fwmm GAME.
6HELTON-PAYNES AND FT. BUSS
MEET THIS AFTERNOON.

What Attend the Game Will Prob-
ably See • Game Wcrth the Time
and Price.
t today, in the City league, there wUl
be a game of ball between two of Its
best teams at Athletic park. The
Shclton-Payne^ and the Port Bliss
team are considered the two foremost
teams In the league and have been
playing some very good ball.
On last Saturday tho Shelton-Paynea
were defeated by tho Smelter team In
a close and. exciting game of ball ar.d
the next day the Port Bliss team was
dofeated in a 2 to 3 game by the T. &
P. team.
This puts Fort Bliss and the Arms
In about tho same class and those
who go to the game this afternoon to
see a good, close and exciting game
will probably get what they went ar-
ter.
The City league was organised
for. t.'he purjyjse pf. giving 131 Paso
‘Tans” some good, fast bail every Sat-
urday and Sunday and to develop
some of the young players about the
town, who had nevor had a chance to
show what was In them, and the re-
sult of the games Chat have been
played has been a revelation to even
the most enthusiastic and sanguine
promoters of the league.
No finer. faBter, closer or better
May ml games have ever been seen on
a local ball diamond than the two
last week—Saturday aud Sunday.
While the City league has nothing
particular to complain of In the mat-
ter of attendance at their games, still
It could be better, and the effort that
the boys are making and the really
gi»d games of hall that they are
playing deserve the heartiest support
of every man, woman and child In El
PaSo who loves tho national sport.
The game will be called at 3:30. The
llno-up for today’s game will be as
follows:
Port Bliss—Titnetl,. o; Krause, p;

TURNING THE RUSSIAN FLANK
THE YALU.
General Kuroki’s superb dash across the Yalu and the marvelous flanking movement of the Japanese right
around the edges of the long Russian line are old news. However, the experts Insist that it was tho most won-
derful piece of maneuvering since the American civil war in the handling of troops on a large scale anil In actual
war. The movement Is clearly shown In Its every detail in the above map. The crumpling of the Russian left
end wag greatly helped by superior artillery with tho Japanese. With equal gun power It Is Improbable that
Kurokl could have crossed at all, or at least only after a terrible Japanese disaster.
18 M’KOON IN EL PASO?
KIDNAPED IN NEW YORK LAST
WEEK, WROTE FROM HERE.
Five Thousand Dollars la Demanded
for the Release of Prominent New
York Attorney by His Captors, So
He Wrote His Friends From El
Paso Last Monday.
Is Judge Dennis Daniel McKoon In
El Paso?
That question was propounded to
every correspondent in El Paso yes-
terday by Now York papers. Even
the chief of police received a tele-
gram from a New York paper asking
If the El Paso police could locate
Judge McKoon.
The missing man mysteriously dis-
appeared from his hotel In New York
on the loth of this month. Nothing
could be learned of ‘his whereabouts
until yesterday, when bis friends re-
ceived a letter mailed In El Paso July
26th, In which Judge McKoon stated
ho was kidnaped on Broadway, New
York, and was being held for ransom
in El Paso.
Judge McKoon Is 7G years of age
and generally wears a long frock coat,
black tie and panama hat. Prior to
his disappearance he told friends he
had received several letters, threaten-
ing him unless he produced $5,000
and now he writes from El Paso that
a ransom- of $6,000 Is demanded for
his release.
Correspondents and officers here
are suspicious that Judge McKon’s
reason is unbalanced and that he Im-
agines he was kidnaped and Is being
held a prisoner. They say ho Could
not have been brought out here
against his will unless ho was drunk
or unable to appeal to any one for
aid.
Yesterday and last night the cltv
was scoured by reporters searching
jfor a clow to the whereabouts of tho
missing man. But Che search was
fruitless.
FEAR FOR LEITER’S LIFE.
Friends Will Try to Prevent Him from
Going to Ziegler.
Chicago, July 29.—Joseph loiter,
who Is on his way hence fom the
cast to his town of Ziegler, where the
Strike of miners in h|s coal mines Is
under way, may remain In Chicago.
His friends are alarmed at the re-
ports that violence threatens In the
barricaded town and will endeavor to
Induce him to give up his announced
intention of going to where the trou-
ble is Imminent.
Reports are to the'effect that he has
lert Washington on his way here. At
bis olfioe here ft is said ills time of
arrival Is a matter of conjecture.
When he reaches his destination ef-
forts will be made by bis friends, as
the result of reports from Zclgler, to
induce Mr. Letter to remain In the
city and not venture near the town,
where it is reported threats have
been made against him by the angry
crowds that are congregating In num-
bers outside the stockade.
Francisco Lerrea, a Mexican official
of high standing In the Mexican re-
public. came up from lower Chihua-
hua last evening and will leave this
morning over the 8. P. for Mt-xicala,
Jg>wer California. Mr. Lerrea Is sent
by the Mexican government to estab-
lish a custom, house at that point.

