TaEOf Valuable Watch That Was Lost
 on an Elevated Railroad.


 on an Elevated Railroad.
 This watch in itself IS {. valuable op7' said New York business man as 0ok the timepicce from the peculiar A2}eing fob in which hs carries it, but it la an adventure last week that gives it still greater value to me. The fob is n heirloom, and, as you may sec, wdld be apt to attract attention any wire.
 One afternoon last eek I was go- intup town on Q crowded train on the Siih avenue elevated. The train was sobrowded that I was compelled to std on q car platform close to the hrke wheel. As the train was round inIthe curve out of West Third street l tot my watch from my pocket, re- mted it from the fob, and, after not inj the time, showed it back into the fol and returned it, as l thought, to tht pocket. Instead of getting it into thpockot, however. it was on the out sid and as I let it go it fell. Tho gu;d saw it as it fell and reached out shisoot to save it from going between shplatforms, but failed, and down it Eet.
 I got off the train at Eighth street antran back as fast as could to the spdw here the watch had dropped, hay ing I may of course say, not the sliatest hope that the watch would be any hero to be seen. When l reached hplace, my heart almost jumped out of ny throat, for there in the street, co1picuous among it's surroundings, layhe fob. 1 picked it up. It was emp ty. No watch could find anywhere.
 ''Sone one has found it, was natu- ray my conclusion, and that was the las I ever expected to hear or sec of it.
 But as l walked back toward the Eihth street station 1 got to thinking abQt the matter differently. If any one ha{ found the watch, why should he hae left the fob? The more thought of the more made up my mind that thewatch hadn't been found. board ed train at Eighth street and went up tou to the railroad headquarters. Thre told of the singular thing. that ha, happened to my watch, and the of- fice in charge told mo that after the commission hours were over for the day tho track walkers would start from Fity-ninth street down the line, mak- ing their regular inspection of the rails anl roadway, and he would instruct thm to keep an eye out for the lost wtch
 But said he, smiling, T guess yoI will have to como to tho conclu- sio, after all, that some one else will tel the time by it hereafter if it hasn't ben smashed to pieces by the fall.
 Next day went to the office. My witch was there. A track walker had dicovered it by the light of his torch at midnight lying snugly on one of the giIlers or braces of the iron, roadway beleath the track. The ring was sprung ou of its fastening in the stem, and tn, watch was open. There was dent onthe case at the hinge. In falling the w;toh had struck in some mysterious wy so that it had been forced from the fol, which went on down to the street. Beyond the trifling damage l mentioned ath, watch was not injured ill the slight est If there ever was luckier find thinythat, never heard of 1t. New Ysrk Sun.

THE SACRIFICE.
ItMade Mamma Sad. but the Baby G1oated
 and Was Glad.


 and Was Glad.
 She was sweet little woman, with big brown eyes and pretty air of de- termination and hardly summoned for titude, as she led 4.year-old boy into an up town barber shop. She took off his hat and dallied lovingly for q mo- ment with his long yellow curls. Then she spoke to the man in the first chair, but her voice faltered and fell, and no one else could hear what she said.
 In a minute the little chap was perched atop of hassock placed in the chair, big apron was around his neck, and the barber with comb and shears in hand was preparing to begin his work.
 The little woman seated herself reso- lutely with her face to the street and gazed straight out at the stream of teams and bicycles that fills Woodward avenue just before noon, but she didn't seem to see anything of the long proces. sion.
 Snip, snip, snip," went the shears, and still she looked straight ahead be. fore her. Then her head began to turn slowly, but before the fatal chair came in view she had recovered her nerve and strengthened herself with little shiver, fixing her gaze once more on the oppo- site side of the street.
 But that couldn't last long. Her hands were beating nervously on the arms of the chair, and the toe of a dainty boot made a rat-a-tat-tat on the tiling. She shifted uneasily in her seat, and pretty soon her head turned again. very slowly this time, until she could see the devastation the shears had wrought. l+' -9
 One side of the little chaps head was already shorn of it's long locks, and the unfeeling tonsorial artist held another curl at full length. Snip went the shears. The little woman gasped, and big tear rolled down her chcNk. She fi6ked it off, but another followed it. She didn't look away again. but the barber's task was nearly finished before she trusted herself to speak.
 Then she swallowed hard, tried to smile and said in strained. wabbly voice:
 'They're almost gone now, baby"
 "Yes. responded the youngster, with anapproving glance at his reflection in che mirror. "I guess Dick won't call me little girl any more. "--Detroit News.

SAILED TOR HALIFAX
Tho Indiana Seoks Foreign Dock for Re-
 pairs-Others to Follow


 Washineton, Aug 5-The big battle ship Indiana sailed away from Newport today for Halifax. where sheezwill be docked, cleaned and painted. She is the first Of the battleships that has been sent from the United States to a foreign port for lack of docking facilities at home, but it is probable that She must be fol- lowed by her sister ship, Massachusetts, and the Iowa, as 1t is not expected now that the New York dock will be repaired in less than years time and there is noi other dock on the Atlantic coast capable of receiving them.
 The Helena sailed today from the Washington navy yard for Pensacola, Fla, to relieve the Montgomery on the patrol there. She will not be kept in Florida waters longer than a month, but at the end of that time will go to New York to be made ready for her voyage to China.

 The leaders are off, all in a blooming bunch, with only the space of a blanktr tween the thrse of them. The Champs and Beaneaters came together yesterday. 1t was clash of arms and battle was for tfI- provsrbial ''blo3d" Hts were pfeniful and to spare, but the Champs wefe more foriunale than the home team and when the dust of lhe confiiJt had blown over there was weeping and wall Ing among the Hubltes.
 The Reds met the Indians on fth Cin- cirlnau Il diamond, and t(aough the conflict was sharp and bi1eer. the scalps of the Red men diangled from 'ane belt of tns only Buck-he of the tribe of Ewing. It was conflict in which the decision was delayed until the very last moman Cleveland led off with score in the nftst. Three mons were added in the third, and the atmosphere began to as- sume an ashen hue, with an indigo streak nere and there. The Reds rallied, how ever and in their half of the -hird in ming chalked up three runs. The streak daded away, but tf1s agony was not yet over. One run means much, bur; ft was necessary to have two In the fourth the tie score was made and then for three fEtnings it wais a docle of eggs on botb sides. Tn the eigGa.h the Reds again scored, and the Indiars failed to connect. Mluh few more Snippy, gingery games like this the Reds will at least be able to get grip on the cord, If not the pen nant.
 The game of the day, however. was that witntssd by the Quakers in staid old Fhilade'rthta. It required twelve full in- nings to decide che contest between the Phillies and Giants. 7Nrw York made two rlrs in the second, the home team get ting just half that number. In the foul tn the Giarts added another. In the fifth nhe Philhcs made one and in the severlth two more, putting them in the lead by score of to B. In thc eighth the Giants baited in the tie run and from that time on for threa innings it was neck and meek. goose egg and goose egg. The Twelfth inning came and with a man on Ihird Tatoe for the Philifs drove a warm member to tha left. which Holmes failed to connect with, thus allowing Ghe win- ming score to be made. New York failed to mateiialize and the agony was over.
