SEWER NOTES.

The sewer gangs are at work on
trunk lines at present, except one
gang at the lower end of South street.
The gang on Morris street is nearing
the railroad and another gang is busy
on the Ridgedale line. Another gang
has started from Ridgedale at the cor
ner of Abbott avenue, working across
the lots toward the Ford property.
The work on the Abbott line is max
ing better progress again since the
rainwater was pumped from the
trenches. Two gangs are busy on the
Water street side of the river digging
on Albeit avenue, Garfield street and
the cross street from Garfield to Lin
coin streets, and on Lincoln street to
George street.
Contractor Costa managed TO get
South street nearly finished for the
Horse Show, cleaning up the surplus
earth and brushing up the street. The
manhole at Boykin street was the only
unfinished part and that was closed
up before Saturday and the gang
turned into Boykin street.

Why Not You?

A little consideration is surely
sufficient to bring you to the conclu-
sion that there should be LAUTER-
F1UMANA in yoar home. The educa-
tional value of this instrument for the
growing family is beyond all question;
it is possible to educate every member
of the household to an appreciation of
music to an extent that would be al
most impossible without its aid; it is
by intelligent playing for oneself that
old and young acquire taste in, and
derive pleasure from, the higher classes
of music-and with the LAUTER-
HUMANA everyone, young and old,
can play without necessarily having
any knowledge of the keyboard.
Not only can every non-player
play artistically through the aid of
music-roll and treadles, but the Lau-
ter-Humana is capable of being played
by hand in the usual way. 1t is thus
TWO INSTRUMENTS IN ONE, it
is thus the ideal piano for pianist and
non-player alike. Not only is the
non-player able to play, but the finished
pianist can increase his repertoire a
thousandfold, can play every compost
ton exactly as he lkes to play with
out the necessity of practice.
We invite you to examine the
Lauter-Humana. We can take your
present piano (be it upright, grand or
square) in part payment. We can ar
range to receive the balance in. reason
able sums month by month.
We mail catalog to any address on
request.

The Street Boys Never Outwitted.
Rattlin' tn bones having come
under the head of Objectionable amuse-

have been gathering at the foot of

to look around for some more legiti

outfit is, to say the least, primitive.

Nadine Marshall and Marie James,
the two girls who have been made de-
PENDANTS in an attachment proceed.
Ing by Fannie Willis, the keeper Of a
notorious resort on East Seventh
street, were in Justice Barrlck's court
on Wednesday, to give testimony in
their own defense. The Willis woman
seeks TO compel the defendants to
pay certain doctor and hospital bills
which we're incurred while these de-
PENDANTS we're inmates OF the plaintiffs
house of prostitution and by reason OF
their immoral conduct as sucn IN
mates.
Some very sensational testimony
was offered by the girls in support Of
their contention that they should not
be held liable for these bills. Their
general ground for disclaiming liabil!
ity Is that II the Willis woman ad-
vanced money in payment OF these
bills, she did so In the full knowledge
that they were incurred through the
indiscretions of the defendants, as res.
idonts of the plaintiffs house. Attor-
ney Oscar NJ. Abt represents the de-
PENDANTS and Attorney Piero Is counsel
for the Willis woman.
The court took the matter under ad-
visement and will render his decision
on Saturday.

horse was sound, whereas II has since
developed that the horse was unsound

PRILLIES LEAD
DUE To BENDER
Remarkable Indian TWirIer
Has Placed Philadelphia
in Front Ranks.

IT the American league pennant Of 1907
goes to Philadelphia, Connie Mack will
find 10 one to whom more thanks are due
than his big Indian pitcher, Albert Ben
DER. Bender has made a most remark
able record this season. He not only holds
the major league record for the present
season for consecutive victories. but ne
has proved a star with the willow and
came to the rescue of his team in many d
pinch But il is his pitching record that
commands most attention.
Beginning on June %. Bender won every
one of the eleven games he pitched until
August p. In these games the Athletics
scored forty-five runs while their ODDO-
neatS scored but eleven. an average CT
one run to a game. The opposing teams
never scored more than two runs on Ben
der. And the remarka bic part Of il is
that Bender was used against the strong
est teams in the league. the teams that
are racing the Athletics for the pennant.
on August . Bender's streak was broken
when he lost q One-ScOre game to the
White SOX. 1t will be remembered that
il was Bender who clinched the hold of
the Athletics on the pennant two years
ago. Wise ones in baseball say that Ben
der is to play an important part in wiz
ming from the Tigers this year Jennings
places his hope on young Summers. whom
he got from indianapolis. But Bender
is the more experienced mamie has been
through the mill before. And experience
counts heavily in baseball.

TOMMY BURNS AS 4 FREAK

Speaking about Tommy Burns it might
be in order to tell what he is doing right
now. Tommy left the coast a week or
two ago and is now at Detroit. where
he is exhibiting himself in a Decent
museum at the fair being held there.
He is brought out on the platform in
front of the tent in which he has his
show every few minutes, and the speiler
throws few bouquets at Tom and then
a couple of boosters" push up TO the
ticket sellers stand and purchase their
ducats and, of course. the crowd follows
suit Inside Burns gives some sort of an
exhibition which lasts but short while,
and then the crowd is dismissed and
Tommy resumes his stand on the plat
FORM the speiler does another "chirp
and the boosters get busy again, and
then the same old gag over again.
This is the first time in the history of
the prize ring where il was ever known
of a heavyweight champion" doing a
stunt at a street carnival museum. An
eastern paper just received prints pic
ture of Burns on the platform in front
of his tent and the caption under the
cut refers to him as "the near-chanDion
posing as a museum freak"

JOHN |. SULLIVAN
STILL HATES CORBETT

In all the alleged grudges between
fighters there is only one real hatred.
The detestation in which John L. Sui
Ivan holds James J. Corbett is beau
tiful to behOld-it is so sincere and
genuine.
Most of the other feuds are deadly
only when the match is pending and
the gate is to be increased by public
belief i'm the bad blood which will
drive the boxers to frenzied efforts to
beat each other.
Then, when the fight is over, and the
dear public has yielded up its coin. the
victor and vanquished meet, shake
hands, talk it over, and arrange to ap-
pear together in vaudeville.
The latest announcement OF this kind
is the Young Corbett- McGovern team.
it was long supposed that the Denver
boy who lifted the title of Terrible
Terry could never be brought within
speaking distance of the man he
downed. and Terry has expressed a
thousand times his undying hatred for
Corbett. not because he won the feath-
erweight title, but because of the lam
guage he used in exciting Terry to the
point of losing his head and leaving
himself open for the punch on the jaw
that put him away. Now, in the chase
for the public's dollar this is all over
looked and the pair will do turn to-
gether and split the proceeds.
They all do It. All but Sullivan. Fiji
teen years have passed since Pompa-
dour Jim laid low the Boston boy, but
John L. does not hate him any the less
than on the fatal morning when he
awoke TO find himself a dethroned
champion.
