were crowded with excitement, but nary a
run could they get over the plate.
That Unlucky Eighth.

Then came the disastrous eighth. Turner
was passed and Lajoie went out on little
fly to Falkenberg in trying to sacrifice, and
the tall boys bad throw to Hickman fol-
lowed. Congalton sent a roller to Schlafly,
which the latter obligingly tumbled, and
Turner pulled up at third. Re ssman drove
out long fly to Jones and Turner beat the
throw to the plate, Congalton going to Sec
ond. Jackson then sent a high fly into
right center that Stanley thought Jones
could capture, and as a result the ball fell
safe and Congalton scored. Bemis was
passed, but Bernhard struck out.
Clevelands fourth and final run was
scored in the ninth. Flick died at first on
a roller to Altizer, but Stovall singled to
left and Turner to center. Lajoie then
whipped a singing single to left and Stovall
scored easily. Congaton forced Lajoie at
second and Rossman died at first.
For the Nationals, in their last turn at
bat, Anderson died at first, Jackson made
a pretty catch of Schlafy's long fly to left
and Stanley died away on a weak roller to
Bernhard, and the battle was over.
Following is the official score:

Foot Bali on the Coast.

PHILADELPHIA. August 1S.-Informa-
ton from the Pacific coast is to the effect
that the colleges and high schools are still
perplexed to know what kind OF foot ball
will be played in and about San Francisco
this fall. Leland Stanford and the Uni
versity Of California have declared in favor
of the Rugby game, but although the pre-
paratory schools have not yet decided, they
appear to be In favor Of continuing the in

CHAPTER vi.

The murmur of restless crowd, the
i,uftling Of feet, the noise of jurymer
iaiing their places, the whispering of
newspaper reporters, the quick tread of
policemen passing to and fro, the rustic
Of lawyers papers, and the banging of
dOors ceased; an absolute silence fell
upon all as Olive Dumbarton took the
place assigned to her in the Coroner's
Court. In front of the unhappy woman,
who was dressed in black and heavily
yelled, sat her solicitor, George Coris,
beside her George Bostock, with DR..
Quave and his son. Her daughter and
the servants were in an adjoining room,
1t being considered desirable that each
witness should be examined out of the
hearing of the Others
After the prelilninaries, including the
call OF the roll of jurors, the Identified
ton of the deceased, and the statement
regarding the cause of mis- death given
by DIR. Quave, the coroner addressed the
jury. These proceedings, he said, were
held to inquire truly not only how the
man David Dumbarton came to his
death, but likewise to enable the jury to
decide, if possible, by whom that death
had been caused
He would lay before them as briefly
and as plainly as possible the statements
of this case.

wife, who, on his asking for aid, had
drawn from his breast the knife with
which an unknown hand had stabbed
him
The whole bearing of the case would
point to such a conclusion and to the
innocence of the woman who was the
unhappy victim of suspicion. AS she had
stated, she neither knew nor suspected
that he would call upon her that even
ing Had he desired to have an inter
view with her, there was no reason why
he should not have gone TO the hall
door instead OF rushing across the grass
and flower beds TO enter by all open
window.
Then, as regards the knife by which
the murder had been committed: The
servants in their cross-examination had
sworn that they had never seen it be-
fore the night of the tragedy. 1t was
surely impossible to think the weapon
had been bought and secreted by this
lady for the purpose of assassinating her
husband at such time and under such
circumstances as would favor the deed.
No; the knife belonged to the person
who had struck the blow to avenge him
self for wrong perpetrated by the de-
ceased.
Indeed, there was not sufficient motive
apparent for suspecting this injured wo-
man Of committing this horrible act.
Nothing could have been more easy than
for her to have obtained divorce had
she so wished. There was no neces-
sity for her to seek freedom by causing
his death. Mrs. Dumbarton was wo-
man of blameless life and all who knew
her could bear witness that hers was
not the wicked, depraved and malig-
nant heart that had conceived and car
ried out such a crime.
There was no necessity to say more to
any enlightened body of men, and he
would ask the jury, as men of judgment
and lovers of justice, to return YER
dict which would free this suffering
lady.
George Coris. sat down at the conclu-
sion of his speech with a sense of salts
faction at having done his best for his
client, but likewise with the knowledge
that his case was weak and his arguments
inconclusive.
The coroner then summed up the evi-
dence. Evening had come before he had
finished his remarks, and the jury had
retired to consider their verdict
Olive Dumbarton, sensitively conscious
to all that went on around her, pre-,

WHERE MAN BEATS ANIMAL.

All warm-blooded life is supposed to

below zero, and the majority succumb

if sufficiently clothed, may just exist at
such temperature, but only just. How
ever, Russian named Karkoff, in one of
the few experiments of this kind tried,
actually survived an artificial tempera-
ture of 90 degrees in the St. Petersburg
laboratories, after several Arctic species
of animals had proved themselves unable
to stand it. In the Arctic regions the

