SPORTING NEWS

The base ball teams in the copper
country have all disbanded. The last
games were played last Monday.
Ransom. the Baraga catcher who
played here last summer and Lewis,
the pitcher who played in the left field,
have been signed by the Milwaukee
team. Lewis and Ransom played in
the games at Calumet with the Calu-
met club.
The Calumet team was not able TO
make good against the Milwaukee
leagers They lost four straight.
Hancock also lost the only game played
with the league team.
The Crystal Falls club will play its
last game tomorrow. The boys will
disperse after that game, those who
are to leave the city going to their
homes. They are nice lot OF fellows
and we hope TO see some of them back
with us next year.
FOOT BALL.
Notwithstanding that there is much
said as to tho weakness of the Mich
igan team, the general opinion is that
Yost mas speedy bunch. A sporting
authority in speaking Of the teams
says -
The day that Coach Yost got back to
Michigan he gave out long interview,
in which he related such tale OF dis
appointments, hard luck, and poor
prospects as has never been heard in
the West before And each day there
after for many days there came from
Ludington story calculated to a.
rouse anything but hope in the breasts
of Michigan supporters.
But times have changed. For the
past few days the Michigan stories
have been of an entirely different
character, and now that Yost and his
main squad are in Ann Arbor 1t il
natural to suppose that pleasant news
may still be forthcoming from the
Wolverine town.
Michigan now has seven men who
have played on the varsity-Captair
Redden. end Heston, half; Gregory,
center Maddox, tackle; Graver,
quarter back Carter. guard ; Lawrence,
full back The lightest OF this septet
is Graver. who weighs 1875 pounds.
Besides these regulars, other men Of
exDerince and promise are out, and
they average in weight 1870 pounds.
This wealth Of first-class heavy mater
ial. with Yost to train 1t. makes Mich
igian an even favorite with Chicago
at least.
The upper peninsula Is to have some
speedy foot ball teams this fall, IL eI'
perience in the coaching departments
is TO amount to anything. Jerry
Utley. the famous Michigan Univer
sity man Is to coach Calumet and II ID
stated that Ware. who is an old Wis.
consin U. man Is to coach Hancock.

FATHER KILLS SON-IN-LAW.
Driven to Desperation by Insults and
Wrongs to Daughter Farmer
Takes Vengence.

Bluffton, Ind, July 13.-John Ter
rell, farmer near Petroleum, Ind,
killed his son-in-law, Melvin Wolfe, by
firing the charges of both barrels of
a shotgun into Wolfe's head as Wolfe
lay on an operating table to have a
leg amputated. The operation was
compelled by gunshot wound infict-
ed by Terrell a short time before.
Four years ago Wolfe married Ter
rell's daughter. Wolfe, it is said, de-
serted his wife and baby, and a suit
was brought to compel him to support
his wife. 1t is asserted that Wolfe
had driven past the Terrell home,
twice, shouting insulting remarks and
shaking his first at Terrell. The third
time he drove past Terrell jumped
from some bushes along the roadside
and fired at his son-in-law. The first
charge shattered Wolfe's right leg.
The second barrel missed. Wolfe
was hurried to the office of DR.. Saun-
ders, at Petroleum, and placed on an
operating table to have the leg am
putated. While crowd stood around
watching the doctor Terrell came up
from his home in buggy, broke in
the door of the doctors Office, drove
out the crowd at the point of his gun,
and, with the remark, Il am after him
and am going to get him yet" fired
both barrels into his son-in-law's =
head. Wolfe was terribly mutilated.
At the time Terrell fired Wolfe was
half unconscious. After the shooting
Terrell entered buggy with his shot
gun reloaded and, pointing it at the
crowd that had hastily formed, held
it at bay and drove to the sheriff's
residence He is in iail

Neapolitans have had recourse TO
their most sacred and seldom used
method of rendeEing him assistance.
st. Gennaro is their greatest saint.

the archbishop to send the mitre to

city for the first time in many years.
The precious relic was intrusted to
Monsignor Prince Caraceiolo, who ar
rived with it safely in Rome Saturday.
by Cardinal Rampolla and Mon
At the vatican the mitre was received

days in this city, the sacred relic was
deposited in the sickroom.

EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED.
Failure to Flag Fast Mail Causes
Two Deaths and Forty Injured
Three of Them Fatally.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 13.-The fast
mail from ST. Louis, due in Kansas
City at 10:30 this morning, crashed
into an excursion \train that had
broken down at Dead Mans Curve"
three miles from Lees Summit, Mo.
Three men were killed and 6S in

riding on the fast mail; man named
of 1912 Russell avenue,
st. Louis, and Roy Swain, Kansas
City.
I The excursion train, which left Kan
.sas City early Sunday for Sedalia,
was made up of IL coaches. The en-
gine broke down, and while it was be-
ing repaired the fast mail, which had
the right of way. came laundering
along at high rate of speed. The
engine of the st. Louis train was
ditched, the baggage car splintered
and one other car damaged. The crew
on the excursion train had failed to
send fiagman ahead to stop the fast
mail. While the excursion train was
but slightly damaged most of those
hurt were on this train. The dead
were taken to Lees Summit and the
injured were removed to the Missouri
Pacific hospital at Kansas City.

