him and dragged him into the cage.
By clinging to the elephants tusks the

ARE HITTING HARD.
American Association Teams Make a
Good Showing.

Minneapolis, July 29.-The Ameri-
can association teams have displayed
no real weakness in batting this sea-
son, despite the general belief that the
pitchers are of a superior class.
Two hundred and fifty-one times this
season the teams have hit into double
figures. This means that over 35 per
cent of the hitting done by American
association teams this season has been
for ten or more hits in a single game.
Toledo. and st. Paul have the best
records for smuggling contests.
Toledo has made ten hits or more
on forty-three different occasions this
year and st. Paul on thirty-eight.
Columbus made twenty-four in one
game. which is the best record for the
season.
Kansas City. Indianapolis and Louis
vile have made twenty hits in a single
game.
Indianapolis is the only team to
make nineteen hits in one game.
Columbus has twice made eighteen
hits in one game.
Toledo has made sixteen hits on six
Milwaukee has made fifteen hits five
different times.
ST. Paul has made eleven hits in if

PAY is TOO SMALL.
United States soldier Receives Less
Than Almost Any Other

Washington, July 29.-It has been
assumed that Urcle Sans soldiers
were by far the best paid in the
world, and that belief has in large
part been the cause of the failure of
attempts made in the past to secure
Increases in pay for our own soldiers
But now. in connection with the sys-
tematic preparations that are being
made to lay the subject of something
wrong with the army before congress
az the next session, it has been dis
covered that this belief is founded in
error and that several nations are
much more liberal in treatment of
their soldiers than is the United
States.
This fact will be brought to the at
tention of congress in connection with
the subject of a general increase of
salary of both army and navy. Copies
of recruiting pamphlets circulated
freely in Canada make a strong show
ing on this point. A Canadian ser
geant, for instance, enters upon his
service with a wage of one dollar per
day which increases according to the
provisions of the longevity law to one
dollar and quarter. The American
sergeant gets SIS at first and his ex-
penses are larger than the Canadian
noncom missioned officer, because of
the considera BILE differences in the
scale of living and the lower tariff
rates upon the necessities of life in
Canada. The same difference of wage
runs through ali the grades of the
two armies.
Even Cuba pays her soldiers three
times as much as the American pri-
waite. The Cuban rural guard gets
the pay of a New York policeman.
Other countries than these two exceed
America in the pay allowed their SOL
diers and the date are being gotten to-
gether to make up strong case to
demonstrate to congress that the real
reason for the numerous assertions
fl ON the American army is not dis
satisfaction with the hard work or dis
like for some particular officer nor
even the lack of a simple and we'll
regulated canteen, but the small wage
paid to the soldier compared with the
compensation in civil life. And in this
connection it will be shown in the
presentation of the subject that the
present scale was fixed by law more
than fifty years ago (there has been
cnly one increase and that of only one
dollar per month in that time), when
the wages of civilian workmen were
probably not much more than a third
Of the present scale.
