NATIONALS GAME
League Leaders Now Equal
 For Worlds Championship.
REULBACH HELD AMERICANS DOWN
Baseball Fans Sit I'm Bitter Cold at Chicago to Sc Cubs Get Their Revengc&mnA i>re Tied For
 First Place.

CHICAGO, Oct 11.-In the second game of the worlds championship se- ries here the Chicago National league team took decisive revenge for their defeat in the first game when they van quished the American league team on the latter's grounds, ' to 1.
 White and Owen, who replaced White in the fourth inning, were batted free ly, and the American league teams err TOTS also helped to increase the Ma tionals' score. Reulbach, on the con- trary, was in fine form and allowed the opposing batsmen only two hits.
 The weather was bitter cold, the mer- cury lowering at or below the freezing point, and a few flakes of snow fell.
 Between 5000 and 10000 enthusiasts, bundled from head to foot, braved the rigors of the weather.
 With frost nipping fingers and toes perfect baseball was an impossibility.
 The Nationals started the run get ting in the second inning. Captain Chance received an ovation as he step ped to the plate, but failed to hit three good ones. Then Steinfeldt sent a scorching single to left. Tinker laid
 
 first, Steinfcldt reaching second. Evers rolled an easy one down to Isbell, who in his haste to make double play tossed the ball into left field. Stein feldt scored. Tinker took third and Evers perched securely on second. White deliberately allowed King to walk, but Reulbac@ sacrificed Tinker home. and EverS scored moment later on HoffmanS safe drive. kling, how ever. was out at the plate.
 The half closed with three runs over the plate, and the enthusiasm of the National supporters. somewhat modest after their defeat broke loose with vigor which took no thought of sore throats The next run for the Nation als came when Chance was safe on fielder's choice. He stole second and went to third when Isbell failed to hold Sullivan's bad throw. He scored when Steinfeldt rapped out his second clean single.
 The Americans lone tally came in the fifth when Dougherty was safe on a tielder's choice.
 In the sixth two singles. double steal by TinkerS and Evers and Sulli- vans wild throw to third. the ball roll ing into the crowd. let Tinker across the plate. In the eighth two more tal- lies resulted from Chances single, Steinfeldt's sacrifice. Chances pretty steal to third and Tinker's single, which brought in Chance. Tinker stole second. went to third on Evers' out and came home on a wild pitch.
 Steinfeldts batting and Reulbach's pitching were easily the features of the game. always excepting the blue fingers and vapory breath of the play CTS

FOUND BY A PHOTOGRAPH.
Father and Daughter United After SeI
 aration of Twenty-Six Years.

Carmi, III. Believing each other dead, Joseph G. Holt, an old soldier of this city, and his daughter, Mrs. Ma lissa Smith, suddenly met the other day after a quarter of century sep aration.
 Twenty-six years ago Holt lived in Henderson county, Kentucky, and moved here upon the death of his wife. He left his infant daughter in care of relatives, and was later told that she had died a few weeks after he had left.
 Holt went to Mount Vernon, Ind, and while on the streets was accost- ed by a young woman, who asked his name A cherished photograph, kept since childhood, had so engraved the likeness of her father upon her mind that she thought she recognized her father in the stranger. It was so, and the long lost daughter ended her quest for her missing parent by throwing her arms about him upon the mention of his name.

NOVEL SPORT AT BERLIN.
Race Between Balloons and Autos as
 Part of War Game.

Race Between Balloons and Autos as
 Part of War Game.
 BERLIN, Oct. 11.-A race between balloons and automobiles was started at noon as an exhibition for the mem- bers of the International Aeronautic society by the balloon corps of the mil- itary transport department. The bal looms were sent up from the parade ground at Tegel, seven miles north of Berlin, at intervals of fifteen minutes. Four balloons, each of POO cubic meter capacity and carrying two officers and ali assistant umpire, took part in the contest.
 As each balloon, with a broad, des- ignating pennant, shot up and sailed away in the direction of Hamburg be- fore a sixteen mile breeze four and in one instance five automobiles, flying the colors of the balloon and posted on roads adjacent to the parade ground, followed, so that within an hour sev- enteen automobiles, chosen from nu- merous entries, were speeding after the airships. Among those in the auto- mobiles were Prince von Salm-Salm, Prince Ernest von Saxe-Altenburg and Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg- Schwerin. Prince Henry of Prussia. who was to have taken part in the contest, was detained at Kiel on naval business.
 Theoretically each of the balloons carried dispatches, while the automo- piles were in the service of the enemy and pursued them with the object of capturing them. If the balloonists, aft CT landing, had twenty minutes in which to escape they won, while the automobiles won if they reached the balloons within that period.
 The balloon Lerche was overtaken within the limits prescribed by the rules by Lieutenant Delacroix's auto mobile north of WusterhauSen. The other balloons made successful land ings in the vicinity of Wusterhausen.

