AN AUTOMOBILE HEARSE.
Not Yet in Common Use, But Said to Be Coming-One Elaborate
 Specimen.

The automobile hearse has not yet come into general use, but at least one such hearse has actually been built and it has been used on two occasions.
 This hearse in it's general outlines and appearance is of the conven tional type. It is a hearse body mounted on an automobile chassis. From the front edge of the body's roof there is carried forward over the drivers seat a sheltering roof as with a limousine. On one of the footbOards is carried a tool chest and at the rear the usual automobile lamp. and the vehicle carries an automobile horn. The only lamps carried forward are two conventional coach lamps by the drivers seat
 In the details of it's construction and finish this automobile hearse is elaborate. Its sides are each divided into three panels, the central panel of glass and the two end panels on either side of carved wood. The lamps and all the metallic trimmings and ornaments of the hearse are sil- yer plated. So this is costly hearse made to sell at about s5000. Automobile hearses of simpler design could of course be made at lower cost, perhaps for S3000 or less The present cost of the automobile hearse is given as one reason why it has not sooner come into general use.
 Undertakers are among the most conservative of men; they are slow to make changes. They have hither to chung to the old horse drawn hearse, but there are undertakers who think the automobile hearse is coming.
 An undertaken of extended eXpe- rience has expressed the opinion that automobile hearses will finally be brought into use without exciting comment by the increasing use of automobile carriages in the funeral procession: people will become so accustomed to see automobiles at funerals that the automobile hearse will seem nOwise out of place.
 Another undertaken of long eXpe rience looks to see the automobile hearse first brought into use by con servative people of ample means who in some circumstances may. find its use advantageous and desirable. At some funerals now the casket is moved four times between the house and the grave; once when originally placed in the hearse at the house, again in transshipping it to a fun eral car in a city railroad station, again in removing from this car at the cemetery station and again in removing it from the hearse in the cemetery at the grave. With an au- tomobile hearse the casket could be carried from the house direct to the cemetery, followed by the limited number of closed automobiles that would be required to convey those

IMPROVING DIAMOND
 FOR SUNDAYS GAME
Jewels and Gas Nine to Cross Bats 1T
 Warmest Game of Season.

With the announcement that Bill Al worlds Jewels will cross bats with the nine of the Pacific Gas & Electric company on Sunday afternoon at East lake, baseball matters in Phoenix are certain to take on new impetus. The gas company team last season was rated one of the strongest independent teams in the territory and managed to defeat practically every nine with which it played. With some added ma terial, it is believed that the team is today in better shape than ever before and likely to give the Jewels the time of their lives in a game
 Preparations for the game are now going on and Bill Alvord promises that the diamond at Eastlake will be found on Sunday to be in better con dition than has ever been the case. He is placing oil at every base and on the diamond wherever needed with the end in view of making the surface smooth and clean and free from dust. This will insure an opportunity for playing speedy ball.
 It is believed that interest in base ball is growing sufficiently to warrant the bringing here of outside hines. For a time the attendance at the games with visiting teams was unsatisfactory and in several instances money was lost. It is announced that arrange ments have been made for the appear ance here of the Casa Grande nine, which is one of the strongest teams the Jewels ever met. This aggregation will be here on Sunday. October 23. It is expected that the team from Ray may be signed for a game here on Oc- tober 27. Manager Alvord is in re- ceipt of letter from Manager Denney Ford of the Ray team asking for that date.
 Following is the lineup for the Jewels on next Sunday: Grijalva, first base; Byers, second base; Every, shOrtstop; DuhnsOn, third base; Qui roz. left field; Lyall center field; Ru dOlph. right field; Parks, Dyer, pitcher; Brisbois, Sullivan, catcher.
 For the gas team the following is the lineup: VinsOn, Towers, Hodges, Han shue, Harter, Morris, Manuel, Hanson, Heinz.

E THE BASEBALL RECORD

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-It is estimated by members of the national commission in charge Of the distribution of seats for the first two games of the worlds s series next week, that $70000 has been returned to applicants for tickets whose orders cannot be filled. The de- mand for tickets has broken all records and the amount returned is the largest ever turned back. Many today tried in every way they knew to buy re served seats at advanced prices. The national commission has taken extra ordinary precautions to keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers. Center fielder Oldring of Philadelphia may not be able to play in the worlds series and laments that his knee was twisted in yesterdays game.

The Governor visits shepherdstown.


