The Spokanes -won out In the eleventh inning of the hardest played game seen on the local grounds this season.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. The Amer ican four-masted bark Roanoke is only 63 days out from Norfolk, Va., for San Francisco ywlth a cargo of coal, but still the underwriters are willing to pay 45 per cent to reinsure their risks on vessel and cargo. July 8, in latitude 45 degrees 45 minutes north, longitude 47 degrees 17 minutes west the steamship Margherita sighted an American wooden ship on fire. Her captain described the burning vessel as oemg more tnan 400 reet long with all her four masts gone, but what was pre sumably an Iron house and a donkey engine still standing amidships. From the nature of the fire It was surmised that the vessel's cargo was coal. On this account the underwriters at once pffered 30 per cent to reinsure and now It has reached 45 per cent.

THE MORNING LODGEMEN PLAY BALL WORKMEN -DEFEATED BY WOODMEN 6 TO3. THE Good Stick "Work: in the First Two Innings Gave the Woodmen a Lead Which Ther Maintained. The Woodmen of the World, in their triumphal procession yesterday, walked over the bodies of nine members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The ceremony took place on the ball field of the Portland Baseball Club, and was witnessed by 1000 members of the two orders who rooted continuously while the lodge men cavorted like professionals on the diamond. The score, 6 to 3, was close enough to satisfy even the most fastidious fan. The Woodmen handled the bats like axes'. Every time they swung on the ball they chipped pieces out of the leather sphere. The balls for the game cost a small fortune. Every once In a while Trilby Rankin would pull out a shiny white sphere from his pocket and call out "Play the game." The Workmen were not willing vic tims. They kept playing the game up to the last minute, but their stick work was not up to the mark of the ax wielders, and -they were forced to be content with the short end of the score1. Both sides played like professionals. Errors were few, and when the ball was popped in the air, it was a sure out, and not the sign of a home run. Second Baseman Alnslie, of the Work men, made one of the most sensational plays of the game, when he fielded suc cessfully Meach's fast grounder. The ball looked like a sure hit Alnslie went after It fast and dove just In time to scoop it up with one hand, and to throw the fleet-footed shortstop out at first The Woodmen fell upon young Mclnnls for four hits in the first inning, which gave them two runs. Meach took his base on baits, stole second and went to third on Oliver's out' He scored on Heslin's safe hit The latter went out In attempting to steal second. Dunbar rapped out a hit and went to third or. Mclnnls' wild throw to first, ,and scored on Bellew's hit. Ludberg advanced Be llew to third, but the next man, R. Oliver, OUULK. OUl. When Baldwin, the first Workman, came to bat, there was blood in his eye, and he aimed to swat the ball over the champagne, ad. on the left field fence. Pitcher Dunbar feared this. He threw his fiercest curves. One of these hit Baldwin and he walked to first Three out of five times Baldwin stepped to the bat he stopped one of Dunbar's hot ones with his side. The last time he was brought to the ground with the crash of a falling tree. He nevertheless scored the first run for his side, coming-in to the home place on C. Gell's two-base hit Gell was advanced to third by AInsIIe's single, but died there when his side was retired. The Woodmen did things again in their time at bat With one man out, Hackett took first on a hit and second on a wild pitch. Meach took first on Newell's error at short and stole sec ond. Both scored on Oliver's fine three bagger. The side was retired by a pretty double. Heslin .sent a hot grounder to Newell, who fielded the ball neatly to First Baseman C. Gell, who returned It to catcher Zan in time to put out Oliver. The Workmen scored a run by hard dig ging in the second. Hall took first on an error, second on a passed ball, but was retired at third by Shortstop Meach, who fielded Newell's grounder. Mclnnls flew out Baldwin and Zan filled the ha no by being hit by pitched balls from the speedy Dunbar. On Hackett's error, Newell scored. C Gell struck out 1 In the fifth the Workmen were one run nearer catching up to their rivals. 6. Gell flew out Senner took first on the error of Bellew. On Ainslle's hit Senner tore for third, but was caught by a beautiful throw from center by Crosby. Alnslie reached second and scored on Cal Gell's hit. Hall fouled out to Oli ver. Up to the ninth it was nip and tuck. Mclnnls steadied down and nhnf- nn- tVm Woodmen Inning after Inning until the ninm. .Hackett took first on a passed ball on the third strike. The next iwo men were fielded out Heslin sent out a pretty two-bagger, scoring Hackett. Dun bar followed Tvlth a single, scoring Hes lin, amid great applause from the Wood men. Beliew, the last man up, flew out to first j Both pitchers were In fine form. Dun bar performed the feat of cutting Zan out without a hit for the first time in 17 games. Mclnnls was touched up in the first two Innings, but steadied down and pitched a fine game. Ncxr Sunday the two nines will play the 6econd game of the championship series. On August 17 and 18 Manager Ralph Feeney will take the Workmen nine to Spokane to meet the Woodmen. The score: . WOODMEN. AB. R H. PO. A. E.