PULL STRAINS FOR KITTENS.
Novel Plan of Justice to Settle Dis
 pute Between Two Women.

wilkesbarre, Pa.-In a final effort to settle a case which would have pug zled Solomon, Alderman Donohue, of this city, has a reputation for novel decisions, made the disputants pull straws, and decided in favor of the winner.
 Miss Minnie Custer owns a cat which gave birth to three kittens in the home of Miss Fannie Moore. Miss Moore claimed the kittens, and when she would not give them up, Miss Custer locked up the cat.
 Miss Moore accused her of cruelty to animals, and the Humane society sent Officer Haffey to investigate.
 In this manner the case got before Alderman Donohue. He could not find legal authority for deciding the ownership of the kittens, and ordered the women to pull straws. Miss Gus ter won. She will give Miss Moore a kitten when it is weaned.

PARIS MAY TRY DREssMAkiNo
Stay Factory Has Proved Money Maker So Council May Seek Other Fields.

Paris.-Paris' municipal councillors are looking for something new to mu- nicipalize. They are tired of gas. electricity, street cars, water, bread, milk, foods, wines, beer and corsets. Perhaps they will go in for dressmak- ing. Anyhow, the councillors are proud of their success in municipaliz- ing corsets.
 The corset is essentially an article de Paris" The city council decided last spring to establish a school of corsets. Not much was made known about the concern, for it was largely an experiment. An establishment was secured on the Rue Boundary and a municipal committee headed by M. Adolphe Cherioux was charged to su- perintend the operations of the school. the school began business. It has been eminently successful and a money making venture. Publicity is now given the affair because the pro- lessor is leaving and the city council must appoint another.
 There has been 6 great rush of ap- plicants. The council has now decid- ed to let jury choose the professor. Applicants of both sexes will send in their qualifications with their model.
 Five experts will judge the compe- tition, and the best man or woman ''professeur de corset de la ville."

THE AMERICAN THEATER.
1t Should Not Be TOy-H Should
BE Made an Educator.

To claim that the stage. no matter
how improved could work an immedi-
ate revolution in the manners and taste
OF our people would be manifestly alb
surd. but it is entirely safe to say that
the theater could. in the matters which
are apparently so unimportant in life, vet
which mean so much, be an important
factor in molding at least the externals
of our national character. This means.
however. that, busy as we are, we
should give the theater a more impOr-
tant place in our thoughts and in our
scheme of popular education than that
at present allotted to it. Nor is the
claim that the theater might be made
teacher of Improvement in the minor
things of life the only one that can be
made for it. 1t might be made the me-
dium for the elevation of the popular
taste in all the arts and in literature
and even for the inculcation of the prin.
ciples of lofty thought and right living.
It may seem strange that people so
clever as we are have neglected this
potent influence for good and have re-
garded it only as toy for our amuse-
ment, to be shaped and fashioned by
the toy merchant solely with a view
to making it catch the fancy and there.
fore become salable and profitable

busy and, on the whole, a self satisfied
people, beyond our pursuits and ambi.
tons we look only for the amusements
which shall be the least burden to US.

are first lightly pressed, so as to take
up a little of the pigment. Then a kiss
is imprinted upon the page in space
provided for the purpose, leaving
clear carmine record of the pressure of
the lips. BY the side of the kiss i'm

Canal L0ckn China.

The centrivances for locks along the
Grand canal in China are very simple
stout boards. with ropes at each end
Of them, being let down edgewise over
each other through grooves in the stone
piers. Boats are dragged through and
up the sluices by means Of ropes COM
municating with large windlasses
worked on the bank, which haul them
safely but very slowly. Artificial
basins We're followed out in the banks
of the canal at these locks, where boats
might anchor securely. The sluices
which keep the necessary level are Of
very rude construction. Soldiers and
workmen are constantly in attendance
at these sluces, and the danger to boats
Is diminished by coils Of rope hung
down at the sides to break the force
of possible blows.-Technical World
