BARONS WAY UP
 TODAY ONE YEAR

One year ago yesterday. the Barons de- feated Shreveport in an Il inning contest.
 This victory made them the leaders of the second division.
 The following day, Hickman defeated them with comparative ease.
 The next day was Saturday. New Or leans won a double-header from the Barons, Wilhelm having been engaged in 8 magnificent pitchers battle against Manuel, a battle which rotten decision of Chief Bender terminated, and Ragan having shown nothing in the second.
 Sunday, the Barons won a double-header from the Pelicans. Turner held the Birds to one hit, and Clark had everything, flaming out nine.
 As a result of these games, the Barons were thrown back to seventh place.
 But today a year ago, the Barons had won 20 and lost 2 games.
 They were leading the second division. and were fifth in the standing, with a percentage of .476.

ALASKA FLOURISHES.
Its Trade Growing and the Tonnage
 Engaged in 1t Increases.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 The manner in which the trade of Se- attle with Alaska is expanding is shown in the resolution adopted at the annual meeting of the Northwestern Commer- oia company to build two new steam ships, at the cost of s50o,oO0 each, to con- meet with the ocean terminal of the rail- read which the company now has under construction in the northern territory That there will be plenty of business for the new steamships is assured in advance of their construction. Moreover, as they ply to ports which are never closed by the ice in winter. there will be an all- year business for them.
 Few people realize how extensive is the tonnage employed in the trade between Seattle and Alaska points During the last fiscal year there cleared from Puget sound to Alaska Al vessels of 3S5, 4A tons, carrying domestic merchandise to the value of s16,225,547, and the last fiscal year was not as good from a trade standpoint as the present one promises to be- The labor troubles in the interior had a somewhat depressing effect and limited the demand for imports as well ss the production of gold.
 The two splendid new vessels which the Northwestern Commercial company has decided to build are for a trade which is expected to develop on the com pletion of the railroad which the compa- ny is building and the opening of the coal mines and copper mines which that railroad is built to develop. The new dis tricts thus opened to exploitation promise to add very largely to 7 the wealth of Alaska, and will within very brief ;,eriod support a considerable population. If Seattle keeps the relative share of the new business in Alaska which it has had Up to this time 1t will control nearly all of the trade of the new district.
 It is not a difficult proposition to figure out that If the trade of that district r-omises to be so great as to necessitate the construction of two steamships at & cost of $500,000 each in order merely to handle the tonnage. the returns to the merchants of the city of Seattle. who will handle the trade itself if they are alert to their opportunities, will be very great

THE BREAksNAkE A WONDER.
Its Accomplishments Put Even the Ma
 ture Fakirs to Shame.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 News of the killing of a two-headed snake on the right of way of the Penn sylvania railroad near Bloomsburg, Pa., the other day, by a man named Frank Keim, will, we are almost certain, re- vive interest in what is, perhaps, one of the most fascinating of American reptiles. We mean, of course, the breaksnake.
 The remains of the two-h eaded snake, we are informed. are now in possession of P. F. Shuman of Cattawissa, Pa., who will be glad to show them to any interested person. By some who have examined it it is pronounced a black snake. It is, however, as we have all ready intima ted a breaksnake, a rep tile which used to be common in Illi- nois a few years ago, and is even now found in tins state and in other parts of the middle west on rare occasions.
 Judging by its measurement, it was at the time of it's death in what might be termed its altogether form. That is, it had not yet broken so that it might forage more successfully and econom- ically. A little later 1t would have fallen into many little pieces, each piece complete in itself, and these, aft CT scattering and remaining apart in the interval, would come together every Saturday evening and remain as one complete wh ole over Sunday.
 As the. season advanced the break snake would break In longer lengths, until about roasting ear time it would enter the corn field in four parts, com ing together at the end of every week in the manner already stated.
 There have been instances, of course where part has been killed while ab- sent from the other parts or from tn e complete whole. In such cases the re- maining parts would come together as if nothing had happened.
 The late James P. Gilman of Du Page county, who left a large collection of snake data, observed one case where after an absence of several weeks, a missing part returned on Sunday and demanded admission to the whole. The latter had already grown a new part to take the place of the part missing, and would not break so as permit the wanderer ito come in. After a vicious fight, in which the smaller part was worsted, the latter ran up a tree and patiently waited it's chance. In a little while the complete whole passed be- heath, when the detached part let it . self fall upon the middle of the parent snake with such force that the latter broke in two. Before it could reunite the rejected joint had slipped into it's place.

How He Saved Labor.

From the Chicago News
 One day man went into a very big store. He had a heavy package with him.
 Not in the sense you mean, smartias. but in the real sense.
 He had to go two blocks further down the street and didn't want to carry the packages. So decided that he would leave it in the check room.
 He asked floorwalker (who looked liks United States senator, but who was Il perfect gentleman) where the check room was. The 1oorwalzer said:
 @rhreeaslesoverdowns wnstairsandoveronthe Wabashside."
 He went there, wherever that was, and found he had made a mistake.
 He knew it was himself who had made the mistake, for as nice a man a floor walker with a Prince Albert on couldn t have made mistake
 Finally after he had lugged his bun dle g blocks hunting this checkroom, had found the check room and deposited his bundle, he walked his two blocks to the other place and was through for the day.
 Then he soliloquized:
 How should I ever have got through or stood the wear and tear of that long two blocks carrying that bundle? If it hadn't been for the checkroom system what could have done?"
 The Text Took Effect. From Everybody's Magazine.
 Little Johnnie, aged 6. had been to church and had displayed more than usual interest in the sermon, in which the origin of Eve had been dwelt on at some length. On his return from the services. there being company to dinner, he had also displayed a good deal of interest In the eatables. especially the nnince pie and cakes Some time afterward, being missed, he was found sitting quietly in corner with his hands pressed tightly over his ribs and an expression of awful anxiety on his face.
 Why, what on earth is the matter?'' asked his mother in alarm.