HoW a Dog's Identity Was Estab lished by the Judge. AIL, the Oranges, which, like ancient Gaul, are divided Into three parts, are talking today about a dog and It's owners, and It must be confessed that Solomon, In all. his glory, was not arrayed In the public mind during any part of his ca reer with the legal bouqueis which are being flung at Justice 6f the Peace John B. Leander, of West Orange, who decided the .case, which decision forever must rank alongside those immortal decisions handed down timidly by historians, sayB the New York Commercial Advertiser. This suit, which Involved the Identity and ownership of a full-blooded, regis tered English setter dog, was tried be fore the Justice last evening. Zllla I. Mooney, a breeder of fine Jersey cows, was the plaintiff, and S. W. Cary, Jr., a wealthy resident of West Orange Moun tain, was the defendant Seven weeks ago the dog broke loose and ran over thp Orange hills. Mrs. Moo'ney saw the ani mal, -caught it and tied It up on her farm. The animal chafed under restraint, and one day slipped Its collar and by way of retaliation Killed 10 of Mrs. Mooney's fine Leghorn chlqkens. She then gave tha dog1 to William DeHart a neighbor. He also tied ittup. The dog again fllipped its collar and ate up six Plymouth Rock chicks, Just to remind. DeHart that he was due .more1 consideration than Mrs. Mooney. -Then DeHart, disgusted, gave the dog back to Mrs. Mooney. The lat ter tied-up the setter again. In the meantime, Edward J. Coddlng ton, a master mason of West Orange, laid claim to the dog, saying that he had bred it from a puppy, and that it had strayed from his barn. He allowed Mrs. Mooney, however, to keep the animal. Last Thursday week a lady and trentle- man, the latter the defendant, drove up to Mooney's farm and asked to look at the dog. Mrs. Moonejv seeing a chance to sell, brought out the dog. "Why, Kate, where have you been?" said Mrs! Cary, and thereupon the dog Jumped into the carriage and the party drove off hur riedly. At the hearing last night, Mrs. Mooney sued Mr. Cary for $125, her estimate of the value of the dog. The court was opened on the veranda, just where the dying sun could shed Its last rays on the Justice's high back forehead. Everybody for miles around had heard of the dis pute, Along the roaS.and under the big elms and oaks were hitched farmers' rigs, old buckboards, carryalls, buggies and every kind of vehicle that a backwoods jerseyman trots out on such occasions. The old horses switched their tails over dashboards and did their best to keep off the pesky bugs and mosquitoes. William Read Howe, the leading lawyer of Orange, appeared for the defendant Plaintiff told her story., De Hart corroborated It in part, but said the dog was really given to him by Coddington. Coddlngton swore he bred the dog, but had let It go astray at times. The defendant swore that he and not Coddington, id bred the dog. He called six witnesses, employes of his, to prove this. One witness was John N. -L.ewis, an 01a sporting manr who had used the dog in field trials. Defendant also produced certified cpples of the ped igree of the dog. which he valued at $1500, and the registry of the animal as "Shot's Kate" In the American Kennel stud book. All the witnesses on both sides de scribed the points and thte marl nt ho , dog accurately. The case became so riuz- zllhg and the testimony as to ownership so conflicting that the Justice went into a back room and thought for throp- 'quarters of an hour, after wh.ich he re- iurnea 10 xne veranaa and annouqed that he wanted to have the dog brought on the veranda so that the animal's move ments and performances might give a better clew to Its identity and ownprshln This was done, and It was just here where the fun began. Mrs. Mooney called the dog "Flossie" De Hart called her "Floss",'' and when the dog appeared both cried nnt n , I animal In an endearing way. Their claims 10 ownersnip crumbled away in propor tion to the dog's indifference. Defendant called out "Kate," and the dog Jumped toward him and licked his hand. Then Mr. Coddington, the reputed dwner, was recalled. After the exhibition his claims of ownership were somewhat shaken. He mougnt ancr an ne was mistaken. De Hart stuck to it that the dog was Cod dlngton's. The conflicting- .claims of "Kate's" four owners were then reviewed by the court and Judgment was given for the defendant Then the assembled Jerseymen hftched up and drove away commenting on the learned decision. Uncaltnred Culture. Take, for illustration, a university club In a large city perhaps It would not be unfair to take the largest city. New York, says Arthur R.

