titled closely with the fight game, re-

things, including a very listless mill,

two men engaged.
Wells used left iab to make him
self practically impregnable. He
stuck the mitt out in front of him
and kept Charles at distance. Elk
cept for a few flashes, Charles didn't |
seem to care very much whether he |
got past that pesky left or not.
He fought generally IistIess bat
tie, seeming to have little interest in
the result. 1t may be that his recent |
attack of stomadh trouble had some
thing to do with this, but before en-
tering the ring White declared he
was in good condition. z
Throughout Whites record fights
like that of last night are literally
studded Every now and then he
must get slow battle out of his sys-
tenn, and so fare he has been lucky
enough to meet light punchers when
one of these lackadaisical evenings
was due.
In the first round Wells drew blood
from Whites mouth, and in the
fourth Charlie retaliated by bloody
ing Mats nose. That was all the
damage done.

that Yale only considered Harvard

lots of smaller colleges, against
which loud roars would be registered
if ineligible men represented the

however.
Once more we are wised to the fact
that peace is a certainty in baseball
and will be consummated in two

Somehow or other we can't help
remembering last winter, when nego-
tiations we're also in the hands of
skilled diplomats, and the Federal
league magnates, after disclosing
their plans to the organized people,
were given soaring double cross.
If any negotiations are on-and
people who know about them are not

Probably no kindlter soul breathes
than that OF Franks keeper. The

was living a life OF luxury.
1t was because Mangumi had treated
Frank humanity and kindly, like he
treats everyone. Frank is not chained

there are no carpets on the floor OF
his death cell and his bed is no softer

Great tears rolled down his cheeks

the trap.

to the scaffold arm in arm and the
sheriff hanged his friend.
Deputies who guard Frank day and

have learned to sympathize and adj

1t will be a dread day for jail Of

or a species doubtful. 1t is believed
the insect was brought to the white
house in the! tobacco OF cigarette
smokers. although experts Of the. bu-
reau OF entomology of the department
Of agriculture gave 1t as their opinion.
after the insect had been described to
them over. the telephone, that It was .
Idermestes beetle.
For months servants around the
white house were mystitied by the pc
culiar behavior Of the chairs and sofas
in the bedroom, but kept the mystery
to themselves. The cushions on these
chairs and sofas appeared to be vic
Tins of a cure for obesity.
Week after week they seemed to
grow hatter in appearance. The stun
ing Of the cushions was disappearing,
Ealthough never sign was there as to
where It was going. There was not q
break in the velvet on top or in the
burlap beneath. ".
AS the mystery grew. embarrass-
ments accumulated, for visitors, some
of them rather distinguished, would
insist on sitting down on the chairs
and sinking further than they had cal
culated on doing. The president HIM
self is said to have sat down recently
on one OF the sofas. and to have Inn
mediately taken to his feet again with
the panied expression Of one who ehad
been deceived.
That, it is said, decided the servants
that something more radical was need
ed. A local furniture dealer was sent
for, and teh mystery laid before him.
With the air Of man who was wise,
he tore open one end OF the cushions,
and, sure enough, there was Mr.. Bug.

marked the furniture man, Though
he's called the cigarette bug"
The bug was cornercd and will be
sent tofthe bureau Of entomology. The
furniture went to the furniture mans
establishment for new cushions: But
still remaining to be solved Is the
question:
Whose cigarettes were responsible

HAS EXPO. EXHIBIT .IIB+.IT
Plant In Full Operation Is
Shown To Visitors AT
Frisco's Fair.

There are few more noval and in.
structive exhibits at the Panama,
Pacific Exposition now in progress in
San Francisco than that OF the Con
solidation Coal Company. The COM
pany, under the direction of Presi.
dent Jere H. Wheelwright, has fitted
up in the mining exhibits complete
study. of the production Of soft coal,
SO that any observer may see at q
glance how this work is carried on
under ground.
The main exhibits represents the
interior of one of the. comoany's
mines in the Elkhorn field IN Ken
lucky. This has been reproduced ex-
actly as nature made it. The seams
Of coal as they appear in the actual
mine are depicted. miners with their
picks and lights are shown digging
the coal and the electric tramway
which brings the coal from the mine
to the surface appears in full opera
ton.
It is, perhaps, the first time a
scene of. this kind has ever been at
tempted so far from the base Of oper.
atoms, and the officials Of the com
pany are somewhat proud of the &C,
hieVement. They have had photo
graphs made Of this miniature mine,
which will be kept among the com
pany's archives in this city.
72sAnother Exhibit is two huge blocks
Of soft coal--one Weighing 1000
pounds and the other 1O,000%pounds.
The first illustrates the per- capita
production Of soft coalfin this coun-
try in the Centennial year-187 20
while the other shows to what an ex.
tent it has grown UP to this time, and
represents present. per capita pro
ductfon.
Other exhibits show the various
kinds Of coal the company mines and
the uses for which each is best adapt
ed. These are domestic coal, smith,
ing coal, Industrial coal and gas coal.
There are several pamphlets at
each OF the exhibits showing the quail:

explaining the sections from which
each cones and why it is best for the

WHO INCREASED
PRICE OF PORK?
Housewives just Can't Stick for Pay
ing % Cents for ''Piggie"
Meat.

Who boosted the price of pork?
That is one of the questions that is
bothering housewives since pork chops
went up TO 25 cents a pound. The
question they are worrying about.
however. is not so much who boosted
the price, as when will it come down
again?
Retailers are optimistic in their ex-
plantations of what caused the price
to jump. They fatty assert they don't
know anything about it. 1t is asserted
however, by one dealer that the waste
in trimming pork is so great that they
have to pay 2 cents a pound or not
break even. Scarcity of hogs" they
said when asked the cause OF the
rise.
The price of pork has fiuctuated all
summer. but % cents a pound Is the
high water mark. Housewives nave
scratched pork off the list of reason
able foods guaranteed to reduce both
the high cost OF living and the cost
of high living.
