Spuds Play eff Tie and Win.

The disheartened Giants left Chi
cage for Pittsburg last night after
having been defeated in three of the
four games that were played in the
recent series. Brown and Ames did
the slab stunt and in the early in
nings simply moved down the batters
who faced them. In the fifth there
was leak in Browns support that re-
suited in a Giant run. In the sixth.
four men were passed by Ames and a
run was forced in BY his poor pitch
ing. One of the incidents Of the
game happened when Mccain was
put out of the game in the sixth in
ming for threatening the umpire. The
feature of the game was the wonder
full stick work by Jimmy Slagle. He
made three hits. one of them three
Dagger, which constituted Just half
of the hits that were secured from
Ames delivery. His triple in the
seventh was Just what was needed

With bnt three more weeks to run,
that wonderful young star, Miss Elsie
Janis, is continuing as a genuine fur
ore in the delightful automobile
play. The Vanderbilt Cup, which is
crowding Chicago's most beautiful
theater, the Colonial, despite the sui
try weather and the unpromising
.theater temperature, as judged from
the thermometer. The merit OF an at
traction that can play to crowded
houses during the month of Aug
ust is to be regarded as a matter of
course, and Miss Janis has set a new
standard in stage entertainment. for
she is not only versatile and wonder
fully well poised in her work as an
actress and gives the finest initial
ions that the stage has ever seen, but
the carries herself with the ease
and adaptability of a woman Of thirty
although she has yet to reach her
eighteenth birthday. The idea Of Civ
ing a complimentary matinee to her
.seventeen-year-old girl friends next
Monday, struck with such tremendous
impact that the management and
star were compelled to retire in con
fusion and defeat. From the imme-
date and general favor in which the
affair was received. it was speedily
recognized that the performance
would mean thousands Of disappoint.

Hoy Plate Glass Is Made.

The cast plate glass OF which mirrors,
shop windows and such things are
made is prepared from the whitest
sand, broken plate glass. soda, a small
amount Of manganese and cobalt
oxides. The glass when perfectly
melted is poured upon an iron table
Of the size required, and the thickness
is regulated by q strip Of iron placed
down each of the four sides of the
table. Immediately after 1t is poured
out the molten substance is fattened
down by an iron roller, which lowers
the glass TO the thickness of the strips
st the sides. 1t is then annealed or
tempered for several days. after which
it IS ground perfectly level and polished
to transparent brilliancy The first
plate glass was made in 1GSS at St.
Picardy. France, where the process
was found out BIZ an accident, as so
many other important methods in
manufacture have been discovered.
where there were eyes TO see the acct
dents and minds TO apply them or the
lessons they taught 10 the advance Of
art or industry.

The White Sox Rest.

The White Sox were compelled to
take a rest yesterday on account of
the rain and will have to play a
double header with New York today.
1t is an interesting fact that in the
last three games that Cheshire has
pitched-all against Chicago-his
teammates have scored but one run.
1t is also a fact that in the last six
games. all of which have been played
with New York. the Yanks were able
to make only three runs.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-An ambition
cherished for many years by the Roman
Catholic church dignitaries of Chicago.

education and religion in America, fin

the opening in Austin of an immense

step toward the realization Of the great
project will have been taken.
Gradually other edifices dedicated to
religious purposes will be added to the
seminary, and it will become the
strongest Catholic ecclesiastical school
in the country Eventually a cathe-

the spot will also become the official

With three of the biggest flour mills

The wheat situation does not look

this morning. Three of the big coast
