Base Ball.

The base ball grounds were
dampened down today the second
time this week The management
this morning posted placards on
the grounds warning trespassers
to remain away from the outside
of the enclosure during the pro-
gress of game, and also stating
that if anyone is caught damaging
the property of the club they will
be dealt with to the full extent of
the law.
A new band stand, bleachers and
an addition to the grand stand are
all complete.
The secretary this morning tele-
graphed $50 to the Salida team,
the amount guaranteed them by
the locals in order to secure the
game here.
A new Spalding's official score
book arrived this morning 1t is
very complete and gives in detail
the National league points in bat
ting, also instructions for scoring.
1t has leaked out that the Salida
team will have either Lemke of
Denver or Lefty Jones of the
Western league, pitch for it tomor-
row and if this is the case Flor
ence will be up against it," But
then that need not worry the local
fans as long as our battery, Me-
Cluskey and Shields, are in the
game. Lemke and Jones are both
good twirlers and there is but one
superior to them in the state at
this time and that is Pop" Eyler
of the Denver league team.
The Florence boys seem very
confident of winning the game to-
morrow and thus adding the
twelfth victory to their record this
season.

This is the sort Of thing that the London
county council is now practically unani-
nous in endeavoring to get rid Of The
principal criticism that has been made OF
the councilmen's system Is that when they
pull down one Of these slums and build
model dwellings on the site the people who
come into the new are not those who were
driven out of the old. asked prominent
official of the council his opinion in the
matter.
He said: "It is true we don't get back
the people we turn out. but our theory Is
that as we are gradually wiping out the
worst slums, the refugees from each will
have to locate in a district that is a little
better than that from which they are
evicted, and so, as we work along. rebuild
ing district by district, We expect that even
the lowest of them will be raised gradually
little by little, to cleanliness and order and

LONDON. January T. 1901.
Every American city big enough to have

Will doubtless be interested IN the huge ex-
pertinent slow old London is undertaking.
And parenthetcally 1t may be observed
that city that is spending today more MIL
Hons on municipal Improvements. building
more miles of up-to-date underground cleo
trio roads and going in for probably more
municipal trading ventures than any other
city On earth is not slow as she is usually
painted.
The slum experiment now on Is nothing
less than the expenditure OF s10.000,000 in
wiping out and rebuilding the homes or
about 10000 people. a further program
that means expenditure of PROBABLY an
other ten millions is now being discussed,
and after these projects are well under
way new schemes will be planned 20 the
same end. and more millions spent until
the necessity for spending money in this
way IN London sha have disappeared and

Blessing the Danube.

From the London Express.
From time immemorial it has been the
custom In Roumania, at Christmas to
bless the Danube.
Formerly a scaffoldng was erected on the
frozen river, and on this was large cross
of ice but owing to the extraordinary num-
Der of people who presented themselves,
the ice frequently gave way, and many
were drowned. The ceremony now takes
place on the bank of the Danube. The
people, in recognition of the occasion, wear
turbans of colored paper. and carry long.
white wands. These people. who are
dressed to represent Pontius PLATE, Herod
and other religious characters, go from
place to place singing hymns, which are
almost similar to our own Christmas carols.
At the appointed hour of the ceremony
the notabilities arrive in professional
der, accompanied by the priests. The serv-
Ice lasts half an hour, at the close of which
the ice is broken and small wooden cross
Is thrown into the water. Hundreds of
people rush in after 1t, and the person who
is successful in recovering ii is considered
very lucky. Sometimes the struggle to
possess these crosses is attended with sew
eral fatalities. owing to disputes arising as
to the ownership of the cross. In the scuf-
fie which ensues it is said knives are some
times drawn and used without scruple.

beyond LOndon's Bounds.
The second scheme which the council 10
laying out takes another way of curing the
same disease of over crowding. This Is by
acquiring tracts of land in the country just
out of London, building model dwellings
there, and connecting them with the work.
ing centers of the city by light railways.
The details of this scheme have not been
settled, but members of the council tell me
that perfecting it will cost probably &c.
900 COO
Of course, these operations, gigantic as
they are in the amount of money they cost,
are only the beginning Of the work of get
ting rid of London's Sums, but everyth4 ng
points to this vast undertaking being car
ried out to the end. The best reason tor
this belief is that the council is no longer
divided on this subject Until a compare
lively short time ago a large number OF
its members had little faith in the schemes
that the body was in the act of carrying
out. but success has converted these doubt
ers and hereafter the council will work
as unit in this direction. Naturally, it is
not planning to spend the millions OF the
city of London without exDo citing to get
them back again. The power of money
spending that was granted to the council
by parliament is on the condition that their
operations shall be SO conducted that at
the end of sixty years every house built
shall have paid for itself.
The housing of the needy classes Is not
an especially new part Of the London
county councils work, but its great i'm
portance today lies In the dimensions to
which it has grown and Its great promise
for the future. The council began to re-
, house on a modest scale in 1888. but realized
what it could do only after it had under
taken and successfully accomplished the
feat of tearing down the "Old Nichol," in

ported to work on the grade of the road to
the Pacific coast Mr.. Brockett's account
of the Chinese camps verifes the reports
brought to Ell Paso by the Cinnamon who
were some time ago arrested for being
without certificates. He says that the
Chinese contractors treat their un: rymen.
whose transportation has been paid across
the ocean. with extreme cruelty, giving
them insufficient food and working them
like slaves. When the time of their con-
tract expires the Cinnamon are rarely, IL
ever, re-employed, as the contractors pre-
fer to secure a new lot of emigrants over
whom they can hold the power of unpaid
debt. When the laborers become unruly
they are confined or tied to stake and
starved into submission. Many Mr.. Brock
EFT says, die from the effects Of the treat
ment they receive. The boldest and most
courageous, he adds, attempt to escape.
Some succeed while others are captured
and taken back to be treated worse than
ever. The matter has lately been brought
to the notice of the Mexican government.
