general public that the Elks' order is not a serious and purposeful organ ization.
 Now that the Elks have led the way it may be hoped that other se- cret orders will find the example profitable. O course. the average goat is not nearly so vicious as he is pie tured. only a few societies really encourage "horseplay" in their cere- monies of initiation. But the fact that there is usually a small coterie of lodge members who take an un- due interest in tOrmenting initiates no doubt has kept many a man from fraternal fellowship. But the day of emancipation is at hand. The goat is doomed. and it is well. Secret so- cieties that have for their ideals and tht beautiful things set forth in most of their rituals do themselves harm by adhering to the old system of unrestrained meTriment in initiation ceremonies. A patient masculine world will watch the departure of the goat without regret. He is getting just what is coming to him.

 Myers was here just after the Johnson-P -Pierson match, in which the big Swede met his Waterloo. At the time Myers wanted to get a match with some local celebrity but none happened along with a challenge.
 After his failure here MyeTs went to the southern part of the territory. In some way he got into cpmmuni- cation with Sandow and they agreed on a match. Phoenix was selected as the place, for there are many en- thusiastic followers Of the mat game here. They hope to get a full house at 9 and 5e cents, s1 for ringsidc seats.
 Myers and Sandow are both here. They are husky youngsters, being well up toward the 200 pound mark. San dow has the best reputation in the east, though he has been heard of here only to a limited extent. Both the boys have met some classy wrestlers and should give an exhiDi- tion well worth seeing.
 Amateurs who would like tO appear in preliminary bouts should see either Sandow or Myers.

EXAGGERATED REPORTS
 OF HEAT REGISTRATIONS
Not More Than Five Animals Have
 Died.

For several days there have been reports of the heavy loss of mules and horses by heat. As a matter of fact not more than five animals have died in the valley from this cause though probably the last month has been the hardest one on stock in the history of the valley.
 Of the deaths two have occurred in the reclamation camps where about 300 head are kept at work The beet sugar people have lost one, one died in Phoenix and another is said to have died on a ranch
 Reclamation wor1 requiring the use of horses and mules has been sus- pended at Yuma on account of the heat but here it was necessary by reason of the extensions and repairs on the system to keep at work How ever the reclamation officials have ex- ercised tine greater care in the hand ling of stock.
 Dr. J. c. Norton gives some valuable advice by following which owners may save their stock much suffering and possibly may save their lives. When a horse or mule which has been en- gagged in heavy work shows unwilling ness to continue or is not disposed to eat, the chances are that he has a touch of heat. He has no other way of showing what is the matter and in particularly humid and hot weather it is far safer to accept this sign as q sign of heat prOstration.
 If that is what really is the mat ter with the animal, he will probably not survive the secondary of hard work, where as if he is given time to recover from the preliminary touch of heat he will come out all right.

PASSING THE GOAT"

The spirit of reform has made wig orous onslaught upon some of our most cherished institutions, says the Kansas City Journal. One by one ancient and honored things have fad ed like a dream" in the Onrush of a thunderous civilization. Nothing seems sacred to the agents of demolition and now a vandal hand has struck vital blow at the venerable goat" of the Elks initiation. No longer will the festive old billy take such venSeful part in the ceremOnines of inducting new members of that benevolent and fraternal order into their inheritance. His horns which so proudly proclaim ed his office are to be lowered and his hOary old whiskers are to be trail ed in the dust. He is to be eliminated done away with and forever banished as a functionary in initiatOry cere- monies.
 At the recent meeting of the Elks' grand lodge in Atlantic City the his toric controversy between the pro- goat and the anti-goat factions was renewed. with the result that the anti goat contingent won a signal victory. Those who have contended against the use of the goat and what they term "horseplay' in connection with the formal ritual work hold tht opinion that these extraneous pleasantries de- ter many eligible men from joining the order. The fear of ridiCule and the sort of persecution which has all ways been considered indispensable to the process of initiation are believed to have been harmful also in creat- ing a false idea in the minds of the

A 5ELF-sELLrNG MONOGRAPH.
One Manufacturer Sends Persuasive
 Records as Statesmen.

