UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, March
1s.-The rule-ef early to bed has been
enforced strictly with the Washington
league boys since their arrival here IN
til last night, when-tne whole aggrega-
ton were the guests of a theatrical
company at the Jefferson Auditorium,
each wearing a liberal supply of green
ribbon in celebration of st. Patrick's
Day
They were on Lambeth Field promptly
at 10 o'clock this morning and opened
the practice with ball tossing. For his
part Prof. Quirk linbered up by rolling
the diamond, and Patten began the fun
by tossing easy balls toya succession Of
Latters. doing little violence to the new
balk rules, considering the short while
the team has been in practice.
He was called down once by Manager
Stahl for a style of knee movement

be sure to advance runner. Later on,
with second and third occupied, Stahl
claimed Il balk and an argument OF
seine length ensued between him and
Kittredge as to whether the pitcher had

result in sending man home. Inc
team sided with Kittredge.
No Infeld Work.
There was no regular infield practice
today Stahl, to keep things going, held
down second base for while, and was
then transferred to first. where he
came very near getting his head in
trouble by not watching Catcher Knoll.

To achieve this distinction he had been
whirling his weapons for fortysix hours

of a second. AS the average speed of his
intricate revolutions was $50 a minute.

HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
er,en Sailor Boy Wanted to See ono, and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

waterspout is one of the first things a green sailor boy wants to see. He has read about it as one of the wonders o1 tba sea. and it rouses his keenest curl- ositv He gets the old sailors to promise to call him when one is sighted. They nromise. winking stealthily at each oth- CT. relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical "a' ters. and the boy is told that water- spout may come along almost at any time.
 One night he is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up, young Teller; thore's a. waterspout on the starboard how bearing right down on us.
 The boy hastens up the companlon- way without waiting tO dress. and q he darts out on decK ne IS thrown doWn hv a mass of water descending on him Iika a wet mountain. He struggles tc his feet, gasping, sputtering:
 'rWa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout! The sailors are around him roaring Then he looks up above the companion wayand sees an empty hogshead. Having seen and felt the waterspout, he descend to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turn in Next time waterspouts in great mum bers may be reported on both bows, bu he will have no particular desire to oo serve them.

MOST POPULAR NUMBERS.
in the Minds of the Greater Number of Men.

"Ask a man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you can tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his se- lection is made mentally" said man who, according to the New Orleans Tmes-Democrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day l asked ten men t., think of certain number-any mum Der between one and ten-and l would tell them what num- Der they had iNsd their mind on fin nine cases out of ten I was correct, missing 1t only once. The minds oi nine of the persons selected the mum. Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven. Even in the case of ths man who fixed his mind on the mum" Der nine, he told me when 1t was all over that his mind had first run to seven, but he quickly changed to nine without knowing just why it was that he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. It is the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number, and it is Quite reasonable that the mind should light on seven. I made another test the other day with five persons. asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give it to sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed. and the five men were bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all l1it upon the same number, and that was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20, though have made no tests along this line. [ dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in she mind, simply because 1t is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it. and 1t doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."

How to Get We'll.

Every organ of the body is directly connected with the brain by nerves. The nerve cells in the brain generate nerve force-power-and send it to the organ through these nerves, and this nerve-force gives life and action. The or gans work perfectly when there is sufficient nerve power. Lack of nerve force weakens the ac- tion of an organ and it works imperfectly tly-becomes sick.
 Two-thirds of all sickness is thus due to weak or deranged nerves; it is therefore advisa- ble to take Dr. Miles Restor- ative Nervine, because it makes nerve energy.
 When you cure the nerves you remove the cause, and that's the way to get we'll.
 "Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine cured me Of nervous proStration after every other effort had failed to give me relief My trouble seemed to begin with a general loss of strength and a breaking down of the nervous system. 1 suffered from headache, constipation and fiuttering or palpita. tion of the heart. My appetite failed and was so nervous and restless that I could not sleep at night. My hus- a bottle of Nervine. 1t helped me from the start and I continued using it until I had taken. six bottles. My health was completely restored"

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An- nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to recently issued census bulletinS,the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers have considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos-. ton is a good example; about 1.200,00 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 600. 900 of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other ,cities have annexed far into the farm sands of the adjacent country. says n'outh's Companion.

$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUTTHE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex ico.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits.
 To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best suited to it's requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rrived, what he did when he first came. what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located.
 Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1 1,500 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers. clergymen; from everyone who has a story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.

Thirteen Wounded.

Ishpeming, Mich, Nov. 6.-Three
children are dead and 13 people are in
:ured, one fatally, as the result of an
explosion here Sunday, which com.
piete!y destroyed the Miners national
bank. The dead are: Steven Good
man, aged - years: Alice MCGEE, aged
ten years, and Edward McGrath. aged
IL years.
The victims were all church attend.
ants on their way home from mass. A
gas leakage in the basement Of the
bank building was primarily RESPONSE
BILE for the explosion and loss of life.
Anderson and Peterson, steam filters,
had been engaged to make repairs to
the heating plant. and as they entered
the building they detected the smell Of
gas. They thought little of the cir.
cumstance, however, and as they passed
into the furnace room they struck .
match to gas Jet.
There was q terrible explosion. The
steam filters were blown through the
doorway at the rear of the building,
while the building collapsed. falling in
to the street a mass of ruins. A crew
was switching cars on side track
near the bank and cars blocked the
crossing when the explosion occurred.
Many persons were standing on the
walk. awaiting the passing of the cars,
and thus were within reach Of the ex-
| plosion.
