Wala Walla, July 6.-Strand won

out triple when RAIDER missed a
throw from Nadeau to whom the
ball had been relayed from the out

Bridger started on the mole for
the Bears but in attempting to re-

in the fourth, he caught his foot under
the plate and wrenched his knee bad

field, Strand replacing him. The in

ring with draw awarded by Referee
Dick. A majority of the fans present
believed, after the mill, and are of the
same opinion now, that Downey was
entitled to a decision. 1t was a mill
deserving of a much larger crowd
of the faithful, for it was punctured
with scientific boxing and clever ex-
hibition of the art in clean breaks.
Jost proved to be fast and clever. He
was in the thickest of the fight at all
times and while he could not solve
Downey's left hook to the head and
face, he cut loose some nasty jabs
that had their effect.

Another Anti-Noise Crusade.

From the Cincinnati Tlmes-Star.
Most OF the numerous anti-nose cru
sades inaugurated at various times in
various cities have met with Indifferent
success, II with any success at all. Street
noises have shown no diminution either
in number or intensity because of these
sporadic efforts to suppress them.
But that hope which springs eternal
shows signs of resusc!tation now that it
is announced that congress is to be
held in August at Harvard University to
consider this noise question. to devise
ways and means and to inaugurate a
campaign on wide scale. No one knows
better than those who will attend this
encountered and how many obstacles
must be overcome. But the very fact that
they are nevertheless proceeding to the
task with courage undaunted augurs well
for some measure OF success.
An anti-noise crusade that will not peter
out without accomplishing much OF any
thing worth while must take the form of
an educational campaign. Since all citi-
zens contribute in varying degrees to the
sum total of city noises, each must he
taught to do his share in making that to-
tai considerably less than it Is today. It
Is the cooperation of the individual that
will count most I'm such a crusade as this,
and ii is going to be a large job TO per-
suade those individuals who are now re-
sponssble for most of the unnecessary
noise to cooperate at all. This campaign
of education is not going to be quickly
finished, unless the campaigners lose
heart and give up the task in hurry.

Coins the Mint Buys and Sells.


The mint does not buy old coins or pa
per money except certain rare colonial
coins in fine condition desired for the
mint's cabinet. Mutilated or uncurre:.t
United States gold and silver is pur-
chased as bullion. The mint has no pat
tern pieces for sale, and the government
pays no premium for the return of any of
it's coins or paper money.
New coins cannot be struck in this
country in the absence of authorization
by Congress. The mint supplies United
States coins only and not of any past
date. The fifty-dollar gold piece and the
half-dollar and quarter-dollar pieces in
gold were struck by private parties on
the Pacific coast during the 40 period
and not by the federal government
The coinage of the following coins
ceased in the years named: The half
cent copper, in 1857; one-cent nickel
1864; half-dime and three-cent, silver,
and two-cent. bronze. in 1873: twenty
cent silver, 1873; trade dollar, 1888: one
dollar and three-dollar. gold. and three

A MAP OF GRAVES.
Diagrams of Every Inch of Kansas
City Cemetery in Fireproof Vault.
ON the Kansas City Star.


|, How would you find the grave of one OF
your ancestors in an old cemetery if the
stone which marked it had disappeared
and the cemetery sexton could give you
only an indefinite idea of its location
The chances are you would never find it.
and if you wished to remark it with an
other stone or monument you would have
to guess at it's location and take the
chance of placing it above the grave of
some one else.
But in the modern cemetery there is
should the stone marking it disappear
and the mound above 1t sink until all
exterior traces of burial had passed
away. The method in up-to-date GENE
teries of recording burials obviates all
possibility of any error. Take, for in
stance, a Kansas City cemetery. Sew
eral plats of the cemetery drawn accu-
rately to a scale and printed on the
toughest of parchment paper are kept
in different fireproof vaults. Each time
a burial Is made a small oblong, eX-
actIy to scale, is drawn with India wa
terproof ink on each of these parchments.
This .oblong shows the exact location on
the plat of the grave, and in the center
the name of the person buried is printed
So accurate are these plats that the
boundaries of a grave can be located to
a fraction of an inch.
And that is not all. In the same vaults
are kept record books in which a brief
biography of each person buried is writ
ten. These books record the cause of
death. the date of birth and death, the
name of the physician who last attended,
the name of parents and grandparents and
many other facts. These books are al
ways available to relatives of the per-
sons buried in the cemetery.

BOYS AND GIRLS SOLD.
Child Market of Great Antiquity on
Shores Of Lake Constance.