Is It not often true that the one obvious distinguishing mark Is the comparative emptiness of the really at tractive club library? la It not also often true that one may there en counter the most surprising ignor ance of names which the magazine editor would call "household words"? It was at a dinner party in the University Club of New York, to cite a perspnal ex perience, that some one passed on a good-story ("good" because of the person whom it concerned) of a well-known man of letters, a, constant contributor to the magazines, ope who has been talked of for the presidency of more than one lead ing university in the East, only to have the question asked, after the nonnioa. cently polite laugh had Bubslded. "And who Is Mr. Blank?" The man who had passed on the story had 'himself to give' me answer, alter a snort but hopeless pause a case of humiliation In a way like explaining the point of one's joke. It was on a "Story-Teller's Night" In the same club when one of, the best known writers in New York itself arose to speak a man known also for his practical ser vices In reforming -tenement house life that a little group of two lawyers, a doc tor -and a busjnes3 man leaned forward to whisper, as one queried -it: "He's writ ten some book, hasn't he?

DR KOCH'S DISCOVERY NO DANGER FRO 31 BOVINE TUBER CULOSIS. Experiments Unintentionally Cairied Ont In the Great Cities Intesti nal Consumption. The assertion of Professor Koch, the famous specialist, that tuberculosis in cattle cannot be transmitted to human beings, Is contained In tn article by him in the Journal of the American Medical Society, of July 27. entitled "The Fight Against Tuberculosis in the Light of Experience Gained In Successful Combat of other Infectious Diseases." After premising that tuberculosis Is a prevent able disease and making the contention that human tuberculosis cannot be transmitted to cattle, Dr. Koch says: Is Man Susceptible to Bovine Tub crculosls But now, hew is It with the suscepti bility of man to bovine tuberculosis? This question is far more Important to us than that of the susceptibility of cattle to human tuberculosis, highly Important as that Is, too. It Is Impossible to give this question a direct answer, because, of course, the experimental Investigation of It with human beings Is out of the question. Indirectly, however, we can try to approach It. It Is well known that the milk and butter consumed In great cities very often contain large quanti ties of the bacilli of bovine tuberculosis In a living condition, as the numerous infection experiments with such dairy products on animals have proved. Most of the Inhabitants of such cities dally consume such living and perfectly viru lent bacilli of bovine tuberculosis, and unintentionally carry out the experiment Which we are not at liberty to make. If the bacilli of bovine tuberculosis were able to Infect human beings, many cases of tuberculosis caused by the consump tion of allmenta containing tubercle btel 11 could not but occur among the Inhabi tants of great cities, especially the child ren. And most medical men believe tht this Is actually the case. In reality, however, it Is not so. That a case of tuberculosis has been caused by allmenta can be assumed with cer tainty only when the intestine suffers first that is, when a so-called primary tu berculosis of the Intestine Is found. But such cases arc extremely rare. Among many cases of tuberculosis examined after death, I myself remember having seen primary tuberculosis of the intestines only twjee. Among the great post mortem ......v..,!.. vii mc vimiHu .rauajjiiiu in Ber lin 10 cases of primary, tuberculosis of the Intestine occurred 'in five years. Among 1)33 cases of tuberculosis In child ren at the Emperor Frederick's Hospital for Children. Baglnsky never found tu berculosis of the intestjne without simul taneous disease of the lungs and the bronchial glands. Among 3104 post mortem examinations of tuberculous children, Bledert observed only 16 cases of primary tuberculosis of the Intestine. I could cite from the literature of the subject many more statistics of the same kind, all In dubitably showing that primary tubercu losis of the intestine, especially among children, Is a comparatively rare disease, and of these few cae3 that have been enumerated it Is by no means certain that they were due to Infection by bovine tuberculosis, which may have got Into the digestive canal In some way or other for Instance, by swallowing saliva from the mouth. Hitherto nobody could decide with certainty In such a case whether the tuberculosis of the Intestine was of hu man or animal origin. Nor we can make the diagnosis. All that Is necessary is to cultivate in pure culture the tubercle bacilli fdund In the tuberculous material, and to ascertain whether they belong to bovine tuberculosis by Inoculating cattle with them. For this nurnose I refnm. mend subcutaneous Injection, which yields quite specially characteristic and convinc ing results For half a year past I have, oKcupieQ myseir, wun sucn investigations, but owing to the rareness of the disease In question, the number of the cases I have been able to Investigate Is but small. What has hitherto resulted from this In vestigation does not support the assump tion that bovine tuberculosis occurs In man. Though the Important question whether man is susceptible to bovine tuberculo sis at all is not yet absolutely decided, and will not admit of absolute decision today or tomorrow, one Is nevertheless