PLAY HOLTVILLE
Fl Centro's New Baseball Team
 Looks Like Winner

Fl Centro's baseball team has taken a fresh start and in it's re- organized form will play against the strong Holtville aggregation Sunday. The game will be play ed in El Centro and will be called at 3 o'clock. The game of two weeks ago against Imperial start ed well but ended in defeat and several changes in the makeup of the team have been found necessary. Several new players of ability have been added and the nucleus of a remarkably strong nine is already in sight. Thus far Holtville seems to have won the baseball honors in the valley but the local baseballists are confident that the baseball supremacy is certain to come sooner or later to the county seat and even with so small an oppor- tunity for practice as has been had many of them expect victory even in the first game.
 The El Centro team will be made up as follows: Hollis, c; Martin and Colby, p; Bradford, 1b; Colby and Martin, 2b; Soles, 3b; Burness, ss; Watson, If; Dar- rell, of; Shaffer, If; Buck, sub. There are also several other good players who may be given an op- portunity in Sundays game.
 If the team shows up as well as is expected a permanent or ganization will be made and uni forms and other equipment se- cured. There will undoubtedly be a great deal of interest in baseball in the valley this winter and it is altogether possible that a valley league may be formed.

Party of Picnickers Has Exciting I'D
venture in Basutoland.

A remarkable incident occurred In
Basutll land recently, writes the Lon
don Nails Durham correspondent A
picnic party decided 20 make a trip
into the Basuto country, which they
entered by a pass known as the Lahl
InEubo, on the Natal frontier, and en-
camped for the night in a cave i'm the
Drakensberg Proceeding on their
journey the following day they asked
which they could take their midday
meal The Basuto appears TO have
given information of their presence,
for toward evening the party was in
tercepted by number of natives, the
old man who appeared TO be in charge
carrying a gun. The Europeans were
then arrested, accused OF being white
mems spies" and taken to a place
which had the appearance of noun
tain stronghold Beneath an overhang-
ing cliff. Here the visitors horses
were turned astray, and the headman,
telling them that they would not be
allowed to re-enter Natal, signihed
that they would have 70 continue with
out their horses, and would have TO
carry their saddles. After night
spent under surveillance in cave the
Basutos maintaining close watch
upon their captiyes the party made
their escape by means of strategem,
in which they were assisted by the
Basuto guide, who helped them to cap
ture the horsres and led them back to
the pass by which they entered. At
ter a furious ride in the darkness, the
preciptous nature of the country lead
ing to several exciting adventures. the
party reached the Natal side early on
the morning after their escape, thor
Oughly spent and unnerved.

Life of French Mechanic.

All mechanics in France are obliged
to serve an apprenticeship of from two
to three years, during half Of which
period, at least, they receive no wages
and must board themselves. In addi
ton to this, each one must give up
two years of his life for military serv-
ice, for which he receives l cent day
and board and clothes. 1t will be seen
that every mechanic in France must
expend four or five years Of his life
without wages, before he is prepared
to earn from 81 cents 10 S1.17 day.

Itaiy's New Cereal.

Italy has produced new cereal for
breakmaking purposes that is attract
ing a good deal of popular attention.
A public test was made the other day
at Mesbrino of baking bread from flour
of the new grain, which is named Olco
Cairo, and has been developed by a
priest of the name of Candeo. The
bread was pronounced to be palatable,
light, and, mixed with one-third Of
wheaton flour, is declared to make a
sustaining food at very low price. Be-
sides this, the inventor says that it's
general use would do away with the

Last Action Of Piokpocket Typical Of
His Life.

Rt.' Rev DR.. Chadwick, Bishop Of
Derry and Raphoe, in speech at the
synod of the Irish Protestant church,
referred to the story of a pickpocket
having been found dead with the
watch of the clergyman who had come
TO attend him I'm his hand. The cler-
gyman in whose experience this
strange incident occurred was the late
Rev w. II. White, chaplain of the
Savoy and chaplain to the speaker of
the British house of commons in the
reign of Speaker Brand Mr.. White
was aroused in the small hours of the
morning from his sleep by sick call
when, early in his ministry, he was
a curatq in a Brighton parish. He
was summoned to a bad quarter of
the town and was led to the bedside
of man who was rapidly sinking
amid surroundings of restitution and
squalor. The man passed away while
Mr. White-was offering prayer in his
behalf, and Mr. White, on rising from
his knees, discovered to his astonish-
ment that his watch had been removed
from his pocket and was held tightly

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The slayoralty Race.

To The Sun:
The writer wishes to correct your
idea concerning the mayorality con-
test He made no such statements
with regard to Hon. Charles Reeds
proposed candidacy as published in
The Sun of the Esd inst. The writer
voted for Mr.. Reed four times in his
five races for mayor, and the last
time against himself as Mr.. Reed s
opponent-and against him only a
single time. When Reed defeated
Yeiser, he supported Yeiser. The
writer would suggest that he has
ben greatly honored by the citizens
of Paducah; has had no disappoint-
ments; is not soured at anybody or
other thing, but to the contrary is
trimming full and running over in
appreciation of past kindnesses, and
will not be candidate for mayor
regardless of who shall make the
race. Very truly.
