MATCH GAME AT THE sCHUETzEN PARK
THE CHAMPIONS DEFRAr THE AR
CHER CLUB, oF PHILADELPHIA.
At the Schuetzen Park, yesterday
uternoon, q match game of base ball
Xas played between the champion
guicksteps, Of this city, and the Ar
cher club, of Philadelphia. The game
was close and exciting, and was mark
ed BY fine exhibitions Of close fielding.
and some good batting ON both sidea.
Ihe Quicksteps, however, excelled
heir opponents at the bat, and in the
completeness of their work in the field.
Ia the sixth inning fight wsskicked
up at the judges stand where a beer
par mad been temporarily established.
This created SO much disturbance and
distracted the players in the field to
such an extent that the visitors, who
we're at the bat, scored six runs. when
they should have been retired with q
cipher. THIS tied the game, but the
Quicks, by hard playing, kept their
opponents from getting another run.
and by scoring one for themselves In
tne ninth inning, won the game by the
close score OF to 8. Annexed Is the
score by
INNINGS:

minutes.
Tomorrow afternoon, at the Park,
the Maple Leaf club, of this city, will
play the Keystone club, of Philadel-
phia. The game will doubtless prove
interesting.

TREASURE CRY, March %, 1919.
ED. NEWS I have nothing that is startling 70
write you. After being without water for drink
ing and cooking purposes for some two weeks,
the White Pine Water Company have again got
their tanks filled, and we now have an abund-
ance of water at ten cents per bucket.
The Eberhardt & Aurora Company is working
full force of men, and have commenced to put
up a new gallowsframe the shiv arrived q few
days ago by Pritchard's fast freight teams, and
there is a large force OF carpenters now at work.
Teams hauling ore to the Eberhardt mill are
making their regular daily trips. The roads are
in good condition again. the snow having nearly
disappeared.
Sunday next being Easter Sunday, we are to
have preaching by Rev. j. Walton. The CHOIR
have been practicing for the occasion for the
past two weeks. Everybody is invited to attend.
IT ia generally understood that the Treasure
City Glee Club will give an entertainment for
the benefit of our public school in a short time,
and 1 think the intention is to wind up with q
social dance.
There are not more than a dozen idle men in
the camp, and they are promised work at an
early day. Times are getting quite lively for
the Hill. Sheriff Raum came up yesterday and
commenced to put notices upon several build
ings, to be sold under an execution issued out OF
the District Court in 1871. Since that execution
the property has been sold, deeds given, and re-
corded over a year ago. The party now holding
the deed is an "hones MINER" who paid his
money to keep the old folks from starving, and
now the old folks order the property sold under
the said execution. Bad blood exists.
Harlow Thomas, our gentlemanly stage man,
is out of sorts this week, for the reason that some
of Hamilton's fair sex said he was no gentle
man." because, when the two sleighs met, he
would not turn over his sleigh and passengers,
and thereby save them the unpleasantness OF
being tipped into the snow. Twas enough to
make the ladies say Harlow was "no gentle
man."
There is a grand party going on at McElroy's
Hotel this evening. All the ladies and children
in town are there, and they are having a nice
time The hotel boarders feasted on a turkey
dinner to-day. What occasioned this blow

This is topic that lakes the atten-
tiOn of British sanitarians to the ut
most. The extent of the difficulty is
certainly alarming. Nor is it caused
solely by the sewage of cities and towns,
bad as that ia. The rivers are lined
with manufactures of all sorts, chemi-
cal works. machine-shups and dye
houses. all of which pour their poisonous
refuse into the rivers. Aud 80 great is
the pollution of the water in some in
stanc-s that when a light was applied
to some of it dipped from the river at
Bradford it actually burned. A man
who accidentally tumbled into a river
and swallowed q mOuthful of water died
from the effects. The effiuvia that rises
from the Clyde produces sickness in
summertime. and the Mersey emits an
unbrarable stencil. The water of the
Bourne is yellow IA Ochre and thick as
glue, and the horse that drinks it dies.
And all the rivers are more OF less
affected in the same way, and the fish
that survive in some of the streams are
sO unwhOlesOme that they are unit for
food, If not dangerous. The govern
ment looks at the difficulty, but seems
hardly to know what to do in the face
of ancient usage. The question has a
double aspect. The sanitary problem
claims first attention. People must live.
To poison the rivers Is to destroy life
by the Wholesale. But this waste of all
the sewage and other matters that are
needed for fertilizing purposes is point
