A BASEBALL PROBLEM.

Trenton, N. j., has mathematical
puzzle that can show Ann. The mayor
pastors, newspapers and professors
are all busy on it, and some of them
mad already. The craze started from
a wager that the Y. M. c. A. baseball
team would score twice as many runs
as the Waldrons. At the end Of, the
game the score stood to 0. lmmedl-
ately a fierce discussion arose. The
papers carry columns of opinions. DTS
Some say no bet, others say the men
betting on the Y. M. G. A. team won.
"One is 1000 per cent more than o.;
1T is 100 per cent more and cannot be
considered twice as much These are
samples of the solutions"

TOO FOXY FOR ROCKEFELLER

Several months ago Professor An
drew n. Fox of the chair of Biblical
languages in the German Institute of
Chicago Theological Seminary sent the
following telegram to John D. Rookie
Teller:
John D. Rockefeller, New York City,
N. Y: Wanted-Two professorship
endowments for foreign missionary
work at home. Eleven million lives
touched. Check accepted on face val
ue. No questions asked"
Whether the insult of the mo ques-
tions asked" got on Mr.. Rockefeller's
nerves or whether the seminary au-
thorities did not relish the professors
self-imposed task Of trying to reach
some of the Standard Oil wealth is
not known. At any rate, Professor
Fox has been dismissed.
Undoubtedly the professor consid-
cred that telegram a very witty bit of
literature. 1t would be interesting to
know what John D. thought Of it.

LAWMAKERS NAY CO UNWAsHEl
Absent Minded Congress Strike Gu
Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Members
Of the Fifty-ninth congress have just
discovered that congress, in a fit OF
Dissent mindnessness during the last
session, struck out the appropriation
that provides the clean towels used by
members in the performance of their
daily additions
In the last appropriation bill there
was an item of $4,000 for "miscella-
neous items" Certain persons en-
ployed under that appropriation were
obnoxious and they were legislated out
of office by the insertion of proviso
reading exclusive of salaries and la
bor' The washing of the enormous
number of fowls used on the house
side is paid for out of this appropria-
ton.
Dozens and dozens of fowls are is
sued daily to committee rooms, lava
torties, private rooms and bath rooms
One member last summer reached the
limit in the bath room by demanding
half a dozen towels. The price paid
for laundering these articles is rs
cents a dozen and during the recess OF
congress 20 women have been so en-
ployed, the number being increased to
30 when congress is in session. Some
of these washerwomen earn as mucn
as $40 month.
On the morning of July 1, the new
legislative act went into effect, and the
clerk of the committee on accounts
bumped into a condition that confront
ed him. He promptly decided that
washing towels was labor" and there
fore could not be paid for out of an ap-
preparation that expressly forbade any
payment for labor. The matter was
referred to the comptroller Of the
treasury from whose decision there is
no appeal, and he took the same view.
The question now is, how is the Fifty
ninth congress to get it's towels?
1t is a long time before congress
meets, but meanwhile work will be 60
ing on in committee rooms. Towels
undoubtedly will be needed, but if they
are provided it will be through some
subterfuge in violation of the law.

he leading cities west Of the Missis-
sippi. He will join Miss Sharpsteer
N Saratoga the latter part of this
month
The couple met a year, ago, when as
a leading man at the Boston Museum
he was playing in various roles
Friends of the couple say it was love
at first sight. Miss Sharpsteen sat in
a stage box and once during curtain
call their eyes met. Mr.. Dunbar asked
a friend of both to introduce him, and
this accomplished, the courtship went
merrily on last winter until, when Mr.
Dunbar bought the wedding ring
which he was prevented from putting
on the young woman's finger because
he was called West.
Wnen seen yesterday AT the FldyeTS
Club Mr.. Dunbar said Miss Sharp
stems announcement was correct, and
that he would place the long waiting
ring on her finger as soon as she would
allow him. He expected no particular
objection from Mrs. Sharpsteen OF
other members Of her family but
should they object, he said, Miss
Snarpsteen and he would take matters
into their own hands.

WOMAN'S ORNAMENTAL SWIM
MING.

Life guards at summer resorts say
they are sorry to see SO many women
learning to swim, for swimming wo-
men are in greater danger of drown
ing than the old ashioned, non-swim-
ming type.
This statement of the life guards,
which facts bear out, is easy to ex-
plain.
Women who can't swim are timid.

low in the shadows, shrieking like
maniacs, and the life guard has no
trouble with them.
But the women who can swim are
daring. They desire to show off. They

Frantically they strike out for the
shore. So terribly do they exert them
selves that in two or three minutes
they are quite exhausted. Then under

if no life guard-professiona or anna

Ore Buying.

III. Van Calyseele, an ore buyer
from Belgium, was in the southwest
Wisconsin lead and zinc district last
week and purchased 700 tons Of ore
for the Sandoval smelter in Illinois,
which will convert the ore into spell
ter to be shipped to foreign coun-
tries. Mr.. Van Calyseele said that
the zinc ore in Belgium and the Isle
of Man is practically exhausted and
that most Of the zinc shipped in
Europe comes from Spain, which is a
much inferior grade to the Wiscon-
sin ore. He thinks that this district
will soon be the leading zinc produc-
ing section in the world"

Died While on Duty.

Saddening news reached this city
yesterday "Wednesday morning
about 10 o'clock by telephone. 1t was
a message to A. f. Bishop informing
him that his brother John was dis
covered in his mail-carrying rig in
an apparently lifeless condition.
Mr.. John Bishop was mail carrier
out of this city for route No. 3, and
takes IA northwesterly direction. He
left here III the morning in his usual
happy mood, and had delivered mail
SO far as Geo. kelley's on the LaXey
road. Some little distance further
on he was hailed by Oscar Pillow
who was scattering fertilizer III u
field. Receiving no recognition and
noticing that Mr.. Bishop did not sit
up naturally, Mr.. Pillow sought to
overtake the rig, and did SO near
John Callow's, but only to find Mr..
Bishop dead in the seat.
Upon receiving the telephone Mr..
A. +. Bishop and DR.. S. Vivian went
thither Immediately from this city. 1t
was pronounced u case of heart
trouble. The body was ut once con-
veyed to this city and rested at the
home of the former.
Point siXty-one years ago next May.
Here he resided until he enlisted in
the Both Wis Infantry, as drummer
boy, during the civil war. He re-
turned to this city at the close of the
war and was employed III railroad
service here until the early 70s, when
Il more desirable position in like ser
vice drew him westward, and for
years he was depot agent at Denver
for the u. ;. and Pacific express
companies. On account of failing
health he resigned this position
about five years ago aud returned to
the home OF his boyhood. His health
somewhat, the desire
to be employed asserted itself, hence
his carrying OF the mail, such out
door exercise seeming agreeable to
health and spirits.
His wife died year ago last jan
uary, and two SONS died in early life.
A daughter, Miss Ruth, who is teach
ing school in Denver, survives him,
also three brothers and two sisters,
all Of whom reside in this city, ex-
cepting Thos. W., who lives in South

ceased was an honored officer.
