ANOTHER CAME FOR SCHAEFER Easily Defeats Sutton at 1S-Inch Balkline
 Billiards.
Not Sufficiently Handicapped for the Canadian to Have
 a Chance.
Sutton, However, Has a walkover in the Afternoon Contest
 With Spinks.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Jaccb Schaefer defeated George Sutton tonight in the 1S-inch balkline tournament by a score of 400 to 195 tonight.
 When the handicaps were announced 1t was the opinion of most of the fol- lowers of the game that Sutton was tco light, judging by his showing in the New York tournament. With the pres ent handicap, the Canadian would have beaten both Schaefer and Slosson in the Gotham games. The shortstops. however, were not willing to be sepa- rated and consequently Sutton was put on the same mark with Spinks and Cation.
 That Ives appreciated the situation was evident last night, for he went out rom the start to make up his handicap as quickly as possible. Schaefer tried to do the same this evening, but the balls would not roll kindly for him, and he could do nothing against the steady work of the Canadian, who was peg ging away with an average of over 15. It was a hard game for Sutton to lose, after his good beginning, but he mad no complaint to make. Schaefer plays Cation tomorrow afternoon, Ives meeting Spinks in the evening.
 Score: Schaefer, 400; average, 21 1-19. sutton, total, 195; average, Il 5-15.
 George Sutton had an easy thing of the game this afternoon. He was not in his best form, but he was able to run his 260 points while Spinks made 1l8 Spinks lost his nerve when he found Sutton was out for business and his first run was his best, save the sev- enth, during the game.
 Third money is still to be fought for as the shortstops have each won and lost a game.
 The afternoon score: Sutton-Total 26O; average, IT 1-3. Spinks-Total, 11S; average 3-T

The members of the board again report that Apprentice J. E. Orton who was recommended by them last quarter for promotion to petty officer, third class, on account of his superior ability, and who was by permission of the board rated as apprentice, first class Is still worthy of the position of third class gun ners mate. Upon his examination he stood 5 in seamanship in ordnance and gunnery. 5 in conduct and 10 in signals. l think it would not be inappropriate to rate him as recon1- mended. Whether these apprentices are na- turally brighter than others I cannot say but l am led to believe from my observations that with six months on a sailing ship they are prepared to go on board our new cruisers and battleshps.
 When torpedoes are overhauled and fired many Of the boys request permission to be present in order to become acquainted with their manipulation It Is very probable that the example set them by their divisional of ncers encourages them to persevere. As I be- lleve that the commanding officer is not au- thorized to rate apprentices higher than the second class, respectfully ask that I may be permitted to rate the before mentioned ap- prentices as recommended by the board Very respectfully, A.

HIGH SCHOOL ECHOES.

Miss Scott reports that the class
in Photography is making excellent
progress.
Most of the freshmen made very
good grades in the last Algebra ex-
animation.
The classes in solid Geometry will
soon complete their work and take up
Trigonometry.
The class in Physics is doing much
individual laboratory work and show
ing good results. They are now work
ing in Mechanics of fluids.
The freshmen are studying Ivanhoe
the sophomores Merchant of Venice;
the juniors Twelfth Night; the seniors
Webster's First Bunker Hill Grafton.
The Greek class have nearly COM
pleted the first Greek book. They
will review it thoroughly before
beginning Xenophon. Their work is
high grade.
OF the thirty-three pupils who
began Latin this year only two have
dropped out. This is a fine showing
not only for the Latin class but for
the stability of Cahon's population.
The Cicero class have now finished
the four orations against Catiline and
the oration in behalf of the poet
Archias. They have committed to
memory several choice selections from
the poet Archias.
Robert Amick and Harry Heaton
have decided to have University

PERSIMMoNs IN SEASON.
The Demand for This Fruit Limited
Here, hut Increasing slowly.

Most of the persimmons consumed
here come from Florida. There was n
time when some persimmons from
Staten Island, in this state, were sold
here. The persimmons from the more
northerly states are ripened by frost,
those from Florida and California by
the sun. The persimmons from the
more northerly states are wild, those
from the southern states nearly all cul-
tivated,
Persimmons of several varieties are
now brought from Florida; the great
est number received are of the Japanese
variety. The cultivated persimmon is
less puckery than the wild persiHmon,
and it grows larger. Some cultivated
persimmons grow to be as big as good
sized oranges.
A few persimmons come from Florida
in the spring, but the great supply
comes in the fall, beginning at about
the middle of September and lasting un.
til about the last of November. The
persimmon is not fit to eat until It Is
dead ripe, and after that it spoils rap
idly; it is very susceptible to handling.
Ripe fruit, if it is to be sold at all, must
be sold at once. In the earlier part of
the season, with plentiful supply in
the market, and the demand, as IL is,
comparatively limited. persimmons are
often very cheap here, and they may be
sold on the East side.
The persimmoni is highly esteemed by
connoisseurs. 1t is sold in the very
finest of fruit stores, and late in the
season fine persimmons command u
high price, selling frequently for half
ns much again AS fine oranges. But
even at such prices II is doubtful IL the
dealer makes anything, owing TO their
delicate nature and the constant LA
bility TO lose on them.
The total receipt of persimmons here
amount to only few hundred boxes
annually, somewhere between 500 and
1000 boxes. The demand for them is
slowly but steadily growing.-N. Y.

