Falls and the Bank of Pierz have

latest system of electric burglar
alarms. The system is that of the
American Bank Protection Co. of
Minneapolis. With this system the

aid sets to ringing two large gongs
which are placed over the vault door.
These gongs can be heard three
blocks away and they will continue
to ring until they are shut off from
the inside of the vault. There is no
way for the burglars to get inside to
prevent the ringing after the vault
door has been shut and the alarm
set.

The herald says the directors of the
electric road expect to extend the road
to Morrill,. We are glad to hear this,
and will not oppose them. We believe
that when the road is needed, and will
pay the builders that it will come
whether Morrill, votes few thousand
to an already rich company or not. But
It is not any more to be expected, that
the managers OF the road, will give
Morrill, lift by paying out few thous-
AMI dollars to build a non-paying rail-
road to US, then we are expected to give
the company a few thousand to help
them build q road at some future time.
We have not exhausted our argument
against the county helping this company
to bald this road. and do not expect to
tire OF argument until the last vote is
cast on the d y when it is to be decided.
We will use all honorable argument to
prevent the county sholderlng this bur-
den, just in the time when the farmer
has to be told of prosperity, or he would
not find out that it was here. Did these
men ever donate their means to enable
farmer to improve his wild land1 If
not, why do they help US to help them?
Will voting bonds enable the farmer to
get any more for a busheI of corn or
potatoes? Will the presence OF the elec-
trio road make the farm produce any
moro corn per acre, or will it only cause
the taxes to be higher?

From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Magician Connie Mack waved his wand
yesterday and out on the diamond at Co.
lumbia Park there appeared a first-class
pitcher heretofore unknown to Philadel-
phians. The youth was announced as Mr..
McAllister of Iowa. In his first game for
the Athletics he displayed all the qualifica-
lions of a star twirler and he caused Wash
ington to go down to defeat
The successful debut of Mr.. McAllister
of Iowa was another of the enjoyable sur
prises Mr.. Mack is in the habit of spring
ing. Where the secret vault is In which
Connie keeps his "phenoms" Is as much
mystery as his latest wonder. There were
rumors that McAllister was not the youths
real name and that he was former college
twirler. However, the new pitcher showed
that he has all the requisites to succeed as
a curve breeder and a hypnotizer of bats
men. He had splendid control of the ball,
all kinds of curves, lots of speed and is as
cool as a frosty morning. One of his spe-
cialties is a high inshoot, which yesterday
kept the Senators douging. Unfortunately,
one of these shoots went wild and struck
to the ground and had to be led to the
dressing room, where three stitches were
taken in his cheek. The accident occurred
in the first inning and may keep Coughlin
Only six hits were made off McAllister,
and. strange to say, five of them were
doubles and the other a bunt. Two Of
Washington's runs were the result of er-
rors. one of which, wild throw into the
bleachers by NJ Cross, permitted Drill to
walk around the bases. Two of the other
talHes were largely due to a batsman being
hit and a base on balls.
Washington's errors were also costly.
each being responsible for a run. Seybold
got around the circuit in the second. He
hit little fly which Carrick couldn't locate,
although it dropped at his feet. Socks
kept on going and Clark threw the ball out
to center, permitting Seyboid to reach
third, from which point he scored on Muir
phys single. Singles by Murphy, Shrek
and Fultz, M. Cross sacrifice and four balls
to McAllister gave Mack's men three more
runs in the fourth. Their last pair were
made in the seventh on singles by Hartsel,
Fultz, l.. Cross and Murphy, aided by Car
rlck's wild throw and Elys muf of
thrown ball. In this inning, with the bases
filled Seybold hit to Carrick, who threw
Fultz out~at the plate. Clark then threw
to first and Davis kept on for home but
good throw by Carey also retired Harry

BORIS BURSTS INTO SONG
And Newport's Smart Set Intones
"He's Jolly Good Fellow"

liz q oO4Ay 0OV0 = S11OW.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Newport. r. l., yesterday says: De-
claring to a group Of diplomats who went
to the yacht club landing to see him of
that he would surely return to this country
within a few years, Grand Duke Boris of
Russia. left Newport this afternoon and
boarded Cornelius Vanderbilt's handsome
new yacht Cherokee.
With him were Mrs. Ogden Goelet, whose
guest he had been while here; Miss Goelet.
Robert Goelet and Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt. At 1910 o'clock the Cherokee weighed
anchor and sailed for New York, whence
the grand duke will leave for Europe FRI
day.
His stay here of sixteen days has been
notable for the remarkable series of enter
tainments Mrs. Ogden Goelet has had for
him. It Is doubtful whether any hostess
ever before gave so many and such elabo-
rate dinners, dances and musicales for any
purpose in so brief period.
The rising sun coming up over the east
ern cliff had paled the electric lights at
Ochre Court In the morning before the
farewell gathering for the grand duke
had dispersed. NJ. Oumiron sang alone and
also with Baron Greayes Of the grand
dukes suite who Is a charming vocalist.
Finally the grand duke himself was pre-
vailed upon to add song to the informal
program, and this was the signal for the
can salutation-the singing in lusty tones
of For He's jolly Good Fellow" The
grand duke showed his appreciation Of the
efforts of those who entertained him by
presenting to them gold. silver and enamel
trinkets made in Russia.
