BALL
At PHILADELPHIA

gregation8 Struggle for II
Innings in Vain Battle for
Supremacy,

Philadelphia. Pa, Sept s0.-In the
greatest game Of baseball ever seen In
this city.s Detroit and Philadelphia,
which are making a sensational fight
for the American league champion
ship. today played each other to a
standstill. The game Went seventeen
innings To a draw. and was called by
the umpire because il was too dark to
play longer. The players ON hoth
sides were worked up to a high piteh,
and were going strong. and neither
wanted to quit, although the street
lamps on the streets surrounding the
grounds were lighted when the UNI
pire finally was forced TO call the
game. There being no result. the po-
sitions of the teams remain the same,
Detroit having a lead of seven points
over the Quaker City aggregation
Had IL not been for the fact that two
games were to ave been played n
an carly start was made the game
could not have gone seventeen innings.
1t was "a remarkable contest IN many
ways. and the crowd that saw il was
probably the largest that ever Wit
messed a baseball game in this city.
Il is estimated that fully forty thou
sand persons were packed in the
grand stand. and in tire grounds sur
rounding the diamond. The score:

Searching the Scriptures.

Governor Hoch, Of Kansas, never
took any stock in the rainmakers, who
in years past picked up q good deal
of money from farmers In the Sunfow.
er state. At one time the residents of
Marion were subscribing to pay for
some %rainmaking experiments. Mr..
Hoch declined to chip in, and An ell
derby deacon quoted feelingly: 1.-THE
Lord loveth q cheerful giver." Hoch
replied: II recognize the quotation,
but let me remind you Of another. "A
fool and his money are soon parted.
Don't forget that" "Where do YOU
find that in the Scriptures:" asked the
deacon. "Why, in Bartholomew iii,

To North, Pole BY Auto.

New YORK, April 9~.-According to-
The World, Admiral B. S. Osborne,
secretary of the Arctic club. is author
ity for the statement that six automo.
biles are being built here for ''indi.
vidua3 dashes" to the North pole.
Two Of the machines are being built
for DR.. Frederick Cooke of Brooklyn
and a third is for Anthony Fiala, the
leader Of the Ziegfer expedition, Ad.
miral Osborne said he was not at lib.
erty to tell for whom the other three
automobiles were planned, but he said
they we're intended for three distinct
expeditions.
Admiral Osborne said that the auto
mobiles were either copied after or an
improvement on an automobile built
by a letter carrier a. Atlanta.
"He has q route covering hundreds
of miles" Admiral Osborne is quoted
as saying, land he navigates immense
bodies oswater with his machine, for

Receive Higher Pensions.

WASHINGTON, April 9. - While
there have been about 300, GOO applica.
tons for pensions under the new law
granting a pension to every veteran
on reaching the age of g., it is esti-
mated that not tive per cent. of the
applicants are man who had never be-
fore applied for assistance from the
government. 1t shows that there is a
big "silent army" composed of vet.
Grams who will naver ask Or accept a
pension for serving their country.
The pension officials believe that
under the new law about all the ap'
plications have been made that can be
expected. One effect of the law will
probably be to cause q reduction O.
about 500 in the number of clerks IL
the pension Office. The work Of handl
ing applications has been reduced t.
q minimum, and it is not necessar,
for applicants to have any interviewer
all that 10 necessary being for them Il
enter an application and submit
proof of service.

Curious Problems Of the Farm.

Farmers find many curious things
happening around them every day
which they cannot understand, and
nobody, even the scientists, can ex.
plain for them. Why, for instance,
does a horse strain a drink of water
through its lips? Why does q COW
poke her entire face into the bran
mash, eat all she can, then lick her
nostrils with her tongue? Why does
the chicken drink exactly opposite to
the horse and COW, having to hold its
head up when it swallows q drink OF
water? Then note the pigeon, of the
same feathered family, as it keeps its
bill immersed while drinking. But q
dog laps the water in its mouth. This
animal, moreover, never chews its
food, while the cat, his companion
household pet, always chews thor.
oughly before swallowing. How is i,
that failing TO masticate does not hurt
q dog, while in case of all other ami.
mails. including man, unchewed food
causes dyspepsia. Why has a cow a
cud and why can q horse shiver its
hide to drive away flies? These ques.
lions and many more like them tina,
might be asked will show US that we
are far from knowing it all.

B~ankrupted BY Babies.

BOSTON, April 9. - Swamped by
births 1t was organized to promote,
the American Birth Insurance society
has gone into the hands of receivers,
and the supreme court has been asked
to decide the disposition Of $1,000 on
hand.
The society started operations about
two years ago and was intended to
pay $3.50 to 5000 upon the birth OF a
baby in the family Of each policy hold
or, the idea being that many families
avoided children because of the ex'
pense attendant upon their coming
Though it secured much new business
the society was unable to keep up with
the births it had to pay for and decided
to quit business while still solvent.

