CANANEA LOSES FOUR OUT OF SIX.
MOrenci Takes Three Straight Visitors
Shut Out Three Times.

The series of ball games just played
on the local diamond with Cananea
clearly demonstrates that the Mexico
boys are not as fast as they thought.
Until they met their equals on the
Clifton diamond they had their own
way, but three shut-outs in six games
ought to tame them for a while. One
of the features of the games was the
excellent record made by the Morenci
team. 1t required twenty-seven in
nings for Cananea to make one run.
The first game of the series between
the Canenea-Clifton-M OrenCi teams
was pulled off on the Clifton diamond
Saturday afternoon, the contest be-
ing between MoreuCi and Cananea.
The grandstand was well filed long
before the game was called and both
teams ppeared in good form, al
though in practice it look ed as though
odds were in favor of the visitors.
On account of numerous reports pre-
vious to che arrival of the Cananaa
team, great many of the local fans
were of the opinion that they were
sluggers and of course made up their
| minds that Morenci was a dead one.
| But when Harmon entered the box
| for Morenci the visitors reputation
as sluggers soon disappeared beneath
| the dust and they continued to kick
and swipe at the atmosphere up tc
! the end of the ninth inning when they
gave up the ghost TO the lovely tune

On Sunday afternoon MOrenci again
shut out the visitors, the score being
90. Asheley was in the box for Mo
renci and put up good game. There
was no time that the visitors had
chance to win and the only chance
they had to score was in the third
when they had three men on and none
out, but Morenci put up a triple play
and that settled it. The following is

Theo. Shirley, who is at present
probate Judge of Graham county, and
who has already expressed himself as
a candidate sor reelection, visited
Clifton last week, meeting old friends
and making new ones. The Judge lost
no ground during his visit here and
no doubt laid a good foundation for
his opponent to stumble over. The
fact that the judge made such a mag
niGcent race in the last campaign
will make the democrats think twice
before turning him down. Mr.. Shir-
lev has conducted the affairs of his
Office in Il creditable manner and so
far there has been no complaint filed
against him. After visiting Morenci
and Metcalf he returned to his home
at Solomonville.

CHINESE STUDENTS IN AMERICA
Encouragement Given TO Those Seek
ING an Occidental Education.

The Journal of the American asso-
citation of China publishes an article
on Chinese students i'm the United
states. 1t opens by quoting the Hon.
Oscar L. Straus, secretary of COM
merce and labor. on THE Spirit and
Letter of Exclusion as follows: by
making admission the rule, and ex-
clusion the exception, we could easily
preserve the present policy In all It's
integrity. and even strengthen the
real prohibitory features thereof at
the same time entirely removing a
material cause of friction, dissatisfac-
ton and unnecessary humiliation to
the people of a friendly nation" The
Journal then gives the following in
formation about the progress of ma
circulation of Chinese students IN
American colleges:
The leading universities in the
United States have adopted a most
generous policy, and are doing every
thing they can to encourage Chinese
-.a tents to come to America. Har-
ward. Yale. Columbia. Cornell and the
Of California offer scholar
ships to those Chinese students who
come well recommended, and all
through the country there is an
earnest desire on the part of presi-
dents of colleges to throw open their
doors to the Chinese,
Recently two subcommittee. one !
appointed by the American University |

together to effect, If possible, some !

the United States Mr.. Charles Den
by, consul general at Shanghai, has |
taken great interest i'm the matter. |
The important work to be done is |

must be devised to inform intending |
that America is glad to have |
them come, and in the second place |

FORTUNE STARTED BY A FIRE
Morgan Millions Had Their Begin
ming In Fire Sale Bar
gains.

The foundation of the great wealth of
J. p. Morgan was laid by the great fire
which swept New York City In 1895. At
that time Mr.. Morgan's father was a
youth OF is years and a dry goods clerk
in Hartford and his grandfather was a
modest innkeeper. He was the propri-
etor of the City hotel in Hartford.
When the flames swept New York in
1885 one of the fire insurance companies
OF Hartford was known to be a heavy
loser. 1t had not then become so great
a financial institution that it could face
such a loss without misgivings. Many
stockholders became alarmed and offered
shares at a great sacrifice.
As usual, such topics were discussed In
the hotel corridors, and Mr.. Morgan was
offered much stock nearly as a gift.
John Warburton, who was then one of
the wealthiest me in the country. advised
him to take all he could get at these
prices and advanced money to him. The
lnnkeeper began buying and soon had
bought a majority of the stock at prices
ranging from 2h to 10 cents on the dol
lar. Six leading men of Hartford then
signed a note for s1O0.0 900. discounted II
at the Hartford bank and placed the
Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-04

proceeds at the disposal of the insur-
ance company.
The company met all of it's losses and
wrote a large amount OF new business.
The result was a great boom for the
company and Mr.. Morgan found himself
worth $3.50, 900 when the tangles were
Strengthened out. i.-4saN
Mr.. Morgan's first thought was for
his son, who was working as a dry
goods clerk. He decided that his son.
Junius S. Morgan. should become a mer-
chant.
An interest was bought for him in a
large mercantile house in Boston. The
firm p~rospeGed and in a few years young
Morgan sold his interest for $500, 600.
He continued in the mercantile business
Tor several years longer, however, and
increased his fortune to the extent Of
100000. Junius S. Morgan then deter
mined to go to London, where he became
a partner of George Peabody, the Amer
lean banker
There he adhered to the same strict i'm
tegrity which had made him successful
in his native country, and he began to
train his son, j. Pierpont Morgan, in the
same way. J. p. Morgan worked for years
In the foreign exchange department Of
his fathers banking house, until he was
recognized as one of the leading foreign
experts in the world. He then returned
to the United States. Today j. Pierpoht
Morgan is believed to be worth NOR,
