent of the two
diseases.

The success of Clark & Potts

ingly illustrates the result always
attendant upon Il spirit Of indorni-
table pluck and energy, such as
these two gentlemen possess. The
combina ion sale jus; closed Was
instrumental in bringing to Mex
leo hundreds of dollars which
would otherwise have never found
ledgment here, But small is the

hotel keepers in comparison with

| ty have been given by the sale.
Every one of the great newspapers
of Kansas City and ST. Louis sent
out to its thousands OF readers each

of wealth and standing have been
