anent a successor TO Chief Consul Pot

1t is generally believed in this section
that Mr.. Simms would make a model
chief consul and the same is also said
of Walter Jenkins of Buffalo, who has
labored long and faithfully for the in
terests of the league and State division
When Mr.. Potter first announced his in
tention 10 retire at the expiration OF his
present term, Mr.. Jenkins name was
mentioned in connection with the place,
and il was conceded that the Buffalo
man would be the successor of Mr.. Pot
ter. On the ground that the northwest
ern part of the State has not been fav-
ored In the matter OF important office
for a long time. the nominating commit
tee OF the division may name Mr.. Jen-
kns. otherwise the candidacy OF Mr..
Simqns may be given due consideration.
There Is plenty OF time for this, how

The Grays broke even with the Toron'
tos in the double bill at Adelaide fark
Yesterday afternoon and n big crowd
turned out TO see the sport Both Were
hard fought contests. with lots OF goou
playing on both sides. The first one went
against the Grays, with Braun pitching
for Providence and Dineen doing the hon
ors for the visitors The Torontos had
the benefit of whatever turned on luck
in that game. The score was close up
TO the seventh inning and until smith
home run drive struck the top OF the left
field fence and bounded outside in the
seventh inning, II was what the bleacher-
ties would term "hoss and hoss.' al
though the Torontos had shade the best
of dt ON runs, as II stood after the second
inning.
Rudderham pitched the second game
for Providence and he did magnificent
piece of work. He held the Torontoes
down TO one clean hit and two scratches,
and did not permit them To have run.
He did not accomplish il by giving hases
on balls. The only real clean hit was
one sent on a line 10 short right centre
field. lust over the heads of the infielders.
Only once in the game did the Iorontos
send a man es far as third base.
Gingery base running and plucky work
on the part of Coogan cut quite figure
in scoring the runs made by the Grays.
It was not until the sixth inning that the
first run was scored. Then the ice was
broken by Lyons. who made hit. stole
second. and scored from that base when
Wagner made high throw from
knights grounder. Coogan made the
other two runs. In the seventh he sent
ont A hit and went to third base on Bas-
sett's single, which Taylor tried 10 ham

Coogan put for the plate. in the line Of

McCafferty was the easiest kind OF q
thing for the home team Wednesday,
and in five innings the Whalers hit him
so hard that they got runs enough to
win the game.
Gallagher was sent in after the fifth

visitors could not do much with Sc
christ, who replaced Johnson I'm the first
and the home team won quite easily.
The Maroons got a grand start in the
opening inning and had McCafferty
pitched I'm any kind OF shape the game
would have gone to the Pawtuckets

hill fight which was too hard for them.
In the first inning Johnson was very
wild and soon the bases were filed. The
situation began to look serious for the
home team and so Sechrist was sent in
TO do the twirling and the Maroons
could not get the lead. The score:

wood Is Made Ftreproot.

London News: Saturday, at Hurting
ham, the British Nonhammable Wood
company gave an exhibition designed to
demonstrate the security against fire of
buildings constructed OF timber treated
by their process. The test was conducted
on much the same lines as the trial which
took place at Millbank in May before the
officials of her majesty's Office of works,
and which was witnessed by the prince
of Wales. For the purpose OF the exper-
ilnent two building, about eleven feet
square and thirty in height, had been set
up near the ornamental water. They
were similar in all respects. except that
one was made of treated" timber and
the other of ordinary timber. Each was
furnished with chimney for the purpose
of creating a strong ursught and iacillat.
ing combustion. Outside the little houses
on the windward side, was piled firewood
and shavings which were set on fire
simultaneously. In five minutes the
building of ordinary timber was well
alight, and in about half an hour il had
been reduced to ashes. But the other
structure remained intact, save for the
charring of the woodwork on the side ex
posed to the direct action OF the flames.
A further test had meanwhile been APP
piled by ignting APPLE OF shavings and
faggots inside, but again the effect was
merely to char the wood, which did not
break into flame. Indeed, box made
oil the treated" wood, which had been
placed in the midst OF the ignited fire.

cally uninjured, and the souvenirs Of
the occasion which it contained were
distributed to the spectators.

him to consciousness and life. This is
not the only case Of the kind Not long
ago wealthy French gentleman was
found dead in the compartment Of a rail
road car on the arrival OF the train at
Paris from Nice. The inquest and au
topsy revealed that the traveller had not
met with foul play, but had been straugled
by a standing collar. At a point very
near the Adams apple there is spot
which IL is very dangerous to compress.
When this is done respiration stops sud.

To put the matter into condensed form,

Municipal ownership is. therefore, no
new or over-radical thing. 1t is neither
socialistic, communistic nor populstic.
1t is feasible and practicable. It must
be at least reasonably successful, and it
cannot be attended with any greater po-
litical evils than the no more universal
municipal ownership of docks, ferries,
bridges markets and the water supply.
So much the experience of these other
cities indicates to us.
