The New Paris Grays and the Anderson (Ind.) team will play Sunday afternoon. The locals have won eighteen of the twenty games played this season. The defeated Anderson in the spring, and are expecting little difficulty in duplicating the trick. A CRESCENT OF RUINS. The Curious Old Cliff Dwellings of the National Mesa Verde. In the Mesa Verde National park, in southwestern Colorado, are 30O cliff dwellings, of which only the three lar gest have been repaired. The largest ruin, called ClifT palace, stands about a thousand feet above the bottom of the canyon and 300 feet below the top of the ledge. All the houses connect and open into one another, the entire" settlement forming a crescent about 300 feet in length from end to end. As we contemplate these silent ruius it Is hard to believe that at one time they resounded with the hum of industry, the laughter of children, the droning of priests, and the strident cry of the sentinels calling the warriors to battle. The dwellers of these abandoned communities have left no written record, but the shape of the structures and the relics that have been dug from the debris of centuries give some idea of how these people lived and moved and had their being. The main houses were built on a ledge close to its front, and back of this was an open space that answered the purpose of a court, a street, a playground or a place for Industrial pursuits, such as weaving and pottery making. At Intervals along the fronJ were towers and bastions, and in the interior were kivas or secret chambers used for religious ceremonies. In every village were storehouses to proId a supply of provisions In times of war or failure of crops.

T OF BLACK FIGHTER Kingdom of Belgium Bars Fighting to Keep Johnson From Coming. (National News Association) BRUSSELS, Aug. 2. Jack Johnson may soon be without a country to fight in. England does not want him. He cannot return to America because of the sentence for white slavery hanging over his head. France harbors him but not enough to allow him to mix with the guests in first class hotels. Now Belgium has put the ban on him. Following the announcement that the champion was to give boxing exhibitions in Belgium, the minister of justice yesterday issued an order that all boxing contests in the future should be investigated. This move was made to prevent faking in matches. The hue and cry against Johnson's exhibiting in Belgium became so great, however, that the minister of justice was forced to issue another edict. Today he put the lid down on all boxing. No further matches, whether between blacks or whites or mixed, will be allowed to be staged in the Kingdom. I HOT LINERS I OFF THE BAT Matty seems to be going back. With his aid the Giants tamed the Cubs, but "Big Six" allowed the Eevrites five hits and uncorked a wild pitch. This proves Matty is losing control. Wot? The Yankees winning streak of two games nipped in the bud by old Jupe Pluv. Miller's bat was once more in evidence. His two hits paved the way for the Pirates to again humble. Dahlen's men. It took ten innings, however, to turn the trick. Are the Athletics going back? Defeated twice in succession by a second division team does not like A-l ball. It may be only a temporary slump but in any event Cleveland is only seven games behind. The Braves are trying hard to forge ahead of the Dodgers. They won again from the Cardinals and are now but two and a half games behind sixth place. The Phillies keep following the Giants' pace. The Reds' errors and opportune hitting gave Dooin's men another victory over Cincinnati. "Elks' day" at Boston proved disastrous for the Red Sox. The Naps again took them into camp. Cleveland is going at top speed now and in two days cut down the Athletics lead 2 games. Certain they will be some clash next week when the leaders and runners-up meet. Two weeks ago Clark Griffith predicted that his team would beat out the Athletics and the latter would be on the toboggan. Today the Senators are further away from the leaders and still losing. The Tigers proved a handicap again. FELINE FAMILY HISTORY. Here Are the Facts, Although You May Not Believe Them. Why shouldn't a respectable cat sit ou the fence and howl when extracts from Its fa mil- history read like this: "Throughout the tertiary formations, from the upper eocene onward, there appears a remarkable family of cats, with a dentition still more specialized than that of the felinne. the true felines, retaining otiler skeletal features of a more primitive type of cats. These were the machaerodontinae, which survived until the pleistocene, both in Europe and in America." The information was found in a geology student's paper. "The Evolution of the Domesticated Cat." Perhaps you are a little rusty on cat history and you find it difficult to remember. This Illuminating bit of information will freshen it in your memory: "The pliocene period was the period of the carnivora. The felids included the macherodonts. machaerodus and aelur opsis. besides varieties analagous to the leopard and lynx. In this epoch appeared the servals (Felis ehristoli). At the time of the Felis christoll there appeared also the European wild cat. Felis catus. The earliest feline In America was Felis hillianus. It appeared in the middle pliocene. Kansas Industrialist AN ENGINEERING FEAT. Building a Railroad Across the Ice and Against Time. Along the Copper river valley lies a standard gauge railroad. 191 miles in length, the building of which was filled with romance. Its construction is regarded as a distinct feat in world's engineering. The road crosses the river between two glaciers (Childs and Miles). The false work of the bridge was laid on the ice in winter. Men were hired to work night and day. M. J. Heney. the contractor, the man who built another "impossible" road across the mountains from Skagway, and his chief engineer, E. C. Hawkins, conceived the idea of using the river ice for the bridge scaffolding. As the spring approached hundreds of men were kept busy every minute of the day and night, for if rot completed by the time the ice burst all the work and material would have been lost. The ice went out, carrying the false work with it, less than an hour after the spike was driven in the connectinar span and the work was completed. The bridge cost $1,400,000.

WANT PENSIONS FOR MEMBERS OF FORCE Petition May Be Presented to the City Council Very Soon.

Richmond Is as free from graft at far us the police department is concerned as any city in the country. This statement concerning the strong arm force was made this morning by police officials when discussing a proposition which may be submitted to the city council petitioning fot a pension for policemen after they have spent a specified number of years on the force.' It is contended in official circles that the guardians of the public peace nt-. m n.,iv n,i,4 k v. . - ' " .-- . f ...... m . tuvj t . . v spent most of their life in the service and are no longer competent to serve on the force, they are incompetent to serve in any other vocation in lite. A pension for them ill be agitated, it j is believed. i According to the oldest members ot the forc,? tne Iiichmond rc has always been free from graft. So stringently have officers refused graft when it was offered that there are no law violator? who now attempt to lure them with "filthy lucre," he says.
