SHOE DAY ON THE BowERY.
Big Tim Sullivan Distributes 5000
Pairs to the Needy.

New York. Feb. Monday was
"shoe day. down on the Bowery and
a timely one, too. Snow began fall
ing just as State Senator Timothy Sui
livan's agents began the distribution.
In all, 5000 pairs of stout shoes and
an equal number of pairs of heavy
woollen sox were given out. No ques-
lions were asked of those who held the
tickets that had been issued at big
TINS Christmas dinner to the poor of
the Bowery-except the size of the
shoe the prospective wcarer desired.
Men of all conditions were in the
lines and the only disappointed per-
sons were the Bowery pawnbrok ers.
In previous years they had reaped a
harvest by loaning small sums on the
shoes that fell into unworthy hands.
The heavy snow forced most of the
recipients to make use of the gifts.
big Tim was too modest to re-
main in town for the occasion. He was
in the senate chamber at Albany.

CHILD'S HEAD SOLID
MASS OF HUMOR
4 Was Awful. Cried Continually.
Had to Hold and Watch Him
to Keep Him from Scratching.
Suffering Was Dreadful.
Had not Used Half a Set of Cuticura
Remedies Before Head was Clear
and Free from Eczema.

"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
che best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had child
who had q rash on its head when 1t was
real young. Doctor called it baby rash.
He gave US medicine, but. it did no
good. In a few days the head was
solid mass, q running sore. 1t was
awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him Ito
keep himl from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last we
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got q dollar bottle OF Cuticura Resell
vent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment, and
i bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed, washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We had not
used half before the child's head was
clear and free from eczema, and 1t has
never come back again. His head was
healthy and he had beautiful head Of
hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment
very good for the hair. It makes the
hair grow and prevents falling hair"

SANTA FE MAY BUILD SOUTH.
Engineers to Look Over Route of Den
yer 6 Gulf Road.


Denver, Colo, Feb 7.-Citizens of
Lamar, Colo, have presented a petition
to the Santa Fe railroad requesting it
to carry to completion the abandoned
Denver & Gulf project and the Off
Gals have replied that On investiga-
ton of the outlook for the proposed
line will be made. The Denver & Gulf
was projected from this city through
Lamar to Texhoma, Tex, and then on
to Fort Worth.
The Santa Fe has advised the La
mar people that it is willing to consider
the matter, and will send engineers
into the field at an early date. The
immediate plan is to consider the adj
visibility of building from Lamar
south to a large area OF land to be
brought under water by the Two
Buttes irrigation project. The distance
Is thirty-f1ve miles.
The men behind the movement be-
live that if the Santa Fe undertakes
that work It will continue on south to
a connection with its line at Canyon
City, Tex, where it will connect with
new route now under construction
to the Gulf of Mexico. A cutoff from
Lamar to Denver would follow, they
say, as a natural consequence.
The proposed line will give the Santa
Fe a direct route from Denver to Gal
weston and shorten the distance be-
tween Denver and Kansas City, Chi

ANXIETY OVER OKLA. TEAM.
Two Claimants of Franchise Can Not
Agree.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 7.-Wil1 the fans
of Oklahoma City take over the fran
chise IN the Texas league in order to
make certain that they will have a first
division team during the coming sea-
son?
This question is being discussed at
meetings of the fans and stockholders
of the Oklahoma City baseball club,
and it results from the continued de-
lay between the different parties who
claim ownership of the franchise. Both
r. E. Moist, the former president and
part owner, and Abner Davis, the new
president and part owner, claim the
franchise, and the courts are still be-
ing relied upon to settle the trouble.
Fearful that they must get busy, in
order to insure a team, the fans are
taking the matter up themselves. The
district court decided the ownership
recently in Moist's favor, and the
Texas league magnates recently de-
cided it in Davis favor.
The fans have discovered, however,
that in the mixup nobody had sent
contracts to last years players, and
but few new men have been signed
up. 1t was then the fans got busy.
Several meetings have been held dur
ing the past week, the indications be-
ing that there will be satisfactory re-
suits. The minority stockholders have
asked the court to put the franchise
and team in the hands of a receiver,
who now will have authority to go
ahead building up a team for the 1911
season

Quigley was with Moll's circuit last

him under consideration by presidents
of more important leagues and it IS
not likely that he will have chance

he has practically been promised a
