For the second time in two days
the White Sox dragged 1be colors of
the farrizozoana in the dust of the
diamond yesterday at Washington
park, defeating them with the lop-
sided score of 21 to 3.
The scores began going up from the
minute the aggregation went to bat
in the first Inning. The way they wal-
loped tuat ball was like listening to
the ratling of a Gatling gun. Finney
and Woolen slammed out long ones
for three sacks and live hits were reg-
istered along with six scores.
In the fifth Berlin made a three
bagger and Hackett a two period one
and six more runs were gathered in.
Berlin and Hackett did two more
three baggers in the sixth and five
scores went up. Carrlzozo got in two
hits and sent a man to third.
The visitors began operations in
the seventh and on two errors by the
Sox scored two runs. The subs and
men on the visitors’ bench threw flip
flaps of joy. It was done after two
men were out. Guthrie gained first
on being hit by the bail. Van Scovck
singled to center and Van rooted on
second. Hall singled to center and
on the throw in from Hackett to
Woolen to catch Guthrie at third
Woolen muffed a bad hail and Guth-
rie loped home. Van was on the
way at the same time and Woolen
slammed the ball home to Finney,
who dropped it and allowed Van
Scoyck to cross the rubber undis-
turbed.
lu the eighth J. Gallacher took first
on a swat in the ribs. Dingwall sin-
gled. Steele drove a Texas leaguer
over behind third, which seemed to
daze Gallacher. who was on second.
He did not get started running his
base until Koolen got the ball and
beat bim to third in a good foot race,
forcing the runner out. Pierson lined
a hot one to Barlin, who handled it
with butter fingers, allowing Visitor
Dingwall to score. Steele tried to
sneak in to third, but after Berlin had
slammed the sphere home Finney
lined it down to third, catching Steele.
That run was the visitors' last, for in
the ninth they went down in one. two,
three order.
In the eighth Casey picked up a
•three bagger and three runs were
made. The summary follows:
Owing to Variable Currents Good
Scores Were Impoaaible—Re-
sults of the Contests.
The El Paso Rifle club held Its cus-
tomary shoot at the Mundy Heights
range yesterday morning.
The weather conditions were very
unfavorable for the making of good
scores on account of strong and vari-
able wind, which blew during all the
morning. There were twelve shoot-

Describes Trip.
"We started from Johannesburg in
the fall of 1907 and went by rail to
Imrenzo Marquez, where we took
steamer north and landed at Mombasa,
which Is the terminal of the railroad
over which Mr. Roosevelt traveled to
Nairobi, near which place he is now
limiting. We, however, went on to
Port Florence, on the east shore of
Victoria Nyanza. At that place we
took steamer and went across the lake
to Entebbe. It wus here that the
real tramp began, in order to avoid
the heat of Hie day we would begin
our marches at 3 o'clock In the morn
ing and walk until 10, when we would
make camp and rest. At 3 in the af-
ternoon the men of the party would
be In shape to hunt. Mrs. Heilman
was usually so fntlgued with the
march that she rarely went on the
hunts.
Tribes Are Friendly.
"The tribes In that district are very
friendly, so we had no trouble with
them. We tramped into the capital of
the Uganda, Kampala, and saw the
work that is being done by the British
government In the mutter of educating
the nal Ives. The country is under a
British government and an attempt is
being made to teach the natives how-
to govern themselves. The so-called
king has a tutor and Is studying Ian
guages, mathematics and such
branches. Under him arc chiefs
who rule tlic various districts of the
kingdom. The council house is a large
building made of wattles and thatch.
Natives of a Low Order.
"Wo were on the march through
that country for seventeen days and
during that time covered 178 miles.
One of tin- beauties of the trip is the
magnificent country and the interest-
ing characteristics of the people. Thoy
are not In a very high state of civiliza-
tion and some of them who live where
tin re is not much fruit don't seem to
have enough to eat. Those who live
where the bananas grow are well fed
and fat. Some of the native tribes
that, we saw were those that, have
not, yet learned the use of clothes,
"We struck Albert Nyanza and took
the boat to Nimull. Here further prog-
ress north by water is blocked by the
great fails and we had to walk around
them to Oondokoro. a little matter of
IIP miles. The Nile boat cap be taken
front tho latter place and one can go
down the river in comfort.
Rai06 Are Torrential.
"Mr. Roosevelt will be enable to
gel out of the country to the north
until next December, for until that
time tho rains about the head of the
Nile are torrential."
"The next time we go," broke in
Mrs. Heilman. “I want to go through
the Congo States country. There is
some wilderness there and some dan-
ger, as the tribes are hostile."
Here to Look at Minee.
'Must at present we are on our way
to Kansas City.” said Mr. Heilman.
1 am at present looking over some
mining properties in Mexico and will
return there as soon as I come back
from the north. No, I cannot tell you
about the milling property as that is a
secret."
Mr. Heilman is a mining engineer
who has been helping to develop thi-
mines of the Rand In South Africa for
(lie past twelve years He was asso-
ciated with the East Rand Proprie-
tary Mining company.
Talks of the Rand.
He says that, the mines of the Rand
are the best equipped in the world.
Each stamp Is putting out from seven
to nine tons per day and there are
about 9,000 stamps in operation. The
working cost amounts to about 14.56
per ton, while the profits are about
$2.50. The stamps used are probaWy
the heaviest in the world, being 1.750
pounds, while tho average stamp Is
usually 1,000 or 1,200. The mines
produce about $150,000,000 per year.

American Celebration on the

Amsterdam. Tuesday, April 20.
Good progress Is being made in com-
pleting Hie ship “Halve Mann," re
cently launched from the navy yard

the people of the Netherlands are
sending as a token of their friendship
for America, Is expected to prove one
of the most attractive features of the

nier president or Venezuela, is re-
ported to be consulting with lawyers
here with a view to bringing a dam-
age suit-against the French govern-
ment for his recent’ expulsion from
Martinique, As the government, has
the power to expel foreigners at its
discretion, Senor Castro, It Is said,
purposes busing ills action on the fact
that he was forcibly placed aboard a
ship at Martinique and compelled to
return to France, without being given
tlte opportunity of choosing his des-
tination.
SAVE MONEY
Now that everybody is interested in
pure water at a nominal cost, wo
make this suggestion; (let an ordinary
well-made cooler, lilt it witlt pure distilled water and put. ft clean chunk of
pure ice into it. In till* way you get tile best and cheapest water In El Paso.
WHY
Ice is made from distilled water, Then, why throw away
the melted Ice? This suggestion—to put the ice in tho
water—will save you from 5c to 10c a day.
