RAILROAD OFFICIALS
HONOR J, J, HILL
Seventy-fourth Birthday An
niversary Is Celebrated
with Much Eclat.
(National News Association

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 16.-Seldom
if ever before in her history has st.
Paul entertained at one time so many
noted figures from the world of fl
nance, industry and railroads as gath
cred here today to attend the compli-
mentary banquet to James ]. Hill, the
way. The banquet marks the seventy
fourth birthday anniversary of Mr..
Hill and his retirement from the active
management of the affairs of the great
railroad system with which he has
gridironed the Northwest and which
has been perhaps the leading factor in
the development of the northern coun-
try stretching from the Twin Cities to
the Pacific coast.
James ]. Hill was born on a farm
near Guelph, Ont, Sept. 16, 1888, Of
Scotch-Irish parents. His fathers
death when he was IA years of age
made it necessary for him to go to
work as a clerk in the village store.
Wnero, II is Sdlu, HIS llTSt wage was
but 81 a week.
In 1856 he set out for California, but
within the year found himself on the
steamboat docks at st. Paul, where he
obtained employment as a shipping
clerk. He thus became identified up
on his first arrival in the Northwest
with transportation there, and he also
from the first manifested the keenest
interest in all that pertained to COM
merce and agriculture.
After serving two years as general
manager, Mr.. Hill became president
of the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Man
itoba Railway in 1883 and continued
as such until 1891. He was chosen
president of the Great Northern Rail
way, Sept. II, 1889. In 1907 he gave
up the presidency and became chair
man of the board of directors. Last
June he severed the last link connect
ing him with active railroad work by
retiring from his position as head OF
the board of directors of the Great
Northern.

Two Investigations.
1nere Will De TWO Investigations or
the tragedy. One will be an inquest
to determine the manner of death and
make formal report The other in

hands of the government
The accident occurred after the boat
had been rowed some distance into the
lake. A northwest wind sprang up
and Negus turned and strove vainly
to reach the shore.
The wind freshened to a gale and
the inexperienced lads became seasick
and practically helpless at the oars.
Negus tried to reach the training sta

ed his course to reach the lake bluff
pier. Three hundred feet from shore
he threw out an anchor hoping TO hold
the boat off the beach where the
waves were carrying it. II capsized
and the crew tumbled into the wa
ter. Many of the boys could not swim.

David Garriek's Ways.

David Garrick was Celt and Anglo.

MOTION OF THE EARTH.
It May Easily Be Demonstrated by q
Simple Method,

Simple Method.
1t is quite possible to prove that the
earth revolves on its axis by a simple
experiment and without having re-
course to mathematics. Take good
and place it upon the floor Of a room
which is not exposed to shaking or
jarring from the street
Sprinkle over the surface of the wa
ter coating of lycopodium powder. a
white substance which can be bought
at almost any drug store. Then upon
the surface of this coating of powder
make with. powdered charcoal a
straight black line. say. an inch or two
inches in length and lying north and
south.
Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the sur
face of the contents of the bowl. lay
down upon the floor a stick or some
other straight object. so that it shall
be exactly parallel with the mark.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a
few hours and then notice the position
of the black mark with reference to
the object that it was parallel with.
1t will be found to have shifted its d.
rection and to have moved from east
to west-that is to say. in direction
opposite to tina. Of the movement of
the earth on its axis.
The earth in simply revolving has
carried the water and everything else
in the bowl around with 1t. but the
powder on the surface has been left
behind a little. The line will always
be found to have moved from east to
west, which is good proof that every
thing else has moved the other way.

VARlEGATED SPELLING.

Mark Twain Liked It Because 1t Wss
SO Refreshing.
Writing in the Hartford Courant ON
shark Twain" DR.. Edwin P. Parker
of Hartford said:
I'm 1876, according to my memoran
dun, a notable spelling match took
place at the Asylum Hill Congrega-
tional church, in which some thirty
persons. under their respective cap
tains. took part. Among these con-
testants were DR.. Burton. Judge Car
penter. Charles E. Perkins. Mr.. Glenn
ems. Mr.. Twichell. Charles II. CLARK.
General Hawley, Miss Trumbull. Miss
Blythe. Miss Burbank and Miss Stone.
At last there were left standing only
Dr. Burton and Miss Stone. and the
gallant doctor took the first oppor-
tunity to make an error and so to
leave Miss Stone the winner.
But this notable contest was pre-
ceded by a preliminary speech in
the supposed necessity Of having any
uniform and arbitrary way of spelling
words. Among several amusing illus
trations of his argument was one as
follows: 4 have a correspondent whose
letters are always a refreshment to
me. there is such a breezy, unfettered
originality about his photography. He
always spells Kow with a large *.
Now. that is just as good as to spell
1t in the conventional way with a
small one. 1t is better. for it sug-
gests to the mind a new, grand and
Impressive creature
Nevertheless. in the contest that
ensued Mr.. Clemens produced no 'su-
perb effects of yarigated spelling bur
stood up among the last Eve. IL my
record is right. only Mr. Clark. Miss
Keep. DIR. Burton and Miss Stone out

WIN ONE AND TIE

Belts struck out ten men in the first
game, pitching masterful ball. He had
clean support. The negroes made
their two runs in the third inning
Mclaughlin clearing a high one to
left field for three sacks, scoring two
men, but was out himself trying to
only scoring for them in the first game
although they were on bases several
times.
Four hits and some boneheaded
playing by the Plutos resulted in the
locals getting three runs in the sixth
inning, but in the seventh a triple

Powell tripled and tried to come
home on Martins safe bunt, but was
out at home. Martin tried to stretch
the bunt into a two Dagger and was
out at second.
Three more runs were added in the
eighth by the locals, Supp scoring on
a three Dagger and wild throw. Hits
by Belts and Turner aided by the visi
tors errors netted the two other tai
lies.
Richmond played air tight, and with
out an error.
The Second Game.
In the second game the Plutos got
run in the third on two successive
hots after two were down. In the
eighth they got their other run on g
three Dagger followed by neat single

wild to second to catch a man stealing

other run was made in a peculiar
manner. Feldhaus walked and was ad

balk, after Feldhaus had almost stol

Boil was out third base to first.
Gillian, the pitcher for the negroe.
in the last game, was hard to handle
and had he been given support, would
have defeated the locals. Vordenbers

man up, his usual style. Gillian strucl

FIRE ON THE CARMANlA
Saloon Quarters Destroyed IN
Dock-Sailing Cancelled.

Liverpool. June "A serious fire broke
ont I'm the Cunard steamer Carmania'
living at her dock, this afternoon.
The liner had a narrow escape from
total destruction. The flames lowered
above the bridge and smoke poured from
overv aperture amidships. At one time
vo,umes of smoke arose from six differ
ont ponts. so rapidly did the flames
work from cabin to cabin. Several tugs
came to the assistance OF the nremeh'
and on much water was poured into the
,osoel that she listed heavily and was
nreyented from capsizing only by tile
strength of her moorings. Much appre-
borsion was caused by report that the
carmania had one thousand barrels OF
oil aboard.
The whole dining and reception salons
and n great portion of the superstruct /
ure were destroyed before the fire was
extinguished. Repairs will probably oc'
cupy a couple of months.
The hull was not injured, but a large
quantity of cargo aboard has probably
been badly damaged by water. The
origin of the fire is not known.
