Boston-, Sept 13 Pittsburg 501 badly
trounced again by Boston to-day in a game
full of lively batting and at times brilliant
fielding. The element of luck entered largely
into the contest, and Dame Fortune smiled
only on tho Beaneaters. The most popular
feature ot the game was Donovan's desper
ate effort to score for the Pittsburgs. Four
times he went to the bat, and each time a
good clean hit was recorded. Three times
in succession did he dash for the plate only
to be beaded off by marvelous throws from
the outfield. Although the score was very
ne-sided, the contest was lull of interest.
The first inning didn't give the Pittsburgs
much cornlort.
Soran Costly Mistake VTrrt, Made.
The Bostons were booted for no runs, but
the visitors pot a bad do9e of the rattles at
an inopportune moment, and four runs were
scored w ithout the least difficulty, not one
of tbein being earned. Terry did not get
the kinks out ot his arm until he had given
Long his base on balia, McCarthy sent a
hot one which evaded Becklev's clutch,
Bierbauer did well to stop it, bat he had no
time to field it, and both men were safe.
Dully tried to sacrifice, but he sent the ball
directly into Terry's hauds, and Long was
lorced out at second. .Nash flied out
and the chances of a run look
ed very small. Then Terry filled
the baes by giving Lowe four bad balls.
Tucker hit an erratic bonnder which skipped
over Shncart's head nnd McCarthy scored,
leaving the bases filled. Quinn sent a
similar bounder which went over Bier
Sauer's outstretched hands and rolled out
into right field. Dufly and Lowe scored
and Tucker reached third base. Then Tucker
was enabled to score, thanks to Bierbauer's
wild throw to the plate. Nichols brought
the trouble to an end by striking out.
In the Pittsburg's half, Miller flied out
to Long, then Donovan rapped a hot one
which Nash could not reach. He ran down
to second on Smith's fioul fly to Bennett
Donovan's Bold Bna Itnnnlnc.
The latter made n beautiful throw from
the pavilion to bead him ofi, but he was too
late, and the ball taking a bad bound went
"beyond Quinn, and Donovan kept on to the
plate. But Dnfly and Quinn made beauti
lul throws and Donovan's plucky effort
was for naught. The fourth inning saw the
r-ame Pittsburiers again nailed at the plate.
Donovan opened the inning with a clean
drive to center, and Smith larruped the
ball to right center tor two bases.
Everybody chalked down a run
lr " Pittsburg, but Dnfly and
Long retired Donovan at the plate by two
marvelous throws. Charlie Farrell proved
d strong bulwark of defense for Pittsburg.
In the fifth inning, with only one out, Long
end McCarthv hit saiely," Dufly sent a
Eeorcher to Farrell, which was captured,
and, alter Long had been touched out, the
ball was lined across the diamond in time to
make a pretty double play. In the last half
of the sixth Donovan was retired at the
plate for the third time, after Kelly and
Miller had been retired, the latter on a phe
nomenal play by Quinn. Donovan was
cheered when he stepped to the bat in the
eighth inning. The score:

