Young Orioles. When the ape entered the box to pitch the Orioles laughed so long and loud that they nearly broke up the game. Would they let him stand within 30 feet of the plate? Sure. they would in minute-and say. if they didn't bat that monk out of the lot. well, they'd eat him alive!
 The Orioles best batsman, Tommy Keeler, came up first. He selected a thick club, of marvellous resiliency and well known record as a lucky stick and tapped home-plate.
 Mister Dooley was not rattled by the scornful wink Tommy shot at him. Without any fourishes or preliminary dancing he drew back his lean left arm and let go high ball. Tommy whanged at it with grin.
 "Stre-e-eek one!" yelled Umpire Mo- Gam.
 Which, alas! was too true, for the high and easy looking ball had taken 8 tremendous drop just before it reached plate and fell into the catch er's glove. Again Tommy faced Mister Dooley, but this time without wink or grin. Sad to relate, he famed empty air again. His face became a tragic mask as he made his third effort. The poor boy struck out. And so did the two Young Orioles who followed him.
 Nevertheless, when Mister Dooley came to bat on his side the Young Ori- oles began to laugh again. For his bat was nothing but the but end of a. broomstick whittled down to fit his size
 The pitcher let loose an outshoot Mister Doo1ey. left-handed, swung far out and smashed at it. The impact knocked him down, but the ball flew toward first base. Dooley galIoped down the line, but the baseman had picked up the ball and was ready to touch him out. Before he could thaw out Doo1ey had leaped over his head and established himself on first base. And there he perched uttering the apish satisfaction call of "Unh! Unh! Unh!" until he saw chance to steal second. A three-bagger by the captain of the Invincibles brought Dos1ey home.
 Why go into the sad details of the overthrow of the Young Orioles? The final score was 34 to nothing, chiefly due to Mister Dooley's accurate, heady play

Some day you will read in the base- ball reports about the wonderful pitch- ing of the Invincibles' southpaw twfrl- CT, Mister Dooley, of Jersey City. That is why the history of this future great player is published by the New York World.
 Mister Dooley is large gray ape. two years old, A sea captain brought him up from Brazil recently and pre- scented him Ito John J. Fischer, who lives at Sanford place and Montrose avenue. Within "A hours the aps had shown as much intelligence and, with al, was so diplomatic and democratic that the dignified title of Mister Dooley was conferred on him.
 To the boys of the neighborhood Mister Dooley at once became guide. philosopher and friend.
 The ape was perched on a tree-box one. day. watching for stray cats, so that he might properly discipline them by pulling their tails, when the battery Of the Invincible B. B. 0. began a lit- tie warming up work in Sanford place.
 The swift flight of the ball to and fro, its sharp thud as it landed in the catcher's glove, so interested Mister Dooley that he forgot all about the cats.
 A wild pitch flew past Harry Fischer and rolled near the tree-box. Tn an instant Dooley was down on it like a star fielder. He picked up the ball, patted it, sniffed it, nibbled at it with his big strong teeth. Good to eat? No. Then it must be a toy. Very we'll. Dooley drew back his left arm as he had seen the pitcher do, and hurried the ball with all his might at Harry Fischer.
 The ball flew straight as bullet. Dooley fell down on all fours because of the impetus of his throw, but when he saw Harry catch it with a sharp thud Of the glove the ape pranced and chatted with glee.
 After practicing with Mister Dooley for week the Invincibles played with him in their next match with the

DON'T LIKE WORCESTER

President W. F. Bristol, of the Mer- iden team, is a committee with Secre- tary O'Rourke, of Bridgeport, to ar- range about the New Haven franchise. Mir Bristol said yesterday afternoon that he had talked with MT O'Rourke and they believed it was the unani- nous opinion of the directors that the league franchise should stay in New Haven and hinted that steps might be taken to keep it there.
 When questioned as to the location of the grounds, he did not care to commit himself, but said that he be- lieved arrangements satisfactory to everybody could be made. The league directors would certainly pre- fer New Haven to Worcester, if it came to a show down and if grounds can be secured the team and franchise will undoubtedly stay in the Elm city.

Cattle and Sheep Values Steady.

Notwithstanding that the greatest
strike in the history OF Packingtown pre-
walls, beef and mutton values success
fully resist all pounding attacks, and it
needs no seer to divine the prospects for
the coming western season, says Rappal
Bros. 4 Co., of Chicago, in a special
letter to the PRESS and they advise as
follows, under date of July IS.
The stellar features of the weeks
trade was the lump price paid for a train
of 28 cars OF cattle from the state of
Washington. These cattle were fed on
alfalfa during the winter. but had been
on the range for two months before
shipment. They were in comparatively
fair condition and sold at $500 per cwt.
for the whole string. They were fed and
shipped by an Ellensburg, Wash, firm
and had been on the road eight days.
With the mammoth strike in full flame
fresh arrivals we're quickly bought up
day after day at stiff prices. Sales in
cluded several big strings of 1853 to 800
lb. steers at 5000, and not few loads at
S635 to S6.45. Quite volume of good
beeves changed ownership at s5.o5 to
$685., and large number Of medium to
good cattle went at S5.35 to $3.50 with
most OF the plain light steers at $500 to
$3.50.
Sheep are big hall dollar higher than
last Monday The close was active and
strong, Washington grass wethers making
$500 to s4.65. Bulk of ewes sold at $500
to s4.25; yearlings, $500 to s5.75;
wethers s4.75 to S5.25.
Range cattle and sheep will likely
form a conspicuous part of receipts
within the next few weeks, and traders
anticipate strong prices for early arrivals
of western beef and mutton. We advise
the prompt marketing of all marketable
goods, for the strike will undoubtedly be
speedily settled, and the demand will be
enormously great as the packing house
coolers are practically depleted.

Interesting facts About the State.

The management Of the North Dakota

square miles, containing 44,oIo,o8o acres.
Estimated population 100000
There remain in the state about II ,ooo-
900 acres of free government land still
open to homesteaders, which will make
5000 farms of I6o acres each awaiting
settlers.
North Dakota has more schools, in
proportion to population, than any state
in the union. Her schools have land
endowment now worth s5o,ooo,ooo, and
rapidly increasing in value In few
years the schools and state institutions
will be self supporting.
The state abounds in Ignite coal, sell.
ing from 81 to 50 per ton according to

mine to anyone endowed with energy,
integrity and determination to succeed.

thought How to take care of ones
own body is not so simple as some think;
the human mechanism is wonderful
thing and requires watching.
One man who has done more to teach
the American people how to care for their
bodies than almost any other, is DR.. R. v.
Pierce, of Buffalo, NJ Y, the Author of the
Common Sense Medical Adviser" He
says: 1t is not the quantity of the food
eaten which produces strength and health
flor some people can keep strong on very
meagre diet), but it is how much food Is
absorbed and assimilated by the blood and
carried to nourish every organ of the body.
It is, therefore, vitally, necessary for the
body that the stomach be in healthy
state. Ifdisease of the stomach, or what is
called stomach trouble" prevents proper
nutrition then the heart, liver, lungs, and
kidneys do not get proper food-they are
not fed on rich red blood, and in conse-
quence, begin to show signs of distress.
Outwardly these signs may be pimples
nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved, aud we receive a
uarning in the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheumatism, too Is blood disease. After
years of practice and study DR.. Pierce
found that an Alternative Extract, which he
named UDr. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery," made from the extracts of several
plants, invariably produced tonic effect
upon the system. It helped the process of
absorption of the healthy elements in the
food and increased the red corpuscles of
the blood, as we'll as eliminated the poisons
from the system.
