LARGER SEMINARY GLASSES
Usual Classes Graduating This Year
 and Many Inquiries Next.

Theological seminaries, now closing, almost uniformly report larger classes graduating this year, and an unprecedented number of inquiries for catalogues. indicating, so the re- gistrars think, greatly increased enrolment next year. Union TheolO- gical seminary, about whose ortho- doxy complaint is made in certain quarters, ends it's year with the larg- est student body in it's history, and the largest number of inquiries. It could have four hundred students instead of half th,t number if it had accomodations, it's registrar says.
 Princeton reports 1S5 students, with 37 graduates, larger number thln for some years. Lane increased it's student body from 5 to 6S last wear and expects an enrolment of 80 this coming fall, and Yale graduates the same number as last year. It's ap- plications for admission next year. il states, are unusually numerous. Drew reports S80.000 in hand for a new dining hall. and an increase in graduates from % last year to A this year.
 The Southern Baptist and Chicago seminaries one at Louisville and the other at Chicago and both drawing from the west snd south, think the supply of ministerial timber to be undiminished. They hold their own in graduates and report college men to be aroused as rarely before, if in quiries from them indicate they are considering the ministry as life work The southern Baptist Sem mary thinks the supply inadequate, but improving in quality.

PHOENIX NEGRO
 DIES IN PRESCOTT
James Thomas Caught in Act of Burg larizing Second Hand
 Store.

In an attempt to burglarize the second hand store of George H. Bishop on West Gurley street at 1I:30 o'clock Sunday night, James Thomas. colored was shot through the left lung and died in about two minutes afterward The man killed was found in the act of entering the premises. and after testimony was heard by coroners jury. con- sisting of Charles Nolan J Meade. stone, F. II Wilson and A. x. Schmehl. MT Bishop was exonerated Of any crime.
 Particulars of this unfortunate oc- currence. says the Journal Miner. as related by MT and Mrs. Bishop were given to a press representative, and that the latter was justified was clearly shown and was approved by many residents of the city. Mrs. Bishop stated that they were occu- pying the rear part of the building for sleeping purposes in order to be able to protect their property against burglars. At the hour of the bur glary she was awake and heard foot steps in front as the party was ap- preaching from the east. She be- came uneasy when the man stopped in front of the window on the south side and awoke her husband. MT. Bishop jumped out of bed and. graspng his Colts special of 30 caliber, started for the front of the room. As he was quietly approach ing that point, the window pane was broken, when he raised the gun and fired at the man on the out side, who was withdrawing his hand from the showcase and who was seen to have something in it.
 A ladies gold watch was picked
 up in the street later. which fas
 identified by MT Bishop as his property and which was lying in the showcase within a few inches of the glass broken by Thomas. Other jew
 elrv was also lying there, which Thomas was unable to secure after receiving the wound which proved fatal
 That Thomas had designs of bur glary on the place was also learned in the testimony given. He visited the store on Saturday. and made inquiry of many articles, and re- mained for some time to make a close scrutiny of the interior. going from one article to the other, and seemed to be especially interested in the assortment of jewelry that was displayed in the case sitting close l to the window that he afterward | tried to enter.
 An examination of the body at the inquest showed that the bullet which proved fatal entered the left arm and passed through the left lung | and that he bled to death within about two minutes afterward was established by the large pool of blood that was seen near the black smith shop within q few feet of where he fell

RAW VEGETABLES
 AS WEIGHT PRODUCERS
The Very Satisfactory Experiment of
 Phoenix Man.

