Good Ball at washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. o., June 1.-Two games were played here to-day, one right after the other. Washington beat Philadelphia in the first through good clean hitting and sharp fielding. The Senators put up sharp, live ly game and played for all they were worth from the start to the finish, in striking contrast with some past exhibitions. The presence of Arthur Irwin seems to have in fused confidence in the team and the ex- Philadelphian has already shown his value as a coacher. For the home team Hoy, Wise, Meyers and Morrill, did the best work and for the Philadelphias Fogarty carried off the honors both in the field and at the bat. The score:

 WASHINGTON, D. O., Jnne 11.-After short intermission the second game was started, each team changing it's battery. The visitors turned the tables on the Sena- tors chiefly on account of the very bad field ing of Myers and the cratic work of Ebright. Paddock did far more effective pitching than Casey, whose delivery was wild, but the lat ter managed to keep the hits well scattered and his field support was nearly perfect, won his game. The score:

A NEW RAILROAD.
The Long-Talked Of Acequia Cutoff
at Last to be Built.

S. L. Smith, S. N. Wood, Z. o.
Wolcott, R. E. Briggs and A. S. Hughes
have filed articles of Incorporation of the
Colorado Short Line Company with the
State Secretary. They have capital of
s.. .0O0. 900, divided into 10000 shares. D.
H. Moffat, w. S. Cheeseman, S. N. Wood,
E. o. Wolcott and r. Z. Briggs will be the
board Of directors.
The line of the proposed road is from
point on the Rio Grande road near tho
Arapahoe County line between Lutleton
and Acequia; thence in south-westcrnly
direction up the valley of the Platte river
to Lidderdall on the line of the Colorado
Midland road in Park County; thence west
and south-westernly to a point on the Rio
Grande in Chaffee County ut or near the
town of Buena Vista; thence west to
Grand Junction in Mesa County; thence
westerly to Salt Lake City, Utah; thence
west through Utah and Nevada to Elko,
on the Central Pacific road. The princi-
pal Office of the company will be in Den
yer.
The contracts will be let as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be completed
and work will be begun at once. d. II.
Mofrat, president of the Rio Grande Road,
and one Of the heaviest stockholders in the
new line, is now in New York arranging
these matters. Right of way for a goodiy
portion OF the road has already been Sc
cured. The line will reach some of the
richest and most extensive coal fields in tho
State, as well rs vast Territory of agri-
cultural and grazing lands.
The extension through Utah and Nevada
will be pushed as rapidly as the work can
be accomplished, and when completed will
furnish practically an air line from Denver
TO the Coast, via the Central Pacific con-
nection.

Electricity in Europe.

Thomas A. Edison talks very enter
taingly OF his trip to Europe. When asked
how advance in the use of electricity in
England compared with the advance in
this country, he replied that in England no
important advancement has been made.
and that in London tho wires were put
down by a wrong system which allowed no
increase in the supply which tho wires
could afford. In Germany he thought they
were possibly ahead of New York City In
electricity, and said ono could walk miles
in Berlin and see no lights except those
furnished by electricity.
'In France" he said, there has also
been much advancement, but not as much
a. In Germany. The French have also
adopted the right principle in electric light.
ing. saw in Paris one station which is
by far the finest In tho world. ~
Mr.. Edison predicted that in Ave years
electricity would be far cheaper than gas.

AN AFRICAN EXPEDITION.
The Scientific Party Who are to View
the Suns Eclipse.

The expedition which will sail from
New York on the Pensacola next Saturday
for West Africa is one of :he most import
ant, from scientific standpoint, that has
ever been sent out by the United States
At the last session OF Congress an appro-
priAtion OF 6. 900 was made fer the purpose
Of observing the eclipse OF the sun which
occurs on December % Since then, how
ever, the intended scope of the expedition
has been very much enlarged, and some of
the most prominent scientists of the coun-
try will make the trip for the purpose Of
studying marine biology-thc trade winds
of the ocean, gravitation OF the earth at
different points, depth of the ocean. an
thropology and tho fora and fauna of
Africa.
Tho party, including the astrono-
mcrs. will number twenty five,
many Of them representing lead.
ing colleges of the country.
Among those who will go from Washing
ton will be Professor l.. ]. Loornis, Pro-
fessor +. II. Bigclow, Professor w. Rar-
vey Brown Of the National museum, Pro-
fcssor Cleveland Able OF the Signal
otiicc, G: d. Preston OF the Coast and
Gcodcuc Survey, and probably others.
Columbia College, Princeton, Amherst and
Bowdoin will be represented by professors
and Yale and Harvard will send instru-
mcnts from their well equipped observa-
tories.
The trip will also be exceedingly hazard
Gus, especially to those who view tho
eclipse. The observations will be taken in
tho interior of Africa, about 100 miles from
the west coast, in section Of country In
habited principally by savagcs and subject
to fevcrs Of the most virulcnt and fatal
FORMS.

Tie Indians.

A writer In the Century, who has no
faith in the In1ian schools, and who
ignores facts we'll known to persons
who have taken an interest In the In
dian question, says:
If anything IL done to relieve the
condition of the Indian tribes it must
be scheme which begins at the bot
tom and takes the whole outfit" as a
Western man would say, in its scope.
If these measures of relief are at all
tardv, before we realize ii the wild In
dian tribes will be. as some writer has
said, "loafers and outcasts contending
with the dogs for kitchen scraps in
Western villages" They have all raised
stock successfully when not interfered
with or not forced by insufficient ra-
tons to eat up their stock cattle to APP
pease their hunger, and L have never
heard that Indians were not made of
soldier stuff.
A great many Western garrisons
have their corps of Indian scouts. In
every case they prove efficient. They
are naturally the finest irregular cav
airy on the face of this globe, and with
an organization similar to the Russian
Cossacks, they would do the United
States great good and become gradual
l. civilized. An irregular cavalry is
every year n more and more important
branch of the service. Any good cav
airy officer could, L believe, take q
command of Indians and ride around
the world without having a piece of
bacon, or cartridge, or horse issued
by his Government. So far as effective
police work in the West is concerned
the corps of Indian scouts do nearly
all of that service now. They all like
to be enlisted into the service, uni
versally obey orders, and are never
disloyal.

A MearisOme Subject.

People who are completely absorbed
in their own own personality make the
grave error of supposing that the
subject of which they never tire is
equally interesting to others; hence, If
they "enjoy poor health" it is their
habit to give ELUSIVE descriptions of
numerous aches and pains to whom-
soever they meet. Now, illness, of all
things in the world, is the least inter
esting, and even in ones own family
soon becomes tiresome. Sympathy
called upon too often becomes TO a GER
tain degree lessened. We can each re-
call too many people who make bodily
ills the stock subject for conversation
in and out of season, and a feeling OF
depression inevitably follows their
minute recital. We ought not to ig-
more real illness and expect it to leave
or pass by us because of our non
recognition, but we need not draw the
shadow of disease about our family
gatherings and gala days by describ-
ing every little pain that has
wearied us.

/ admire the man who can knock the

one who thoroughly enjoys life. He
gets the best of everything, and has
more friends than he can count. His
wife and children are like him, and
nothing distulbs the even tenor of his

and relatives see what weak and

and frets, is always busy, and is ex-
ceptionally likely to be mad at meal
time. He would be provoked at receiv-
ing pension, and the greeting of Saint
Peter will not suit him. 1t is habit,

trihes can be overcome, and thrice
blessed is the man who nevs- gets
