SUICIDES AFTER ARREST
STORE

Fear Of persecution after his arrest
for stealing SIS worth of merchandise
from the Boston Store, where he
worked as a f1oorwalker, is believed
to have caused VIM. Collins of 1904
S. Aberdeen to suicide last night in
his cell at the detective bureau.
Collins took poison a short time
after he was taken into custody
when the Boston Store spy service
accused him Of picking up small arr
ticles from the store counters

Liebold has temporarily displaced
Eldred in right field and is making

little fellow would have confidence.
He is aggressive and competent.
In the practice games Eddie CT
cote has been making a vigorous bid
for a regular pitching berth and is at
least assured Of the job of first res

breaking deceptively and he was al
ways strong on control. In addition
to these attributes, Cicotte possesses
a colossal nerve and a wise head.
These should be qualifications
enough for any one pitcher.
Ted Jourdan, first baseman, is to
be shifted to the second team, where
he will work regularly with Kid Glea-
sons squad. This means the West
ern Lacquer will be first relief to
Chick Gandil in case the latter is out
of the game. JOurdan has hit con-
sistently when used and his fielding
is improving. He can learn a lot with
Gleason.

A pitching duel between George No

double steal engineered by Hank
Shanks and Joe Judge, and a slaugh-
ter of Nick Cullop and Slim Love,
marked the ending of the Yankee
series and the home stay OF the Grlff-
men. The double victory. / to and
10 to /, meant that the home boys had
won sixteen out OF their last twenty
two contests.
The FIRST game was a brilliant pitch
ing exhibition by Shaw and MogridEe,
neither yielding a thing. In the
eighth Judge got on by forcing Shaw,
Peck's bad peg let Shanks live and
Judge reach third. Then Shanks

FIERCE FIST FIGHT.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Presldent
John X. Tener is expected to issue
notices OF indefinite suspensions to
Casey Stengel, the Brooklyn outfieId-
er, and Art Fletcher, the Giants
shortstop, in punishment for their
dIssraceful fight at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. They may also be fined
heavily.
In sliding into second IN the sec
ond game of the doubleheader, STEM
gels spikes cut Fletcher's trousers
above the right knee. Stengel was
safe.
But Fletcher. losing his head, de-
liberately raised his right foot on
high, and with all his weight came
down with his sharp steel on the
PROSTATE legs OF StengeL A second
afterward it looked as IL a cage Of
wildcats had been turned loose among
a family OF leopards.
Stengel sprang up, swinging with
both hands, about as dexterously as
an open-faced watch. Fletcher kick
ed a him as he came, but landed
high. Umpire Harrison trieu 10 crowd

quarters poured athletes OF the rival
camps. Fists flew through the air.
There was jostling and pushing.

was a good stunt yesterday and
called TO the attention OF the fans
that he is there.
Judge pulled a bad charley horse
about ten days ago. At that time he
was beginning 10 paste the ball all
over the lot. He laid OF a while and
then came back strong. In the last
fifteen games Judge has batted 400,
getting twenty-three hits out Of fifty
times up.
In the last twenty-five battles
Judge has hit for .3sG, which shows
that he has gotten fairly started.
Judge has banged out thirty-two hits
in twenty-three games and has
totaled forty-seven bases He has
stolen six bags and scored sixteen
runs. And that's regular baseball
playing.

The second long home stay has
ended. The Grifis have won sixteen
and lost six games, quite the best
record in several seasons. The pres

strongest the Old Fox has presented
this year.
The Yankees are now but two and

Tt has always been understood hitherto that the state of war oper- atcs complete severance of all rela- tions between the bclhgcrcnts except that of pure force. This is the ox- planation of the common practice. fol- lowed universally in the present war, whereby the belligerents deal with each other through the intervention of neutral powers. The present meeting is, it is suggested, without precedent in the history of international law. It's importance does not end there It almost seems as if we are at last becoming emancipatcd from the chains of the old fashioned diplomacy, which almost deliberately made it impossi ble for belligerents fairly and square ly to talk out their causes of friction face to face. The new departure is one from which much may be hoped in other directions"

 And it is mainly upon the women of the land that tho duty of saving rests.

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De. licate, Nervous, Rundown People POO Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks
 Time in Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.,-Most people
 foolishly seem to think they are going
 to get renewed health and strength
 from some stimulating medicine, se-
 cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
 Dr. Sauer, specialist who has studied
 widely both in this country and Eu .
 rope, when, as a matter of fact, real
 and true strength can only come from
 the food you eat. But people often
 fail to get the strength out Of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they
 know something is wrong, but they cont tell what, so they generally com me1ce doctoring for stomach liver or 1 kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of | iron in the blood. This thing may go
 on for years, while the patient suffers l untold agony. If you are not strong l or well, you owe it to yourself to make 1 the following test. See how long you | can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two 1 five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated
 iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. 1 have seen dozens of nervous rundown peo- pie who were ailng all the while. double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of
 all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen

days time simply by taking iron in the proper forms, and this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simpy to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuXated Son if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply be- cause he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray while many another has gone down to inSiorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.
 Note.-NuAated Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer, is ono of the newer organic iron compounds. Un- like the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assmlated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, rundown conditions. The Manufacturers have such great confl- dence in NuXated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under GO who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks time pro- vidcd they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days time.
