By Moe. Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. 3. It was the six runs that the Grays took off for themselves In the Initial frame at Capital Hill park yesterday afternoon that made It possible for them to hand defeat-to the Shirley team. The score was 6-5. Both teams played a loose game In the field and were chuck full of mlsplays,. which made the contest anything but Interesting. The Grays were In exceedingly bad form but at that they were good enough to give the visitors a beating. Boyd was the pitcher for the Grays and hurled a good game. He had grand control of his deceivers and struck out 1G men. Bunkle of the visitors made a home run on a hit to deep center In the eighth, the ball being lost In the high grass. The Grays take on the Connersville K. I. O. league team next Sunday. Summary: Grays AB. R. H. O. A. E. Caldwell, 2b ..3 1 1 3 0 .2 Schattel, ss.. ..4 1 0 1 3 1 Hamilton, 3b. .5 0 1 0 0 1 J.

GLEN MILLERS HAVE BATTING STREAK White Sox Twirlers Driven Out ; Of Box. -rhe Glen Miller baseball team defeated the White Sox easily Sunday afternoon at North Twenty-second and F streets by the lop sided score of 23 to 4. The White Sox were hammered all over the lot and driven out of the box early In the game. The east enders showed no mercy to Townsend, who followed Gee, sending him to the stable after two rounds of bombarding. Nolan who followed Townsend In the box. fared but little better than his predecessors. Along with their heavy hitting the Glen Millers also stole twelve bases while Nolan, was catching. One of the features of the game was the fast fielding of Craig, the right fielder of the Glen Millers, who threw out two runners at first base from the outfield on what looked to be sure hit.

In the middle of the gold room was a mall fountain. Around this the day's proceedings began, writes T. Hendrlck In the American Magazine. Jay Gould's own brokers, pale, haggard, half distrustful and half ashamed of their work, started the bids. Gold had closed the day previously at 144. N6v a Gould broker ofTered 143 for $100,000 gold. Ills only response were the curses and fist shakings of a bedraggled, perspiring crowd. "One hundred and forty-six for $100,000 gold." Still there was no response. "One hundred and forty-seven." Each advancing point meant millions In profits to Gould and likewise millions In losses to the community. At every advance the crowds, losing all restraint alternately roared and wept "One hundred and forty-eight." "One hundred and forty-nine." Above the pandemonium the monotonous voices of the Gould brokers could be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting up the price. "One hundred and fifty." "One hundred and fifty -one." At this point the buying began. Hitherto the crowd had been held magically spellbound. The audacity of the Gould brokers had paralyzed all. Board brokers were particularly dazed. In face of the clique's demonstrated power no one seemed able to bid, even to make the feeblest attempt to check the terrible rise. A few uptown merchants now, however, started to purchase. Soon the bidding degenerated into panic. Every one scrambled to get bis gold now while the price, judged by what had already happened and the unquestioned power of the gang, seemed low. AH purchases, however, meant enormous losses. Fortunes accumulated through years of self sacrificing toll were swept away In a moment In their craze men ran aimlessly about the room, moaning, screaming, vainly appealing for help. Outside, where the crowds breathlessly waited announcements, the same scenes were repeated. Ruined men, unable to get into the building Itself, pushed, cursed and fought. At each rise In the price the rage against Gould Increased. When the bid reached 150 there were cries of "Lynch! Lynch!" And meanwhile what was the plotter of all this mischief doing? He was selling gold. To whom was be selling? To Flsk and all his own associates. He was the only man who really understood the situation who knew, that is, upon what a flimsy basis his "corner" rested. He sent Fisk, Belden and Speyer into the gold room to advance the price ostensibly for the benefit of the clique, and when it had reached a certain point unloaded on his own account He had sold largely, unknown to his confederates, the day before. ASKS 'PHONE BIDS. The Richmond school board has asked the Richmond Home Telephone company and the Central Union to bid for ten telephones in the school buildings in the city. As there is now little competition between the two companies in the local field it is very probable the Home company will be favored. Mr. Mott stated that he expected the bids from the companies in a few days, and the board at its next meet ing, Wednesday, Aug. 12, will be able to take some action.

