BASE BALL IN ALASKA.
Klondikers Have League and Play at
Night.

The Klondike is mad. Base ball is the
cause. The American national game has
so captured the great Canadian camp I'M
der the flag Of Britain that gold is for the
time relegated to second place in the heart
of the miner.
Four teams, composing the Dawson
League the most northerly on the CONT
nent, have created great interest. Dawson
has been in delirium Of excitement the
last week over contests on the diamond
The teams Of the Dawson league have bat
tied with White Horse for the supremacy
of the north. The capital of the Klondike
has finished with the greatest number Of
games to it's credit, but the White Horse
team has proved a valiant opponent. Daw-
son teams won five out of six games, but
the White Horse team was defeated only
after splendid efforts and largely through
luck.
Aside from the Dawson White Horse
matches. the league games between the
Dawson teams attract great interest. Dur
Ing the matches last week 1000 people saw
each contest. The grand stand was crowd
ed at every game and hundreds lined the
grounds. At the regular Dawson league
games the attendance averages 1,5OO to
1880.
The invasion of base ball In the Klondike
Is notable. The game, though played on
British soil. has reused the interest of
thousands who are not from the states and
VIII nave OeeL couCdlcO u Like the sport.
Games have been played in Dawson irregu-
larly in past seasons. This is the first year
that an organized league has carried out
schedule.
All games in the Dawson league are
played at night, or after seven o'clock in
the evening, time that would be claSsed
as night in most parts of America. The
midnight sun of the sub-Arctic summer
permits the players to see the ball as well
in the evening as in the daytime.
In the month Of June games could be
played as successfully at midnight as at
midday. The season will close in a few
weeks, when the sun will have withdrawn
toward the south SO far as to make 1t i'm
possible to finish nine innings after seven
o'clock in the evening.
One reason Of the big attendance at Daw-
son Is the fact that the games can be
played after business hours. Many of the
stores, as well shops and other places
are closed after o'clock and outdoor recre-
alton seems to have more fascination than
shows or indoor attractions. Theaters
concerts and balls find the base ball games
demoraliZing competitors. ,.-
The Dawson league teams are known
under the names of Civil Service. Anna
ranths. Idyle Hour and Gandolfos The
men in the civil service employ. The Idyle
Hours are put in the field by the Idyle
Hour Club. The Amaranths are fostered
by young mems social club of the same
name. and the Gandolfos are backed by Jo-
seph R. Gandolfo. one of the most enter
prtsing of Dawson's business men.
keenest rivalry exists between the teams
and every effort is made by the four
teams to sign the best men in sight

NEW BISHOP OF BUFFALO.
Rev. Charles II. Cotton Consecrated as
Head Of Episcopal See.

The Right Rev. Charles H. Cotton was
consecrated bishop of Buffalo In st. Pat
rick's Cathedral, New York, yesterday,
where he had been rector until appointed
to the see of Buffalo. The church was
crowded with the former parishionerss Of
the new bishop.
The clergy of this diocese in which Bishop
Cotton labored so long were represented
and the sermon for the occasion was
preached by Bishop John A. MeFaul OF
Trenton.
In his sermon Bishop McFaul said: THE
public schools, as at present constituted,
are detrimental to church and state. EN-
inent non-Catholic educators are gradually
perceiving that Intellectual cultivation has
no effect in arresting the sources of evil
in the human heart; that 1t alters the d.
rection Of crime, but not Its amount
Teaching religion in the church and the
homo is not sufficient: the absence of such
teaching in the school is rapidly leading
youth into indifference and thus dechris-
thanking America.
out OF season. the danger Of education with
out religion and morality. Thus he will
serve both church and state; for the well
fare of the republic depends upon the yir-
tue OF its citizens.
"Diyorce is an evil he must endeavor to
exterminate. root and. branch. It Is the
destroyer Of the home and family. the cor
ruptsr of morals, the curse and the dis
grace Of the nation.
SOCIALISM has made giant strides among
the laboring classes. owing partly to the
brazen display Of luxury and extravaganza
by the wealthy and the conflict between
labor and capital The bishop must con-
duct his flock along the lines Of Christian
socialism show the impossibility OF pan
acea for the Ills Of life. Most modern evils
spring from mans inhumanity to man.
They can be remedied only by return to
the principles Of Christianity. Rich and
Door, the capitalist and the laborer. must
do unto others as they would that they
should do to them"
