The Departmental League has planned
an innovation for the White House
EllipSe fans this season in the nature
OF a double-header two days each week.
While this has been done mere before
particularly at the end of the season
when the postponed games are being
disposed Of, never before has a sehed-
ule been adopted in amateur circles
which calls for two double bills each
week.
In this item both the fans and the
players are benefited. Heretofore two
contests In one afternoon have made q
big hit with those ~ho follow the ANA
teurs. and there is but little doubt thai
thst popularity will be even more pro
nounced now that the double shows are
scheduled. and are not merely the re-
suit of postponed games. Because =;

novation as they argue it will give

NEW YORK, April L." Halt!' and the dust-brown ranks stood fast only they weren t dust brown ;it all just blue. Anyhow, they stood fast, for it was the voice of Miss Day that gave the command-M ss Day; head of the Day Seminary for olng women, No. Si West Fortv-sixth street.
 The serried blue ranks marked time while Miss Day with a wave of her arm drove her own troops in snow-whitc rigbties and soft, wooly slippers into the shelter of front room. Then, when all was safe, Policemen Gierny and Heaney, who composed the blue ranks. marched upstairs in search of the burglar, who in the meantime had escaped.
 The girls had retired to pleasant dreams when window at the back of the school grated, groaned and slid up. The pleasant dreams of the young woman in that particular room were roughly disturbed, and she screamed 6 long, low, terrified scream. The other young women heard and joined in the chorus.
 General Miss Day, aroused, was equal to the trying occasion. Marching to the phone she called for re-enforcc- ments. Policeman Gierny and Heaney came in a taxicab. As they sprang up the stone steps the door was pushed open and the fearful word burglars trcmbeld on the midnight air.
 "Where! Quick!" snapped Gierny.
 \ frightened maid in snowy white, let them upstairs. At'the first landing tall, spectral figure confronted them with the aforementioned "Halt! etc.
 The ranks saluted, and through the silence pierced the voice of General Miss Day:
 "Young ladies, retire in good order to the front room. Men, do not ap' proaeh until I give the order. v
 Gierny and Heancy waited while the measured beat of littlc feet echoed through the corridors. Then they were bidden to deploy and search. They de ployed and searched. Presently they returned.
 "He's gone, said Gierney. Gone, Y echoed Ileanry.
 General Miss Day $ long arm pointed to the door.
 "Depart, she commanded. But as the blue-clad forms passed the front room gurgle came from behind the half-open door and a dozen toussled heads nodded approval of their manly forms.

NEW YORK, April l.-Priee move ments on the stock market developed a mixed tendency today as to gains and losses, showing irregularity.

NEW WHEAT HIGH MARX.

CHICAGO, April l.--An advance of wheat prices to a new high level was made without any unusual excitement today. The market was strong with the exception of brief period early in the day, when a moderate reaction occurred on liberal sales by leading holder. The demand by this same trader was partly responsible for the advance later in the session which car ried prices beyond the previous best market.
 Sharp advances at nearly all the lead ing grain centers of Europe, brisk de- mand for the cash grain in this country and fresh reports of damage to the growing crop, particularly in Ohio and Indiana, were the chief reasons for bull ish sentiment.
 The range on May was between ll9 and le0 Is, while July sold between l06 B. and l0S. The market closed strong with May ll97.s to l20 and July l07 5-S to l07 S-4.
 The feature of corn was buying for May delivery by cash interests, which caused considerable frmness in the wheat market in general The market closed firm with net gain of shade to l4 and 3,S. May closed at 67 3.s and July 66 IT to 66 3-S

The record for shaft sinking in Globe district mas apparently again been broken, this time by the crew employed in opening a shaft on the property of the Arizona Michigan Copper company, under the direction of Superintendent N.

cause he did not think there would be any anxiety regarding him, and the first he knew of the muss which his disap- pearanee had created was when. hay- ing exhausted his funds, he went to Consul Crowninsheld in Naples, to ask for assistance in getting back to Amer ica.
 Coming over on the Pannonia Mr. Fitch was one of the innocent causes of q prospective duel. He and Rober. . E. Wheelwright of Boston edited a little paper that was printed on board daily during the voyage. One day they inserted a paragraph saying that the vessel made such slow progress that there was suspicion that mules instead of engines furnished the motive power.
 Among the passengers was the Count Hierominus von Lodguski, a young Pole, who knew no English. The count got Leslie E. Harnett, an American, to translate the paragraph to him, and the interpreter unwittingly left the impress sion with the count that the writer had said that the ship was full of mules.
 After lot of trouble the correct explanation was given to him and then his wrath turned to Mir. HarDett, upon whom he proceeded to confer chal- lengc to mortal combat. The shipper, Captain W.sR. Irvine, heard about the quarrel and threatened to lock the bel liggerent foreigner up.

Following a report, the authenticity of which has not as yet been establish ed, that a number of mining claims on the west side of the city have been de- clared non mineral, a number of lots have been staked out ill ne vicinity of Blake street, and the city limits within the past few days and no little excite ment has been the result
 Something like score of lots have been staked out by prospective proper ty owners. Not only do they take in land which has heretofore supposed to have had valid ownership, but in some cases the claims conflict with each otb CT
 The Old Dominion $ also laying claim to the property as mining proper ty. Some days ago the company $ agents set posts on the property and made preparations to fence in parts of if.
 The posts were promptly removed by one of the claimants of the land and further developments may be expect ed at any time.
 For the past several months there have been numerous disputes regarding the ownership of the land in the vicin- ity of that which is now being taken up.
 A tract of laNd in that section is now in process of being taken up as town site. The matter has been before the federal authorities at Washington for some months, but as yet no title has been made out to the applicants.
 Some of tho lots recently staked out are said to be in conflict with the pro- posed townsitc. but the land grabbing continues.
