The quickest and surest way to the
recovery of lost health, is by the use of
that radical and rational remedy, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Dis
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. A
host of chronic sufferers who had "doc
tored for years for diseased heart,
liver or spleen, have at last used Golden
Medical Discovery" for the blood, stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and found a perfect cure of the
hitherto incurable ailments. The most
convincing argument for trial of the
"Golden Medical Discovery" is that it
has cured so many people "given up"
by the doctors.
There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium
or other narcotic in Golden Medical

Relics Of Mr.. Davis.

RICHMOND, VA, October Tile
Confederate museum has just been
enriched by the addition Of two eases
Of relics: formerly the property of
Jefferson Davis, the president of the
Confederacy. Some have been given,
others lent, by Mrs. Davis and Mrs.
Hayes, and they form priceless col
lection.
In accordance with wish expressed
by Mrs. Davis, the large case contain
ing the presidents personal property
will be placed in the Mississippi room,
and a smaller case, containing letters,
testimonials and portraits will be cx-
hibited in the solid South room. The
suit Of furniture has not yet been as
signed to any special place. nor will it
be until the matter has been consider
ed by the society. The most inter
esting relics, in fact, have been placed
in the Mississippi room. They are
contained in large, square case: six
feet or more in height. The suit of
clothes which Mr.. Davis wore when
he was captured hangs there. The
frock coat is made of gray cloth, with
velvet collar, and the trousers are of
the same material. The suit has been
much worn, and bears evidences OF
long service by the absence of several
buttons from the coat aud the imprint
of the presidents knees in the trou-
sers.
The old family Bible rests on the
bottom of the case, lying open at the
registry Of marriages, births and
deaths. Near it is the small Bible
sent by the president while prisoner
at Fort Monroe to his son.
The prayer book used by Mr.. Davis,
with his autograph on the fy-leaf, is
a very rare and valuable one, since it
contains special prayer for the Con-
federate States Congress. No less a
sum than $4,000 has been offered for
this particular book, and refused by
Mrs. Davis.
A very quaint and rather pathetic
souvenir is a small silver thimble be-
queathed by sister of charity upon
her dcathbed to Jefferson Davis, Jr.
1t was the sum total Of the good nuns
earthly possessions, and she left it to
the boy she had nursed through Sc
rious illness, to whom she was de-
voted.
Side by side with the thimble is the
gold watch which belonged to Prin-
cess Charlotte Of England, and was
presented to Miss Winnie Davis dur
ing her visit to England. The match
box used by the president; box he
had kept at the head Of his bed, for
cigars; his cigar-holder, and dress
ing case which he always carried in
his valise are among the most inter
esting features of the exhibit.
Perhaps the most striking relic,
however. is the bandage made by Mrs.
Davis to screen her husbands eyes
from the glare of light while he Ian
guished in Fort Monroe. The last
gloves worn by Mr.. Davis are pressed
and carefully folded, showing how
small his hand was. His keys, upon
key ring; matchbox Of carnelian,
presented to him by .Welshmen; case
for his scissors, made by his wife; his
eyeglasses and polishcr, made by a

Great Undertaking.