Governor VIM. E. Glasscock of West
| Virginia, accompanied by his brother,
Mr.. S. Fuller Glasscock, of Morgantown,
spentlast Friday in Shepherdstown. The
Governor came TO attend a meeting of the
Rumseyan Society and to fulfill the duty
OF designating a site for the proposed
monument to James Rumsey, inventor OF
the steamboat, which is to be erected here
with an appropriation made by the Leg
islature. The Governor was shown the
rocky bluff on the Potomac river, which
had heretofore been selected by the So
ciety as the site for the monument, but
which is opposed by some of the menu
bers Of the Society and considerable
public sentiment, and also noted the sites
about the normal school property in the
center OF the town, where so many per-
sons prefer to have the memorial located.
The Governor did not render decision.
He stated that he would not approve Of
the river site under present conditions,
as there is no approach to the property
owned by the Society and the land so
far acquired is insufficient for the purpose.
He seemed to prefer site on the prop
erty already owned BY the State adjacent
TO the Shepherd College, but was uncer-
tain, under a strict construction of the
law appropriating the money for the stat
ue, that it could be placed here. He said
that he would refer the matter to the At
torney-General for an opinion, and the
inference was drawn that should the At
torney-General favorably conStrue the
law, he might settle the matter soon by
selecting the site in town. AT the meet
ing of the Society the members took part
in spirited discussion as to the best site
for the monument, to which the Cover
ernor paid close attention and in which
he participated by asking number Of
questions so as to thoroughly inform HIM
SELF He was vigorous in expressing his
own ideas, and grasped the situation so
completely that everybody felt satisfied
TO leave the matter in his hands for wise
solution of the contention. He was en-
tirely impartial in his attitude, and it was
apparent that he intended to be guided
by the law and his own opinion as to the
most eligible site, without prejudice or
bias. He made two visits to the river
site, accompanied by members of the So
ciety.
The Governor and his brother were
entertained while here by Mr.. H. L.
Snyder and in the evening Mr.. Henry
w. Potts entertained all the members OF
the Society and few other friends who
had been invited to meet the Governor.
This was the second visit Of Governor
GlaSScock to Shepherdstown during his
term, and he seemed to enjoy his stay
here. Those of our people who met him
were greatly pleased with him, as his al
liability and courtesy are qualities that
render him most agreeable personally.
At the beginning of the afternoon Ses-
sion OF Shepherd College the Cadet Corps
waited upon him at the home of Mr.. Sny-
der and escorted him to the school,
where he made delightful little address
to the assembled students. Later in the
evening he took the train for Washington,
accompanied by several persons from
town.

shakesperean Performance.

The people of Shepherdstown and thi:
section have in prospect one of the mos
delightful intellectual treats that Our COM
munity has ever enjoyed. Il is per-
Torrance to be rendered here on the 9th
of May by Mr.. and Mrs. R. D. Shepherd
and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles B. Hanford,
who will give the world-famous play Of
Othello by the immortal Shakespeare.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepherd recently very
generously agreed TO give an entertain
ment for the benefit of local objects, and
with growing interest in the project in
vited their friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Hanford,
TO be their guests at Wild Goose Farm
and assist in the proposed performance.
They readily accepted the invitation, and
will be here on the date named. These
four famous artists have decided TO rem
der Othello, and, while the play will OF
necessity be abridged to some extent,
practically the whole wonderful tragedy
will be enacted. Those of our people
who heard the tabloid version OF the
Flaming of the Shrew" by Mr.. and Mrs.
Shepherd last year will appreciate in ad-
vance the treat now in prospect, for they
will have with them Mr.. and Mrs. Han
lord in Othello and make doubly inter-
esting and enjoyable performance. The
cast as arranged provides that Mr.. Han
ford will take the part of "lago," Mr..
Shepherd that OF "Othello," Mrs. Han
ford "Amelia" and Mrs. Shepherd "Des-
demona."
The mere announcement OF this pertor-
nance should be sufficient to insure
crowded house. Mr.. Hantord is regard
ed as one of the best living ShakeSperean
opponents, and has been playing TO great
audiences in the North and West. Mrs,
Hanford is also famouSly clever, and is
known as a delightful interpreter OF the
characters in ShakeSpeare's plays. As
R. D. Mclean and Odette Tyler, Mr.. and
Mrs. Shepherd have achieved fame
throughout the country, and our people
are acquainted to some extent at least
with their splendid talent. Such an az
gregation OF hiStrionic excellence is sell
dom seen in a small town, and Our peo-
pie ought to appreciate the pleasure in
store for them.
Besides the tragedy OF Othello, Mr..
Shepherd and Mr.. Hanford will give the
quarrel scene from Julius Caesar, and a
series of living pictures will also be pre-
scented, including scenes from Ben Hur.
We hope that everybody will keep in
mind the date for this entertainment, Fri
day, May 9th, and that these generous
friends will have such house as will in
Spire them to their utmost.
