BASE BALL,

Boston, September H.-St. Louis took both games today Boston playing very ragged ball. In the first game Boston ba1ted snappy hard and often. but made errors enough to lose two games. In the second game Boston could do nothing with Sudhoff, while St. Louis batted Nichols hard. Boston tried their new man Hickory on second in the first game, but he showed up in poor form. Second game called at the end of the sixth inning on account of darkness.

There was a special meeting of men,
bers of the Prescott Mining Exchange
recently to consider the matter of al
lowing Victor C. Heikes to select
portion of the Mining Exchange exhib-
it for the Arizona exhibit at the Paris
Exposition. It was very wisely de-
cided that no better use could be made
of such portion of the exhibit as Mr..
Heikes desired. An effort will also be
made to gather some choice specimens
from private resources. The selection
taken from the exchange exhibit will in
no wise lesson it's value, as only a small
piece will be taken from each ore col
lection. The idea is to give each dis
trict a good average representation.
Beyond question an exhibit of ores at
Paris will be great advertisement for
this section.

Modern Spanish Torture.

In view of the inquiry which it is
understood has been granted by the
Spanish Government into the charges
of torturing prisoners in the casemates
of Monjuich, it may be of interest to
set out some of the items in the indict-
ment made against the authorities. 1t
is said, in the first place, that a reward
of 10000 peSetaS was offered to any
Jail official who could eXtort an avowal
of guilt from a prisoner. Acting under
this stimulus, the jailers are stated to
have forced the wretched creatures un-
der their control to run round their
cells day and night for eighty hours at
a stretch, heavy whips being used to
keep the victims awake. The officials
are also said to have deprived them of
all food save salt stockfish and ardent
spirits, confession being the price of a
glass of water. Not a few paid it,
slaked their thirst. and. it is contended,
We're summarily shot.
1t is further alleged that wedges were
driven under the nails of prisoners with
hammers, and allowed to remain until
the nails sloughed away Even more
horrible mutilations are stated not to
have been uncommon. One of the most
cruel devices, borrowed from the In
QUESTION, was. it is affirmed, a ma
chine like a divers helmet, fitted with
a tube allowing the victim to breathe
while screw compressed slowly the
sides and top, thus producing incon-
ceivable agony. One prisoner, Moras,
is stated to have undergone this tor
ture more than once, and to have been
driven mad by it.-London Chronicle

Saving Silver at the Mint.

Perhaps the most interesting scheme
for the recovery of waste silver at the
local mint is that applied to the uten-
sils of the melting gang. The big iron
stirring rods, the dippers, the strain
ers and the ladies that come in contact
with the molten metal are laid aside at
intervals and sent downstairs. They
are covered with what looks like brown
rust, but is really oxydized silver. Sup
pose to digress moment. one desired
to get a coat of paint off the outside
of a house In such an event the plan
of scraping away the house and leav
ing the shell of paint standing would
be regarded as somewhat eccentric, yet
that is substantially the method adopt
ed at the mint The implements are
placed in baths of sulphuric acid, which
attacks the iron or steel but leaves the
silver untouched Little by little,
strainer, for instance, will entirely dis
appear. That is to say, the original
strainer disappears and leaves in it's
place a hollow silver counterpart, deli
cate as an egg she'll They are very
curious, these fragile casts. Their sur
face is a sort of natural filigree, hon
eycombed with innumerable fantastic
perforations. The reproduction of a
bolt or screw is oftentimes as perfect
as an electrotype, but they are hurried
remorselessly back to the crucible and
thus pursue their cycle until at last
they find their Karma in minted coin

Tested His Strength.

Charley NJ was at home from college,
spending his summer vacation. The
NJ. s We're people fairly wellto-do, and
Charley was passing the forenoon very
comfortably on the cool and shady
veranda.
Down by the barnyard fence, in q
neglected place, a crop of strong,
healthy weeds had sprung up and -four
ished under the summer sun. Left un-
molested in the rush of work on the
farm, they were fast becoming a blot
on the otherwise orderly premises, and
that morning Charley's father-the "old
man"-had sailed forth, and was now
making a vigorous assault upon the
patch.
Suddenly he left off his work and
came up into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to be lean
ing against the veranda, he laid it on
the grass, then turned to Charley and
said:
Cit down there and see if you can
pull me over that stick"
He held in his hand a small chain, in
each end of which was inserted a stout
stick to serve as a handle Then the
tug began, and developed into quite a
spirited contest. But at last Charley
succeeded in dragging the old man
across the line.
There. that'll do he said, dropping g
his end of the chain. II guess you've
got strength enough to pull them weeds
down there by the barn.
Il never said word" said Charley,
telling the story afterward, "but before
noon there weren't any weeds left
standing. youths Companion.

The item of $4,000 for water closets
created considerable discussion, all of
the Directors agreeing that it was nee
essary, but some being doubtful as to
whether it would be sufficient.
According to superintendent Erie
wines figures the board has during the
past year caused to be built four clos
cts at an aggregate cost of $500, to
meet payment of which funds set
aside for other purposes have been
used, and which will have to be re-
placed from the money to be raised by
the next tax levy.
The City Board of Health and the
Grand Jury took a hand in the matter
and demanded the construction of new
closets, and the School Board, recog-
nizing the business of the demands
built accordingly Three or four more
new closets are badly needed and will
be put in as soon as available funds
are had.

paid for from funds set aside for other

bers of the Finance Committee.
Director Atkinson for the Building
and Repair Committee. reported that
the work ordered at the last meeting
on the several schoolhouses was pro-

Mr. Atkinson further recommended
that blackboards be furnished for the
Foundlings' Home school. and that the
inside of the structure be treated to
a coat of kalsomine. The committee
was given power to act.
Mr. Atkinson further reported that
work on the new classroom for the
High School was progressing, but he
feared owing to the fact that both
windows were on the same side, that
the ventilation would be bad. He
thought large transom over the door
might obviate the trouble, but would
advise no action at this time.

PLENTY OF CANS.

PLENTY OF CANS.
Lincoln News Messenger: The short
age of cans this season is working a
hardship to the fruit-growers, as only
those having contracts with the can
And to make matters worse, the can
manufacturers had to shut down to-
day. as most of their help went out
to help celebrate the Homecoming of
the volunteers. There is no certainty
as to when the plants will resume work
full blast again.
The can manufacturers usually carry
several millions of cans on hand at
this time of the year. but the extra
large pack of canned goods this season
has consumed the entire surplus. A
News Messenger representative
called on Manager Skinner of the Lin
coin cannery, and learned that the
company had enough cans on hand and
en- route to fill their orders now in and
to take care of what fruit they have
contracted for; but that the scarcity
will have a demoralizing effect on the
green fruit market and will force larger
shipments of clings East and likely
cause a further decline on that variety
of fruit
Many Of the cans from now on will
have to be used to take care of tsa
tomato contracts, whereas if they were
more plentiful they would be filled with
Placer County Levi peaches, which are
the latest good canning fruit and are
