FRANKLIN TEAM
LOCAL FIVE SHOWS VERY MUCH
IMPROVED FORM IN THE
GAME.
SHOW Efficient COACHING
WhatIey and Armstrong Star for the
Locals, While King and Capt. Par
ker Are Stellar Performers for the
Visitors-Score 20 to %.


If you don't believe that it was a
scrap, ask anyone who was there and
they will tell you that the late JEFF
fries-Johnson set-to was tame affair
Not until the last few minutes were
there more than one or two points
etween the two teams. The close
ness Of the game kept the crowd on
the uneasy seat from whistle to whis-
tie, and there was not a dull moment
the entire length Of the game.
The local crowd was slightly infe-
rior in size and weight but they more
than made up for it in speed and
gameness. Both of the fives were bad
ly handicapped by the smallness of
the floor, which broke up all effective
passing This caused the game to be
more or less rough, with the empha-
sis on the former. The referees
whistle varied in frequency with the
cheers of the Institute girls, which
put the shrillness of good train
whistle to shame. They never let up
in their whoops and cheers for the
local crowd.
AS for the stars of the game, 1t
would be hard to choose the men who
did the best work. For Columbia,
Whatley, the center, and Armstrong,
the left forward, shone with all the
brilliance of veterans of the game,
and kept the B. G. A. guards follow
ing them like leeches. The former
threw six goals and six fouls, total
of eighteen points, a pretty good
nights work. Armstrong also played
a pretty game. Of the Battle Ground
five, Parker and King played the best
games. While playing guard Parker
ran up and threw four goals. He
also guarded his man we'll on the de-
fensive. King got three goals and
three fouls. The latters great
strength gave him a great advantage
over his weaker opponent.
The coaching of Capt. Erwin during
the past week showed decisively in
the work of his men, who displayed
great Improvement in their work over
that exhibited in their last game.
With another weeks practice they
should be able to win good majority
of their games. The quintette never
let up in their playing, fact that is
unusual in a green team.
The line up Of the teams was as
follows:
C. NJ. A. Position B. G. A.
Armstrong ........ ...... Shannon
Forward
Riley ...... ..... Britain, Walden
Forward
Whatley, Capt. -. -. -. E. King
Center
Gibson ...... ....... Parker, Capt.

Burns Sustained By Miss
Ada DebOlt
Life Was Saved By Action
Of Her Young Sister

Miss Ada DeDolt, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Debolt of Rogers
street, had very narrow escape from
burning to death Wednesday and had
it not been for the timely assistance
of nine-year.old sister she would
no doubt have lost her life. Miss De-
bolt had been quite i'll with tonsilitis
for some days and was quite weak as
result of the sickness. Wednesday
evening she walked to the stove to get
some water Just as she reached the
stove she lost consciousness and fell.
She struck her forehead on the stove
and the gas flame set fire to her hair.
Just at this time the younger sister
came into the room and with rare
presence of mind secured bucket of
water and poured it over her sisters
hair which was blazing. Miss Debolt
was severely burned about the fore
head and head and she susntained a
deep cash on her forehead when she
fell against the stove. A surgeon was
called to dress the injuries.

During the week of April 29 to May
2, inclusive, there will be on display
at the Fourth ward school building an
exhibition of pictures of more than
ordinary interest. 1t consists of car
bon photographs and engravings
loaned by the A. w. Blson CO., of
Boston, Mass, and contains only the
very best representation of the mas
terpieces of art of different countries
and different periods.
The exhibition is to be presented in
this city for the purpose of increasing
the interest in the study of art and
for the purpose of raising money for
the purchase of pictures for the
schools. A small admission fee will
be charged, and the public is cordially
invited to visit the exhibition. Nearly
every art gallery in the world has to be
visited in order to see the originals
CT these pictures, which, although
copies. are some of the very best in
existence.
The collection which will be on dis
play here comprises some two hundred
subjects, representing all of the prin-
cipal schools of art, as well as repro
ductions of the worlds greatest pieces
of sculpture, architecture and import.
ant views from nature. In connection
with the exhibition a catalogue has
been prepared which gives number
of important facts concerning the pic
lures and their painters, and these
will be on sale during the exhibition.

CHILDREN MUST PLAY.
That 10 the Method Mature Provided
For Their pevelopment.

That 10 the Method Nature Provided
For Their Development.
"And the streets of the city shall be
full of boys and girls playing in the
streets thereof" Thus spoke Zecharlah
in $40 B. @. But there were fewer
mOtorcars In zechariah's day than
there are in ours. The children now
need for their play some place safer
than the street
More important than the playground,
however, is the play. 1t is well that
children should play In safe place,
but 1t is absolutely necessary that they
should play somewhere If they are TO
grow up at all. for there Is no doubt
now, think, in the minds OF educa-
tors that play builds the child. 1t Ia
the method that nature has provided
for his development Play, indeed, is
the positive side of the whole phe.
nomenon of infancy.
The reason the higher animals-and
man, above all-are born so helpless
and Uniformed is that they may be
finisLkd by this special method. 1t is
for the sake OF play that infancy ex-
lists; that there Ia such thing as a
child at all. The child who is depriv-
ed of his chance to play is deprived
Of his opportunity to grow up Crafts

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Different Methods on Which Arc and

Different Methods on Which Arc and
.ncandeseent Lamps Work.
The arc light and the incandescent
light work on totally different pTin-
ciples. 1t was noted many years ago
that when an electric circuit was
broken the current jumped across a
slight gap, producing brilliant flame
The shape OF his fame was roughly
an are from one conductor to the other.
Thus the word "arc" was adopted, All
arc lamps burn in the air and not in
vacuum. The light is produced by the
current leaping across q small air gap
between the two electrodes, or carbon
pencils, ana heating the tips of the
carbons white hot. Floating particles
OF white hot carbon also add to the
brilliancy. \ mechanism is necessary
to feed" in the carbons as fast as they
burn away, or otherwise the gap would
increase until the current could not
jump across and the light would go
out.
The incandescent lamp, common in
most homes and office buildings, is OBJ
tained from piece of white hot wire,
heated by the passage OF an electric
current. The wire must be inclosed In
a glass bulb from which the air has
been exhausted, otherwise 1t would
quickly be burned up and consumed
The wire tilament is now made OF
tungsten, which resists the flow of cleo
tricity with so much vigor that the
current in working to get by the OBJ

descence, hence the name.-New York
