Moreover, he is the only eagle, with folded wings on an American coin with the exception of the bird on the ten dollar gold piece Bird sharps have been mortified to hear the eagle described as a dove of peace on a mountain top.

With diamonds retaining their usual high quality and exceptional value, what op- portunity is more rare than a bona fide twenty per cent. reduction in all diamond jewelry excepting single stone rings.
 The distinct beauty; the ex- acting workmanship and the especial care in the selection of Fairchild Diamonds would seem to preclude the possi- bility of any material reduc- ton; - facts which merely accentuate the desirability of making immediate pur- ,hases.
 Our windows carry several suggestions in beautiful brooches, fancy rings. pins, and miscellaneous diamond iewelry; convincing evid- ence of the wonderful values within.

opened last evening with victory
for Frank Anderson's team over
Harry Johnson's outfit.

the final (fifth) inning was ushered
in, and things looked dark for the
Andersons. Harrison Green, first up,
rolled one of Porteous' offerings over
into the next block for a homero The
next two were easy outs. Then came
the massacre. Weber singled, Healy
got life on an error, Capt. Ander-
son tripled, Ensign doubled, and Hurd
and Carolan singled, and Green, up
for the second time, brought in the
7th and final run of the inning. The
Johnson's were unable to score in
their half, and the final tally was II
to in favor of Anderson's bunch.
Anderson's pitchers were Hurd,
Anderson, Weber, Green and Carolan.
Johnson's selection for mound duty
was Nelson, Allard, Krauth, Johnson
and Porteous.
There seems to be considerable
mystery concerning the choice of UNI
pire for last evenings affair. The
league moguls, after exacting an en-
phatic promise for the services of DR..
Fortune in this capacity, completely
ignored the doctor when he arrived
there last evening all dressed up in
his umpire uniform and everything.
Without so much as glance at their
appointee, they handed the indicator
to Duly Smith, and the game went
merrily on, with the Father of the
League mere spectator secluded in
the bleachers. 1t certainly looks like
foul play, and famous sleuths are now
working quietly on the case.
