KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. IS.— Paul won the final game of the sea- Bon with Kansas City today by hit ting their hoodoo, Peter Daniels, at opportune times. Daniels has al ways been an enigma to the Saints, but today they made every hit count, and played a lively, snappy game that deserved to win. Capt. Pickett put Phyles, the Wisconsin amateur. in the box, and he pitched an excel lent game, holding the Blues down to seven scattered hits, and at crit ical times he was most effective. The Saints played an errorless game behind him, while the Blues made three costly errors. Umpire Can tillion's work was very unsatisfac tory, and he was the recipient of much unfavorable comment on the part of the crowd. Kansas City played a very careless game, and seemed to feel that it was only a question of time until they would explode the youngster, but the time never came. The Blues scored one in the first after two men were out on a hit by Connaughton, a steal and a hit by Hines. In the third they scored again on Carroll's single and Hines' double. The Saints scored two in the first. O'Rourke made a hit and reached second on Hatfield's error on Irwin's grounder. Pickett hit safely, scoring O'Rourke and Irwin scored on George's sacrifice. In the third they scored two more on hits by Irwin, George and Burns. In the eighth they cinched the game. Pickett made a home run. George and Burns singled, Bergen and Dan iels made errors, and three runs came in. The features of the game were Carroll's catch of Mullane's drive in the ninth.and Connaughton's work at short. Camp relieved Kraus at the end of the fifth inning, and Mullane played first, Kraus going to right field. The score: Kansas City. A.B. R. 18. P.O. A.

There was all kinds of excitement at the Milwaukee ball park yesterday after noon, and for a time there was dan ger of serious trouble for the umpire. When the Millers went to bat in their half of the ninth inning the score was 11 to 7 in favor of the Brewers. After two men were out Rettger sent the next man to base on base and Werden followed with a two-base hit. Frank, tho new fielder of the Millers, made a long single and two runs came in. Joe Strauss followed the rapid work with a hit, and then stole second base. That was where the whole trouble started. Bolan threw the ball to Sharpe, who touched Strauss out; at least every man. of the Milwaukee team will swear ' to that effect. Cushman called Strauss safe, and then there was a howl from the bleachers. Cries of robber, etc., were heard on all sides, but the de cision went just the same. Werrick Bent a hot grounder to Taylor, who let the ball get away from him. and the next man up sent in the winning run with a single to center field. Had the local team won, everything would have been rosy and nothing would have been said against Cushman. But the tide did not come "Milwaukee's way and in consequence there is sorrow in base ball circles here. The game Should have been won by the Brewers without the slightest trouble, as they had everything their own way up to the fatal ninth inning. It was like falling off a sidewalk Into the gutter and stumbling upon a bag of gold for (he Millers to win. After the. game the crowd congregated outside tho gate and all kinds of threats were made against Cushman. " He remained in the players' dressing room until the crowd had dispersed and then left th"; grounds. One man became too loud in his talk and was ushered to the pob-se station. The playing on both sides was rather rocky at times, but there was enough batting to keep the crowd in good humor. Rettger WHS very effective outside the third inning, when tho Millers touched him up in a lively manner and aided by errors scored Eix runs. That practically won the game for them. Paddy Bolan, who disappeared when the Brewers started on their last trip west, bobbed up serenely yesterday and was placc-"T In to catch. No one knew where he came from, and they appear anxious to find out. It was enough to "know that lie was back. The score: Milwaukee. A.B. T"_ 18. P.O. A. E.

S.— The question depends wholly on where, the second of the runners was when the man between first and second was put out.

Neither ■■ the .

Ladies were quite n-jmev- | j ous in the audience and evinced even j a deeper interest in the result than their escorts. Young Tom Foley made his debut as an umpire, and j ■ he acquitted himself in a very satis- \ j factory manner. There was little I kicking and no wrangling except in i one instance, for which there' was j very little ground. Brilliant" plays j were quite as numerous as in the average professional game; but elev- j en errors by each team, some of them j very costly, rather detracted: from i the good playing. The Groffs batted j somewhat better, on the whole, than j their opponents, but the batting was j done after the Gotzians had 'achieved j a lead of ten. Foran, who started in to pitch for the Groffs, was responsi ble for nearly every one of the eight runs scored by the winners in the second inning. He was wild, and I between giving bases on balls, hit- I ting batsmen and wild pitches, he forced in several runs. After Lea- I man went into the box and Foran was sent to second the latter took a very active hand in the batting 11 and run-getting. And the batting and run-getting.

Omit the second inning, which was full of very yellow playing- by the Groffs, and these two teams are very evenly matched.

