Pittsburg, May The Pirates turn.
ed the tables today by batting King hard
in two innings The distribution of base
hits was peculiar, for, after making three
the Pirates shut down completely until
the fifth inning, when four more hits
we're chalked up.
Not another one was made during the
game King seemed to have good speed
and his control was fair, while German,
who took his place in the sixth inning
and escaped without scratch, simply
tossed the ball over the plate. His slow
ball worried the Pirates
The weather man, who has been Un-
kind for many days, served up an article
exactly to Pink Hawley's liking cold
wind from the West not only dried the
grounds, but kept the big pitcher cool,
and enabled him to let out his speed
This, with fast fielding, prevented the
Senators from getting hit until the
fourth inning, when selbach singled and
stole second, where he was left.
Reilly doubled in the fifth, but d further
boosting of batting averages was deferred
until the seventh, when O. Brien let a
pitched bail hit him. Cartwright sin gled
to center, anu by fast running, O'Brien
reached third, and soon afterwaTd scored
the Senator's first and only run on q
force out at second.
The Wasningtons were encouraged by the
line hits of DeMontreville and O'Brien in
the ninth, but Farrell, Cartwright aud
Abbey we're not equal TO the emergency
and the runners died on bases.

Americans and Their Money.

A late issue of the Farmers Union has an
editorial upon Coffee and its effects on
health and public interests. The paper
strongly urges upon the notice of It's
readers the fact that A meriea Is drained
OF millions OF dollars annually to send to
foreign countries for product that is s;ne
of the prime causes of the Increase in
nervous diseases in America today Gnd
states that a wel-informed physician on
stomach and nerve ailments has, after a
years experiment, produced delicious
beverage from American cereals, WHEAT,
etc, which has the exact color of nigh
grade Java coffee and turns TO the rich
golden brown of Mocha when cream is
added.
1t is said to he less acrid nd bitter than
the lower grades OF coffee. but has much
the mellow piquancy of the more expeusi 'e
grades of Java "a nd the Arabian berry.
This grain beverage never produces the
unpleasant effect on heart or stomach nd

with imported coffee, and while it looks
and tastes like coffee, the originator ex-
presses the wish that it be known Is

yesterday afternoon, the mutes winning by
the score of 8 to 8.
The Gallaudets pla yedin pretty form, and
gave their pitcher excellent support, both

especially in the third inning, when the
mutes punched hits and scored seven runs.
A feature OF the game was Bumgardner's s
long running catch of 4. foul, over the
left foul line. He also made two clean
two-baggers. For the home boys, Proctor
drove out home run, and Cummings
made a pretty catch OF fly that looked

Little Delaware.


Delaware was the first state admitted
TO the Union and Is the one to which
Randolph of Roanoke referred con-
temptuously as having two counties ct
high tide and three ut low tide. Il is
still governed by antiquated' colonial
machinery. The senate Of its Legislature
consists Of nine members only. Della
ware is one Of the states which has no
lieutenant governor. and therefore from
out Of these nine members one is chosen
as presiding officer. and the other eight
are the lawmaking body. The state is
divided into three oounties-New Castle.
which includes the city Of Wilmington;
Kent, which includes the capital city Of
Dover, and Sussex, the rustic SOUTH
ern county.
New Castle has several thousand more
voters than Kent and Sussex combined,
but the basis Of representation in the
Dover senate Is the same for oil three
three members from each county, and
ON any public question. therefore, in the
senate, q minority Of the people can by
o two-thirds majority outvote the ma
jority. The city Of Wilmington casts
about one-third Of tho totakvote Of the
state, but 1t has only one representative
in the senate. The house Of representa-
tives consists Of 81 members chosen
without reference to population, 2

coast not long ago. Captain LIE Cato was

William Cooley, at work retaining the
cargo Of the ship Frances, which sunk

This cargo consisted Of pig lead in hrge
quantities, wine and whale oil in casks,
fish on in baprels, canned fruits and salm-
on and handsome marble soda fountains.
The bold Of the vessel was divided into
three decks, and already the upper deck
had been relieved Of all cargo. It was ID
the middle deck that an affair happened
which gave Captain LIE Cato the most
thrilling experience which has ever befallen

There were two divers at work in the

imprisoned cargo. Every day it was Cap

hold and inspect their work to descend into

his armor as usual and stepped into the

GRAY SQUIRRELS.

How They Hide Their Scattered Stores
For the Winter.
Gray squirrels are winter neighbors,
but very shy ones I have tried to coax
them to come into the yard for walnuts
by leaving ont a supply under the trees
there and gathering all from other trees,
but they we've too well supplied with
nuts in the wood. I did succeed IN GAIN
ing their confidence through pair Of
tame squirrels that had been raised in
q cage by . neighbor. I induced the
nefghbor to set them free, and, apparent
~ to reward me, they took up their
abode in the tall cottonwoods and pop
lars about the lawn, but more likely be-
cause the neighbor had no large trees.
While they remained an occasional wild
squirrel would call or spend the day in
the great trees with my tame ones But
the villainous pot hunter and his worth
less cur destroyed my pets and drove the
visitors back to their wild state.
The gray squirrel is not as provident
as the little ground squirrel, who tolls
through the long days Of summer and
fall to provide himself home and lay
up a store for winter use. What little
the gray squirrel does lay by for q rainy
day is not stored in his den, but scatter
ed here and there about the woods, like
the prudent housewife afraid to put all
the eggs in one basket.
I learned from my tame squirrels
their method Of hiding nuts Tho nut is
carried in the mouth. and some time
and thought are given to the selection
OF likely place to hide 1t. When the
spot is finally decided upon, hole the
size of the nut is dug in the ground, the
nut thrust in and pushed down hard
with the nose, little earth pressed and
patted down, and leaves or grass tossed
about In the most natural way. After
o snowfall their tracks will be found In
every direction, from the den trees to
all parts Of the wood. Following these
trails, one will find many little holes
in the snow where hidden nuts have
been Ding up. H. Kennedy in Har-
per's Magazine.
