Loses to WaNa by Score of q to ;.
The Clehurnc High school team,
and supporters, came home from
Waxahachie in rather low spirits
last evening They had gone to the
capital of Ellis county expecting to
bring back a scalp, but they ran up
against an ugly snag. Supporters OF
the home team say the Waxahachie
knowing ones cheated them out Of
the game. They made rightful
score of is and got credit for 3,
thus losing 13 and the game.
Another thing, the local support
ers say, was the none too good treat
ment received at the hands of the
WaXahachians. The Cleburneites had
to pay for their own dinner, whereas
when the WaXahachians were here
they were furnished edibles of the
best quality at no cost whatever. The
Cleburne team had the use of two
small rooms to dress in, and did not
have any place to battle. Perhaps
WaXahachie has the other side of
the story, but as this paper only has
this side it will await further news
from WaXahachie.

San Francisco's Lesson.

From Golfers Weekly.
 San Francisco is profitng by the les sons of her disaster. She is subterran- eously barricading herself. Sixty-three cisterns in as many different parts of the city were provided in the pioneer days as a fire protection, probably before there was any regular system of water works Forty of these were in passive commis- sion, the remaining B were forgotten or had become disused in the unheeding. now been restored. In addition. 100 more csterns, built of reinforced concrete. have been erected, with a capacity of 75OO0 gallons each. There will be three fresh-water reservoirs-one on Twin Peaks, 730 feet high, with capacity of 100000 gallons; one on Asbury Heights, 61o feet high, with capacity of 100000 gallons; and one on Clay Street Hill, 309 feet high, with a capacity of another mill lion gallons All three of these systems are interconnected with double lines of mains. They will be kept filled with fresh water at all times from pumping stations in the artesian belt Ninety three miles of the best water piping that can be secured, running from ten inches to 40 inches in diameter. will connect with these reservoirs. These pipes will grid iron practically all of the city east of Devisadero street and north of Twenty ninth street, covering four-flfths of the value of the city Connected with this system of piping will also be two salt water pumping stations. The failure of water pressure at the time of the great fire was due to break or breaks in the main pipes The present piping system is so arranged with valves and by-passes that, should break occur in any one block or combination of blocks, the break can be cut out and the remainder of the system continued in perfect work ing order Already under construction are two of the most powerful of fire boats The water from them will reach all territory within thousand feet of the water front. There will be an un- derground telephone system for the ex- elusive use of the high-pressure water system, connecting all firs-alarm offices, all fire stations, and all gate-houses. The present water system for the extingush- ment of fires Is owned by the Spring Valley Water company, private corpo- ration. It is not capable of furnishing the quantity and pressure required for fire purposes in so large and growing city as San Francisco. The pew high

GERMAN ACTORS BADLY PAID.
Only 10 Per Cent Earn More Than $60o
 Year.


 From the Allgemeine Zeitung, Munich.
 If. after reading official reports and calmly considering the figures which tell of average salaries. the stage struck boys and girls of Germany still persist in chasing the rainbow. 1t can be said that they are at least courageous and that they have been duly warned. That the allurins brilliancy of the stage covers a lot of misery is shown in the statistics furnished by the Stage association. A few theatrical artists in Germany receive salaries of $6000 to $10,00O, but at the same time 50 per cent of the theatrical people, including chorus singers and supernu- meraries, receive less than $200 a year. About 20 per cent earn $3O0 to $500, 20 per cent $500 to $600 and the remaining 10 per cent rise above s6OO a year. Thus it appears that only 10 per cent of the stage folk in Germany gain enough to enjoy anything better than a meager living.
 The best salaries. of course, are paid at the court theatres and at the munich pal theatres of the big cities. All in all the figures present only miserable per- spective for the aspirants. Theatres in the provincial cities and the smaller court theatres pay an average yearly sal ary of $24O. Stars in these theatres are paid from s200 to $4SO. Out of these meager sums the artists are frequently obliged to expend from $40 to s160 for their wardrobes.
 few instances are cited showing what kind of lives some of the actresses lead. In Hanau an actress singer was engaged at ss a month. The engagement was made on condition that she also play IA plays in Putbus and a month in the Kurhaus theatre at Homburg with no pay at all Furthermore. she was obliged to pay her own traveling expenses in going to these places from Hanau.

IS ENGLAND DEcADENT?
American Who Has Travelled Abroad
 Says 1t Is.

From the Washington Herald.
 England Is a decadent nauon," said Henry s. Barham of Hongkong, at the New Willard yesterday. MT. Barham is an American who is interested in the export trade in the orient, and is here on business.
 "The English people have been accus- toned for so many years to think that their position on the seas Is unassaila- ble that they have become conceited and are not paying any attention to what other nations are doing in the matter of shipbuilding.
 England Is finally awake to the fact that her much vaunted boast that Britain mia rules the wave will soon be changed into the fact that her much hated rival Germany, has snatched that distinction from her. The English people are hav- ing a. nightmare at present; they are hysterical, scared to death that Elm peror William would swoop down on them with airships and annex their little island.
 Nor Is that all. England is losing out everywhere. Take her oriental passenger steamship trade and freight trade. Where the eastern seas, up to about five or ten years ago, teemed with the British merchant marine flag, that emblem is hardly to be found anywhere in the ports of the Orient. England has been sup planted by Germany. Japan and America. England will never regain what she has lost; she Is on the downward path, and it is all due to her conceft and sluggish ness.
 sThe Japanese are making tremendous headway in the east. Not only in their own country are they making advances, but they are trying for the commercial and political supremacy in China and all other eastern states. They are imbued with an unquenchable thirst for know- edge They suffer, however, from one great drawback, and that is their utter lack of commercial integrity and hon. esty. They are crooked from start to finish, so far>as business is concerned. and don't think any more of breaking commercial engagements or agreements than of taking a cup of tea"

NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY MYRTLE MILES.

The cotillon given by the Kappa Alpha fraternity Wednesday evening was much talked of in society yesterday. Every
 thing was done for the pleasure of the guests of the fraternity both in the prepa- rations made preceding the dance and in the hospitality extended that evening. The Country club was elaborately decorated. the Kappa Alpha emblem showing amid clusters of Richmond roses. These were used In profusion in the Dutch dining room. White roses with banks of huge palms adorned the living room, and in the ballroom made an effective screen for the musicians who played for the CO., tillon. The favors in the german were exceptionally pretty and embraced an unusual variety of trophies. Among the pretty ones were the hat pins engraved with the K. A. monogram, and bar pins also bearing the insignia of the fraternity. These, with fans, Japanese parsols and other souvenirs were gracefully distrib- uted by Mrs Sidney J. Bowie, Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt and Mrs. Barnes Morgan.
 Most of the girls in the younger set were in attendance. Notable among those seen in the ballroom was Miss Edith BoWron who looked most distinguished in a pink null dancing frock trimmed elab- orately in laees. Miss Jennie Trimble was one of the beautiful girls in attendance, wearing a ball gown of white messaline. Miss Mary George Cruikshank was daInt- fly attractive in blue silk. Miss Fannie May Mason wore pink chiffon, costume extremely becoming to her patrician type of beauty. Miss Gladys Ensen was pretty in pink silk. Miss Florence Mo- Crossin was in blue. Miss Mary Lou Cobb was girlishly attractive in white lingerie. Miss Marie Smiths ball gown was white messaline. garnitured with yell low lace. Miss Margaret Latady, one of the most popular of the girls in the col lege set, was lovely in white MT. and Mrs. Latady were present, as were MT. and Mrs. Haley MT and Mrs. Grider and MT. and Mrs. Alex Birch.
