The spectators got the worth of

The Durangos kept the visitors

lore the season is over-during the
fair at least, when Ouray and Silver
ton VIII be on hand to try conclu-
sions.
There were two disputes that caus
ed slight interruption, one over an
alleged balk by Harden and the 9th.
er over the putting out OF Durango
runner at third.
Young is going to make a very
good ball player with practice, but
he is in too fast company and is not
to be blamed for errors. And he
needs practice with the stick.
Durango has three weak places.
But another good man, or possibly
two, providing they are good batters.
will give us as strong a combination
as any of the San Juan teams
The Telluride boys made num-
her of errors but at times when 1t
did not count. The center fielder
muffed fly Saturday and the left
fielder repeated the error Sunday.
Only a small amount of money
changed hands-possibly $50 on Sat
urday's game. There was no betting
to amount to anything yesterday

1t more interesting.
Efforts will be made to get Ouray
to play in Durango two weeks from
Telluride plays at Silver
ton and unless Ouray comes over
there will be nothing doing in ball
lines.
The Durango people are more and
more in love with Harden. He pitch
ed both games, striking out eight Sat
urday and ten Sunday. while the Tel
hurdle pitcher only struck out two
Saturday and five yesterday.
Staley and Sliney of Silverton play
ed with Durango Saturday and the
two contributed to the lead obtained
by Telluride in the first inning and
outside of three-bagger by Sliney
their stick work was not up to usual
standard. But both are good players
and are generally Johnny on the spot

MAN is GRAzED
OVER AN ACTRESS

NEW YORK. April 17.-Morris Got
in the Empire Theater, where Maude
Adams is playing Peter Pan" was
taken to the Yorkville Police Court
and was charged with being insanely
in love with the actress. He admitted
the love part of the accusation, but
denied the insanity. DR.. M. S. Greg
ory, who is in charge of the psyche
pathic ward at Bellevue Hospital, said
that in mis- opinion there was no doubt
as to the mans insanity Detective
Hart of the East Thirty-fift street
station took him to court from the
hospital.
This man is in love with Maude
Adams and the physicians at Bellevue
say he is insane and that it would be
dangerous to let him be at large" the
detective said to Magistrate Mayo.
why didn't they send him to an in
stitution, then, if they found him suf-
fering from insanity" asked the court.
"They could not do so, as he had
gone to the hospital of his own ac-
cord,' replied the detective as he hand
ed up a letter which was addressed to
the court by DR.. Gregory. The letter
read:
Several days ago Gotlieb voluntarily
asked to be examined. 1t was found
that his mind was unbalanced, but he
refuses to be committed. We think he
is unsafe to be at large
The man said in court that he was
thirty-four years old and lived at No.
440 East Fourteenth street. He had
been employed in the Empire Theater
for four months, he added.

METHODISTS ARE FOES.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Answering
a question which he said had been
asked of him many times in the
last few days as a result OF charges
made against ministers by big Six"
Bishop Charles c.. c. McCabe, in a SER
mon before the New York East Confer
ence, in the New York-avenue Church,
Brooklyn, that his church was opposed
to labor unions as they now exist and
would use its influence to wipe them
out or reform them, said:
Il have received letters from friends
and labor men," said he. asking me to
state the position of the Methodist
Church on the labor problem and
take this opportunity to outline our po-
sition. I want to state the attitude IF
the church, and this statement is off,
cial.
I'VE are opposed to having a small
percentage of labor men run the entire
lahoring class in a high-handed and
authoritative manner. We are the
friends Of labor. but we are as much
the friends of the 80 per cent of the
laborers who resent the bossism of the
unions as we are Of the 10 per cent who
are doing the bossing. 1t is an impo-
sition for few men to be able to say
Join our union or you cannot work.
1t is an imposition to refuse to allow
men to work as they will if they work
honestly and earn their livelihood by
honest sweat
AS now constituted labor unions
cannot long stand. Either they must
reform themselves or they will cease 20

just, and the honest working man can
not long be subjected to oppression

stating the position of the Methodist
Church today at the conference, as the
members OF the church do not seem to
be disposed to state it themselves.
want the statement to be published
broadcast, so that there can be no
q '1bt as to the attitude of Methodists
toward honest labor. I believe this
should become part Of the creed OF
every Protestant Church
One of the newest ideas in the Chris
tian Church. Bishop McCabe said. Is
that Hebrews must be converted to
accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
'One OF the most pathetic things IN
all history is that the Hebrews are
still looking for Jesus to come" he said
Il intimately know wealthy Hebrew
who has been converted to tie Chris
tian Church. and who is spending large
sums sending out the New Testament
OF the Bible to member Of his race.
The quickest way to save the world IS
to begin to convert Hebrews as we are
now converting other races They are
ready to be converted and have been
neglected too long Tley are already
tired of waiting, in the vain hope that
Christ still is coming and the time has
now arrived when they are ready to
be convinced that they are wrong

