SEASON CLOSED WITH.
VICTORY

Skowhegan wound up the baseball
stason at the fair last Saturday, and
at the same time gave the spectators
great deal of baseball for their
money. The game was the third and
deciding ont of the series with
Ticonnet, and the Speed Boys had to
fight for everything they got. After
tying the score in the fifth, Show
hogan went to bat in the ninth, need
ing to runs to win. Nutter and E.
LaCase both hit safely. Then with
| two gone o. LaCase drove two bag
ger to centre, and it was all over
Dore went in to pitch at the begin
ming for the first time in five weeks
and the first four men up filled the
| bases. Cavanaugh then took his
place, but Ticonnet tailed 5 runs
before the balloon came down. Nut
ter opened the second with a double
another in the third, but Skowhegan
came right back with three. The
visitors kept right on coming, how
ever, SO when Laney came up as the
first man in the fifth, the Speed Boys
held the small end of to II score.
He made an easy out, short to first,
but Head started things with a
single. Cavanaugh followed with a
double, and Nutters was too hot for
Lawry to handle. The crowd began
to warm up right off, the boys batted
one more than clear round, and made
the score a tie amid scenes of wild
excitement Ticonnet scored again in
the seventh and kept everybody on
edge until the whirlwind at the close.
The final outcome was largely trace
able to the timely batting of Nutter
and the two LaCases, the former es-
pecially putting up some remarkable
work with the stick. The summary:

London,s pramatio censors.

London has had its absurd dramatic
censors even If it cannot quite come up
to Vienna. Colley Cibber in his auto
biography tells us of one master Of the
revels who was responsible for the IL
censing of plays in those days expung-
ing the whole first act of Richard Ill"
on the ground that the distresses Of
Henry VI. would remind weak people
of King James. then living In France.
In fact, Shakespeare has more than
once been censored, for "King Lear"
was inhibited during the illness Of
George III. George Colman when
reader of plays banned the use Of such
words as angel and heaven.-London

FIRE EATERS.
The Trick of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.

The Trick OF Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.
Fire tricks were practiced in very
ancient times. The first known fire
breather was a Syrian slave named
Eunus, leader in the Servile war in
Sicily, 100 b. G. He pretended to have
immediate communication with the
gods. When desirous of inspiring his
followers with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order to accomplish this feat Eu-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends,
and, having filed it with some burn
ing substance, he put 1t in his mouth
and breathed through 1t. The same
trick is performed today in a more
approved manner. The performer rolls
some flax or hemp into a ball about
the size of walnut, which he let's
burn until it is nearly consumed.
Then he rolls around it more fax
while 1t Is still burning. BY this
means the fire is retained in the ball
into his mouth unperceived and
breathes through 1t. Ills breath re-
wives the fire, and he sustains no in
jury so long as he inhales only through
his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats of this sort
performed by the ancients. An old
ordeal was the holding of a redhot
iron by the accused, who was not
burned If he were innocent. Probably
some protective paste was used on the
hands. The peculiar property of
mineral salts, such as alum. in pro-
tecting articles of dress from fire has
long been known. An old Milanese
devised costume consisting of a
cloth covering for the body which had
been STEPPED in alum. A metallic
dress of wire gauze was added to this,
and thus protected man might walk
on hot iron.-Harper's.

CARNIVAL PLANS
ARE DISCUSSED
FURTHER CONFERENCE THIS
MORNING BETWEEN AMUSE-
MENT COMMITTEE AND
PARKER'S AGENT.

The question whether or not n car
nival company should be brought &C.
Hancock I'm connection with the pre-
posed semi-centennial home coming
celebration next summer. was the
principal subject discussed at a spe-
cial meeting of the executive commit
tee held last evening at the city hall.
Con Kennedy, manager of the Karker
Amusement company of Abilene,
Kansas, which has visited this city
on several occasions, the last being at
the st. George reunion three years
ago, presented proposal to the COM
mittee, and long discussion followed.
The sentiment was expressed that
the celebration is to be a home COM
ing, first of all, and that such things
as side shows carnivals, etc, are a
secondary consideration. Therefore Ii
is the purpose TO emphasize the home
coming features, and do nothing that
would tend to overshadow this phase
of the matter. It was admitted how
ever. that some shows were essential
anu IL was lilt Ftilliilltnl VI llltSt
present at the meeting that it would
be well to make a contract with some
first-class carnival company to fur
nish such amusements. The commit
tee held a further consultation this
morning at the Scott Hotel with Mr..
Kennedy.
The question of changing the date
was briefly discussed, but it was the
general feeling of those present at
TO meeting that IL would be inadvis-
able To make any change from the
time announced. the week beginning
July IL following the payday in the
mines. The matter will be handed on
to the full meetong Of the Greater
Hancock club to be held at the city
hall on Thursday evening, to be pass
ed upon finally, but il is not expect
ed that any change will be made. The
suggestion will be made to the Chau-
tauqua managers that the Hancock
grove be used for the assembly in
stead OF Electric park, so as to bring
IL nearer the center of attraction and
lHtltpN StNuIt the Dentll OF the laTSt
crowds drawn to the "home coming"
The main drawback i'm connection
with such proposition is the lack of a
suitable pavilion in the grove.
An idea was advanced by one Of
the members of the committee rela-
tive 20 making some of the amusement
features that will be provided for the
celebration, n permanent feature of
the Hancock city park, and be left
there after the conclusion of the big
doings in July. BY retaining such de-
vices as merry go rounds, rolling
waves, soup bowls and other mer-
rymaklng contrivances such as are
prominent features at amusement
parks. the Hancock park could be
made a popular playground for the
people OF the city, n sort of Luna
Park" or white city on modified
scale. The suggestion met with much
favor and efforts will probably be
made after the celebration to carry
ii into effect.
