An important match was decided last
night between the Doolittle and Van Ber-
gen teams in the Jersey City League on
Henn's alleys, which win undoubtedly
settle on the winner ,pf the second prize.
The Doolittles were One game ahead for
the honor, but two victories by the Van
Bergens last evenings would have changed
things around and tI;e Vans would have
been in second position Doolittle has
developed surprising strength in the
games this year and have bowled some
high scores. In h work last evening
they hustled for every pin and their
steadiness carried them to success after
losing. the first game, and they will re-
tain their position so well defended. Van
Bergen had the advantage of home alleys,
which should have aided them greatly,
but IL had no effect In the second match

Tbe Importance of the Alderman at
Large.

$50
In concentrating their strength upon
Mr.. Hoos for Mayor, the voters must
not forget the great necessity of electing
Mr.. Midlige President of the Board of
the city, sickness or death of the Mayor,
the President of the Board of Aldermen
becomes his locum tenens or his success
or. Without any disrespect to Mr..
Klink, it may be said that he is hardly
the man whom the taxpayers would de-
liberately select to be chief magistrate
of the city. 1t is not on account of any
personal unfitness on the part of Mr..
Klink. but ON account of his age and
lack of experience. Mr.. Klinki is a young
man OF high personal character and
good ability. We do not wish to detract
in any way from his honorable record in
this years Assembly. He was well
adapted for hat place. He did his
work well.
But 1t is at once his advantage and his
misfortune that he is very young. Youth
is an advantage in the Assembly; but it
is a great drawback in the Mayors chair,
and 1t is so serious a one that no voter
in his senses would think of voting to
place a person in that high position who
had hardly cut his wisdom teeth.
But it is not merely the contingency of
his having to serve as Mayor that should
influence the public mind. There is an
other thing to consider. The President
of the Board of Aldermen is ex-oficio a
member of the Board of Finance. He is
the member whofdetermines the political
complexion of that Board. He is the
man whose vote will decide whether or
not it will be in accord with Mayor Hoos.
Then both on the score of experience
and of general policy it is incumbent on
the voters to support Mr.. William F..
Midlige, SO that a man of some G
experience and standing may fill this i'm
portant place. and In order that the
Board may. be made Democratic in com
p1exaon, and paced IN with the
new Mayor from the beginning of his
term.
In urging. this on the public, we are
animated by no personal hostility to Mr..
Klink. When he runs for Assembly in
the fall. we think it will be good politics
n a public spirited thing for the Demo-
cratic party to endorse him as a reward
for his course In respect to the Equal
Taxation matter and for his opposition to
the Macarthur Term-Extender. We look
at the mater without bias. with a view
purely and solely to the fitness of things,
n we believe hat we rave shown good
and sufficient reason why Mr. Midlige
should nave the preference over hin on
the present occasion.

and in a very small space of time the
event will have been ended. The mid
week games drew out all the men
scheduled to roll and seven series were
decided. III the first Doermer and
Trautwein rolled three very lively games,
the latter winning the number needed. He
was less fortunate in the second set and
met with a loss in two straight. Has
brouck continued his winnings by TAX
ing two from Kreu2mann quite handily.
Bayer pulled up in one match with
Kreazmann, and after losing the first
race with Karr. Bo1lman was a winner.
Machold was responsible for the highest
score of the series, and is doing by far
the better work. Dietrich rolled better
than the majority, hut had no opportun-
lily to pull out in the final game. Miller

confession by the little details which
are known to otner witnesses and they
think the result Of the visit
will be to clear Hinshaw OF
the charge OF numbering his
wife. One rather strange thing
about the affair is hat Mrs. oyler, the
mother of Mrs. Hinshaw. has never
doubted the innocence Of her son-in-
law. She always maintained hat she
knew him SO well that she could not
believe that he could do such a thing,
and would not believe it until there
was produced some direct evidence.
She recently wrote him a letter in
which she reiterated her belief in his
innocence, and expressed the strong
hope that he would soon be free.

DENVER Col, Aug. 12.-James Will

he is making for the purpose of fami-
liarizing himself with the conditions
and necessi ties of the west.
The cult walton of the sugar beet.
and the breeding of cavalry horses are
the two most important matters which
he will investigate.
1T is the intention of the department
Of agriculture in the matterof SEED dis
tribution." said the secretary. ito pro-
cure seeds of rare varieties for useful
plants, and such as are difficult To OBJ
tain, and distribute them in such parts
OF the country as are snitabe for
their growth, and are of the same
soil and climatic characteris-
tics as the countries in which
these plants are Indigenous. In
pursuit of this idea, the department
now has an agent in Siberia in vesti-
eating the grasses Of the ele vated
p~lateaus of that region. who will Sc
cure seeds of these plants If possible,
and experiment with them in the arid
and semi-arid regions of the west with
the view of selection of such as NAV
prove TO be advantageous for feed for

A GRAND IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Thousands of Acres cf Arid Ground to be

Denver yesterday to make arrange
ments for carrying forward a gigantic
irrigation project in western Colorado
and Utah, in which he has become in
terested. Col. Balloon has been per-
~sonallv investigating the ground to be
covered by the irrigation system.
The plan is to irrigate Mesa county.
Col, and Grand county, Utah. The
canal will start at tae head of the
Platte creek. above Grand Junction, fol-
lowing the Grand river, and then
branching off to the west, running
through a nov practically arid section.
In the first six miles the canal will ir-
rigate so. 900 acres in Colorado alone,
and eco, 900 in Utah. provided the Utah
state government consents to build q
two mile tunnel through which the
water will be conveyed.
1.-THE water" said Col. Balcom. .'will
be drawn from the Grand river, which,
you can quote me as saying. contains
more water than all the rivers com
bined on the western slope Of the Rocky
mountains"
lie has received assurances that the
state Of Utah will consider the project
very favorably. After a brief stay
here he will go to Salt Lake City u
confer with the state government.

THE LOSS OF THE MEXICO
She Was Wrecked mt the Entrance to sitka
Harbor-AIl Hands Saved.

VICTORIA. II. c., Aug. 12.-The steam
err Mexico, which was wrecked at the
entrance of Sitka harbor at 4 a. H.. on
August >, had been running ut half
speed because of the dense fog until n
few moments before a rock was struck.
Pilot Connell then rang for full steam
ahead, and soon after there was
a terrific shock on the star
board quarter. So great was the
momentum that the ship was carried
through the reef. which. it is believed.
was the West Devil rocks, and into the
deep water beyond.
Instantly there was a call of the
crew. and without the slightest con-
fusion the IS passengers IN board we're
safely placed in the ships boats. Soon
after the vessel struck the heavy fog
cleared, and it was bright and sun
shiny before she went down.
There was no excitement on board.
The passengers and watch below were
awakened by the shock. The alarm
was quickly given and all were quickly
dressed and treasured by the GOODNESS
Of the officers and awaited their turns
to enter the boats. The vessel was
valued at about S1OO. 900.