HOW THEIR RICHES SWELLED.
(New York Herald.)
It seems to have been my fortune to
be associated with men greater far
than I, and I sometimes think this
would be an appropriate epitaph to
place upon my tomb:
“Hero lies a man who knew how to
get around him much cleverer men
than himself."—Andrew Carnegie In
an address delivered before tbc stu-
dents of Edinburgh university.
» « »
While Mr. Carnegie mav have been
paying to the men who have been for
many years associated with him a del-
icate compliment by thus giving to
them so much of the credit of the suc-
cess of the Carnegie steel works, or
may have meant precisely and liter-
ally what he said, it is doubtful wheth-
er his statement will be accepted as
near the exact troth.
Just previous to the announcement
of the formation of the United States
Steel corporation as well posted a man
as James J. Hill expressed doubt that
the negotiations would ever be con-
summated.
“You can buy Mr. Carnegles’ plants,
hut, you can't buy Mr. Carnegie,” be
declared.
The man who has been closest to
Mr. Carnegie would be the last one to
detract from the Ironmaster’s preroga-
tive as the great man of the undertak-
ing. An Instance In point Is that of
his Instructions to Charles M Schwab
to tear down a $750,000 plant which
had Just been completed and to spend
the same amount In building a new
plant.
• • •
Mr. Schwab bad recently returned
from Germany, bringing back with him
a new Invention, which very materi-
ally reduced tho cost of making steel.
Mr. Carnegie at once gave him an or-
der to build a large plant. When It
was about finished the Ironmaster
went to look It over. He saw that
there was a worried look on Mr.
Schwab’s face.
“Isn’t it a success?” he asked.
“Yes; more successful than I had
anticipated.”
Then what Is the trouble. I can
eoo that, something Is wrong?”
"Why,” said Mr. Schwab, "since I
have been building this plant I have
found that at no greater expense a
much better one could ho erected
which would still more reduce the cost
of production.”
"All right,” was Mr Carnegie’s re-
dly; "start It all over again. Tear
down what von have built, and spend
another •’•750,000."
“That's on a reason why Mr. Car-
negie Is a great man," said Mr.
Schwab,
* • *
111 the case of Jar. Carnegie, as In
that, of all tho mart ‘who navo risen to
the first ranlj of prominence, with the
possible exception of James .1. Hill,
him public assoclrffis' the names of
other men with the leaders. This Is
true of John D. Rockefeller, lmt. how-
ever much or little of his success may
he due to the far1 that he has had
associated with himself some of the
shrewdest, men In the country, there
Is every reason to believe that the ex-
ample of Amos Lawrence, a great Bos-
ton merchant of a century ngo. Influ-
enced Mr. Rockefeller quite as greatly
as he himself admitted In an address
before the members of his son’s Bible
class a short time ago.
"It Is true that the reading of the
life of Amos Lawrence had a tremen-
dous Influcheo on my life," said Mr.
Rockefeller at his home fn Tarrytown.
"He was a great and good man—a
very good man—and ho sot an ex-
ample whirh any "mmg man could
read and follow to the best of advan-
tage,”
Mr. Rockefeller was Just returning
home from a day on tho golf links.
Striding along sturdily behind four
caddies, he looked the picture of
health and good spirit*.
• * •
“Was there some particular passage
In ‘The life of Amos lAwrenee’ which
especially Impressed you?” was asked.
"No: at least none that 1 recall
now,” ho said, “but the book as a
whole made a deep impression It Is a
long time since I have read It, you
know.”
"Mr, Rockefeller, do you, like, Mr.
Carnegie, think that vonr success Is
due to the fart that, you have been
able to associate with yourself clever
men?” was asked.
Mr. Rockefeller was evidently sur-
prised. but he did not allow even a
suspicion to appear that he might re-
ply to the question
"No, no, .you mu -t excuse me,” he
said. “I have luM returned from a
hard day and I mu : dress for dinner.
I’m sorry, but you’ll really have to ex-
cuse me.”
