CLINTON COLLEGE

Series of Games Played With Charles.
ton Showed up Well for
the PreSbyterians.

Clinton, April, 10.-The local base
ball fans are enthusiastic over the
team the college has out this year 1t
has played four games so far this
season, all with Charleston college,
winning three of them. 1t is a matter
of common belief that they lost the
second game in Charleston because
they spent the morning on the water
and in the surf and were not in ply
sical condition to play in the after
noon. But he would be a poor excuse
for man who would say that a sight
or Forts Sumter and Moultrie and a
battle with the surf are not cheaply
bought with one baseball game.
While the Presbyterians clearly out
classed their visitors they gave very
pretty exhibition of bas, ball on the
home diamond Friday an Saturday
especially Saturday when Charleston
pitched Levi. Their team work, their
earnestness and Coolness are being ia
vorably commented on
These have heretofore been the weak
points of the Presbyterian team. In
Fuller, Clinton has a batsman worth
counting on. Winn is considered one
of the best college catchers in the
state. But there is not weak man on
the lineup apparently. They go up
against Erskine next Friday
Mr. A. b. Galloway has coached the
team this year and he has received
many compliments on the success of
his work

Washington, April 9-"We have crossed the Rubicon. For the first time in its history the Payne tariff act yes- terday turned the tide and gave us a surplus instead of deficit"
 The foregoing words were uttered by Serene E. Payne of the House ways and means committee, and his two chief lieu tenants, John Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Henry s. Boutell of Illinois, respectively. The party had congregated in MT. Paynes committee room and they spoke in unison and most emphatica'ls of the haccess of the new law.
 "rhe surplus of receipts over expendi- lures at the close of business last night, Y said MT. Boutell, speaking for the trio. was S22, ,452, GOO. Substracting from this sum the s100oeo received on account of the corporation tax and which is in liti- gation, we have a net surplus of s22,0oo,- 900 in round figures which is absolutely gilt edged"
 ..considering that the Payne law did not go into effect until August 5, 1909. we consider it has made a remarkable showing" continued the speaker, the most extraordinary showing. indeed, ever made by any tariff law. It should be borne in mind that this surplus has been attained In the face of most ex- traordinary expenditures, the principal or

which was made on account of the Pana- ma canal
 During the period in question $22.0OO,- 900 hos been paid out of the general fund for the construction of the canal and that will be reimbursed by bonds," said the speaker.
 Entering into details to explain the method of his calculations, MT. Boutell said that from July 1 to August 5, inclu- sive. the dates of the Payne law work ing best there had been a deficit of sl3,- 122, ,692 to be confronted while at the close of business yesterday the deficit had fallen to s13,000.240.
 Messrs Payne, Dalzell and Boutell united In the prediction that the entire deficit would be wiped our before tne end of the present fiscal year.
 MT. Payne entered into an argument to show that the increased cost of living could not be attributed to the tarin rates, because in Nebraska money was drug on the market. Not in a single case, said he. .can such an increase be traced to the tariff, and duties have not been ad- yanced by the present law, but in many instances have been reduced"
 He said this was especially true in the case of meats. The advance in prices of commodities, he declared, has been due to the increased demand which in turn Is attributable to the universal em- ployment of labor at the old or at i'm proved wages.
 ''The supply has not kept pace with the demand" he asserted.

 For the present Dr. Doyen is unwilling to publish broadcast the composition of his new elixir or the process of it's manufacture. Some of the components, he says. are very rare, and are to be found only in certain parts of the world and in certain seasons. None of them are to be found in America.
 Among the tests which Dr. Doyen claims have been made of mycolysine are cures of puerperal fever effected In the Purbio hospital, Madrid, by Dr. Guttierez' physician to the Queen, and cures of four cases of typhoid fever and five cases of scarlet fever by Dr. Cazal, physician to the Prince of Monaco. In pr. Cazafs cases the mycoysine was used hypoder- micaliy. and in the typhoid cases the fever was abated in from three to six days Dr.. Doyen claims he and his associates have observed .ss.. curative effects of mycoly- sine in hundreds of cases.

SENATE WILL FIGHT
 BAYTLESHIP PLAN

Washington. April 9.-(Special. )-While the House has settled on a programme of two battleships for the navy, it is by no means certain what the Senate will do on the naval building programme. The two battleships were put into the House bill only after hard fight. Another hard fight will be required in the Senate to keep them in.
 Senator Hale is prepared to make viz orous contest against two battleships. He will make this in the naval affairs com mittee and on the floor of the Senate. Senator Perkins, who is chairman of the naval affairs committee, is a two-bat- tleship champion.
 The position taken by Senator Hale is similar to that taken by number of the House members, that one battleship added to the navy a year Is ample.

Paris. April .-(Special)-Dr. Louis Doyen. disooverer of an elixir Of life which he claims will prolong the average of human life from 15 to 20 years an nounced today that the duly authenticated American physician could receive supplies of mycolysine, as he has named the dis- covery, for the purpose of making tests and experiments.
 Applications are to be made to Doyeh through the American embassy in Paris. He expects that four weeks will be suffi- cient time to be covered by treatment or characteristic with the result of convinc- ing the intelligent experimenter that the claims made for the discovery are true.
 Dr. Doyen claims for mycolysine that if is a preventive of disease as well as cure. It can be administered by being
