control was surprising. Having famed

The fourth inning brought a sudden

throw to second. He then resigned In
favor Of Moore, leaving the game with

are in charge of W. G. Hildebrand,

There liave been rumors at various

be built aud that the Denver and Rio
Grande would operate its through

Denver over tho Moffat road and cut
out the long route by way Of Pueblo.

The American Honey Gatherer.

One hundred and sixty million
pounds of honey seems like a good
deal for bugs the size of bees to col
lect every year, and yet this is credi-
tably reported to the Department OF
Commerce and Labor by Vice Con-
sui Charles Karminskl, of Seville, to
be the regular annual supply of the
world. Germany, he says, leads the
nations with 10000 tons a year, fol-
lowed by Spain with 10000. Aus
tria is good third, with is, 700, and
France brings up the rear of the
principals with 10000 tons per an
mum. Several other European coun.
tries are credited with few thou.
sand tons, but the United States is
not even mentioned in the list. So
far as the reader might gather there
might be no bees in this country al
all. AS matter of fact, however,
the American bee is quite busy, SO
say Government figures, for accord.
ing to the census of 1900, the bees
of 1889 produced $4,000 tons OF
sweet stuff.
