Irby Hill VS. Church Street.

In one OF the fier> >st lcather-pill
struggles Of the present century the
tribe representing !rby Hill gently de-
vastated the congregation Of nine In
charge of the base ball reputation Of
Church street last Monday aftcrdinror
The game was short-only seven
hours and very ciose-fhcre being
80 notches for the Hill-climbnr8 AMI
81 notches for the Christians. OF
course the Church street boys would
have easily won but somehow the UNI
pire seemed just bit off on about sew
enty-five OF eighty decisions accord
ing to the losers. The boys from the
hills claim that they could easily have
made more scores butt? etc. No
record is given of the number of hits
put-outs or fights. The batteries ran
something like this--for the Noun
tainccrs: Tom Reed. Thorn Dunlar
and Toodie Albright; for the Church
goers: Grip Crisp and Skccter Bolt.

Terrible Condition In Prisons.
Vera Cruz. April 2s.-The miserable
condition of Americans and other for
eigners held at Cordoba is described
here today by persons arriving from
that place. Prisoners must sleep on
the stone tagging OF the jail patio and
are pre- dcd with insufficient food
and threatened every night with as
sassination by the drunken jailers.
ThG.r early release has been promised
Prisoners are herded like cattle and
jeered at almost continuously by the
keepers and Mexican inmates Of Jail
They are permitted to have food and
water only when the whim suits the
jailers and are kept in constant terror
by threats of death. Among them Is
young American woman with a four
months old baby. There are several
other women and children. The total
Of all nationalities is IS.
Mexcans Fall Back.
Huerta has abandoned any inten-
tiOns OF trying conclusions with the
Americans at Vera Cruz according to
reports brought by passengers arriv-
ing from beyond the American lines.
They said they saw General Mas, the
federal commander who evacuated
Vera Cruz making his way further in
land from Soledad. A large part ofshis
forces were engaged in the movement,
1t was said. American forces here per-
NIT almost all Mexicans to enter the
city and 1t is not improbable that any
Mexican officer could come here and
depart in safety. Americans here to-
day early awaited the arrival Of GEN.

After consideration of the rapid
strides amidst opposition made by the
Peoples Presbyterian Church since
it's organization. Sunday, June oath,
1906, to the present, The Presbytery of
Denver unanimously voted to have its
Fall Session at this Church. The mem
bership, perhaps less than $50, has a
fame in the Presbytery to be highly
sacrificing. The missionary zeal for
which the denomination is peculiarly
noted, on account of it's well-prepared
ministry and its wealth is evident in
the Daughter Congregation of Denver,
who is the Mother Church of the I'm
ion Presbyterian of Dearfield, Colo
Another item of fame is the musical
feature which seems to be speciali-
ty of the Pastor, the Rev. J. A. Thos-
HAZEL, S. T. B., who was appointed
Vice Moderator of the Presbytery last
Spring Mr.. Thos-Hazell is in his
sixth year as Pastor. He has brought
things to pass out of an apparent hope

bers united with the Church under