Philadelphia, Sept. 13. "Hello, Jim; I
"mew you would win, I Just made $1,7C0 by
you."
This was the greeting that met Champion
Jim CorDett's ears to-day when the tram ar
rived at Broad Street station. A delegation
from the Philadelphia Swimming Club, of
which organization Corbett is a member,
Kiidaparty of newspapor representatives,
met the special at Chestor, where it pulled
in eighteen minutes latent 12:28. TheCorbett
special was the rear Pullman. Corbett, in
talking to tho newspaper men, sat on the
arm of a chair, and w hen asked to say sonie
tning about the fight said:
"Well, I did something no one else ever
did. I went to New Orlcansand showed that
I was not afraid of Sullivan and whipped
him. I am now going to make all I can out
of it, don't yon see. I am in it not only for
the fighting, but the money. I feel that
there is a lot of money lying around wnit
ing for me, and I am not going to loso any
time getting it. I intend to take care of it
and save it. This aitcrnoon, as soon n I
reach Sew York. I am rointr to send sio.noo
to my lather. As to my future action, I nm
not going to fight until 1 got ready, and then
I mar aive Chariev Mitchell a. olmnp.n t.n
prove who is the better man."
"How about the color line?" was asked.
"I see I hae been quoted as sayine 1
would not fight a colored man," ho replied,
"but that is not so. I have nevirsaid the
first thins about the oolor line. You know I
lought Jackson, and I think the light will
prnvo that I whippud him."
Backer Brady here chimed in, corroborat
ing w hat had been said, and stated further
that he had never said anything about tho
"color line" He was asked why he had
jumped around Sullivan to much, to which
he made answer:
"I wanted to find out what I was fighting.
I was studying him. I wanted to find ont
wnat I was standing up against. Every
time lie made a Jump at me I watched my
chauco and let him have one. I struck the
lirst blow in the second round, and when I
went to my corner I wanted to go for him,
hut Dolanoy held me back and told me to be
cautious, and not take any chances."

Four favorites, one heavily backed second
choice and two long shots, -gave betters a
decided advantage over the bookmakers in
this afternoon's struggle for possession of
the mighty dollar. The weather was
threatening, but the programme looked like
an easy one from which to pick winners
and fully 5,000 people made -the attempt
Banquet, 3 to 5, had to drive from the start
but Taral finally got him up to the front
and won the first race from Lowlander and
Fagot May Win, 1 to 2, had an easier
pasige, he winning cleverly from English
Lady, Dalsyrian and Miss Dixie.
AVhite Rose then gave the bookmakers
an inning by leading from start to finish
and winning the third race at post odds of
G to 1. Ciiekapeike, the 8 to 5 favorite,
finished third to Fred Taral, 6 to 1. Al
though Kingston had a hard race yesterday
with Correction, he, also the mare, was
sent to the post to give Dr. Hasbrourk a
tussle for the Culver stakes. Dr. Hasbrouck
set a clipping pace and had Kingston under
the whip at the end of five lurlongs. At
the end Hasbrouck won somewhat easily by
an open length, at 13 to 10, Kingston being
second at 7 to 10, nnd Correction, 20 to 1,
beaten off ten lengths.
Taral, by desperate riding, took the fifth
race with the Annie F colt, 2 to 1. Doctor,
5 to 1, was the best colt, but Hayward was
uo match for Taral and had' to be content
with second place. Dauonet, 5 to 1, was
fast catching Rosa II, 7 to 5, butDoggett, bv
sheer torce, kept Rosa iu front long enough
to win by a head. Reclare was looked upon

Every racing bicyclist of any prominence is
in tow n to-night preparatory to competing
in the Springfield Bicycle Club races to-mor-iow
and Thursday. Seven hundred and
fifty entries have been received for tho
races. Ou account of the largeness of the
entry list it was found necessary to run off
the trial heats this afternoon.
Forty-two trials were run off at Hampden
P.uk. The men that qualified for the finals
include A. A. Zimmerman, New York; 11. U.
Tvler. Springfield: U. U Wheeler. P. Berlo.
George T.iylor. Curl Hess, George Banker,
Pittsburg: A. E. Lumsden. H. Githens, J.

W. Ehnads, Chicago: E. A. Nelson, Spring
fluid; W. Campbell aud W. V. Wiudlo, New
York; W. W. Taxis, Philadelphia; George
Smith, New York, and others. Zimmerman
had everything his own way in tho heats,
winning his trials handily. It is evident
that Willie Witidlc is uot in his usual form.
Zimmerman is the favorite for the ono milo
invitation race on Thursday, for which the
first piize consists oi a team o hotses and a
backboard wagon. Zimmerman, Tyley,
Windle, Berlo and Taylor aie looked to cie
ate some records.
Carl Hess, tho Manhattan Athletic Club
racer, and L. D. Muuger, of the Chicago
Cycling Club, got into an altercation in the
ill easing room between the beats. Tho lat
ter aicused Hess ot puipooely interfering
with' him in a nice. Hess denied
the accusation in some rather

