eased M little, and altogether four runs
we're made by the Phillies, only half as
many as our champions made.
THE GREAT FEATURE
OF course. Baldwin was the great feature
on the local side. and after him the figure of
s'Pop'' Corkhil! was very prominent Mark
began a. if he was out to show the Philadel-
phia representatives trick or two, and a.
though he now and again looked little
shakv, he braced up and really made very
small people OF the Quaker City lads Bald
win pitched great game, and he went into
the box fully assured that he would come
out winner
And old Pop! Didn't he thump the bal,
and field as if the entire well being OF Alle-
gheny county depended on the result. In
the eighth inning he made as neat home
run as has been seen here for long time
He had two other hits also. Lally fielded
brilliantly, and Hanlon was again in left
fie d, and did well, indeed.
The visitors did not field well by any
means, the oUtfelders being sadly OF. ESpcr
pitched a good game, but toward the finish
he began to weaken and in the ninth inning
it looked as if he was going to collapse. He
held together and finished the game, but
only in bad condition. There were LILO
people present and for time they enjoyed
the contest but interest in it died as it be-
came apparent that the home team could
not very well lose.
WHERE THEY TAILED.
Run getting commenced in the second in
ming. Becl1ley reached first on tumble by
Myers and was forced out by Hanlons little
hit to short. Hanlon stole second and then
Lally struck out. Reilly got to third and
Hanlon home on Mayors tumble and then
Corkhill and Baldwin followed with each q
single, scoring Reilly.
In the seventh inning Corkhill led of with
Il single to center and Baldwin sacrificed
him to second Bierba auer's single to center
scored Corkhill. In the ninth inning Cork
hill led of and knocked the ball straight in
between the right and center ielders. The
ball went clean to the fence and Corkhill
got home easily on the hit Hamilton
muffed Baldwin's fly and the fielder did the
same with Bierbauer's fly. Then Shugart
singled to center and Miller flied out to
Hamilton. Beckley made a single, Baldwin
having scored on Beckley's hit. Delehanty
ftlmbled the hit OF Bcckley and as a result
Beckley got clean around the bases senuing
Shugart ahead OF him.
Iu the eighth inning Brown started off for
the visitors and got his base on balls. Two
sacrifices and a wild throw by Reilly al
lowed him to score. In the ninth three runs
were made on singles by Clements, Dele
hanty, a base on, balls, a mufied throw by
Shugart and two sacrifice hits. The score:

Forty Years Hence.

Unless some great change takes
 place in our financial or social sys- tenn the millionaire is certainly com
 ing at rapid pace. True, vast fortune does not multiply by mere
 interest, if kept at home, quite so
 rapidly as one of more moderate
 size, on account of the difficulty of reinvesting such enormous incomes
 at full rates of interest. But 1t is also true that in other respects large
 fortunes tend to increase much
 more rapidly than very small ones Opportunities for large profits on special transactions are presented to
 millionaires far more often than to others. They are more likely to gain by the "unearned increment" They can afford to pay for the very best service, and they can and do secure agents of great ability and integrity. Such agents can as eas fly make safe investments in the west at s per cent as in the east at five per cent. Small capitalists must keep their money at home, because they cannot watch over dis tant investment or afford to employ local agents. These advantages more than compensate for the low CT rate of interest which large capi- talists often have to accept on home investments in consequence of their rapid aceumulations-
 Thus We see that in the last twen- ty years, while rates of interest have been constantly declining in Amer ica, vast fortunes have increased more rapidly than ever before. Several non-speculative estates have increased five-fold in less than forty years. Interest is now very low, but adding to interest the steady incre- ment of this city lands, an add;- ton of at least four per cent per annum at compound interest, may be counted upon for these great estates At that rate a present for tune of $2OO,OOO,OOO would become a billion (s1,OOO,OOO0,OOO) in less than forty years. Financial condi- tions remaining unchanged, the American millionaire might reason ably be looked for within that time and several billionaires might be expected within sixty years.-Thos. G. Sherman in January Forum.

