Affairs of the

(By Tort.) Nap LaJoie claims that an orangehued hoodoo is persuing his Cleveland bunch With the field hospital already well filled with mangled athletes it was necessary to find room yesterday for George Stoval. The big first baseman collided with a Detroit player and broke his left arm. .This means that he will be out of the game about all season. "What do they do when a team gets to .000 in the percentage column?" asks our friend, the Anderson' Bulletin. Keep your eyes open, Mr. Bulletin and you will witness the answer. We know of no team in the United States that has a better chance to draw three ciphers with a period before 'em than Anderson has. Clark Griffith, ex-manager of the New York Americans, wants to purchase the Birmingham, Ala., franchise. At the Indianapolis game Wednesday Vice President Fairbanks was a spectator and was introduced to Pres. O'Brien of the American Association. After discussing buttermilk and cocktails the V. P. asked O'Brien how it felt to be a president. There were big doings in Smoketown Yesterday the Pirates and the Cubs GRAY SEEMS 10 BE LIKELY FOR SECOND PLACE (Continued From Page One.) be determined until the caucuses are held Monday. It is well known, however, that Bryan has a majority in the convention which would probably stand by him in a platform fight quite as closely as in demanding his nomination. Like Republican Plank. Between no injunction plank at all and one which asks for trial by jury in cases of contempt committed outside of the court there is a natural medium ground which is suspiciously near that found by the Chicago convention. It merely provides that in all cases where no serious damage will be done a federal judge shall issue an injunction only at the notice to all the parties interested. No particular harm would be done by such legislation, but it would be curious if after all the declarations in behalf of labor which have been made by Bryan and the democratic leaders, the Denver convention should find itself confronted with the same difficulty which was met at Chicago. Bryan's Thunder Appropriated. Mr. Bryan is still insistent that the convention shall adopt his idea of the government insurance of bank deposits. There is a purely personal reason for this. Up to date there has been but little difference in the matter of policy between the two parties. The republicans declared for a limitation on the right of judges to issue injunctions, which was not satisfactory to the more radical labor leaders. At the same time it was a declaration on the subject and was even a radical one for a republican convention. The republicans have also come out strongly for tariff revision for the first time in the history of the party. This takes away two live issues on which Mr. Bryan was preparing to make a campaign and he wants to have something on which he can appeal to the people to show the differ ence between him and Taft. Every man who comes from Lincoln now says that postal savings banks and the issuance of bank deposits by the government are to be made the strong feature of the coming campaign. Will Tour the Country. It was given out from Lincoln some time ago that Mr. Bryan proposed to abandon his old system of a personal canvass of the country, but would re sort to the practice of McKinley and most republican candidates. He then expected to stay at home at Fairview, receive delegations, make speeches 10 them and write letters more or less incessantly. It is now said bv those in the confidence of the Peerle;;3 One that he has consented to take the field in person once more. He will make a thorough canvass of the country from ocean to ocean and will devote particular attention to the doubtful states, especially including Indiana and New York, which are figured out to be most uncertain and most necessary to democratic success. To several of his callers at Lincoln within the last two days Mr. Bryan has said that le did not care a snap of his fingers who might be the chairman of the democratic national committee. Interest in Committee. It has been the custom in the democratic as well as in the republican party to permit the candidate to select his own chairman. If Mr. Bryan continues to keep his hands off, the conservatives will take a sudden interest in the situation because they are always looking to the future. Thev will be glad to organize a national committee in teir own way with entire loyalty to Bryan, but with special reference to the next campaign. They want to hold the party together so that in 1912 they can give Taft a run for his money for a second term. Mr. Bryan insists that there shall be in the Denver platform a distinct plank declaring in favor of a publicity of campaign expenses. Such a plank will make it extremely difficult for the committee to secure campaign distil buttons anywhere, because when all is said and done, the average man dois not care to have his partisan contributions made public. Bryan is insistent on this point, however, and the plank will go into the platform. The funds will be proportionately short during the campaign and this is one of the reasons why so many prominent democrats are unwilling to accept the position of chairman of the national committee.

