Papa DI played the game of his life on the bench, He was tired from his trip down to the capital, and he made up his mind to Nis brawny warriors from a sunny seat nh, did 1t wo woll that In the third 1nning he took a hold on the game, it seemed, that you couldn’t have broken with a sledge hammer. Littl Moxear had atood up before the as- waults of the section hands like Bonaparte at Lodl, and twice only, In the first five in- nings, had they mauled the ball beyond the reach of one ¢ the Rourkes. In the same time we had five large runs salted down, It had the ear marks of a shut out, and Papa’s oyes shone like a eouple of brass door knoba through the warm, bland air. He was happy, and se wan the crowd, and so were all the little Rourkes, A veritable nimbus gleamed about each one of thelr mugs, In the sixth Paddy Boyle scratched i third hit. A wild and untutored pitch bowied him along ninety foet further, and clasping MeVey's single around the neck he rode home with another run. That made a half dozen. In the Farmers’ half Wood lammed the alr until {t was black in the face, and it looked Iike another horse-collar for the coun- try boys WHEN out THE HICKEYS OPENED. But right here an unseen trouble began. Boxey got out his can opener and ripped the 1id off a box of bum plays. First he ran his knee against Hughes' grounder. Then his foot kicked it out of his hand, and Hughes was safe. Biff! The crowd rubbed thelr eyes. ner Dovereaux had made a hit, Buck Ebright popped up a high ona. Dolan got under it and caught it securely around the throat when it descended. hat was good. But Boxy's error was fatal. Speer hit safely to right and John L. Sullivan followed with a crack that sounded like dropping a water melon into a wall. It netted two bags and three runs. That made Buck's face glow like the bottom of tin pan. Again in the seventh there were troublous times, and after two clodhoppers had turned up their toes to the daisies at that. Jasper Johnson drove one into right for a bag. Wood sent one down to Fear. It caromed from off his shins like a brick would glance from Buck's cheek. Hughes hit a hard one. It mounted the air and Paddy Boyle dashed up against the barn after it. He only combed it with his finger tips, and Jasper was home, Wood on third and Hughes on second. Devereaux leaned against a curve. It was good for two sacks, and Wood and Hughes rattled over the pan, with a flerce happiness wrinkling their faces like a rag carpet. v The score was tied. Those who saw the fight will never forget It. There was so much desperate stubborn- ness and reckless daring in it. The two struggling bands waved back and forward, forward and back. It was anybody's fight until the last inning, when the Rourkes made a final rally and came on with a rush. The onslaught was resistless, The Farmers broke and took to tall grass hefore the fear- ful attack. Then came panic and a full retreat and head and front of the routed agriculturists, who tore from the fleld of carnage, was the hump-backed form of Buck Ebright. ~ He came on plumed and belted, but went off lookirg as if he had gone through a sausage machine. Bverybody saved the day. Billy Moran opened up with a love of a swat, Pigg’s blun- dor saved Fear's life and Wood's did a like turn for Pedroes. Then Buck got In one and became so lurld that McKelvey hoisted him out of the game. Lookabaugh took his place, but that was all he took, for with Jasper's ‘miscue, Scery's double, Munyun's base on balls and McVey's fourth safe drive, five vans were scored and the. victory was ours.

WEALTH IN, BASE METALS o COurious Facts Abont Commen and Un- common HMinaral Produota. QUICKSILVER INTEREST IN AMERICA Coppor and Lead—Now Uses for Aluminum ~The Only Pure Iron—American Tin'Nickel and Platinom. The contemplated removal of the tariff on Quicksilver will ruin the industry of mining for that substance in this country, says the Washington correspondent of the Globe- Democrat. It is a pity, too, for apart from its commercial value a certain picturesque Interest attaches to the metal. Its fuidity at ordinary temperatures Is one thing that makes it remarkable, One can hardly realizo that when reduced by ecold to a solld 1t 15 very malleable and can be beaten Into sheets as thin as tissue paper. Deposits of quicksilver have been discov- ered recently In Utah, but nobody has tried to work them as yet. The entire product of this country comes from California. Cinna- bar, the ore from which it is obtained, is a sulphide of meroury. By heat the mercury is separated from the sulphur in the form of a gas, which, being condensed, runs out of the distilling furnace in a thin stream like a continuous pencil of molten silver. Frequently the miner with a stroke of his pick penctrates a cavity in the rock that is filled with pure quicksilver, which runs out, sometimes as much as a pint of it. The oro Is often filled with globules of mercury, and when It is blasted the high temperature cro- ated by the explosion volatilizes the metal, which in the form of a gas poisons the air. Workmen in the mines eat without washing thelr hands, and in these ways their sys- tems become saturated with quicksilver. The first symptom of resulting trouble Is usually exhibited by the nails, which