DURANGO ENTERTAINED
CELEBRITY OVER NIGHT

The great grandson Of Johr Jacob
Astor, in company with his wife, was
guest at the Strater last night. Yes,
this old earth Of our tipped bit. The
sun does not often get a chance to
shine on members of the New York
400" in this neck of the woods and
when it does we count it red letter
day in our history. ConGdentially
we do not take the average visiting
celebrity seriously, but this is diff
ferent, here is man with family
tree whose roots extended back to
Adam without one crooked stick to
interfere with the direction of its
growth.
This man who made w all sit up
and take notice is N. V. Chanler,
known in the elevated circles in which
he moves as Sheriff Bob" Really he
looks the part of the stage hero and
doubtless il you resided on the sunrise
side of the Father of Waters you
might think he stepped out of the
Virginian. Long Of limb, shaggy of
head and picturesquely uncouth in ap-
pearance he bears little resemblance
to the typical New Yorker. However,
it may be that his skyscraper style
Of architecture is due to his geog-
raphy.
Feminine curiosity prompted all the
ladies to try to get a peep at the
woman who has big part in saying
what's the proper thing in little old
New York. We expected to see an
animated fashion plate. Instead we
gazed upon a little lady clcad in a
blue gown that had seen better days.
She wore a sweater which looked very
much like the kind Colorado women
wear when they go camping far from
the maddening crowds. She was not
particularly pretty but when we re-
membered that family tree we even
forgot that nature had endowed her
with hair that was a bright shade
Of auburn.
This morning in company with their
guides, the John Wetherills, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chanler went over to the Cliff
dwellings, where they will remain ten
days when they will again pay our
village brief visit.

BOSTON, Oct. Following a
night Of rain, which extended into the
early morning hours, the Giants and
Red Sox prepared today to play off
the second game, but the outlook was
dubious until 10 o'clock. Then the
sun shone brightly on the rain-drench-
cd grounds. The rain failed to damp
en- the spirits of a small number of
fans, who, sheltered by boxes, boards
and newspapers, kept their places at
the bleacher gates throughout the
night, despite the occasional down
pour.
One man who saw yesterdays game
said he had not been away from the
grounds in thirty-six hours.
Either because of rain or because
the novelty Of the worlds series base
bail games has worn off, the crowd TO-
Gay is smaller and gathered more
slowly than that of yesterday.
The two worlds series games thi1
yeai have set new total record. al
though the attendance at the game in
New York fell 5000 short of the fig
ures for last years opening game in
the same city, the total for the two
games of the present series is 1911
greater than for last years FIST two
contests. Last year $4,000 witnessed
the first two games; this yea over
10000 persons saw the first two
games.
The game began at O'Clock under
owering skies before crowd of 20,-
900 enthusiasts.
Marquard pitcned for New York,
and Buck O'Brien, who last year play
ed with the Denver, Colo, team, in
the box for Boston.
The Giants first came to bat and
raped out one run
The Red Sox could do nothing with
Marquard for five innings, not run
being made. The pitching was mag
nificent.
In the sixth the Giants added an
other run, the score at the first of
the seventh being to in favor of
New York.
The pitchers were doing great work
and not another run was scored until
the last Of the ninth when Boston
scored run and had man on third.
He was caught off the base there and
but for that there would have been
another tie for safe single followed.
However, the next two men were put
out, and the game ended to in ia

Sox as they returned to the Polo
grounds today with honors even, pre-
pared for the fourth game Of the
struggle for the worlds baseball
championship. 1t was not until noon
that positive announcement that the
game would be played was made.
The closeness Of the contest has ex-
cited unprecedented interest in the
outcome. The result is there is every
indication that given even measure

would be on hand.
There was none too long a rest for
any of the players, however, for their

car to another might begin to tell

When she burst in on him with her

chair IN which he had been lounging
while waiting for breakfast, he clapped
MS hands for the house boys; and,
while listening to her, he was buckling
on his cartridge belt and running the
mechanism Of his automatic pistol.

In response to the summons Of the

to arrive. by their glistening bodies

had run all the way.
Sheldon proceeded to arm Joan's sail

whaleboats. Noa Noah, aided by
Matapuu, was instructed to take
charge of the working gangs as fast
as they came in, to keep them amused,
and to guard against their being STAN

to follow Joan and Sheldon on foot.

the hope of the South Is to be found.
II Is inevitable tina. as Time goes on
the political problems which will con-
front tine Southern people Will be
mainly based upon Industrial and com
mcrcial considerations.
Their proper solution. as we'll as the
maintenance of Southern political
standards and conditions, depend up
ON the stimulating of sound and In
telllgent citizenship trained in proper
methods of thinking on Industrial,
financial anu social questions. The time
Is also at hand for quick and dcci-
siVe adoption of some such procedure
The industrial progress and commercial
advancement of the Southern States
within recent years has been maSnt-
icent but every thoughtful southern
cr sees the menace OF the forces which
have been Embossed and OF the condi-
lions which have been brought into
existence; he must realize, from tho
experience of other States where these
same forces and conditions have been
dominant, that the salvation Of the
South depends upon the development
of a political leadership versed In the
history and traditions Of the southern
States. and possessed OF sufficient
training and knowledge TO cope with
the problems OF the new South and to
adjust them to the ideals of the old
South ana <of the nation. The more
promptly the present state Of affairs
and their Significance lead TO action.
the more encouraging Will be the sit
uation both for the Southland and for
the nation as whole. Most of the
southern states have greatly improv-
cd their secondary schools and have
established and generously equipped
state institutions for higher cduca-
ton and for special training In ag-
riculturc and mechanical arts.
In order to make the path OF future
progress sure, and to reap tho full
measure OF her remarkable industrial
advancement. the South should ct the
present time lay stress upon the foun-
dation of schools Of commerce, admin
istratton. economics and politics. She
will thus give her industrial and conf
mercial development an Intelligent di
rcctton and bring II into accord with
her politial institutions and traditions.
The Situation In Virginia.
Among Southern States Virginia isI
unique in the facilities which are or.
fered to her young men for training
for business, citizenship and public
service. The friends and admirers of
William L Wilson have founded a
school of commerce, economics and
politics at Lexington as memorial tn
his services as statesman and edu-
Gator. y similar school has been cs-
tablished within recent years al the
University of Virginia. This depart
ment should have tho support OF all
business men and public spirited c!ti-
zens who are interested In seeing the
young men OF Virginia trained in
sound citizenship, and properly fitted
TO solve the commercial aud indus
trial problems OF the present and OF
coming years.