already at liberty to say that. If such a susceptibility really exists, the Infection of human beings Is but a very rare oc currence. I "fcould estimate the extent of the Infection ijy ilie milk and flesh of tu berculous cattle, and the butter made of their milk, as hardly greater than that of hereditary transmission, and I there fore do not deem It advisable to take any measures against It Human Sputum the Main Source of Human Tuberculosis. t So the only main source of the Infection of tuberculosis Is the sputum of consump tive patlenta, and the measures for th combatting of tuberculosis must aim at the prevention of the dangers arising from its diffusion. Well, what is to be done in this direction? Several wavs are onPn. One's first thought might be to consign all persons suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs, whose sputum contains tuber cle bacilli, to suitable establishments. This, however, Is not only absolutely Im practicable, but also unnecessary. For a consumptive who coughs out tubercle bacilli Is not necessarily a source of Infec tion on that account, so long as he takes care that his sputum Is properly removed and rendered Innocuous. This Is certain ly true of very many patients, especially J in me nrst siaces. ana also of those who belong to the well-to-do classes and are able to procure the necessary nursing. But how Is It with people of very email means? Every medical man who has' oft en entered the dwellings of the poor, and I can speak on this point from my own experience, knows how sad is the lot of consumptives and their families there. The whole family have to live in one or two small, lll-ventllated rooms. The pa tient 13 left without the nursing- he needs because the able-bodied members of the family must go to their work. How can the necessary cleanliness be secured un der such circumstances? How is such a helpless patient to remove his sputum, so that it may do no harm? But let us go a step further and picture the condition of a poor consumptive patient's dwelling nt night The whole family sleep crowded together In .one small room. However cautious ho may be, the sufferer scatters the morbid matter secreted by his dis eased lungs every time he coughs, and his relatives close beside him must inhale this poison. Thus whole families are In fected. They die out, and awaken In the minds of those who do not know the Infectiousness of tuberculosis the opinion that it is hereditary, whereas Its trans mission In the cases lifquestion -was due solely to the simplest process of infection, which do not strike people so much be. cause the consequences do not appear at once but generally only after the lap&t of years. Notification. Among such preventive measures I re gard obligatory notification as specially valuable. In the combatting of all Infec tious diseases vit has" proved Indispensable as a means of obtaining certain knowl edge as to their state, especially their dissemination, their Increase and decrease. In the conflict with tuberculosis also we cannot dispense with obligatory notifica tion; we need it not only to Inform our selves as to the dissemination of this disease, but mainly in order to learn where help and Instruction can be given, and especially where the disinfection which Is so urgently necessary when con sumptives die or change their residences has to be effected. Fortunately it is not at all necessary to notify all cases of tuberculosis, nor even all cases of con sumption, but only those which, owing to the domestic conditions, are sources of danger to the people about them. Such limited notification has already been In troduced In various places In Norway, for Instance, by a special law: in Sax ony by a ministerial decree: in New York and In several American towns, which f have followed Its example. In New York, wnero notification was optional at first, and was atterwards mide obligatory. It has proved eminently useful. It has thus been proved that the evils which It used to be feared the introduction of notifica tion for tubtrcucsls would bring about need not occur, and It Is devoutly to be wished that the examples I have named may very soon excite emulation every where. Disinfection. There Is another measure, closely con nected with notification namely, disinfec tion, which, as already mentioned, must be effected when onnsnmntivoc- n change their residence. In order that those wno next occupy the Infected dwelling may be protected against Infection. More over, not only the dwellings, but also the Infected beds and clothes of consumptives ought to be disinfected. Education of the Public. A further measure, already recognized on all hands as effective, is the instruct ing of all classes of the people as to the Infectiousness of tuberculosis, and the best way of protecting oneself. The fact that tuberculosis has considerably dimin ished In almost all civilized states of late is attributable solely to the circum stance that knowledge of the contagious character of tuberculosis, of infection and the consequent greater caution In Inter course with consumptives Is shown by a calculation of Cornet's regarding the de crease of mortality from tuberculosis In Prussia In the years 1SS9 to 1S97. Before 1S89 the averagp was 31.4 per 10,000, where as In the period named It sank to 21.S, which means that. In that short space of time, th number of deaths from tuber culosis was 181,000 less than was to be expected from the average of the preced ing years. In New York, under the