the fact that they were minus five of their

seen from this report of the game, copied
from the Barton Monitor, as follows;
"The game of base ball between the
Island Pond boys and the team from the
village drew large crowd and showed
that the sport was popular with the
people. The game at first was too much
in favor of Barton, but later the Island
Pond boys commenced scoring and man.
aged to keep their side pretty well up.
The game ended with score of 81 to II
in favor of Barton"

were spoiled by tOrrential rains, which made the roads almost impas- sable. Several guns were stuck in the mud so firmly that six horses were unable to extricate them.

 A Duel That Meant Business.-Au Paris is excited over duel which
 has just been fought between a law
 yer and litterateur. These two men
 fought with such bitterness that for
 a time their meeting threatened to
 have results contrary ta the usual
 custom with such affairs. The law
 yer speedily had the point of his sword against his opponents body and
 the latter grasped the weapon with one hand and with the other tried to
 run his weapon through the lawyers body. The latter sprang back and cried with alarm and dfsmay: "Would you assault me, wretch?' At this stage of the combat one of the seconds rushed forward and pull ed the bloodthirsty litterateur back, shouting:
 Unhappy being, would you commit murder?"
 Eventually the two were separated though without the customary rec onciliatfon.

WHAT PARIS TALKS ABOUT.

The Franco-R Russian Alliance During the intervals in the discus sion of the prophecy of Herr Fab of Vienna that the world will come to an end on November 13. 1899, the Paris newspapers are still ibusily en- gagged in shaping up the future of France in company With the Russian bear. The undercurrent of reaction which set in after the first delirium caused by the apparent announce meat of the Franco-Russian alliance began to suibside is now slightly more visible. It is pioneered by Henri Rochefort's sarcasms in the Intrans- igeant, pointing out that the CrOn- stadt meeting has rendered French soldiers superfuous, and that the best thing to do is to make them bake bread for the poor, which has been made, the papers say, far too costly by the political Melinite alliance" !" The alliance, however, is a topic for daily congratulation among most classes in France, and 1t has given the greatest pleasure at the Vatican, where the intrigues of Cardinal Kopp, the prince bishop of Broslau, to de- tach Vatican sympathy from France, have met with but little success, the French, indeed, alleging that the dual alliance has another partner in the pope.
 Premiums for Big FHamtlies.@The shrinking of the birth rate in France, which for some years has been repeat edly brought to public notice, is now attracting serious attention. A so- ciety styled the Alliance Rationale of which pr. Jacques Bertiloa is president, and which was organized early during the present year, has taken the question in hand, and has induced thirty eight departmental as- semblies to adopt resolutions -%mbody- ing the society's programme, demand ing that the government pass a law reducing taxation in proportion to the number of children in the tax payers family, and that this principle be applied to all financial laws. In addition, where the number of ser wants exceeds the number of children the taxpayer Is to be subjected to an exceptional surtax, and all favors at the disposal of the state are to be reserved for the members of large families. Another proposition which is finding considerable favor is that the government should educate and care for all children over six in any family.

THE GRAND CANON.

The Grand Canon Stage company o1 Flagstaff is now prepared to handle any number of passengers for the Grand Canon Hundreds of visitors will no doubt make this trip this sum- mer. For all visitors who are now in Arizona, we can only say that to return home without visiting this grandest of all pieces of Gods handiwork would DC an act that they would always regret. The scenery cannot be surpassed in any part of the world-grand, sublime. overlapping well worth a trip across the continent to visit. Do not miss it.
 Parties holding return tickets easl with stop-over privileges en route, should by all means visit the Grand Canon from Flagstaff, upon their re- turn.

adequate food supplies a thing of the past Except for the crowding on the steamers, the trip can be comfort ably made. The fact that vessels leave Seattle every day does not mean that their passengers will reach the Klondyke any sooner than those who start from the east next April. Those who leave here then will have the advantage of having spent com fortable winter, and of possessing an unimpaired outfit. The next trip of the Portland, about October 25, will cause greater excitement, I think, than the first. On this trip she will probably bring down the yellow metal in greater quantities than on her in itial trip, and that first trip startled the world"
