The Chimes i'm Old Trinity.

There is a delightful mystery about
the Trinity chime. 1t is the oldest in
this country, except the chime of Christ
church in Philadelphia. But very little
is known Of the history of Trinity's older
bells. From the Inscriptions upon them
it is supposed that the five bells that at
first composed the chime were cast in
London. One more. it is believed. came
from England in 17SS. when the second
Trinity church was erected. When the
present Trinity church was built in 1945
there were six old bells in the steeple.
The largest one was cracked and was
sent to Troy to be recast. and at the
same time four more Troy bells were
bought.
Consequently the Trinity chime now
consists of ten bells, five cast in England
and five cast in Troy. The largest
weighs 3,S05 pounds, the smallest 750
and the whole together about 15.0OC
pounds. They are hung in such heavy
wooden framework that the full volume
of their sound is never heard in the
street. Even before the improvements
in Grace church, Trinity's method o.
ringing was considered primitive by com
parison.-New York Sun.

Caution to HouseIseepers,

Housekeepers are warned against the
"California cold process" of fruit can
ming. Professor e. w. Hilgard, director
of the California University experiment
station, has issued circulars repudiating
the "cold process" and warning persons
against the use of the compound ex.
tract" advertised. The health Of the
household finds o new menace in the
increased use Of powerful drugs in the
preservation of food. Salicylic acid bo-
racic are now in extensive use. Manu-
facturers of mince meat put up wet in
cans or jars are using such acids, and
they are also put into vegetables, pickles
and preserves.
The New Jersey state board Of health
has condemned this practice. One Of ite
members - Albert R. Leeds-recontly
called attention through the Philadel-
phia Ledger to the extensive Use OF the
dangerous drug. He says: "Medical
authorities ascribe to salicylic acid five
different kinds of toxic action. Its infrl.

heart or lung troubles. The drug il
principally used for rheumatic disord
crs. Considering that there are methods
OF preservation which render its use
unnecessary, that its action is cumulat
i've, and that article after article of foo(
may be taken, each of which contain
it, thesafe plan would be to restrict tn
use of this drug to medicinal purposes.

EVENTS IN THE SPORTING WORLD
A Row in the Camp of the
Baseball Magnates.
Finn Declines to Play His Team in
Los Angeles.
The Dukes Hired Men Jump Their Jobs
and VIII Play the Finals
Off in This City-Other
Sporting Notes.

Much to the surprise OF everybody the
Los Angeles baseball team arrived in
this city yesterday morning. 1t had
been supposed that the greater part of
the final games between Los Angeles
and San Jose would be played upon the
Haight.street grounds in San Francisco,
with probably two or three games at
Piedmont, the remainder of the games
necessary to settle the league champion
ship, OF course, being played in Los An
geles. This is the programme which
should naturally follow, provided every
thing worked with that smoothness
which should characterize the delibera-
tions of the magnatorial house. But it
didn't turn out that way, as will be
seen by the following Associated Press
dispatch from San Francisco:
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-The Califor-
MIA league magnatee held meeting
yesterday afternoon, and an attempt
was made to agree upon schedule for
the final series between Los Angeles
and San Jose. Managers Finn and Van
Derbeck were both present and ex-
pressed their views ON the matter, and
there was clash between them. The
LOS AnSele6 manager WanJeu tne games
played in his town, but Duke Finn did
not wish to travel 30 far. They could
come to no agreement, and Mr.. Van
Derbeck broke up the meeting by walk
ing out in indignation, and took his
ball players on the 2:30 p. m. train for
Los Angeles. In consequence of this,
the games which it had been agreed
should be played at the Haight-street
grounds on Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday will not be played.
The only thing needed to be added to
the above is that the San Jose players,
owing to non-sgreement with Duke Finn
as to terms and other matters, have
taken the thing into their own hands
and will be here today. Thus the final
series of nine games to settle the PEN
nant for the year will be played here,
commencing Thursday afternoon. Van
Haltren and DeWald will come down
with the San Joses, and the Angels will
be fortified with Phil Knell and the only
Tom Brown of the st. Louis National
league team, who is said to be the fastest
man on the base line in the United
States.

Eating Shoe Hash.

In London a century ago it was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
''fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of lady out of her shoe. The
Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Connoisseur, relates an incident of
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper.
1.-The cook set himself seriously to
work upon it, He pulled the upper part
(Which was of fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into a ragout,
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily of this ex-
quisite imprc,nptu."

Tho Color of the Eyes.

