There died recently in Pasadena,
Cal. N man who had q strange power
OF locating underground currents of
water. His name was John r. God
frey. Captain Godfrey first used his
power during the civil war. He
would walk oyer a bit of ground and
declare that water could be found q
short distance underneath. and 1t
was invariably found Later the CAP
tain located wells In Maine and other
eastern states, and finally came to
California. In Pasadena he lived for
a number OF years, and during this
time be located O large number Of
wells. He was even employed by the
Southern Pacific railroad company to
go out onto the desert in Arizona and
locate well. He seemed to follow
no definite plan in the business. He
would walk slowly over the ground,
and suddenly come to q stop, his
nerves seeming to be under a pecu-
liar kind of strain, for he trembled
from head to foot. He said little
about his power, but went 90 far as
to explain that1 in his opinion, IL
came from the fact that he was neg
atively charged with electricity, and
that underground currents of water,
being strong conductors Of electric
ity. the extra force which he came In
contact with, affected him. He could
make 1t no clearer than this, though
the department of the interior at
Washington communicated with him
several times in IN effort to make an
investigation Of this form of sc,enee
-water-Anding.

Philadelphia, June 9.-The Phillies had
a walkover with the Senators at Phila-

inning, they were in the lead by score
of 8 to 1. Mcfarland started in to pitch

of the box in the second inning. Baker
succeeded him, but he Jared even worse,
the Phillies knocking him all over The lot.
They made fifteen hits off the two twirlers,
fourteen of them being singles.
Fraser was in the box for the local team,
and one single and a double were all that
the visitors were able to make off his
delivery. He pitched a steady game and
only in the first inning were the Senators
able TO score. Then Barry hit for two
bases, went to third on a Wild pitch and
stole home.
Thomas led the batting with three sin
giles, Lauder got a single and double.

DISTRICT LEAGUE, OPENING.
The First Game Won by the Eastern
AthIefics.


Athletics.
The District Baseball League season was
opened at National Park yesterday after
noon with a game between the mines rep
resenting the Eastern Athletic Club and
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The attendance was small owing to the
rain that fell during the day, and it was
generally thought that the opening would
be postponed. What the crowd lacked in
numbers 1t made up in enthusiasm. The
fans were about equally divided in their
sentiments, and the roofing was fast
and furious at all stages.
President Adam Johnson tossed the first
ball over the plate. 1t is evident that
much interest is being taken in the League
and a great rivalry exists among the
various teams. Everything possible has
been done by the officers to make the
venture success, and 1t would seem that
their efforts have not been spent in vain.
Games will be played each day the Wash
ington club is away from home, and the
enthusiasts will have a surfet of base
ball until the ides of September.
The game yesterday was a sided af-
fair from start 10 finish. The Eastern
Athletics got off in the lead and after the
first inning scored whenever they felt so
inclined. Collihower, for the Easterns,
was almost invincible, and had the oppos-
. ing batsmen well in hand at all times.
Nicholson was in the box for the Bureau
and allowed seventeen hits. His support
was of the most ragged kind, seven be-
ing the number of errors made by his
team. Collifower retired eight of the op-
posing batsmen on strikes, while Nichol-
son had four strikeouts to his credit
The greatest feature OF the day was the
playing OF Hennager at second for the
Eastern Athletic Club. In the ninth inning
he made perhaps the most sensational
catch ever seen at National Park. After
hard run he got within reaching dis
tance of Leach's liner, and as he put out
his left hand TO receive the ball tuft of
grass tripped him and he fell headlong.
| The ball struck the glove and bounced
out again, but Hennager, while lying on
the ground, reached for the sphere with
his left hand and caught 1t before it
touched the earth The entire crowd laid
aside favoritism and rivalry and the
plucky player was given an ovation.
Hodge caught well for the Bureau team,
but his throwing to bases was erratic.
Twice while trying TO catch a runner at
second base he threw the ball into centre
field and the man scored Venable played
good, steady game at shortstp, and COM
pleted several difficult plays without an
error. The batting of Hughes was fea-
ture. and Kelley also did well with the
stick.
Messrs. Gordon and Winkleman officiat-
ed as umpires, and their work especially
that of the former gave satisfaction. The
teams of the American Athletic Club and
the City Postoffice will play this after
noon if the weather permits. The score:

Nearly All OF the Contests.

The annual field day meet of the Wash

AN EXCELLENT RECORD.
The Senator'S Are Now Batting ut n
Lively Gnit

A remarkable record was made by the
Senators on their home grounds after their
return from their first Western trip. Out
of eight games played they won Ave, all
the victories being over teams that have
pennant aspirations. The St. Louis and
Chicago papers that have been calling the
locals Minor Leaguers'' and "Misfits'
have now changed their tune and admit
that Irwin has gathered together team
that is able to win good per cent of their
games from now on. and one that will
beat out several clubs formerly considered
much stronger. While the Washingtons
work for the last week on the home
grounds has been excellent 1t has not been
phenomenal and they will easily duplicate
their success in the future. While here
the Senators made an average of 625, their
batting average as team being 263. Fol-
lowing is the individual batting record Of
the men for that time:

One thing is certainly possible-Har-
ward has material for even a better
team than she had last year. Foot
ball in the East this year is going to De
not fail; and it is a question that even
with a better team than last years, she
can win the championship Of '99. True,
Donald, Jaffray and Dibblee Of last
years team will be missed, but then
there is Beef Eaton, Burnett and
Savin as hot candidates for their places
Last year it was amusing to stand
along the side lines of Soldiers field and
see Eaton give Donald or Houghton all
the tackle game they could play, and in
the minor games Savin made some of
the finest runs and brilliant lodges seen
on Soldiers field last year. If Savin
had little more nerve he would be the
half back Dibblee was, every inch of it.
Penn is busy saving wood and has

.FILIPINOS WAR
ONLY ON IMPERIALISM
Agusnaldo Insists That the Alliance
Made With Dewey Has Not
Been Broken.

Manila, Oct. Z, II p. m.-The Tennes-
see regiment, the last of the volunteers,
will sail for the United States to-mor-
row on board the transport Indiana,
after week passed in the harbor
Aguinaldo, in a proclamation an
nouncing the release of American pris-
oners and authorizing Filipino soldiers
in the northern province to return 70
their homes, says:
In America there is a great party
that insists upon the government recog-
nizing Filipino independence. That
party will compel the United States to
fulfill the promises made to us in all
solemnity and good faith, though not
put into writing.
Therefore we must show our graft
| tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
that the great democratic party may
win the next presidential election and
imperialism fail in its mad attempt to
Subjugate us by force of arms. There
are some Americans in the Philippines
| who have Joined us, because they dis
approve of a war which Mr.. Atkinson
calls criminal aggression. When offered
a chance to return to their own camp
| they declined"
| Throughout the proclamation Aguin-
| aldo denounces the "imperialists" in
stead of the Americans" as in former
| documents. He calls the world to wit
| ness that the Filipinos have not broken
| the alliance made through Admiral
| Dewey with the Americans and with the
| American consuls at Hong Kong and
| Singapore"
The people, on seeing the American
| prisoners, cried out: Two do not want
war against the United States. We
| only defend our independence against
| the imperialsts. The sons of that
| mighty nation are our friends"