Magic Number Seven.

There are a surprising number OF
curious beliefs and superstitions con.
corning the number I that have been
noted in all parts of the world.
1t is claimed, il fact, that a nara
ton of them would fill a volume; but
here are a very few of the most nota-
ole:
From the very earliest ages the
seven great planets were known and
ruled this world and the dwellers il
It, and their number entered into every
conceivable matter that concerned
man.
There are seven days in the week.
"Seven holes in the head, for The
master stars are seven.'
Seven ages both for man and the
world in which he lives.
There are material heavens
and in the underworld described by
Dante the great pagan dead who were
not good enough for hell reposed in
s~even-walled and seven.gated city.
There are seven colors in the spec
trum, and seven notes in the diatoni'
octave, and the "leahing' note Of tn
scale is the seventh.
Be it noted that tAe seventh son i
not always gifted with b%enefcen
powers. In Portugal he is believes
to be subject to the powers of dark
ness and to be compelled every Satur
day evening to assume the likeness O
an ass. This is 10 direct oppositio'
to the belief in this country that tn
seventh son is the "lucky' child Q
the family.

cents per cubic yard. Today the pre-.
vailiug rates for similar work are
from 20 to 30 cents. A large contra act
for grading was let at ID cents per
yard, and the contractor executed the
contract and furnished the required
bond. When he came to secure the
airy machinery, animals and la.
Dor, he found the work cost so much
more than his bid that he threw up
his bid and forfeited his bond. On
Reimbursement the bid was again let
at "a cents per yard, and the Icontrac.
tor is said to be losing money at
this price. Reinforced concrete in
1905 averaged $3.50 per cubic yard,
while the responsible bids this year
are from GIG to Cpl.
The increased cost of construction
has compelled a revision of the orig
inal estimates on all of the large pro.
iects, and If there is not q material
improvement in conditions 1t may be
necessary to postpone further con.
struction work on some OF these pro.
jects for an indefinite period. Any
further increase may render come OF
these projects so expensive that diff

EMBARRASSED BY PROSPERITY,

Officers of the government reclama.
ton service complain that the devel-
opment boom in the west Is causing
them serious trouble. In q circular
letter to the press it is set forth that
the government finds itself seriously |
handicapped by its inability to secure
reasonable bids for constructing its
big irrigation works. The large con-.
t tractors are all loaded up with rail-
road work which will occupy their at.
tention for many months to come,
while smaller contractors have all
they can possibly do to take care OF
the local demands of cities and towns.
Many Of the contracts of the govern.
ment have been advertised several
times without securing reasonable
bids. The government is confronted
with the proposition of doing the work
by force account or Of postponing it
until there is an Improvement in con.
ditions. The present time Is most I'M.
propitious for the government to un-
dertake doing the work itself. There
Is an unusual scarcity of labor.

COST HAS INCREASED.
Reclamation Work Delayed BY Scar
city Of Labor and Material.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The devel.
opment boom in the far vest is giving
the reclaim alton service a good deal
OF concern at the present time. With
every part of the inter-mountain coun-
try enjoying q remarkable building
boom, the government finds itself ser.
iously handicapped by its inability to
secure reasonable bids for construct.
Ing its big irrigation works. The
large contractors are all.iloaded up
with railroad work which will occupy
their attention for many months to
come, while smaller contractors have
all they possibly can do to take care
of the local demands of tcities and
towns.
Many of the contracts ofithe govern.
ment have been advertised; several
times without securing reasonable
bids. The government Isl confronted
with the proposition of doing the work
by force account or OF postponing it
until there Is az improvement in con-
ditions. The presentstime is most un.
propitious for the government to un-
dertake doing the work itself. There
is an unusual scarcity Cot labor.
Wages are from 40 to 60 per cent.
higher than two years ago, while eff
cheney has been decreasedirather than
improved by the unlimited demand
for laborers. Owing to the remote.
ness of much of the government work
from cities and towns, labor is not at
tracted thereto, and as a rule the gov
eminent gets only the leavings or the
most undesirable class of laborers.
The steady and skillful workers are
all busy.
The cost of all kinds of material
has increased enormously. Taks &c.

Lumber has nearly doubled in price,
and horses and mules now cost fully
twice what they did three years ago.
As an illustration OF the material
increase in the post of construction
the following examples are cited: In
1904 and 1905 the average cost OF
earthwork excavation was about IL
cents per cubic yard. Today the pre-
