Shreveport. August 7--(Speeal) )-Clark was the whole works at the ball yard here this afternoon. The young man who held the Pelicans down to one hit in thirteen innings did almost as well against the Pirates He was never in trouble until the ninth inning, although he gave two bases on balls in the third inning and two in the sixth. In the ninth he passed three men to first base and the locals scored run and had the bases full when the rain came down In torrents, thereby letting Clark out of a very awkward hole and giving the Barons a shut-out. Just what would have been the result if the weather had not changed when 1t did will, of course. never be known. Clark had taken balloon ascension and the grandstand was wild as there was only one out.
 Duffy began the game with a single to center field. Lynch followed with a bunt, but in fielding the ball to Henager, who covered first, Weikart hit Swann on the arm and both runners were safe. Vaughan came next with a neat sacrifice and Smith scored the two with a single to left. Smith was caught playing off first and MilIerick popped out to Hennager
 Barons Score AqaIn.
 The next run came in the fifth, when Duffy got his base on balls, was sacrificed to second, stole third and scored on yaughan's grounder to second. O Brien led off the seventh with a single. but was forced out at second by Clark, who hit to schaub. Duffy singled, and both advanced on Swanns wild pitch. Clark scored on Vaughan's fly to left field.
 Both the hits to the credit of locals were in the nature of scratches. The first was made by Norcum in the first inning when he hit a grounder to Clark, who could not handle it. Graffius made hit in the fifth Latham had been calling balls on Clark when the latter thought he had them over, so he lobbed one over to Graffus, wo soaked it for clean single | With one out in the ninth Alexander and Hanley were passed to first Schaub singled to right, the ball falling just in side the foul line, and Alexander scored Hennager got his base on balls and the bases were full, with Graffius at bait Just then the clouds opened and deluge l stopped the game. It was called back to | the eighth inning.

A STORY OF GEROME.
The Master Painter, the New Student
and a Practical Joke.

The Master Painter, the New Student
and a Practical Joke.
A number of years ago a poverty
stricken painter, since famous and
PROSPEROUS, went to Paris from a coun-
try village and entered the studio of
Gerome at the EcOle des BeauX Arts.
The new students first day CHANGED to
be criticism day." and the older stu
dents. finding themselves cheated out
of their customary boisterous hazing
by this circumstance, resolved to have
their fun in an indirect fashion.
Accordingly they took the novice
aside and impressed upon him in the
most friendly and confidential way i'm
aginable that he was under the obliga-
ton of giving a tip to the professor
when he criticised his work. Incredu-
lOus at first, the callow youth let him
self be convinced and promised to do
the proper thing. His means were so
small that he awaited his turn with an
i'll concealed anxiety which those in
the plot relished keenly. When his
turn came he convulsed the room by
slipping n half franc piece into the pro
feSSOrS hand.
Gerome was too familiar with the
practical jokes of the Beaux Arts not
| to comprehend the situation and had
much ado to keep his countenance. He
succeeded, however, and blurted out
with the gruffness which he assumed
10 admirably
what does this mean? You'll do
we'll to come to see me some fine morn
ing and straighten this thing out"
The bewildered pupil interpreted the
admonition literally and presented him
self at Gerome;s private studio two
days later. GerOme received him like
q father, led him on to confess his des
titution and to unburden himself of his
hopes and fears, gave him good coun
sci and restored to him his half franc
piece in the form Of a twenty franc
gold piece.

when there was introduced new star

and producer, has made such a firm
impress in the realms of dramatic art
in this country by his wonderful pro-
duction of ''The Shepherd King" and
his own earnest and artistic portrayal
of the part of David that he is already
recognized as one of the most sterling
successes in the dramatic field. Mr..
Wright Lorrimer is young man, only
80 years of age, and seems to have been
destined to the high work he is car
rying out in the impressive pre-

which is literally the first Biblical play
of modern times. Mr.. Wright Lori

of thought and research. Taking as
his theme the beautiful romantic and
heroic story of David, the shepherd

Dead Sea to Be EnIivened.

1t is believed that before very
long the Dead sea will be exploited
for industrial purposes. French en-
gineers are now at work on three
different projects with this purpose
in view. The level of the Dead sea
being more than 1900 feet below
that of the Mediterranean and the
Red seas, it is thought that by con-
Meeting either of these two seas by
means of a canal with the Dead sea
a stream of water would flow with a
velocity calculated to produce some
$4,000 horsepower.
There is no danger, it is asserted,
of an overlooking of the Dead sea,
for the waters there evaporate at so
great a rate 100000 tons a day.
that the incoming waters would
make no appreciable difference in
the level. Having obtained power
in this manner, it is thought many
industrial works would be carried
on.-London News.

DECLINE OF
SpINDLETOp

The Oil Investors Journal of
Beaumont, Tex, presents some
very startling figures as result
of a careful canvass of the IA
nous Spindletop oil field. On the
last of June there were SO wells
being pumped in the territory
made famous in 1901 by the
strike of Capt. A. V. Lucas, and
the aggregate production was
about 100 barrels a day. In adj
dition, there were II wells that
were being cleaned out, and new
wells that were being drilled.
Of the wells that were pumping
SO were owned by 5 large produc-
ing companies, which controlled
5135 barrels or about 1870 OF the
total output. At least 600 wells
all told have been drilled on the
200 acres that compromise the en-
tire area of the Spindletop oil
field. Nearly half of these were
drilling on the HoggSwayne
tract of % acres, where only 4
wells are now yielding oil. The
remainder have been pulled out
and abandoned. The ]. M. Cuff
fey is the largest producing COM
pany in the Spindletop field at
present, having 3S wells with a
total yield Of $500 barrels a day.
The average yield of all the wells
is less than 70 barrels a day.
A few years ago when the oil
promoters were getting in their
work in behalf of Texas oil COM
panies, $4,000 to 10000 barrel
wells appeared to be common af-
fairs or everyday happenings.
The entire output of the Texas oil
field at the present time is less
than one days yield of the Lucas
gusher in January, 1901.

Turkish Cossacks.

Russia is not the only country
whose battles are fought by Cos
sacks. Turkey, too, has her share
of these fighters, and, as with Rus
sia, they are her best and most cruel
soldiers.
In Turkey they are called "Chir-
kasses." Their outrages on the
Christian peasants of Bulgaria,
when brought to light by the Amer
lean war correspondent, MacGahan,
caused the Russo-Turkish war.
Since then they have not been so
much in evidence, being used in
Turkeys Asiatic provinces.