The Pineapple.

The pineapple will stand more cold and frost than we have in Yuma It requires a warm, mellow soil, like that below town on the Colorado river. It is a bulbous plant, like the desert lily. Before planting the bulb should be dry, the top we'll pruned and the roots cut off. The plants require but lit tie water. This should always be poured on the very top and allowed to run down the stalk to the roots Each plant bears one pineapple, which grows in the center of the top. like a cabbage. They bear ill from fifteen to eighteen months af- ter planting. From six to sixteen little bulbs or suckers from the out side of the mother bulb, which dies as soon as its fruit is ripe. From 2.000 to 1000 plants, according to variety, can be planted Oil an acre Sentinel.

South African Gold.

A South African dispatch says there is an enormous increase in the output of gold at Johannesburg, and that the field there promises to be the richest in the world. The Mashonaland prospectors report that in that remote part of Africa, until recently almost unknown to Europeans, they have found evi- dence of former occupation by a large mining population, as shown by the remains of extensive alluvial workings and shafts and excavations for small, rich leads, the quartz from which has been ground on large slabs of granite. The round stones used as crushing rollers lie about in hundreds, partially hidden by accumulated soil and tropical under growth.

J. NJ, Quiggle is in the city from Cababi, where he is sinking we'll for J. J. Devine. The tube is six inch one and is now down 700 feet. Sufficient water has not yet been reached, and the intention is to sink until abundance is found. Af- ter completing the contract Mir. Quiggle will begin on another he has taken to sink for the Helicon Mining and Milling Company, forty miles southwest of Casa Grande. This contract calls for the removal of tools now in the tube at the depth of 500 feet and sinking until water is found. This tube is also a six inch one.-Tucson Citizen.

The saltest piece of water upon earth is, according to Consul Gene ral Stewart, the Lake of Urumia, Persia, situated more than 4,00O feet above the sea level. It is much salter than the Dead Sea, the water being found on analysis to contain nearly p per cent of salt, The lake is 84 miles long and 24 miles wide, and its northern coasts are incrust- ed with border of salt glittering white in the sun. Itis said that no living thing can survive in it, ex- cept a very small species of jelly fish. It is very shalIow.-London Public Opinion.

Itis a singular fact that large percentage of criminals of the most vicious classes in all countries are possessed with a mania for tattoo ing emblems upom various portions of the body. Scientists find in this tendency an indication of primi- tive savagery, centuries of civiliza- tion having failed to eradicate the inclination. It is this same unSub- dued savagery which leads the criminals ofthi class to war against society. This tendency to tattoo the body is noticed in childhood, and Bertillion, the famous French inventor of a system of prison measurements, includes tattooing in his list of personal peculiarities of fcriminals.-Chicago Graphic.

A French chemist, NJ. Aime Gi- rard, has shown that the potato call ed "Richter Imperator," is we'll fit- ted for the production of alcohol by distillation on a commercial scale. At one operation 5000 kill ogrammes of potatoes were treated, and 10 liters of alcohol, absolutely pure, were obtained from every 100 kilogrammes of the tuber. Anoth- CT distillation gave 14 liters for the same quantity of roots. The 'draff" which resulted was readily eaten by cattle.

