Giants Win the First.

Mastery pitching by Christy Mathew
son, backed up by gilt-edged playing by
the men behind him, gave the New York
National League champions victory at
Philadelphia yesterday over Philadel-
phia's American League pennsnt win
ners in the first OF the series of seven
games for the worlds championship
Philadelphia failed to score, MathewsOn
allowing the home team only four hits,
while the New Workers managed to score
three runs off Plank. Although defeat
ed, Philadelphia played brilliant game.
1t was a clean victory for the New York
team, the element of luck cutting no fig
ure in the contest. The National League
champions played hard game, and it
was only their persistency in touching
up Plank al the right moment that gave
them the victory.

Fish Planting.

During the past year nearly all OF the
streams in Virginia have been plenti-
fully stocked by the United States fish
commission with the choicest of eggs,
fries and adults. The fry are small fish,
usually the size of minnOws, and adults
are those which have attained their nor
NAL growth. Millions of eggs have been
placed in different sections where the
agents of the commission thought them
best suited and through the State black
mouth bass, Dream or sun fish, brook
trout, crapple, black bass and other va
rieties have been variously scattered. As
a rule most of the eggs and fish were
placed in small ponds instead of large
streams. in order that the fish might re-
main in the localities where they were
placed and not make their way out of
the State.
Of Doague creek, Potomac, there were
placed l ,S99, 600 eggs of the Dream varie-
ty. Of Little Hunting creek, Potomac,
2,S9S, 900; off OccOquan, Potomac,
8, 2O8, 900; of Pohick creek, Poto-
mac, 500, 900.
At Ashburn 975 crappies were placed
in Broad Run river; Catlett, Cedar
Run, 200.
Large mouth black bass were placed
at Ashburn, Goose creek, 100, and
Boyce, Shenandoah, Bristow, Broad
Run, Occoquan, Occoquan river, and at
various points along the Shenandoah
river. About $50, yellow perch
fries we're placed Mount Vernon, PCto-
mac river, 81, 777, 900; off Doague creek,

down the price gets the goods"

Mr.. Swanson in Richmond.

Congressman Swanson, democratic
nominee for Governor, made a powerful
and eloquent speech for his ticket before
a large audience in the Academy of Music
in Richmond last night, and he was
given a splendid ovation, which not only
indicates his own popularity, but pre-
curses harmonious action On the part Of
the democrats OF Richmond at the coming
general election. The occasion may
very properly be termed democratic
love feast, for the audience was compos-
ed of party men without reference to past
differences, while on the stage were
leaders prominent in all factions.
One Incident which foretold harmony
of action was theintroduction of the per-
manent presiding officer, Hon. J. Taylor
EllysOn, democratic nominee for Lieu
tenant. Governor, by Hon. James Aston
Cabell, his unsuccessful competitor in
the recent primary.

FOLLOWING the raids made by Cap
tain Gallagher on four New York hotels
came the declaration yesterday from the
proprietor of one of the hotels that the
unrrecedented invasion was for no other
purpose than to settle a score caused by
the hotel mems refusal to contribute
graft to the police The sum from this
source, from gambling and other places
in the district, is placed at 1886, 900 a
month. The worse phase of the whole
affair is that a similar condition of affairs
exists to a greater or less extentin nearly
every city in the country.

SENATOR ALDRICH, of Rhode Island,
chairman Of the Senate finance commit
tee, is in Washington and it is said by
those who talked with him that he and
Speaker Cannon will be found standing
shoulder to shoulder this winter in OPP
position to tariff revision. As chairman
of the finance committee and recog-
nized republican leader in the Senate,
Mr. Aldrich's convictions as to tariff and
financial legislation carry weight at that
end of the Capitol, while it can he re-
lied upon that Speaker Cannon will shut
off attempts at tariff reduction in the
House. There will be no tariff revision
while the republicans are in power.

Miss Wbitmore was to become the
bride of Waverly Branch, of Petersburg

week letter was promptly dispatched
to Branch, telling him of having met
the man she loved, and that her infatua
ton for him no longer existed. Branch
received the letter Sunday and the next
train brought him to that place, arriving
Monday morning, but his coming was of
no avail, and the only consolation to
Branch was that ne felt better after talk

To be Placed in Siberia.

st. Petersburg, Oct. l0.-The plans
of the government for colOnizing the SOL
diers who have been engaged in Man
churia during the war instead of bringing
them home. where it is feared they would
add to the internal dissatisfaction, are
gradually taking shape. The plan is to
offer inducements to the soldiers in the
shape of land and loans to develop it, in
the hope that large settlements of former
soldiers will be established in Siberia.
Each soldier will be allowed claim of
100 acres in Siberia and the government
will loan each settler 100 roubles to be
paid at the end OF four years, without in
terest. Officers who were decorated for
bravery during the war will be entitled
to 400 acres of land and loan of 400
roubles. There is really double pur-
pose on the part of the government in Of
fering these inducements to soldiers to
remain in Siberia. There is little doubt
that with great bodies of the soldiers, who
have become disguised with the military
regime in Manchuria, coming home the
unrest which already prevails throughout
Russia would be increased. Then, too,
if colonies are created in Siberia it means
that Russia will have large population
which could easily be converted into an
army in the east in case of war in the
future.

1t may be piece of superAuous adj
vice 10 urge people at this season of the
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hest
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
