UPSET BOAT A SOUND BELL.
Woman's Voice Earried Half a Mile to
 Man In Motor Boat.

By a most peculiar means were two women and two men rescued from drowning in the Susquehanna river at Millersburg, Pa. the other day. Miss Maude Hamaker, accompanied by her guest, Miss Nellie Lehman of Renovo, and two men from Lykens, was up- set at a rowing party. Miss Hamaker and the two men jumped and held to the keel, but Miss Lehman's dress caught on nail, and she came up with her head in the air chamber forrl- ed between the upturned bottom of the boat and the surface of the water.
 In this supposed death trap she fran tically screamed for help. Although she thought the resounding echo of her voice in the snt.l chamber was only a mocking death. her voice was carried by the water and heard by Mark John son in his motor boat half mile away.
 Fastening to the rescue, he could not account for the strange female voice heard so distinctly amid the screams of Miss Hamaker. Not until she appealed to him to right her boat did he realize the strangely heroic role Miss Lehman played.

NEW PERIL IN COAL MINING.
Americans Ran Across Superstition In
 Philippines That Made Trouble.


 "The soldiers out in the Philippines may get all the excitement they want. but none of them ever had time that befell bunch of us coal miners on the island of Cebu," said a mining en- gineer to a reporter of the New York Sun. "The Filipinos in the section of Cebu where, the coal fields are situated are unusually superstititious, and in going to and from the mines we had to pass a good many native houses, After we had been making the trip a few times we noticed that the native chil- dren would run at the sight of us, and we could see the mothers drag them in out of our path and try to conceal them. The men also became very surly. .>'
 Nothing happened until late one night when one of the engineers was stopped by party of Filipinos at some distance from camp. The natives all had bolos and spears, and the engineer got out his revolver and prepared to defend himself when minor official of the village appeared and, after talk ing with the men, told the engineer what the trouble was. It appears that some mischief maker, either to make trouble for us or to play upon the credulity of the natives, told them the principal way the Americans found out where there was coal mine was to kill a Filipino child and let its blood drop on the ground. If the blood soaked into the ground without leaving trace there was coal underneath.
 Tt took us long time to convince the natives of the falsity of this story, and the situation got so serious be- fore they believed us that the constab- ulary had to keep guard over lot of coal camps for long time"

ED WALSH,

which would put an end TO two such
serious accidents as have befallen two
New York players this week IL would
be materially 20 the advantage of the
national game. There was a time when
It would have been said that cutting
down the New York players was inten-
tional. but thank goodness that is grow
ing ont of baseball. The old revenCefui
spirit which was IN existence ten years
ago is slowly but surely being eliminated
from the game
May Cost Giants Flag.
The players enter into their contests
with far better spirit and with far less
inclination 10 get back at somebody
for a fancied grievance Nevertheless.
Doyle was injured SO that he was COM
PEELED 10 stop playing, and at the very
moment when the New York club need
ed his services most, and Bridweu was
severely cut when. Of all times, the
Giants can least afford TO spare him.
Suppose those two injuries should
happen to cost the New York club the
championships a pretty price 70 pay

Johnson Does His Share by

Hits.
GATES AND SHIPKE
TRIED AT SECOND
They Fail to Shine, But Are Not
Responsible for Washington
Losing / to 0.

To hold the other fellows to three
hits, have your own team make eight
safe swats. and then lose the game, is
somewhat provoking For this reason
there Is no kick coming il Walter John
son, washington's pitcher who had
this unsual experience yesterday, is in
a bad humor today, as consequence Of
his club being beaten in Chicago yester-
day TO 0.
As a result of Manager Cantillon's de-
cision not to play Delehanty against any
of the Western clubs, Gates was at
second until the eighth inring, when
Jack Warner batted for him. Bill
Shipke. the poor lad who has been af-
ficted with a broken finger, played sec
ond i'm the eighth inning, and managed
70 make an error on the only chance
offered him The batting order was not
changed. and Gates batted in Dele
hanty's place.
Chicago scored in the eighth. Ander-
son whacked twO-bagger Davis
smac5cd one to Freeman. who errored
in throwing it to third to head off An
derson. and Anderson scored on Par
ents fly 20 Milan.
In the eighth inning Unglaub was
worked around 10 third and tried TO
steal home. In his hurry he bowled
over I'd Walsh. who was attempting q
siugIe-handed stunt in the way of elm
mating the enemy. Walsh was quite
sore about. it and started TO fight ing

Atz. who had nothing to DO with il, cut

The spik.ng OF Doyle and Bridwels
of the New York team, and Doolan. of

similar kind this season, has caused
the question OF what should be done TO

John 3. Foster, Of the New York
Evening Telegram, writes.
The spike question is not a new one
I'm baseball 1t has been discussed by

Of shoes have tried devices. which have

by his order barring Delehanty from the
