THE CANADIAN GAME.
All Ready for the Big Match on Thurs

All Ready for the Big Match on Thurs
day Next.
Lacrosse, the national game of Can.
ada, is booming in Los Angeles just at
present, and the match on Thursday
afternoon at Agricultural park promises
to eclipse any event of similar char
acter ever held in the west. Both clubs
are composed of former crack Canadian
players. About two months ago at
Riverside the local club defeated the
Los Angeles team after hot struggle.
This time the Los Angeles team expect
to turn the tables. There is no doubt,
however, but that it will be a game
worth going a long way to see.
The Los Angeles club met last evening
to perfect final preliminaries.
Messrs. Flammer, Osgood and Eberle
were appointed committee to meet the
visiting team at the depot and escort
them to the hotel. 1t was decided to
hold a practice this afternoon at the
corner Of Eighth and Hope street. The
team to represent Los Angeles will be
selected by DR.. Kannon, E. J. Robert
son and TT. Osgood. There will be no
admission charged either at the gate or
for the grand stand, and the public is
cordially invited to be present: The
game will start at 2:15 p. m. The Los
Angeles team will be attired in black
guernseys, white knickerbockers and
white hats. The Riverside uniform is
all white. Lacrosse is an intensely ex-
citing game and no one should miss see
ing the match on Thursday.

Electricity That Kills.

DR.. G. F. Chandler of the Columbia
School Of Mines says: "An interesting
misapprehension that exists in the minds
OF a good many persons is concerning
the vital dangers that lurk in the pres
sure of, say, 1000 volts. The newspapers
often tell US that man has been killed
by such pressure, whereas, in fact,
such pressure alone couldn't kill O
humming bird. have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an electro
motive force of 100000 volts without
feeling anything more than very slight
burn.
"The danger arises only when the
volts are REINFORCED by good many
amperes or currents, as when one takes
hold of a charged wire. Then one feels
shock that is unmistakable, because
force Of a great many currents in the
wire suddenly decompose all the fluids
in the body. The salt in the blood at
once turns to chlorine gas, and the man
whose veins are charged with this deadly
poison cannot in reason be expected to
live long"

Fooled by a Fiiibuster.

. A. P. Hulse, late of the custom house,
tells good story of some filibusterine
that came under his notice years ago:
In 1859 Harry Maury, midshipman,
who had resigned from the service OF
the United States government, was in
command Of brig off Mobile bay. The
vessel was loaded with fibusters for
Walker and was overhauled by revenue
cutter. An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the YES
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury'
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening lantern
to a pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come to.
Then came the order, 'Let go your
anchori' Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms of chainw was the next
order. Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over, the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud. He then,

The Two Chief Culprits Must Die-Sen-

SMLA, August 10.--The marquis OF
Lansdowne, viceroy of India, has rem
dered decision on the appeal of the
Manipur princes who were condemned
to death for the part thev took in the
massacre of Commissioner Quinton
Political Agent Grimwood and other
British officers at Manipur, in March

The sentences of Senaputty, brother oi
the regent of Manipur and commander
in-chief of the Manipur army, and Am
tongal, the general who gave the order
for the massacre, have been con-
firmed by the viceroy, and they
will be executed. In the cases Of

A Youthful Yankees Ingenuity.

A boy we know had some chickens of
which he had made pets. He and his
father went to their work early in the
morning, and while the rest of the fam
lily were away for the summer it became
question how the chickens were to be
fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion. He
took an alarm clock and fastened it Sc
curely to one side of the barn by means
of two spikes. Next he hung a bucket
of corn to rafter and connected it with
the clock by stout cord.
He wound up the alarm and set it at
o'clock. At that hour the alarm went
off, wound up the string and tipped ovel
the bucket. And so the chickens vert
fed by clockwork. k.-Cleveland Leader.

intellectual Men and ouida's Novels

luCcllecCu8l men ana OulOa'b NOVELS
Some time ago busy man of the
world asked Mr.. Charles A. Dana how
he managed to keep himself mentally
so fresh and vigorous. Mr.. Dana gave
several explanations, and among others
he admitted that he had taken to read
ing novels. Frequently Mr.. Dana is
seen riding on the elevated reading a
novel or volume of short stories. and
the smile which plays on his face indi-
Gates how thoroughly he delights in such
pursuit. He is great admirer of nov
elist whom Mr.. Howells would esteem
with horror, and that is Ouida; and it is
curious thing, perhaps, that among the
many readers of this popular writer in
this city there are to be numbered SO
many vigorous intellects
Roscoe Conkling anticipated new
novel Of Ouidas with as much pleasure
as Frenchman used to look for new
installment of Alexander Dumas ro-
mances, and he regarded Ouida's ''Under
Two Flags" as one of the best stories
which he had ever read, and even went
so 8ar as to recommend that grim and
dignifed justice Of the supreme court,
Samuel Blatchford, to read it if he
wanted mental tonic. Congressman
Reed is great admirer of Ouida, and
Joe Choate confesses to the pleasure he
has taken in reading the works of this
woman.
Novel reading has become passion
with many of our professional men, and
saw the other day the dignified presi-
dent of Yale college trotting across the
street to the Grand Central station with
couple of novels under his arm and an
other one in his hand, with his fingers
inserted between the pages, as though
he had just been reading it and even be-
grudged the interruption which took
him from his hotel to the railway sta
tion.-E. j. Edwards in Philadelphia

In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge of the filibus-
tering vessel, was down in the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the en-

tapped on the shoulder and told of where
they were and asked if he wished to go

he took it, returning to the cutter in
