They tell a story down on the street con-
Meeting Charles T.. Yerkes, the Chicago
street-car magnate, in a curiously indirect
yet VITA way. with the explosion OF the
mond Match and Biscuit. 1t is to this eff
feet:
When the financial stringency began to
be seriously felt the Chicago banks con-
cluded to call loans from Mr.. Yerkes. who
had a large sum-. said to be about 100000.
borrowed from them. They did not doubt
his solvency, but they could not help think
ing of the 100000 cash he had invested
the last eighteen months. the SO, 900. 900 he
had put into a palace on Fifth avenue, New
York and the $1,000, 600 additional in tele-
scopes, paintings and other affairs. His
surface-road properties had declined in
selling value and the banks prudently de-
cided to reduce their risk in that quarter.
Imagine their surprise when Mr.. Yerkes
not only objected to reducing his loan. but
asked for SO, 900. 900 more.

When the bankers ventured to inquire

S., 900. 900 registered 4 per cent. governments,
worth $9,O0O.000. and told his financial
friends to put the bunuie in at 50 as se-
curity for his new loan and further fortih-
cation of his old loans.
For q man who was suspected of getting
thin, this was esteemed q fairly substantial
.fiash'-something on the order of jay
Gould's invitation to have a mi of
bankers to look through SO. 900, 900 worth of
quick assets in his st%rongbox, when the
street" had him broke"
Mr.. Yerkes is to-day the largest indi-
vidual holder of government bonds in the
world, 1t is said.
In the course of his conversation which
led up to- the bond demonstration, Mr..
1erkes is said to have casually mentioned
mat, as banks were drawing in their OUT
standing money, he guessed he would cau
the Moore Brothers for 81. 900. 900 he had
let them have on Diamond Match at 100.
rms was a transaction the banks did not
know about, nor of the $500, 600 which he
sald ne had heard they had borrowed from
columbus r. Cummings, and another $780,
OO from Sidney A. Kent. These disclosures
are what made the banks close down on
the Moores so sharply. the previous inten-
ton being not to crowd them at once.
When Mr.. Yerkes's lines crossed the lines
or the Moores, the latter were the ones to

Central Park in New York. He also en-
ployed Captain Eads. of Louisiana jetty
and ship railway fame, in that connection.
He was never satisfied, though. with the
experiments, for the reason that they did
not prove sufficient to justify him in hav-
ing a flying machine constructed.
During the latter years of his life he
was so much engaged with other matters
that he did not give the subject much of
his personal attention, but he always took
in furnishing money to others who
desired to make experiments in that di-
rection. One OF his theories was that solar
heat might be used in the propulsion of a
flying machine, but he was never able to
satisfy himself how it could be done. His
main desire. however, was that the ma
chine should fly low, and he preferred that
the experiments should be made over a
river or lake, rather than that the ma
chine should be flown from the top of a
mountain or other high places. He had no
arrangements of any kind

An exchange says the Boston manage

Gam. He Is a fair batter, but cannot play
the base as well as the average minor
Lacquer.
Pop McCauley is not doing a thing to

wish they were back in the tin-pan leagues
from which they sprung.
The Minneapolis papers early in the sea-
son roasted Jack Pickett severely. That
was when he was in the St. Paul team.
Now that he has taken Connors place at
second and become d fuli-fledged Miller
they think he is all right. Connor's injured
knee will keep him out OF the game prob
ably ten days.
Lack of team work is said to be the
cause of the poor showing made by the
was loud in his declarations that he had
worked three years in perfecting a team
that would cut quite a swath in the PEN
nant aspirations of other teams this sea-
ers? Is ii possible that the mere fact of
the manager dropping out of the game
caused the terrible slump?
Minneapolis turned out 400 people at
yesterdays game. St. Paul $500, Milwaukee
1000 and Kansas City 1000. Strange how
such big crowds. while first and second
place towns send out mere handfuls. Kan
sas City turned out q better crowd every
day last week than Sundays crowd at Min
kosh and Duluth supplanting Kansas City

have to guess again. 1t is only about 2,4oO
