The four Sundays Of November are
observed as fete days in Holland. They
are known by the curious names Re
view. Decision. Purchase and Posses
sion and all refer to matrimonial af-
fairs, November In Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to court
ship and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations Of the
year are over and possibly because the
lords of creation from quite remote
antiquity have recognized the pleas
entness OF having wives to cook and
eater for them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church. and after service there is q
church parade Ia every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon each
other, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking n wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with ceremoni-
GUS bow and from her manner of re-
spending judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent of the parents is sought IL the
suit has prospered during the week.
Not until Possession Sunday, howev-
er, do the twain appear before the
world as actual or prospective brides
nnd grooms.-Denver News.

QuIclssnds hidden Under CIny.


Curious but dangerous freaks OF ma
turc frequently found in the deserts Of
Arizona ass called sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are mask
cd pitfalls Of quieksand that occur In
the dry plains and are covered with u
treacherous crust Of clay that has been
spread over them In fine particles by
the wind and baked dry by the sun.
The peculiar properties of the soil
retain all the moisture drained into
them after the infrequent rains and al
low II to be filtered TO unknown depths,
so that man or a horse or COW or
sheep that once steps upon that de-
ceptive crust instantly sinks out Of
sight beyond hope OF rescue. The
sumideros are on level with the sur.
face OF the desert. There is no dan
ger signal to mark them, and their
surface cannot be distinguished by the
ordinary eye from the hard clay that
surrounds them. They occur most fire.
quently in the alkali covered flats and
are often Is or 20 feet in diameter.
Sometimes they are only little pockets
or wells that a man can leap across,
but the longest pole has never found
their bottom. A stone thrown through
the crust sinks to unknown depths.
and no man who ever fell into one of
them was rescued. They account for
the mysterious disappearance of many
men and cattle.-Chicago Record.

BASEBALL TALENT.
What the Sporting News" Has to
Say Of Sacramento Players.


The St. Louis Sporting News" Of the
21st runs a fine portrait of Pop" Lock
head the supple shortstop from Sac
ramento, and has this to say of him:
Harry Lochhead. the shortstop of
the Cleveland club of the National
League. is a graduate of the famous
Gilt Edge team of Sacramento, Cal.
from which Brooklyn secured Pitcher
Hughes. Unfortunately for Lochhead,
he made his debut into National
League company with tail end team,
and he acquitted himself creditably un-
der the circumstances. Manager Quinn
speaks highly Of the Californian, whose
good arm enabled him to complete
many sensational plays by great throws
TO first. Lochhead batted at a .233 clip
in 1899. He will play ball on the Pa
cific Coast during the winter"
Lochhead arrived home Sunday and
will probably don a Gilt Edge uniform
in games yet to be played.
The same paper has this to say of
Tommy Sheehan the midget third base
man of the local team:
Some of the big league clubs have
their eyes on Midget Sheehan, who is
covering third for Sacramento. Presi-
dent Hart Of the Chicago club has in
structed his representative there to
watch Sheehan closely and not let any
other club grab him up"
Uncle Hank" Harris, the San Fran
cisco baseball magnate, has had his
eye on Tommy, and when last here
with his people he stated that he would
in another season be one of the best
third basemen in the country, and when
"Unole" speaks Eastern cranks listen.
Tommy Sheehan is Sacramento
product like Jay Hughes. He is a sen
of P. w. Sheehan, we'll known citizen.

ON TRUSTS.
Lecture by HI. Weinstock Before
Socialist Labor People.

The San Francisco Bulletin" says
an eloquent and scholarly address was
delivered by Colonel Harry Weinstock
OF Sacramento on Sunday night befofe
Liberty Branch of the Social LABOR
party, upon Government and trusts.
The lecture was a reply to the OFT
propounded question, will the trusts
Absorb the Government, or the GOV
ernment the Trusts?" Colonel Wein-
stock spoke as follows:
When the economic mind or TINS
country discovered that the competitive
industrial and commercial system was
most costly and destructive, and tnat
the competitive warfare was forcing up
the cost of production and of distr1ou-
tion to the highest maximum and re-
ducing the margin of profit to the min
imum by excessive undertaking, and
causing overproduction and Cutting
of the market, the remedy seemed 10
lie in overcoming the excessive compe-
tition
This could be done only by regu-
lating production and distribution. Such
regulation demanded united action on
the part of producers and distributors
and out of that desire sprang the or
ganization which soon became known
to the world as the trust.
'This new creation was a trust in
the proper sense of the word. 1t con-
sisted of a number of individuals,
chosen for their known character and
ability, to regulate the production and
distribution of certain wares in the in
terest of all concerned. Soon the cry
arose that the trust was inimical to
the best interests Of society; that Il
was a corruptor of the courts, of Leg
islatures and of public officials; that 1t
was an oppressor of labor and tended
to monopoly, which would wrong the
people and would in time absorb the
Government. So great was the hue and
cry that Congress was moved to estab-
lish an antitrust law, making the
formation Of trusts illegal
The world is so constituted that 1t
cannot afford to lose anything that
tends to the economy of production or
distribution. The march of progress is
onward and upward The world of to-
day is better than the world Of yes
terday The best human thought and
energy of the day is working and striv-
ing for the betterment of humanity.
Concentration of the powers of pro-
duction and distribution is one Of the
mediums for the making of such bet
terment. In the interest of society and
civilization it must and will go on. 1t
is wiser for us to accommodate our
selves to the newer conditions and help
them onward than to cry out against
them and obstruct them-better for our
own good, for the good of our country
and for humanity"
