OF COURSE, JOHN D. DID NOT KNOW. Judge K. M. LandU su.-eee..d ,in bringing Mohammed t.) the Mountain. The glory of thy achievement emi.v tlt--r.:. Judge I.andis, who i.s a young man with ideas and Ideals, i.s being la,uded by tho trust baiters as a wise judge and a bravo one. Not for ninet. .-en years, it i.s said, had John 1 . Rockefeller been haled into court and subjected tojudieial examination. It i.s not of record that ho had adroitly avoided witness service, all these years. It is not of record, either, that he was ever wantudtpartieularly. There arc millions of people in this country who have lived to Va ripo old aye without ever having warmed tho seat of a witness chair. Manylof them have died in possession of knowledge bearing upon weighty questions. It was pointed out to J udgo Landis when ha issued a summons to the Putative head of tho Standard Oil -company that the benign old gentleman of tho oil cans, the. bad stomach and the golf clubs would have nothing to say; would have no ray of light to shed on tho workings of the oil trust. The old gentleman himself protested that he had been out of business for eight years and had In that time given none of his time or attention to the gigantic concern over which he presides in name only. The general public believed Mr. Rockefeller when he said this. The general public knew exactly what Mr. Rockefeller would have to say when he appeared on the witness stand. No information of which the public was not already in possession was expected to come from Mr. Rockefeller. The summoning of Mr. Rockefeller was expected to serve no other purpose than to call more pointed attention to tho case and the judge who was trying it. It took on an appearance of the satisfying of personal curiosity and vanity. To compel a man to leave family and home hundreds of miles away and to journey to a distant city, to appear before a justice whose fame reaches scarcely beyond the border lines of his own jurisdiction, seemed to many like un encroachment on personal liberty. Of course any enterprising judge may dig deep into tho laws of our forefathers and find some clause that might compel even King Edward to answer to tho dictates, but such laws are absolete and should not be brought to tho fore at a day when customs; and manners are completely changed. To many sage business men It looked very much like a play to tho gallery, and tha gallery enjoyed the show. In an entirely impersonal point of view the old gentleman was entitled to more consideration. And all of this for the purpose ot hearing from Mr. Rockefeller's lips that be "did not know." LIBERAL TERMS IN FRANCHISE GRANT .

Although the United States Steel corporation would undoubtedly have given the people of Gary as good street car service as any other corporation could or would, and should have been awarded the franchise for the same reason that the manager of a theater should have the right to select Its vendor of cracker jack and chocolate bonbons, yet it should be a source of satisfaction to them that the franchise is as acceptable as it is. Assuming that it la practical to conduct a lino profitably on the terms of this grant, and assuming that Mr. Gavlt is capable, as he says he is, of financing this project along tho lines he has laid out. the franchise is one of the best that it has ever been the good fortuno of an Indiana city to confer upon anylike corporation. There can be no monopoly of the streets as the company asks for only three of them. There is no monopoly even of these streets as far as interurbans are concerned, for there is a provision permitting them all to enter over the tracks of the franchise holding company. . The compensation feature that ex-Mayor Knotts of Hammond used to stand

sponsor for until ho llnally had the right to dispose of a Hammond franchise

himself, was included in this ordinance, and tho city of Gary ia to receive per cent of the net proceeds of the company after the first five years.

Walsh felt that he could pre vent such a thing as happened on Saturday when the teams went thirteen innings. So he proceeded to blank the scrappy Athletics and held them for seven Innings without a hit and in the whole nine were only able to get three. Little Dygert who was in the box for the visitors did not fare so well and was banged all over the lot for nine safe bingles. At no time in the game did the visitors have a chance to score, such good control did big Ed. have over his spit ball. Isbell was the big ."lugger for the Sox and he got three safe ones, two of them going for two baggers. Rohe also got a two base hit and a single and Jones, Sully and Walsh were the only ones who did not get a hit. Doc. White and Big Chief Bender are slated for this afternoon. The coming week is "bonanza week" at the Sheepahead Bay and there will be eight races of great value to be split up between tho lucky etables. The Realization, tha Brighton handicap and the last part of the Double Event are the threa richest of the lot. Thd Realization will bring together the choice of the three yoar olds, ineluding Peter Pan and Frank Gill, besides Salvldere and Superman. The event in worth 35,0G0 and it is a good bet that the top money will find Its way to the Kociia stable. If Peter Pan dispose of Frank Gill In this race it will prove that the eoit is the best borsa of the year and a worthy successor to Sysonby. President Dreyfuaa of the Pirates ia going tho limit to strengthen his team for the fight this year, It eeema that his team has just struck its stride and it is winning games with great regularity. Ilia latest purchase was a Polish pitches? t'rora the Wlikesbarre team, who if reports are true, is certainly a wonder.

