ONLY LONELY MAN ESCAPES
Superintendent of Overland Park School eaw Eight Chances Slip.

ST. LOUIS, March A. Salary will be secondary consideration with teachers who apply for the vacancy in the Overland Park school when Miss Agnes Brady, daughter of Hugh J. Brady, resigns to marry James Bettis, for she is the eighth girl who has been lured away from that same schoolroom in five years by Cupid.
 This is a record that not even the St. Louis public library can equal and E. E. Morton, superintendent of the school, claims a record.
 The teachers who left this school to be married were: Misses Agnes Owen, Leila Stark, Marguerite Gallo way, Martha Weber, Belle Wengle, Genevieve Starin and Ida Gottlieb.
 The tragedy of 1t all Is that Su- perlntendent E. E. Morton, of this school, is a handsome bachelor, of 35 and he has been in charge during the i've years while Cupid has been making periodical raids on his as- sistants. He is an inveterate solitaire player, and to this lonesome card game he attributes his lack of love luck.

TOTAL OF 5000 MEN WILL BE EMPLOYED BY MINE CLOSE
 TO TOWN.

JUNEAU, Feb. 20 John F. Malony, who has been spending the winter in Seattle and San Francisco came up on the Humboldt today, and announced that F. w. Bradley, con sulting engineer of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining company and president of the Alaska Juneau, a property situated above Juneau, would come here next month and spend during the summer $600,0 constructing a mill and carrying on work on the property. The Alaska Juneau Is one of the very best mines in Southeastern Alaska, but has never been extensively worked. Dur ing the summer thirty-fve or forty men only were employed.
 The Californa-Nevada Copper com pany has a force of men working three shifts on the Basin mine and the timbers and lumber for the stamp mill. together with part of the ma chinery, are now on the wharf. By the middle of summer 200 men will be employed.
 The Alaska Perseverance Mining company will operate this season as usual They generally employ sev- enty-tive to ninety men and work during the open season.
 William Mein, son of the first consulting engineer of the Treadwell Company, with a strong San Fran cisco company behind him, will un- dertake the opening of the historic Bears nest group on Douglas Island. Mir Mein will send an expert north on the next steamer and thereafe CT work will be hurried cn the property.
 The Kensington Mining company, which year ago took up the Bern CTS Bay property for $S50,000, has ordered its supplies, established of fees in this city and Is now pick ing crews to send to Comet City, where the properties lie, and an- nounce the intention of employing 150 men before the end of April.
 The de Groff Mining company, which has property at Chicagoff island, near Sitka, has purchased the Mills mine. close to its own property, and additional stamps for an enlarged mill have been ordered and twice as many men will be em- ployed at Chicagoff this summer as ever before.
 The Eagle River Mining company is in good ore and that camp, which has for years been steady pro- ducer, will employ more men this summer and take out more gold than ever in it's history.
 What with the development of it's several water powers, the repairs to it's gigantic ditch-line, the installa- tion of electricity to take the place of waterpower and the finishing of work in the lower levels and shafts, the Alaska-Treadwell Gold Mining company will alone employ 2,OOO men.
 This number, added to those em- ployed in the immediate vicinity of Juneau will make a total approxi- mating 5000 men, and Juneau cannot help be a good camp.

The Fox and the Gr-p.s Over Again

A field slave in South America one day found in his trap a nice plump rabbit. He took him cut alive, held him under his arm, patted him and began to speculate on his qualities. "Oh, how fat!-berry fat!-the fat test I eber did see? Let me see how I'll cook him. I broil him! No. he so fat he lose all de grease. l fry him. An. yes! he so berry fat he fry himself. Go4Iy! how fat he be! No, won't fry him - I stew him." The thought of the savory stew made the negro forget himself, and, in spread. ing out the feast in his imagination, his arms relaxed, when suddenly off hoped the rabbit, and, squatting at a goodly distance away, he eyed his late owner with cool composure The negro knew, of course, there was an end or the stew, and therefore, summing up all his philosophy, he thus addressed the rabbit, as he shook his fist at him - You long. earad, white-whiskered rascal, you not so berry fat after all!"

