PEGASUS HOG-TIED
BY BUD, THE POET
Snailspace, the Office Boy,
Breaks Out With Late
Spring Affection.

Pegasus would be hog-tled and
hobbled IN a race with the latest bidder
for public favor in the poetical line.
The Herald has an office boy who
writes-he writes on the typewriter, he
writes on the walls, he writes on
everything when somebody else wants
TO get there and never writes at all
when it is something he ought to write
and sometimes he writes poetry
The office force call him Bud-some-
times it's Snailspace. He's only IA years
Old but he's conner. Anybody can see
that if he viii just scan some Of his
verses.
ing sent on a hurry errand across a
newly plowed field, the corn grew UP
about him and hid him from view.
Bud first broke out with poetic
frenzy when q mere child, long before
he attained his present years of discre-
ton, and became a part Of the working
force OF a great newspaper He wrote a
poem on Teacher which attracted
much attention. But now he has come
through with something better yeti
pertains to baseball and it's seasonable
if not reasonable. Here is the particu-
lar poem above referred to:
The FL PasO Ball Team.
Bodies is the pitcher
And he can pitch EN- fine;
He's got a dinkey outshoot,
That beats both yours and mine.
Merritt is the catcher,
He picks them off the bat.
Sometimes they hit his fingers
But he doesn't yell for that
Jackson's the first baseman,
He is slim and shy,
But give him a good ball bat
He will make that baseball fly
The Wright boy is the shortstop
He's a good-naturel little runt,
And on the diamond like elsewhere,
He'll pull off some funny stunt
Earthman, he plays second base,
He plays 1t with much grace
And when a ball is knocked to him
If he should catch it, watch him grin
Hewitt is third baseman-
A player good and bad,
He misses every ball that comes
Unless he has a pad.
GoWan is a fielder,
The same with Ketchum and Gray
They catch the ball butterfingered,
And Of course they never let it lay.
DeWiggins is the umpire
A fine umpire is he,
A strike he calls above the head
And a ball above the knee.

TRAINMEN WILL ASK 20
PER CENT RAISE IN PAY
8-Hour Day for Freight Crews;
Mileage for Passenger Men

ST. LOUIS, Aug. THE eight hour
day for freight conductors and train
men and the mileage basis for passen-
ger crews are the most important
propositions that will be submitted to
the Order of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
in the next ten or fifteen days.
The crews will seek the equivalent of
20 per cent increase In wages, the con-
cessions to be requested from the car
riers to be in the form of improved
rules and conditions of work.
This was stated positively following
the adjournment of the Western Asso-
citation of Railway Trainmen here to-
night. The vote will be taken under
the auspices of the general committee
of the western railroads. Ninety-six
chairmen of committees, representing
all western lines, participated in tho
discussions.
If the conductors and trainmen at the
referendum render, as they probably
will, a verdict favorable to the prop
osition outlined by the Western asso-
citation, the matter will be taken up
with the General Managers association,
representing all the western railroads.
The proposition will be submitted to
the carriers in thirty or forty days.

OFFICIALS SAY CENSUS
WILL SHOW 90,000,OOO
1t viii Be October Before Full
Result Is Known

WASHINGTON Aug. 1T will be
about the middle of October before the
people of the United States learn their
true number as revealed by the count
of the thirteenth census.
1t is generally believed the number
will be aboat 90,000.000, and census Of
ficials are known to share this belief.
About 300 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census office are compil-
ing population figures only while the
others are working on other staris-
tics.
Contrary to the general opinion, all
the counting of the people is done by
hand, the tabulating machines being
used only In classification as to race,
sex and other conditions.
Enumeration figures will continue to
be given out day by day for the next
two months or more, while the socio-
logical and industrial figures will come
out later.
All enumeration figures are counted
three or four times and an investiga-
tion Is ordered If there is any sugges-
ton of an error.
In two cities evidence of fraud has
been discovered, and in one, Great
Falls, Mont, a prosecution has been
undertaken for fraudulent enumeration
The intention of Director Durand is
to tabulate first the population of the
large cities, after which the figures of
the states will be given out as they are
ascertained, the returns for all counties
in the state being announced at the
same time as the figures for the state.

ly escaped serious injury. The car
was wrecked, all tie windows were
shattered, the seats were torn loose
and jolted about the car and one side
was crushed in. The trucks broke
loose from the body of the car when it
fell on its side.

pinned beneath the front fender,
which was torn loose and forced across
the front exit. The conductor was on
the rear platform when the car struck
the curve. He was Lurled against a
window and his head was forced
through a double thickness of glass.
He quickly withdrew his head and
had just cleared himself of the jagged
glass when the car toppled over on
its side. Had he been slow in with

bility that he would have been decapi-
tated.
Browning, who was the most serious
ly injured, was riding in the closed
part of the car. When the car left
the rails L. sprang from his seat in
an effo-t to jump. He had just

slight confusion on his right leg.

in the Catholic chapel of the provincial
Jail.
Miss Leneve declined to join the
Protestant prisoners at the service of
the Church Of England, and spent the
day reading in the room she is al

women prisoners.
Crippen, his jailers say, listened de-
voutly to mass and sermon by Mgr.
Tetu, but the extreme precautions
adopted to guard him showed that the
authorities still fear he may do him
self harm.
Although the prison rules prescribe
that all inmates shall attend Sunday
services unless they are ill, Miss Le-
neve made such strong protest that the
jailer permitted her to remain in soli-
tude.

VICTORIA, b. c., Aug Full de-
tails of the fighting between the Chi
nese-Portuguese forces and the pirates
at Colowan, near Macao, were received
by the steamer Empress of India,
which arrived from the orient late yes
terday.
After q weeks bombardment, during
which many fights between landing
parties and the pirates took place, the
allied forces rushed the walls and cap
tured the village. They found the
place practically deserted, most of the
pirates having made their escape dur
ing a storm.
There was much loss of life during
the fighting and 400 pirates were cap
tured. The bombardment was heavy,
the Portuguese gunboat Macao alone
firing 400 shots from her four-inch
guns, wrecking the pirate village and
setting fire to a portion of 1t.
The origin Of the trouble was whole
sale kidnapping of Chinese boys from
schools in Canton.
FORCED TO FLEE
The Portuguese governor sent Lieut..
Ribas and sixty men to rescue the
captives. The Portuguese landed and
were fired on by the pirates, number
being killed. While the landing force
was retiring the supposed peaceful viii
layers opened fire and the Portuguese
had to run for their lives. The shall
low draft gunboat Macao was sent
with reinforcements on July IL and the
next day force Of 105 infantrymen
and a company of artillery with two
field guns was landed.
The attitude of the Chinese fleet,
which quickly assembled, caused some
alarm, but this subsided when Admiral
Ii Chun sent a wireless message of
fering to turn his fleet to the Portu
guese to assist in the fight against
the pirates. He had nine ships, four
of them comparatively large gunboats,
fiotilla.
The investment was completed by
July %, when a small force was cap
tured after being smoked out with
burning sulphur placed at cave mouths.
1t was found then that the majority
of the pirate force, nearly $500 strong,
had managed to escape by junks which
broke through the blockade during a
storm.
An incident of the fighting was the
Disgusting as a coolie of Commander
Woo, a Chinese mandarin, who has.
done much to suppress piracy on the
West river. He received information
that a number of the captives of the
pirates were held in a Chinese house,
and led the Portuguese in an attack
on 1t, which resulted successfully, a
big party of emaciated men, women
and children who were imprisoned,
many chained to walls being taken.
Commander Woo, disguised as
coolie, made a number of trips to the
pirate stronghold to secure informa-
ton.
