the game, 81 to 49, In the second
game Rice went even farther to the

This contest brings the tournament
up to the final, which will be played

to be looked for. ingalls, is accounted
the best player in his class in the ISL

most dangerous competitor. No doubt

High School are to be Congratulated
upon the signal success of the closing
tournament. Although starting out IN
an unpromising way, it developed into

OFFICIALS PLAY
At WASHINGTON

No one can longer gainsay that base
ball is the National game. Even the
United States government-or that part
of it represented by the under officials
and employees of the departments at
/ Washington-are just now engaged in
a terrific swatting of balls and mad
running of bases. Those persons III

Family Evictors Organize an Odd Club

They got only as far as deciding that hereafter the price for evicting a family from a cellar or a first floor fiat shall be 50 cents for each room, and for every job above the street floor one dollar for each room.
 Fred Kelly, who has been evicting for twenty years or more, was elected president, and Jim Brown was made secretary. Next the sign "Dispossess Club was hung above the cellar door, and the members swarmed gleefully back down the steps into the hole to await the first job at the new scale of prices.
 Penocle decks were produced and then the new organization was fairly under way. The room will get chairs and tables wherever the members run across bargains in sidewalk collec- tions of furniture. Meantime a pile of fresh straw on the cellar floor makes furnishing that is luxurious enough for the latest addition to New York's long list of clubs.

c ONE curious facts about the rocky O ledge. on the shelving slope ot which lower New York, with its mil lions of tons of skyscrapers, teeters, have been revealed by the engineers who have been boring hundreds of feet below the surface in connection with the plunger elevators in the big office buildings The center shafts in these elevators go as deep into the ground as the shaft itself is high. The plunger shaft in a building 400 feet high, for instance, must have hole dug for it 400 feet deep, into which it can sink every time the elevator goes down into the basement
 At Rector and Church streets, under the United States Express Company building, the rock ledge is 40 feet be- low the surface. Just few hundred feet to the northward this rocky ledge is 60 feet down under the ground

NEW YORK.-The $1,000,000 cleo lV trical display on the Hudson river in connection with the Hudson Fulton fete brought forth some interesting comments from Thomas A. Edison, who stands at the head of the list among American electrical wizards. ,
 Tt was wonderful! It was wonder full" he exclaimed. Tt far surpassed my expectations.
 MT. Edison was reminded by his caller that but for his discoveries and development in electricity the display would have been impossible.
 You have put the case too strong ly," he responded, and this is no ex- pression of modesty on my part, either. If I hadn't done what I have done, somebody else would have done it.
 'I judged that the first nights dis play on the Hudson took about 100000 horse power of electricity. When you reflect that we now are able to utilize only about three per cent of the eff ciency of electricity after We have it harnessed, and that 97 per cent ut terly goes to waste, you will get some idea of how far a little of the mysteri-

TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH
Mistake Most People Make Is in Wait, ing for Bad to Come and
 Then Coddine 1t.

If we would take as good care of our good health as we do of our bad health we would have more of the former and less of the latter. We set our good health down in draft and let it get it's feet wet; we infringe on it's sleep time and gorge it with un- suitable food at irregular hours. We load it with nerve-racking cares and duties, and reply to it's frantic ap- peals for rest with, You haven't time" We squeeze it with clothing; we distract it's ears with noise and it's lungs with bad air bu- We put our bad health in quiet room, on a soft couch. We robe it in comfortable gown; we give it pure air at stated intervals; we put ice on it's head and hot water at it's feet; we feed it with food convenient for it. We take away all care and responsibility; we give it a soothing draught to rest 1t; and we pay a doctor two dollars to come and leave it a scrap of paper and say that it will better tomorrow. One might think we preferred bad health to good health. From an ar ticle in Good Health.

 Two important chapters are to be added to the many that have piled up in the last three years. One of the chapters is to be made up of the reop- ening of the suit for divorce by Mrs. Burke Roche -Batonyi against her hus- band, and the other is to mark the de but of MT Batonyi in the realm of lit erature.
 Although little is known about MT Batonyi's novel aside from it's name, it's dedication and it's motto, telling in a vague way what the aim of the au- thor was in writing the book, it will be highly interesting, inasmuch as it's characters and incidents, it is assert ed. are drawn from real life and will

The bureau of statistics at Wa
 ington reports an enormous increase in building operations throughout the country. This is another sure ,ndica- ton of the revival of business activity in every direction. When financial stress is felt the work of building is one of the first to feel the effects. The Washington statement shows that the value of building permits issued in 100 of the largest cities in the United States for the year ended July 1, 1909, was $20,000.00 in excess of that for the same period in 1906, when building was at high tide. There have been no ticeable gains in other directions, but in building the movement appears to De veritable boom, owing to the de- hand for increased accommodations.

