Starving TO Death,

Middlesboro, Ky, July 80. -Liona
Collinsworth, of Powell Station, Tenn,
is reported to be at the point of death
from starvation. Her case is a remark
able one from the fact that she has not
tasted food in any form for more than
thirty days. She was separated from
her husband about year ago,
but has anxiously awaited his return.
His failure to put in appearance has so
preyed npon her mind that she refuses
to be consoled, and spends her time in
constant prayer and supplication to the
Lord. Efforts to force her to eat have
been met with strenuous resistance.

After the second inning of the final
struggle between the Twin City Tigers
and the Alamo Bronchos at San Ped
70 park yesterday afternoon there
We're eight hits and five runs register
ed for Mike O'Connor's men. The
visitors in that time had secured but
one hit off George Gilpatrick Indica-
tiOns were that it would be an easy
game for the Bronchos, but baseball
indications are very uncertain, as will
be seen by the hereinafter statement
of facts. The BronchOs had no diff
Guilty in gauging George Bristow's
curves in those two innings, but George
was not yet giving them the best he
had, and after he got down to business
it didn't require an X ray to discover
that the game was not so easy as at
first suspected. The Tigers gave him
good support, and after the fifth in
ming with a score to 0 for San Anto-
Mo, when Pierce Chiles dropped a ball
over the left field fence with a man
on the bases. the situation became
somewhat alarming. The Bronchos
had ceased scoring and their basehits
were wide and scattered. The Tigers
were beginning to find Gil and in the
seventh laced out three safeties for
as many runs. A wavering of upcer-
tainty prevailed among the spectators,
for another run would tie the score,
and the Tigers were hitting hard and
often. They meant to win the game.
They were on the coaching lines and
urged their men to play the game"
But the Bronchos were playing ball a
little themselves about that time, and
so the game ended with a score of
to for San Antonio.

FUNNY MOUSE TRAP.
Clever Girl Catches Seven Rodents in
Sewing Machine.

SiGNeE ShtcneS seven hOdentS In
aSewinS Machine.
This is story of how u sewing ma
chine became a mouse trap. Miss
Boucher, of Federal street, below
Seventh, is particularly fond of cake,
and has got into the habit of eating
it while running her sewing machine.
Every night she would leave some under
the lid. For the past few mornings
she has been missing much of her cake,
and naturally blamed her little brother
for taking it. Her brother, however,
always resented the charge and de-
clared his innocence. The other night
Miss Boucher left quite large quanti-
ty of cake on the machine and concealed
herself to watch the thief. When every
thing was quiet she heard a scratching
noise and then saw 4 very small mouse
climbing up the strap of the machine,
which connects the lower wheel with
the upper one. The first mouse had
hardly disappeared through the small
hole through which the strap is run
when another appeared and followed
its predecessor. This performance was
repeated six times by as many mice.
Miss Boucher hastily plugged up the
hole through which the little thieves
had entered, and with the assistance of
her brother carried the machine into
the kitchen. Five cats were quickly OBJ
tanned from willing neighbors and the
lid was lifted. Only one mouse escaped.

is the explanation of this curious effect,
You all know that there is something
called oxygen in the air. Fire changes
this oxygen into carbonic acid gas,
which does not take up nearly as much
space as does the oxygen, so, if there is
10 opening through which more air can
get into the tumbler, there is left a
vacuum. Now, nature abhors a