Phenomenal Gains of Population,

One of the features of the pres
 ent census exhibition is the re-
 markable growth during the past
 ten years of many of the cities of l the country. This is not so much : the case with the larger towns as with those of secondary rank. At
 the same time the increase of popu-
 lation shown by number of cities
 having 100000 inhabitants since
 the census of 1880 is striking in it's nature. In fact, the circumstance
 that there are now twenty-eight cities in the United States, as shown by the census, which contains over 100000 people, against twenty in 1880 and fourteen in 1870, is of it. self notable circumstance. Among the largest towns Chicago takes decided lead in point of growth, it's 1,099, ,O00 inhabitants represent ing an increase of 119 per cent, making it the second city of the country, and displacing from that position Philadelphia, which had occupied the post since the census of 1920 Brooklyn, too, with q gain of 43 per cent, stands out among the large Eastern cities, though the phenomenal progress of Chicago crowds it from the third rank which it held in 1880 to the fourth posi- ton. Cleveland, now the tenth city in point of size, gained 63 per cent. in it's population in the decade, and Buffalo, the eleventh, has increased at almost the sameTate, it's percent age being @ per cent. Iittsbure h . rate of growth was B per cent, Washington's 5 per cent. and Mil waukee's v per cent. The greatest proportionate gains among towns of 100000 or more inhabitants are, however, shown by a number of cities, particularly those in the West, which now for the first time appear in National census as hay Ing attained those dimensions. There are eight towns coming un- der this head-Minneapolis, Oma- Ina, Rochester, St. Paul, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Denver, and AL leghenv. The leader of these in point of its rate of increase is Omaha, which has gained no less than 360 per cent. in numbers dur the past ten years, Minneapolis comes next with 256 per cent, and is followed by St. Paul with 224 per cent. Dcnver's gain is at the rate of POS per cent, and that of Kan sas City at 40 per cent.-Brad- streets.

Investing in Steck Companies.

sln nearly all large enterprises tn
 general public are more or less re
 lied upon for pecuniary assistance
 As the business of the country
 grows in magnitude, corporation:
 multiply and the holdingsin stock:
 and bonds mount up into billions
 of dollars. In every large city are
 invested millions upon millions in
 home concerns of various kinds
 and the controlling purpose is gen. erally the earning of dividends
 The great majority invest in cor
 poration stocks in the hope of real izing profitable returns, and not to indulge the desire for speculation. They make these ventures partly upon their own judgment, but very largely upon the influence and judgment of others, and especial lY upon the business reputation, the financial standing, and the person. al character of the principal pro- moters of the several enterprises. It follows, then, that if the organ izers and managers of these corpor- ate concerns wish to rely upon the steady support of the public, they must deal fairly and openly with them. The stockholder who has the least pecuniary interest is en- titled to the fullest measure of in- formation. All should be on the same plane in this respect. There should be no concealments, no in ner circles, no imparting to one and withholding from another. If there has been fair and honest dealing from the beginning; if there has been no partiality on "the ground floor" or at any other stage; if the franchises and assets of the con- cern have been fairly valued and the business launched on an equitable basis, there will be no occasion for doefored statements or other de- vices for hoodwinking stockholders and throwing dust in the eyes of the public. Concerns so managed may not always meet the expecta- tion of their promoters, but they will never forfeit public confidence. The only safe way to maintain steadfast confidence in any corpor- ate enterprise is to pursue such a course as will cultivate and inspire that confidence. When this is not fully done very trifling circum- stances may beget suspicion, give rise to exaggerated rumors, and work irreparable injury. Many sound and reliable concerns are overwhelmed in difficulties by just such trifiing neglects and oversights as have been indicated, and when confidence is once weakened or de- stroyed it is regained, if at all, very laboriously and after long and pa tient waiting.-Pittsburgh Conner cIal Gazette.

The Earth'S Interior.