DIR. Darby Writes.

In the January number of the Medi-
cal Era, popular medical journal
published in Chicago, appears an ex-
haustive article on consumption and
its cure by Pueblo physician, DR.. E.
A. Darby, says the Pueblo Chieftain.
The features of this paper are alto
gether new and are presented as by
one who has given much time and
research to his theme. The author
gives five points, or essentials, in the
cure of this dread disease. He then
proceeds to show how nature cures
consumption occasionally, and how
natures methods may be initiated.
He discourses with perfect familiar
ity upon the creditable attempts that
have already been made, and shows
wherein they fail in imitation of
nature. He speaks in praise of the
'Hot Air Treatment" the "Goerbers-
dorf Cure" the Pneumatic Cabinet"
and the "Shurly-Gibbes Treatment y
Hypodermic injections of organic mat
ter are classed as dangerous delu-
sions.' The author of the paper then
proceeds to show wherein the five
great necessities for cure are full
filled by the proper use of the static
or influence machine, which includes
| the inhalations of ozone manufactured
by the machine fresh as needed, also
the destruction of the bacilli by the
direct spark and by driving medicinal
substances directly into the diseased
areas, opening up sluggish air cells,
sterilizing the tubercles for absorp-
tion, invigorating the respiratory mus
cles and removing prostration.
This treatment, which the author
has named the "Statiphoric treat
ment,' is claimed to be perfectly safe
and thoroughly scientific. With con-
sumption causing IA per cent of all
deaths, paper Of this kind should
receive the careful attention of the
profession.

Seen By Others.

Mr.. C. C. Goodwin, editor of the
Salt Lake Daily Tribune, was recent
visitor in Canon. He is a friend of
both Geo. R. Shaeffer and VIM. H.
Mcclure of this place. Following is
taken from one of his articles in the
Tribune:
Getting on the east side Of the
range, a few hours spent at Canon
City, Colorado, afforded much pleas
ure. W. H. Mcclure and George r.
Shaeffer, so well known in Salt Lake
City because of their investments and
real estate operations there some years
ago, reside here.
Mr.. Mcclure took the writer over
much of the valley in which the town
is located. 1t is little valley, say
four by six miles in extent, located on
the Arkansas river just below the
Royal Gorge, through which the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railway runs. At
the upper end of Main street is the
state penitentiary, in which are con-
fined over GOO prisoners, with but lit
tie to do except occasional work in
the great stone quarry within the
grounds of the institution. 1t has be-
come matter of anxiety as to what
shall be done with so many idle con-
victs. Confinement without occupa-
tion is found to sap both mental and
physical faculties, and insanity often
follows as well as various other dis
eases to wreck the physical system.
''The excellent soda and iron springs
near the penitentiary are attractions
of which citizens are proud.
Near the penitentiary company
is putting in an immense power plant
to supply light and power to the peo-
pie of Cripple Creek, thirty miles
northward.
North of the town there was land
vacant up to two or three years ago,
because of no water on it, and hence
was left as a barren waste. After the
hills at Cripple Creek had been pierced
by numerous shafts and tunnels water
was developed to such an extent as to
send good flow clear down to Canon
City. This was appropriated to that
vacant land, which was cut up into
five-acre lots and sold from 500 to
$500 per acre. 1t was designated
Park Center by Mr.. Mcclure, who is
the owner of Central Park addition to
Salt Lake. Of the $500 acres of
land thus subdivided and sold great
er portion has been put under culti-
vation and planted with fruit trees.
This plat is only another object lesson
showing how water is life to the arid
lands of the deserts, and which prom
ises to yield rich reward to the for
tunate owners of these blocks of land.
Apples thrive we'll here and command
an average price of 81 per bushel or
So per barrel. Some of the small or
chards paid from 5000 to 5000 per
acre the past season. One man meas
ured trees on one acre of ground and
picked 465 barrels of apples, which
brought over $1,000. Other fruits
grow well here, and there is seldom a
failure"
