There was plenty of excitement in the
ninth inning at Cleveland yesterday. The
Senators won out, but the Spiders gave
them such a scare that they will have
respect for the cast-offs for some time. The
score was to > in favor of Washington

ninth. The game had been so one-sided
that it was without interest. Then by time
ly hitting and senatorial fumbling the home
team scored three runs. But this was the

Queer Origin Of d Hotel.

They say that the best hotel in Texas
is to be found at Bolton, a town on the
Santa Fo road and is kept by "tseven
sanctitied sisters as the proprietors
are popularity called. Several years ago
a woman in the place and her husband
quarreled over the best way of ex-
pounding the Scriptures to a Sunday
school class and were SO stubborn that
they separated and were finally di-
vOrced.
This family controversy was taken
up by the town, which was soon dis
tinctly divided between the adherents
Of the husband and the adherents of the
wife. The result was a large crop of di-
vorces, and seven husbandless women,
including the original cause of the com-
motion, joined together and rented the
town hotel. One of them did the cook
ing, another was parlor maid, a third
made up the beds, and 80 they divided
the work among them and ran the es-
tablishment on the cooperative plan
