figures, making Is runs. Shaw bowled
very successfully for the sailors, taking
six wickets. The Pacific innings closed
for 81 runs. and thus the match resulted
in a tie. c. Simmonds, formerly of the
Citrus Colony, Placer County, did good
service for the Pacifics, bowling three

cessful courses, and Luxor, having had
comparatively easy chases, was in much
better condition.
The first course of the afternoon. with
Lawrence and Theron in the slips, was of
particular interest, as both the dogs have
been the winners of the last two stakes
Theron sold a to favorlte but the
fraternity fell hard when Lawrence got
the flag. There were number of short
ends during the afternoon, but no very
heavy odds were risked in any of them
In the second round, Lawrence and
False Flatterer went to slips twice before
q decision was given. The last of the two
courses was long and exciting. The match
between Victor Queen and Emin Pasha
was short.

May and Interesting. The reason for
such dissension was the fact that Inter
citing having become unSighted when
he left the slips had just recovered him
self when the kill was made and the de-
cision given to Mercy May. The course
was so short that many of the spectators
believed the dogs had not even met and
expected no decision. However one was
given and there was general disap-
proval.

the dogs all showed up in good form.

AGUINALDo,S BROTHER.

1t is reported from the Philippines
that Baldomero Aguinaldo brother Of
the Filipino leader, is to be shot for
embezzling $4,000 of the Filipino
money and escaping to the American
lines. Thus it will be seen that Agui-
naldo, the leader, will not interfere
with the death penalty to be imposed
upon Aguinaldo, the traitor and en-
bezzler. The stole fortitude of this
leader of the Filipinos will be held up
to the admiration of the world. or of
the "anti-imperialists, and his stock
will be perceptibly doomed.
But Aguinaldo, the leader, if he
stretches his thinking faculties little,
can recall the time when he left the
island and took something like $400, 900
himself and never gave an account of
the appropriation to his fellow-Fili-
pinos. He should be grateful that he
was not at the mercy of an authorita-
tive brother when he returned from
Hong Kong and again took his place
at the head of the army. He is grow
ing punctilious, this Filipino leader.
That is, he is growing punctilious about
other people 1t will be long time,
possibly, before he reaches the point
where conjunction will lead him to
give himself over to justice.

YESTERDAYS RACE,

If there is a fair sailing breeze to-
day, it will probably end this series of
international yacht races, for the trials
have demonstrated that the Columbia
is superior 20 the Shamrock in every
particular. The race yesterday was
something of a procession, as the white
boat was never headed during the race,
and finished fully three miles ahead of
the Shamrock in a light breeze, in
which the Shamrock is supposed to ex-
eel.
The cup is safe, and people are won
dering as they have after each inter-
national race, why they ever permitted
themselves to think that it was in dan
ger, except through some accident to
the defender The Shamrock and the
old Defender would be very evenly
matched, and so it appears that Brit
ish yacht designers have not succeeded
in improving upon their record Of the
past. The Americans have kept just
one boat ahead of them

INDUSTRIOUS FEE.

Here is some very interesting in
formation relative to Judge William H.
Moore, the promoter of the many steel
combines and very prominent factor
in the organization of the American
Steel & Wire company. At the inquiry
made at the industrial commission in
Washington, Mr.. Reed, president of
the American Tin Plate company, said
that Judge Moore had organized the
company and had received for his serv-
ices $1O,0O0,0OO worth of the common
stock. That Is probably about as large
a fee as man can hope for under the
most favorable conditions. 1t is a very
good indication of the sums paid out
in the organization Of these great in
dustrial combinations, and it would be
a very interesting bit of news to the
holder of the American Steel & Wire
if the commission would only ascertain
how much he received for his services
in that particular work. The promo
ters get the best of it in these great
combinations and the stockholders pay
for it in the long run.

ARMENIAN ORPHANS.

II any appeal in the way Of foreign
missions was calculated to touch the
heartstrings and purse-strings of those
who listened, it certainly must have
been that of Miss Emily C. Wheeler at
the Christian Endeavor meeting held
In Springfield "The Armenians," she
said, became the first Christian ma
ton and in spite of the fortunes of the
fire worshippers and others, they stood
fast to their religion. The Christians
that permitted the Armenian outrages
should provide for the $4,000 orphans
who have been left there, and of whom
only six thousand have been
cared for. You in America who
do not know what poverty is-if
you should give $25 per year, you
would provide for these children,
clothe them and keep them in an or
phanage"

sENSELESs PERFORMANCE,

Mrs. Lindsay, the bicycle crank, fin
ished her 800 mile-ride yesterday morn
ing, completing it in 81 hours, gaining
weight and ending in good shape. Her
pulse, though, was 106 when it should
have been 80. Her knees and wrists
were swollen and infamed. Even in
the lay mind the deduction is easily in
ferred that such a long ride will I'LL
timately have it's injurious results.
Mrs. Lindsay does not seem to mind
it much and says she is glad she did
it, but the hardest thing was to keep
cheerful, 81 did so," said she, 80 L
could say so, and it was of just as
much use as the yacht races" Such
silly statement needs no comment.
She has returned to her usual house

all along the ride. 1t is apparent
enough that he was not sufficiently
near by, to save her from a senseIess

The growth of American street rail-
ways is something phenomenal almost
judging by the present number of the
Street Railway Journal, devoted to
street railway practice. 1t contains
440 pages and weighs about five pounds,
and ought to give some solid informa-
ton. One feature which stands out
worthy of particular observation is
nearly so pages of advertising of Euro
pean houses for business outside of the
United States. Nothing could better il
lustrate the close attention given to
American street railways by foreign
engineers. The tributes given Ameri-
can inventors and the operators of street
railways, is not less notable than the
growing tendency of foreign street rail-
way men to avail themselves of the
improved practice of American street
railway men.

than that he received at Worces-

with so much fervor that he had an
excuse for giving several encores, had
he been so inclined. 1t is amusing to
read the concluding sentences of a dis

SQUAW MEN REBUKED.

A singing rebuke was admins
tered to the Squaw men at their Chi
cago ghost dance, by patriotic woman.
This was the only incident of the meet
ing which newspapers considered wor-
thy Of space. At the close of an address
by Rev. Herbert D. Bigelow of Gin
cinnati, in which he bitterly denounced
the president and his policy in the Phil
ippines, she stepped into the aisle and
shouted: Take down that flag. Don't
let the American flag be desecrated any
longer!" Taking a step forward and
yanced, she continued: II am the
daughter of one soldier, the sister of an
other, and the wife of another. To
sit here and hear that flag DETAINED, is
more than I car stand. Oh, it is shame
full! shameful"
She then left the hall. 1t is unfor-
tunate that she refused to give her
name to the repo rters, for she de-
serves to go down the ages with Bar
bara Freitchie. Her utterances were
not less heroic than
Shoot, if YOU must, this old, gray
but spare yoar country's flag, she
said"
Stonewall Jackson's soldiers were
gentlemen. For it is related of them
that they respected he woman if they
did not the flag. The Squaw men
treated neither TIE flag nor the woman
with respect, for Tie reports of the in
cident state that her protests against
their defamation of the stars and
stripes were greeted with a storm Of
Kisses, and shouts of Put her out!"
She stated to the reporters that sac
was a Chicago woman, and 81 hope"
she continued, that 1 have voiced the
sentiment of every woman in the hall.
I think nave OF the women of Chi
cago."
Let the name of this patriotic woman
be known. In these days of Squaw
men and ghost canoes for the purpose
of promoting treason, the name of sulh
a woman should be given to the world,
to shame men who permit the flag to
be insulted without a word of protest.