BLUNDER IN TELEGRAPH

WORDING CHANGED AND WAX ING HASTENED TO QUEEN CITY SECOND REPORT OF DEATH CORRECT, HOWEVER. William Waking of this city, was called to Cincinnati, Saturday by a telegram stating that hla mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Smith, of Osgood, Ind., had died in the city hospital at that place as a result of being overcome by heat. On arriving there with a local undertaker, Waking learned that his mother-in-law was not dead, but appeared to be on the road to recov ery. Mr. Waking with the undertaker returned to Richmond and last even ing he was again notified that Mrs. Smith was dead. He was skeptical at first, but soon confirmed the report. The Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday printed the following concerning Wak ing's first trip to Cincinnati: Joy and indignation were mingled in the feelings of William waking, a merchant of 406 Main street, Rich mond, Ind., who was a caller at the City Hospital yesterday. The joy was caused by the news that his mother-in-law, whom he believed dead, was still very much alive, and the indigna tion was due to the fact that somebody had blundered and put him to great and needless expense and grief. Mrs. Anna Smith, of Osgood, Ind., Is Waking's mother-in-law. On Taft day Mrs. Smith enroute from her home to Richmond to visit her daughter and son-in-law, suffered a heat 6troke and was taken from the Little Miami depot to the city hospital. Her case seemad hopeless, and on Thursday the phy sicians in attendance believed her dy ing. The hospital authorities immediately sent the following telegram, a copy of which they preserved: "William Waking, Richmond, Ind.: Anna Smith is dying; come at once." Instead Mr. Waking received this telegram: "Wlllam Waking, Richmond, Ind.: Anna Smith is dead; come at once." Waking lost no time, except to wire the sad news to other relatives throughout Indiana, and, taking an undertaker from Richmond with him came to this city. Before calling at the hospital Waking and the undertaker from Richmond went to the undertaking establishment of Rebold & Son, on Harrison and Western avenues, engaging their services to prepare the body of Mrs, Smith for shipment. The trio then drove to the hospital with the dead wagon following them. The surprise of Waking can better be imagined than described when he was told that Mrs. Smith was not only alive, but on the road to recoveery. Explanations followed and the meeting of son-in-law and mother-in-law was pathetic. He did not tell her of the mistake that had been made, but told her had come because he thought that he could take her home. Waking left again last night lor Richmond, vowing to make somebody suffer for the anguish his family had nudergone and the expense he had incurred through this gross mistake. Tire Greatest of IMvera. The Amazon is the king of streams. From first to last It receives over 1,200 tributaries, of which more than 100 are large siaed rivers and rise so far apart and have their floods and ebbs at such different seasons that the Amazon is at about the same height the year around. At some points on its lower course one bank is invisible from the other. The beholder seems to be looking on a great yellow sea of fresh water. "When discovered, some tribes of Indians on the lower portion knew nothing of the existence of the opposite shore and did not believe that it existed, saying that "the great river flowed all around the world." Its mouth. Including that of the Para, is ISO miles In width, and it is navigable for large sized ocean steamers for 1,000 miles from the sea, and so vast Is the flood that the ocean is tinged yellow for 400 miles from the coast of Brazil. The Achaean Leaajne. The Achaean league was formed by the twelve towns of Achaea for mutual protection against foreign aggression. It was broken up by Alexander the Great but reorganized B. C. 280 and again dissolved B. C. 147. The second of these leagues comprised all the leading cities of the Peloponnesus and, indeed, most of the cities and states of Greece. It was this league which contended with the Romans for the independence of Greece; but, its troops being defeated by Metellus at Scarphaea and by Mummius near Corinth, the league was dissolved, and all Greece submitted to the Roman domination. Touch Eating. Those who have partaken of peacock declare that gorgeous bird to be decidedly tough eating, while it Is said of the swan that the fact of its ever having been a familiar dish speaks highly in favor of ancient English cutlery. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that when bustards' and boars' heads were as common as sirloins and saddles now are there were scarcely any vegetables to eat with them. Why He "vVae Timid. "Why do you avoid the man to whom I Introduced you? He is very agreeable and interesting." "I avoid meeting agreeable and interesting people," answered the misanthrope.

