to war for their possession, while the
independent kings Of farther India
have time and again hypothecsted
the future revenues Of their kingdoms
for score Of years TO secure the
treasure necessary TO purchase them
from their fortunate possessOrs.
Every devout Buddhist believes with
a faith implanted from childhood, that
the body OF the white elephant IS the
receptacle Of the soul Of departed
priest Of Buddhs, while the possession
o one OF these pretty, pink.eyed
animal Albinos is believed by royalty
to insure the safety and perpetult, Of
the reigning dynasty. 1t is, in fact,

CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT
Record of the Clubs.

The Senators wound up their last west
ern trip at st. Louis yesterday by playing
two games. losing the first by the score of
to ! and winning the second by the score
of to o. Ten thousand spectators wit
messed the games.
Captain Tom Brown was the bright par
ticular star of both contests, his playing
being of the sensational order, while his
display of nerve in handling the players
deserves the highest praise from the lovers
of the national game In Washington.
In the first inning Of the second game
DeMont came to the bat with Brown on
second and Selbach on first. Both these
men are fast on the bases, ana 1t was de-
cided to try for doIble steal. the little
short stop being given instructions to wait
until the steal had been tried for. Instead
OF waiting. DeMont hit away a: the first
bail pitched. sending n nice little fly to
Cross at short and leaving two runners
hugging the bases. Such fragrant piece
of disobedience is rarely Witnessed on the
ball field, and Brown would have been
roundly censured had he left the action
pass unnoticed When the Senators took
their places In the second inning it was
found that Wrigley was at short and Alb
bey In right, DeMont being consigned to
the bench. Little Wrigley played his posi-
ton like an artist. taking care of every
chance that came his way without an err
ror and also managed to get in hit.
King and McDermott We're the opposing
pitchers in the first game, and Silver
came out second 3ess, his delivery being
hit for twelve Safeties. while Mac held the
Senators down to seven. Il is claimed that
the game went to the Browns on an un-
just decision by McDermG.t, who declared
Douglas safe at the home plate for not
being touched when he was forced from
third. the ball reaching home a safe dis
tance ahead of him. the tagging not being
necessary. This run won the game for the
Browns, and the con,est ended in a bril-
liant display of yells and kicking on this
decision.
In the second contest Mercer and Lucid
were the opposing twirlers, and. as Mer-
Ger was in good shape, the Browns were
never In the hunt but seven safeties being
registered off of his delivery. Lucid was
hit often and hard, while his support was
of the rank order. Try as they would. the
Browns could not get a runner over the
home plate. the support given Mercer be-
ing of the gilt-edge order, not an error be-
ing charged against them.
The Senators will arrive home Tuesday
and go over to Baltimore for one game.

Experiments Being Made with Poison

unfortunate young man, before the post

made in the skin of each at the base OF

The Cnlisthenfc Drill.
BY far one Of the most beautiful features
and enjoyable surprises of all the varied
military entertainment at the drill grounds
during the past week made the climax to
Thursdays program. After long hours of
gazing on the company drills OF the cham
pion companies the spectators were languid
because of the strain maintained in follow
ing the motions of the drill. After the Nor
tons had marched eff with plaudits of the
multitude Uncle Sans boys entered the
field from the left led by the veteran Col.
Whitside. whose special pride is TO please
the people.
AS the drill progressed the spectators be-
came more and more enthusiastic until the
command for about face and close ranks
was given, when an ovation such as made
the pulse Of the soldier beat quicker
given the retiring troops.
Nothing could be more beautiful in mill
tary work than this drill. Five hundred
men in bright uniforms, with bayonets and
sabers flashing in the sunlight. executing
these intricate and graceful movements
actly in time remind one of what might be
a human symphony in the military key.
This drill will soon be included in the
regular program Of all the army posts.