MAP SHOWING DISTRICT BURNED UP TO O'CLOCK THIS MORNING

From what the detective had learned
at the hospital it appeared that the man
and a young woman drove in a car
riage to Bellevue last Thursday and
asked that an examination be made
as to the mans mental condition. He
was placed under observation in the
psychopathic ward for the five days
prescribed by law. As he refused to
be sent to an institution for the insane
the hospital authorities had to dis
charge him or have him formally COM
mitted by magistrate.
The detective said Y he understood
that the young woman who accom-
panied the electrician to the hospital
was Miss Boynton, the private secre-
tary of the actress with whom the
man is in love.
Gotlieb himself confirmed this in
talking about his case while waiting.
When the magistrate had heard all
that Hart had to say about the man he
ordered him to make formal affidavit
of insanity SO that the electrician
could be sent back to Bellevue for a
further examination.
Il freely acknowledge my love for
Maude Adams" the electrician said.
II have loved her for some time and
thought 1 was loved in return, but it is
possible that 1 misconstrued her kind
ness for love. 1 believed my love was
reciprocated, and as an hoest man 1
thought 1 had a right to pay my re-
spects TO her. She is one grand. pure
woman and does not deserve a word Of
reproach.
Il tried to overcome my love for
her, and l took a trip to Chicago.
thinking the change of scene would
change my thoughts, but the distance
only brought her closer to my mind.
L wrote to her number of times, but
she never answered my letters.
Last Thursday 1 decided to call on
her at the Hotel Manhattan. When I
went there her secretary. Miss Boyn-
ton, met me and asked if 1 would go
to see physician who was a friend
OF the actress. 1 consented and we
went to Bellevue / was only too glad
to oblige Miss Adams. 1t shows low
simple 1 was to be caught by such a
hoax and allow myself to be kept
there and examined / may have been
'nutty' over my love. but l now real
ize how foolish 1 was to think that
Maude Adams would ever love man
like me.
She would only smile at me. and /
was foolish enough to think the smiles
favored my suit
When the substance of the detec-
tive's affidavit was made known TO
him he asked that someone inform
the actress that the physicians had
declared him insane. and that he
begged she would save him from GO
ing to an insane asylum
Tell her." he went on. that the
man with the crooked nose is now in
his senses and does not want to go to
an asylum"

over the tiger Dick watched every
movement, but could not spring at the
keeper with his lame paw. So he
squatted on the floor and snarled and
spit at the object of his hatred.
Snyder lowered the moose, but in
spite of his lame paw Dick eluded the
lasso for fifteen minutes. AT last
Snyder got the moose over Dicks head
and left forepaw, and drew it tight.
Snyder passed the rope to his assist
ants and they dragged Dick to the
front of the cage. He fought hard,
growing and roaring all the time,
while the lions, panthers and other an
imals around, highly excited, roared
and growled, too.
But the rope held, and Dick was
dragged to the front bars of the cage
outside. Then Snyder with a large.
strong pair of steel nippers caught the
ingrowing nails and pulled them out.
Dick roared. Snyder soaked the paw
with antiseptic and then loosened the
moose. Dick darted back on his three
good legs to. the back of his. cage
again and began licking the paw But
he will hate Bill Snyder worse than
ever

CLIP TIGERS CLAWS.

NEW YORK, April 19.-To relieve
Dick the magnificent Bengal tiger in
the Central Park menagerie. sof two in
growing nails on his right forepaw.
Bill Snyder, chief keeper, performed
one of the most difficult and hair-rais-
ing operations in his long experience
with captive animals.
: Dicks nails had caused the animal
great pain and lameness for several
weeks. He had to walk on three legs,
and every time he struck the sore paw
against the bars or floor of his cage he
gave a roar of pain that shook the
menagerie and started the other ami
mails to roaring in sympathy.
Snyder found today's manicuring
is out of sight again.
Yet Snyder, as chief keeper and ex-
pert, had to perform the operation to-
day He had five other keepers to
help him, and all were tired out before
they finished.
When the keepers approached the
cage Dick retreated to a corner. lash
ing his tail and snarling- Snyder
climbed on top of the cage with a
moose OF. inch manila rope and crawled
