Used the Wrong Bait.

Yesterday, says the Portland Ore
gonian, a man was fishing in Cuffs
lake at the exposition, from the bridge
of nations. Another man passing BY
asked him what he was fishing .o=.
and he replied:
German carp"
Catching any?"
Nope seen lots Of 'em in the water.
but they seem ID run away from my
bait"
What are yoL using for bait?'
"A potato"
Fishing for German carp with a
potato, Say, did you hear about
the eternal enmIty between the Irish
and the Dutch?'
yep; but what's that got TO do with
it,"
well" said the onlooker, IF ycl
want to catch German carp you'd BE-
ter change your bait. Use a pretzel.'

individual nearby. THE natives have
trained them as beasts of burden. one

occasionally they turned on their at

A CAR FAMINE
The Situation at High Point Becomes
Very Serious.

There was an important meeting OF
the furniture manufacturers at the
Manufacturers Club last night to take
up the car question. 1t came out that
there were needed here now for imme-
date use 220 cars with practically none
to be had and as the season advances
matters arelikel y to get worse. 1t was
decided to bring the matter up with
the corporation commission today. \
committee was appointed to go to Ra-
leigh and meet the commission this af-
ternoon. The question is a very serious
one and if there is no relief, 500 nthere
is likely t. be all sorts of trouble. There
might be a wav out in some cases
when the big cars are short ii the snip
per could geta proportionate rate
when the small cars are used, but Inc
railroad refuses to accede to this

PATIENTS DISTRACTED y
Small Boys About TIospi.
..-. tails Cause Much Agony. ehsz

Booming Of cannon crackers and ex-
plosives on car tracks caused serious
trouble at most Of the hospitals today,
and many of the patients are said to
be worse because Of the constant irri-
tation.
Most of the hospitals are situated in
densely populated districts where the
small boys are allowed to celebrate in
their own way and little thought was
given to the hundreds of patients in the
wards. Attic the orderlies were able to
keep the boys away from the very en-
frances of the buildings, the youngsters
would go down the street O. short dis
lance and again begin. the cannonade
Patients not in a serious condition
jumped from their beds and paced up
and down the wards until sent back by
the nurses, and those whose recovery
depended more on the quiet and rest
than on medicine were extremely nerv-
Gus.
The. Swedish, City, Asbury and st.
1Barnabas hospitals were more annoyed
than the others, altho the Northwestern
hospital at Chicago avenue and Twenty
seventh street asked the police to keep
the boys from firing cannon crackers
in the immediate vicinity ~.
A fair day would have given some
relief, as most of the young patriots
would have gone to the pleasure resorts
The rain kept them at home and they
had to be content with celebrating on

ST. PAUL TURNED
SAME OLD TRICK
Defeated Watty's Millers in the
Morning Game at Nicollet
Park. .s&.

More than 5000 Minneapolis fans
went into Nicollet park to cheer the
red millers to victory, but the millers
humblsd the pride of their admirers
and dropped the game to the bunch
from st. Paul and thati what hurt.
The millers could not hit Sandy Fergu-
son, at least not until after the game
was almost irretrievably lost. i &
The result was determined in the
second inning. when bunch Of hits
and an error by Freeman, followed by
home run, netted the saints five runs
and gave them lead which they held
/ to the end. Had it not been for Free
man s error the home run would never
have come: There were many misplays
Just as yellow, but none of them caused
so much disaster. The. error allowed
Marcan to score and Noonan to ad-
vance and landed Ferguson on first.
when it should have retired Ferguson
and kept the other two on the bases.
Geier g single scored Noonan Hemphill
struck out. It should have retired the
side, but did not, and then came
three more runs
Up to the sixth inning the millers
had only two little ingles to their
credit. Then triple by Sullivan and a
double by Schmidt, with a passed ball,
scored two runs. Freeman was also
due to score on Greminger's drive, but
could, not beat Wheeler7s throw to the
plate! -.~t -
Two more runs came in the seventh
inning on clean singles by Jones, Free
man and Coulter and base on balls to
Sullivan. 49, - : :
Graham opened the ninth with a sin
gle and Jones followed suit, but in one
way or another the three next men
failed to split the wood a% -.
Schmidt was not himself and allowed
the doWn-rlver men to steal bases al
most at will II -- -,
Except for the fusilade from cannon
crackers and revolvers which was kent
up continuously, the game was not par.
tlcularly exciting. The miller. infeld
was busy bunch, as the scores will
indicate.

MESSAGE IS UNFINISHED.
BISHOP JOYCE RALLIES SLIGHTLY
AND TRIES TO WRITE, BUT
SINKS BACK INTO sTUPoR.

rs
Altho Bishop Isaac w. Joyce made q
decided rally this morning after a bad
turn at midnight. the attending
physician, DR.. Mark B. Smith, holds out
no hope that the aged minister will
live thru the night, further than that
while there is life there is hope. The
bishop is in an unconscious condition
and is weaker than yesterday.
"A pathetic incident marked the re-
turn Of the bishop this morning to the
first full consciousness since his stroke
Sunday. With his left hand he at
empted to write a message that he had
struggled half consciously, to articu-
late before. With a decided effort be
managed to write 9 few words, part Of
which were distinguisha to the
members Of the family. When he found
himself unable to give his message to
the family he gave look Of unutter-
able sadness and re1apsed into coma.
The effort was weakening.
This was thought to be q period OF
cleaf-h eadedness which often .precedes
dissolution, and the disapp ointment of
the attendants was great.