Sporting World

split even and today and tomorrow these great outfits hook up again. Rube Marquard, the Indianapolis star, states that before he signs with any major league team he must have an inflated salary offered him. Although the Rube has visions of toting his roll from the pay car in a dray it is quite probable that he will be able to accommodate it in his trousers pocket. Base ball in Richmond on the Fourth of July will be conspicuous by its absence. Cambridge City, however, will pull off a good game. Some day when Richmond grows up maybe it can support a team like Cambridge City does. Horse Show Note Sergeant McManus states that he will ride a fiery charger in the parade tomorrow if he has to glue himself onto the saddle. This exhibition will positively be given free of charge. Those durn fool Reds got beat yesterday. Stack 'em up against world champions and they win. Put 'em against a tail end outfit like St. Louis and they have the tar whaled out of 'em. Gans and Nelson meet tomorrow at San Francisco. The Ethopian is the betting favorite. FACE JUDGMENT Eight Men Who Swindled Hundreds of People Through Bogus Concern. MANY NOW FACE POVERTY. INVESTORS FIND THAT "BIG BONANZA" CONSISTS OF SMALL PROPERTY BUT ELEGANTLY ENGRAVED CERTIFICATES. Chicago, 111., July 3. Eight persons charged with conducting a get-rich-quick mining venture, in which they are said to have taken in more than $1,000,000, were indicted by the federal grand jury yesterday on the charge of using the mails illegally. Those against whom the bills were found are: Dr. W. S. Phillips, a dentist. Dr. A. T. Grove, dentist. Walter S. Dillon, lawyer, formerly of Chicago. V". T. Arms, former salesman. Marc Sherwood, former salesman. J. B. Swalley, merchant at Aurora. H. E. Graham, stock jobber and gen eral promoter. "VY. K. Graham, brother and partner of H. E. Graham. The men indicted organized the American-Mexico Mining and Development company in 1903 under the laws of South Dakota with a capital stocit of $3,000,000. It is said $1,000,000 of the capital stock was retained by cer tain of the organizers and divided amongst the two Grahams, Phillips, Grove, and one other man, who is credited with being the originator of the scheme, although he was not in dieted. Thousands of persons invested in the concern. Many of them paid in the last of their accumulations and are now poverty stricken. The mining company, according to the evidence presented to the grand jury, consisted of some property of small value in Mexico, a smelter plant, and elaborately engraved stock certificates and stationery. The local offices of the company were in an elaborately furnished suite at 101S Na tional Life building. The Donjon. The donjon, or keep, of the castle was a tower within, much stronger than the rest of the structure and de signed as a last resort for the garrison when the walls and other portions of the fortification had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The donjon was generally provided with a secret exit, a tunnel being constructed, often many hundreds of yards in length, leading to some concealed outlet through which the besieged could receive succor or, in time of necessity, escape.

A tin bucket filled with molasses, was left just outside the home of "Blossom's" owner, Charles Stewart, of this city, last night. "Blossom" was prowling around along cheese sandwich and a scuttle of about midnight, looking for a hops, and happened to spy the bucket of molasses. Yes. they found her poor, lifeless body in the chilly dawn. The tin bucket encased her heart. "Blossom had dived into the can of sweets and became strangled. The Stewarts are heartbroken.

STANDARD OIL

CASE POSTPONED Adjournment Taken Until the First Day in September. A VICTORY IS PREDICTED. ATTORNEY FOR THE GREAT COR PORATION SAYS THAT HIS COMPANY DID NOT AT ANY TIME DISOBEY THE LAW. New York, July 3. At the conclu sion of yesterday's session of .the Standard Oil inquiry, an adjournment was taken until Sept. 1, when the taking of evidence will be resumed. The feature of the hearing was the testimo ny of witnesses for the Standard Oil company about the rate war in Massachusetts and eastern New York. They denied that rebates were given and said that prices were lowered because of the keen competition by the firm of Hisgen Brothers of Springfield, Mass., Moritz Rosenthal, senior counsel for the Standard, issued a statement at the close of the hearing in which he prophesied victory for the defendant company. "We will later, and probably upon the resumption of evidence taken on Sept. 1, put in proof to rebut the alle gations of preferences In railway rates," said Mr. Rosenthal. "We will show that we have never enjoyed preferences not open to any other shipper, and that much of the evidence presented In relation to these alleged preferences is based up on hearsay. We will show as easily as we have proved that the Standard was not responsible for the rate cut ting in pringfield and vicinity, that the Standard has enjoyed no prefer ences in rates. "We will also put in ample proof to show that in the conduct of our pipe line companies we have always kept strictly within the existing interstate laws and that not a rule or requirement has been made not amply justified by physical conditions. "I am satisfied that when the proof is finally in the public will find that no corporation in this country has been operated upon more legal or more equitable lines, man to man. than the same maligned Standard Oil company." Wonders About Skin Pares. Each square inch of the human skin contains no less than 3.500 sweating tubes, or perspiration pores. Each of these tubes, although wonderfully minute, is about one-fourth of an inch in length. Each of these sweat tubes may be likened to a tiny draintlle. We find that the average adult has about 2,000 square Inches of skin on the surface of his body. Each square inch of this outer cuticle is, as we have said, literally permeated with its 3,500 quarter inch perspiration ditches. If we could put each of these little tubes end to end we would find that they would extend a distance of not less than 201,166 feet. Had you ever before stopped to consider the fact that the aggregate length of the tile ditches for draining the human body is almost forty miles? Bchllemaaa'a Lack. It is told of Schliemann. the exhumer of buried cities of the ancient world, that he was pursued by ill luck in his earlier undertakings. Mentioning the fact to a friend, the latter asked him which leg and arm ha first inserted in trousers and coat. Schliemann said he habitually inserted the right "That is the cause of your misfortunes." said his friend, "l'ou have offended the left hand fairies, and they take out their vengeance on you. Reverse your habit and see." "And." said Schliemann in telling the incident In bis later and rrosperooa years, "you see how it changed my luck." Tilcotlaaa iflnii. Nicotiana afflnis. the border flower, which opens about 6 o'clock and giTes a powerful and pleasant fragrance dur ing the night, takes its name from the botanical term for the tobacco plant nicotiana, which, was named in honor of John Kicot of Nismes, ambassador from the king of France to Portugal, who procured the first seeds from a Dutchman, who bad them from Florid.
