HURON COLLEGE

University Team Defeats
South Dakota Institution
is Listless Game

In a ~listless and uninteresting game
the university basketball team yes
terday afternoon defeated Huron coll
lege, AZ to IL The first half was an
exceptionally poor exhibition of the
indoor sport, but the teams came
back stronger in the last period and
played better ball.
The university players did not get
in their good work until the latter
part of the game, and had it no been
for the hopeless condition of their
opponents. the kind Of game they
played would have defeated them.
During the last part of the game,
however. they showed the excellent
team work they r capable of. Dur
ing that period the Huron men were
hopelessly o%utclassed. The teams
lined up as follows:

per cent of the receipts from the

PLAYED IN BUSH LEAGUES
FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS and
HAS BAT RECORD OF .339

Any fan willing to pure oNer base
ball statistics for years back would
be able to find many curious things,
such as unusual records. This is pra-
ticularly true in the records of the
minors. In the major league if IL
player makes a great batting record
year after year, like those of Wagner,
Lajoie, Cobb and others, the records
ure reprinted time and again or al
most every time the great batter gets
into the limelight. Not SO with the
minor leagues. which nave their great
batters whose records arc almost for
gotten year by year. One wonders
why these players never get into the
big league. However, they usually
lack other requisites. For instance,
take the batting record OF Harry
Meek. who is now playing in the
Northwestern league, lie has been
got GU of the minors. He has a
grand batting average of .339. For
seventeen years he has been a bushcr

lRISH-BRITisH TUNNEL.

It is proposed to join Ireland and Scotland with submerged iron tube railway between the two countries. A Chicago engineer suggests that a tube containing double railway track could be constructed between Black Head and Port Patrick for $30 ,000, ,000. This tube would have q length of twenty miles. It would not be drilled through the rock beneath the water owing to the expense and also to the engineering difficulties which would be created by the mid-channel depres- sion known as Beaufort's Dike, but from the effect of wind and wave, and would be supported securely. It is no new thing to tunnel mountains for trains or run them under rivers and bays. The proposed tube would be trif1ing undertaking in engineer ing and expense when compared with the Panama Canal, the New York Aqueduct, or the Eundred million dol lar terminals of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads Such a submarine railroad would be good fo: both Ireland and Great Britain. It would promote a closer communica- tion with an1 more intimate nOwl

Livingston, who is known all over the world by his designation, "A-No. l." has beat the railroads and steamship companies out of thousands of dollars in fares.

Livingston says his trips have covered "a million miles" He has been located in Erie for the past four months. Livingston's mar riage today was a great event.

PERUVIAN EXPLORERS TRAGIC
 AL REPORT.

Captain J. c. Beasley, of the Eng fish army, with three companions who left New York last summer on an exploration expadition, returned to that city few days ago with most tragical report of their journey. They started out to explore the uncharted districts of the Peruvian Andes and the headwaters of the Amazon. At Lima they left eight of the original party of twelve, who, from fever or fear of the perils of fthe trip, halted. In the savage wilds fthe Andes they found the bones of two men and camp \utensils, which pCptain Beasley claims belonged to the Amer ican O'Higgins and the Seljan expe- dition, although no scientific society or newspaper ediotors seem to have been able to recall such an expedi
 ton. Captain Beasley reports that his party found Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas discovered by Professor Bingham of Yale. The ex- plorers say they had d terrible time going the length of the Amazon on a raft, in getting through the rapids and whirlpools, and in escaping the poisoned arrows of the savage In- dians who constantly attacked them. There are difficulties everywhere in the material and spiritual world, deadly .fevers impossible forests, savage enemies. and. treacherous riv- CTS. They say these can be over

Cause of the Roman Empire.

The reason "why the Roman empire succeeded the republic" was that there was felt to be an urgent need of strong central power. For many years the republic had been desolated, and the cry of the whole people was for peace-peace at almost any price. Now, peace could be secured only by the ascendancy of d single man. rul- ing with absolute and irresistible sway. So tine people acquiesced in the change They even hailed it with joy. A few patriots like Brutus and Cato gave up in despair, but most men were pleased with the revolution which made Caesar supreme-nOt that they were monarchistic at heart. but that after the devastating strife they want. ed peace, even though it be at the sac .,ifice of some of their liberties.-St. Louis Times

Japanese Fashions.

A Japanese woman of fashion Is by no means drain on her husbands finances. The cost of her wearing ap. parel is very small indeed when con- pared to her sister of the 0ccident. She wears $l3.SO worth of clothing un- der her h:mono. the latter costing about $25. The obi costs another $25. Numerous tying paraphernalia sum up to $l7.25, and set of footwear amounts to about $9. Combs and hair pins ornamented with gems cost $245. a shawl $50. a diamond neck clasp $15O. a tot;i of a little more than $9OO for season. This is a very modest outlay when compared to the enor- nous cost of apparel for the woman of fashion in New York and Paris New York Sun.
