Our NATIONAL CANA correspondent of
! the Turf, Field and Farm writing from Co
lumbus truthfully says tina. Just now, Ohio
has base ball on the brain, for never before
did we boast of so many clubs never be-
| fore,in an entire season, have we had so many
match games as we have already had in
this; and never were our people IN such
a healhy state of excitement over healthy
outdoor sports. Every village of any pre-
tension in the state boasts of its one or two
clubs, and many ofthe cities glory in a con-
steIlation. Notwithstanding the extreme
heat which has been the rule in JulY,match
games have been the order the day, occur
ring many times in connection with pleas
ant excursions, and always exciting atten-
ton and being witnessed By large crowds of
spectators. Among the players in Column
bus are General Comfy, of the Journal, Gen
eral Mitchell and Adjutaut General Cowan.
At Xenia the venerable Coates Kinny, the
poet is a base ball player.

Exrrazres-o-HrAE SUPERIOR.-On We'd
nesday evening August Sth, tie fine, staunch
steamer S. D.. Caldwell will leave Cleveland
on a grand pleasure excursion to Mackinaw
and Lake Superior. The attractions offered
to those who desire for a while to leave
town and take a sniff Of the clear, invigora-
ting air of upper Michigan, see its beauti-
ful scenery, tske a look at its wonderful
mineral wealth, and appreciate the extent
of the mighty inland oceans of fresh water
are seldom equaled in number and variety.
A fine band Of music will accompany the
excursion, and those who have ever trav-
eled on this boat viii remember how boun-
tifully the wants of the inner man are al
ways attended to, while the state rooms, for
which there is no extra charge, are large,
comfortable aud finely furnished. The fare
for The round trip to Lake Superior has been
reduced from $50 and so to $40 and $50.
Parties desiring tickets should apply early
to Garretson / Co.
UsEFUL IN DEATH.-Persons who read our
statement a few days ago that 1908 dogs
had been killed during the last dog-days,
would naturally wonder what is done with
their careasses. They are not made into
sausages as many suppose, but are turned to
e more useful account. The first thing is
to gather them up and cart them away.
They are then skinned, and the best haired
are made into gloves and caps. The rest
Of the skins are tanned and manufactured
in ''goat-skin' boots. The carcasses are
boiled and the fat used in the manufacture
Of the "inest toilet soap or glycerine.
Glue is made from the liquid in which they
are boiled, and phosphorus and manure
from the bones.
HoTEL DE FRAzEE.-A half drunken dis
turber Of the peace was brought into the
Central Police Station last night about II
o'clock. After registering his name he
seemed quite bewildered with the cere-
monies OF the house and earnestly desired
to know where he was. An officer with
great politeness begged the privilege of
showing Monsieur to his room. Monsieur
would like to know what hotel he was in.
On being Informed that it was the Hotel
de Frazee,1 he gracefully accepted the prof
fered escort and retired TO pleasant dreams
in the elegantly furnished chamber No. 3.
His bill Will be presented by Judge Abbey
this morning.
DOUBTED EFFEor-Arsb proverbs are
generally pretty good whether their pre-
scriptious have the same virtue or not we
can't say. Here's one of them ITO cure
sunstroke the Arabs dissolve salt in water
and pour It into the sufferers ears. It is
said to produce speedy relief" Before ap-
plying it in the case ola particular friend,
we think we should first try it on a worth
less dog, cat or SIGH, to see which it would
do the most of-kill or cure.
