CUBS LOOSE TWICE.
HOPE DYING FAST
Double Dose of Defeat by
Lowly Braves Killing
Blow.

Boston, Mass. Sept. 13.-what little
pennant hope lowered over the camp
of the cubs dwindled down almost to a
dying gasp Yesterday, when the lowly
Boston trailers licked the Chicago as
pirants twice in a double header. They
took the first game with ridiculous
ease. to o. and the second with dis
gusting luck, to I.
It was the old story OF weak bat
terry work that caused the downfall of
the cubs. Offensive prowess was
lacking in the first game. and even
with perfect pitching and catching the
cubs couldn't have scored a victory.
for It was they got nary run.
Three Cub twirlers, Toney. Reulbach
and Madden. had a hand in the job In
the first game. and they were opposed
by the veteran southpaw. otto Hess.
Hess had one of his good days and a
lot OF dandy luck. and just breezed
through. He was hit on the thumb in
batting in the eighth inning and had
to give up the Job to Hub Perdue to
finish for him.

after the baby they had brought 1t
along. 1t cried Justify all through the

Curious Ceremonial OF Taking Child

The adoption dance is one OF the
ceremonial dances OF the Shawnees.
This is quite different from any one

many miles around and camp. Their
faces are painted and their persons
decorated with beads.
They dance all day and night with
out eating. A bonfire Is built In the
center OF the camp. and they dance
around this. The fire is kept burning
about the same all the time. This
serves also as their light.

DYNAMITE ACCIDENTS.
Some of the Stuff May Remain After q
Charge Is Exploded.

Charge Is Exploded.
''It is generally supposed that when
a charge of dynamite has exploded it
is all over-that the entire charge has
been consumed" said a hard rock"
man who has worked in mines. in river
tunnels and other places where high
explosives are used. This superstition.
however. is not correct" he continued.
Sometimes particles of dynamite will
be blown out with the broken rock.
Then il becomes a menace to the work
men. 1t is a favorite practice OF men
who are waiting or resting to sit on a
pile of muck as the broken rock is
called. and to jab into it with a pick
or a candlestick or some other steel
thing. much the same as a Yankee will
white while he talks or thinks If
the steel strikes one of these bits of
dynamite that has not gone off. be-
cause the glycerin in 1t has started to
run or because a fragment of it has
been crystallized. there will be an ex-
plosion. The chances are that not one
of the group of men sitting around will
escape INJURY
Another frequent cause of acct
dents is that sometimes when the dy-
Mantle explodes and tears out the rock
a small quantity of it will be left in
the bottom of the drill hole, unaffected
by the shock. If the drill hole that re-
mains happens to be pointed in the
right direction a lazy drill runner Is
likely to take advantage of it and start
his new hole in the old one in order to
make a record or save time. The in
slant his drill commences to thud on
the unexploded dynamite 1t goes of
The steel is driven back through the
barrel of the machine. wrecking it and
usually killing the drill runner. This
explains many mysterious deaths that
have been attributed to missed shots 4"

The stranger in any city half hun

many of the business signs that the

A Londoner who had strolled about

in this respect New York was very like

any such sign as he saw in one of the

JUDGE SLOAN
 REAPPO|NTED
He Will Arrive in Phoenix Next Wednesday and Be gin to Get Things in Readiness for the October Term

4 private telegram received yester- day morning from Judge Sloan an nounced his recess appointment as fed eral iu.!ge of this district and stat'1 that he had qualified and would arrive
 in Phoenix next Wednesday to get ready for the october term.
 This was the eventuality of the case that had been generally expected in spite of the rumors that President Taft was about to give up the fight and withdraw the nomination of Judge Sloan.
 Judge Sloan has been watching the course of events in Washington since early last April when the fight against him became increased in bitterness and he went to the capital to answer in person the charges which had been lodged against him with the senate ju- dietary committee.
 A large mass of business accumu- lated in the court. More than a hund- red criminal cases were left over from the last term in the course of which three United States judges presided each for a short time and since then hundreds of other cases have been ent- cred for the October term.
