ENED|CTS WIN
IN THE TWELFTH
Kihm's Unfortunate En-
ror Loses the Game
for Los Angeles.
Both Teams Play Fast Ball
and Make a Hurri-
cane Finish.

Yesterdays contests between the Bene-
diets and the Angels turned out to be one
of the greatest of the season. 1t was
twelve-round battle royal, an exhibition
of pretty hitting, steady box work, sharp,
snappy fielding and just errors enough to
make the plays close. It was voted by
the slim crowd in attendance to be one of
the most remarkable games of the sea-
son, the only thing lacking being the
spectators. DR.. Moskiman and Jones were
in the points for their respective teams,
Altrock taking Jones' place in the tenth.
tn pitchers were touched up rather
lively at times, but the doctor displayed
his old-time coolness in tight places and
once more steer ed the unfortunate Grip
pies to, we'll earned victory.
Oakland had everything its own way
until the Looloos made their Baltimore
finish in the ninth. In the initial round
Strieb's triple. together with singles by
Mohler and Eagan and Householder's er-
ror, netted two runs for the Dudes. Again
in the sixth the bell rang for the COM
Babbitt and an error by Jones. Little
Mohler did another great stunt In the
seventh and earned a round OF applause
by placing the sphere on the other side
The score stood four to one when the
Angels made their last stand In the ninth.
Kilim got hit by pitched ball, but soon
after was caught trying to make thlrd
out, and the spectators were preparing to
make their exit when old Hank Spies
tore off a two-bagger, scoring Reitz. Hall
was put in to bat in Jones stead and he
responded with another drive, enabling
| Spies to cross he rubber. Dougherty was
there with the goods when his turn came
and he brought Hall home, tying the
score, Hall previously going to third on
a hit by Hemphill. Householder ended
the good work by fouling out to Hanson.
| The game went nlerrily on for three ex-
! ira innings, neither team being able to
score, though both came dangerously near
doing so. Hanson opened the twelfth with
a safe drive and took the middle station
out, and strieb sent hot one toward
Kihm. The big first baseman captured
the ball. but in doing so fell down and
| dropped it. He up in twinkling
| and returned the sphere to Spies in light
ming order in an effort to head off Han
son, who was tearing home. 1t was
close CALL but Levy called the runner
! safe, and all was over but the shouting.
| Schmidt played a great game in the left
garden, pulling down several that looked
safe. In the eighth Kihm robbed Mos
kiman of a clean double by great run
| ming catch. Altrock took the slab in the
! tenth and Immediately famed out Lob
man and Mohler. The score:

BIG RUSH OF SHIPPING.
Wharves Are Crowded and Many
Vessels Await Their Turn.

Now that the strike is over every vessel
that was tied up is trying to get away
and in consequence every wharf is crowd
ed. There are thirty-tWo wharves with
l28 berths and every one of them is oc-
cupied, while fully a score of vessels are
in the bay awaiting a chance to dock.
The Harbor Commissioners and Chief
Wharfnger Henderson are working like
beavers and have the situation well in
hand. At least half a dozen deep water
ships will be discharged to-day and half
a dozen more will go to Port Costa We'd
nesday. This will make room for a dozen
vessels and if there is not another rush
of arrivals during the week the situation
will be cleared up by Saturday. The com
mission is working hard to accommodate
all the shipping interests and under the
circumstances is doing remarkably well.

CoLLUSIoN ALLEGED
IN A LOTTERY CASE
Ex-Judge Louderback Comes to the
Front Against Chief of Po-
lice Sullivan.

At his own request Davis Louderback
was appointed yesterday by United States
Circuit Judge Morrow as amicus curiae
in the suit Of Kim You against Chief of
Police Sullivan The suit was brought to
recover 222 boxes of Chinese blanks for
lottery tickets seized by the police
several years ago. Kim alleges that the
Chinese characters on the blanks consti-
tute a poem in the Chinese language, and
nothing else, and that they could not be
used as lottery tickets until after they
had been sold and marked in particular
way.
Mr. Louderback presents an affidavit
sworn to by J. A Boyle, in which Boyle
charges that the suit was brought by col
fusion between Kim You and the Chief
Of Police, and that in pursuance Of such
cOllusiOn a false translation of the lot
terry blanks was furnished to the court,
the Justification being in the omission of
the name Of the lottery company and
other identifying matter in the center Of
the blanks. He therefore filed a motion
TO dismiss the suit.