become diseased. Later the teeth drop out, bone-rot of the faw follows and the unfortunate Is fairly eaten up by the poison. The men who work in the quicksilver mines of Wales are the cloanest people in the world, their skins untanned by sun, are white as snow. The Mexican miners in California are dirty and dle fast, but after two or three generations spent in the mines they last longer, their constitutions becoming more tolerant of mercury. USES OF QUICKSILVER. Vermilion is obtained from cinnabar. The red paint on the bodies of Indians in Call- fornia led to the discovery of the quick- silver mines. ~White men found out where it came from and began digging for ore of mercury. The most familiar use of the metal fs for thermometers. It is very val- uable in medicine, but it is most largely employed In gold mining because of its affinity for gold, which it dissolves. Quick- silver is the most easily lost of all metals, finding Its way back into the earth sooner or later. L A queer sort of“femdnade, made with sul- phuric acid instead’ of’lemon juice, is drank by quicksilver miniers): It has the effect of neutralizing the miercury. In lead mines the same mixture/of sugar, water and acld 13 used as a beverage. ‘It precipitates in the form of a sulphate the: lead absorbed by the body; in that shape. belng insoluble, it passes out of the system. The consequences of * lead poisoning: arss dreadful. Not long ago It was found out that the spread of cer- tain. mysterious dfseasks in parts of Eng- land and elsewherg wag due to Turkish snuff adulterated. with Jead, Sallors and. tourists brought the snuff from; Smyrua and distrib- uted it. D) The most picturesqué use of lead is for miaking shof.” Re§pécting this industry a re- mnrkl,ng delusio, is Current, ngmely, that the littlo nellets ate. made. sphericai by fall- ing from a helght thzough the air. The fact is that perfect shat could be:made by falling two feet just as well as by dropping 200 feet, if only they could cool quick enough. The shot, when they are let fall from the top, of the tower are as round as when they reach the bottom. It Is necessary that they shall drop a long distance in order that they may have time to cool and harden before reach- ing the water-well provided for receiving them gently. The sheeis of lead used for wrapping China tea are made, in an odd fashion, They are not rolled or hammered. The molten metal is poured out on a flat stone and another flat stone is lald upon it. A thin layer of lead is thus formed between the stones, it quickly hardens and Is removed for a repetition. of the process. The United States produced nearly 200,000 tons of lead last year. West of the: Missouri river the lead ore yields more or less silver also. Sometunes silver is the more valuable product of a lead mine, The crude mixture of the two metals is called “base bullion."” : AMERICAN COPPER. This country produces more than one-halt of the copper of the world. The metal comes from the Lake Superior region, from Mon- tana and from tho mew mines In Arizona. The Lake Superior mines alone yleld metal- lic copper in large quantities. There the stuft is found in a pure state, nuggets of it weighing hundreds of pounds. These de- posits were worked extensively by the In- dians for centuries before Columbus, and the copper they obtained was distributed widely by barter. They left behind many large masses of the metal, because they could not break them into pieces and were unable to carry them away bodily. The United States can turn out 360,000,000 pounds of copper yearly. The mines at Butte, Mont., are able alone to put on the market 200,000,000 pounds per annum, all of it obtained from a single small hill. Of course, the world's consumption of this metal is enormous. The waste is very great. So many cents are lost that the United States mint at Philadelphia is obliged to furnish 90,000,000 of these small coins annually. The copper used for sheathing the bottoms of ships Is chemically destroyed; it Is the vor- digris incidentally formed that kills the barnacles. Vast quantities of copper ane consumed for making brass and in electric wires. The wonderful new metal, aluminum, now costs only 5 cents a pound by the ton. The latest uses of it are for billlard cues, dog collars, hairpins, and chair legs. The Ger- man army, having adopted it for canteens, spoons and forks, has authorized its adoption as a material for flasks and other vessels in place of glass. Experiments authorized by the emperor proved that aluminum was not affected by coffee, tea and other fluids. Powdered aluminum mixed with chlorate of potash is now employed for flash-lights, in- stead of magnesiyty. One advantage that it has over the m;&';- that it makes no smoke. i The geological '8jiryey has information of the new discovery’ofvdeposits of American tin, which may bd ptofitably worked, Knowl: edge of the facts being, as yet incomplete, no statement on the' ‘Agct is ready for publi- cation. That thert' 1splenty of tin ore in this country has” lofig been known. Every hill of coarse grahité:ls a mine of it. The difculty is to géh fje metal out cheaply enough to pay. THUS far the much-advor- tised” prospects ot n i the United States have falled to m#terifiize. 