Johnson in the Box Chilly Fischer, who is doing New York and other eastern show-places, sends a clipping from a Washington paper giving an account of Walter Johnson's work in the box against the St. Louis Browns in the latter city on August 14th. St. Louis took the game, 1 to 0. Johnson outpitched the veteran Barney Pelty, allowing only six hits, while the Senators amassed nine: Johnson struck out five, Pelty none. Johnson's one error lost the game. He was given fine support. We quote from the Washington paper as follows regarding the game: "Walter Johnson loses his own game — Idaho wonder outpitches Barney Pelty. Walter Johnson, Cantillon's Idaho recruit, was the one who opposed Pelty, and the youngster was a long way from being outclassed by his veteran rival. He allowed the Browns but six hits, but five of these were clean ones to the outfield. Pelty was caught for nine hits, but seven of the nine were slashed through infielders or bunted where the latter could not get hold of them. Niles and Pelty in particular were bombarded, and Pelty was nearly knocked off his feet a couple of times making stops, or trying to make them. "Johnson showed a lot of gameness and the youngster did not seem to be worried when things were breaking wrong. "On the defensive both teams played a varied game. Taken as a whole, the Browns' fielding was fast and clean, and this was especially true when runs threatened. Two errors were chalked up, and one of them came at a point when it looked like it would lose the game. Jones made the throw in the seventh inning, which filled up the bases, but on the other hand he came right back with a fine play at the plate. Johnson made the error himself."

Johnson made the error himself which gave St. Louis the chance to score its only run, and he was given fine support in the field by his teammates, nothing but a phenominal throw by Ganley in the fifth inning shutting off another run for St. Louis, when Niles tripled and tried to score on Hemphills long fly. Attendance 2300." Johnson was once at bat, and had two assists. Four bases on balls were taken from him. while Peity allowed two. Fischer went to Washington to see Johnson, but the latter was with the team in St. Louis. Saved Seward's Life Pomona, Aug. 16.—Col. George Foster Robinson, retired, the man who saved the life of Secretary of State William H. Seward when President Lincoln was assassinated, died here this morning from pneumonia after an illness which lasted three months. He was 75 years of age. Colonel Robinson was a national figure in army circles. Congress presented him with a gold medal and $5000 cash for bravery in saving Seward, and President Garfield raised him from the rank of corporal to major at a single step, this being the only case on record where this has been done. He was paymaster for many years, and with General Logan organized the G. A. R. He was a high degree Mason and a member of the Loyal Legion. Four years ago he retired, and has been living in Pomona. A Knock "Jimmy," said the father, "there's a rip in your bathing suit. Go and sew it up." Logan organized the G. A. R. He was a high degree Mason and a member of the Loyal Legion.

American Navy Second New York, August 17.—The annual issue of Jane's "Fighting Ships in 1907," one of the recognized authorities on navies, puts the United States second among naval powers, and Great Britain first. The book says: "Both in ships with highpowered guns or impervious to vital injury at long range, the United States fleet is superior to any other navy in the world." Janes characterizes the American navy as an extremely good second.

Lieut. John Selinger and Sergeant Harry Spielman of this city have won the honor of a place upon the state rifle team which on Tuesday left for Ohio to represent California in the interstate contest at target practice. That the local company should thus furnish two members of the team is an honor seldom achieved, and is cause for congratulation among members of the company and their civilian well-wishers alike. Both men participated in the state shoot at Camp Roblar, Sonoma county, the past week, and as indicated in the report in these columns last week both men proved their ability as riflemen during the initial stages of the contest. After the first day's contest Spielman was found to be seventh, while Selinger occupied thirteenth place. In the subsequent skirmish-run Selinger showed his great superiority, leading all contestants by the high score of 302. In this class of firing the contestants shoot at targets distant 600, 800 and 1000 yards, the objects being the figure of a man in crouching and erect position. The contestant runs 200 yards briskly, drops upon his knees, fires five times rapidly, then arises and runs again, firing first at 1000 yards. Selinger is second lieutenant of Company E, and like Spielman is in all respects a well-drilled and efficient Agreement, Entered into in late this 6th day of August, 1907, between Santa Ana River District company, a corporation, the city, and Anabeim Union Water Company and Santa Ana Valley Irri-company, corporations, secondESSETH, First: That the first hereby agrees to furnish and de- the second parties all the wa- the Santa Ana river to which it led by virtue of the recent date by it from the second parties Durkee ranch and other lands lying on said stream, excepting so said waters as the first party fit to use upon any of its said for a period of five years from June.