n scheme TO engage Cne OHlIeu
States government in the business OF
reclaiming the great body Of arid lands
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky Mountains will certainly not
go through without opposition. 1t is
already urged that for the government
to add O,OOO,0 900 tillable acres to the
land already in cultivation would ere
ate competition with the present agri-
>sulturists, lower the price Of produce
and work untold evils. There is no
occasion for alarm. The government
will never, with its own money, re-
claim 100000 acres of land, nor
1000, 900 acres. twill make surveys
and measurements and reports and
publish many tons of reading matter
about irrigation and the water supply
from the heavens above and the earth
beneath and the reservoirs under the
earth, but the United States will never
directly and by its own means make
aly present desert to bloom as the
rose.
Yet, without the aid of the federal
government or any other government,
a great proportion of the 10000, 900
acres will, in the course of century
or so. be transformed, because man is
impelled to that sort of work by what
seems a strange fascination. He is
seldom satisfied with the fertile and
productive acres which are already his.
He wishes to reclaim OF restore some
thing. The swamp that may be made
productive by the use of its own
weight in fertilizers; the sandy plateau
that may be enriched by plowing under
green and growing vegetation-these
visions will not let the agricultural
conqueror sleep.
This indomitable and aggressive
American character, not the govern
ment of the United States. will settle
the arid land question. The word has
gone out that these lands possess all
the natural elements Of fertility, and
all they lack is water, and the reply
has come back that they shall have
the one thing needful. While the
government has been surveying and
reporting and publishing pamphlets
on the various systems Of irrigation
employed in the Lower Nile and Up
per Congo and the citizens have been
divided into two camps, one abusing
the government for not irrigating and
the other for thinking of engaging in
irrigation next, the practical part OF
the business has been begun by in
dividuals and private corporations.
Hundreds and thousands OF miles OF
bitches have been constructed in Cali
fornia without any government aid,
and the Mormons have saved, by work
and water, countless acres that before
would not have supported the family
of katydid.
The American is not, ike the an
cient Egyptian or modern Mexican, a
natural born irrigator. He has not
been brought up to the business, but
if it must be doue and it pays, and as
there are only 7O,OOO,OOO acres to be
attended to; he will look after it, and
the government can help or let it

A P~ERpLExING OUTCOME.
Yesferday's Game Seems to Have Been
a Tie.

For lays to come there Is likely TO be no
end of discussion as TO which club actually
won yesterdays game. Ii was decided two
ways by Umpire Mannassau. while Man
ager Comiskey, OF ST. Paul, claims two
ways by which st. Paul won the game. and
admits nc way by which Indianapolis could
win or by which the game could remain a
tie. Comiskey claims st. Paul. in the first
place. won the game by a score Of IL TO II.
In the event of the umpire declaring the
score was a tie at II TO u, which Mannassau
did. Comiskey claims st. Paul should then
be given the game 9 TO o because of inter-
ference OF the crowd. An expert in baseball
technicalities. who saw yesterdays game.
said last night that Mannassau's decision
declaring the game a tie was undoubtedly
correct. and explains the situation as fol-

hit to right. turned and saw Spies reach
home from third. then threw up his hand.

was the only player In the field who saw
the delicate point and was shrewd enough
TO make the play at second and secure a
decision from Mannassau. Thus Mannas-
sau's second decision was correct and the
game was legally a tie, for the simple rea-
neglected to run to second base after being
forced off first"
The question of crowd interference will
probably figure in Comiskey's protest. which
he declares he il now forced to make. The
home team is compelled under the rules to
furnish enough police protection TO keep the

Mannassau. ii is said. claims that there was
not enough police yesterday to make the
crowd retire to the bleachers. He was at
fault for not going ahead with the tenth
inning. but was probably afraid of the
crowd. 1t Is possible that this might re-
sult in the league giving the game to st.
Paul, but, as there was no demand on the
part of the Saints to have the grounds
cleared during the ninth inning, the league
committee may decide that both clubs We're
TO blame and will order the game played
over.

No Automobiles for Him-Western
League Prospects.

W. II. Watkins. "Watty," the popular ex-
manager of the Indianapolis baseball club.
arrived in town yesterday, and, true to his
old love. spent the afternoon at the baseball
game. He was discovered last night in the
lobby of the Grand Hotel engaged in an
animated discussion with Manager Comiskey
and Second Baseman Glenalvin. of the st.
Paul club. over the unexpected ending Of
the afternoons game. When asked as TO
the truth of the report that he was to be-
come connected with an automobile company
TO operate in Indianapolis Mr.. Watkins
broke into a laugh and said that the idea
was absurd. why. I have never in the
wide world had any intention of going into
the automobile business" he declared. land
I can't understand how or where that report
originated. The person who started 1t must
have been tampering with the proverbial
pipe. I am in indianapolis on some private
business. which will probably keep me here
over Monday. As soon as my business here
is completed / will leave for Detroit. and
from there i expect TO go TO my home up in
Michigan. where III put in most of the sum-
mer fishing and taking things easy.
Have you withdrawn from baseball alto

up my mind to retire from the management
Of the club for personal reasons, which
would not be of much interest TO any one

Mr.. Watkins then spoke of the present race

thusiastic. 1T is the prettiest struggle i'm

MORE PEOPLE EMPLOYED.


