ARE MAKING TOWN TO ORDER.
Prince Rupert Will Belize Greatest
Model City Yet Built.

4 Boston firm of landscape archi-
tects has been awarded the contract
for making the general plans for the
model city which the Grand Trunk
Pacific railroad is to build in British
Columbia as the Pacific terminus OF
The great new railroad system which
is now being built across Canada.
The contract is one. of the largest
ever given for a similar undertaking,
says the Village. AS yet there is only
a small settlement where it is intend
ed a large and important commercial
and manufacturing city will be built.
The settlement is o.. Kaiea Island and
thu. new city will be known as Prince
Rupert.
The area which is available for the
site comprises between seven and
eight square miles. although only a
small part of this will be developed
within the near future. The island
10 of considerable size. but only about
onetthird will be available because OF
ths. mountain, Mount Hays, which ris-
es@ to- an elevation Of $500 feet near
t<he. center of the island.
The railroad will cross from the
mainland to Porpoise Island and then
to Kaien Island by means of bridges,
the first Of which win be about a quar-
ter OF q mile In length and the second
some 200 fest long. Already a dock
q Thousand feet long has been con
structed along a part of the waterfront
and 1t IL planned to extend this for a
much longer distance. The shores are
very bold and this will aid greatly In
preparing places for shipping and also
keep down the cost of building docks.
II is said to be the plan to have
the shipping and wholesale business
on the. 6rst level, which rises to Is
or, 100 feet; the retail business end
th6 public buildings on the second
level. which is some 200 feet high
and forms a sort of ridge. and ths
yresidences still further back on .
third level OF about 100 feet elevation
Ample provision for parks will be
made. There is an excellent chance
for N on q central elevation, anothe.

RACCOON GIVES BATTLE
TO JERSEY POLICEMAN
Rips the BIuecoat's Trousers to
Shreds and LacerateS His
Neither Limbs

NEW YORK, July 25.-In fight with
a big raccoon Policeman John j. Keat-
ing of Bayonne, n. J., was so badly
scratched that he had to go home to
nurse his wounds. He finally killed the
animal with the butt end of a rifle and
he will keep the skin as a trophy. In
cidentally he will have to get new uni
form trousers, as those he wore were
ripped from the knee down by the rae
coon.
Heating spied the raccoon at the cor
ner of First street and Lexington ave-
nue. and at once gave chase. The quarry
lost no time in making for a tree.
James Connors got a long pole and
knocked the animal off a limb. When
the raccoon struck the ground it made
for Heating, who had drawn his revol-
yer, but in his excitement he dropped
the weapon.
He used his club with vigor. but, de-
spite the blows, the raccoon sprang re-
peatedly upon him and its sharp claws
tore into his flesh. Connors ran to the
home of Richard Flood for a rifle. He
fired twice at the raccoon, but missed.
Connors tossed the rife to Keating,
who brought down the butt on the
raccoons head with fatal effect.
The raccoon weighed 40 pounds. 1t
is said to be the first seen in Bayonne
for at least 20 years.

NEW YORK, July 25.-By a victory
of Z to 2 over the New York team at
the Polo grounds today the Pittsburg
team retained it's lead in the National
league pennant race. The crowd
swarmed all over the outfield and bare
ly left room for the game to be played.
Ground rules limiting hits to two bases
were adopted. The seventh inning was
disastrous for the New York team,
which. with Doyle's errors, gave Pitts
burg five runs and the game. Wagner
carried off the batting honors. Five
times at bat. he made five hits, two of
them each being good for two bases.
The crowds were beyond control of the
special police. Time after time the
fans" overjoyed at some play, rushed
upon the field and held frenZied carni-
val. An ambulance was kept on the
ground to remove those who were over
come by the heat, crush and excitement.
Several persons tainted, struggling in
the mass and the ambulance made many
trips.
Liefield was very effective, holding
the New York team to seven hits. Rain
fell during the last five innings and
hundreds who had brought umbrellas
were unable to use them owing to the
size of the crowd. Score:

FEARLEss 4F1DDLER JOSS,

Joshua Poole, who was buried at
Bradford the other day, was at one
time a great drunkard and was known
as Fiddler Joss" Fifty years ago he
was sent to Wakefield gaol for six
months and came home a changed man.
Afterward he became a great temper
ahce advocate, and a writer in the
Christian tells that he was absolutely
fearless on the platform:
THE late Thomas Stone chairman
of the first Moody and Sankey missionl
took Joss to a conference in Scotland
one afternoon. The subject was How to
Reach the Masses Joss, fresh from his
triumphant campaign with DR.. Bar
nardo in the east of London, which was
crowned by the capture OF the Edin-
burgh Castle music hall for a center of
evangelistic effort, was asked to take
part. Joss thoroughly electrified a
rather drowsy gathering with his open
ing sentence: My dear friends, since
God saved me, a drunken fiddler, be-
tween stone walls and an iron door in
Wakefield gaol / have not been in such
a strong smell of whisky as among
the ministers on this PLATFORM

TWENTY YEARS OF FUN
IN NOBLE GAME OF DRAW
$1,000, 900 Worth to Offset $2.37
Lost at Sessions of
Poker

CHICAGO, July 25.-'Lost s2.s7 play
ing poker in 20 years and had $2.O00,-
900 worth OF fun." is the way Police
Inspector Wheeler summarized his ex-
perience in the game of draw.
The twentieth anniversary of the Fri
day Night club, of which Inspector
Wheeler is the president, was what
called forth the statement. Every Fri
day night, with few exceptions, during
the last 20 years the inspector and five
other policemen have met at the board
ing house of Miss Margaret Murray,
119 Green street, and played penny
ante, five cent limit
Inspector Wheeler has kept account
of the number of seances and also of
the amounts he has won and lost. At
one time he was $7.62 ahead of the
game. That was worlds fair year. He
now sorrowfully admits that he should
have quit the game a winner. But he
wanted to increase his winnings. He
began to lose instead. and now, after
20 years of playing, he is $2.37 to the
bad.

STOUT OFFICERS
FEAR LONG RIDE
Woe in Army Circles Over Pres
ident's Order to "DO" 80
Miles for Three Days
Strenuous Efforts Made by the
Heavy Weights to Reduce
Their Ay0irdupOis

These are sorry days for the army
officer at the Preside whose avoi-du-
pois is sufficient to put him in the
big Bill' Taft or "Bill' Bryan weight
class. President Roosevelt's famous
go miles for three consecutive days
due for action in a few weeks.
According to the presidents order,
every officer in the United states army
above the rank of captain must take
the test next month to demonstrate
his physical fitness to remain In the
service. Failing in the requirement,
the alternative is retirement Ninety
miles in three days is mere pleasure
jaunt for two-thirds of the young Of
toned at the Preside whose growing
stoutness within the last few months
has caused them much alarm view tho
approaching test with such dread that
it is said some will not even at
tempt 1t.
AT any rate, long practice rides and
physical training classes with weight
reducing exercises as a speciality have
been very popular at the army post
during the last few weeks.
At the Preside the test will be held
on August 10 under the command OF
Colonel Marion p. Maus. Original or
ders from the war department directed
officers to ride 80 miles from their
posts on the first day to camp. Tho
second days ride was to be 15 miles
from the camp and back again, with
a return to the post on the third day.
1t is expected, however, that Colonel
Maus will direct that the tests shall
consist of riding 10 miles from the
Preside and back each day.
1t will come particularly hard on the
older officers who have not done sad
some of those who will take part in
the ride at the Presidio:
Colonel j. w. Duncan. Colonel W. A. Simpson,
Colonel G. l.. Anderson, Major W. A. Bethel,
