Fans who delight in seeing the
 pellet slapped to all corners of
 the lot should have been at Rick
 wood yesterday to witness the
 final struggle between the BarOns and the Cleveland Indians. The
 game was a good One-despite the
 fact that the score was large. The
 count was 10 to ,.
 The Barons displayed their offensive strength for the first time of the year against a major league club. The boys pasted the ball hard and ten safe drives were corralled off the Indian twirlers Kid Caton, the diminutive shortstop of the Barons, led with the willow He drove out two doubles and a single and scored two markers.
 Karl Black and Arthur Johnson were hit hard throughout the bill Their offer ings seemed to be no puzzle to Lee Fohl s swatters and each of the IS safeties they registered helped to push counter across. In every inning where a safe wallop was registered by the Indians, a run or more was counted, and usually il was more.
 Karl Black lasted but three innings. He was touched for five safeties, includ- no better. He was tapped for eight bin- gles and besides issued four free trans porta tions

 The Indians, as on Monday, played jam up ball. They gave their hurlers fault less support, especially in the pinches and ran the bases senSationally.

~ more than par value of the gold
coin Of any country. It's exports have,
for number Of years, kept well ahead
Of It's imports. In recent year they
stood: Exports, 500 $4,000; Imports,
$5O,GGG0OO.
The combined acreage of the coun-
try is about 50,000000, Of which about
100000 acres Is devoted to grazing
and pasture land. a serious effort Is
being made by the state to reforest
part Of the land and rewards are
offered to private persons who plant
and care for trees on their land. The
government also appropriates large
sum annually for agricultural shows
In each Of the 10 departments or
states. The government hns given
100000 for buildings for the Rural
association Of Uruguay, which holds
an annual gathering at Montcvideo.
Europeans enjoy equal rights with
natives under the Uruguaynn laws,
but these laws are strictly enforced.
Owing to the low percentage OF pov-
erty and the prevailing temperance Of
the people, the percentage Of serious
crime is said to be below that Of ylr-
tually all other American countries.
w. II. KoGbel, one Of the wldest-known
authorities on South America, says:
"In the matter Of sobricty Uruguay
can easily allow points to almost any
other nation. Only small proportion
Of crime Is caused In Uruguay by
either dishonesty or drink" Uruguay
an laws dealing with corporations and
investments have been lcnicnt IN the
past, but movement has been under
way for same time to give private
capital fewer advantages, at the same
time extending state ownership and
control.
Education is compulsory and the
schools are under state supervision,
even to the normals and universities.
The voting age begins at twenty years,
only men being permitted to vote.
But the right of franchise is not so
freely or rashly given as In this coun.
try. The would-be voter must pass a
literacy test before he is permitted
to register.

and all would be selected by congress,
whose powers would be greatly cur
tailed under the proposed rule.
Its Climate and People.
Gifted with the nearest to an ideal
climate to be found in the western
world, Uruguay has done much to dc
velop It's natural resources and to
make life congeninl for its people. The
average temperature for the summer
is only 70 degrees and for winter is
90 degrees. AS n result Of the highly
favorable climate the physical char
acterlstics Of the Uruguayan people
are remarkable. They are taller, finer
set-up and have clearer compilations
than any Of the other South American
peoples. There Is less Of the Indian
In them, too, than in any Of the other
dwellers on the southern continent.
The country has fairly complete sys-
tenn Of railroads, three Of which are
guaranteed by the governmcnt-thati is,
q certain net income Is assured to
them each year. The country is going
in for good roads very rapidly and
macadamlzed roads extend for about
forty miles outside Of MontevideO, the
capital and chief city.
AS Uruguay has made efforts to at
tract substantial type Of immigra-
ton, the population Is Of diverse ORR
gin. At present the Spanish and Ital-
ians predominatc, Spanish being the
language of the country. There are
several Swiss and German colonies,
however. The immigrants are closely
scanned, for tho country wants none
that will swell its low rate Of pauper-
ism. At one time the Uruguayan gov
ernment offered to immigrants not
only free land, but the means to pur-
chase the needed farm stock and i'm
plemcnts. However the increase in
population has been so marked Of late
years that no extra inducements are
now offered to new settlers.
Women Are Beautiful.
The Uruguayan women are said to
be more beautiful even than the wom-
en- Of Chile. They are more democrat
&c, more inclined to the new order of
things than the women in most Latin