ALBANY, N. Y, Tune u.-That there is
a decided Improvement throughout the
State Of employment in nearly all indus-
tries. with the exception of the building
trades, is shown by the first quarterly bull
letin just issued by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the quarter ending March 81.
In May the bureau made inquiries of lead
ing manufacturers of the State concerning
the condition of business. Their answers
are summarized in about twenty-five re-
ports. Five reported an advance of bust
ness since the 1st of January: fourteen
others reported an increase Of working
force, while only three reported a declin-
ing or stationary business. The industries
most favorably situated were the iron and
steel industries. clothing. canned goods, CT
gars and lumber.
The trades union returns on employment
for the quarter ending March 81 show the
following comparisons for the corresponding
period in 1895: Number of unions. l.l56. as
against l:e4s for last year sI an increase Of ,e l9 g:
are men and T.2S1 women, as against 1s9, e55
last year. a decrease of 6.43s; number of
Lrsmployed on March 81. 1853. as against
unemployed during entire quarter, 22.659. as
against 1922 last year. an increase of 4,55I.
showed an Improvement over those of 1897.
the improvement since 1898 has not been so
noticeable. Improvement among the male
workers is especially noticeable in the
clothing and iron and steel industries. and
the percentages Of idleness among employees
of street railways on March 81 of this year
was almost reduced to naught.
A comparison of the earnings OF men and
women in the entire State shows that 6S.2
per cent. of them earned between so and
SIPS during the quarter, while 37.s per cent.
earned between SIS and 800; the number
that earned over $50 in the quarter equiv
alent to 81 a day. was insignificant. On the
other hand, more than one-hasf the men
(56.7 per cent? earned over $50 each.

Yesterdays ball game between the
Hoosiers and the set sarcastically called the
Saints was a conglomerate of hits. boots.
bowls. Kicks earnest work by several as
sistant umpires and q high old time gener-
ally. Large trainloads of well-wishers, Of
whom there are a whole plenty since the
home club won three straight. came out as
far as Oriental street and walked the rest
of the way, getting warmed up and wrath
full. The grand stand was plentifully be-
sprinkled with Sunday dresses and summer
hats. and likewise there was a sizeable pro-
portion OF naturai-born bleacherites, who
brought their language and ancient gags to
bear from the grand stand with an undue
amount of noise. The game started with
nine men and an umpire in the field. and
wound up with about a thousand occupying
prominent positions on the diamond and
asking one another what was the matter
and what was necessary to do to save our
honor intact-also the game, especially the
latter. AS some statesman remarked m the
days when it took a command of language
to be a statesman. 1T was a halcyon and
vcciferous time"
The game stood eleven 10 five in favor OF
the Saints in the first half of the ninth.

runs TO make a dozen. Then, in the Ian

lowed with a hit badly handled by Hog

The Hoosiers held. however. that Fisher
was forced out at first by Burke and the
side was out. and after the crowd had
swarmed into the field and made it impossi-
BILE to continue the game. Mannassau de-
cided the side out and the game a tie.

was the order Of the day. Indianapolis
seven runs in the ninth were made after
Beville had been retired on a short one by
Preston to first. "Dibhy'' Flynn was put in
to bat for Scott and opened with a hit, and

seventh inning and caught 1t well up toward
his hand. The ball rebounded violently and
struck him just behind the ear. knocking
him senseless. II was over fifteen minutes
before he moved a muscle. He recovered
enough to sit up at the expiration of about
twenty minutes and was able to walk of
