out Result,

The Central High School team opened the
season yesterday afternoon at Van Ness
Park with the Emerson Institute team,
which resulted in q tie. The game lasted
eight innings and each team had succeeded
in getting three men over the plate. This
game was one Of the best seen at Van Ness
Park for several seasons. The Central
team started off with rush and had made
two to their opponents nothing at the end
OF the first inning. Central scored
again in the sixth, and this ended their
run getting. The Emerson team did
not score until the seventh inning, when
they made their three runs. Emerson play
ed a good uphill game throughout the en-
tire contest. They connected with the ball at
intervals, but could not bunch their hits
until the seventh, which resulted in their
tieing the score. The fielding of c. Taggart
for the Emerson team was the feature. Al
though he did not do much at the bat. he
saved his team from defeat by his brilliant
fielding. The score at the end of the eighth
inning was 3 to 3,

The Ga1laudet base ball team played
practice game yesterday afternoon with the
team from the Bliss Electrical School, and
won by score OF % to g. The Bliss team
put up fair game against the strong Gal

team started Off to knock the cover off the
ball, but after this inning they could not do
anything with Neesam's curves. The bat
ting Of the entire Gallaudet team was su-

by Neesam dn the third inning, who only
allowed two runs. The showing Of the GAL

probably administered in time capsules, one

Whatever may be the impression the find-

that the owner of the document can have it
returned to him by application to President
Rowland or the stewards officiating.

AN ACTRESS AMI A MOUSE.
While an Invalid at Indianapolis She
So Abuses Herself.

Miss Flora Mitchell, an actress,
who has been confined to the Home
stead hospital in Marion, where she
has been an invalid for five weeks,
says the Indianapolis News, has
tanned a mouse. For more than a
week the mouse has been almost a
constant companion of the actress,
who says that it has greatly helped
her to preserve her cheerfulness.
The first week Miss Mitchell was
confined to her room, she noticed the
occasional presence Of the animal,
and being lonely began to lay bread
crumbs and other mouse food where
it would be handy for the little crea-
ture. Soon it became holder and after
a few days it would come near the
bed and eat the mites of bread and
meat almost as soon as they were
dropped by the hands Of the sick
woman.
She gradually began to reach to-
ward the animal until finally she
touched it and stroked its furry coat.
1t has never shown the least fear,
and about a week ago Miss Mitchell
picked it up and allowed it to run at
will over her hands and lap. From
that time she has not had the least
trouble in picking it up. In fact, it
will run toward her and seems to
delight in being fondled. 1t makes
not attempt to bite her, but when
others attempt to fondle it there is
trouble at once.

GRANDMA CARR,s DISHES.
Many Claimants for China Buried a
Hundred Years AGO.

Aany 10r china Buried q
Hundred Years Ago.
Here's a pretty question for the
lawyers: A hundred years or more
ago some valuable china dishes were
buried by a family in what is now OF
sego county. The land passed into
other hands, and in the course Of
time-afew weeks ga farm hand,
blowing in the field, found the pre-
cious relics. Many were broken by
the pillow, but a great many we're
saved, and they are valuable, for col
lectors Of old china are anxious to
get hold of this particular collection.
But the trouble is, says the Utica
Observer, that there are many claim
ants for the china. First, there is the
hired man who was holding the pillow
which uncovered the rare old relics.
On the principle that the finder is
first owner, the dishes belong to him.
Then there is the man who rented
the farm, and for whom the discov-
erer was working. On the principle
that the servants time belongs to his
employer, and also that he is entitled
to whatever the farm produces, the
dishes belong to him.
But along comes the mar who
owns the farm, and who rented it to
the man who hired the chap who
made the discovery, and he claims
ownership of the dishes because he
is the owner of the farm, and while
the lessee is entitled to the crops he
has no claim to what may be pro-
duced from underground. The
fourth claimant is to be found in an
heir Tor heirs) of the Cars, who bur-
led the dishes. 1t is presumed that
they will find difficulty in setting up
a claim, for it will not be easy to
prove that these were the. dishes
Grandma Carr took such peculiar
care of, and so the other claimants
may tell them to go to and prove title.
1t is also suggested that the state
may get a hand in the muddle, on the
ground that the unclaimed property
of deceased persons reverts to the
commonwealth, thus making a fifth
claimant for the coveted platters.