1t 1s hardly to be imagined that-wé shall ever be able to compete with theistrdits of Malacca, from which two-thirds qfithe world's supply of tin 1s obtained. ., TIN MINING N MALACCA. Mining for tini inithe Straits region ls doue to a great axtesh by the elimate. The tremondous rain storms peculiar to that part of the world wash tho metal out of the rocks in the mountains and deposit It n the heds of streams, where:it 13 found by the natives In small tound DUEESLs resembling shot. Labor on the Malay. paninsula costs only $L.50 & month, and no machimery fis re- quired. In the United States the tin must be got out of fhe® hills by artificial hy- draulic power. Expensive plants are neces- sary, and workmen cannot be hired for less than $2,60 a day. . Thus, unless great masses of the ,metal should be discovered some- where, it is difficult to see how we can pre- duce tin' profitably. Nickel is another metal that is not pro- duced profitably in this country. It has been mined in various parts of the United Stat but the articte imported from Canada and New Caledonla is cheaper. Not long ago a man out west found great quantities of what he supposed to be meteorites in & ravine They were composed chiefly o nickel; meteorites ordinarily contain more or less nickel. But the notion that rains of meteorites oceurred in that region was di posed of by investigation, which proved that the alleged messengers from space were In reality nuggets carried by water from some mass of ore-bearing rock In the path of a stream Besides its usofulness in coinage, nickel is valuable as a non-corrosive plating for mak- ing German silver. It {s now being utilized in the manufacture of ar , a8 an alloy with steel. Though not self, It makes the steel harder, Why this 1s, nobody knows. Metals are quoer things. A single pateh of five acres In Burnett county, Texas, contains more metallic ele- ments than are to be found in any other known place in the world. In that little space are found not only nickel, gold, silver, lead and tin, but a large varfety of the very rare metals, such as cerlum, lan- thanum, erbirum, thorfum and uranium. Cerlum fs used in medicine to check the nausea of pregnacy. Seven per cent of the earth’s crust {s alum- fnum. It is the only metal that is more pleatiful than iron. The latter is the chief cause of color to earth and rock. It enters into almost all substances, circulating in the blood of animals and pervading the juices of plants. It Is a valuable medicine and Is the only metal that {s not polsonous to the hu- man system. One of the oddest things about it f% that it is never found In a pure state except In meteorites. It was known In the time of Moses, 1500 B. C. On the coast of Long Island and elsewhere it has been ex- tracted from sea sand by the use of mag- nets. The small black specks to be ob- served in any handful of beach sand are metallic fron ore. LAKE SUPERIOR IRON, Most of the iron In the United States Is produced in the Like Superior region. Among tho richest mines in the world are those of the Vermillion range. Railways built a few years ago for the purpose of fetching the ore from those mountains made a cut through the Mesaba range. This cut revealed the greatest iron deposits in existence, but the ore appeared in such an_ unfamiliar shape that it was not reccgnized for a long time. It is a soft gravelly stuff, which now is dug out with steam shovels. Almost every swamp containg more or less bog iron, depos- ited from water. This ore has been much used in New England, but {t is only suitable for foundry purposes. The discovery of deposits of platinum in this country would be as welcome as the finding of a diamond mine. At present the metal costs nearly half as much as gold, having risen greatly In price within the last three years. It is absolutely Indispensable for many purposes, being non-corrosive and resisting acids. It s utilized for chemical apparatus, sclentific instruments and incan- descent lamps. There Is some platinum in the beach sands of Oregon, but not enough to pay for mining. Small quantities of it have been discovered recently in the copper mines of Canada where it occurs in a new combination with arsenic. Two-thirds of the world’s supply of plati- num comes from two Siberlan mines in the Ural mountains. The metal Is obtained there as a by-product of gold mining. The mining is done by scooping holes in the ground to a depth of about fifteen feet, and then burrowing, rat fashion, in all direc- tions. Twenty-nine hundred cart loads of earth are required to yield fiftcen pounds of platinum. The biggest nugget ever found was about the size of a tumbler. Now the gold is getting to be scarce, and the laborers have been drawn oft to bulld the great Trans-Siberlan rallway. Hence the | creased cost of platinum, which, unless new deposits are found, is likely never to be cheaper than it i3 at present. Miners in all parts of the world have many odd superstitions, The mines of Ger- many are supposed to be haunted by little old men not over two. feet high, dressed as miners, . Sometimes they are malevolent and sometimes otherwise. Goblin miners known as “knockers” inhabit the mines of Wales, They make strange nolses, and the tapping of thelr picks can be