While this was going on ''Looie" Quinn
was doing a large stunt on No. 2. He had
secured a two pin break and started after

Quinn took a "dizzy'' aim and let so.
The ball took q wild flight, Jumped the

Tenny has just started to swing his arm
when the ball landed. He saw a ball
speeding down his alley and saw the pins

the sphere which he held in his hand and
dashed out of the alley, since which time
he has not been seen.

Probably the oldest team of horses is
owned by farmer in Schoharie county,
New York. The combined age of the two
is 10 years, one being 81 and the other SO

HanIon Mas Ready to Switch,

.Hanlon Of the Brooklyn team is one Of
the keenest judges Of baseball talent and
also one of the closest students: of base
ball politics in the business. Last August
Hanlon, said in conversation with a friend
that the. American league had won the
day, and asserted that the National league
was IN need, OF new timber. Several of
the managers" said Hanlon, fought to
retire. They have made themselves un-
popular in their cities, and have no chance
to recover the lost ground with public and
press against Them
Many believe that if Hanlon had had
his own way at that time he would have
fastened to open negotiations with Fan
Johnson with a view to transferring the
Brooklyn club to the American league.
Ebbetts and the other owners of the club,
however, were so afraid of the Freedman

FOUND CHESS TOO SLOW
Professor Cox Couldn't Stand for
Steinitz Method of Playing
the Game.

The late Professor Cox, we'll known in
New .Yorks as a proficient in many Ian
guages, was also a great admirer of the
briliancies in chess. He knew the game
wherein Morphy sacrificed his queen, he
was on familiar terms with Andersen 8
linn ortal game" and he had bowling ac-
quaintance with everything that was gocd
in chess. At that time Steinitz was in
town, and the professor concluded it was
an opportune time to take some lessons
on the game himself, so that he could
work off some of his brilliancies.
The man of language and man of chess
accordingly had their first seance in the
service of Caissa- Steinitz started out by
saying that it was generally unWise to
+ organize q direct attack, for, after forty
or fifty moves, it might fail. Even if you
succeeded in smashing the other fellow
there was no satisfaction in it,,5for an
alysis might prove that the whole scheme
was unsound: The only safe way, on
Steinitzian principles, was to potter
around, keep things safe and occasionally
win pawn, if opportunity offered. The
lesson over the board followed, and, after
an hours hard work; somebody won a
pawn, and the lesson was ended. Pro-
lessor Cox had become more and more in
dignant at paying out good money for
| such tommy rot'' as this, and finally
managed to calculate: rs this chess?'s

Big Turnout for the Winter Horse
Show on Park Avenue
/ Is Assured. -
Ed Geers Will Race Lady Thisbe
and Direotum Spier During
Season Of 1908.

Local horsemen are rapidly getting into
line for the winter horse show of the Min
neapolis Riding and Driving Club, which
will be held Jan. 20 on Park avenue, and
a big turnout of handsome equipages is
already assured. A winter horse show is
club plans to make this an annual feature,
just as the horse shows at Minnehaha
have become an annual summer feature.
: The great attraction, naturally, will
be Dan Patch, the famous PAGER owned
by M. w. Savage, who has formally en-
tered the great horse for the show. While
the other horses shown have not made
such a reputation on the track, however,
there will be dozens of stylish animals
shown, and the spectacle will be one
well worth viewing. The prizes will be
awarded for the general excellence Of
the turnouts including horses, equipages
and appointments. AS no admission is
charged, an immense crowd is expected
to view the parade.
During the show Park avenue will be
kept clear of all vehicles and sleighs not
actually taking part in the show. En-
tries close Jan. &C. and should be sent
to r. F. Jones, 43 Fourth street S. 81

