FLASHED TO Pixies PEAK.
A Message Sent Sixty-Six Miles by the
HeliOEraph.

heuOSf0pns
The sun has carried a message from the
top of the Equitable building. Denver, to
Pixies Peak. sixty-six miles. 1t was a
remarkable feat in photography signaling,
but it's success was fully up to expectations
Several days ago Sergts. McGione, Nc
Laughlln and Bissell left Denver for Pixies
Peak to make the experiment. This was a
message which was flashed from the top Of
the snow-covered peak:
pixies PEAK, September 8.
ITO Capt. Glassrod. Denver: We greet
you via sunbeam. Arrived at pm yes
terday: snow storm prevented our opening
station. (Signed) McGLONE."
Experiments will be continued al certain
hours for three days Of this week, at the
end of which the signal men will start for
their attempt to flash message from
Mount Uncompahgre to Mount Ellen 1S3
Peak could be distinctly seen by the naked
eye during the transmission of the message.
The Peak was first called from the Dem
YER side of the line, and within five minutes
after the operators began their work, the
responsive flash telling that Pixies Peak
was ready to talk. Capt. Glassrod express
ed himself as delighted with the result Of
the trial
An interesting feature Of the work is that
neither of the operating parties had the
slightest idea of the message that was to
be transmitted. Telescopes are used in TO-
cusing the flash, but after the field opera
lions are located the work is done by the
use of the mirror and screen.

LATE SPORTING NEWS
PUNCHED THEIR HITS.
The Browns Made a Garrison Finish
and Won.

Fhe browns Made Garrison Finish
and Won.
After scoring six runs in the first inning
in the game against st. Louis yesterday the
home team finally lost the contest, the
game being called in the seventh on account
of darkness. George Haddock, the ex-Sen-
ator, occupied the box for the home team
and Frank Ward played center field in
place of Abbey. Mr.. Belts, the new UNI
pire. appeared as master of the field for
the first time on the local grounds. and
clearly proved to every unbiased spectator
that he has no superiors in the business
He is the only umpire seen here this season
who has maintained proper order on the
field, he has sufficient backbone to enforce
his decisions Immediately, and he was i'm
partial. The only rulings open to question
were in declaring Quinn and Setback out at
the plate From the stand 1t looked to
many as though the runners were safe, but
the umpire was within a few feet of the
play.
Although eight earned runs and ten hits
were made of Haddock. he pitched fairly
good game. considering his long absence
from the diamond. At the bat he showed
up well, making two hits, one of them a
double. Clarkson pitched the first inning
for st. Louis. He gave Scheibe TX and
Joyce first on balls, they scoring on ward's
single Mcclure and Setback singled. Cart
wright filled the bases on a base on balls
Mcguire crossed the plate on Radford's sac
rifce: as did Selbach and Cartwright on
Haddock's double. Scheibeck made the
third man out.
At the opening of the second inning Brett
enstein took the field I'm place of Clarkson,
and the Senators could do little with him
st. Louis Tailed four times IN the first
twice in, the third and again four times
in the sixth, all by lucky conse cutive hit
ting Mcguire and Common made home
runs. and the former had two singles to his
credit in addition. The

AGAIN THE UMPIRE!
He Never VIII Decide Everything In
Favor of the Home Team.

Again the umpire" explains the I'M
biased spectator. THE man who essayed
to pilot yesterdays game through the shall
lows of dsapproval from the bleachers was
the wretchedest excuse for a fair man that
ever walked. Had he been even half way
just the game would have been won by
the Statesmen, 2 to l, though Haddock was
hit hard and often, and the fielding of the
home team was tinged deeply in ochre
For example. he had the effrontery to de-
eide two close home-plate decisions the same
way. although they were exactly the same
One robbed the Senators of a run. The
other play, which was precisely the same,
was called against the visitors, for a Won
der.
AN example of this robbery will serve to
show the agony which the spectators en-
dured while the Senators played poorly.
An easy bounder was hit down to Joyce
who made a gallant effort to stop the
sphere. He fumbled two or three times,
and then, with splendid try. managed to
get the ball within three feet of Cart
wrights hands. The runner was then past
the bag and the bIeachers turned away
sickened, when the highwayman in the
blue cap behind the catcher called the man
safe.
CURE snapped a smart one down to the
Freedman's Hospital. which dropped about
fifteen feet north Of the line. 1t was an
agony to hear that Jack Shepard at the
rubber yell: Foul ball.
"A Senator tried to steal second I'm the
fifth and the ball was put on his back be-
fore he had touched the bag. Any one but
a rank beginner would have called the
Washington man safe, but this travesty
upon umpires robbed the home team and
gave the play to the visitors. And so it
went through the game 1t began TO grow
dark in the sixth inning, and although
nptp wa oh he nil tn he
pay of President Young refused to call the
game, and thus the last chance that the
Senators had to win was taken from them"
Had it not been for the hard hitting of
the visitors and the poor field work of the
Washingtons the game might, with reason
able number of unfair decisions in favor
of the home team, have been chalked up
in favor of Washington.
Again the umpire

