RED SUITS a 100000.
Santa Ee Shop Team From Topeka
Defeated by Scranton BAH Players.

About forty rooters and base ball en-
thusiasts from the Santa Fe shops, to-
geuher with their base ball team, climb
ed aboard the noon train Saturday,
pound for Scranton, where they eN-
pected to wipe up the earth with the
Scranton team. At about the same
time there were about ten times that
many base ball fans, together with their
favOrite team, cOngregated at the depot
at Scranton, waiting for the Topeka
contingent to arrive so that, as they
said, they could begin doing business
with the Topeka team and give them
a rev pointers on how to play ball. They
did not have long to wait, for the train
was on time and the Topeka boys were
with it.
1t took only a short time to get things
together and get off the train. When
everything was in readiness the two
teams started for the scene of battle,
while the trusted followers of the teams
brought up the rear. The end of the
journey was soon reached, for they all
arrived at an old cornheld just at the
edge of town, which was plentifully
supplied with weeds and tall corn
stalks. This was to be, or rather, this
was the base ball field of Scranton.
VIII Sherman was chosen umpire and
the teams were soon at it hot and furi-
Gus. The Scranton team did not seem
to be in it. They could not find the
ball and Invariably got switched off on
the wrong track when they started for
the bases. Up to the fifth inning the

Santa Fe boys, as Dan Shannon stepped
to the plate and spat on his hands. The
bases were all full. The pitcher step
ped up on one toe and with a few ex-
ira. gyrations started the ball towards
Dan. Dan saw the ball coming and
knocked it over the fence. With a
bow to the crowd acknowledging the
mighty cheer that went up in his be-
half Dan walked around to the third
base and sat down. He could get no
farther. The strain of bringing in three
men and making a three base hit was
too much for him, and he sat down to
rest while the rest of the team hunted
for the ball He was finally prevailed
upon to come in home.
The inning was finished and the Santa
Fe team was confident of victory. Their
score was almost double that of Scran-
ton. The game was getting uninter-
esting. They changed batteries and
their luck changed also. From that
time they could not figure out where
they were. The ball was not where
they thought it was when they attempt
ed to find it. The Scranton team was
piling up a score which was fearful to
behold and when the final count was
had in the ninth inning the Scranton
team had won by a score of % to IA

I was attacked with pain in the small

A DISCIPLE OF D'ANNUNZIO

IRome Cor. of the Pail Mall Gazette.l
It would seem as though the Apostle

d'Annunzio, the we'll known author, had
already followers. The other day there
arrived in Rome, bareheaded and on
foot. a young man, tall and broad
backed, with sunburned face. hair curl
ing on his shoulders, wearing sandals,
and clad from head to foot in SpOtless
white, his garment being not unlike the
IOga in shape, but more rOOmy. This
strange and arreSting figure attracted
the attention of the idlers in the street,
but he went on calmly, apparently I'M
conscious of the interest he excited.
To the question as to why he dressed
in that manner he replied animatedly:

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Reported " Cut Off" of the
Santa Fe on the PecOs Line
To Albuquerque Is Discussed
by Las Vegas Optic.
A FAVORED PROJECT
With the Santa Fee, Because Of
the Lighter Grades.
Means Big Bid For the Gulf
of Mexico Trade.

Speaking of the rumor that the Santa
Fe is to build the much talked of cutoff
from a point on the Pecos Valley line in
Guadalupe county, New Mexico, to
Ysleta Junction, near Albuquerque, the
Las Vegas Optic says:
The Santa F'e has had an extension
built to Amarillo, Texas, for some years
past. Woodward, Ok, is about half way
between wellington, Kan, and Amaril-
10, Texas. Quite recently the PecOs Val
ley & Northeastern was extended east
ward from Roswell, N. M, to Amarillo,
Texas, giving a direct outlet for the
products of the PecOs valley into Kan
the Pecos Valley & Northeastern rail-
road to Ysleta Junction Cor AlbuQuer-
que) would give the latter place two
routes to Kansas City and the east.
The project to build an extension of
the Santa F'e from Texas westward
a favorfte one with Santa Fe people for
many years past The advantage of the
route is found in the fact that it will
give easier grades and a shorter route
to the Pacific coast than at present eX-
lists The Santa Fe, if the scheme is
carried through, will be able to handle
business originating on the Gulf of
Mexico with destination points on the
Pacific coast.
Should the Santa Fe run it's transcon-
Texas, it is obvious that many New
Mexico points, including Las Vegas,
will no longer be on the main line of
the road Just what effect this will
have on the prosperity of the towns on
the present main line of the road, if the
theory thus outlined is founded on real
ity, remains to be seen.
The extension to Ysleta Junction
would probably run close to old Fort
Sumner or Puerto de Luna, Guadalupe

A MORAL TRIBE.
IFrom Pearson's weekly.1

IFrom PearSOn'S Weekly
In the whole wide world there is not
q class of people to be found who infict
severer punishment upon themselves
than the Caribs of Central America.
Their religion, which is one of the most
peculiar kind, demands self-punishment
Tor sins Intentionally or unintentionaIly
committed.
The punishment takes the form of
starvation and close confinement
If the sin be in the form of a lie. no
matter whether it is calculated to in
1ure another or not, the sinner goes
without either food or drink for three
days, at the end Of which it is believed
that the offender has paid the penalty
for his or her sin
disappearing and using bad language
IS punishabl by absolute starvation for
: days. Assault, drunkenness and 9TH
er serious sins call for four DAYS star
walton for one week, three days star
walton for the second week. two davs'
starvation for the third week and one
days starvation in the fourth week.
All sins are punished with starvation
For that reason crime is very low
among the Caribs, who are among the
oest-behaved and most truthful people
in the world.

Father Bradv Prevailed.

New York, July 31-The power of the
church was exemplifed in a striking
way in Jersey City today, when Father
Brady, of St. AIichaels, persuaded a
thousand freight handlers of the Penn
sylvania railroad not to go out on
strike. The men want an increase in
wages from II to 20 cents an hour, and
we're threatening to strike for it. The
clergyman harangued them for 10 or
Is minutes, and the striking fever died
out of the men. They began to think
that, after all. there might ,be some 9TH
er way of adjusting the difficulty, and
they dispersed with three cheers for
Father Brady.