HADN'T ENLISTED AS A BIRD.
Irishman Puts in a Protest Against
Soldering in Tree-Tops.

Soldering in Tree-Tops.
Mai. Waller, Of the United States
Marine corps, tells a good story illus
trating the wit of one of the marines
under his command in Samar, says
the Washington Star. This particu-
lar marine was an Irishman, who
never failed to have an apt reply
ready for any occasion. The marines
were cutting their way through some
very tough underground, which
called into play all the athletic train
ing Of the Americans. The marine
in his endeavors to get through the
underground had been executing a
series of evolutions never met with
under any other conditions. Finally,
as there were suspicious noisesahead,
Mai. Waller ordered him to climb a
tree and see if he could make out
anything ahead. This order was
complied with, but not without a pro-
test.
81 don't mind enlisting for a
Rocky mountain goat" protested the
marine, "but I'll be dumbed if
thought l was enlisting for a bird"
But he flew up the tree as readily
as if he had wings, and was soon
down again to report what he had
seen in his flying trip.

EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
The One Investment Jones Made
Which Proved Profitable.

The One Investment Jones Made
Which Proved Profitable.
Jones' wife has long had a serene
contempt for Jones' idea as to the
value of money. One of his many
hobbies was books, and every penny
Jones could spare, or thought he
could spare, found its way into the
palm of the bookseller. One day,
says the New York Post, he started
from home with $12 with which to
purchase shirts, having been notified
by Mrs. Jones that unless he returned
with the shirts he need never again
seek his home. Jones set out bravely,
but in some strange way found him
self in a book auction room within an
hour, and without one shirt.
Two hours later all the shirt mon
ey was gone, and Jones was wonder
ing how to get home with four books
under his arm and explain away the
shirt dealer. When he reached home
he disposed the books upon the
shelves, so that they should be lost, as
it were, among their kith and kin.
One of the volumes was an obsolete
work of information, very quaint and
certainly worth more than the 40
cents Jones paid for it. Fortune ia
yored him in the matter of the shirts.
Mrs. Jones never once asked him
whether he had bought them, and
within a few days he managed to
smuggle in six shirts, and the Incl
dent was apparently closed.
But one day an incident in the
march Of the worlds events made the
40-cent book a treasure. Jones had at
hand in eminently desirable shape
the information only obtainable 9TH
erwise by ransacking a great library.
Promptly did Jones sit him down and
write a long valuable article by the
aid of the book, and in a fortnight he
proudly laid a substantial check in
Mrs. Jones' hand and told her how he
had made it out of half dozen shirts.

Activity Expected in the Market Fail

London, January 1.-The activity an- ticipated on the stock exchange last week failed to materiallze. The week opens with fair promise but 1t was quickly seen that the public was not the eager buyer predicted. Money at first was easy, it hardened gradually. however, until at the close of the week it was found to be scarce and the rates for short loans were higher Americans were the one bright spot in the disappointing retrospect, the shares were active and higher, especial Iy coalers on news of the raiding develop ment and the general belief that the plans of the combination were nearing completion. Canadian Pacific was also in good repute and Northern Pacific and Grand Trunks rise in last weeks trade had a salutary effect on other groups.
 The effect of MT. Belts illness is thought to be only temporary, for his recovery set in before Saturdays closing. There is little prospect of any overplus of float ing money for some time to come. The amount which will be paid to the bank during the current quarter for taxation is unprecedented, the accumulation is probably 93,000, GOO.

 Week-Much Business Done.

Berlin, January 1.-The Boerse has had another strong week, although the vol ume of transactions was below that of last week. The tendency of the week was prompted by the strength of foreign boerses and the cheapening of money here. The latter condition caused good demand for domestic and foreign govern ment funds. Foreign investors appear this week upon the German boerses as buyers of German government securities.
 German investors are also buying for eign rentes in marked quantities partlcu- larly Spaniards, Portuguese and Turks.
 The Reichsbank shows rapid recovery of it's former status. The offerings of money in large sums is causing rise in foreign exchange.