One of the most interesting ques
 tions relating 10 the earth consider.
 ed as planet is that of its interior
 constitution. Observations made
 in deep mines and borings indicate that the temperature increases as
 we go downward at the average rate
 of one degree Fahrenheit for every 1 fifty-fve feet of descent, so that if
 this rate of increase continued, the
 temperature at the deptb-o of mile
 would be more than one hundred degrees higher than at the surface, and, at the depth of forty miles, would be so high that everything, including the metals. would be in q fluid condition. This view of the condition of the earth's interior has been adopted by many, who hold that the crust of the earth on which We dwell is like a shell surrounding a molten interior. But calculations based upon the tidal effects that the attraction the sun and moon would have upon a globe with liquid in terior have led Sir William Thomp- son and others to assert that such a condition is impossible, and that the interior of the earth must be solid and exceedingly rigid to it's very centre. To the objection that the phenomena of volcanoes con tradict the assumption of a solid interior it is replied that unques tionably the heat is very great deep beneath the surface, and that reser- voirs of molten rock exist under volcanic districts, but that taking the earth's interior as a whole the pressure is so great that the tenden- cy to liquefaction caused by the heat is overba!anced thereby. The whole question, however, is an open one. According to the nebular hy- pothesis, which assumes that the bodies of the solar system once ex- isted in nebulous form and by gradual condensation and loss of heat have attained their present condition, it is probable that the earth IS still slowly cooling off, and that, as we see 1t, it represents an intermediate stage between the hot vaporous globe of planet like Jupiter and the cold and barren moon. If we accept this theory and it is yearly gaining strength-I then the habitable period in the earth's career appears to be but one chapter in its varied history. When it was yet molten and vapOrous 1t could not support life, but it shed light like a star. Now it possesses a cool and solid crust on which in numerable tribes and species of ar imal and vegetable life swarm and flourish. Anon it will become cold and inert, it's waters and its atmos- phere retreating into its interior, and with them the life that depends upon their presence will disappear. This possible cause of the cessation of the lifesupporting energies of the earth, it will be observed. is in dependent of the withdrawal of the light and heat of the sun, an ulti- mate catastrophe to which we have heretofore refcrred.-Prof. Garret P. Serviss.

The New French Lean.

A most remarkable SpectacIe Wal
 witnessed in Paris the other day
 when the new French loan was is
 sned. The people began to collec
 about the place of issue for at least twenty-four hours before the time specified for receiving subscriptions Many of them camped all night in the vicinity in order to retain their places in line. The wealthy people vied with the poorer classes, their carriages standing in the streets to wait until the doors were thrown open; but there was no favoritism on account of rank or riches. All had to take their places as they ar rived. First come, first served, y" was the rule, and the loan of 660,- 100000 of francs was subscribed for over and over again in a few hours. It was in the fullest sense of the word popular loan, and most clear ly attcsted the patriotism of the people, and their absolute conf- dence in the government and the future of France. But the feature most interesting to Americans was the striking contrast between the manner of issuing this French loan and that which prevails in the Uni ted States. In France the bonds were made to represent small sums, 50 francs or about SlO. and were is sued directly to subscribers, those subscribing for single bonds given the preference. In this way the bumblest citizen with $10 in his pocket can buy bond bearing 3 per cent interest. The Government thus becomes a savings-bank for the masses of the people, and the lat ter's interest in the maintenance of the Government, and of peace also, is increased. In thc United States loans are farmcd out to bankers, who are paid q commission, and who also make a heavy per cent in issuing them. Tke object hereto fore has bcen not to secure popular subscriptions, but the bidders for the heaviest blocks of stock have always been preferred. The bonds have represented such large sums as to preclude anything like pop ular subscription. many who might bid for so, or even $20, being too poor to take bond representing a S1O0, or, perhaps, ten times that amount. This has begotten dissat- isfaction, which is unpleasantly eX- pressed from time to time by sheer ing allusions to "bloated bondhold- ers," "plutocracy," and the like. Had all of our loans assumed a popular character, and the obliga- lions of the Government been dis tributed widely among the people. there would have been less grounds for the periodical complaints of la Dor organizations, and more for ex pecting the people to guard jealous lv our institutions and laws, and re sent attempts to unsettle or degrade them. Nothing so closely identi- ties a mans interests with those of the government, or gives him such immediate and personal anxiety for its preservation, as the possession of Its obligation, which must tluc- tuate with its prosperity or reverses. -Baltimore American.