Care Sl<idmOre, a well known rail- road man has hit upon q way of re- dusing flesh without any weakening effects but, on the contrary with strength producing results. His regi- men consists of nothing but raw fruits; and vegetables. At the beginning of the heated season MT. Skidmore be- lieved he would pass the summer in greater comfort with less weight anu he entered upon diet consisting of nothing but raw carrots, onions cab bage, turnips and such other vegetables fruits as appealed to him.
 At first he could not eat enough to satisfy his hunger but in the course of two or three days he began to enjoy the diet and found it quite satisfac- tory. In exactly two weeks there was a reduction of tWentN-SeVen pounds his weight having been brought down pto 190. He is feeling better and strong CT than ever before and finds that he is able to undergo greater eXertion without fatigue.
 He Was asked if the same result of flesh reducing could not have been pro- duced by a diet of cooked vegetables He replied that that might be done fl one could survive the diet, but that the cooking process is so wasteful Ot the sustaining power of vegetables that one would have to eat more fre- Quently. Besides he said. that after one has entered well upon a diet of raw vegetables he soon comes to prefer them in that form.
 Raw carrots produce other beneficial results than that of reducing the weight They give the blood better tone and give a better complexion. There is now young women walk ing from New York to Chicago on q diet of raw vegetables and fruits. Her piece re resistance is a pineapple daily and her meals cost her 60 cents a day Although she is not only gaining strength but is reducing at the same time both surplus flesh and the high cost of living.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE course of
today's stock market was attended by
considerable irregularity and dullness
after the first hour Opening prices
showed many small gains and losses
the former predominating. but before
noon the tone became reactionary
with heaviness most marked in St
Paul
In the early afternoon, some spirit
was offered to standard shares which
resulted in short covering and a re-
turn of the general level to about last
nights close. This was again offset
in the final dealings by heaviness in
Union Pacific. Canadian Pacific and
Sugar issues, which sent prices back
to the low and resulted in a rather
heavy close.
Throughout the session various spe-
cialties We're most prominent for their
confused movements. The Canadian
group, including Wisconsin Central and
Duluth. South Shore and Atlantic,
was strong, as were also such indus
trials ats Studebaker Common and
Preferred and Bethlehem Steel Pre-
ferred. while yesterdays demand for
local fractions was continued at ad-
vancing prices. On the other hand.
American Tobacco, American Agricul-
tural Chemical were inclined to ease
off. Coppers, too. were heavy in ex-
pectation that the July report of the
Producers Association might show an
increase of supplies.
In addition to the st. Paul state
ment for June. which exhibited a net
decrease of SAL, 900. making the years
total net loss S2,922,000 few other
important railway systems submitted
June returns, that of Rock Island
showing a net gain of sS93.000, which.
however. found but slight reflection in
the movement of the shares.
London resumed operations after a
double holiday, ty moderate purchases
of the Changers in this market, first
showing some disposition at home to
take an opposite staHi.

The Pilgrims l2-=
Democratic Club 2.

TIE Pilgrims of Lewiston and the
Democratic Club of Augusta furnished
the afternoon ball game. the Pilgrims
winning, II To 2. The game was a good
one To watch for four innings, with a
3 to 2 score. The Pilgrims then began
TO pound Out the hits and runs to the
JOY OF their supporters and the disgust
of their opponents.
Sawyer, who was tried out by the
Boston American team, this year, did
some very pretty work for Lewiston
and was only touched for seven hits.
while Goodchild and Appleton, who re-
placed Goodchild in the seventh, were
banged for Il hits.
Hammond, in the seventh, made a
erandstand one-handed catch of a
high fly, out in center. Thyng was ON
first and sprinted for second. think
ing the hit out of Hammond's reach.
He seooted back at top speed and only
a wild throw gave him a life. which he
used to &C again TO second
Goodchild made great step in the
eighth of hot one and nailed his
man at first.
ThNng faced the pitcher four times,
hut has no at bat" record, going down
three times on balls and being init once.
The rugged hitting of the game be-
gan in the fifth. when the FIRST five
Pilgrims up each made hits, with three
scores and two earned runs Again in
the seventh, four consecutive hits, some
good baserunning and a base ON balls
sent in four runs.
"Baggy' Aliens umpiring failed to
suit the crowd on all occasions and the
crowd said so to "Baggy." In one par
heular case, where his decision was
about as near right as black is like
white, he felt obliged to pull his watch
until an objector ceased his somewhat
strenuous Directing. The contrast be-
tween his work and that of Jack Car
rigan, in the morning, was so pro-
nounced that it was announced that
Carrigan would umpire Wednesdays
game.