Embarrassing. New York judge, speaking of a that had been made, said: "It have been embarrassing—as em- as the position of a young Toledo whom I heard about the day. He had been calling now on a young lady, and one he sat in the parlor waiting to come down her mother en- score of 302. In this class of firing the contestants shoot at targets distant 600, 800 and 1000 yards, the objects being the figure of a man in crouching and erect position. The contestant runs 200 yards briskly, drops upon his knees, fires five times rapidly, then arises and runs again, firing first at 1000 yards. Selinger is second lieutenant of Company E, and like Spielman is in all respects a well-drilled and efficient guardsman. Both are modest and retiring in disposition, and their friends are of opinion they will give a good account of themselves on the other side of the rockies. In qualifying for the state rifle team both men achieve an ambition which actuated them for a long time past. Both competed for a place on the team last year. and it was a sore disappointment to them to miss the team, when it seemed each was about to win a place upon it. A despatch from Petaluma, near which point the shoot occurred, gives the following official report of the contest: Petaluma, August 16.—The final series of the try-out contests for places on the California State team which goes to Camp Perry, near Fort Sheridan, O., to participate in the interstate shoot with state militia and United States troops closed today at Camp Roblar. Coach Lee announced that the California State rifle team would be as follows: Private Newlands, Lieut. Butter, Corporal Koff, Private Johnson, Corporal Gouldner, Corporal McKelly, Lieut. Selinger, Lieut. Sanborn, Lieut-Johnson, Lieut. Higgins, Sergeant Marshall, Sergeant Lewis, Sergeant Loop, Sergeant Cameron, Sergeant O'Rourke, Sergeant Vall, Corporal Becius, Sergeant Spielman, Private Stafford, Lieut. Campbell, Sergeant Incovore. Private Newlands of Redlands led the entire team in shooting. LETTER FROM SELINGER. Capt. Stern telegraphed congratulations to Selinger upon hearing that he had qualified for the team.

He says that Coach Lee is especially pleased with the team's skirmish shooting. Selinger adds, in the humorous vein which is an inseparable part of his make-up: "If you see my mother tell her what a great son she has." Sure! SPIELMAN HOME. Sergeant Spielman returned from the north this week, and will not accompany the team. Spielman's marksmanship is of a high order, but was nosed out at the finish. Louis Denni, one of the best known dairymen of the Los Alamitos section, was in town yesterday. Prof. Enfield, formerly principal of the Loara school, goes to Patton next week to take a position as principal of the schools there. Frank Mayers of Reno, Nev., who is spending the week with friends here leaves on Saturday for Stanford to resume his studies at the university.