discussing the prospect of a meeting be

"Paison" -and Lewis wire usauied that
the Coney IUnd Athletic CluV would offer
a pnrso oi $23,000 in tho i vent of the battle
being fought at that clib. The organiza

that it w ill not proceed litther in the matter
until tho representatives! of tho principals
get together and decide ilpon a date tor the
battle. Davies said that bile it is certain a
challenge would be issued in behalf of
Peter Jackson to fight Coroett, it would
not bo done until tho arrival of
Jackson from England text month. "We
do not wish to force Corbott to do any
thing," Davies further said: "He has just
performed a feat no other man has been able
to accomplish, and deserves to reap all the
b.-neflts of the periormance that ho can. All
wo ask is that whon the challenge Is issued
Corbett will give us a pioper reply, and that
I am pretty ceitain ho will do."

THE F0IDRE OF THE MILITIA.

New Tork Times.
The experience of the Pennsylvania
National Guard at Pennsylvania and of the
New York National Guard at Buffalo will ho
of use to the authorities of these States in
ascertaining what their respective organi
zations need for prompt and efficient field
service. Much of the value of regulars in
thesupptession of riots has come, not only
from their prestige and their training as pro
fessional soldiers, but from their thorough
.eqninment and rcti'linessfpr campai ;ning.
'The present summer has snowiT-tnav-tno-organized

these States, oven woro it tho business of
the array to trench upon the province of
local troops In such cases, as it is not. Still,
some minor defects in equipment were re
vealed by this sharp test, nnd these, when
fully ascertained and defined by the olflcial
reports, tho State authorities should
promptly supply.
The part to be played by the citizen sol

PANIC STRICKEN DEP0SIT0ES.

Loxdox, Sept. 13 The crowd of panic
stricken depositors who weio unable to
withdraw their money from the Biikbeck
Bank yosterday bean, to gather at 5 o'clock
this morning before the bank's doors.
When the doors wore opened at 10 o'clock,
the usual hour, long lines had been formed
and the police compelled those in tho lines
to keep their places. As soon as tho bank
opened the payments commenced. Al
though thero is no question that the bank is
perfectly solvent and able to meet any
claim upon it, it will bo lorced to realize
upon more of its securities if the run does
not abate.
As stated, the hank yesterday sold .500,000
in con-olsat 96, and the sale depressed all
Government securities. At the Stock Ex
change, consols opened at 86 11-16 and closod
at 9t showing a rally near the end. If tho
bank is compelled' to make further lorced
sales of securities it will suffer heavily.
Although the directors promised at the
opening of the bank to-day to contiuuo pay

o'clock, its usual Tour. At tho time the
bank closed a placaid was put out reading,
"Open from 10 tilt 4." Tho officials ot tho
bank allege that they are receiving proofs
of returning confidence. Some of the cus
tomers who withdraw their money depos