FACTORIES WILL THROW OPEN SHOPS Farmers Will Have Opportunity of Visiting Big Concerns Saturday. PLAN A BIG RECEPTION. THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDING GOOD ROADS CONGRESS WILL BE WELL PAIDCONTRIBUTIONS START. Arrangements for making "Good Roads Day," August 8, a big success are progressing in a most satisfactory manner. Headed by the Young Men's Business Club the citizens are falling into line to assist in giving the hundreds of out of town people who will be in the city a royal welcome. This morning the entertainment committee of the club called on the four financial institutions and received all told $00 as a starter for an entertainment fund. Tomorrow the committee will make a canvass and it Is thought the entertainment fund will be greatly increased. The Gaar, Scott & Company, the Starr Piano company, the Robinson & Company, the International Harvester company and the Hoosier Drill branch of the American Seeding Machine company and other concerns have informed Secretary Harris of Young Men's Business club that they will keep "open shop" next Saturday and that visitors will be shown over these large manufacturing plants. The club has ben greatly disappointed by Its failure in securing Governor Harris of Ohio to deliver an address at the meeting. Governor Harris has written that it will be impossible for him to attend, but he hopes the meeting will be a great success. He strongly advocates good roads. Most attractive programs for the meeting are being printed. These programs set forth the many points of interest in this city and Inform the public what a good town Richmond is. The advertisement committee of the Good Roads Congress meets this evening at the Palladium office at 7:30 sharp. "Why Is the veterinary surgeon always calling at your house? You have no cattle." "He is treating me." "You? A veterinary surgeon 7" "The rogue owes me fifty dollars, and that is the only way I can get it out f htm."

THE GIANTS OF OLD ANCIENT RACES MARVELS OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT. The Semlbarbarlana of One Tkoraad Year. Ao Wert All Remarkably Proportioned Men The Giant, of Ancient Greece and Rome. That the human race has degenerated In size as well as longevity is a fact well attested by various authorities. A. prominent Washington physician who has made a life study of brain and cerebral developments, says that, on visiting the catacomb of ParIs, what struck him most in those vast repositories of the contents of the city's ancient graveyards was the great size of the skulls in comparison with those of more modern mankind. This superiority of development In the men who lived 1,000 years or more ago the scientist attributes to the open air life then In vogue and the physical sports and exercises indulged in. There are several races of giants mentioned in the Bible, and the Greek and Roman historians have recorded many examples which serve to show that these specimens of elongated humanity were by no means rare at one period of the world's history. Titus it is mentioned that the Emperor Maximian was eight feet some inches high. The body of Orestes, according to the Greeks, was eleven and a half feet In height, the giant Galbora, brought from Arabia to Rome under Claudius Caesar, measured near ten feet, and the bones of Secondilla and Puslo, keepers of the gardens of Sallust, were but six Inches shorter. The probability is that outside of cultivated Greece and Rome among the semlbarbarous of the greater part of present day European nations physical development reached often to more wondrous proportions. The Chevalier Scory in his voyage to the peak of Tenerife says that they found in one of the sepulchral caverns of that mountain the head of a Guanche which had eighty teeth and that the body was not less than fifteen feet long. The giant Ferragus. slain by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was eighteen feet high. Revland, a celebrated anatomist who wrote in 1614. says that some years before that time there was to be seen in the suburbs of St. Germane the tomb of the giant Isoret, who was twenty feet high. At Rouen in 1509, in digging in the ditches near the Dominicamo, there was found a stone tomb containing a skeleton wboee shin bone reached up to the girdle of the tallest man there, being about four feet long, and consequently the body must hare been seventeen or eighteen feet high. Upon the tomb was a plate of copper upon which was engraved. "In this tomb lies the noble and puissant lord, the Chevalier Ruon de Yallernont. and his bones." There is, Indeed, evidence in the ponderous armor and two banded swords which remain to us in museums to Drove that the knight of the ages of chlvlary war.a r-.roic specimen of hu

When the tomb was opened they found a human skeleton, entire, twenty-five and one-half feet long, ten feet wide across the shoulders and five feet deep from the breastbone to the back. The teeth were each about the size of an ox's foot, and his shin bone measured four feet. Near Margarino, in Sicily. In 1516, was found a giant thirty feet high.

But It has been well remarked that, while elephants' bones may be shown for those of giants to uperfclal observers, this can never impose upon such distinguished anatomists as bare testified in many cases to the mammoth bones being unmistakably bumaa.
