HOW 1T HAPPENED

The technique of the game would be
tedious if it was given in detail. Mutum
in parvo, or in plain United States the III

finish and, to paraphrase Col. Henri Wat
terson's famous expression, from the hot
region TO the matin meal.

sELBACH DID TIE BATTING

The remainder Of the Senators total OF
five came in blocks of one, which were
gathered in the fourth, fifth, and seventh
innings.
Selbach led the Statesmen in batting. with
two three -baggers. He was closely fol-
lowed by Tom Brown with double and
single, and Ed Cartwright was next on dit
with Il pair of as pretty base hits as ever
cut the grass of an outiield.

APPLAUSE FOR DUMMY

Dummy received a great deal of applause
from his former constituents, but so welded
is he to Cincinnati that he acted as if he
didn't hear the hosannas at all. The run
column shows that Dummy Is completely
estranged from any sympathetic feeling
for Washington.

From the London Spectator
The wars of the Constantinople street
dogs are eminently satisfactory from
the point Of view of the inquirer into
animal politics. Theoretically they are
are complete examples OF what the ra-
tional warfare of animals ought to be,
but usually is not. 1t has for its OBJ
iect either defense or conquest of terri
tory, not the mere plundering instinct
or that primitive desire for making
meat dinner off an enemy which occa-
sionally suggests an attack on weaker
neighbors or the cannibals of the Con-
go. This civilized and rational warfare
of the Constantinople dogs Is due to
their territorial instinct. Certain
streets and quarters belong to the par
ticular dog communities, which again
subdlvide their territory among indivi-
duals. In some streets each heap OF
refuse, on TO which the common rub
bish Of a group Of houses is thrown,
belongs to one dog, who lies on II,

on IL as a home.

have this fact In mind. But he is a
brave poet. as well as a clever one
nevertheless.
The following incident happned not
long ago in one OF the big new office
buildings on lower Fifth avenue, New
York city. The elevator Is managed
by a mild-tempered negro, who carries
his responsibilities with the ianguidly
tolerant air OF one who feels that he
has never received his just due in this
world, but who has long recognized
the futility of appeal. on this occa-
sion he was confronted by a typical
book canvasser VINO was trying TO sell
him a work on mechanical engineer
ing.
This book IS made up specially for
the engineers of public buildings"
urged the canvasser. 1T is just what
you want In your business here"

drawled the darkey. TITS ticks all NAH

but this book will help you TO run

vasser.
"Don't want no help 20 run dis ele-
vator," said the darkey. "Dis elevator
runs all right now"
Just then the indicator rang and the
darkey stepped inside the car
The canvasser made a last appeal.

quickly, you ought TO buy copy OF

replied the spokesman, and the nickel
was tossed. and the tourist at once
perceived two things. first, what scrtm-

of a southern darby seem to be the
raggedest rags In creation.
After the struggle for the possession
of the nickel was over one of the

those who Have Gone Gold-Seeking Are
Now stranded aud Destitute.
From the San Francisco Call.
The warning OF an old resident OF Alas
ka to all who may be tempted to seek
their fortunes in the gold fields of that
region should be needed. lie declares that
nearly half OF the men there now are
destitute and unable to secure employ
ment. All the established mines accessi-
BILE from the coast are fully stocked with
miners and prospecting and developing
are all that is left. As for employment in
other vocations, there is none to be had.
There is no doubt thar much truth eN-
lists I'm the accounts of rich discoveries
that have been made there. but the hard
ships which accompany the industry are
too severe for any except those sufii-
GENTLY equipped. Provisions are necessar-
lily very dear. and no work of any kind
is possible during the greater part of the
year. The mines which have secured rich
returns are owned by wealthy corpora
lions, enjoying every facility which poor
man is denied.
The recent reduction I'm steamer rates to
Alaska, coupled with the fabulous stories
OF rich discoveries. has resulted I'm crowd
ing the boats engaged on the run. Hun
dreds with barely sufficient to pay their
passage are going north. They do not re-
alize that the conditions are wholly diff
ltftul from itlOSt III IltN iAAhluk camps
elsewhere. The extreme cold imposes linn
itarions which prohibit an ordinary min
ing boom. An evidence OF the severity OF
the cold is shown in the fact that in pan
washing for gold the quicksilver will not
act as IL does in a milder climate. but
permits all the float gold TO escape, re-
tanning none but coarse gold.
Alaska has great possibilities for
wealthy investors. but not for men who
depend on their daily labor or who want
TO take the chances OF making n valuable
discovery in prospecting. Ii is one thing
TO find rich deposit in thai remote and
difhcult region and another TO obtain a
purchaser. AS for depending on what may
be secured by pan washing in the gla-
cial moraines. considering the short sea-
son during which that may be done. II

no one dare penetrate unless he be amply
provided with money and provisions.