City Teeters on Ledge of Hitting Rock

Under the old Times building, at Park row and Spruce street, the ledge is 100 feet below the surface. It lies at the greatest depth yet found-150 feet under the southeast corner of the Tribune building, at Nassau and Spruce streets. Under the Waldorf Astoria hotel the ledge comes to the surface
 The rocky ledge is hardest over on the east side of the city, and gets more chalky and crumbly toward the Hudson river The rock also grows softer, in all the borings. as the depth increases. In one or two cases the boreS have reached cavities in the ledge at depth of 200 feet, which were from 12 to Is feet deep They are supposed to be old rain holes, be- fore the glacial epoch.
 The deepest holes made have been under the Carroll building, on West street Under the Trinity and Boreel buildings 29 borings were made, aver aging about 300 feet. From one of these the largest solid core of rock ever excavated was recently taken from a depth of nearly three hundred feet The core was P feet long and 16 inches in diameter, and weighed 2,750 pounds.

Dr. Stiles, chief government zoolo- gist, has just given advice in a de partment bulletin for the treatment and eradication of the book worm or lazy" disease so prevalent among the poor whites of the southern states. The disease produces an anaemic con dition and an utter disinclination for labor. Judging from the latter symp- tom, it would seem that the lazy worm" does not restrict it's activities to sections south of Mason and Dix on's line. It is hardly lese majesty to rise up and assert that it has incu- bated in the municipal blood, in view of the exasperating delays in various movements planned for Philadelphia.

 The title of the novel will be St Urgis.'
 It is to be dedicated Ito MT. and Mrs. H. E. Witt"
 Some idea as to the intention of the author may be grasped by the trans. parency of the disguise in the name and dedication of the book.
 "St. Urgis," with the elimination of period and capital "U." spells "Stur. gis,'' and the same process of elimina. tion and change from upper to lower case letters in the names of MT. and Mrs H. E. Witt reveals MT. and Mrs. Hewitt"
 The christening and dedicating of the book has been done, apparently with sarcastic intent by the autbor as the circumstances recall that one of the numerous suits composing the complicated mixture of legal affairs involving Mir. and Mrs. Batonyi was one by him against Frank K Sturgia and MT. and Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt the latter being Mrs. Batonyi's sister for alternating the affections of his wife. In his suit Frank Work was also named, and the aggrieved bus band claimed $1,500,000 damages.

WY ITH all proper respect for the w necessary and noble are of evict- ing the poor, it must be said that the members of the new Dispossess club in their black hole of a cellar at 262 Madison street, New York City, sug- gested a lot of rats awaiting the mer- ry marshal's signal to spring on the next family.
 But that unpleasant impression was due to the fact that the 50 professional evictors had just organized to raise the scale of prices for throwing a family's furniture out on the sidewalk and had not had time to fix up their new quarters.

The frequent assertion that the soils of the United States are W .aring out is not conceded by Prof. Milton Whit ney, chief of the bureau of soils, Unit ed States department of agriculture He has prepared a bulletin in which statistics of yield since 1867 are care fully compared. and in which he ar rives at the following conclusion: We are producing more crops per acre than formerly. This is undoubtedly due to better and more intelligent cul- tivation, more and better systems of rotation of crops and in later years to the intelligent use of fertilizers through measures of control in the hands of every individual farmer" Much that has been said on the sub Ject of exhaustion of the soil was alarming and even disheartening. That Prof. Whitney sees no reason for a pessimistic view is reasurring.

WHEN SHOULD GIRLS MARRY?

A grandmother has undertaken to answer the question in the headline in a magazine article. Having had ex- perience. she thinks she knows what she is talking about It is her opinion that no girl should marry before she Is 25 years old. There never has been and never can be any fixed rule for the mating of human beings. Ages ago parents were the sole arbiters of the marital destinies of their daugh' ters. They gave in wedlock when and where and to whom they pleased, and the daughters had nothing to do with tho bargain. The matter is one in which there is pretty nearly indepen- dence of thought and action on the part of American girls. Parents may try as they will to shape their daugh- ters love affairs to conform to their own ideas, but it is a rare case in which they succeed-and even then success on the part of the parents is not guarantee of the girls happiness. It has been estimated that a womans chances of marriage begin to diminish at the twenty-fourth year and decline rapidly to the thirtieth year, when they have almost disappeared. The period of greatest expectation is from 19 to 23. It is between these periods that the majority of women must make up their minds, and they do it from the dictates of the heart oftener than from any other consideration.