A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Tho
Present Building Unable to
Accommodate the Pupils.
LOOKING FOR A SUITABLE SITE.
The Fifth Avenue Market Honse Suggested
for the Turpose.
TWO BUILDINGS MAY BE ERECTED.
The Pittsburg High School building is
too small Last evening the Central Board
of Education cousiaerea the pressing ne
cessity of increased accommodations.
Dr. R. Torrence introduced the subject
by referring to the increasing attendance at
the High School, and said more room was
needed. They have three rooms for the
commercial department in the Franklin
School, and will have to get more, and
the academical and normal departments
are full, aud it is only a question
of time until they will have
to get other quarters. A suggestion had
been made which he repeatcl, that the
Central Board secure the Fifth avenue
market house. At a small expense they
could accommodate there the normal aud
commercial departments, the board offices
and have a hall for institute meetings,
commencement exercises, eta They could
sell the Miller street property and get an
appropriation from the city to erect another
story on the present market house building
and fit it up. To this end he moved that a
committee of five be appointed to confer
with the proper officials toward getting the
Fifth avenue market house for school pur
poses. An Kast End Addition Suggested.
Mr. Holmes said he had found the same
crowded condition in the school, but as a
remedy he moved to appoint a committee to
secure a site for a High School addition in
the East End.
Mr. Torrence said the idea in getting the
Filth avenue market was that it was easy of
access from all parts of the city. The pro
posed new bridge would bring it close to the
Southside and it would be hnndy for all.
Mr. Torrence said further that it would be a
saving to the city of over 53,000 per year in
reut now paid for the Central Board rooms
and the rooms iu the Franklin school, etc.
If they took this place the city would uot
be at the expense ot buying a new site
Mr. Holmes thought the market house
would not be large enough and the time was
near when they would have to get a High
School in the East End and one on the
Southside, too.
Mr. Keller favored the market house plan
but at his suggestion Mr. Torrence's motion
was amended to have the committee, in ad
dition to the market house matter, inquire
into the feasibility of securing sites in the
East End and on the Southside.
A Committee to Hunt Sites.
The amended- motion was adopted and
President McKelvey appointed on the com
mittee Messrs. J. O. Brown, D. R. Tor
rence, John Bentz, William Holmes and
tieorge Vllon.
At Mr. Keller's suggestion a commit
tee of six was appointed to arrange for a
suitable exhibition of educational work of
the Pittsburg publio school at the World's
Fair. Those appointed were T. D. Keller,
Hugh Adams, A. ' E. McCandless, Samuel
Harper, GeorgeBradley and John McKain.
The report of the High School Committee
was received recommending the election of
MibS E C. Minor and Miss M. A. Lewis as
teachers in the High School. The recom
mendations were adopted. The tuition tor
non-resident pupils of the High School was
fixed at ?100 for ten months.
The Committee on Industrial Schools re
ported that the school kitchen in the Knox
sciiool will be ready to receive pupils Mon
jlyrip.xi SChey named it the Torrence
kitchen in honor of D. R. Torrence, chair
man of the committee. The school b-itnhen
in the Grant school was named the Phipps
Kiicusu iu nonor oi tienry ti i-nipps, jr.,
who established it. The report of the com
mittee was approved.

TATTOOED HEAD3 AS CTJElOR.
The NewZ-alandera Used to Drive) Profit
able Bargains In That Line,
Pearson's Weekly. --
Visitors to Kew Zealand town?, especially
Auckland, are always invited to buy Maori
curios, which include roughly carved
wooden gods, weapons and imitation tat
tooed heads. It is not so very long ago
since genuine tattooed heads could be pro
cured. They were quite the fashion. Trad
ers from Sydney left orders with the Maori
chiefs they dealt with for so many dozen
tattooed heads to be ready on the return
trip. The chiefs were good" business men,
anxious to carry out their bargains.
Unfortunatelva raid on neighbors did not
always come off successfully, and the tale
of heads fell short. Then the chiefs cut off
the heads of their own men to make np the
J. number. This fact was hroueht to light by
the missionaries, who did much in checking
the excesses of the natives and the villain
ous Pakeha-Maori (white men who adopted
Maori enstoms and lived with the natives).
The traffic in human heiuis was eventually
suppressed by the Uw South Wales Gov
ernment Of course, before they could be sold as
curios the Maori beads had to nndergo a
process of curing or drying. The softer
portions,such as the tongne, were extracted,
and the interior of the skull carefully
cleansed. The inside was then filled with
dressed flax, and the skin hanging from the
neck was closed up, being drawn together
like a closed pnrs. It was then demi
cooked bv the steaming process peculiar to
the people. It was next exposed to the
rays of the sun and at night to the smoke of
a wood fire, which was sufficient to preserve
it for m-my years, with au occasional airing
as a preservative from damp. Heads that
underwent this unnatural process became
remarkablv contracted.