At 12:45 p. m. news came over the wires that she had passed Moriches* life saving station. Soon afterward there was a scene of com motion in the harbor. Craft of all kinds were gotten under way to meet and welcome the foreign visitor. Among the first of these to get in motion was the freight steamer City of Bridgeport, with Lord Dunraven's i representative in America, H. Mait land Kersey, and a large party of ! friends aboard. .77- - • Vigilant, in tow of the tender Aero naut, and Defender, towed by her tender, the Hattie H. Aimer, were seen hastening to welcome the for eign yacht. The larger vessels went away outside of Sandy Hook, but the little fellows did not have the cour age to venture far into the choppy sea. The schooners and larger sloops remained in the open until they saw that they would have to give up the opportunity of seeing the English boat. Moreover, sev eral tugs were sent out by. the news papers, and most of these got close enough to the visitor to give her a becoming welcome. The fleet of ves sels was the largest that ever sailed to meet an In-coming yacht. VIGILANT AND DEFENDER. Vigilant was towed down through the narrows to Sandy Hook, passing Quarantine at about 9:30 p. m., and dropping anchor in the Horseshoe. Defender turned westward on leav ing the dock, and went up East river and thence to New Rochelle. It was a long waiting for the boats that went to meet Valkyrie, and for the crowds on . shore, for the whole afternoon wore away without a sign of her. The dock at Quar antine was crowded with people when at 9:30 the word was given that- 1 the English craft was heading toward the upper bay. At 9:45 Valkyrie, in tow, slowly passed quarantine, and was boarded by the health officer. The cup chal lenger looked trim and neat in the glimmering light. On her decks were apparently all the members of her crew. Hearty cheers of wel come were exchanged with the En glish sailors, and then the usual formalities having been complied with, Valkyrie continued her journey up the bay. Off quarantine Valkyrie was boarded by a representative of the Associated Press, who obtained the following STORY OF THE VOYAGE: Capt. W. W. Cranfield said: "We left Gourock on July 27 with a full crew of forty-two men. After leaving Tory island on the 28th, Sunday, we ran into a fresh northwest gale ac companied by high seas, which blew hard for twenty-four hours and then moderated. On Wednesday morning, July 31, it commenced to blow again < from northwest to southwest and it blew hard for five days, when the weather moderated to a light south west wind, which lasted up to Cape Race. There we caught a northwest wind which carried us to Sable island, when the wind became light and left us becalmed at times, and lasting up to our arrival here. We sighted Shinnecock light at noon today and at 6:30 this evening, when twenty miles west of Fire island, we were taken in tow by the World tug C. P. Ray mond, and here we are. We made 3,016 miles in all, and one d*y only made about seventy miles. We never car ried away a rope or yard throughout the voyage." Valkyrie looks a monster; when you step on board of her you can almost fancy yourself on an ocean steamer. Her beam is simply immense and she shows tremendous length. Her bow sprit, for her ketch rig is very short, quite a little spar, and her masts are splendid sticks; in a word she may be labeled "dangerous." Valkyrie will anchor off Liberty island for the night and will be taken to the Erie basin in the morning. Valkyrie's time of passage was twenty one days. A comparison of her trip with the runs of Vigilant and Valkyrie 11. can be made from the following: Valkyrie 11. sailed from Cowes on Aug. 23, 1893,,f0r New York and ar rived Sept. 22, making the trip in twen ty-nine days and eighteen hours. Vigilant sailed from Southampton April 11, 1895, and arrived at Bay Ridge April 29, after a passage of eighteen days. Valkyrie 11. sailed from New York May 3, 1894, and anchored in the Clyde May 28, and in Gourock bay May 31. Time of trip, twenty-eight days. Vigilant sailed from New York June 1, 1894, and arrived at Gourock June 16, making the trip in fifteen days. MORE ACTIVITY IN LONDON. Stocks of All Kinds . Are Firmer Than for Some Time. LONDON, Aug. With a large supply of American and European bills to discount, the markets have been firmer. The business . on the stock market was more active and firmer for almost all the markets except American, which, owing to an anxiety about gold shipments, appears to have elapsed into a stag nant condition. Better weather has had -an improving effect on home railroads. Argentine and South American railroads have also been an active feature. The mining boom has again been forcing up prices for West Australian ventures. Cana dians were active. Erie seconds, Illinois Central, Norfolk & Western and Reading firsts each advanced 1. Lake Shore was down 1. Other movements were fractional. ''Royal Ruby" Rye, $1.25 Quart Bottle. This grand whisky- Is guaranteed absolutely . pure and eleven years old.

