Anent Patrolling of Course.
There has been some trouble in secur-
ing Government boats to protect the
course from steamers and merchant
vessels. which are sure to block the
path Of the shells unless prevented from
doing so by Government boats. In all
previous events of this kind held here
and everywhere else there has not been
the slightest trouble IN securing prOtec-
ton from the Government until appli-
cation was made for tomorrow's event.
Under the law, II is the duty Of the

DETROIT, Aug. 12-HUghes' wildness
and loose work in the infield by Cassidy
and the twirler. enabled Detroit to de-
feat Washington here yesterday, to 3.
Hughes allowed the Tigers only seven
hits, while the Senators got eight, and
Detroit made four errors to Washing
tons three. The misplays made by the
visitors, however, were more costly and
resulted in runs. The loose fielding Of
the Senators was partly overbalanced by
the excellent work of Hi at third base.
The Texan time and again knocked
down hard drives between short arf
third with his gloved hand, and in each
instance nailed his man at StahiS cor
ner, by a swift accurate throw.
HIS batting too, was timely, he getting
two hits out of four times up. O'Neill
and Cassidy also used the stick with
good effect, each driving out a pair OF
singles.

FOUGHT THE HESSIANS.
Curious Record of a Hero of the
Revolutionary War.

Curious Record of Hero of the
Revolutionary War.
Daniel NJ. Armstrong, now 81
years old, has been for manyyears
a citizen of Sumner county, says
the Wellington tkan.l Mail. The
father of Mr.. Armstrong served in
the revolutionary war, and he Is
one of the few Americans who can
Boast of such Il close connection
with the birth of our government.
The grandfather of Mr.. Arm
strong was Struggled away from
Scotland to escape the conse-
quences of revolution in which
he had engaged. He remained for
three days headed up in a hogs
head in the hold Of a ship Whilethe
shipwa taking cargo at a Scottish
port. Arriving in America, he en-
listed in Washington's army Be
ing incapaeitated for duty, he of
fered his Youngest son, the father
of the Kansas Armstrong, TO take
his place in the army. KS the boy
was but IS years old, " Washington
asked to see him before he was Ell
listed, and the boy went 10 Wash
ington's camp and with his rifle
hit a half dollar which Washing
ton put up at Il given distance to
test his craftsmanship. The lad
served until the war WAS over,
seeing the surrender at \ orktoWn.
He was twice wounded, once by 4
bullet in the thigh. His other
wound was in his right wrist, and
he always contended it was in
hicted by a Hessian with a bayo-
net in hand to hand fight. This
fact had an important bearing on
his after life. From thatday for
ward every time 4 Hessian spoke

knocked the Hessiqn down, who
ever he might bevand regardless
of his size or age This led to in
Vulnerable fist fights. One char
acteristie Of the Hessian was that
he would always bite his antagon-
ist As Il result, when Joseph
Armstrong died he did not have Il
whole finger or thumb. Some part
of them all had been bitten off By

HOW TO STERILIZE WATER.

The constantly increasing de

says the Trihuna RomeJ. Prof

step forward in the study Of this
important problem. From numer-
Gus and extensive experiments
made b. this author it appears
that by adding 10 impure water.

quantity of chloride of silver there
is accomplished the complete dis
infection Of the water. For this
purpose two milligrams or at most
two and one-half milligrams Of
the chloride are sufficient 60 alb

and TO eliminate every danger of
Infection. The process is so sim
pie that one cannot expect any i'm

it may be used by anyone and in

few minutes-ten at the most
and no apparatus being necessary

SPORT WITH KINKS m IT.
Golf Record Aided By 4 crow-cricket
Ball in & Tree.


1t is gorgeous story that
comes from the golf links Of cairo.
and every good golfer will here
after carry IA gun in his bag of
clubs if he wishes to overlook no
fine points, says tie Illustrated
Sporting News. After splendid
drive, d Cairo player watched the
ball ruIl over the distant turf,
when, to his mortified amazement,
Il crow sWooped down and carried
il aloft. The golferand the caddie
put off in chase, the caddie cursing
in fluid Arabic Then, to the d
light of the golfer, the crow
dropped the ball on the green, and
he holed out in two strokes, which
put Colonel Bogie out of commits
sion. The opponent was threat
ened with apoplexy. As in the
case Of the Indian football trick
of players sticking the ball I'M
der his jersey, there was every
kind of rule in the book except one
to cover the unexpected, and the
golfers record, ably assisted by
his crowship, had to stand. Many
years ago in England, before Il
rule was made to fit similar
emergency in cricket, it is related
that batsman knocked IA ball into
a tall tree, where il lodged in the
crotch of a limb There was no
climbing the tree. and the nearest
ax was a half mile away. Before
it could be obtained, and the tree
chopped down, the man with the
bat made more than 700 runs.

a human shuttlecock. He stopped
scoring runs then only because he
ran himself out Of strength and
breath and fell on the turf, still
feebly trying to pile up another
run, with one weary eye cooked
on the tree and all the opposing
side frantically trying TO chop at
once.

TIMBER SUNK IN RIVER BEDS.
Fortune Awaits the Inventor of a
Method to Recover It.

Method to Recover 1t.
If some scheme could be de
vised;2 said George W. Noble, of
saltwater, at the Piankinton, to
Il Milwaukee Sentinel reporter,
by which the sunken logs which fill
the beds Of rivers and creeks in
the logging sections of this cOun-
try could only be recovered. inn
mensp fortunes would be made.
Along he st. CroiX waters it is es-
timated that logs enough are i'm
bcddpd in the sand of river bot
toms TO keep mills running for
years. Under present conditions
the loss is total, for no successful
method has ever been devised 10
effect this saving.
Occasionally logs cut wears ago
are forced by the Washings Of
floods from their sand beds and
driven upon the shores, where the
action Of sun and wind dries them
out sufficiently so that they will
float downstream, but the per.
centaae Of logs recovered is small
and millions of dollars worth Of
property is lost beyond recovery
until some enterprising genius in
vents Il machine or process TO re-
cover the timber
At Saltwater logs occasionally
come 10 the sorting booms bearing
marks in use half Il century age,
and when they appear the old lum-
bermen grow reminiscent of men
who have been long forgotten,
but who were important operators
in the pioneer logging days Of
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Strange as it may appear, the
value Of The timber is not less
ened, even after it has been sub
merged for half or quarter of Il
century. Efforts have been occa-
sionally Ha5e=to recover sunken
logs. Atone tiiao=a company was
organized saltwater to dredge
streams ans thus recover some Of
the timber, but the plan did not
work Wit any ere5, degree Of sue
cess, this method being found too
expensive Some one will come
along sone day with a plan, and
this immensely valuable product
now lost. will be sGaaEsred.'
