With glory by striking out, and then
Borland, the fleet left fielder, came up
and swatted out safe one into Jay
Hughes territory, and Stanley and Nc
lntire crossed the plate, leaving Riley
on the border of the promised land
Then Nealon, the man who brushed
flies in the right pasture, sent a beauty
out to Shanahan, who wept bitter tears
when he dropped it, and Riley got
across the border onto the home plate.
Next Farrell dropped an easy one, and
each runner moved up a peg. Mcclure
waited until the balls passed by and
then walked to first, and again the
bases We're full. Farrell let another ball
pass end Borland scored. Lange fam
ned out and Van Haltren ended the
agony by flying out to Shanahan, and
the score stood Z to s.
Again in the eighth inning the Re-
lance men added to the injury they
had already inflicted, and they did it
this way:
Neaion opened up matters by flying
out To Jay Hughes and Mcclure kept
up mis- reputation by striking three
Tunes without connecting with much of
anything. Lange sent one to Loch-
mead and took first on the latter's
tumble Then Farrell dropped another
one, and Lange sprinted to second. Van
Haltren popped up a beauty, which
Henesy got under and dropped. All
thls time Lange,, who was playing the
game was sprinting towards the plate
from second, and Henesy, after he
hao retrieved the ball, made a number
OF efforts to catch Van Haltren, who
was playing for Lange's tally. at sec
ond, and when the crowd at length cot
oack 70 its normal. Lange had set his
mark on the home plate, and the game
was over.

THE ENDS IN SIGHT.
Must Knock 'Em Out To-Day to
Wind UP Matters.

In our desire to close out several of
our most expensive Kimball and
Fischer pianos we have agreed to sell
for several of our customers their old
pianos. These instruments have all
been carefully tuned and regulated.
Three of them are in the very best con-
dition. almost equal to new. Coming
as they do from the homes of Sacra-
mento's best citizens, these pianos have
enjoyed the best of care, and we I'M
hesitatingly say that there are no bet
ter square pianos of any make in this
city than these Steinways and Chick
ering. They are the bargains of bar
gains. and will be sold on payment of
SO down and So month
A very fine Chickering, taken toward
payment of a new Kimball upright,
can be had for Sis; $27 more money
will secure the finest, nearly new Stein
way. Neither one of these instruments
could be bought anywhere in the United
States for less than double that money.
Have also on hand an old, good toned
square piano that would ordinarily re-
tail for $40 to $50. Take it on your
own terms now for S3S. A very good
| 'Feun1ch" upright for 800. (This will
not be for sale until Monday afternoon.)
Have also a New England upright as
good as new. Also a Mathushek upright
in fair condition. Also several organs,
one nearly new Chicago cottage for $50
(cost last Christmas $500.
Any of these Instruments will be ac-
companied by our agreement to take
them back at these figures toward pay
ment of any new Kimball, Fischer. or
Knabe piano What's the use of rent
ing a piano when you may thus use
these for nothing.
Our sale is virtually closed. We have
however a few choice instruments left
for safe, and you can obtain here to-
day While the stock holds out a better
and in every way superior brand new
piano for $16S than any dealer in the
State can sell you for 1915 and we will
turn you over a finer fancy cased cab
met grand upright for S31S than you
can get elsewhere for $500.
Make a nominal deposit on any un-
sold instrument here, and we will hold
1t till you can make full first payment.
Ten dollars a month will get a fine,
new upright piano at wholesale cost
now. You'll never be able to do this
again. Store open tonight. Kohler &
Chase Music House, 721 K street.

The Matchoorian has always been
aware that there We're large deposits of

agine that they We're under the control
of evil spirits, and he therefore would
not touch them himself nor allow any
one else to. A good deal of that old
nonsense has been prayed out of him by
recent events-the war and the practi-
cal enterprise of the Russians in his ter
ritory-and the fields are now being
opened. They are abundant and are
found all over the country and will have
the most important influence III its de-
vclopment. The climate, soil and geo.

favorable to the maintenance of large,

the root of which, i'll many races inter
blended through many ages is already
there. With Russian railroad running
through the country and Port Arthur
as the outlet and inlet of its commerce,
new chapter of its history will be
opened, and the humdrum career which
it has pursued since the days of Kublai

If you desire to know about the scar
city of really reliable data on the histo-
ry of spoons, take down your handbooks
and encyclopedias and see if it doesn't
take you long while to learn anything
concerning their origin, nativity, !"
etc. In fact, the antiquarians do not
pretend to give us anything Of value in
that line. 1t is admitted that they are
Every ancient" but just exactly how
old they are and by whom and where
they were first used are points upon
which we are left completely in the
dark. Creighton says, ''Spoons must

UNCLE SANS AUCTION SALE.

the Dead Letter Office.
One of the queerest institutions"
of the national capital is the annual
clearance sale of the dead letter office,
i'll which Il vast accumulation of articles
gone astray in the mails is sold to the
highest bidders. The auction house
where it is held is continually crowded
with excited men, women and children,
and beside it the bargain counters dur
ing the holidays are as havens of rest,
for when Uncle Sam goes into the junk
shop business great things are expect
ed. As i'll the church fair rattle, you
pay q small amount Of money and trust
to luck to got back moro than its value.
The articles, previously listed III Il
wholesale sort of way, are tied up i'll
bundles of from three to IL half dozen
and 'auctioncd" for what they will
bring the average bids ranging between
10 cents and dollar.
Nobody is permitted to examine the
goods before purchasing, and no money
is refunded TO the dissatisfied. Every
body hopes to pull Il genuine plum from
the pie i'll the shape of a diamond ring,
silk dress pattern or silver teapot,
and although comparative blanks are
the rule, there is always the possibility
of Il prize. For example, the auctioneer
holds up one of these odd shaped bun

sic, cigars. Going-going-gon

is positively narrowing. More than 10
bushels of photographs have accumu-

to stuff dozen mattresses, grandmoth-

many no doubt cut from dead brows,
and small sums of money which poor
workmen send home to feed their wives
and little Ones and servant girls save
from their scanty wages for needy par

not because the United States wants it,
but because the senders' writing or Or

hard to realize that in this land of
schools, at the close of the nineteenth
century, there are so many people so
ignorant or so careless as to send several
millions of letters Il year without stamps
