CONY LOSES.
Leavitt Institute Wins Ball
Game from Cony High.
10 to S the Score in a Loosely Played
Game at Augusta.
Home Team Went to Pieces in Second
and Eighth Innings.

Oh. somewhere in this favored land the
sun is shining bright; .,,
Somewhere the band is playing, ana
somewhere hearts are hSht;
And somewhere men are laughing, ana
somewhere children shout;
But ioy fled from Augusta when Cohy met
rOut
The baseballists from Leavitt Institute
IN the little village of Turner on the
rwenty-N[ile river. came over to Augusta,
Yesterday, and brought sorrow 10 the
hearts of all local lovers of the national
game. They played Cony High school
and counted up Is scratches for themselves
on the tally board while the home team
required the same amount of time and an
equal number of innings to count up to
five.
Irish of the visitors, played a remark
ably strong game III the box, striking out
l., of the PLAYERS who looked him in the
eve and failed to catch an inspiration as
to where the ball was going to whirl.
Iangston pitched a good game for Cony,
and Metcalf did creditable work as back
STOP but the fielding was not of the KIND
that anybody can brag about. LcaVitt
fielding was not of the gilt-edGed variety
and their players made many errors bu'
not SO many or costly as those OF the
home team.
Both teams started the first inning WIFI
single run, and the spectators felt nap
by over the prospect of an exciting game
In the second. Cony drew 4 blank and The
visitors run in five. Shurtlcff and Good
win were both given a walk TO first
Chandler raped out a single, Blossom was
presented with walking ticket; the weep
ing had begun, and before it ended nv
Turner boys had crossed the rubber
In the aext, Cony rallied, made goot
recovery from the wreck and held LeaVlt
down to one run and got one for them
selves Neither scored in the fourth; /
was one apiece in the fifth; one for Leavlt
and none for Cony in the sixth; klnsmai
opened the seventh with triple ana 1alle'
to score. so it was two blanks, and tn
Wee1,ing was renewed in the eighth Con,
went to pieces again and let in nine for tn
visitors, and it only remained to bring th
game to an end. Cony rallied in the nlnti
and Kinsman and Little both scored

BROCK SUCCEEDS BROCK.
New President Selected for the
Tonopah Company.

Arthur Brock, who has been serv-
ing the Tonopah Mining company, 10y
which the great camp from which u
derives its name, was pioneered into
prominence, as it's president, has quit
his Job, and the chair at the head OF
the table is being warmed once more
by John w. Brock OF Philadelphia.
The latter is prominently identified
with railway interests radiating out
Of the Quaker city, and has al
ways insisted that an aggressive
policy is the only policy for the
young camp. What the Tonopah
company is most in need OF at this
time are means with which to reduce
its ores on the ground. The outside
world has heard Of such a multipli-
city of millions within its lodges that
it has begun to inquire about divl-
dend record. With equipment for the
reduction of its ores on the ground
and with which to overcome the item
Of transportation, not to mention
the working charge of the smelter,
where the cost of reduction on ultra
siicious ore is necessarily high, the
camp might see its way to starting a
dividend record. With present OBJ
stacles, however, it incurs too much
of sacrifice, nor have the share
holders in the Tonopah any kick com
ing to them that the management
has decided to make this sacrifice

WANTS BETTER TERMS.
The Salt Lake Company Objects
to Consolidation at Present.

Alta special stockholders meeting Of
the Tonopah and Salt Lake company,
says the Salt Lake Herald, it was
decided to postpone for thirty days
final action on the proposition to con
solidate with the Fraction and Gold
Hill companies. An effort will be
made to get the consolidation on bet
ter terms.
The Tonopah and Salt Lake com
pany is at present capitalized for
300, 900 shares. The proposition sub
mitted by the other organizations,
was to incorporate a new company
with capital of 2,OOO.0OO in 81
shares. OF this 700, 600 shares were
to be placed in Il e treasury and the
controlling influences in the Frac ton
and Gold Hill were to guarantee the
sale Of 100, 900 shares at par. The
Tonopah and Salt Lake stock holders
were 10 receive share for share in
the new company, making 300, 600
shares in all, and the balance of |,
600, 900 shares were to be divided be-
tween the other two companies.
At a meeting held it was decided
TO ask an expert examination of the
three properties and an apportion-
ment Of stock by referee in accor-
dance with the merits of the proper
ties. The shareholders present felt
that their property was much better
in proportion than the others, and
that they should have greater
share of the stock.
Action on the proposition to in.
crease the capital stock from 300, 0OC
shares to 500, 900 shares and sell the
new stock for development purposes
was deferred until something definite
came from the other.
The Fraction and Gold Hill com
panies are controlled by the same
crowd which controls the origina

