NEW YORK, Oct. 2-There was a sur
prise In store for Rev. DR.. Charles f.
Deems after the simple services which he
conducted last evening at the Church of the
Strangers in Mercer street, near Eighth.
Mrs. Frank Leslie, the publisher, and
William c. kingsbury Wilde, stalwart
young brother of the aesthetic poet, Oscar
Wilde, were among the congregation.
Mrs. Leslie was plainly dressed ard
looked youthful, but not so youthful as
her six foot, black bearded, black eyed es-
cort. Dr. Deems apparently noticed their
presence, but he was unaware of their
mission.
The PcctOr Hears Some News.
They had not come entirely TO hear the
doctors sermon. DIR. Deems had pro-
nounced the benediction and was descend
ing the pulpit stairs when he was halted
by the sexton. Mr.. Wilde had previously
spoken briefly to the sexton. The sub
stance of his remark was that Mrs. Leslie
was going to be married. The bridge
groom was to be Wilde The congrega-
ton, which was small was out of the

The turning point
in woman's life brings peculiar
weaknesses and ailments. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. 1t is a
powerful, invigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appendages in particular.
"Run-down," debilitated and deli
cate women need it. It's a legiti-
mate medicine purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless. It's guaranteed
to give satisfaction in every case, or
money refunded. Nothing else does
as much. You only pay for the
good you get. Can you ask more?
AS a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. 1t is equally eficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken
for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and
most critical period, known as "The
Change of Life"

PRESIDENT HART TALKS A LITTLE.
He Thinks That Those Boston New York
Games Look Very Queer

Games Look Very Queer.
President Hart has received the assur-
ance from Nick Young that the postponed
games which it was proposed to protest.
aud which had much to do with ChicaSo's
defeat, were consented to by six Of the
clubs, making them legal. So protests on
this ground are useless; but he cannot see
why Chicago's consent was not asked-in
other words, why the matter was kept Sc
cret from the club that was principally
interested-unless there was some dark
lantern work on foot. But about the re-
markable series of wins of Boston he
talked Saturday without reserve, and said
he proposes to find out whether there is
any ground for the suspicion of foul play.
The Singular Tactics of New York.
He said: Il do not share the opinion of
many that it was a combined effort on the
part of the eastern clubs to throw the
championship to Boston, but do think
the New York club especially has laid
itself wide open to criticism by the very
singular manner in which it placed its
team on the field in the five games played
in Boston. The Bostons have of late been
playing a wonderfully strong game, and
might possibly have won five straight
games from the New Yorks on their mer-
its, but it is very unfortunate for them
and all concerned that their title to the
pennant should be clouded by the sus-
picious actions of those in control of the
placing of the New York team.
Either Dishonesty or Incompetency.
From present information and from
private advices from Boston l cannot but
feel that there has been either downright
dishonesty on the part of the New York
club or gross incompetency on the part of
those In control of the team. ! have not
definitely decided what action i shall
take, but in order to bring the matter
squarely before the League | may protest
all the games played by the New York
and Boston clubs in Boston during the Chi
cago series, which ! trust will result in an
investigation which will clear the atmos-
phere and place the responsibility where
it belongs. If the New Yorks were SO
badly broken up as they claim why did
they co2sent to playing two extra games
in Boston, Que of which should have been
played in New York instead of Bostopf
Will Insist Justice.
"The base ball public may rest assured
that / shall leave no stone unturned to
probe this matter to its bottom and to at
least place the responsibility for the IN
fortunate state of affairs regarding the
championship where it belongs, and l
shall insist upon the expulsion Of guilty
parties, be they 'magnates, managers.

Tie Charges Against Egan.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-The Gillian rep

for Balmaceda, with assuring Admiral
fucCann that the junta could not win, and
with inducing the American Gable COM

The Talk of Crookedness.

In this city the feeling is very strong
that the Chicago club has been robbed of
n well-won victory, and won by such
clumsy fraud that an infant could detect
it. The effect of this on base ball is some
thing for the future to decide, but if it is
not satisfactorily cleared upit cannot fail to
be disastrous Even the cranks will not
go to see base ball contest if it is felt
that the game is not conducted on the
square. The feeling that games were
thrown" to Boston is not confined to
Chicago. In Boston itself and in New
York it is strong in spite of the denials
made by the managers of those two clubs

Usher of the Examiner is W. h. Hearst, only son
OF the late Senator Hearst. who has expended
an immense amount money in establishing the

most every one takes the Examiner. Our offer
to furnish both papers for $3.50 is an exceeding
ly liberal one, and we expect to obtain a large
list of subscribers for the Examiner, as we'll as

welcome visitor by every family who reads it.
while thousands regard il as indispensable and

DISASTROUS CLOUD BURST.
One at GenOa and Another at Austin
do much Damage.


Genoa was visited by a disastrous
cloud burst last Friday, which did
considerable damage to property in
and about Genoa. Dake's under
taking establishment was swept
away, Mrs. Raycraft's orchard was
covered with debris. l.. Fray is the
heaviest loser, his fine meadow and
grain field being covered with bowl
ders, and his lumber fiume, costing
$4,000 being swept away. The CEN
trail part of Genoa entirely escaped
the flood, but the southern part and
beyond Valleys Springs the coun-
try was laid waste. The damage
done cannot be estimated.
On the 29th of last month the
town of Austin was visited by a
cloud-burst and great damage was
done. Clouds had overhung the
mountain tops for several days, and
shortly after 2 o'clock in the after
noon of the day named the steam
whistles gave the people warning,
In three minutes the rushing waters
from the summit of the mountains
had reached Main street, coming
wave over wave and carrying every
thing before it, including powders
weighing over ton. The city rail-
way was torn from its bed, awnings
were torn down, and water-mains
were uprooted from three feet under
ground. The majority of the bust
ness houses are filled with mud and
water to the depth of three or four
feet. The water roared terrifcally
as it came down the canyon. The
streets present the appearance of
volcanic eruption. The damage
will reach $4,000. The waters re-
ceded in three hours.

Fine Corn.

Formerly he has fed his corn to
hogs for fattening, but this year he
will probably have it ground into
meal at the new mill that is being
erected in the Valley. If he fat
tens his pigs on corn he will have
the finest pork in the Valley.
