Douglas Wins the Game

The fifth game of the Douglas-Juneau baseball series was played on the Douglas grounds last Sunday after noon ia the presence of a record crowd
 Juneau was reinforced by the ad ditiou of five new players, shipped an from below at great expense to the management, and came across the pond confident of their ability to win from their "hated rivals" as one of the Ju- neau dailies put it. Juneau's greatest acquisition was one Ben Hunt, of whom the Seattle Daily Times says:
 "Ben Hunt, the former Tacoma aud Sacramento sOuthpaw pitcher, IS hav- inR a hard time 6nding place to light. It was recently decided that Ben was the property of former Manager Wat kins. of Tacoma, who thus owned ball club consisting Of oue player. Watkins managed to sell him to Victoria, and Victoria succeeded in peddling him to Chattanooga. Now Chattanooga has shipped him back"
 We'll, Ben has landed. They have him over in Juneau. The Douglas stickers pounded him for twelve hits in eight innings, and then Ben hunted his hole and handed the ball to Denny Malloy. When Dennis walked up to the pitchers box the score stood 6 o6, Juneau had svehed the score in her half of the ninth inning, and Douglas had man on third base and no one out. Juneaa's hope of winning hung by slender thread and when Wood slammed ore out to right field, letting Kalal home, the string broke; score Y to 6 in favor of Douglas

The Eyes of Geniuses

FOR example, some years ago
1 a writer raised the question,
why do novelists usually give
their favorite characters gray or
blue eyes?" The answer to this
question involves the discovery
that most writers of note have
themselves been gray or blue-eyed
people. Emerson, Hawthorne,
Lowell, Carlyle, Milton, Swift,
Dickens, Scott. George Eliot, Lam
dor, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Ros-
setti-all of these, to mention only
a few from the long list, have had
blue or gray eyes. And in numer-
Gus instances their eyes have also
possessed an uncommonly clear
and penetrating quality.

preston. To be sure, the re-estab-
lishment of the old science of phys
iognomy on a thoroughly sound
basis is still largely matter of the
future; modern Psychologists and
psychologists have as yet made
merely a beginning in this respect.
But the beginning they have made
is so suggestive and important
that it is even now being turned 20
practical account in many ways.
1t may be emphatically asserted
that every organ of the human
face, properly studied and inter
preted, is capable of yielding valu-
able indications with regard to the
temperament, character, strength
and defects of the individual. Most
of all is this true of the eye. Long
extolled by poets and philosophers
as the mirror of the soul, the eye
is today conceded by all who have
studied it from strictly scientific
standpoint, to afford, in its shape,
position, muscular reactions, and
general condition, an almost in
credible wealth of information.
Even such a seemingly trivial mat
ter as its color has been found of
considerable Importance as an aid
in character reading.

of Gladstone, the Great Com
moner, were agate colored," ap-
preaching black; and Daniel Web
ster's eyes, which "flamed under
his superb brow even in old age"
were unmistakably black. But the
fact remains that for every man of
high intellectual power having
brown or black eyes it is easy to
name nine with eyes of blue or
gray.
A Word to Parents
ON the other hand, if blue, gray,
~ or grayish-blue eyes seem to
go with extraordinary mental
ability, it has been observed that
as a rule brown-eyed and black
eyed people are possessed of pro-
nounced emotional traits, being
ardent, impulsive, affectionate,
passionate.
We have here, it seems to me, a
hint of first-class Importance to
educators and parents. For the
facts just stated suggest that, in
the upbringing of a blue or gray
eyed child, care should be taken to
appeal with special force to the
emotional side of the child's being
so that he shall not grow up to be
an Intellectually superior but per-
haps cold, heartless and selfish
man. And, in the case of the
brown or black-eyed child, the
effort should primarily be to de-
velop the reasoning power and
power of the will, so that in later
life impulse and passion will be
less likely to govern the conduct.

REPUBLICANS ARE
SPLIT ON TARIFF

WASHINGTON. July 29.-Division
in the republican ranks over the re-
vision of the tariff became apparent
when nearly a dozen progressive re-
publican senator's began a series of
conferences to perfect substitute
schedules which will be offered to
the tariff bill under the leadership OF
Senators La Toilette and Cummins.
The progressive republican move
has grown out of the belief of the
leading senators identified with that
faction that they would be unable to
support Senator Smoot's substitute for
the woolen tariff.
The Smoot substitute was prepar-
ed some time ago and introduced at
the time the democratic tariff bill
came back from the senate finance
committee. The progressive republi-
cans have practically agreed to CEN
ter their fight about the La Toilette
substitute in the hope that they can
carry the remainder of the republicans
with them and possibly some demo-

Fire early this morning wiped out
half of Pendleton's Chinatown on AL
Ia street just west of Main and seri-
ously threatened for a time one of
the city's principal business blocks
Both of the wooden buildings Just
back of the Tallman Drug Store in
which were located a noodle parlor
and two Chinese stores were totally
destroyed and practically all of the
contents also.
But for the protection afforded by
the iron fire doors, the Thompson
block in which are located the Tall
man store and the Penland lodging
house would undoubtedly have been
greatly damaged. AS it was the
flames We're so close and so hot that
the window easements were burned
and other damage DONE but water
from the inside prevented a spread of
the fire.
The fire started about 1870 this
morning in the rear of the noodle
parlor The cause is not known but
is is supposed that it had its origin
in the kitchen of the Chinese restau
rant. The alarm was sounded and
the firemen responded quickly, but
the saving of the wooden buildings
was impossible as the flames had
gained rapid headway and had almost
enveloped the two buildings by the
time the first stream of water was
turned on. A considerable breeze
was blowing from the northwest, fan
n1ng the flames into a fury and
threatening to sweep 1t through ad-
joining buildings. Burning shingles
were carried for several blocks, many
alighting on buildings in the vicinity
of the Methodist church and there
was danger of other fires starting
from this cause
Six Lines of Hose.
Six streams were turned on to the
fire and adjacent buildings and for
a time there was fear lest the water
supply give out owing to the summer
shortage, but the pumps were set to
work and the pressure at the last was
just as good as in the beginning. The
row of wooden buildings just north
across the street, in which are other
Chinese stores, were threatened for
time but the wind was blowing
away from them and a little water
averted the spread in that direction.
The iron doors over the windows
of the Thompson block had been
closed but the fire soon warped the
one protecting the upper story win
dow and the easements were soon ig-
nited. Claude Penland secured
garden hose and from the inside
fought the encroaching flames He
succeeded in subduing them without