When ho was over here last year he expressed a desire to send over another teat if the measurement rule was changed so that be could fit out a boat that would "fcao speed and yet be sea worthy, and not the toy ihat the other boats have been."

IE Score 5 to 3 Visitors Get Three Pwuns in Ninth. It was pretty soft for Hammond yesterday. The Peerless team of Chicago came out with blood in their eyes and before the game remarked hew they would go back to Chicago with another victory annexed to their already long list, but it was reversed; they went back defeated by a score of 5 to 3. When the game was called tho visiting team found they were short two men, a catcher and a left fielder. Not wanting to delay the game. Vonish, catcher for the Joe Long Colts, and Goetia, left fielder, took the vacant positions and both youngsters played a good game, Vonish getting three hits off McMahon, one being a two bagger. Hammond made two runs in the first, one in the third and two in the sevent h. Up to the last inning McMahon held tho visiting team, but with Vonish to bat, he surprised the crowd by slamming out a two sac-ker and was followed by Porlier, who also copped out one for two bags, scoring Vonish, and before McMahon could get back his control the visitors had scored three runs. The Chicago team had only one error chalked up against them to the local's three. Hammond.

The Cubs played an exhibition game yesterday at Utica, N. Y., and the leaders of the New York State League finished two runs behind, the score being 4 to 2. Chance layed off and Howard took his place, and played one of the best games ever seen at the local grounds. Taylor did the twirling for six innings and Lundgren pitched the rest of the game. The Cubs return to Brooklyn today for the regular game. The Chicago Motorcycle club is planning another race meet in the near future at Crown Point. The former meet on July 4, was good and the men are asKmg tor another, ine time of the mile race 1.23 3-5 was very classy on an unbanked track and made the audience stand open mouthed.

Fitz is the favorite but Barry ls one tough nut for any man to crack. Jimmy Sebring, the outlaw who re fused to join the Cubs has been re leased to the Wilmington team in the Trl State league by Wllliamsport. It was said that Jimmy created discord in the club.

GREAT GOLF AT SOUTH SHORE

Country Club Links Scene of Record Score Made by Witt K. Cochrane. Witt K. Cochrane set a new amateur record for the South Shore club links yesterday afternoon in a nine hole match with Fred Gardner, making the round in thirty-six strokes, one shot better than the recent figure set by Kenneth Edwards, the Midlothian amateur. Jim Herd, the club prof t-ssional, who was in the gallery, said Mr. Cochrane played perfect golf and there was no element of luck about any of his shots. Mr. Coehrane's scoro follows: 5, 3, 3, 4, 4. 4, 4. 4. 5; total. 26. The first go'r tournament of the South Shore club will bo held next Saturday. Not to Be Fooled. A resident of a New England town who was no toil for his great kindness to animals viewed the tirst horse cars with dismay. "It's sheer cruelty, that's what it is," he insisted, uud the plea of convenience or necessity had no Inlluence upon him. "I'd walk to lies ton and back before I'd add a pound's weight to what those poor creatures have to drag," he declared, and no persuasion could induce him to ride in a Btreet car dragged, by overworked, tired horses. Wieu electricity was applied and the 'rs went Bmoothly along without the horses, his son said: "Now, father, you can ride on the street cars without worrying about horses. You can go Into Boston at your ease now." "James," said the old man, "you always rush at conclusions. You don't study into things as I do. Don't I read in the papers about every car having to have so much horsepower? And don't I know well enough what that means?" And the old gentleman sighed. "It simply means, my son, that the poor horses are being worked jusl as hard and just as many hours, only we don't see 'em. "Those power houses could tell tales, I reckon. No, I've no more use for street cars now than I ever had, and for the same reason." Youth's Companion. Barber's Hair Cut. "Wished I had time to go out and get my hair cut," remarked a barber aa he removed part of the lather from the customer's lips with his second finger. "Time to go out ami get it cut?" repeated the man in tho chair, with the emphasis on "out." "Are you like the man that won't eat In hia own restaurant? Aren't you willing to trust one of your own men to cut your hair?" "Oh, I'd trust them, all right!" said the barber. "It isn't that, but you hardly ever see a barber getting his hair cut in his own place. The other barbers all like to go home promptly at quitting time, and if one of us gets work done during the day there Is sure to be a rush about that time, and it makes a customer 'sore if he has to wait with two barbers right here and not waiting on him. He doesn't like to wait around while one barber cuts an other barber's hair." Cleveland TlaJn Dealer. His Impression. Mr. White Tell me. Uncle Rufus, how did you feel when that savage catamount jumped on your back as you were coming through the woods in the dark and began to claw and rend you? Uncle Rufus Rank Uh, well, sah, tell yo' what's a fact, thankee I 'lowed 'twuz muh wife! Yo' see, I was uhgittln' home dess a little bit antiquated fum de lodge o' de Cullud Knights and Shivvyieers, and muh nach'l splcion was dat de lady had got tired o waitln' and come to meet me. If I'd organized dat 'twuz a catamount dat had mje by de back, I reggln I'd uhbe'n skeered plumb to death; but, thinkin to muhse'f dat twuz nobody but muh wife, I dess breshed de var mint aside, accawdln' to muh custom, and come ub-bogin' along home, happy in muh ignunce. Puck. Tho Gloved Gambler. An American who visited Monte Car lo was telling of an incident there. In one of the gold rooms," he said, "a gentleman In lavender gloves was playing in wonderful luck, winning nearly every stake. As a great stack of plaques you know those beautiful. big gold pieces called plaques was pushed to him in the croupier I heard a young lady whisper In his ear: "'It ia very odd, monsieur, to wear gloves at play. What do you do It for? Luck?' "The fortunate player smiled grimly. " 'Not at all, ho replied. 'I promised my wife on her deathbed never again to touch a card. " Traveling Sand Hills. On the coast of Pomerania there are largo tracts of sand heaped up by tho wind, hundred3 of yards In breadth and from 60 to 120 feet high, and these hills; propelled by the wind, move 6teadHy In an. easterly direction. The speed at which these great hills travel is from thirty-nine to fifty-six feet a year. Pine woods, which sometimes come In their line of march, cannot stop them and aro completely destroyed.