heard in ore bodies not yet reached by the human work- men. The dreaded ladder dwarf Is a mali- clous hunchback of frightful appearance, who kicks out the rungs of ladders in mines Just before an accldent occurs. Vegetables Erowing in mines are believed to have tal- ismanic virtues, In Sardinia an ancient lead mine has been degerted and permitted to fill up with water for dread of a small and venomous species of spider that inhab- its it. HARD WORKING FORGERS. Do a Thriving Business In Checks of a Texas Firm. ALBANY, Tex., June 17.gFor some time Messrs. Webb and Hill of this place have been receiving from different parts of the country- checks purporting to have been drawn by them on the First National bank of Haskell, Tex. The checks are drawn in favor of C. M. Hill and R. C. Webb, and are cleverly gotten up forgeries. Among the banks that have forwarded checks for sums ranging from $5) to 600 are the Com- mercial Natfonal of St. Louls; First Na- tional of Evansville, Ind.; Keokuk National of Keokuk, Ia.: First National of Marshal- town, Ia.; Bank of Wisconsin, and Charles Scribner & Co,'s National bani of Oshkosh, Wis, Varlous business firms in the places named had indorsed the checks and pre- sented them for collection in these banks. Strenuous efforts are belng made to catch the forgers, who are still probably flooding the country with forged paper. Messrs. Webb and Hill know nothing of the C. M. Hill and R, C. Webb to whom the checks are. made payable, nor have they an ac- count with the bank on which the checks are drawn, e —— WAR OF THE GRAIN MEN. Board of Trade Moen Start an Investigation of Grain In Warehouses. CHICAGO, June 17.—Some of the Board of Trade men propose to inquire at once into the condition of the wheat in Chicago elevators. This s the latest move in the Chicago ware- house controversy, and is made by those op- posed to the present elevator methods. If carried out as asked by thirty members of the Board of Trade, it means that an imme- diate examination of the grain in all of the warehouses of this city will be made, and the result reporged to the directorate for further action, should such be deemed nee- essary. Developments of the controversy cul- minated in this manuer, and was the result of a growing belfet that a large quantity of wheat held by public warehouse men will be delivered on sales previously made, and that this wheat, instead of being No. 2 spring, which 8 a contract grade held at a premium over the more desirable No. 2 red win will be the most unattractive In the ware house, and such as will barely pass the in- spections. el Took u SKot at the Militia. MASSILLON, 0., June 17.—Captain Freed and Corporal Van Dusen of the Logan rifles of Youngstown personally captured J, K. and C.

There were three rebels among the Wealers today, who refused to eat their food and wilfully threw it In the faces of the guards. The result was that they were placed in the guard house on straight bread and water diet. The allow= ance to each man is one-halt gallon of cof- fee, ono and onc-halt pounds of meat, one and one-half pounds of bread, and all is of excellent quality. The deputy marshals treat them well, providing them with plenty of reading matter, smoking and chewing to- bacco. A local preacher offered his services to hold divine service today, but it was deemed nexpedlent to grant his request. The Quarters are large and airy, and the oppare tunities for bathing unexcelled, Lodge Pole creek furnishing ample facilities, The mar- shals are distinguished by red badges and walking canes and are making many friends in_the community by their affable manners. Ex-Policemen Cormick, Bloom, Walker, O'Gorman and Bruce of Omaha tread the pavements in truly military stylo, while Sedgewick, Kosters, Grebe and Gallagher make good seconds. Superintendents Park and Sutherland are here looking after the welfare of everybody, ably assisted by Andy Traynor, Bill Capada, John Lanktree and Andy Burg. A very imposing spectacle oc- curred this afternoon in Superintendent Park's private car, namely, the presentation of a Commonwealer's bludgeon to Bill Can- ada, chief of the detective service of the Union Pacific railway. It was in recognition of his merltorious services and bravery dis- played while at Blg Springs in the cipture of the Coxeyites. Superintendent Park delivs ered the speech. Canada was 50 overcome that a cold piece of ice had to be placed on his brow, while his friends put him in a re- cumbent position to save him from thorough collapse. Thirty special deputy marshals were dis- charged this evening and departed for Omaha, their services being no longer re- quired. Chief Deputy Coggeshall has issued posi- tive orders to his deputies, establishing strict discipline among them. They are required to remain at the government post, both on and off duty, unless permitted to leave by those In authority, and are then required to have passes. No outsiders are allowed {n the en- closures without permits, Al Keysor of Omaha has been placed in charge of the discipline of the prisoners, Captain Cormick has immediate charge of the rules and in authorized to enforce them. pecial Tele- e Simpson Has Hopes of Recovery, BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.
