C0URTSHiP IN SPAIN.
A Difficult Business In Which Speak.
ina Tubes Play Part.


In Spain, as is well known, a rigorous
etiquette governs the business of love-
making. A young man cannot inter-
view his sweetheart without her par
ents' consent. and indeed all converse.
ton openly carried on between the
couple must be in the presence of the
fair ones mother.
Many subterfuges are adopted by the
lovers to overcome this difficulty, and
the "reja"-the ornamental ironwork on
the windows of Spanish houses-has
become one of the favorite trysting
places. Modern life, however, has i'm
posed fresh barriers. If young mans
sweetheart lives on the third floo- of a
city building he cannot very well meet
her at the 'reja."
In this as In other spheres of life
necessity is the mother of invention.

speaking tubes to their assistance. The

overheard by the people on the inter
vening flats. ms would be the case IL the

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Good Butter Comes in Slowly and Price
Remains Well Up.

Boston, Sept. ls-The local market
for butter, cheese and eggs presents
no special change from the conditions
of late last week. Receipts OF fine fresh
butter continue none too large for wants
and since storage butter is not offered
with any freedom, the market keeps
pretty firm on the best table stock.
The lower grades, however, are plenty
enough and dealers are not letting slight
differences over prices stand in the way
of sales. The movement of cheese con-
tinues rather sluggish and dealers find
ii pretty hard to obtain the prices they
ask. Hennery eggs are still short and
very firm and good gathered eggs also
command firm prices, since they, too,
are in light supply.

closed. The games will open on Oct. 7
and continue until the l4th of the
month. The gate receipts are to be
| divided. 60 per cent. to the winners and
40 per cent. to the losers.

the Boston fans were most DESTROYS of

on in order that a eliot of blood at the

hit several times on the head with
pitched balls. His many friends hope
that the operation will prove complete
and satisfactory.
DOME Bush, the diminutive shortstop
of the Tigers, enjoys the distinction of
drawing eight passes in fourteen times
to the plate on single day.
In comparisons Of players on the New
York Nationals and the Red Sox teams
all city papers are unanimous in voic-
ing Larry Gardner to be the superior
OF Buck Herzog at the third corner.
Gardner covers more ground than any
third sacker in the business and is a
top-notch hitter.
Mike Donlin, who has been playing
ball this past season with the Boston
Braves, is TO join George Evans Honey
Boy" Ministries at the end Of the base
ball schedule. He will act as inter-
loeutor.
AT Carlisle Jim Thorpe's appearance
in the lineup is a great inspiration
to the team Thorpe has been punting
with distance and accuracy lately and
blended with his great speed has in
st1lled plenty of life into its practice.
To Boston fans, Pitcher VanDyke's
initial appearance in Red Sox uniform
was satisfactory. VanDyke was se-
cured from the Worcester club OF the
New England league, where he accom-
plished wonders for the Worcester club
in the past few seasons. He will have
an opportunity to display his class be
fore the worlds series is opened.
When the Giants meet the Red Sox
in the worlds series assuming that
both clubs will win in their respective
leaguesl McGraw will have the choice of
three programs for drawing up his men
for battle. He will use Mathewson, Tes-

Tesreau and Mathewson alternately, or
use Tesreau, Mathewson, Marquard and

Eppa Rixey, the Southern Rose and
star pitcher of the Doom club, is going
back to the university of Virginia this

HOW THE EARTH DRIED.
And Why the Drying Up Process 10
Constantly Going On.


When water is decomposed by radium
Or by ultra violet rays it produces hy-
drogen and peroxide of hydrogen. and
it does not form oxygen. Electrolytic
decomposition forms oxygen.
A German investigator bases n new
theory relating to the drying of the
earth on the fact that one form of de-
composition produces oxygen. while
the other form does not. Part of the
water vapor emitted by the seas is de-
composed by the ultra violet rays Of
the sun. The hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmospheric STRATA,
and all the water does not return to-
the surface. Therefore the quantity,
of water on the face of the globe is all
ways diminishing. and the earth is In
cessantly. if gradually. drying.
To cite one example: On the north
side of the Alps occur a continual
falling off In the depth of the lakes
and a gradual formation of swamps.l
Two hundred and fifty years ago there
were 149 lakes in the canton of Zu-
rich. Today there are seventy-six.I
The destruction of the forests and the
cultivation of the land partially ex-
plain this, but the loss of hydrogen is
an important factor. The hydrogen
accumulated In the higher atmosphere
is diffused in interstellar space.-Har-

ONE DOSE MAKES
INDIGESTION GO
Heartburn, Gas, Dyspepsia and All Stom-
ach Distress Ended With "Pape's
Diapepsin."

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad--or an uncertain
one-or harmful ne-your stomach is
too valuable; you mustn't injure it with
drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed
in giving relief; its harmlessness; it's
certain, unfailing action in regulating
sick, sour, gassy stomaehs. Its millions
OF cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gas
tritis and other stomach trouble have
made it famous the world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get large

then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; if what
they eat lays like lead, ferments and
sours and forms gas; causes headache,
dizziness and nausea; eructa tions of acid
and undigested food-remember as soon
as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress van
ishes. It's promptness, certainty and
ease in overcoming the worst stomach
disorders is a revelation to those who
try it.