Chicago Herald.
Dante was married to a notorious scold,
and when he was in exile he had no desire
to see her, although she was the mother of
his six children.
Shakespeare lost the sympathies of the
world by marrying Anne Hathaway, a
woman eight years his senior, who was
coarse and ignorant.
Lord Bacon enjoyed but little domestic
bliss, and "loved not to be with his part
ner." Milton was not great in the character of
husband and father. We read that his
first wife was disgusted with his gloomy
house, and soon ran away from him, and
his daughters were left to grow up utterly
neglected.
Moliere was married to a wife who
made him miterable. and Rousseau lived a
most wretched life with his wife.
Drvden "married divcord in a beautiful
wife," and Addison sold himself to a cross
grained old countess, who made him pay.
dearly for all she gave him.
Steele, Sterne, Churchill. Coleridge,
Byron and Shelley were all married unhap
pily, nnd Bulwer and Dickens have been
known by all the world as indifferent hus
bands. Sir Walter Raleigh married a beautiful
girl 18 years his senior, and she adored
him with increasing ardor to the very last
Dr. Johnson's wife was old enough to be
his mother, but "he continued to be under
the illusion of the wedding day until she
died at the age of 61," he being onltf 43.
Shelley's first marriage was unfortunate,

NEW P20DIGY AT FIGURES.
Surprlsln- Tnlent Tor Mnth mitlcs Mani
fested In n French Boy.
"Mathematicians, physicians, anjl philos
ophers have had lately a remarkable op
portunity ot studying a new prodigy. Ife
is a young man of 24 years of age, named
Jacques Inaudi," says Alfred Rivet in the
CJiaittaivpim.
"Last February Mr. Darboux introduced
him at a meeting of the French Academy
of Sciences, where he executed with a sur
prising rapidity mathematical operations
requiring a great number of figures.
Jacques passed his early years in tending
sheep. He wrs about 6 years old when he
first manifested his passion for figures.
While watching his flock, he
combined nnmbers in his head.
Very different from other known calculat
ors, he did not try to give to his compula
tions any material form, such as counting
upon his fingers or using pebbles, as did
yonng-Mondeux and Ampere. Every oper
ation with him was mental and was made
by the use of words.
"He represented numbers to himself bv
their names which his older brother taught
him. Neither he nor his brother at .that
time knew how to read. He learned bv ear
the names of numbers up to 100, and he be
gan his calculations with tin's knowledge.
He does not remember that his brother ever
taught him the multiplication table. These
circumstances of his early life probably ex
ercised over his methods n particular lnflu
ance which we shall notice later.

After Effects of Heat and the Results
of Changing Weather.
Mothers "Wio Now Find it Neesssary to
' Wean Their Infinti
September is as hard a month as August for In
fants. In Chicago last year 1,205 babies died In Au
gust and 1,002 in September.
The ill effects ofthe Intense August heat are far
reaching. Little ones who have had a touch of the
summer disease are often watted from lack of
nourishment, and the impairment of the nutritive
process at a very important time in the develop
ment not infrequently produces scrofula and
j rachltl and ot'ier diseases.
No summer for years has seen so many deaths of
little children In this State, and there was never
more sickness among children In Pittsburg.
As cool weather comes on children require the
most wholesome, nourishing and palatable diet
possible, and tactatcd food should be In the hands
of every mother. Sudden changes of the atmos
phere are dangerous above all things to Infants
whose digestive apparatus is out of order, and the
use or lactated lood, the physicians say. Is espe-'
claily to be commended because of its corrective
influence in cases of Irritability of the stomach.
Then, too, the mother who has tolled through
the summer, trying hard to nurse her child, but.
growing weak and losing Ler own appetite until
she Is nearly worn out, and finds now that she
must wean her Infant, can do It as thousands of
mothers have done before upon lactated food.
Tnc Infant will like it add will grow strong and
happy upon it. Its composition Is simply this: Its
basis Is sugar of milk, with it is combined the
digestive elements of wheat, barley and oats, pro
ducing a pure food which meets every requirement
of the grow-ing child.
There Is no secret about It; it Is the food physi
cians use In their own families and most generally
crescrlbe. ,
