Globe vs. San Carlos.

played here last Sunday between Globe and San Carlos, on what by courtesy is still known as the "ball grounds, and which hy the way, while quite de. sirahle for building purposes. presents Q very limited field of action for ball game. This was very forcibly brought to the attention of large and entbus- iastic crowd of spectators when Floyd Blevius knocked ball into left field, through the open door of a house, breaking looking glass, npsetting the coffee pot and raising Cain generally. To the two tielders of the 25th 1nfan- try, as in the fight at San Juan, obsta- clss ip the shape of slammed door and stubborn resistance on the part of the lady of the huuse, only increased their ardor, and to make things sure, both piled n the aud second later, triumphantly emerged with the ball the crowd yelled and Biev,ns grinned.
 As to the game itself while there were some rank plays on both sides, there were many good ones to offset them. It was close and interesting throughout and the result was ulwa, iu doubt until the last huff of the niutL inning, when through streak oi heavy batting by the home nine, tht visitors found themselves up against ' forlorn hope, with lead of five rum to overcome; the most costly error tt the visitors, letting in at least four rnni through a huff followed by VII, throw to first.
 The Carlos nine were splendidl, represented in left field, at short stol third oase aud behind the bat.
 For Globe the stars probably con. sisted of the hnttery, Blevlus iu cen ter field and Treu at first base; hotl rreu and Blevins have now played two games without an error.
 The score wss l7 to l2 in favor o ii!obe. an it Is understood that csnsid erable money changed hands ou tn, result. It has not beeu decided wh . tue next game will he played.
 Mir. A. Redewill returned from So morn day or so ago and repnts tIIaI he sold gs many iauos iu Sonora (l5) ID three weeks as he has sold iu Phue. nix in three months. He also sold c fine $l5O0 church organ of the famous Mason & Hamlin make, which is so de. servediy popular. He says Sonors seems to be very prosperous st the present. time, aud her people want iothing hut the best That probably accounts for the way they fall over ..ch other to bny from Redewill. When it c"mes to the music trade and nusiu,s ss in general, Redewill is nat. araI born Svengali. aud prospective nuyers canuot get away from him. | Phoenix Herald.

"SLIPPERY JIM, SENTENCED,
He Has Spent Most of His Life in
PrisOng.

John Moran of Lewis county New York

ing a special examiner of the pension Of

p&ftion of swindling pensioners. He states
that there are lots of persons throughout
the country who are receiving pensions
who are more entitled thereto than
so many Eskimos, and that he considers
them fair game.

Proposed Summer Camp for Troops
Brought From Cuba.
A large delegation from Atlanta, Ga,
waited on Secretary Alger at the War De-
partment yesterday and requested that
some of the troops which are to be- brought
back from Cuba during the next few
months be pat in summer camp at Atlanta.
The delegation included Mayor ]. G. Wood

Bullock and Messrs. H. II. Cabaniss f. p
Rice, l. s. Mitchell, Joseph Jacobs Wyl:e
Pope, P. H. Smith, Il. e. Fielder, r. F. Mat

Secretary Alger promised to give thor
ough consideration to their suggestion, and

INCREASE IN PAPER MONEY.
Result OF Growth in Volume of HuSi-

Ny. Dawes the controller of the currency,
in answer to inquiries in regard to the ap-
parent scarcity of paper money, said:
The chief reason for the growing de-
mand for paper money is unquestionabiy
the inertase' iii the general volume of bust
ness. There has been no reduction in the
amount of paper money which of itself
would cause scarcity. The situation in
reference to bills is brought about by the
increase in the demand and not by de-
crease in the supply.
THE amount of paper money in circula-
ton March l. 1899, is much greater than it
was one year ago While the decrease in
c,rcula ton in the amount of gold certiti-
Gates is So, $50; in treasury notes, 81 ,259,
971 and IN currency certificates, SO 81 600
the circulation OF silver certificates has in
creased in the sum of 6,113,21S and Unit
ed States notes by S44, 141 ,2l2, making the
total net increase of government paper
money in circulation $2I 1876 ,569, which,
added to the increase of SIS, 155 1896 in ma
tional bank circulation, makes the total In
crease of paper money in circulation over
one year ago, $40 $50 ,904.'

If Major General Ludlow desires to be re-

the city of Havana, reported in the
morning dispatches from Havana, the Off
cials of the War department say he has
not informed them of it. The story was
that he is weary of the details of city ad-
miuistration. Inasmuch as he was special
l. assigned to the work of reforming the
municipal affairs OF Havana and to intro.
duce d system of sewerage and sanitation

Of such work. 1t is stated at the War De-
