CHICAGO, March PA funeral unique
from the fact that the coffin was made by
the man who was placed in it, and because
the service was arranged by the same man,

residence here. The body was laid in a
vault which he built in Oak Ridge
cemetery, and another coffin of his manu-
facture will be used at his widows funeral.
Both collins were painted blue, with red
and white trimmings. Barr was sixty nine
years old, an author and a follower of
Robert G. Ingersolls atheistic teachings.
In Bars book THE Logical Eye VIII See,''
were marked passages which, by DR.. Barr
direction, were read at the funeral. The
pallbearers, whom he chose, all wore
badges made by him.

Kaep the Balance Up.

It has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite. or
TO get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness or debility.
The system needs tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic Of which we have any knowledge
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
Of health, gives it the same distinction
as preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom Of the old saying that stitch in
time saves nine. Take Hoods for ap-
petite, strength and endurance.

But the Score Was 7 to 8
Against Them IN the
End Orioles Vic.
torious.

Jersey City won again yesterday from
Toronto by timely batting in the sixth
inning. The score was close, standing
to 6. The grand stand was filled with
women Both teams played good ball.
Both twirlers did effective work. Wolfe
kept the champions down to six hits.
These, however. were timely ones, and
the champions won as it were by the
-'skin of their teeth. Pfanmiller, who
was in good form, was in the box for
the locals Clements, the champions
crack left-felder, dropped two easy flies,
contributing two runs to the six made
by Toronto. He made good, however,
at the bat, where he carried off the
honors. He made three hits out of four
opportunities, one Of which was dou-
BILE. Up to the fifth inning he alone
Of the champions scored.
At the start of the game Harley made
hit and got first on Dillon's error. A
sacrifice sent him to second and he
scored on Wiedensaul's double to centre.
The visitors added another run in the
second on a two-bagger by Wolfe and a
tumble by Clements of Rapp's drive.
Two more runs were made by the yisi-
tors in the third through a hit three
errors and a passed ball. At the end of
the fifth inning the score was 4 to 8 in
favor Of the visitors. The locals had
scored two runs in the fifth and settled
down for business in the sixth. Keister
led off with pretty liner to centre that
allowed him 10 reach second. He stole
third. Halligan was given a pass and
stole second Keister scored on Wood 5
safety, reaching the rubber but frac-
ton of, a second before the ball. In do
ing so he spiked the Canadians catcher,
who was obliged to retire from the game.
Raub went from third to take his place,
Wiedensaul went to third and Clarke
went from the players bench to cover
second. PfanmilIer drove the ball to
right, scoring Halligan and Woods.
Bean added another run in the seventh
on an error and safety. The visitors
scored two runs in the eighth and the
fans looked relieved when the third man
was retired. In the ninth Toronto was
retired on a double by Doolin and Cas-
sidy and a good throw by Dillon to Doc
lin, who caught Kuhns trying to steal
second. One of the features of the
game was Harley's good running catch
of Doolin's long drive to centre in the