in fluence of the general sanitary measures directed In a elmple. exemplary manner by Biggs, the mortality from tuberculosis has diminished by more than 35 per cent since 18S6; and It must be remembered that both In Prussia and In New York the progress indicated by these figures Is due to the tlrbt beginnings of these measures. Considerably greater success Is to be ex pected of their further development. Biggs hopes to have got so far In Ave years that In the City of New York alone the annual number of deaths from tuberculosis will be 3000 lers than formerly. " Now, I do. Indeed, believe that it will be possible to render the sanatoria con siderably more efficient. If strict care be taken that only patients be admitted for whom the treatment of those establish- ments is well adapted, and If the duration of the treatment be prolonged, it will cer tainly be possible to cure 50 per cent, and perhaps still more. But even then, and even If the number of sanatoria be greatly Increased, the total effect will always re main but moderate. The sanatoria will never render the other measures I have ,rf,,r,,0 TrfiTi I TowZr IL t!f thpr i" f mentioned su become great form their functions properly, they may materially aid the strictly sanitary meas ures in the conflict with tuberculosis. Conclusion. If now, in conclusion, we glance back once more to what has been done hitherto for the combating of tuberculosis, and forward to what has still to be done, we are at liberty to declare with a certain satisfaction that very promising begin nings have already been made. Among these I reckon the consumption hospitals of England, the legal regulations legard Ing notification In Norway and Saxony, the organization created by Biggs In New York the sfudy and Imitation of which I most urgently recommend to all municipal sanitary authorities the sana toria, and the Instruction of the people. All that Is necessary Is to go on develop ing these beginnings, to test, and If pos. smie to increase their Influence on the- dimlnutlon of tuberculosis, and wherever nothing hns yet been done, to follow the examples set elsewhere. If we allow ourselves to be continually guided In this enterprise by the spirit of genuine preventive medical science. If we utilize the experience gained In conflict with other pestilences, and aim, with clear recognition of the purpose and resolute avoidance of wrong roads, at striking the evil at Its root, then the battle against tuberculosis, which has been so energet ically begun, cannot fall to have a vic torious Issue. Llvinic in "n Fool' Pnrmll.tc." Americans are disposed to assume that no coalition could ever be formed against them, says Brocks Adams in the August Atlantic. Judging by the past, nothln? can be more certain than that coalitions both can and will be formed against them If they so behave as to make such coalitions wojth the cost and risk. Coa lltions always have been made, under euch conditions, and probably always will con tinue to be made. To be opulent, un armed, and aggressive is to put a pre mium upon them. A coalition of this char acter was, In fact, contemplated In 1S9S, and Is generally believed to have been abandoned only through uncertainty as to the neutrality of England.

Parasols are a decided feature at any riverside function, and very pretty are the hand-painted ones and those of silk and chiffon -with appliques of lace. Some are too elaborate, and combine three or four materials. A handsome model in white Is made with five flounces of lace, each flounce bordered all round with tiny bows of heliotrope baby ribbon placed a few Inches apart The parasol has the effect of being covered with these bows, and across one side Is festooned a trail of shaded heliotrope, blue and pink roses. Boas and neck ruffles are regarded now as indispensable additions to every wartK robe. Delightful ones are being provided to complete the Henley toilets, and among the prettiest are those fashioned of silk petals, poppy and rose blossoms In white or heliotrope being flrst favor ites. Other pretty one3 are of ring- net point d'esprlt. chiffon and tulle, the edges bordered with lace, silk fringe or a ruche of ribbon, or even picked out with tiny flowers, such as rosebuds, daisies and forget-me-nots.

Bosrt ell's nescttlnfr Sin. In the Bosweillan vocabulary there was no such word as reticence, says P. A. Sll lard In the August Atlantic He told Temple of everything of his foolish amour, his excessive drinking, his melan- Cho:" ana hypochondria, his elation and Sc"c 5 thought, emotion or feeling, good or bad. had he that he did not communicate to his friend. The peru sal of these letters can never arouse in the reader respect for their writer. The feeling they create Is best expressed In Cardinal Woolsey's remark: How much, methlnks, I could despise this man. But. notwithstanding all that has been said against him. follies are about the sravest charges that can be brought against poor Boswell. Much that Is to his credit these letters bring to light abundant good nature, true friendship, anxious solicitude for his lfe, and his desire and care that his sons and daugh ters should be well educated. There Is also evidence of some common sense, but not sufficient to warrant his saying that he was "a very sensible-good sort of man." In the letter in which this occurs he tells Temple: "You may depend upon It that very soon my follies will be at an end, and I shall turn out an admirable, member of society." A Week at Henley, 1500.