Beyond tha Alps." A Kansas girl graduate who had been Ciren the theme, "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," promulgated the following: 'I don't care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps cr In Missouri. I do not expect to set the river on fire with my future career. I am glad that I have a good education, but I am not going to misuse it by writing poetry or

i essays on the future woman. It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover I may have should he speak of 'dorgs' la my presence or 'seen a man.' It will also come handy when I want to figure out how many pounds cf soap a woman can get for three docen eggs at the grocery. So I do not begrudge the time 1 spent in acquiring It. But my ambitions do not riv so high. I Just want to marry a man who can lick anybody of his weight ia the township, who can run an eighty acre farm and who has no female relatives to come around and try to boss the ranch- I will agree to cook dinners for him that won't send him to an early grave and lavish upon him a wholesome affection and to see that his ra.or has not been used to cut broom w ire when he wants to shave. In view of all this I do not care if I get a little rnsty on the rule of three and kindred things as the years go by." Topeka Capital. Part of tho Letter W Read. "Did you ever think," said an old printer, "that wo really notice only the upper halves of the letters? The lower halves are in many cases only the stems, the remainders of ornamental nourishes which have been gradually reduced in size and length and are now meaningless. Take, for Instance, the heading of a paper. Cover up with a blank sheet tho lower half of the let ters, and even if you did not know what they were you would have no difficulty in reading tho words. Now, re verse the process and cover the upper half, and If you did not know the words it would be impossible to make out the letters. This fact is even more plainly seen in the case of the Roman letters used for headlines. An L. mlht be mistaken for an I, but nearly all the other letters are so plainly indicated by the shape of the upper half that the lines may be read without difficulty." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Dueling In Old Creole Days. When dueling was an actual factor In the social order of this country, It had many worthy and notable exponents, including no less distinguished personages than Henry Clav, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, De Witt Clinton, Stephen Decatur and others of the same type, but nowhere on this continent was It so much an established Institution as in that peculiarly romantic old city of New Orleans. It was woven into the very fabric of the life of the community, and many a crumbling tombstone In the antiquated Creole cemeteries bears grim and si lent witness to the fact, though to un derstand the situation more clearly one should breathe, so to speak, the atmos phere of tho period. Louis J. Header in Century. A PishStory. The latest fish story concerns the herring and sea gull, and it comes from Nanaimo. A boat load of herring, containing about fifteen tons, was left at Johnston's wharf, Nanaimo, during the noon hour while the fishermen went to dinner. During their absence several thousand sea gulls the chronicler says 10,000 ate all the fish on one Bide of the boat with such good results that they emptied it, and when the last herring had been removed from that Bide it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, for the boat, with all the weight on the other side, upset, spilling all the remaining fish into the water Shanghai Mercury. Devoured by Jackals. Foreign papers tell a story of a woman at Fhlliipeville, In Algeria, who was seated by her baby's cradle on the veranda of her house when she was called within by her husband. Returning to the veranda after an absence of a few minutes, she found the cradle knocked over and the baby gone. Nest day native shepherds discovered in the undergrowth of a wood the bones of a young child and a string of amber beads, which were immediately recognired by the mother as having been on her child's neck. "There Is no doubt that the Infant was carried off and devoured by jackals," a correspondent adds. What Is en Orator? The true orator Is the man who can make people laugh, cry and feel what ho 6ays.

