CHAMPS AGAIN BEATEN.

Not a crumb of comfort was left for
1900 west side fans when New York
got through mauling the champions
yesterday. In slathering on a to 4
trouncing the Giants rubbed it in
pretty hercely. They outplayed and
outgeneraled the champs every inch Of
the way, and at the finish the Cubs
were boiling with rage over losing
two out of three to the McGraw gang.

statement he could whip any man on
the New York team. Piacher Malar-
key took up the argument. saying:

belligerents forgot the excitement when
the last man was out.
1t was another slam-bang game
where all the fighting spirit came to
the surface. Until the last two rounds
the battle was desperately close, but
the Giants had more fight left in them
at the windup, and so breezed in with
three runs to spare.

GARY DATES LOWELL.

The Gary Commercials have secured
a game with the Lowell team which
has a reputation of being one of the
best in northern Indiana. The team
broke even with Hammond's crack
team last year in the series and ex-
poets to give Gary an awful tussle If
it does not win the games. The teams
will play Saturday and Sunday at Low
ell, and If they break even they will
probably play off the tie at a later
date It may be possible that this
summer the Gary Commercials will ar
range for tour of Iowa, where they
have already secured promises of sew
eral games. If the trip is taken 1t
will mean big advertisement to the
town.

Value of PsychicaI Research.

Why should not psyChical investi-
cation lead to practical results, asks
Sir Oliver Lodge, F. R. s., in the
World To-day. Are we satisfied with
the preaching of chaplains. That is
as civilized people content to grow a
perennial class of habitual criminals,
and 20 keep them in check only by de-
vices appropriate to savages; AuntinS
them, fiogging them, locking them up,
exterminating them? 1t is unwise and
unscientitic to leave prisoners merely
to the discipline of wardens and to
the preaching of chaplains. That IS
not the way to attack a disease of the
body polite. | have no full-blown
treatment to suggest, but ! foresee
that there will be one in the future.
Society will not be content always TO
pursue these methods of barbarism;
the resources of civilization are not
turtles they have appeared to be. The
criminal demands careful study on the
psychical side, and remedy or pallia-
tion will be a direct outcome Of one
aspect of our researches. The intlu-
ence of the unconscious or subliminal
self, the power of suggestion, the in
fluence Of one mind over another, the
phenomena Of so-called possession"
these are not academic or scientific
facts alone; they have a deep practi-
cal bearing, and sooner or later it
must be put to the proof.

Old Lifting Machine That Long Ago
Proved a Health Preserver.

The secret of perpetual youth, which
has permitted Uncle Joe" Cannon to
be as young as he is at 72, has Just
been rediscovered here by a former
senator from New Hampshire, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald. Henry w. Blair who
is no youngster himself, having been
born in 1884, and the present speaker
were fellow members of the house 80
years ago. Both at that time were in
poor health They suffered from in
digestion and were so frail and puny-
looking that each anticipated the ne
cessity Of purchasing bouquet to
place with reverent hands upon the
grave of the other. They lived in the
same boarding house in those days
and, to prolong their lives, entered
into partnership for the purchase of a
lifting machine, which they erected in
a hallway outside of their rooms and
upon which they practiced diligently
night and morning with a view to the
Improvement of their physical beings.

Railroad to Mecca.

Announcement has lately been made
that the railway from Damascus to
Mecca will be completed as far as
Medina on September l, and that in
two years more the remaining 300
miles to Mecca will be ready for use,
This is one of the most remarkable
railroads in the world. Some, if not
all, the money for its construction has
been contributed by Mussulmans in
British india and in Africa, as well rs
IN Turkey, and it is regarded by them
as religious enterprise. 1t is, intend
ed to make easier the pilgrimage to
the holy city. The religious motive
has not only led the faithful in various
parts of the world to contribute
money for the railroad, but, stranger
still, it has led the Turkish officials
and contractors engaged in the actual
work of construction to abstain from
their usual practices of dishonesty,
which in America are in a general
way called grating" The road runs
through a waterless desert for long
distances, and in these parts has not
cost, including rolling-stock, more
than 800 a mile. The best record
made in track-laying is two and three
quarter miles in day. Arrangements
are already making in Medina to Cele-
brate the entrance of the new road
into the city. While it is religious
enterprise to the Mussulmans, the rest
of the world is aware that it has
great political value to the Turkish
sultan, for it will make it easier for
him to control Arabia by sending
troops there quickly, and it will also
afford an easy route for dispatching
an army to the Egyptian frontier In
case he should think it desirable to
assist the Egyptians in any effort to
throw off British rule.
