This sport IL Played in Any Kind of
Available Space.

The war Of the pirates takes place be-
tween and about two rings which can be
marked with chalk on an asphalt pave
ment or with a sharp stick on a level bit
OF turf. The size OF the rings must be
regulated both by the number of players
who take part and by the space avail
able. A diameter Of from five to six
feet will generally answer the purpose.
The rings should be separated by perhaps
thirty feet / say advisediy that the
game is played between and about the
rings, for the primary object of every
payer is to keep himself out of. and get
his opponents into one of these inclos-
ures.
The outfit for the game is easily obtain
able. Each payer must be furnished with
a guide, a straight stick three and one
half to four feet in length. Boys should
have no difficulty in picking up sticks to
answer this purpose. An old curtain stick
will do very we'll Ony one op is
needed; the sort found on -four barrels
are best.
Like most American games Pirate is be-
gun by choosing up sides. The possess
sion of the hoop is decided by toss up.
The side loosing the toss up and so the
hoop are allowed to choose the ring they
will defend. The captain Of the side to
which the hoop has been granted takes a
position midway between the two rings
and begins plays by pacing his guide on
the inside rim of the hoop and sliding
the wooden circ.e rapidly towards the
feet Of one OF his opponents or towards
his opponents ring. If he succeed in
striking the feet of the man at which he
aimed, the man is considered a prisoner
and must enter his opponents ring, help
less until liberated by one of his own
side.
Any man at whom the hoop is directed
may guard himself in either of two ways.
He may jump into the air as in figure g.
or he may stop the hoop with his guide,
as in figure 2. The man who first PAGES
his guide within the hoop after a p ay
has been made is 'in possession is
he has the privilege of making the next
play.

DUKE OF FORK OUEBEC.
After Regular Salutes Flags Are Half
 masted for President McKinIey

Quebec, Que, Sept. 16.-Amidst the
 booming of cannon and the whistling of
 hundreds of steamers and steamboats
 the Duke and Duchess of York arrived
 here on schedule time to-day on board
 H. M. s, Ohpir The weather was all
 that could be wished for, and the ar-
 rival of their royal highnesses was
 witnessed by the largest crowd that ever was in this city. The dense crowds were held back by the military
 which lined the streets from the wharf to the parliament building, where at
 12:30 the civic address was presented by
 Mayor Parent.
 As the Ophir and escort arrived a
 royal salute was fired from the four
 English and one French frigate in port and also from the citadel. Immediately
 after the salute the Ophir and all the
 frigates half -masted the Stars and Stripes out of respect to the deceased president of the United States. At 13O Lord Minto and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada. boarded the Ophir and had short interview with the Duke.
 The duke and duchess were later es- corted to the legislative council cham Der and a. formal address of welcome was delivered in the presence of dis tinguished company. The reference to President Mckinley was as follows: May we be permitted to add that among the national emblems and dec orations of all kinds which mark our welcome and brighten our streets in your honor your royal highness has no doubt observed that some of them are draped in mourning. These are the flags of the great friendly nation on our border with whom we are connect ed by so many ties of kinship and mu- tual interest, and in whose grief for the untimely death of their beloved and widely respected president we most sin cerely join"
 In replying the duke said: "I take this, the first opportunity, to express, in common with the whole civilized world, my horror at the detestable crime which has plunged into mourn ing the great friendly nation on your border and has robbed the United States of the precious life of their first magistrate in the midst of the fulfill l nent of the high and honorable duties If his proud position. The duchess and [ share with you to the fullest extent l he feelings of sympathy which you | lave manifested towards a people with 1 whom we are connected by ties of kin 1 'hip and of national esteem, and our 1 hearts go out to the widow and bereav- | d family of the late distinguished and beloved president" I

100 LIVES MAY BE LOST.
Report of a Terrible Disaster In n Colo
 rado Coal Mine.

l hcpofL OI q IerriDie Disastef An n COlO- l rado Coal Mine. 1 Colorado Springs, Col. Sept. 16.-A
 special to the Gazette from Glenwood Springs, Col, says A frightful gas explosion occurred at 5:30 o'clock this evening in tn coal mine
 of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company at Spring Gulch, probably resulting in the instant death of all the miners at the time engaged in work, an estimate
 of 100 men.
 r The concussion of the explosion was terrific and the entire entry was badly
 caved in.
 Three men were rescued from near the entry soon after the explosion, but they were so frightfully mangled as to be unrecognizable.
 The telephone line to Spring Gulch is out of order and a messenger was dis patched to the office of the Pocahontas mine, eight miles distant, where tele- phone connection was had with Glen wood. A special Midland train was or dered, and all doctors in Glenwood Springs were at once sent to the scene of the accident
 No definite information has yet been received here as to the number of men killed, but it is supposed that the men at this mine work until 6 o'clock, ex- cept those who do contract work, and In that event it is thought that almost a hundred men must have been in the mine at the time of the explosion. There is not one chance in a thousand for many of them to escape with their lives.
