The elasticity of the human skin plays
an important part in the operation. BY in

is an opening the size of a half dollar
piece.

quill. and from an inch to an inch and a
half below the suface Of the skin, is
pulled out. cut OF and the end tied with
a linen thread.

New Baltimore and Ohio Spur
Probably Assured.
PAST CHEVY CHASE LAKE
Branch Company Wants Land Con-
demned.
MAY GO OVER ROCK CREEK
South Washington Wharves May
Have Easy Railroad Connections.
Freight Station in Georgetown.
NAY GO OVER ROCK CREEK

1t is believed by citizens interested in
| improved shipping facilities for George
town that the contemplated Baltimore and
Ohio spur from Linden, Nd, past Chevy
Chase Lake to the Aqueduct Bridge is
now assured
This confidence is based on the report
yesterday that the Washington and Mary
| land Railroad Company through its at
torney, George E. Hamilton. has asked
the District Supreme Court to appoint a
commission to condemn about six acres
of land in part of the Fox tract and low
lands along the Potomac river. These
lands are located about 800 yards below
the Chain Bridge and will afford the rail-
road company a right of way along the
river front.
The Washington and Western Maryland
railroad is a subsidiary company through
which the Baltimore and Ohio obtained
frc,n Congress the right of way through
the District to Georgetown. 1t has no
connection with the Western Maryland
line. which is part of the WABASH on
Gould system, and which has been en-
deavoring to gain an entrance to TINS CITY
to compete with the Baltimore and ONO
and Pennsylvania lines.
Right Of Way Secured.
The Washington and Western Maryland
company number of years ago secured
property along the river front above the
Aaueduct bridge for a considerable dis
lance and also the right of way along X
street. in Georgetown.
A long wooden trestle was erected par
allel with the C. & O. canal, above the
Aqueduct bridge. The road. however, was
never completed and in the course of time
the trestle work fell in decay and was
torn down during the past year.
1t has now developed that, the COM
pany proposed to run a line connecting
with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad spur
already built from Linden to Chevy Chase
Lake. 1t will cross the country in south
westerly direction to a point near the
Chain bridge. 1t is stated that the road
is to cross the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
about 500 yards below the bridge and
thence follow the canal to K street with
a termination at Both and X streets
northwest.
New Freight Station.
Another report is to the effect that the
railroad company has purchased two
squares of ground between Goth and JEFF
ferson streets on K street, where it is
proposedto erect a large freight depot
It Is the supposition of persons who pro-
fess to know that the railroad company
proposes to continue its road at a future
date from this freight terminal across
the X street bridge over Rock creek and
thence along the river front to South
WASHINGTON which will enable freight to
be taken to steamers which cannot get up
to Georgetown.

Old Rugby Game To Be Played at Don Luis Sunday.
 Afternoon.

The people of Bisbee will be given an opportunity Sunday to see game that is seldom seen in this part of the United States-that of Rugby football as it is played by the English. It is well known that the American game was derived from the English one, the latter dating back several hundred years.
 The game will be played at Don Luis park and by men wno learned the game in the old country. The opposing teams are the Copper Queen and the l.. s. & P. Two years ago they played game which was won by the Copper Queen team by 2 score of three to nothing. A special train will leave for the grounds at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, and the game is scheduled to begin at 2:30.
 Following is the line up of the c. O team, with the positions: Full back John Haw1ey; three-quarter backs, Joe Gaiskell, Jack Radcliffe, William Rumney, Jim Maddeop; hAlf-backs.

ASSOCIATION
 INCORPORATORs
 HOLD ELECTION
Old Officers Reelected By Co., chise Building and Loan Part of Stock Will Be Open To Public.

Yesterday afternoon the first an nual meeting of the stockholders of the Cochise Building and Loan Asso- citation was held in the offices of E. E. Ellinwood. Officers and directors were elected to act during the en- suing year, and several matters or great importance to the organization were taken up and disposed of.
 The association was organized about five months ago, the following being elected officers; George E. Buxton. president: J. E. Curry, vice president, and M J. Cunningham secfetary and treasurer, At yester- day afternoons meeting the same officers were reelected, Jesse Yoakum also being chosen as assistant secre- tary. The board of directors is made up of the officers and Jacob Schmid. Charles Holtz, A. T. Sowles, c. E. Moon, l.. c. Shattuck and c. L. Caven. O. Gibson, of Tombstone, was selected as solicitor.
 The capital stock is $1,000,000. Originally it was planned to confine loans to miners with families. it being the intention to encourage the build ing ot homes by the miners in the district. At yesterdays meeting, however, it was decided to set aside S100,000 worth of the stock which will be open for subscription by peo- pie other than miners as an invest ment. The s50,000. however, which has been advanced by the mining companies, will be confined strictly to use by men employed in the loz
 It is the intention to make the terms for the borrowing of money as reasonable as possible. It is under stood that a miner will be required to own a lot, and the company will furnish money to construct a house thereon, costing not more than three times as much as the ground. A mortgage on the property will be taken as security. The rate of in terest, it is understood, will be eight per cent.

DOUGLAS BASEBALL
 GETS 4 BLACK EYE
The Team There Has Been DiSbanded and the Players
 Have Left Town.

Baseball started of altogether too early for Douglas, has died a-bornIng and now there is not a single one of the professionals or semi-profess.on- als that last Sunday played against Cananea in the city so far as anyone knew yesterday. While it was stated yesterday that Yohe might re turn in few days, it is now be lieved that he is on his way to Waco, Texas. At any rate, he is not expect ed to return to Douglas. The other players have left the city, most of them going to Fl Paso.
 Before departing Yohe parted with all but small part of the money that was taken in Sunday All the members of the team got s10 each out of the proceeds, all of Yohe's debts, it is understood, were paid, and with the small balance left the captain hit the road for Waco.
 This has probably "queered" the national game in Douglas, for some time to come anyway. The fans had not enthused over the game and the support was naturally not sufficient to keep an all salaried team here. If conditions generally get better soon it is probable the game will be as well supported as 1t was for a time last year. Things are not very en- -couraging for the amateur game, eith- CT, for once a city tastes of the pro fessional game it is a difficult mat ter for that city to be content with anything not up to the standard it 1t has known.

CHANGES AT TIE
 THEATER ROYAL

Commencing this afternoon the Theatre Royal will return to their old custom of giving a daily matinee. The old prices will again go into ef- feet, viz. Matinees, adults, 15c., chill dren, 10c to any part of the house, Evenings: general admission, chill dren 10c., adults, 15c. Reserved seats 25c Manager Tupper states that the cost of moving pictures have been reduced to the old price and this en- ables aim to give his patrons the ad- vantage of the old rates. Through the film manufacturers association. recently formed in New York, the Royal is now in a position to secmI the best pictures on the market. The pictures presented by this popular amusement house the past week have been without question the best ever shown in this city, and as a result business showed big improvement. The regular semi-weekIy change went into effect last evening and two large sized crowds were present at botA shows.
 Monte Cristo, a five act drama is a strong picture and opens the bill. Fighting Bob Evans fleet starting on its 14,000 miles voyage comes next and justly received hearty applause. This picture alone is worth the price of admission. The Talisman, beau tiful hand colored fairy tale. is the last picture shown and sent the crowd away in a happy mood.