EXCELLED Old Soldiers Returning to the Scenes of Great Bat ties Find Chancres. FIND MANY RELIBS So Many Places cf Historical Interest Are To Ee Seen That Trip h an Education. Norfolk, Va., July 8. On account of tho Janustown expusiton many vt-t-trans of the Krt-ut war will tread tho Suil of old Yirtfini mralri th! Knm. mc-r after a lapse uf forty odd yt-ars. They will come with a little less tire in their eyes, a little inoro halt in their stops ur.d a little more t;ray in their locks, nevertheless they will come with memories as bright and minds as keen a wuen they followed tho fortunes of battle with Grant and Sheridan or Lee and Jackson. They will walk over the battlefields of Seven Pines or Fair Oaks, Cold Harbor or tho Wilderness and stop occasionally to gather up a gray leaden bullet, a mini ball or a rusty grap shot. They may. by a little search, discover the point of a bayonet protruding from the ground or it may bo or.ly a buckle from a soldiers belt with "C S. A." or "C. S. A." emblazoned with the brassy green of the by-gone years. In some places the scenes of that great conflict are fast becoming obliterated by the storms ot the seasons as they pass, and by the- plow of the unsentimental farmer, yet a thousand years will not to sufficient to entirely destroy the great earthworks which ' the vast armies of the sixties threw up, sometimes in a single nlrht. At Sewcll's Point, wlu re the Jamestown txposition opened on April 2t there ar huge pib-s of earth und fortification ruins, erected by the Confederate forces f'r t'ne defense of Norfolk, and in making the streets and boulevards of the exposition many relies such as cannon, cannon balls, rusty musiveis ana uie iiac uie uccu unearthed. At old Jamestown, where the crumbl ing church tower stands as the sole remnant of the first Knglish settlement in America, the earthworks of near three hundred years ago may bo seen where they were thrown up as a defense against the Indians, builded a little higher by Lord Cornwallis .In revolutionary days and added to yet more by McClellan in th i days 'of "62. At Williamsburg, a few miles distant from Jamestown are somu of the best preserved earthworks of them all. Here much of the original "Fort Magruder" stands, a high circular embankment with its accompanying deep moat. In a tangle of blackberry bushes on this embankment there was recently discovered a heap of nine pound loaded mortar shells, which had lain there undisturbed for nearly fortyfive years. Evyy household of the community has Its priceless collection of battlefield relics, turned up by the plow or uncovered by the frosts of winter and rains of summer. Here may l-e seen some of the best preserved rifle-pits thrown up during the war. The railroad from Williamsburg to Newport News cuts through one of these huge earthworks about a mile out of Williamsburg. At Yorktown there may be seen traces of the famous redoubts thrown up by Cornwallis and In which he put too much confidence. Newer and more extensive earthworks appear there also, mementoes of the Peninsular campaign of the civil war. At Petersburg, a thousand men might yet find shelter in the "Crater," the Balaklava of the civil war, where so many brave lives were sacrificed. All about Richmond, the Confederate capital, are signs of the city's defense in the days which tried tho souls of men. Enbankments, trenches, redoubts, riflepits and fortifications cf every kind dot the landscape, especially to the east and north of the city. Similar earthworks abound all over Virginia from Manassas to Appomattox and it will not be difficult for the old veterans of the blue and the gray to get thfir btarlnirs as they traverse the scenes of their battles of long ago. The Jamestown exposition promises to serve many useful purposes to the country at large and not the least of these will be the bringing together of the soldiers of the north and the soldiers cf the south In closer compact and fraternal friendship. The lapse of years hu3 healed tha wounds of passion and at the Jarr.rstown exposition the old soldiers will gather at the "Building of the Blue and Gray Veterans" and will light their battles o'er again without a semblance of the animosity of former years.
