A SLOW GAME.
The Centrals and C. L. AS. Drew a
Small Crowd Yesterday.

About fifty people went out to the base
ball park yesterday afternoon to witness
the game between the G. l.. A. team and
the Central Railroad boys.
That the fans were faxed is a certainty.
After waiting nearly an hour after
scheduled time, the contestants, all of
whom were differently arrayed, and
some not uniformed at all announced them
selves ready, whereupon the game began
and with the exception of the parts of
one or two players the game was devoid
of interest.
Cummins and McAvoy were in the
points for the C. L. AS, while Butler
Strickland and Grass pitched TO Douglass
and Ferguson on the Central Railroads.
Savarese's catch of Krenson's long fly to
center, and McAvoy's catching was cred
editable for the G. L. AS. while Fergu-
son and Grass, in the inield, and Speight
in the outtield, captured fielding honors.
Krenson did the batting for the Centrals.
The work of the other players was not
above the average. Following is the
score:

MEXICAN BURIED TREASURES.
a Network of Passages Found Under
Old Monasteries.
From the New York Times

City of Mexico, Mexico, Aug. 16.-An
elderly woman, once a nun of the order
of Santa Teresa de Jesus, has informed
Gomez del Campo, q prominent citizen
that in the corner of the church of Las
Vizicanas is buried $50, 900. She declines
to point out the exact spot.
Sundry subterranean passages have
been discovered in the buildings IN this
city formerly occupied by converts and
monasteries. The general direction of
these passages leads to the belief that
there exists, or existed, a regular net
work of them, affording means of com
munication between the different relig-
ious houses, both in the city proper and
the suburbs.
The fact that in one or two of them
treasure has been found leads to the ad-
ditional belief that at right angles to
these passages there are others in which
more treasures are concealed, the en-
frances to the last named passages being
known, or having been known, only to
the superiors of the different orders, and
particularly to those of the Jesuits

More You Pay, Less You Get.
From the New York Sun.

1t is one of the anomalies of modern no
tel life that the more you pay the less you
expect in return.
In the huge caravansaries of the large
American cities, where a man pays So a
week for a ROOM without board, he never
thinks of asking any service of the en-
ployes without paying literally for it; he
is charged for a fire, for light after mid
night, for the use of the telephone, for
taking lunch in his room, for corkage on
his own wines and must tip the walters.
In country hotel, where he pays So a
week, with board, he can have a fire in
his room when he wants it, he can trust
the landlord to send letters and messages.
he can smoke all over the house, he can
borrow anything from a gun to a pair of
trousers, he can get the laudlady to mend
his torn coat, he can call for breakfast at
5 o'clock in the morning and get it, he can
get the landlords boy to dig bait for him,
and he has TO tip nobody.

The Guyton Juniors Down the @. E. R.
Juniors by Score of 40 to s.
A very closely contested game of ball
was played at Guyton yesterday afternoon
resulting in victory for the home team.
A comparatively large crowd turned out
to see the game, the features of which
were the battery work of the Central's
men, Guerard holding the Guyton boys
down to safe hits. The running catches
of Whitehead ofIthe Centrais, the brilliant
catch of hot liner by Davis, the manner
in which Sullivan captured sky-scrap-
ing foul in the third inning are also
worthy of note
The work of Mr. Cubbedge as umpire
was very satisfactory, with the exception
of a few decisions which seemed to favor
the home team.

A Woman Dressed in Tights Appears
on the Boardwalk.

rom bil6 L ul1dueIpula IiueS.
Asbury Park, Aug. 16-Mrs. Angelina
Allen, stylish looking widow of New
York, who is a guest of the Lafayette,
created a sensation on the boardwalk to-
day by appearing in a costume that was
considerably abbreviated She wore a
suit of blue silk, cut extremely low in the
neck, and her limbs were encased in pink
tights. The skirt was very short and did
not come within six inches of the knees.
Mrs. Allen wore beautiful and costly
necklace, and Leghorn hat was tipped
jauutily on the side of her head.
The people of the town who saw her
stared in amazement. Nothing like it
had ever been seen before on the board
walk. She was the cynosure of a thou
sand pairs Of eyes Mrs. Allen finding
that she was the object OF considerable
attention, made break for q neighbor-
ing photograph gallery. She was fol-
lowed by 1000 people, mostly men. A
carriage was procured and Mrs. Allen
was taken to her hotel. The crowd in
stead of dispensing increased as the cab
rolled up Fourth avenue and when Mrs.
Allen got to the hotel the street was
thronged with sight-seers, each eager to
catch glimpse of the woman who had
created such CONSERVATION and who had
the nerve to appear on the boardwalk in
suit that would have gone first rate in
concert hall or an opera company.
Mrs. Allen, finding such a crowd in
front of the hotel, induced the driver to
take her to Main street, where she
boarded a car. In half an hour she was
back again at the hotel. Mrs. Allen said
that 1t was her purpose to have her pic
ture taken, but being too nervous to pose
decided to go to the boardwalk She
made no attempt to enter the water.

second series, has returned to Savannah.
Curtis says that he viii very probably
join in the sport again next

the team that wants him must do the

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The Greeley

Burnham, junior member of the firm.
Assets, approximately, $500, 900 to $500.

100000. The cause of the assignment is
inability to realize on assets, as a result
of the present financial stringency. Ac-
cording to a statement of the officers Of
the company, the assignment is really a
liquidation in court, instead of out of it.
The companyis one of the Oldest and larg-

disastrous and complete bank failures
that has occurred in Kansas is that of the
F'inny county farmers bank. 1t will
not be able to pay more than Is per cent
of its deposits, and, in5he opinion Of State
Bank Commissioner Bredenthal, its Off
GERS should be arrested and prosecuted
for swindling. The bank is the successor
of the Finny county nationalbanksw which,
when it was in a failing condition last
winter, was converted into a state bank.
LOOTED By DISHONEST orE1o1A1s.
When reorganization was effected, with
capital stock of $4,000, Bank Commits
sioner Chas. +. Johnson visited Garden
City and made an examination He was
shown $4,000 in cash, and on that show
ing permitted the bank to begin business.
After he had returned to Topeka, as it
now appears, lot of the worthless paper
of the national bank was substituted for
the cash, and the bank was looted in a
most methodical fashion by its officers.
Hard times had nothing to do with it,.