DIED FOR SCIENCE.
Silent Tragedy Tells the Story Of a

Chicago, H., Sept. Sitting IN a
pillow banked reclining arm chair
with his hands folded, the body of DR.
X. O. Austin, a young physician, whose
future was promising, was found in
his Office in the Stewart building this
morning.
On a desk within arms reach of the
heavy green plush chair in which the
physician died, lay three empty gela
tin capsules, a vial of hydrocyanic
acid, and drOpper sucn as is used by
physicians and surgeons.
At first it was thought to be a case
of suicide. The police state that the
Young physician was using the deadly
drug for another purpose than to de.
stroy life. They say DR.. Austin, who
was known to have been the victim OF
a chronic affliction, was experimenting
in the hope of finding a cure, and bore
in mind the effect his hoped-for dis
covery would have upon the medical
profession in general,
Recently the physician stated to a
friend that he was experimenting with
some powerful and decidedly danger

chronic affiiction which enslaved
hundreds. DR.. Austin was 80 years
old. He had been practcing in the

FUTURE DELIVERY.
Georgia Planters Selling Their Cotton
In Advance.

Savannah Ga, Sept 7.-More farm
ers in Georgia are selling their cotton
this year for future delivery than ever
before. In the middle section of the
State thousands of bales have been
sold at slightly above twelve cents a
pound for delivery in october and No
yember. Mill men from all sections
of the country have representatives
here for the purpose OF buying cotton
in this manner.
This is largely new proposition to
the farmer who raises cotton. He has
been accustomed to finding out how
much he can get for his product after
it has reached the public square of his
market town, and to sell from forty to
sixty days in advance is decided In
novation Most of those approached
have been content to sell for twelve
cents or little beyond that figure, but
1888 has been popular price,
Savannah factors advise the ad-
vance sales. There is money in cot
ton at the figures offered for it. Al
twelve cents pound the farmer
makes at least S25 clear on each bale
marketed.
1t is estimated that the farmers OF
Georgia will receive S75,00O,OOO fol
their cotton crop this season. against
about $50,000000 last season. Labor
is plentiful and the cotton can be got

CONGRESS To MEET

Special Session for the Considera-

of The Cuban Reciprocity
Problem.

Washington, Sept 7.-Information
which is considered reliable says that
congress will be called in special ses-
sion November 9 to consider remedial

ant matters.
The information comes from such
sources as to indicate President Roose-

made. it is believed, without legisla-

held to be the consensus of opinion Of
every interest in the country. While
it does not meet the radical views Of

AUCTION OF COAL LANDS.
Valuable Tracts Belonging to choe.
taws and ChickasaWs to
Be Sold.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Four hundred
and forty thousand acres Of high-grade
bitumionus coal will be knocked down
to the highest bidders by the Federal
government at auction sales to be held
some time within the next two years.
Those lands which now belong to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, and
which are located in Indian Territory,
have, under the provisions of an act
of congress, been segregated by eX-
perts of the geological survey, acting
under the direction of the secretary OF
the interior.
The value of the lands is not hard
to estimate Experience has proved
that the coal vein averages four feet
in thickness, or 1000 feet to the acre,
If the entire deposit is taken out. In
order to remove the entire vein it Is
necessary to brace the roof with tim
ber supports, and in some instances 1t
may prove more economical to leave
pillars of coal 1t is said that the Ter
ritorys coal field will eventually yield
/ .76O 100000 tons of coal. A consld-
erablc part of the lands is already be
ing profitably worked on thirty-year
leases. the lessees paying 5 cents a
ton, mine run, for the coal taken out
Under this arrangement the mines
would approximately yield $500 an
acre. The leases now in existence will
be sold at the same time as the coal
lands.
The segregated lands are in five
tracts. extending from Arkansas to
South McAlester, and are traversed by
the Choctaw, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas and the Fort Smith railroads.
The Frisco road also taps the coal
fields. The railroads followed the
veins in constructing their lines.
The auction of the coal lands will,
under the provisions Of the law take
place under the supervision OF com
mission which will consist of three
members, one to be appointed by the
president and one each by the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws A period OF
two years is allowed the commission
in which to dispose of the lands, 1t
is said at the interior department that
the protracted period of the sale and
the selling of small sections will give
small investors a share of these val
liable lands, and will, moreover serve
to prevent the entire area being COB
bled up at once by few great syndi
Gates at a price agreed upon among
| themselves
