Extravaganza and self-indulgence are
barriers as mighty as those of poverty
against the nobler qualities of life. Hard,
indeed, is it for rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God or into the kingdom
of the intellectual life Ignorance is not
confined to the haunts of the poor. Often
times it is even more dense in the home
of the rich, aye, in spite Of the luxury; nay,
because of the luxury.

National L.apu. STANDING.

New York Oct. 4.-The National
league championship season in New
York ended today under unfavorable
circumstances. Philadelphia forfeit
ed the second game to the locals. The
first contest was won by the home
team, t. ;, and in the second the
score in the fourth inning was l to l,
when Pitcher Moren objected to ball
that had been called on Wilson. Null
Western league this year, put Moren
out of the game and also elected
Knabe and Doolan. The latter two
Philadelphia players refused to leave
the field whAp ordered to do so by the
umpire, and after vainly waiting for
Manager Murray to provide substitutes
for them, Umpire Mullen awarded the
game to New York, 2 to 0.
The players of the Philadelphia club
had been questioning Mullen's judg-
ment on balls and strikes from the
time play started, and had made it I'M
pleasant fer him. The spectators sid
ed with the umpire, and he was cheer
ed when he left the field, the Phila-
delphia players being Kissed.
Manager Murray of Philadelphia says
that Mullen acted hastily and that
Ward and Gleason, who were to take
the places Of Doolan and Knabe, were
waiting for Foxen to warm up. The
forfeited game, according to the Ma
tional league regulations, puts the
Philadelphia club in danger of a fine
of $1,000.
New York won the first contest in
the ninth inning. Doyle tied the score
with lunl.e and made the wInHing
run when Mccormick singled. Magee's
batting was the feature. The score of

TWO MILE RUN
WAS CLOSEST EVENT
Mike Driscoll Wins at A. A. U. Indoor
Meet-Irish- American A. c. Leads on
Opening Night.

New York, Oct. Anew York's in
door athletic season was ushered in to-
night with the beginning of the annual
indoor track and field championship
meeting of the Amateur Athletic I'M
ion. There were twelve events on the
evenings programme and the perform
ances of the winners in several events
approached close to the record.
The closest contest of the night was
in the two mile run which was won
by Mike Driscoll of Yonkers in 9.39, a
fraction of a second faster than George
Bonhags former performance in 9.3s
LIS. Driscoll had as competitors all
the way Sullivan, the Irish-American
star. II. A. Wilson, formerly Of Eng
land. and G.. A. Dull of Michigan, who
wore the colors of the Pittsburg Ath-
letic association.
Harry Gissing of the New York Ath-
letic club took the thousand yard run
in 21S 40 after a gruelling finish with
Bromilow of the Irish-Americans Gis-
sings time was l 2-3 seconds faster
than that which won him the same
race last year. Lunghi, the Italian
runner, of whom great things were
expected, finished sixth in this event
This was explained, however, by the
fact that it was his first attempt al
running on a board track. Melvin w
Sheppard did not run, reserving his
strength for the six hundred yard race
tomorrow.
At the end of tonight's twelve
events the Irish American A. c. lee
with Al points and the New York A. G
was second with 80. The programme
will be repeated tonight.

UNEVEN STRENGTH.
Stock Market Activity Dwindled Un-
der Firmness of Call Money Rate.

New York, Oct. 4.-The stock market
developed uneven strength after. a
weak start today, but the activity
dwindled in the course of the day IN
der the influence of the sustained firm
ness of the cal money rat. ,tall
money touched IL per cent, Fri
days high rate, early in the after
noon. A gradual recession from the
rate due to the periodical money re-
locked for ordinarily. The weekly
bank statement, published after the
close of business on Saturday, offers
the occasion for the conservative atti-
tuds of lenders The surplus reserves
of the banks is down to the vanishing
point ana the forces Of depletion Of
cash are still at work. The sub
treasury starts the week with requi-
tition upon the banks for s1,763, 900

ing house this morning. The principal
stock market influence which contend
ed with the restraint of the money
position was the determined advance
in United States Steel After opening
down a point under the influence OF
selling from London that stock start
ed upwards again and narrowed its
distance from par to only a shade
more than five points. New York
Central was another conspicuous point
of strength, feeling the early effect of
the large increase in August earnings

Prospects of Good Hunting Season.
There has been no squirrel hunting
with dogs yet, as the foliage is too
thick. There are miles of good rabbit
ground in this section, and now that
hunting with a ferret Is permitted by
law it is expected that many in the
later fall will enjoy that sport. Some
suppose that the ferret is allowed to
cruelty attack the rabbit in his burrow.
This is not so; the ferret is muzZled
and merely drives the rabbit out, where
he is caught in the hunters hand and
humanely despatched by holding him
up by the hind legs, when sharp blow
on the back of the neck with the sharp
edge of the hand breaks the backbone
instantly.
Eleven years ago P. b. Driscoll, F.
G. Whiting and S. c. Burlingame pur-
| chased brood of genuine English ring
necked pheasants. Two hens and a
cock. They were kept until in fine
condition and then taken a couple of
miles north of the borough and liber-
ated. For a year nothing was heard
from them and it was thought that the
females had been winter killed. In 1901
| small flock was seen by a passing
| farmer in the road near the Love lane
crossing below Packerville and one
was shot. They were protected by law
until 1905. Last year two males were
seen on Stone Hill.