sJosiah Winchester, who is known

he is making careful investigation

dom believe the stories were over

famous record of $500, 900, 600 >"
OF THE SAME OPINION.
Mr. James Cronin, millionaire
mining man Of British Columbia, but
who has mined in Nevada, Idaho and
other states, has been in camp dur
ing the week and has been among
the visitors who went through the
Mizpah and Belmont groups. Mr..
Cronin is extremely conservative,
and says he has reputation for con
servatism among his friends j n
British Columbia and elsewhere,
which he wishes to maintain. APP
parently he is afraid that such repu-
tation will be in danger if he gives
his opinion of Tonopah's great mines
Mr. Cronin finally consented to be
quoted as follows
''That the Mizpah, Valley View
and Belmont are wonderful mines

OF Their PecunariIies

Although II has been known for a
considerable time that Jews in large
numbers have existed In China from a
very remote period and for centuries
lived and worshlped after the fashion
OF their people In other parts Of the
world without even guessing the exist
ence Of Jews other than themselves no
very complete account Of them APP
peared until very recently. says the
New York sun.
Edward Isaac Ezra publishes In the
last number Of the East OF Asia uagu-
zine a detailed history OF the Snclent
Jewish colony at Kaifengfu, capital Of
Honan, based upon the writings Of
ancient and modern historians and on
his own investigations, The greater
part of his account Of them Is new 10
all save the few who have closely fol-
lowed the discoveries which have been
made in recent years about these Ie-
markable people, and those who are M
teresting themselves IN the work Of re-
storing the impoverished colony.
The early facts about the Jews In
China are meager Inscriptions on
stone tablet found In the synagogue az
Kaifengfu indicate that Jews trst on
tered China during the Han dynasty.

In addition TO these, the messengers
brought back number of smaller man
uscrlpts, written on thick yellow paper
Among them were several containing
the services OF the Day OF Atonement.
one had az the end Of II the names OF
the Jewish months and days of the
week. All OF this, says Mr. Ezra, shows
pretty concluslyey that the Chinese
Jews Of Kalfengfu have been loyal
guardians OF the law.
To Dr. Martin, who visited the colony
IN 1866 and found Il In a wretched con-
dltion Of poverty, the remnants Of the
Chinese Jews admitted that they had
torn down and sold part OF their once
beautiful synagogue from the pressure
OF necessity In 1899, after visit to the
colony by Or. Timothy Richard, an
organization for the rescue OF Chinese
jews was formed, and In response 10

Chinese Jews actually undertook the
journey from their ancient home at
kalfengfu 10 Shanghai arriving in the

Questioned as TO their observance OF
their ancient religion, these Jews adj
mItted that their faith was rapidly de-
cllnIng. At present they do not OBJ
serve any of the ordinances Of the Jew
lsh religion, nor do they observe the
idolarous practises Of the heather.
Many Of them have been scattered, but
there still remain TO the seven clans

deporable that they have no leader, no
synagogue ana no school for their chill

Four Of the eight Jews have returned
to Kaifengfu armed with copies Of the
Old Testament in Chinese or the stua-
tion rs it now stands, Mr. Ezra has this
to gay!
1--WE have seen that after a prolonged |
struggle the ancient colony AT Kalfeng
fu was at It's last gasp, and at this
eleventh hour not moment should be
lost in saving these ptiful remnants,
II is one OF the most astonishing facts
Of history that small settlement Of
Jews have been able 10 survive the Vi
cissitudes of some 1000 years in the
heart of a country OF pagans."
