the other day, had no peer. He was the
second pitcher to knack the art of curv-
ing the ball. The first to throw curve
was Arthur Cummings. The pitching

distance. Bobby's curves furnished col
umns of sensations in the newspapers at
the time.

Government has signifed its willingness
to pay an indemnity, but thinks $4,000,
the amount claimed, too high.

Every woman cannot be beautiful, but
a cheerful face often supplies the def
cheney. But no one can be cheerful and
bring joy to others unless they have per-

placed this priceless boon within the
reach of every woman, as the following
incident proves:

WHEAT GOES TO $3.50.
MAY OPTION RISES 20 CENTS
IN TWO DAYS.
Wild Scenes Enacted on the Chicago
Beard of Trade Removal of Duties
by France and Italy Was the Main
Cause of Advance.
Scramble for Bread Abroad.

Chicago special:
The most sensational rise in wheat for
many years was scored on the Chicago
Board of Trade Thursday. May wheat
closed at $3.50 bushel or 20 cents over
Wednesdays close, when 10 cents was
added. Excitement was intense. July
wheat closed at $1.02A after going up to
81 .03.
A succession of sensational features, al
most unparalleled within the recollection
of veteran traders, marked the session.
I Called reports of half-starved and crazed
Inhabitants of the provinces Of Spain and
Italy breaking through the ranks Of arm
ed soldiers in a mad scramble for bread
were officially confirmed on Change. Fol
lowing closely upon the heels of the
French removal of the import duty on
wheat, Italy took similar action. Bread
riots" were reported in Rome and the
provinces of Italy. Agitation was rife in
the German reichstag for the removal Of
the import duty by that Government, and
rumor had it that Russia is contemplating
the prohibition of grain exports.
War is only partially to blame for the
tension in the wheat market. Italy's fam
inc cannot be regarded as due to the in
ternational encounter, and yet the streets
Of Rome are pictured as thronged with
famished people vainly crying for bread.
The same cry is echoed in the provinces
Of France. That the latter country is
very closely pressed was evident by it's
taking the lead in wiping out the import
duty. In Russia the small stocks are en-
gaging the attention of the Government
with a view of restricting exports. The
German Government is now agitating the
removal of the duty on grain. Accord
ing to dispatches received the food situa-
ton in Spain is fraught with the greatest
of peril to the present dynasty.
While May wheat advanced in one
bound from 81 80 to $1.37 at the opening,
it relapsed with equal speed to $131, but
rallied back to $1.35 within two hours
after the opening. Just before the clos
ing hour it again scared when the high
figure of the day was reached. The clos
ing was at highest point, $50. The
excitement in the wheat pit was intense.
July wheat was not behind in the pro-
cession and made record for the season
by selling up to the dollar mark. That
option closed Wednesday at GS5bc, opened
Thursday at 9934c and was carried up to
$1.OG3s before it sank back again to 905Ac
September wheat was also on the upward
grade.

ARMY AND NAVY TERMS.
Infornat alton Useful to Those Who
Read the Newspapers.

Just now, when everybody is interested
in the movements of the army and navy,
the average reader is not unlikely to be-
come confused with the multiplicity Of
terms and titles employed in the news
papers. He may make the mistake, for
instance, Of thinking that captain in the
navy is the equal in rank of a captain in
the infantry, or that a captain in the in
fantry is bigger man than naval lieu
tenant. He may be interested to know
that there are two kinds of squadrons,
one which runs on land and one which
travels on the water; that a regiment Of
artillery consists Of twelve batteries Of
six guns each, and that regiment of cav
airy is composed of twelve troops, two
or more of which form a squadron. The
relative rank of the officers Of the army
and navy and the divisions in the forma-
ton of these two branches of the service
are as follows:

Big Jump in Liverpool.

Liverpool's advance Thursday was over
8 cents bushel. London also gave an
additional upward screw to the market.
One of the biggest surprises was the in
formation that Minneapolis had received
inquiries for wheat from Hong Kong.
Heretofore Hong-Kong has never been
compelled to come further than San Fran
cisco. The Pacific coast is in the throes
of wheat famine on account of the fail
ure of the crop there. San Francisco
advices say that all the wheat in that sec
ton of the country must be held for home
consumption and none can be sold for ex-
port.

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
THE UNCAs DAMAGED by FIRE.
An Overturned stove Ignites Her
shot Mt by Spaniards.

KEY WEST, FLA, August 10.-The tug
Uncas, commanded by Lieutenant r.
Brainerd, reached here this morning after
an exciting fortnight of blockade duty on
the North Cuban coast.
On this trip the UnCas put ashore all
her expedition for Gomez and had dan
gerous fire in her hold, just above the
magazine. In spite of all this she looked
none the worse when she steamed into
Key West harbor to-day for more coal
and provisions.
When the Uncas left here two weeks
ago she carried Captain Stable, of Go
meZ's staff with six other Cubans and 500
Remington carbines and ammunition for
the insurgent commanders forces The
next morning an overturned cook stove in
the vessel started a fire. The Uncas was
then only two or three miles off Habana
almost in range of the enemy's guns
After extinguishing the fire by chopping
away the woodwork the tug proceeded to
Cay Comics, near Caibarien, where she
put her little Cuban party ashore without
encountering a Spaniard
1t was while lying off MatanZas a day or
two ago the Uncas was fired upon. She
was within two miles of the shore, when,
without any warning, the sand battery of
six-inch guns began to throw shells at
her. Full twenty of the missiles fell
around the tug within a radius of a hun
dred yards before she could get out OF
range. AS she steamed away the Uncas
returned the fire with her three forward
and aft six-pounders.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 1O.-(Spe-
cial. )-Pickett's men spent the morning on
the river and the afternoon and evening
at Washington Park. 1t has been a
gloomy day. Frequent showers have
somewhat marred the pleasure, but the
visitors have been well cared for, and
have enjoyed the varied and interesting
features of the days programme. At an
informal gathering in the Hotel Walton
this morning many expressions of graft
tude and appreciation for courtesies ex-
tended were heard. Mrs. Northen, Misses
Leahy and Laube, Captain Lamb, Major
Pickett, Captain Lindsey, Captain Hall
and Judge Farrar all said that they were
delighted with their reception. Mrs
Northen said she could never forget the
kindness shown TO her. Miss Leahy pro-
phesied a general reunion of veterans of
the North and South at no distant date
Captain Lindsey thought this reunion
would be productive OF good results. Ma
jor Pickett said he had never been so cor
daily welcomed, even among his own peo-
pie. Captain Lamb said he had been
thrilled by the ovations accorded Pickett's
men on Monday. and Captain Hall said
he had come here with some misgiyings.
but had been agreeably surprised by the
cordiality OF his welcome. After break
fast the veterans and ladies of the party
visited the famous playhouse on Arch

having made the first American flag. Az

stood with uncovered heads Oh the pave