A famous optician has discovered that
women have a larger proportion of
brown eyes than men. If in parents the
mother has brown eyes and the father
blue the chances are lightweight to
twelve that the girls of the family will
be brown eyed, the percentage in favor
of the boys having blue eyes being
seventy-two tc twenty-eight. If the
parents have eyes of like color the
chances in favor of the children, both
male and female, having eyes of the
same color is ninety-two to eight.-Ex-

CHILDS vs.. RIVERS.
The Former Wins the Fight But Los
the Decision.

The Former Wins the Fight But Loses
the Decision.
Probably the most unsatisfactory
glove contest ever given in this city oc-
Cured last evening at the Pastime club
rooms, between Childs, the colored
heavyweight, and Rivers, the white
fighter from Kansas City. The affair
lasted a round and half, the white man
not being in it at any stage. Rivers has
splendid chest development and long
reach, but is deficient in muecle and
not particularly versed in boxing. He
acts like man entirely new to the
ring. Childs is in splendid condition
and has improved wonderfully in
science. He had his man completely
thrashed in no time, the fight being 60
one-sided as not to call for any detailed
account.
The way the affair was conducted,
however, was most discreditable while
Rivers was on the floor and the time
keeper was counting the 10 seconds Off,
one of his seconds, without any protest
from anyone except Childs' seconds,
jumped in the ring and tried to lift his
man up.
Everyone supposed the fight was
Childs', and Referee Curran waited
until quiet was restored, when he said !:
'T'm not Satisfied with the result Of this
fight"
At this point one of Rivers seconds
commenced to shout "foul," and
claimed that red spot on their man q
stomach was evidence of knee blow CT
foul. A doctor who looked at it
laughed and said to HERALD reporter ::
SIT is just red mark; the man is not
hurt" However Mr.. Curran an
nounced that he would give the fight to
Rivers. Childs was brought back to the
ring and made vigorous protest. He
said he had half way expected to meet
with unfair treatment, and had care
fully avoided anything which could pos
sibly be construed as a foul. If the
decision was not reversed, he would
never enter the ring again.
The affair was most unsavory, and
offended all lovers of fair play. Childs
would be safe in backing himself to
knock Rivers out in three rounds at any
time. He is winner, and, in the
hands of a good manager, would come
very near getting to the top OF the heap
in his class.
The preliminaries were not notable,
excepting couple of exhibition rounds
between a lightweight named Frazier
and his big trainer, negro named Cot
ton. Frazier gave signs of being rat.
Ting good man.

THE MAD STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

Most of the People on Board Were Chi

the Ship Was Sinking All Efforts OF
the Part of the European Officers to Re
strain Them Were Fruitless---A Broken
Shaft the Cause of the Trouble.
LONDON, Jan 14.-Dispatches from
Hong Kong give particulars of the found
ering of the steamship Namchow off Cut
Hi Point, in which Ala persons, including
the European crew of the ship, were
drowned
The steamship Meifoo brought the
news of the wreck of the Namchow to
Hong KeBg- 1t appears that the pro-
peller shaft of the Namch0w snapped in
two while that vessel was plunging in .
heavy sea, the regulators not having
power enough to control the shaft while
the propeller was whirling out of water
during a head plunge.
When the shaft was carried away the
sea rushed into the shaft alley, which,
with that part of the stern of the vessel
from which the shaft protruded, was
badly damaged by the accident. The
water quickly made its way into the hold
The steam pumps were put to work but
the fires of the engine room being extin-
guished by the rising water, they were
soon useless, and the Namchow began to
settle down.
When the first signs of danger became
known there was terrible panic among
the 800 or 400 Chinese passengers on
board The European officers did every
thing possible to allay the fears of the
passengers, but in vain.
The Chinese acted more like a lot of
raving maniacs let loose than like human
beings in their senses They crowded
into the boats and so hampered the Off
GERS and crew in their efforts to lower
them that it was soon seen that escape
by that means would be an impossi-
bility.
The panic-stricken Chinese were not to
be cowed down to order, even by the
pistols of the officers, and the doomed
steamship went down with the Chinese
and a few Europeans battling desperately
for posses 1Ja Of the boats, for life
belts, for spare spars or other means of
safety.
Several of the boats, partly lowered,
were overturned as the vessel was sink
ing by the crowd of Chinese who had
forced their way into them. Several
Chinese and a few Europeans are reported
to have been killed by knife thrusts and
pistol shots during the mad struggle for
life.
The steamship Meifoo rescued a few
survivors who furnished this account of
the wreck of the Namchow. The latter
vessel is described as an Anglo-Chinese
trading steamship engaged in the coast
ing trade in Chinese waters.
