tons, but nobody seems to know
whether the offer will be covered
or not. The wise money" how

Giants Slump the Cause.
The reason advanced for the
strong support accorded to the Red
SoX is that the Giants are. not
playing championship ball and have
not been able entirely to recover
from the slump of last July: also
that in the opinion of some of the
best posted baseball players and
managers the Red Sox are stronger
as a whole than the Athletics of
last year.
As usual, John J. McGraw isn't
talking for publication, but he is
quietly preparing the Giants for a
desperate fight with the widely
praised Beaneaters. McGraw pays
no attention to the wagers of the
wise men or the odds quoted by the
lightning calculators.

down through the coming tower
and disposed of themselves as
best they might on the floor of the
submarine. Every man of the
crew has his post, some at the
engine, others at the dynamos and
the rest at various places of duty.
Just before going down the COM
mander asks each man If all is
ready in his department and, up
on being answered in the affirma-
tive, screws on the cover of the
coming tower and descends to
the floor of the submarine, taking
his post at the periscope wheel.
The motion Is not at all disa-

the observer nothing except few
minnows which go sailing by,

MANILA, P. l., Aug. 13.-"Dive
to twenty feet"
The order came from Lieut.. Nc
Whorter, commander of subma-
rine "A, who stood at the peri
scope of his craft. Instantly the
command was repeated by the
petty officer in charge of the
crew of ten which man the float
ing machine shop. The latter
gave the wheel couple of turns
and with a slight downward mo-
ton of the bow the submarine
crept toward the bottom of the
bay. Arrived at the required
depth she Strengthened out on an
even keel and rushed forward.
All on board were clad lightly,
having peeled down to under
shirts and trousers, for at this
time of the year the waters of
Manila bay are warm and this,
combined with the heat generated
by the machinery within the craft
when it is submerged, makes the
temperature something about 120

up above the craft like the mast
of a ship 20 or more feet, while
the lower end is down in the hold
of the vessel. A few inches of
this periscope Is all that remains
exposed of a submarine before it
launches a torpedo.
When 1t was desired to fire a
torpedo it was slipped into it's
tube in the bow of the vessel and
aimed thirty feet astern of a navy
boat which had been anchored in
the bay for that purpose. No per-
ceptible jar or movement was felt
when Lieut.. McWhorter fired the
torpedo, by pressing a button on
wire connection with the mech
anism of the torpedo. The lat
ter sped through the water Just
below the surface and Its course
was easily seen. Straight for the
mark it flew, sped past the stern
of the target boat, some three
hundred yards beyond 1t, where it
was picked up, sputtering and
smoking, by the crew of a nevy

There are two women IN SIN

Then there is bunch of seven

Matthews and Duffy, the Amer

Naughty Oh, dear no! All
the Objectionable features have
been taken out. Yes, indeed. The
Empress headliner for this week
is purity itself.
In some towns nobody but the
mayor saw lie Petite Gosse."
Then they put on the lid. "Too
suggestive" was the cry. OF
course, the Apache dance still lives
In the act, but it isn't suggestive
not a bit. The double murder
that ends the act is only the sec
ondary feature.
OF Joe Cook, the ebony hued
entertainer" nothing too good can
be said. His act and himself are
a scream from end to end. YER
satility is we'll displayed, he is in
deed the master of all trades.
Although trifle insipid at
times the comedy satire by the
Leap Year Girls" who mistake
piano tuner for physician, fall
ing head over heels in love with
him at first sight, will easily pass
for a good turn.
Jack Altman, tenor, with his
quaint songs of Ireland, will come
in for goodly share of the ap-
plause during the week.
Little drops of musical comedy
are presented by Won Hampton
and Josselyn, man and a maid,
an important adjunct to the bill.
AS an opener 1t would be diff
cult to pick a more acceptable ACT
than that Of Lowe and Edwards
xylophonists, and ragtime experts.

Let 1t be understood that the
sitting of the city hall chimes
did not signify that the ''peace ON
earth, good will to men" spirit
had ceased to reign in Tacoma

They say Mac is a pretty good
sort of an old plug generally,
only he's troubled with insom-
MIA and can't get the required
amount of natures balm unless
the chimes are turned off. So
Mac asked the city to cut 'em
out until he left.
Made 1t sort of rough on the
rest of us who have become so
used to hearing the old tower
speak out In the night that we
had to wake up every half hour
to find out what was the matter,
but Mac was a visitor and we
tried hard to overlook 1t.
We knew Mac wouldn't stay
long. Travelling statesmen never
do. That is, unless they become
SO infected with Puget Sound OPP
timism and Tacoma good cheer
that they decide to locate perman-
emily and bring out the wife ana

West Point Waking Up

West Point, Neb., Jan. 1.-THE
leading merchants OF West Point have
at last walked up to the fact that
printers ink, judiciously and freely
used, is a very profitable proposition.
They have Joined forces and have in
ausurated joint clearance sale to be
continued for one week commencing
on Monday. and have filled the local
papers with some excellent advertis-
ing matter. Thousands of dollars are
annually sent to the mail order houses
by the people of this vicinity which
the merchants think can be just as
profitably spent at home. To this end
they have inaugurated the clearance
sale, the first of its kind ever at
tempted in the city.