From the. London Evening Standard.
There are not many tourists at
Friedrichshafen. on the Lake of Con-
stance, at Easter time, but a few. never
theless. who happened to be passing
through witnessed a strange scene in the
chief square, which resembled an Arab
slave market in Africa.
This was the yearly market of Tyrolese
children. One hundred and twenty five
boys and thirty girls between the ages
of eleven and sixteen. who had arrived
that morning in a special steamer under
the care of Roman Catholic priest were
standing huddled together in front of
the Golden Wheel Inn waiting to be sold
to the highest bidder for the season S

times feeling their biceps and then max

That the children are not always well
treated is proved by the fact that the
priest this year brought with him a black
list of a dozen farmers who are to get
no more children, but it is satisfactory at
least to find that there is some kind of
control exercised.
The whole business of the child mar

THE CHILDREN OF WAR.
Slavery, Deceit, Cruelty, Famine and
Pestilence.

From the New York Mail
War has had many children since the
world began. Some Of them are dead
now. but others are. alive. Wars hrst-
born was slavery. The savage who CON
duered his neighbor in the forest Killed
him as a matter of course, but he made
captives of his family and his dependents,
and these captives were slaves. By and
by It became SO profitable to hold slaves
that conquered men were not killed, but
spared for a fate worse than death. And
in the measure that war drove and spread
and became vaSter and more dreadful,
slavery spread and flourished. too. Ii
was but yesterday that we ended it in
America and it is not yet gone from the
earth Wars next child was pestilence.
She was hideous! But not SO h.deous as
slavery. She follows war like shadow.
With the wings of the vulture. she hovers
over the camp. Born on the battlefield.
she flies over all the world for that point
of vantage and her victims vastly out
number those of war itself. She is so
closely associated with her blood-stalned
parent that 1t is probable that II war
were no more on the earth there would
be no more pestilence as long as the
world endures. Then famine. This sis
ter came later than pestilence. and her
ravages have been more dreadful. In
this age and quarter OF the world we 90
not nave famine IN the sage SulS0 as tIldl
in which she visited the middle ages and
still visits Asia. Our people do not die
and rot upon the streets, as in Lucknow
or Marking. But famine stays longer with
us when she comes. She visits us in I'M
employment and adversely. She drags out
her curse over the years. The crust may
not be wanting: but the horrible waste
and charge of the ornaments, upon the
western world withhold from the mouths
of countless thousands the nourishing
food to which their hard toll entities
them. Famine. as the child of war, means
for us the untold billions that are sQuan-
dered on battlesh.ps which in a few years
are junk, to the robbery of legitimate in
dustry. Hatred between peoples. frat
ricidal enmity. is another child Of war.
This ugly sister of pestilence and famine
we have had with us many years in
America Even to this day, after half a
century, she waves her bloody shirt, in
the halls of Congress Then there is ar
rogance, which is wars legitimate Off
spring; and deceit, for all is fair in war,
and the student in the military academy
is taught first of all to fool the enemy
with all manner Of lies, the baser the
better. And arson and pillage-are they
not the children Of war that survive to
this day? Last of all, the ultimate breed
ing power of war has been we'll expressed
bv one who said: War is the father OF
more wars" Never was there a war that
did not leave it's offspring in hatreds that
had somehow to be worked out. The

The German Duel.
m the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The duel is something of a problem in
Germany now, with the question Of honor
II your honor is touched and you are an
officer you must give or take the chal-
lenge. To people who have renounced
il seems funny to put your honor on the
the trial by battle for nearly a century
chance of a pistol. which knows nothing
of the merits or defaults Of wife or
the turn Of the cards or the intimacies
of the private life. The decision would
probably be more absurd and less salts
factory than that of deputy registrar.
There is the limit of the duel, and the
protest from the benches OF the socialists
in the reichstag. They noted that the
imperial family was ASSOCIATED from
duels. The kaiser is in favor of duels
in other ranks of life, but you may no.
tice the abstention of the imperial fam
ily. If-as is rather unlikely-you are a
member of the imperial family you must
not accept or give a challenge. You are
too important to be risked.

Drunken Parliament.
DIN the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
There was a Scotch parliament once
which would not have cast second
glance at the temperance (Scotland) bill
which has just made its third appear.
ance in the house of commons. The hrst
parliament which met in Scotland AFTER
the restoration of Charles III had not
the least hankerings after temperance
reform 1t acquired the name Of The
Drunken Parliament" in fact. and lived
up to its reputation. Scott, In his Tales
Of Grandfather" gives evidence
when the Scottish parliament met the
members were in many instances under
the influence of wine. and they were
more than once obliged to adjourn be-
cause the royal commissioner (Middleton)
was too intoxicated to behave properly in
