A WOMAN LIN0UlST.
Miss Elizabeth Cotton Speaks ols
Languages Fiusntiy.


Miss Elizabeth s. Cotton. New
England girl, has just returned from
India with the reputation OF being the
greatest woman llngulst In the world.
Before going 10 India she was stu.
dent In the classes OF the leading ori.
entalists OF the University Of Berlin.
and before that she learned all that
Harvard ana Yale had to give OF In.
structlon IN the languages OF the east
Her early education was musical,
modern languages being taken up an no
many tools In her musical education.
But her family objected TO her chosen
career OF concert singer. and 10 con-
sole herself she took up the study OF
oriental languages.
Miss Cotton first took up Semitic
tongues and graduated with certificates
from the American Institute Of Sacred
Literature IN Hebrew. Arabic and As
syrian, Then for two years she read
classical Arabic and Assyrian inscrip-
tlons with Professor Sanders OF Yale
university. Four years ago she en-
tered Radcliffe college ~ special stu

1t Is very simple to clean clock,
which may sound very absurd For
an amateur II Is not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With a
little care and patience and using some
benzlne, a clean white rag, q sable
brush and some oil clock can be
cleaned and put In first class running
order. The benzinc should be clean
and free from oil. You can test ben.
zine by putting little on the back OF
the hand. II It is good It win dry Off,
leaving the hand quite clean, but II
any grease remains on the hand II IL
not fit TO use
The oil should be OF the very best
that can be procured; says Popular
Mechanics. Vegetable oils should
never be used. Clock oil can be pro
cured from your druggist or jeweler.
All loose dirt should be removed
from the works by blowing with
bellows or fan or dustlng with dry
brush In the latter case great care
should be exercised not TO injure any
OF the parts. Dip the brush In the
benzlne and clean the splndles and
spindle holes, and the teeth OF the es-
capement wheel. After washing a
part wipe the brush on the rag and
rinse In the benzlne. This should be
repeated frequently uptil no more dirt
ls seen.
When the clock has dried oil the

done with toothpick or silver OF

latber OF white soap IL made, into
which the velveteen Is dipped, then

removed, when It Is rinsed In clean
cold water, but not speezed or wrung,
as this would spoil the pile, II IL dried
In the air, and sometimes the back In
drawn over hot iron. but this Is not
absolutely necessary. Light velvets
are cleaned by gently rubbing with a
flannel previously dipped IN kerosene

bacon or butter, when the wrong side
requires drawing over hot iron In

FIRE AT MINIDOKA.

The Short Line depot at Minidoka
station was completely destroyed by
fire early Thursday morning The loss
is estimated at $4500. exclusive Of the
value of small quantity of merchan-
disc in the freight house and three
box cars on siding. All of the Unit
ed States mail matter awaiting trans
fer to the Twin Falls branch and all
the express matter was saved from
the flames. The origin of the fire is
unknown. 1t caught from burning
box car on side track, but how the
car was ignited is a mystery. The
first blaze was discovered at 1880. A
special train consisting of an engine
and a coach was sent out of Pocatello,
with Supervisor James A. Weed OF the
the brides and building departments,
Roadmaster McGonigle and Chief
Clerk R. N. Stockslager of Division

count of the fire for three hours.-Po-

MCLEOD. OF THE BOISE
SHAMROCKS, IS INDIGNANT.

The Boise Shamrocks, champions of
southern Idaho, returned home yes
terday morning from Twin Falls,
where they played return series of
three games with the Farmers. In
two OF these games the locals lost.
Members of the Shamrock band are
very indignant over an alleged steal
of the last game of the series. With
the score in the second inning to 0
in favor of Boise, Twin Falls called
out the umpire who. the Boise play
ers say, had been giving square deal,
and put in another man.
Speaking of the trip, Manager Bobby
Mcleod of the locals, said yesterday
afternoon:
II consider the last game of the SER
les stolen from us. In the second in
ming with the score to 0 in our ia
vor, and Umpire Hays giving square
deal to ALL the Twin Falls team called
Mr. Hays to their bench and he did
not return to finish the game. Another
man was sent out to Officiate, whose
decisions were the worst have ever
seen He seemed to know the game
all right, but it looked like he was
there for the purpose of giving the
game to Twin Falls.
"He called Case out once when he
was safe mile. Casey had hunted,
and the umpire called him out on an
alleged interference with the ball
when he had not touched the sphere.
Green had to groove the ball every
time If strikes were called at all. No
corners were allowed.
"Our treatment by the Twin Falls
team was not nearly as good as the
treatment given them here, of which
they complained. When they came
here they we're accorded the best SER
vice customary in such cases. They
we're kept at a f1rst-class hotel and ate
at one of the best restaurants In the
city, no limit being placed upon the
expense of their meals. We were
taken into the rear of billiard hall
to eat. and the food was anything but
good.

Falls team every jump In the road

proved here that we were their SUPER

Manager Mcleod is enthusiastic
over the work of his team at Twin
Falls. Case, Green and others of the
team did some good stick work. There
were numerous errors in the first
game, but the field was muddy and one
could hardly move without slipping
and falling. On the whole the Sham
rocks presented a strong lineup.
Wells and Bragaw each pitched ex-
cellent games.-Statesman.
The above article published in the
Statesman, reflects little credit upon
the sportsmanlike character Of the
Boise Shamrocks. Most teams that
have visited here have been game
enough to take their defeats in a gen.
tlemanly manner and have not gone
home with the cry of being jobbed
Boise Is the first town to ever decry
Twin Falls hospitality and she is very
likely alone in that howl.
AS to the charge of unfairness on
the part of the umpire the visitors did
not state the truth. Henderson, the
umpire whom they accuse of unfair
ness, umpired the morning game,
which Boise won and showed unmis-
takably that he understood the game
In this game 1t was true Umpire
Hayes was taken out, but upon his own
request, because of illness and not be-
cause Twin Falls wished to win the
game by foul.
The decision which the Boise man.
ager kicked on when Case was put out
for interference was such an obvious
attempt at interference that no one
could question it. The ball was at
least ten feet within line along which
Case should have run and when he
went that ten feet out OF his way in
order to prevent Murphy, the Twin
Falls pitcher, from fielding the ball he
stopped to dirty ball playing and rich
ly deserved what he got from the UNI
pire. On this one dirty act of one of
their players the ShamrOcks base their
whole kick.
With regard to the hotel accommo-
dations accorded them. 1t was better
than they deserved. The Times report
err was at the train when the Boise
players arrived and 1t was too appar-
ent that two of the players were out
rageOusly drunk, and when taken to
the Perrine hotel, which, by the way,
is one of the best in the state, the man
ager of the hotel refused to take them
in, because of the evident condition of
the players and he could not be blam-

ers did not receive the treatment they
thought they deserved, 1t was due sole

announced to his mother that he was
tired of praying for what he did not
get, and that he did not believe God
