GOSSIP OF THE BALL MEN
Old Timers Practicing For the.Clos
 ing Games.

The old time ball players are prac- ticing daily and many of the veterans are developing much ability. It is hoped to get in condition within a few weeks, to play the DaMund team. They have complete new equipment. Nose Kelly has succeeded White as captain of the Tucson team. Kelly is well known by Phoenix fans.
 The DeMund team is now in active practice and is showing great improve ment. Brawley has been assigned to second base and plays the position like professional. He is one of the best in the territory. Voorhees and Brawley make a great team and it is very sell dom anything goes through their ter ritOry.
 WOrmell, on third. has had better success playing that position than any one in Phoenix. Rippey's play on first base is a credit to any one Rippey is also a heavy striker.
 Hart. Sweeney and Bettler who play in the fields. are playing great ball and much is expected of them
 Collins is getting into shape very fast. also developing great speed and new curves. Collins no doubt will do some great work this season.
 IL is useless to say anything in regard t. San Joaquin valley whirlwind. for every one knows his reputation as a twirler. Base ball cranks will have an opportunity ;o witness one of the best games of the season Sunday.
 The Has Beens" had a practice game yesterday which resulted in few skinned fingers and blistered hands. But they proved that the old base ball fire was still in tn m and they have not yet forgotten the curves or the fine points. There will be some ball playing her shortly" said one of them last night. and these youngsters will not be doing il all, either" The Has Beens' are not fully organized, but their lineup so far as it has been made is as follows: Clune. catcher; Kruger, pitcher; Conner. shortst5p; Watts. first base; Wood, second base; Walbridge third base: Graf, left field.
 There are two or three more places to fill and they will require a number of substitutes, al least till they get their muscles toughcned up a bit. To fill these places and for a reserve force they have the following list. every one OF them a former star player: Messrs.

tence of death. and Constable Charles p. Ainsworth were killed in the course of visit for the purpose of serving a warrant of arrest upon them in which they were charged with shooting cattle 3n the range. The complainant was a man named Buck Smith. a cattleman of that neighborh hood. Smith now swears that h. was informed by Moore that the Haldemans shot the cattle. but he is in possession of later evi- dence that the shooting was done by Moore. evidently for the purpose of throwing the blame upon the Halde- mans. with the elder of whom. William Haideman, he was at enmity.
 It is also learned that the singular in- flus nee which has been brought in Texas to bear on behalf of these broth CTS now includes Governor Roosevelt and Hon. Timothy l.. Woodruff of New York. How they became interested in the case is not known. but both have written the president and the depart ment of justice about it. urging a com mutation. It is said that this is the first time on record that a whole state has ever risen up 10 save the life of a man condemned to be hanged or that men or natlOnal repCtHilOn nave ever interceded for men Of whom they knew nothing except by hearsay. Delegate Dennis T. Flynn of Oklahoma. who was in the city OF Wednesday, was among those who visited Washington 10 urge a reprieVe for the Haldemans. Speaking of lhe case incidentally. he said the whole Lone Star state is in tenSely interested in the fate of the broth ITS notwithstanding all their immediate relatives are as poor as it is possible fer them to be. The only connection who has any property is an uncle by marriage. He owns a farm worth about $5.O0O and he placed a mortgage to pay the expense attending the efforts to be made to save his nephews. The lawyers and congress- men who have traVeled many thou sands of miles from Texas to Arizona and from Texas to Washington have not charged q cent for their time and services. though their actual travelling expenses have been paid out of the money raised by that mortgage

THE CITY COUNCIL
A Change In the Dog Catching De
 partment

A special meeting of the city council was held yesterday afternoon. at which many things, the most of them not of overwhelming importance. were undel consideration. The most momentous perhaps. was the case of G. w. Brooks the regularly ordained and official dog catcher ineXtraordinary to the City ot Phoenix. In the early part of his of ficial career MT. Brooks. who, by tht way was the only republican within the corporate limits holding an ap- pointive office. was diligent. industri- ous and merciful officer. His associates however. were all democrats. and Mir Brooks. who is easily led astray. ret rograded. The dogs became fewer ana hard to catch. so that the financial in Centive to a faithful performance of his official duties grew less and less strong and the business of the department of dog catching came to be sadly neglect ed. The Republican yesterday morning published a story about five dogs which had been kept In the pound so long without food and water that the fom larger dogs relieved their hunger by dividing the smallest one among them. This story of cannibaIism was SO hor- X il yesterday morning by city officials. and it was found 10 be true. To an other large and influential class of citi- zens the story conveyed another kink of horror. They were the creditors of MT. Brooks. They had trusted him cu account of his repub!iCanism and earIA official record. But when they read about the mal-administration nf bis Af
 alarmed. They appeared at the city hall yesterday in large numbers with their claims. It transpired that the bal ance due Mr. Brooks was not so large that its withdrawal will financially embarrass the city. It was only S4 the price of the blood of eight dogs.
 Allowing dogs to eat each other up in self-preservation was bad enough in the opinion Of the council. but the leav- ing of unpaid debts was infinitely worse. That was calculated to tarnish the office of dog catcher position no, very lustrous at its best. MT Brooks was accordingly suspended and Will lam Moore was appointed to succeed him.
 The matter of the ordinance granting 10 Jasper Dobbs a franchise for mes senger call service. consisting of the flght to erect poles. string wires upon them and put in call boxes. was taken up. The council beheld in the ordin- ance the possibility of telephone or telegraph franchise. It was allowed to lie over for further consideration.
 Councilman Fickas introduced an ordinance defining the rights of the road, requiring all persons on horse back or in any vehicle drawn by q horse. mule, or any of their kindred to keep to the right. under a severe pen atty, separate and apart from the dan ger of collision.

WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.

one-third in value what they were in 1875 vybJlA ";
the decade SS0ls00 exports of woolen manufactures
have more than trebled. During the eight months
ending August g. 1900 the imports of woollen manu-
lectures amounted to S2OS 9S against $40 667O44 in
eight months OF 1885 and $29544O94 in the oorre-
spending eight months of 1886. The average annual
importation Of woollen manufactures during tho
decade from 1890 to 1900 has been S 600 the bgb
water mark having been reached in the wear 1Sq5
when the total was S4G,667 OA During that ana tho
succeeding two years the importatiops wera very
heavy averaging for the period nearly $50 900 600 for
the eight months period of each year: but since
that date the importations have constantly de-
creased until in the years 1885, 1899 and 1900 they
reached their lowest level averaging during the
eight months of each year about $1l 100000 Thus n
VIII be seen that the importations woollen manu-

WAGES FLUCTUATIONS.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES FOR TEN YEARS PRE

washington, Oct. A-Carron D. Wright. Com
missioner Of Labor, has issued a bulletin giving O
summary or data In a previous publication on
trusts and Industrial Combinatio - showing the
rate Of wages in various occupations for a perfod
extending back in most cases from the present year
to 1881. The data were secured directly from the
p@yroLs or establishments in all sections of the
country. The information contained pertains TO 14S
establishments, representing twenty-six industries
and 1872 occupations Those items for which data
Tor the whole period were not given were excluded
from consideration in the summary. All the data
included except those for mining, relate to manu-
featuring industries, the data relative to steam
railroads and street railways having been excluded
from the summary. The bulletin says that while
the data from which the table Of wages was pre-
pared do not afford the basis for a strictly scen-
the calculation Of relative wages. a careful exam
fnaton of the figures leads TO the belief that they
are fairly representative, and undoubtedly approx
mate closely the actual conditions for the whole
