DR.. Cooke is the best in his line ever

In introducing himself DR.. Cooke said
that in performing the experiments to

CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME OF
BALL AT FORT DOUGLAS.
The Score Stood Ter to Nine In Favor
of the Elks-Cold Weather De-

The Elks bested the Ogden team in
a closely contested game at the Fort
Douglas grounds yesterday. The Wis
itors put UP good ball, but the home
nine, reinforced by Jackson, the col
ored catcher from the Browns, won out
by a scratch. The day was so cold that
not many ventured out, save the
cranks. There was considerable money

taking the long end. George Bennett,
bicycle and baseball enthusiast. placed
coin on the Elks and went home a hap

dropped off to make meal out of a hot

game for the home team, and was hard

WHY THE ENGLISH DROP THE Oh
The French Said to Have a Hand in
Its Loss.

The question is asked Tid-Bits by can
Fnglishman," ''Why is it that English
people are such sinners in respect to the
improper use of the letter 'h?'' The writ
er goes on to say that the Scotch, Irish
and Americans are not given to this fault
mess in speech. Philologists attribute the
frequent disrespect with which the letter
is treated to the influence of the French
language upon those of the Engish-speak-
ing race who live in England itself. AS
everyone knows, the IN is not aspirated
in the French language, which was until
the middle ages largely used in this coun-
try Then, for almost centuries at q time,
in the days of the Plantagenets, our Eng
lish soldiers, who We're wandering about
France became naturally enough affected
by its peoples manner of speech, and re-
turned to their own country to infect their
families and acquaintance with the same
influences which are to determine method
of pronunciation. And at that time it
was really an Engish-not British-army
which did the bulk of the fighting.
Again, from time to time, various quar-
ters of England have be en used as settle
ments for French refu gees-the Hugue-
nots for eNample-and French prisoners

tally, which, as we know are the districts
in which the aspirate is least observed.
Scotland, Ireland and Wakes were not I'M
der the same influences, the ir greater dis
lance from the continent be ing one Of the
reasons. But the constant III" dropping
among the working classes in England to-
day is, am sure, largely due to the fact
that the workingman who persists in
speaking of his horse. his house and his
home instead of his 'orse, 'Ouse and 'ome
is regarded by his companions as a pedant,
and one who puts side on ! have often
noticed that domestic servants are quite

HARBOR sCAyENGERS.
Sea GuIIs That Hover About When n
Fishing Fleet Arrives.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Filling the air with their weird, plain
tive cries, now soaring aloft now scoop
ing suddenly down within an inch of the
white-capped waves to snatch a dainty
morsel from auothers bsak, the strong
winged, gray-breatsed scaVengers of the
harbor ply their trace. To the solid fish
erman who has braved the danger of the
banks through many Wild gale, the sight
of the seagulls which hovers and
brawls and feasts about the waters
in the vicinity of T wharf when the fish
ing feet comes in, has little attraction and
no novelty, but to the occasional visitor
to the wharf it is a delight.
There was a chill of rain in the south
west wind that blew half Il gale over the
water front yesterday noon. A score of
fleet fishermen tugged at their hawsers.
while the swarthy crews busted them
selves repairing and calling travis and
gears, washing down and cleaning ship
in preparation for another "trip 10 che fish

dumped overheard into the deck and float

circled hundreds and hundreds of keen
eyed gulls ready to dash down into the
waves for some choice tidbt from The
holds of the fishermen.
Many people We're gathered on the end
of the wharf watching the evolutions of
the fraceful birds as they fought over the
pieces of fish or meat or rode the crests Of
the breaking waves. A deep-laden cattle
steamer p!oughed her way from the East
Boston docks, two little fussy tugs putting
alongside, and rolled down the harbor on
the long ground swell Several hundred
gulls pursued her far down the harbor in
the hope that some choice morsel would
find its way from her decks.
When the full fishing fleet is at the wharf
thousands of gulls gather about the end of
the dock. Some of the small boys who
dangle legs and fish line over the edge
in the expectation of catching a smelt or
two amuse themselves by throwing far out
into the water two large pieces of fish
lied together by aAstout string. a short,
sharp battle is sure to follow. The vo-
Tacious birds do not stop at swallowing a
bit of rope, and if a gun ches each end
of the string at the same time there is a
great huttering, splashing and crying. Be

COALING A BIG STEAA ISHIP.
Why Man Labor Is Still kimployed
for This Kind of Won k.

From the st. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat.
All the ships of the transatlaHA ic lines
are coaled by practically the same crude
method, says an exchange. Bara IS of
about $50 tons capacity are brought n onS-
side of the ship, booms are rugged, AM by
tackle controlled by a donkey engine = eel
buckets are lowered to the barge fAed
by four men with shovels and noisted 20
a projecting platform, where two men
dump the bucket and shovel the coal into
the port hole. II is then taken by other
men and slowed away in the ships bunk
ers Five and a half of these buckets
equal a ton, and tally by count of the
buckets is the only record to show how
much coal the steamer has taken aboard
In coaling the steamship St Paul of the
American line forty-eight men are en-
ployed inside the ship. The average
amount of coal bunkered is 1900 tons, the
time required to unload and stow is about
forty hours and the total average cost or
the work is $1,000 These figures varying
only with the coal consumption of the
ship viii apply to the vessels of other
transatlantic lines.
Efforts to reduce this expense have been
productive of many ingenious mechanical
devices. and the inquiry is often raised
why none of these is in general use. Ihe'
answer is given in the statement by q rep
resentative of one of the transatlantic
lines: I'VE have had many offers 10 de
liver coal TO our steamers at the rate OF
anywhere from fifty TO 500 tons per hour
but what Is the use when we cannot take
care of it inside any faster than we do
now" In d modern ship fuel must be
stored wherever room can be found that
is not required or available for other pur-
poses. Coal cannot be received on board
faster than it can be stored away IN
bunkers, which, i'm the case of a modern
&c. OF ba rot Of oh M
half tons per man per hour.
More primitive methods prevail in ports
of less importance than those at either
end Of the Atlantic lines. In the West
Indies coaling is almost exclusively done
by negro women, who pour in a ceaseess
stream over the s,angplanks, each car
rying about 100 pounds of coal in a basket
poised on her head.
In Mediterranean ports the work is done
by men instead of women, but for the
most part with the same primitive instru-
ments-shovel and basket.