UNCLE SANS LAND

United States is the largest owner OF
real estate in the world, with the single
exception of Russia.
The total area OF the public land,
states and territories, exclusive OF
.Alaska--containing 36So3o,7o5 acres-is
1,44I, 5os,So5 acres. OF this area SoS,2o5,-
as acres have been disposed of, leaving
6,5.,.eoS, 800 acres the title of which is
still in the government, or its wards, the
Indians. Of this great area, however,
1SS,7I7,eoS acres are included in Indian,
forest, military, and other reservations
and Withdrawals leaving 44o,4oI,IS2
acres of unapproprated, unsold, and I'M
reserved public lands, exclusive OF
| Alaska.
The government, therefore, has finally
disposed of So per cent, and retains "A
per cent of the original public domain.
If there be subtracted from the grand
total still in government ownership all
| reserved lands, and taken into account
only lands open to general entry and
disposition, there is still remaining, as
| stated, 44o,4oI,IS2 acres, or little less
,han one-third of the original public do
main. AS considerable areas, however,
of the so-called reserved" or with
drawn" lands are subject to entry under
one or more of the land laws, it is
fair statement to say that trife more
| than one third of the original area of
the public domain is still on the market
and to be disposed Of
That part remaining does not compare
in quality with the lands disposed Of
Most of the remaining timber lands of
any considerable value are now reserved
from sale by being included in forest
reserves, permanent and temporary, COM
prising 100000 acres The remain
ing portion of the public domain is
largely arid or sen1i-arid, and the major
part of this is non-irrigable While I'M
der improved methods considerable
areas of semi-arid lands will be success
fully farmcd without irrigation, there
are millions of acres which can be ati-
lized only for grazing purposes.
| While it is true that practically all of
| the tirst-class agricultural lands have
been disposed of, it will be seen that the
| United States still owns and offers I'm
der the land laws enough land to make
| thirteen states the size of Iowa, and in
| addition holds for forest reserve pur-
poses acres enough to make nearly four
states the size of Illinois, of which an
area almost three times the size of that
| great state is in permanent reserves.

OF SHAME

ognlzed as one OF the cleverest men in
ms profession, the jury settled itself to
near him with expectation and interest.
The case before them, George Coris
SAID, IN low, earnest voice, and with
plaln impressive manner, was one of the
most extraordinary that had ever come
before that or any other court extraor-
binary not merely because OF the interest
1t hal created, but because of the cir
cums,ances under which the crime had
been committed, and of the suspicious
which these same circumstances cast
upon an innocent woman. lnasmuch as
none of those who gave evidence had
actually seen the blow dealt to the de-
ceased by which he had lost his life, their
testimony was therefore entirely circum-
stantial
There was no need to dwell upon the
unhappy married life led By the deceased
and his wife, save 10 point out the vicious
career he had followed
If a man could not only ALLEVIATE the
affections, but injure, deceive and aban-
don his wife, his best friend, the mother
OF his child, how badly could he behave
toward Others of his sex? He had for
years led a wandering and misguided
life among companions as reckless as
himself; and, what was more probable
than that he had been guilty of one OF
those wrongs which the law is slow, if
not powerless, 10 punish, but which,
touching men on the tcnierest points of
their affection and Of their honor, they
are sure to avenge.
Here was the probable key to the nlys-
terry surrounding the crime Some man
who considered himself injured beyond
endurance had sought and found revenge
for his wrongs. 1t was lawful to pre-
sumo that while approaching his wife's
house the deceased had met with the
avenger, when to seek help and refuge

solicitor, DR.. Quave, betrayed their ex-
cltement by their restlessness and BY the
anxious manner with which they re-
garded her. 1T was relief to her and
to her friends when the jury once more
entered the court
In another moment the foreman of the
Jury declared that they were unanimous
in their opinion that David Dumbarton
had met his death by being stabbed in
the breast, and that the fatal blow had
been struck by his wife.
The verdict was received in profound
silence, broken by the coroner's voice as
he proceeded to explain the difference
between murder and manslaughter, with
view to helping them to their decision
as to which form of crime had been
committed by Olive Dumbarton.
Without quitting the box. the Jury
gave it as their opinion that the case
before them was one of manslaughter.

hack-robed imnovable figure which was
the center of all observation said:

mise of your husband, and have come

The deceased, David Dumbarton, had
some eighteen years ago married lady
about five years his junior Though their
domestic life began in happiness, it was
soon overloaded Sby misery. After a
period on which it would be too painful
to enter, David Dumbarton deserted his
wife, only to strive to rejoin her when
she had earned independence and fame
by her industry and talents A compro-
mise was then arrived at between hus-
band and wife For certain sum he
consented that legal separation should
be granted her, and having received this,
he left England, promising never to mo-
lest her.

NEW IN SUMMER ORNAMENTS
Belt Buckles of Carved Rose Gold Novelty

They Give Smart Touch to the Sum
mer Costume Silver Collar Slides and
Sets of Enamcled Studs for Tailored
NaiSts-Season'S Vogue of Chatelaine
Bags.
Among the things which add smart
touch to the summer wardrobe is the
belt buckle and back ornament made this
year OF rose gold colorcd almost to 4
deep orange TINT, shad.r toward old
rose. These buckles, clasps and orna-
ments are designed in beautifully carved
patterns representing roses and other
flowers and IN conventional designs.
The other day a woman who hung over
a counter on which these goods were
displayed, trying i'll vain to decide be-
tween two equally beautiful sets, finally
ended in taking both.
One had a back ornament fully FIVE
inches tail by TWO and one half inches
broad and a double front clasp less than
three inches tail and about four inches
wide, both done in rose leaf design.
The other set had d front clasp about
two inches deep and five inches broad,
and back ornament of irregular shape
almost four inches square, both in a
raised design dotted with miniature
roses.
A second smart adjunct useful as
we'll as ornamental, is the collar slide of
silver, as thin almost as thu therbone
which they replace. The slil.. 5 finished
at the ends with tiny rhinestone or
pearl screw head, which alone appears
on the right side of the collar. Thus,
supposing half dozen slides are used
to hold up one collar, a row of pearls
or rhincstones will appear at the top and
bottom of the collar.