KIRK'S mS&y—r Disco very Cap tures the City. - There Is No, One Who Longer - i Doubts That Eos (Elixir of Soap) Does Not Fully Meet All the Re quirements for Which It Was Designed. If there were those in St, Paul who two weeks ago had doubts as to James S. Kirk & Co. being able to offer abso lute proof that their new washlngcom pound would do all that was claimed for it, that doubt has now been dis pelled. The column after column of expert testimony touching every one of the points claimed for Eos has offer ed such absolute and convincing proof that the ' man .or woman who longer questions its merits would be of such a doubting character as to even ques tion the truth that they themselves were alive and breathing. KIRK'S EOS (Elixir of Soap) The many purposes for which it was designed: Eos was designed to be a perfect soap powder, a powder that would do the family washing better than It had ever been done before, with less labor and without the use of a particle of soap. To accomplish such wonderful results the best equipped laboratory in the United States has been bending every effort for years past. We believe the public of St. Paul are fully aware that when a piece of goods passes the crucial test of the chemist in charge of this exten sive laboratory and the preparation emerges from the factory bearing the name and trade mark of Jas. S. Kirk & Co. that It must be as near per fect as modern science can make it. Among the other advantages Eos has over any other washing powder on the world's market today are: That a little Eos in the water makes it soft and velvety. Any one putting their hands in water prepared with Eos will almost immediately exclaim: "My, this water feels like satin!" In washing printed goods a prepa ration should be used that will pre vent colors from running. We guar antee Eos, If used according to di rections, will accomplish this. We also guarantee that Eos will prevent flannels and woolens from shrinking a particle and that If you wash your flannels in water in which Eos is used that they will come out of the wash soft, fleecy and white. For all scouring and cleaning purposes Eos occupies a pre-eminently first po sition. .'.O ! . Use Eos in doing your family wash ing! Use Eos to prevent the colors in your printed cotton goods from running! Us? Eos to wash your dishes and for general kitchen work! Use Eos to scour your milk pans! Use Eos to clean your paint! Use Eos when you scrub your floor, and we again repeat that your work will be done better than it has ever been done heretofore at half the labor and expense. Kirk's Eos is for sale by all grocers —a large package for 5 cents. Try a package and you will never be without it. BALL PLAYERS' WOES. The Work Unfits Him for Any . . ' Clerical Avocation. New York. World. "The worst disease I ever caught was the base ball fever," said the horse car starter, a young man who had evi dently seen better days. "Five years ago I was an expert accountant draw ing almost as much salary in a week as I do now in a month. The ball fever was then at its height and I was one of the many foolish young men who caught it. I joined an amateur nine. All my spare time was spent in practicing, and many a day I went to the office early and hurried up my .work so that I could get off a little earlier, for it wasn't long before the half-holiday once a week proved alto gether too little to satisfy my ambi tion. " ..TV. '-.:.' "In time I became a first-rate player, and then I got stuck on my catching and longed for the applause of the bleaching boards. Some of our nine drifted into the professional arena and I envied them so much that one day when the manager of a league club complimented me upon' my work I seized the opportunity of asking him for a place on the team. Although he offered me only the job of a sub I jumped at the chance and threw up my office work. "I was fairly lucky as ball-playing goes and soon became one of the regular catchers of the nine. Until the gilt wore off I liked it first rate. There was a certain charm about hav ing a big salary all summer and being broke the rest of the year. For three seasons I drifted about from one club to another finding it more difficult each year to get a place, for it was new players that the managers were after. I At last I gave the whole thing up in disgust and tried to get back to my old work, but I could no more do it than fly. Forgot all about figures and ledg ers? No, It wasn't that. See these fingers?" and he held up ten stumps battered out of all human resemblance. "Before I knew what a ball was I wrote the hand of a writing master, but afterward I found I could hardly do nothing where my special knowl edge came into play, and I was forced to turn my hand to the first thing that presented Itself. / "The country is full of played-out base balllsts like myself. I knew men who were once skilled artisans and did work that required a fine hand. Now they are glad to be peddlers and hod carriers." ' *"•'- • As the man rang the pong to start" the next car the hand that went up looked like a huge sugar-cured ham. Reverend Charged With Fraud. THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 18.— The Rev. O. D. Taylor, who for several years has been pastor of the First Baptist church here, was arrested last night on a warrant from Saginaw, Mich., where he is wanted on a charge of obtaining money under false pre tenses. The complaint is based on al leged actions while president of the Interstate Investment . company. He was the projector of a townslte scheme at North Dalles and sold lots all over the East, It is alleged, by false repre sentations. He is also wanted at Buffalo, Rochester and Cleveland on similar charges. Laudanum and Rat Poison. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.— William S. Bernheim, said to be a well known resident of Fort Collins, Col., com mitted suicide in this city at an early hour this morning by drinking a mix ture composed of laudanum, rat poison and whisky. In a note which he left he said that his health had failed, and that he was tired of life. He also said that his life was insured for $11,000. and directed that the money be turned over to his children. . He was found sitting in a chair in his room at a hotel, and had, apparently, been dead for some time. "■ '**■ 'y-77 Earrings Revived. . The fashion of wearing earrings has been lately written against as a re turn to a barbaric taste or a want of taste. Anyhow, earrings have crept slowly but surely back into favor. Some appropriate new place to make use of for the surplus supply of diamonds has, it appears, to be found, although the front of the dress offers a wide field for display. The long pen dant earring, it is dreaded, may, per haps, once more come back into fashion such as our . grandmothers once de formed their ears -with. Netherlands . ladies still wear these unsightly ap- p endages when • they are in - full cos tume, with side plates of gold on each side of tho- head. 5 ADVERTISED.
