Putumayo inuians,
NORTON L"

The Indians of the Putumayo dis
trict of Peru, whose brutal abuse by
the rubber companies has aroused
the world, are described in recent
issue of Folklore by Capt. r. w.
Whiffen, who apparently lived among
them before they were subjected to
the white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
a pretty hard lot themselves. For
example, they kill the second twin
at birth, and the mother always
browns a sickly or deformed child.
They kill their prisoners and eat
them. In fact they were still in the
stone age when Captain Whlffen
studied them, and, contrary to the
opinion of Doctor Martin, had never
been any higher in the evolutionary
scale. Their only social function was
a sort OF dance, to which the partici.
pants and audience were summoned
by the beating Of drums so loud that
1t could be heard for a distance of
eight or ten miles. One of the curl
Gus customs described by the captain
was their method OF using tobacco.
The leaf was made into a "treac1ay
decoction" and this was licked cere.
monially" by friends in the tribal
palaver, and also as a sort OF binder
like an oath--in making con.
tract.

SCRIPT OF MAD "EMPEROR"
Relic Presented to San Francisco Mu-
scum a Reminder of the Early
Days Of That City.

The old days Of San Francisco-that
period about twenty years ago when
the 'Guttersnipe," "Topsy-Turvey,"
"The Great Unknown" and other ia
nous street characters were daily
sights in the city-are recalled wildly
by donation made last week to the
Golden Gate Park Memorial museum.
Chris w. Smith gave the museum a
piece OF script issued by the far-famed
Emperor" Norton, the millionaire pio-
neer, whose reason went with the loss
Of his money by unwise speculation.
1t was in the late seventies that
emperor Norton held forth in all his
glory. He had come to California in
1849, had endured all the hardships Of
that early date, and retired to San
Francisco when his wealth had
reached the million mark. He was
not violently insane, simply possessed
OF the halluclnation that this was one
vast empire, over which he ruled, and
that those whom he daily passed on
the streets were his humble subjects.
The piece Of script presented to the
Park museum is perhaps the only relic
OF one habit OF Emperor" Norton.
Striding into store or into a place Of
liquid refreshment, the emperor"
would, in a dignified manner order
whatsoever he wished. In payment he
would give piece OF script such as
that received by the museum, OF may.
hap personal check. More than once,
say the old-timers, a $4,000 check was
given in payment for a small glass of
mineral water.
Emperor" Norton's script is printed
on blank piece of paper slightly
larger than bank note, and worded
as follows:
"The Imperial Government Of EN-
peror Norton / promises to pay holder
hereof the sum OF ten dollars in the
year 1880, with interest at five per
cent. per annum from date, the prin-
cipal and interest to be converted at
the option of the holder at maturity
into twenty-year five per cent bonds,
or payable in gold coin. Given under
our royal hand and seal this goth day
Of March, 1879.
"(signed.) NORTON L"

THE BEST THING
IN AMERICA"

Some enthusiast, writing about
the worlds series ball games, calls
baseball 1.-The most perfect thing in
America" He goes on to compare
il with the Olympic games of the
ancient Greeks which were factor
in developing that superb race.
One reason why the Greeks were
such perfect gymnasts was that
every detail Of athletic effort had
been worked out to final result.
Today the average man knows
baseball better than grammar. If
q previously fast team slumps, it
loses half its gate receipts. A suc-
cessful major league team can COM
mand unlimited money to organize
the game according to the most
scientific efficiency.
When the young lady across
the way" attends one Of the his
toric battles between the New
York and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, it is to her mostly the effort
Of 1.-THE young athletes to knock
little ball over a distant fence
which they mostly fail to do. Base
ball today, however, is far more in
tricate than mere hitting, running
and catching.
1t is system of organizing nine
men to do all things by signals
with precision like some swift
and complicated machine.
The heat of a horse race is strung
out over two minutes and odd sec
onds. A play at baseball takes
place while man covers the dis
tance between two bases, about
four seconds at best. And under
meath all surface play, there is the.
mysterious sense IF hidden and
astute strategy. 1hlS eXcltes IN
definitely the curiosity and admir-
alton of the spectator.
The Olympic games had their
share in moulding the LIE of
Greece. Su baseball, itself a pro
lection" Of the national temporal
ment reacts upon Anercian char
acter. 1t places a high premium
on cool self command, the capac-
ity for doing things with untroub-
led serenity under high nervous
strain. 1t helps the sentiment for
fair play. Few spectators sanction
a decision that is manifestly wrong,
even though in favor of the home
team.

All of the teachers of the various
schools reported and Superintendent
zemer expressed satisfaction that ev.
erything started nicely and that all is
in readiness for very successfuIyear
for the schools of the city.
1t was impossible to determine the
exact total enrolment of the schools.
In the high school the work of classi.
flying the students and getting them
settled to their respective places oc-
cupied practically all the time Tues.
day and no effort was made to secure
an exact count. There is every indl.
cation of larger enrolment in the
grades and there is, beyond all doubt,
a marked increase in the number of
high school students over last year.

Took Two Games From The
Eagles On Monday

On Monday morning a farcical game
was staged at Riverside park between
the Y. NJ. c. A. team of the Saturday
afternoon league and the Eagles. Con
trary to expectations the Eagles did
not win or even come close. In fact
the Y. M c. A. lads played rings
around them The score was II to 0
after the slaughter was called to a
close at the end of the nine innings.
The youngsters scored two In the first
round. They scored one in the fourth
and two in the fifth. 1t was in the
sixth that they cut loose and tried to
run away with the game They were
successful and scored six more runs
The Eagles used four pitchers and
none of them were effective. Norrick
had his older adyersaries at his mercy
excellently throughout the game.
The game Monday afternoon be-
tween the Y. NJ c. A. and Eagles was
closer and much more interesting
than the morning contest. The Y. M,
c. A. took the second game by a
score Of to 9. From the start to the
very finish 1t was ball game and
the victory was liable to shift to eth.
er team at any moment but the
younger lads held steady and the
Eagles could not surmount their lead.
Tanner pitched very good ball for the
Eagles while Cromley pitched winning
ball for the Y NJ C. A. The runaway
made by the city league team in the
morning kept the crowd down much
lower than would have been the case
had there been a good ball game in
the morning.