stances the Prince of Wales would consider
the challenge for the cup as withdrawn.
Both the Messrs. Gould, Capt Hank Half
and the crew of the Nigiant generally are
greatly depressed at this last accident to
the American yacht, Howard Gould, dis
cussing the matter, said:
1t is most unfortunate that we should
be compelled to end the seasons racing in
TINS manner. The only exclamation L can
give for the loss of the centerboard is that
the casting made at Southampton was de-
fectlve. The accident occurred yesterday,
Just as We were inside the Needles. and In
hve fathoms of water. The board gave the
Vigilant several very hard bumps as we
dragged it along for some distance and
then suddenly 1t broke entirely of
AS to the cause of the accident, do not
believe that we struck a rock or anything
else. and the pilot was in no way to blame
After our arrival here we made I'D our
minds to race, centerboard or no CENTER
board. SO lorg as We We're allowed TO ship
extra ballast enough to make up for the
loss of the centerboard. We had shipped
an extra crew, and were going to do our
best to recapture the Cape May cup. We
informed the Prince of Wales of our pur-
pose, but an hour ago 1 received this note
from the committee, informing US that
under the circumstances the Prince of
Wales would consider the challenge with
drawn. Accordingly, i have written to the
committee formally withdrawing the chal-
lenge.
''Of course. IL We had insisted the Britain
MIA would have raced. but felt we had no
right TO jeopardize the cup in this way
We could hardly have hoped to do ourselves
justice without any centerboard, and had
the Britannia won, as she probably would,
Americas chances of seeing the cup again
would have been small, as Britannia would
only have to win it once more in order to
become its possessor.
There seems to be a fatality about our
centerboard over here, and i don't wonder
that the English don't like them; don't
like them myself now. Centerboards are
certainly the last things one wants on most
of these courses The pilots here can never
realize how much we draw with them and
there is constant danger from that source"
Vigtlant will be laid up Immediately, and
her crew will be shipped home so soon as
she is dismantled, and this will probably
be within a week.
1t is pleasant to record the feeling and
comment at the Royal Yacht Squadron
castle as being totally different from that
expressed on the occasion of the former
accident to the American yacht. The
utmost sympathy is now expressed for the
Messrs. Gould. and for the splendid racing
yacht which they own.

CAN'T ENFORCE THE LAW,
Secretary Carlisle ind a Declaration
From the Wholesale Druggists.


From the Wholesale Druggists.
Secretary Carlisle practically admits that
he is unable to properly execute the pro-
visions Of the new tariff exempting from
taxation alcohol used In the arts, for the
reason that Congress failed altogether to
provide the necessary means for such ex-
ecution. and therefore that 1t may be neces-
sary to postpone action in the matter alto
gether until Congress shall have an op-
portunity to provide a remedy. This i'm
portant admission was publicly made yes
terday afternoon to a committee represent
ing the National Wholesale Druggists AS
scciation, who had called to confer with
Secretary Carlisle and Mr.. Miller, commits
sioner of the internal revenue, in regard to
the free alcohol section of the tariff BILL
Mr.. G. A. Kelly of Pittsburg, who led the
delegation, stated that the association and
he believed the druggists generally through
out the country, were in favor of free
alcohol for the arts and in legitimate medi-
cinal preparations. They had, however but
little time to either examine the bill or to
discuss its features among themselves.
Nevertheless, he believed that a great ma
jority Of the large users of alcohol in medi-
cines were opposed to any bill that would
leave the door open to fraud upon the
government revenues, and that they would
rather the law should fail than that this
the dilemma in which he and Commissioner
Miller found themselves. The law was a
mere skeleton, without money or machin-
cry to put 1t into operation. nor could the
department employ agents to be paid by
the manufacturers themselves-the statutes
expressly prohibiting 1t. Altogether he
could not see how 1t was possible to enforce
the law without proper supervision, and
the lack of this would undoubtedly lead to
unlimited fraud. Then, again. 1t was a
very perplexing and difficult thing, the Sec
rotary said, to determine just what con-
struction should be put upon the words
the arts" medicinal preparations and
other like compounds" There were likely
to be very great differences of opinion on
this subject. He, however, would be glad
of any aid the wholesale druggists or any
one else could give him.
MIR. Carlisle's explanation, most of the
members of the delegation thought, render
ed any further talk unnecessary. They
were frank to admit that they saw no way
out of the difficulty. except to let the mat
yer go over until the next session Of Con-
gress At the unanimous request Of the
delegation the Secretary agreed to hold the
matter open for a few days to enable the
