the meeting, and last night he sigued
Attell. Able is to leave for Los An
geles Tuesday.
The Los Angeles match maker was
highly pleased in securing AttelTs con-
sent, and he is working on the feather
weight champion to try to induce him
to meet the clever Freddie Welsh in a
20 or rs round fight before the Vernon
club about Thanksgiving day.
Attell did not take so kindly to the
proposition to meet Welsh, but he
openly limited that he would not min
crossing arms with the little English
man in a 10 round engagement.
1t may also be remarked that Attel
has very large commercial bump, ant
he would like to talk business with
Tom McCarey who runs 10 round fights
in Los Angeles, before taking on the
Welsh boy.
Able will receive a. nice wad OF
money for meeting Wolgast. He is 10
get $4,000 for his end win; lose OF
draw, which in these dark financial
days is rather attractive bit of money
even for champion.
Long had originally intended to try
to induce the shifty Abe to meet VOL.
CAST in 25 round bout. Able declined
this proposition and gave as his rea-
son that the time was too short fol
him to get into proper shape for a %
round engagement.
Long will remain in the city a day
or two and will then hike back to Los
Angeles to prepare for holding the
show. He says that the Jeffries club
has a roof over it's pavilion and that
it is one of the classiest fight arenas
in America.

SEATTLE, October 24.-Never in
the history of baseball did the season
close in the big leagues in a manner
so highly unsatisfactory to the ma
jority of rooters of both the major
organizations. And this in spite of
the fact that the finish in each league
was about the most exciting that could
be imagined, the very last game be-
tween contending teams deciding the
pennant in each instance.

UNSATISFACTORY end

a bogus backstop on the job. The New
York Giants have four catchers eligible
for the worlds games, the Chicago
Cubs three and the Pittsburg Pirates
three. Two is a ridiculously small
number.
American league fans hope the tt
gers will be able to continue their
smuggling into the big games. They
hope Catcher Schmidt won't go COM
pletely to pieces, and throw like a
Roman candle while National league
batters run the bases. But they have
little except hope to cheer them.
AS for the National league cham
pionship, the finish was fearful mud

New York and Chicago yelling muir
der, fire and highway robbery over
the game that Merkle messed up, with
Chicago still growing about the sim
liar game which was protested against
Pittsburg, and protested in vain, the
finish, close as it was, was far from
satisfactory to anybody.
There seems no certainty at all
that the best team won out in either
league. The post-season battles will
be watched with great interest, but
after they are over there will be too
many post mortems" for the good of

No Need of Cotton Famine.

The cotton spinners Of the world are
needlessly alarmed lest the ability of
the south to increase her cotton pro-
duction will not keep pace with the in
creasing. number of spindles and looms,
says the Southern Farm Magazine.
Governor Hoke Smith Of Georgia in a
recent article or interview says that
his state alone if necessary could pro-
duce as much cotton as is now being
produced by the entire south. The
same is true Of Mississippi and more
than doubly true OF Texas. The labor
supply is absolutely the only difficulty
that prevents the expansion Of cotton
production in the south to almost any
limit that might be desired

Story of an Odd incident In a Dental
Hospital.

Story of an Odd incident In a Dental
Hospital.
A remarkable incident happened re-
Gently at a dental hospital. A young
woman went there to have five teeth
extracted. The anaesthetic decided
upon by the dental surgeon was ethyl
chloride, and this was administered by
the usual form Of apparatus. An in
Ola rubber cap is placed over the pa
TENTS mouth and nostrlls, and con-
nected with 1t is bag into which a
sealed capsule of ethyl chloride is in
troduced BY the turning of a screw
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anaesthetic liberated. The
screw was turned, the patient went off
gradually into the usual condition of
insensibility. five teeth were extracted,
and the patient awakened without feel
ing any part of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly
normal. Only when the young wo-
man had left the room and the ap-
paratus was being made ready for
another patient was it discovered that
the capsule of ethyl chloride had by
some mischance not been broken at all.
The whole condition Of insensibility
had been brought about by the self
hypnotism of the patient The idea
that an anaesthetic was being admin
istered was SO strong in her mind that
she had passed into insensibility en-
tirely by hypnotic uggestion.-Bosto

THE KoNGo FOREST.
Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
Region Of Mystery.

Region OF mystery.
The mightiest forest Of which the
human race has any knowledge today
is that of the Kongo. It is a region
of impenetrable mystery concerning
which accounts have been SO strange
that until the past few years they
have been deemed incredible. But re-
cent discovery has transformed scien-
tific incredulity into measure of be-
lief Thus on the basis of Sir Harry
Johnston's explorations of Uganda a
giant ape larger than the gorilla is a
denizen of this tremendous forest re-
gion There, too, are animals OF
quite unfamiliar kind, notably the
okapi. The forest seems to be the re-
sort of the five horned giraffe, the
tallest mammal in the world. The
hugest elephants, bearing tremendous
tusks, are there. The largest fish
found in all Africa haunt the streams
meandering through the recesses of
this forest Lions seem not to pene-
trate into the thick growth of the jun
gle thereabouts. The forest leopards
are arboreal, catching monkeys for
their food.
The curiosity Of the mighty forest is
unquestionably the okapi, large and
seemingly new mammal, discovered
by Sir Harry Johnston. In his books
of travel Stanley told of an animal of
ass-like appearance existing in the
dense forest which was caught In
pits. The occurrence of anything like
quadruped of the equine sort in the
thickness of an impenetrable forest
seemed so anomalous that no scientist
of standing would credit the POSSIBLE
ity; hence the determination Of Sir
Harry Johnston to inyestigate.-Cur