STRANGE YOUNG WOMAN
DESERTS INFANT CHILD
Authorities Anxiously Searching for
Josie Garcia, Who Mysteriously
Disappeared Last Saturday.

A mysterious young woman who calls
herself Mrs. Josie Garcia is anxiously
sought by the authorities, who desire to
restore TO her a two weeks old child
which she left with Mrs. NJ. Robles Of
1409 Powell street last Saturday. The
woman came to board with Mrs Robles
early in September On September 16
the child was born and on October the
mother disappeared, leaving the little one
behind.
It is stated that Mrs. Garcia was a
very prepOSsesSIng young woman and was
attired in stylish and expensive clothes.
During her stay she received money
through the mails on several different oc-
casiOns. Mrs. Robles, being Of an investi-
eating turn Of mind, discovered that Mrs.
Garcia also answered to the name Of
Josie Castro.
On Saturday the woman left the house.
When two days had passed Mrs. Robles
concluded that her bOarder would not re-
turn and applied to Secretary White of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
TO Children for assistance. The child will
be taken off Mrs. Robes hands and, if
the mother cannot be found. it will be
placed in some charitable institution.

Robbed the Mate.

Saturday last Captain McAllman Of the
bark Martha Davis gave Mate Grinlay $55
with which to pay the crew an advance.
The mate put the money in a drawer III
his cabin and then locked the door. An
hour later he went to get the money and
found the door locked as he left it, but
the money was gone. In the mean time
one of the crew left the ship and the po-
this man had a pass key and thus gained
access to the room.

THE FlJIANs IN 1901.
These stories give YOU some idea og
the tljiQns OF the past. The Fljlans of
today are perhaps the most civilized
or the c0lored people south OF the oqua-
TOR They have been almost universally
converted TO Christianity They have
churches everywhere. They have al
most thousand places Of Worship
there are thirty thousand church MEM
Ders among the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-one thousand OF the population and
there are thlrty-three thousand children
IN the Sunday schools They have their
own native preachers and they paw the
salaries, giving about $4,000 n year TO
The church. There are half dozen de.
nominations among which the Metho
dists, the Presbyterians. the Eplscopa-
llans and the Catholics are the leading
ones.
The Fijians have good schools, They
were first established by the mission
aries and afterwards taken up by the
government. There are now $4,000 schol-
are In the public schools. There is a
night school In the town OF Levukn and
another at Suva. There Is an indus

wind is blowing right before you can
see them.
FIJI HOUSES AND TOWNS.
There are a number OF Fiji villages
scattered over the islands, and there
are many natives who i've In and about
Suya and Lcyuka. the principal places
where the foreigners are located.
The Fiji villages are made almost en-
tirely OF matched huts. the walls made
of woven bamboo The roofs are very
thick and the thatch is so beautifully
put on that II seems 10 be woven, No
nails are used In building. the walls
being tied together with strings. Some
OF the houses are conical IN shape,
others oblong and others oval. The
usual hut has but one room, In which
the whole family stays In the daytime,
when It rains, and where all sleep az
night, The usual bed is mat on the
floor and the pillow q bamboo log,
which Is placed under the neck In order
10 keep the sleeper's head dress well up
from the ground There Is but little
cooking and fruit forms large part
OF tn edlet Of the people.
In the mountains there are savage
FlJians who keep themselves apart from
the civilized natives. Here the men
for full dress wear a strip Of bark about
their waists tied at the front In a bow,
while the women have fringe of grass
about four inches long. Both sexes
take great deal OF pride in their head
dresses and you frequently see one
with long pin thrust through his hair
as scratcher This weapon is to
make war upon certain uncomfortable
insects with which almost every head
Is infested. Sometimes the irritation
gets beyond the scratching point how
ever, and In desperation the man so
attacked kindles a fire of banana leaves
and lying down upon his wooden pillow
