SUNDAY BASEBALL FOR NAVY.
No Likelihood Whatever of its Being
Prohibited

Washington, d. c., April 6.-Rear
navy department to give his opinion
of the petition received from the citi-
zens of Provincetown, Mass, protest
ing against baseball playing on Sun
day at that place. while the ships of
the Atlantic fleet are there for the
summer exercises. The navy depart
ment will not be drawn into any con-
troversy with citizens who find fault
with baseball playing BY listed men
of the service.
Rear Admiral Evan rill probably
communicate hi; views to the navy
department in tcrse ami vigorous lam
guage, of which he is capable, per-
sonally and officially, and it is ex-
pected that he will suggest as a rem
edy and a relief of the objecting resi-
dents that the ships of his command
perform their summer evolutions at
a place where they will be more well
come and where there will be fewer
restrictions upon the administration
of the enlisted personnel.
1t is certain that Sunday baseball
playing will not be prohibited in the
navy. There are very good reasons
why it should be permitted as a di-
version of the men who have their
routine work to perform on other
days 1t is considered that a pastime
of this sort on Sunday, at a time and
place which do not interfere with
the religious observances of the day
is an important contribution to indi-
vidual contentment. No one in the
service believes for moment that
there will be any change in this poll

CLIMB EQUATORIAL MOUNTAIN.
Party of Italians VIII Undertake a
New Feat.

Rome, April 6.-The Duke of the
Abruzzi has almost completed his ar
rangements for his attempt next
July to make the ascent of Mount
Ruwenzori, in Equatorial Africa. In
view of the experiences of Douglas
Freshfield and other explorers, the
Duke considers the: the time he has
selected is the most propitious season
for the attempt. Ruwenzori, which
has an altitude of about 1900 feet,
is between the Lakes Albert Nyan-
"a and Albert Edward Nyanza and is
identified by Stanley as one of the
Mountains of the Moon,' the range
where Ptolemy, the Greek geogra-
pher of the second century, believed
was the source of the Nile.
Leaving Lake Victoria the expedi-
ton will cross that part of Uganda
which lies between the lake and the
outlying spurs of Ruwenzori. This is
expected to take Is days. AS this re-
gion is under the British protectorate
II is not expected that the expedition
will meet with any difficulties. The
duke will take with him a number of
the newest scientific instruments
which have been tested in the mete-
geological observatory here. The duke
is confident that he will succeed in
his attempt unless heavy rains or
mists should interfere. 1t is stated
that only one man, a German mem
Der of the Alpine club, has ever sue
ceeded in reaching the top of Ruwen-
Zori.

Curious storage Of Hay.

among the Himalayas. The chief in

The ancients viewed the aurora bore
alis with superstitious awe. looking
upon 1t as an omen Of direful disaster.
1t is not unusual for descriptions of
old time battles to mention the fact
that the ''curions red northern lights
gave us warning that something awful
was about to happen" In the annals
Of Clan Mac-Nolse is to be found an
account of a purple aurora which
lighted up the northern skies in the
year 6Ss A. d. on the night preceding
the dreadful battle fought by the Irish
tribes Of Leinster and Munster, and II
is not necessary to mention the fact
that the people took II as an omen OF
the great slaughter which soon fol
lowed.

A speedx Recovery.

On one of the visits of the American
feet to English waters Admiral Erben
was In command, with Captain Alfred
T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs,
as his flag captain. One morning Cap
tain Mahan came to his admiral with
an invitation to dine with a duke which
he had received.
II can't accept" said Captain Ma
han, 'as they forgot to invite you"
II should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral. "I1l answer for you"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
Admiral Erben, United States navy,
regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag
captain, cannot accept the invitation Of
tho Duke Of Blank. Captain Mahan is
on the sick list"
An hour or SO later a messenger from
the duke returned with invitations for
the admiral and the captain, where
upon the admiral wrote again:
Admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the Invitation for Captain Mahan
and himself. He wishes also to ad-
wise the Duke OF Blank that he has
taken Captain Mahan Off the sick list. n

The Way the Sneak Thief In Mexic,
Piles His Trnde


The Way the Sneak Thief In Mexico
Piles His Trade.
In Mexico the sneak thief has his
business down to science. The IA
vored manner of stealing is from the
houses. Most of the buildings are but
one story high, and the doors are kept
closed and locked. The windows are
as large as the doors and extend to the
floor. To keep the thieves out of the
house they are protected with heavy
iron bars, but the Mexican sneak thief
has found way to overcome this diff
ficulty.
Because of the lOwness OF the win
dow he can look into the room and
spot" the articles he wishes. Then he
waits until the occupant of the room
Is in some other part of the house A
bamboo pole about as lcng as a fishing
rod is produced, to which lis attached
piece of string with fish hosk on
the end
The thief, by practice, can cast the
hook so that 1t will catch On almost any
article in the room, no matter how far
1t may be from the window. Slowly
II Is drawn forward and pulled through
the bars.
In this manner articles are taken Off
the bureau or tables. rugs snatched
from the floor and bedrlothes from
the bed. Clothing left On chairs or
hanging on the wall Is easily removed
The thieves do not even wait until the
occupants are ont OF the room in all
cases. There have been cases where
men and women who Were undressing
in their rooms have lost clothing while
their backs were turned to the window.

stamps would be alike, it would be
impossible to strike a balance, for
there would be no way of telling
where the stamps had been purchas-
ed.
Another question, which will proba-
bly, come up for action, will be the
proposition to increase the weight of
he letters. AT present the weight of
a letter carried by 4 five-cent stamp is
one-hale ounce. This limit will prob
ably be increased by the congress.
Two other matters to be considered
are the parcels post and the per-
fecting of the international money
order system.

Last Eight Months Of the Commute

Secretary Hitchcock has put all

notice that II they intend to complete

the land continuously during eight
months OF the IA months commuta-
ton period Is report that comes
from Washington.
Three decisions, all along the same
line. have been handed down by the
secretary In the past month. One case
came from South Dakota, another
from Nebraska. and the third from
Oklahoma. In all three cases the en-
trymen had offered proof with their
applications to commute, which was
deemed insufficient as to residence by
the commissioner Of the general land
office, whose opinion was sustained
by the secretary.
Under the practice OF the interior
department a homesteadcr may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered by his
application--that Is, he may take that
length of time to 30 upon the land and
build his house and start cultivation.

the entrymen upon paying $1,25 an

holding that the last eight months
of the communication period shall be

point ne SAYS that "in Communication

An Incident Of an English ParIia-
mentary Contest.
In the days before the institution of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, former Lord Dundonald,
who refused to give bribes, contested
Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
of f5 a vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of a history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him In this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive f10,
AS comparatively few people had
voted for him, this was not very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
