All Around Champion Wins Fierce
Handball Match in "Met" Tourney,
Opponent Defying Pneumonia.

The continuation Of the metropolitan
handball championship yesterday at the
court of the Annuncation A.C. furnished
some thrilling sport to the followers OF
the ancient pastime. A battle royal sud
denly injected itself into the tourney when
Dan Shea, the metropolitan all-around
champion, and Pat Ryan. both OF the Pas
time A.C., faced each other in the frs,
round
From the instant the first ace was tossed
the match was a smssher, the men being
clever and evenly matched, a fact which
accounted for rallies of exceptional length
sometimes as many as Fifteen exchanges
being hit before the necessary ace was
scored. After the score stood one game
apiece Ryan peeled off ais shirt and played
the last game nude from the waist up.
By that time the walls, roofs, fire
escapes and windows were crowded with
men, women and children, aud they ap-
plauded the tussle, which was easily visi-
BILE as the court is an open one. The
cracking of the service balls and returns
could be heard blocks away, but Shea
who eXcelled ut knacky cross court shots
and low "butting" kills, won BY the score
of 16-21, 21-16, el-15.
The most one-sided match of the day
was that between II. Doherty, OF the New
York A.C., and l.. Garlach. of the st

MEMORIES CLING TO CHAPEL
Old House Of Worship in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, Worthy Of Rev
erent Attention.

The chapel in Sante Fe, N. NJ, is
one Of the oldest in the United States,
and is fraught with quaint, old-time
legends, interviewer with tales Of the
padres trials with the Indians in
days long past. To enter, one rings
large, Old-time bell. which clangs
out harshly. An aged man appears
in answer to this summons, and leads
the way into the dim, whitewashed
chapel. Great wooden beams bear tes-
timony to the sOlidity OF building in
those days. one bearing the date ITO,
this being the date of its restoration
after having been badly wrecked by
the Indians, who preferred their
Great Spirit" to the white mans re-
ligion. and too-Ofiicious padres. On
both sides of the affairs are ancient
paintings, faded now and worn, but
one may decipher on one the date,
"12S7." This church also has a huge
old bell, said to have been cast in
Spain, the tones of which are clear
and very loud. The adobe walls, at
least four feet in thickness, bear evil
dence Of the time when even the
churches must be so constructed as
to stop the flight Of arrows and bull
lets. San Miguel carries one from the
present into the far-off past, when
roads were trails and danger was
near.

Condor's Method of kIITinu.

Up among the cold white peaks of
the Andes, higher than human foot
has had the daring to tread, is some
times seen a dark speck slowly cir
cling in the clear air. The epeck
gradually descends, and we see that
1t is the largest bird Of the air, the
condor. Its flight is swifter than the
eagles Nothing but the distance
could have made the condor Of the
Andes seem small and slow on the
wing. Swiftly descending, cruel, hun
cry. he fastens his eye upon some
luckless lamb or kid. Rarely 1t is able
to escape; successful resistance is I'M
possible.
The condor cannot carry or its
prey in its talons, like the eagle, for
1t has not the eagles power of grasp.
and the sharpness of it's claws Is in
time worn off on the hard rocks which
are its home: so, standing on the
struggling animal with one foot, the
condor kills the poor thing with its
powerful beak and his other foot.

GLORY BELONGS TO PIONEER
Man Recognized az the First to Do
Things Is Sure Of Recognition
Of Posterity.

Adams glory was in being the first
woman. They have been talked of
through all the centuries for nothing
except that they were the first to live,
the first to be tempted and the first
to fall.
And so It is with many other per-
sons and events that find their places
in history. Always 1t is the begin
niDgs Of things that shed glory on the
participants. Christopher Columbus
has just been honored again because
he was the first to discover America,
and the landing of the Pilgrims Is
celebrated because they were the FIRST
to COLOMBO Massachusetts. Harvard
rejoices in being the first institution
of learning in what is now the United
States and having set up the first
printing press. The first settlers OF
any community are always persons of
prime interest, and the first man to
wear pantalOons or carry an umbrella,
II he were living today, could coin
money by putting himself on !eIhi-
bition.
II one wants to be remembered one
has only to pick out the spot where
a great city Is to be built, or connect
himself with an industry that Is
bound to grow, or do something that
is bound to become the fashion. He
is at once immortalized. Generation
after generation will speak his name
and on anniversary occasions orators
will sound his praise. He may be in
dividually no greater than thousands
who have come after, but the glory
of having been the first will be upon
him forever and day.-Columbu

BOLIVIA SOURCE OF COCAINE
eovth American Country Produces
Supply Of Anesthetie That Fills
Recognized Place In World.

The most profitable agricultural
product Of Bolivia is the coca plant,
from which the a0esthet1c cocaine
is derived. The world depends mainly
for its supplies of coca leaves upon
that South American country.
The Bolivian natives commonly
chew II for It's narcotic effect. Ii en-
ables the Indian burden bearer to go
without food for long time. and to
work long stretches without rest. Un-
fortunately, its continued use is in
furious to the nervous system, and
is supposed to have much to do with
the degeneration OF the native race
of the Bolivian plateau.
The coca plant is shrub three or
four feet high. Its leaves are of an
oval shape and light green. The
shrub Is grown on terraces built on
the hillsldes. These terraces are about
ten inches wide and are protected by
ramparts of earth faced with stones
or cement. The terracing prevents
the heavy rains from washing the
whole plantation down the mountain
side, and also holds the moisture
about the roots Of the plant.
Young shoots are grown under a
cover of dried banana leaves, and
when sufficiently advanced are trans
planted to the terraces. The plants
begin bearing when two years old.
After the leaves are picked they are
dried in the sun on q floor made of
slabs of slate. They are then pressed
into bales weighing fifty pounds each.
and wrapped in banana leaves and
burlap to protect them against wealth
er and rough handling, and carried
to La Paz by mules. In La Paz they
are at present worth Al cents gold
per pound.
Bolivia manufactures no cocaine
The leaves are exported to other
countries for the extraction of that
active principle.

Tried to Blow Up Fire Engine

The Charles Town Advocate saws
that some miscreant, jus who it was
nooody knows, though an earnest
quest is being made to identify him.
tried to blow up the fire engine of the
independent Fire Company SUNDAY
night last. While a number of mem.
oers of the Independent Company were
attending church services some one en-.
tered the engine room, evidently using
a key belonging to some member, and
fired up the boiler. AT the same time
he safety valve on the engine was so
manipulated that the boiler would have
Exploded but for the timely return Of
members who had gone to church. The
engine room is kept locked in the ab-
Sence of members, and admission can
be effected only by the use of a key
which nearly every member has in his
possession. The attempted outrage has
excited much Indignation among
bremen, for had the effort succeeded
the explosion would have wrecked the
apparatus and the fremen'S building,
besides endangering the lives of peo-
ole in the vicinity of the building. The
own authorities and the fire company
are each offering a reward of ten dol.
airs for evidence that will lead TO the
conviction of the person guilty of the
rhine.
