the evening was music rendered by the 'humanaphone." It is musical contrivance and the history of the unique instrument which, although new here, antedated the deluge. To understand it a person would have to see it. Tn only trouble some of the notes had the suspicious sound of a litter when touched by the rod of the operator. It was an immense success and completed the evenings exercises.

AN ABLE OFFICER.
Work of Grand Secretary Boyd O. Denver.

Tombstone Prospector: w. T. Boyd, who is visiting our city, is a bright and shining light" in the workings of fraternal orders.
 Away back in the sos when this portion of the fraternal vineyard was struggling under the supreme juris- diction of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, with a membership not to exceed 700, W. T. Boyd conceived the idea of forming a grand jurisdiction out of the territories of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, and it required a membership of 2,000 to secure a char ter. It was a herculean undertaking, many obstacles being in the way, the greatest of which was the efforts which were being exerted by Texas to obtain the same coveted prize of par tial independence. MT. Boyd, with the assist ance of other able workers, began, and at the next meeting of the supreme lodge the 1000 members had been obtained, i5he grand jurisdiction of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona was formed and Texas was still re- tained as part of the supreme juris- distion.
 Since that time the order in the ter ritory named has sustained a steady increase, new lodges being instituted at regular intervals, until the numbers run up to many thousands. MT. Boyd will meet the Tombstone lodge tonight and a regular old-fashioned love feast is anticipated.

The opera bouffe game of baseball took place Sunday afternoon. There was large crowd present. The grand stand was full.
 Heralded by the iblaring notes of the Phoenix brass band, the knights of the pen boarded the street cars at the corner of First avenue at 1:30 p. m. They were joined at First street by the Carnival committee nine and the arch enemies rode together to the base ball grounds.

 The carnivals went to bat first and made but nine runs off Mills pitching before they were put out. The news papers tied the score in their half. In the second inning Mills fared badly. The carnival cavaliers got onto his curves and knocked out eighteen runs. But score of 27 to did not daunt the knights, for at the end of the fourth inning when the game was called the score was only 34 to 30 against them.
 McClintock of the newspapers, and Pratt of the carnivals, were both caught in an attempt to steal the ball One secreted it in the bosom of his shirt, and the other under his stom- ach protector The carnivals claim NHdC uhe ecoIe WouIu nave Deeu dt un5 rate of two to one if Dunbar had not cut Pierce Evans apron strings and thereby hobbling him at a critical point in the game But it is base islander, as it is well known that the strings were not long enough in the first place and could not be properly tied.

DUNRAvEN'S CHARGE.

The charge which Lord Dunraven
brings against the New York Yacht
Club, in connection with the late inter.
ter, and one that has naturally caused
q storm of indignation among the mem
bers OF the club, as well as among those
who are at all familiar with the his
tory of the race. The sum and sub
stance of the charge Is that the man
agcrs of the Defender cheated to VIII
that they caused the water line of the
American boat to be changed after she
had been officially measured, and that
the work was, done after dark. OF
course no one who knows the high
character of the parties believe for n
moment that anything ot the kind was
done, but It Is well that Mr.. Isclin has
promptly asked for an investigation
that the falsity of Lord Dunravcn':;
charge may be stamped, rs they de-
serve to be. Lord Dunraven's abr,ipt
withdrawal from the races was. OF H.
self, great surprise and upon the
whole. regretted, but no one dreamed
that he believed that he had been
treated otherwise than in the fairest
manner. and the least of all were they
prepared for such charge as is pub
lished in the London Field. and which
has been cabled to this country If
Lord Dunraven knew what he now al
leges TO be true. 1t is difficult to under
stand why he did not make the charge
at the time OF his withdrawal from the
race. Then It would not have been so
hard to either prove or have disap-
proved the charge by direct testimony,
but he, at this late day, willfully makes
charge. which. at the most, can only
be met by cIrcumstantial evidence. and
the high character of the gent. men
whom he nssails, either OF which is .;uf
iicient to rcfutc It,
Lord Dunravcn has made charge
which he cannot defend, and one which
will recoil upon him.

THE TEXAS DAMAGED.

Sb Our telcgraphic5 columns gives the In
$teliigcncc of serious damage to the bat
t.e-ship Texas In docking her ut the
Brooklyn Navy-yard. II remains to be
seen what the New York papers have
ia say TO this. 1t will be interesting
when 1t is considered how much they
had to say that was untrue as to the
horbor of Norfolk ana the facilities OF
the navy-yard mt this lpoint. They
charged that the Texas had to be sent
to New York for the reason that there
was IN insufficient depth OF water III our
harbor to risk sending her to the dock
ut this yard, when the truth was that
she was sent 10 the Brooklyn yard be-
cause of the bclieffthat she could be
locked at that point with safety
The result was that in arriving at New
York 1t was discovered that she would
have to remain in harbor until the COM
ing of q spring tide to carry her safely
to the dock. The lookcd-for spring tide
occurred and the result is serious dam,
age to the great ship.
Naval Constructor BowIcs has beer
called upon 10 make q detailed report
of the matter He will give the facts,
and If these facts demonstrate in,mc-
diate action en- the part OF the Govern
ment for the construction of suitable
docks for the needs of the great modern
battlc-ships that the country Is building.
then, indeed, will this accident to the
Texas be a fortunate occurrance.