REPORTED THE WEDDING.
The Dramatic Critic Got tho Job and
Did the Best He Could.


In the absence of the regular society
reporter the dramatic critic Of the
Daily Doings was detailed to cover a
wedding. "I'll do the best / can," he
said, .'but l feel sure shall make q
mess of it,"
This is what he turned in, emitting
the preliminary remarks about the size
of the house and the delay In begin
ming the performance:
Mr.. Barker, in the role of the BRIDE
groom, acted the part in a stiff yet
listless manner. He has a good stage
presence, but mars the effect by a tot
tai lack of animation and an almost
inaudible voice. Miss Perkins, as tho
bride, was much more effective. Her
costume was bewildering. yet true to
life. If one may venture to criticise,
her effort to overcome her obvious
stage fright was trife too evident
She was in good voice, however, and
her enunciation was clear and distinct.
ut must be pointed out that both
Miss Perkins and Mr.. Barker were del
ficient In their lines and had to be
prompted almost constantly by the
Rev. Henry Harper. who, as the offit
ciating clergyman. was decidedly the

Thaekeray's Favorite Books.

In her introduction to the Round
about Papers" in the centenary edition
of Thackeray. Lady Richie speaks of
her fathers favorite books. Thackeray
had an old Montague, which he al
ways kept on the table by his bed. He
had a second copy, still older, bound in
white vellum, on the book shelves in
his study. Lady Richie cannot re
member that he had any particular
feeling for special editions. He used
a cheap, battered old Boswell with dou'
BILE columns, the companion with
whom, as he said, he could have been
quite content to dwell for a year upon
that problematical desert island. He
loved his Don Quixote.' he also liked
his shabby. worm eaten copy of john
sons poets They had been to India
and back. and bookworms are very
common out there" Millions sonnet

Lady Richie adds. one Of the last
things Thackeray ever read.

MONEY BACK
CATARRH
REMEDY

Dosing the stomach won't kill eatarrh
germs. Neither will sprays, douches,
snuffs or ointments.
The quickest way to kill germs is to
breathe deep into the lungs the vapor-
ized air of Booths HY0MEI.
As this antiseptic air passes over the
sore spots infested with catarrh germs.
it not only destroys them. but heals
the infamed membrane and stops the
discharge of mucus.
Then hawking, splitting, snufiing, crusts
in the nose and foul breath will disap-
pear, and vile, disgusting catarrh will
be conquered.

Mayor Objects to the Questions
Asked In Cunan Inquiry
CURRAN SUES THE MAYOR
Wants $4,000 Damages for Alleged
Libel-"Stool Pigeons" Were
Used in Gunmen's
Arrest,

New York, Sept. $50. Mayor
Gaynor in letter to Corporation
Counsel Watson yesterday attacked
the Curran committee, which is investi-
eating the police department for the al
dermen, and which resumes its hear
ings to-day. Unless the aldermen
change their method of procedure the
Mayor instructs Mr. Watso, to see that
objection is registered to the sort OF
questions asked.
Charges may possibly grow out Of
the secret inquiry that was continued
to-day before Justice Golf in the GRIM
inal branch OF the supreme court to
determine whether the police suppressed
evidence, in the form of letters, when
Gyp the Blood Horowitz and Lefty Louie
Rosenberg were captured.
1t was through the use of stool
pigeons that New Yorks detective
bureau captured "Gyp the Blood and
Lefty Louie, according to state
made made to-day by Detective Myers,
who was the leading worker in the
chase after these gunner indicted for
the murder OF Herman Rosenthal. 1t
is understood that Detective Myers
made the same statement when he was
called before Justice COTS John Doe in
quiry earlier in the day.
Two men and a woman .spied on
friends of 'Gyp" and Lefty, Myers
said, and learned their whereabouts. The
men were well known gangsters and
the woman has reputation bad enough
to admit her to the inner circles of
gangland. The three were well reward
ed for their work 1t is rumored that
all have committed crimes and have not
been punished for them.
The detective bureau, it is reported,
has evidence enough to convict all three
of various crimes, but as a reward they
are not to be prosecuted. The detec
tives will not give out the names Of
the stodd pigeons. If the gangsters
learned who had betrayed "Gyp" and
Louie" the spies would not live twelve
hours.

pected $4,000 Protestants will formally
warn the government of their determine
ton never to acknowledge an Irish Par
lament, to obey its laws, or to pay
taxes which it may impose Other meet
ings will follow elsewhere throughout
the north.
That the demonstrations viii result
in widespread disorders is considered
more than likely. In anticipation OF
trouble at Enniskillen, the authorities
took stringent precautions to-day. A
big force of police will be on duty and
troops will be held in readiness to rein
force the police at moments notice.
That the demonstration will not be
mere irresponsible affairs may be judged
from the fact that among those who will
participate prominently in them are
such men as the dukes of Devonshire
and Abercorn, the marquises of Lon
donderry and Salisbury, Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, Lord Hugh Cecil, and
ex Solicitor General Sir Edward Carson.
The government has threat tened all
these leaders with prosecution il they
do not moderate their activities. To
these threats the leaders have replied by
boldly inviting the government to pros
eeute and watch the explosion that viii
follow.