Story of a Loan That Brought Success and Wealth. When the outlook was the blackest this indomitable captain of men, Marcus Daly, had exhausted his recesses and his credit a fortunate acce- placed in his hands a small but silent sum of money to transform table defeat into certain victory. And Tevis, the California lawyer, and mining partner, J. B. Haggin, who been visiting their properties at Westake, stopped at Butte on their home to California to take a look at new camp. Marcus Daly knew hers. Haggin and Tevis well, for he worked for them in the old Californias. He visited them at their not the gorgeous palace of gran-marble, precious onyx and mahog-which adorns Butte today, but a older wooden structure more in-going with the squalid surroundings in new camp. In Haggin's bed, the only place available for a late conversation, Daly made a breast of it to his friends and asked to them for aid, explaining theory fully and citing many ad- dual facts which had developed dur- is mining operations in Anaconda went to strengthen it. Was thoroughly characteristic of man that he did not attempt to over the terms of the loan, but merely the facts and closed his relations with the words: "Now, men, that is a correct statement the situation of my affairs and the intention of my mine. I must have 100, and I must have it at once to next Saturday's payroll and cur-bills and to provide for the ex- s of operation for another six us or so. If I do not get it I am broke and will have to close up. I told you what I have got and I think and what I think I am to get when that shaft is down over 100 feet or so. Make your own but let me have the money." Gave him the $20,000, and, of course, being astute business men, a act was drawn up and signed then Weapon Was Loaded A bullet-hole in the front window of Frank Nemetz's second-hand store at Emily and Center streets shows where the coroner narrowly missed a job on Saturday. Nemetz sold a 38 revolver to a customer on that day and after procuring the change for a $10 gold piece was asked how it worked. The weapon was unloaded at the time of its sale, but during Nemetz's absence the customer inserted several cartridges. "How does this thing work, any-how?" he inquired. Nemetz took the weapon, and saying: "Like that," snapped the trigger. The ball passed in imminent proximity to the man who stood eying the operation. It missed his vitals by an inch or two, and sped through the glass of the front door and an outer window. Frank Borth picked up the bullet near Mr. Clabaugh's residence, two blocks away. Betrothals In Holland. In certain parts of Holland when a young man thinks he loves a girl he asks her for a match to light his cigar at the door of the beloved one's home. This is done to let the parents know that something is intended, and if the visit is repeated and the same thing occurs no doubt is left in the minds of the girl's parents, and they immediately proceed to investigate the young man's character and antecedents. When he calls a third time, they are prepared to give him an answer. If his suit is looked upon favorably, he is given a match. If refused, he produces his own match, lights his cigar and walks away. If a favorable answer is given, he steps forward and joins hands with the girl. While the engagement is by no means a settled fact even at this important stage, it is stated as a truth that if, on the occasion of the young man's third visit, his inamorata offers him a second cigar and he smokes it in the house the engagement is never canceled. next Saturday's payroll and curb bills and to provide for the excuses of operation for another six days or so. If I do not get it I am broke and will have to close up. I told you what I have got and I think and what I think I am going to get when that shaft is down over 100 feet or so. Make your own but let me have the money." gave him the $20,000, and, of course, being astute business men, a fact was drawn up and signed then there transferring to them the coning interest in the property. But the date of his death Lloyd Tevis was declared that, though he believroughly in Marcus Daly's integboth he and Mr. Haggin thought he was chasing a chimera, that the man upon the elaboration of which Daly had spent so many sleepghts and all his substance was obvious and that no gold-copper dewould ever be discovered in the hills of Butte mountain. In fine, Tevis let Daly have $20,000 because they liked him. They certainever dreamed that Anaconda prove a more veritable bonanza the Comstock lode. As for Daly, he never doubted his ultimate succeed when three months after that king in the hotel bedroom the main of Anaconda penetrated, as he had believed it would, the richest most extensive gold-copper deposit known world he conveyed the ince to his partners in California most matter of fact telegram: have reached it.

Perhaps the queerest city in the world is that of Nang Harm, the home of the royal family of Siam. This city's peculiarity lies in the fact that it is composed of women and children alone. It is in the center of Bangkok, has high walls around it, and in its population of 9,000 there is not a single man, though the king occasionally pays a visit. The name Nang Harm means "velled women." There are shops, markets, temples, theaters, streets and avenues, parks, lakes, trees and flower gardens, a hall of justice, judges, executioner, police, generals and soldiers, all the positions, official and otherwise, being filled by women. The only man in all Siam who can enter this city is the king. It is the home of his family and of the family of the king before him. The ruler of Siam may have as many wives as he pleases. Each wife has her own children and slaves—therefore a small city is needed to provide accommodation for them all. For Sale! ALFALFA HAY Absolutely Clean.