One Sunday, when he was preaching. he happened to look in the pew where the negro was, and could hardly contain himself as he saw the negro, who could not read or write word, scribblng away most .ndustriously. After meeting, he said to the negro, Tom, what were you doing in church."

What would seem to be the beginning
OF the end, SO far as the Tigers pennant
chances are concerned. was the spiking
of Capt. George Moriarity in New York
yesterday. Jennings, of course, has other
infielders who can fill Moriarity's shoes,
but the effect of having him out of the
game is greater than it would appear on
the surface.
About the next thing to happen will
be the dropping out of the lineup Of
Ty Cobb. who for weeks has been playing
solely on his nerve. Ty is a sick man.
but because of his prowess has stuck
to his Job in the hope of being able to
keep his team in the race. But reports
have it that Ty cannot go on much
longer. He is said to be but SHADOW
OF his former self, and is forcing himself
to do what should be the simplest things
during game. A general breakdown
in Cobb's case is not out Of the question,
and, slight as are the Tigers chances
now, they would surely be out of 1t If
Cobb gets out of the game.
This has been a most disastrous east
ern trip for Jennings team. He has
won but few game, five in number. and
Is in great danger of being so far be-
hind the Athletics before he gets home
that nothing but a miracle can bring him
to the top again.
One Of the prettiest plays in base ball
is the stealing of home. and yet the rules
are SO interpreted in the American
League that this play can be blocked
by an opposing catcher any time it comes
up II, for instance. the catcher, seeing
the runner coming, steps forward and in
terferes with the batter. the umpire is
forced to send the man stealing back TO
third and send the batter to first on the
catcher's interference. In any close game
where one run would perhaps decide II
any thinking catcher would, OF course,
deliberately interfere with the batter
when an effort is being made to steal
home and thus perhaps save the game.
In the National League the rule Is not
followed in this way. There the man
scores on the interference, and the bat
ter is not sent to first
It is rather amusing to read in the Bal
timore papers that Connie Mack paid
Jack Dunn 81 600 for Catcher Egan, when
the fact of the matter is that Mack loan
ed Egan to Baltimore under an agree
ment which gives him the privilege to
recall him before August 20. Mack mas
used Baltimore for a farm for several
years. and he does not have to pay any
cash for anything he gets from tnat cIun.
The story that he paid some fabulous
sum for Lefty Russell last year was
shown to be erroneous, for Russell was
secured in exchange for lot OF super
fluous material which Mack handed JACK

HARVARD LOSES PLAYERS.
Lewis and Minot, Gridiron Stars,
Fail.in Examinations.

BOSTON, Mass, August Sad news
for Harvard came out yesterday when it
was learned that Dick Lewis and Dodo
Minot. two crack foot ball players, would
not return this fall because they failed
in their June examinations.
This comes as an early and a staggering
blow to Harvard because of the serious
situation that confronts the Crimson
eleven this year and the ability of the
two men ii has lost.
Lewis played left end on the varsity
last fall, while Minot. formerly the All
American fullback, was put in at right
guard. where his playing was a revelation
TO every one. especially to the men
against whom he played.
The playing of Lewis at left end was
OF such sterling quality that there was
every reason to believe that If he played
again this year he would have won a
place on the All American, and Harvard
can i'll spare him.
Graduation this last June tore big holes
in Harvard's team. Both Capt. Withing-
ton, and Bob Mckay, the All American
tackle by unanimous choice finished their
college careers while Perkins. the center.
and Leslie, the fullback. were graduated
In addition. practically all the good subs
for line positions were graduated, leaving
Coach Haughton with a tough proposition
to solve in building up good eleven this
fall. Now. of course. the loss Of Lewis
and Minot makes his task very much
harder.