THE PAPAL SUCCESSION.
The More Prominent Possibilities I'm
the Sacred College for the
Papal Succession.

Rome, July 12.-All the world is oc-
cupying itself with discussion of the
probable successor of Leo XIII. In ex-
pectation of an early conclave, no
cardinal has left the city during the
past week and more are on their way
here. There are now at least 62 car
dinals in Rome, including all OF the
Italians. Of course, Leo's successor
will be an Italian. A pope of other ma
tionality would be bound to create
recrudescence of the question OF
temporal power, which would be de-
plorable.
Of the papable italian cardinals,
these names are chiefly discussed:
Gotti, Svampa, Vannutelli, Oregl1a
and Rampolla. 1t is improbable that
the college will elect Oreglia, the
aged camerlengo. There is pontifi-
cal tradition that the camerlengo is
rarely elevated to the papacy. This
tradition, however, was broken when
Leo was elected Serafino Vannutelli
is highly commended because OF his
diplomatic experience and prudence.
In the latter he resembles Leo.
The chief contest is expected to be
between Gotti, Rampolla and Vannu-
telli, although Cardinals Sarto, Dipie-
tro and Svampa are frequently men
toned. Rampolla, the papal secretary
of state, is an able prelate, but his
policy has made many adversaries; be-
sides. never has a state secretary
achieved the papacy. 1t is said, also,
that he has determined to retire to
monastery when Leo dies.
Gotti is an able, intellectual execu-
tive. He is the head of the Carmelite
order as a monk, not as a secular
priest. His election would add luster
to the church, and his management OF
the Carmelites indicates the probable
policy he would adopt if he were
elected pope. In all questions Gotti
would seek for the triumph OF JUS
tice. He is not offensive in his pa
triotism, and his acts have concen-
trated upon him the attention OF his
colleagues. External influences wouio
not be factor in his election.
Svampa is very ill, being threatened
with paralysis. Already he has had
an apoplectic seizure.
The chief opposition of the college
of cardinals is against Rampolla

CHRISTIAN [ND[AVOR[RS.
A Movement of Signal Importance
to the Religious World is
Launched at Denver.
A PLAN TO EVANeELIzE THE WORLD.
Tentative Proposition For the ANAL
EamatiOn of the Christian Endea-
vOr, the Epworth League and the
Baptist Union in One Grand Na-
tiOnal Body.

Denver, Col, July IA movement
of signal Importance in the religious
world has been launched by the Chris
tian Endeavor convention now in ses-
sion here. 1t is a tentative proposal
to work for the amalgamation of the
Christian Endeavor society, the Ep-
worth league and the Baptist union,
and it will be presented in the form
of petition from the Endeavorers
to the other two national bodies.
In taking the initiative in the ad-
vocacy of such union, the Christian
Endeavor society points to its prior
ity of establishment as justification.
To EvangeIixe the World.
"To evangelize the world" This is
the keynote of the pleas of the noted
ministerial orators of this country
and of England who, by their zeal
and eloquence, are stirring the souls
of the large audiences which attend
the sessions of the international
Christian Endeavorers' convention and
the numerous auxiliary meetings.
That definite plan for carrying on
the work will be adopted before the
convention adjourns is probable.
The complete registered returns OF
accredited delegates has not yet been
compiled, but at the lowest estimate
there are now fully 5000 in the city,
and the total number of visitors is
not less than 10000.
Pleasant Impromptu Features.
Two pleasant impromptu features
of the convention have been the pre-
sentation by Chaplain Rev. E. Steel,
of the United States navy, to Presi-
dent Francis E. Clark of small Amer
lean flag, said to be the first raised
by American troops over Cavite, and
the expression given by Rev. X. j.
Campbell, of London, to the sentiment
of unity growing between Great Brit
ain and the United States.
Sunrise quiet hour services in five
city churches at six o'clock Saturday
morning were attended by thousands
of delegates, although they had been
occupied until late Friday night with
convention business. From $50 to
$3.50 sessions of the Christian En-
deavor school of methods were held
in the churches.

work of making such form of un-

ating in Mississippi. A provision
ary tariff has been prepared, and ii
is believed that the vexed question
will be settled within the next few
weeks without the trouble which
generally accompanies the issuance
of such rates.

Smith county seems to be rather
an unsafe place for negroes. The
little village of Mize is strictly .

a negro living in the place. The

gether. Negroes, it is said, are not
allowed to stay there, and the few in
