Dearer to the heart of Major General

all his honors and lionizing Is the ranch
he owns near Bakersfield and to which no

he will be retired by the operation of the

One of the generals fads is the breed
ing, Matching and raising of chickens, and
when he makes ono of his periodical visits
of inspection to his ranch his first thought
is always for the poultry department. The
distinguished citizen who presidcs over

ested in the study of the Y rays.

THE RALEIGH PEARL.
Found In an AnteprnndinI Clam by N
Lucky PhipadeIphia Councilman.

Councilman j. X. G. McAllister of the
First ward, chairman of the Dewey day
celebration, in u most singular manner
has become the lucky posscssor of mag
niflcent pearl of such value Tint the exact
amount has only yet been guessed Mt by
leading jewelers. of this city.
ON the evening Of Dewey day, while tho
officers of the cruiser Raleigh were being
dincd at the Hotel Walton, Mr.. McAllis-
ter, in virtue of his office, presided at the
board. Tho first course was clans, of
which the councilman is passionately fond.
Deity impaling one OF the toothsome BIZ
valves upon fork, he lost little time in
transferring it to his mouth. His teeth
closed heavily upon his favoritc delicacy,
and the equanimity of the table was tho
next moment startled by a smothcrcd
ejaculation. All eyes were upon the city
father as, clappng his hand to his lips
he removed n hard, shining object, which,
imbedded in the body Of the clam, had
nearly cost him tooth or two.
The luster of the substance he had Bit
ten upon aroused the curiosity of the dis
tinguished company 1t was recognized
at once as a jewel and was passed rapidly
from hand to hand. Councilman John
Lang of the Twenty fourth ward, also n
committeeman, who is recognized expert
on precious stones, at once pronounced it
to be pearl and one of great price Sub
sequent developments have proved it to be
SO.
A happy inspiration seized Captain
Coghlan when the verdict was passed by
Mr.. Lang
ALLOW mo to christen your find" he
said to Mr. McAllister Hereafter let it
be known as the Raleigh pearl, and the
| Raleigh pearl it has become, which is the
primary reason why patriotic McAllister
! solcmnly aflirms that he will never con-
sent to part with it.
In shape the pearl is oval, one-eighth Of
| an inch in diameter At first it was of "a
peculiar light brown color but since it
! has been treated to sun baths and other
arts of the trade this has given way to "a
most dazzling whiteness of a peculiarly
pellucid tone. Experts have estimated its
value at SO, 600. Lieutenant Commander
Phelps of the Raleigh, who is an ardent
enthusiast on the subject of precious
stones and quite a collector OF the same,
admits that the Raleigh pearl Is the finest
which has ever come under his observa-
ton. Mr.. McAllister has contracted ia

monds and mounted as a scarfpin. Phil

GAMES TODAY.

The Quakers captured two games from
the Senators yesterday. The visitors sim
ply played better ball than the locals. and
this alone is the cause of The fact that
Philadelphia is again back in third place.
In the first contest the Senators outbat-
ted their opponents. but lost the game
through miserable fielding. In the sec
ond, Piatt was the insurmountable ohsta-
Gle that prevented Senatorial victory.
Both games were highly exciting and were
thoroughly enjoyed by crowd Of 1900
persons.
The first game was 4 slugging match.
and during the two hours and quarter
which it lasted four pitchers were severe
ly punished. Weyhing and Donahue were
the twiriers when the game began, and
when it was all over Dinneen and Bern
hard were serving the ball to the batiers.
The tabulated score does not explain the
Senator'S defeat. They secured fifteen
hits to their opponents twelve, but it is
in the error column that the tale is told
Padden and Cassidy were the main Of
tenders. but Bonner also contributed his
little mite In the second inning the local
shortstop threw wild to first base and two
runners had crossed the plate before the
ball could be felded. In the sixth inning
Cassidy let a thrown ball go by. and two
more taiiies went to the Quakers' credit
before the sphere could be run down.
Atherton was the star performer in the
field, and made play the memory OF
which will be cherished by all who saw it.
He ran from his position at third base TO
the grandstand, and while bending over
the railing caught the ball. The specta-
tors were too astonished for the moment
to appreciate the play, but when they re-
allied its difficulty the cheering was ter
rife.
The second game was pitchers battle,
with Piatt doing most of the fighting. The
left handed Quaker pitched magnificent
ball, and two singles and a double IVES
the Senator's portion. The game was
characterized by good fielding on both
sides, Cooley's work at first and Barry's
performance at left being especially note
worthy. The scores:
