SiIASTAS.
STARS.
INNINGS.

Umpiro-Sam. Waring, Of Shasta 3. b. c.
Scorors-Wm. A. Pryor, Of Shastas; Jas.
Docilery, OF Stars.
Time Of Gamo-Throe hours and thirty-fye
minutes.
As the above score shows. the Stars
were largely victorious, while the Shastas
were disastrously defeated. The adyan-
tage Of our boys lay in playing on their
own ground, with which they were per-
tectly familiar, having red dead ball,
such as they had played with before, hav-
ing practiced some together, and being
well up in the late rules Of The game. On
the other hand, the Shasta bows were on Il
strange ground, they had always been
accustomed to playing with white live
ball, had never practiced their full nine
together, and had but little practice at all
this season. One Of their best players,
Harry Durfor, fell, the day before the
game, and hurt his shoulder rs we'll rs
spraining his ankle, rendering him unfit
for service, and his place was filed by n
substitute. On the Sd inning Caldwell, lst
Base, had thumb put out, and his place
also fell to a substitute. The Shastas were
also considerably discouraged rs it was
plain from the start that they would be
badly beaten and of course they could not
play SO well as if the game had been
nearer even. The Stars made good
start and kept it up through the game,
doing better playing than ever belore.--
For II Club that has only bad two months
practice, they certainly play an excellent
game. Mr.. Waring, the Umpire, gave
good satisfaction, and was complimentcd
for his prompt decision in points. At the
close of the game, the Shastas were first
cheered and then the Stars. The boys at
once fraternized, and returned to town in
good humor-the Shastas standing their
defeat nobly, while the Stars wore their
laurels in becoming manner. Having
defeated the Shasta boys, too much could
not be done for them. They we're COR
daily invited by the Stars to attend the
Dance in the evening, which they accept
ed, and both clubs attended in uniform,
most of them remaining to see it through.
At 4 o'clock, on the morning OF the 9th,
the Shasta boys started for home, feeling
we'll satisfied with their reception and
promising to do likewise with the Stars,
whenever opportunity offered, although
they were free to admit that they never
expected to beat the Stars IN a match
game. In their own language they came
expecting to get beaten, but not so badly.
However, all preferred to be beaten shame
fully rather than that there should be any
throwing off The Stars, Of course, felt
glorious over their victory, but were as
much surprised at its magnitude as was
any one else The best Of good feeling
prevailed among all the boys, and they
parted as they met, the best Of friends,
though much better acquainted. The
Shasta boys are whole-souled, jovial lot,
we'll behaved, and Of a cheerful, friendly
disposition, who certainly deserved bet
ter fate. There is not one OF the 1st Nine
of the Star B. B. c. but would be glad to
meet them again, under circumstances
which would give the Shastas victory.

SCARLET FEvER.-This dreadful dis
ease seems to have been confined to the
family Of F. w. Young, so far as Wea-
Yerylile is concerned, no new cases having
been reported in town. All Of Mr..
1oung's family who were affected had
recovered, and it was thought that little
frankie would escape, but on Monday
last he was taken down, the disease in his
case assuming the most malignant form,
from which he died on Thursday after
noon. The funeral will take place from
lne family residence, this (Fridny) after
noon at 8 o'clock. One case of scarlet
lever Is reported at Indian Creek, in the
family Of Mrs. Morris.

irlormed that should Mr.. Majors become

INGENIOUS RAsoALTFY.

Fhs Way Bogus Insurance Companies
OpOlate-A Ready Market for stolen
Bonds.
The Secret Service Division has IN
earthed and broken up gang OF thieves
who have been working In conjunction
with several bogus insurance companies
for the purpose of defrauding the pub
lie.
Last fall George F. Wilt, of the Safe
guard Insurance Company, of Philadel
phia, was arrested for having in his
possession a S5, 900 United States Reg
istered Bond, which had been stolen
from the Glen Fails National Bank
The name OF the payee had been erased
and q new name substituted.
Wilt had 800, OOOof these bonds which
had been shown to the Insurance Com
missioner of the State, and succeeded
thereby IN getting this certificate rs TO the
soundness Of the company. The Secret
Service took hold of the matter and in
duced Wilt TO turn States evidence,
and he disclosed the fact that there were
q regular gang of thieves, whose trade
has been to supply bogus insurance
| companies and companies with no cap
ital, with stolen bonds upon which TO
conduct business.
On Saturday Wishalt, leader OF the
gang, was arrested IN New York, and
thirteen other members of the gang
were to have been arrested yesterday,
| Ohicers of the Secret Service Division
say that one result Of their inyestiga-
ton viii be to expose a number OF in.
surance companies whose entire capital
/ consists OF these stolen bonds.

sational books fifteen years ago was
Prof. J. II. Ingrahau, whose 50 called
religious novel, The Prince Of the
House Of David reached the enor-
nous sale Of one hundred Thousand
copies. One day Carleton, the publish

Ingraham called upon him with a singu-
lar proposition. He offered Carleton a
new book at a pretty high price, some
thing like ten Thousand dollars, one
third OF which must be paid then IN ad-
vance and the remainder at intervals
after the book was published. Upon In
auiry as t. the nature Of the book, it sp

He Was Bound to Have a Kite-string,

One day last week, little boy, who
had been standing for some time in
front of drug store in Baltimore, en-
viously eyeing large reel, well pro vided
with " simmy dimmy" twine, as the
boys call it, which was fastened TO the
top of the counter, summoned up cour-
age enough to walk in and ask for a few
yards with which to fly his kite. The
doctor bears the reputation of being
a good-natured man, full of humor, and
very fond of the little ones, but the
youngster approached him at a time
when he was out of his usual mood, and
he consequently gave " N" " for an an
swer. The urchin had made up MS
mind to have some of that cord any how,
and he got it. On Thursday morning
the boy entered the store, accompanied
by another boy and a dog. Boy No. 2,
having placed bottle on the counter.
demurely asked for five cents worth of
siEup of squills and pollygolhc, and
while the doctor was filing the order,
boy No. I was tieing the end of the
cord to the dogs tail. When the man
of medicine returned TO the counter,
the reel was flying like fury. The doc
tor quietly reached for a pallet-knife,
and havir & hung himself over the coun-
ter, made desperate whack at the era
MUM of the youngster, who he supposed
was sitting on the feor helping himself.
But, 10 the boys and the dog Bouncer
we're not there. The doctor having
tried in vain to stop his reel, was obliged
to give it up on account of the heat it
communicated to the palm of his hand.
When he reached the door he bsheld
the boys upon the sidewalk about two
blocks of, and Bouncer. in the middle
of the street going at the rate of forty

rectlv toward his tail. The reel con-
tinued to spin for some time afterward,
