off the Indictment Of the individual

In addition, the department has
learned that extraordinary influences,

These revelations have stirred the

A Beautiful Sunset.

When the sun set at $50 Friday
evening it left behind it in the west
one Of the most beautiful sunsets ever
seen in Norfolk. In fact the color eff
feCts were next to the best in any part
OF the world. Close to the western
horizon the colors were of yellow and
light green, while higher in the sky
was Il wall of heavy pink, yellow,
blue, green and red. The wall of
beautiful colors resembled the rush
ing torrent of a Colored river, wide on
the north side and pointed on the
south. Both sides were bounded by
heavy stormy looking clouds.
This beautiful sunset lasted for about
ten minutes when at short intervals it
changed to various formations as the
sun set further down on the other
side of the world. AS it grew darker
near o'clock it left behind it in the
western horizon a long streak of
pretty pink while the Tky about it
was a bank of red, pink, yellow and
green waving clouds.

WHY CUBS LOST.
n. E. r., Chicago Sport Writer Tells
of Cubs Crushing Defeat.

Commenting upon the downfall of
the Cubs, II. Il. X, in the Chicago Tri-
hune says:
The Cubs were oVerpOwered crush.
ed and Inundated. The young and
gamCsOmc Athletics, schoolcd and
trained in every department of the
game including courage, by one whom
we all must now acknowledge as mas
ter craftsman, Il supcrlativo organizer
and tactician, demonstrated in the
presence of a crowd vast and critical
that this wonderful machine we have
all been boasting about as the ne plus
ultra of baseball combination, was
nothing more than a magnificent she'll
glittering reminder that must have
owed its prOwCss and prestige, during
the last season at least, to the effect
on the minds of its opponents OF the
dazzling glamour of past performance.
Captain Chances plan of dashing at
tack and bewildcring defense, which
has held the baseball world "buffalocd"
for 10 these many years, was shot to
pieces by these young vandals from
Philadelphia, an essential part of
whose baseball education has been to
not be afraid.
The Cubs were OutClassed, team for
team, and almost man for man, at
every point and turn that goes to CON
stitutc ball game. 1t was a showing
up the effect of which will last all
through the life the present Cub for
nation. The Cubs viii be confronted
at the beginning of next season by
the question which invariably brings
negative reply Can they come
back"
There is compelling reminder in
the third game and the two that pre-
coded it, of Sullivan against Corbctt,
Dempsey against Fitzsimmons, Shaef-
cr against Ives and Johnson against
Jefrries record against a reality, age
and hooking confidence against youth
and ambition. A man who is glutted
with the glory of achievement never
feels himself slipping until he has
slipped, and a ball club is the embodi-
lnent of many men with a single inn
pulse. The Athletics entered the lists
unawed by what the Cubs did to the
Tigers in 1907. They allowed no
thought that they were up against a
superior organization to enter their
minds.

had been sent to their home by
Mayor Garrison to minister to
their little 8-year-old daughter.
A boy of Littlebrook's 10 years
old, died at about2 o'clock in the

whom the parents of the child
rem refused to allow to minister
to their sick child.
The boy is said to have died
without so much as having hao

COAL SUPPLY Low
IN ILLINOIS Mines

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Chicago's
supply of bituminous coal never
was at such a low point as it is
today. A sudden drop in the
temperature would bring on an
actual shortage.
Frank S. Peabody, one of the
largest coal dealers in the city,
made the statement before the
coal committee of the board Of
education yesterday that there
was not more than fiveday
supply of bituminous coal in
Chicago. Though the Illinois
mines We're opened more than
two weeks ago, after a shut
down of % weeks on account of
a strike, the first of their output
is just beginning to reach the
city and some of the mines are
not yet in operation.
The Illinois mines supply a
large proportion of the coal con-
sumed in the Northwest. This
trade usually is supplied during
July and August, but on account
of the strike last summer not a
ton of coal was shipped to the
Northwest market.

BARBER SHOP
IS DYNAM|TED

Tuesday morning about 2 o.
clock, some party or parties
threw a stick of dynamite
through the front window Of
Tom Clemons' fcolored) barber
shop, and the explosion which
followed aroused the people of
the town, and did considerable
damage to the furniture as well
as the building in which the shop
was located.
The first warning of the affair
was given by the breaking of
the front glass, which was done
with a piece of brick. Harry
Blythe. night watchman. and Mr.
Cochran. night clerk at the de-

investigate, but had only got a
short ways from the depot when

that it was the parties who sent
these letters who did the work.