Around the phonograph the charm of novelty still fingers. New adapta- -tions of the principle constantly are appearing and stimulate again our Tagging sense of wonder at the un- canniness of canned conversation. A resourceful advertiser ships by mail to doubting customers the persuasive eloquence of rich, clear voice and talks them into buying, though they live in far Kamchatka. Appropriately enough, he manufactures photograph records
 He dcclaims to some such effect as this: Our new double disc is music itself unequaled- will unfailingly outwear others-listen-the living voice of the artist" Put the records to the test, he pleads. Listen-a bu- gle call-and you hear it footing; or the delicate strains of the violin and the example; orchestra bells (ting, tlingD: "the pure golden tone of the cornet' (scarcely possible to suggest with type); the "dulcet blend ing of flute and violin" (type fails againD: the birdlike warbling of the piccolO'' (please whistle); 'the stately sonorOusness of the trombone" (um- pr-r-rr-rD; or the reedy sweetness of the clarinet ("?). And nOw-"the splendid ensemble of the full Orches- tra"-toot-' -'?-ting umprr- r-bling- boomi What an advantage this sys- tenn has over cold type readily may be seen in this hopeless attempt to re- produce sweet music in ink.
 few other novel uses of the in- vention are worth noting. Many young women with operatic aspira- tiOns make a practice of singing du- cts with Caruso. whose voice easily is extracted from a furrowed black disk. In Lansing, Kas., works Will Higgins, an editor who sets type to the in spring canned music of an office phonograph. 'If he Is in a hurry. records the Labor Chronicle. "he puts in a record that will play lively air. something like the 'Cubandla Glide. If the day is dull he has his instru- ment play some dreamy waltz or iul- laby. If a candidate drops in to see him-if he is live one will turns on a tune like See the Conquering Hero Comes,' or some other appro- priate air"

BALL FANS GALLERY
 OF HOTADLES
FRED DUNLAP.
To Whom the World Was a Bass Ball
 and a Ball Park.

It's pretty safe observation that there never was a player. before or since his time, who was so totally wrapped up in basebll and so inalienably attached to the sport as was Fred Dunlap. who has been by many considered the greatest second baseman that eer lived. He was a league leader at fielding He was more batter than the majority: he could run like a hydrant. and he didn't know fear. It is belieed that he could have beaten Fitzsimmons and Jeff at their own game. and done it between innings. For these things. Fred Dun lap was a great man, accordn,; to his lights. A little laurel for the late la mented.
 Dunlap learned to play ball on the vacant Philadelphia lots. It was read ing. writing and 'rithmetic to him. and he cared little for any other schooling. He started as an infant and never let go. He trained himself to grab ground CTS that all other second basemen let get by. He cultivated the use of both hands and with the first that Was clos est he gathered in the ball and shot it to the bases for Put-out.
 You may have heard it said that once upon time Cleveland had the greatest infield on earth. It was made up Big Bill Phillips at first, Dunlap at second, Jerry Denny at third. and Jack Glass cock shortstop. And the greatest of these was Fred Dunlap.
 Dunlap had small hands and the pink and white complexion of a cOun- try girl before she has been introduced to the bright lights of city life He didn't look like a fighter. and some times his gentle appearance brought challenges-and trouble for the chal- lengers. once a rebeIlious player tried to start something with Fred, who hap pened at the. time to be his captain. MT. Dunlap pointed out that personal noticeable disfigurement might be em barrassing from a spectacular point of view. ''The ladies might not like to see up in tomorrow's game with bum maps. he explained. Sc he invited the mutineer to a fight at which neither was to hit the other in the face. They stripped to the waist and went at it i the privacy of the clubhouse. So lar dS appearances NcIlr Duilteil Nei9 outclassed. He looked much as Al Bridwell might look alongside Larry Mclean. But what he did to his big ger adversary would be a shame to even hint at There was no more ques- tioning Fred's authority. Curt Welch, the hard man of the St. Louis Browns. got some medicine out of the same lit tie bottle when he tried to take Dun laps measure.
 Dunlap starred with Detroit, Pitts burg and other teams. and accumulated a mans sized wad of wealth. IL didn't last him nearly so long as it had taken him to make it. When he died he didn't have a dollar. But while his fortune of s1OO. 900 was being spent the sports knew that Fred Dunlap was in town.
