Briiiiant Display shots Instead of the TIE.
dious and uninteresting Nursins-D Defects
In the Ruies-severai Changes Suggested.
The first public game OF billiards under
tho new rules was played last evening by George
Slosson and William Sexton. ut the new parlors
OF the former in Twenty-third street. Mortimer
Humphreys was pressed into service as referee
n position second only in point of downright
hard work and strained attention to that OF
scorer. Nobody seemed to know exactly how
to count the shots. but by dlnt OF studying the
rules at the proper times tho referee managed
to keep the record straight. Even had he moi
done so. his error would not have been dis
covered
From the opening Of the game. which was
800 points up Il was evident that the experts
would have to play billiards to count. and the
result was that the monotony OF rail nursing
was entirely done away with. In its place the
spectators saw series OF brilliant round-the-
table, cushion, draw. and massG shots such as
have seldom grnced public Rame between
American experts. Still. the complications
in the rules. and tho slight understanding
OF them possessed by players. referee and
scorer. gave rise to DELAYS and inspired onlOok-
ers with disgust. IL was claimed that Mt least
with as practically useless and cumbersome,
and the mnrkinR on OF the " crotches." IA
inches on tho short and 2s inches on the long
shots within crotch limits. were quite sufficient
to guard against rail nursing.
In Wow OF former experience II may be safely
predicted that experts after sufficient practice.
will overcome the obstacles Of the now game.
and make runs now doomed impossible
The game Inst night showed somo brilliant
round-thc-table and position play. but tho play
ers had not practised enough under tho now
rules to bring the balls upon tho side rail- tho
only available point for successful nursing. In
lieu Of this thcy devoted theThselyes TO what
may be truly termed scientific billiards. and
showed their perfect knowledge OF English,
cushions. and angles Sextons play was par
ticularly brilliant. being marked by several
beautiful six-cushion shots.
There is u proposition among b.lliardists.
which meets with considerable approval. to make
the expert game game in which there shall
be no simple cRrroms. Should this proposition
prevail the cumbersome and prolix rules. now
sought to be introduced. would be replaced by
game substantially the same rs that now in use.
except that no shot should count in which the
cue ball failed TO touch cushion prior to reach
ing the second object ball. The proposition In

after the PLAYER has made ten points. and let
him play from tho position his ball occupies In

She Don't Talk Too Much

Miss Mary Boddie has resigned her
position as a nurse with the Howard
Association, and will h]enceforth rem
der her services to the sick free of all
charge. Miss Boddie is the lady re-
ferred to by one Of the morning pa
pers as having begged to be relieved
from the care Of q patient that she
might attend an acquaintance, but at
the same time asked to be retained in
the Howard service. Miss Boddie
denies having begged to be relieved or
having expressed any wish to be re-
tanned by the Towards. She was at
tending Mrs. Houck at Buntyn
Station. The lady was conyalescing
and Miss Boddie desired to transfer
her attention to the bedside Of her
friend. Samuel Richardson, on Poplar
street. With this view a colored
woman at the residence, an old family
servant, was put in charge of the
patient. There we're three other How.
ard nurses in the house at the time.
and Miss Boddie came into the city OF
a wagon at 10 o'clock yesterday. Sh'
says she never nursed but two patients
for the Howard Association, and haI

and storm, through times Of prosperity
and times Of depression, the lob printing
department Of the LEDoRR office has been
a axed institution in the building from
where the LEDGER is now issued. In day

ceasing and in the periods Of dullness
work is turned off by piece-meal With
quick dispatch, the workers being always
on hand, and like Oliver Twist, anxious
for more.
AS in days gone by so now the Job

kinds, shades and sizes. They will be

Her last Rest.

In the generous glow of her joyous
youth, Miss Jennie Foster, a bright
flower, was yesterday plucked by the
fell destroyer. She had but recently
completed her education to enter
upon her womanly career with prom
Use of a useful and happy life when
the fever Frustrated, and on the 9th
day after the attack, carried her
from our midst. Miss Foster lost her
father when a child. Her uncle, Mr..
Thomas J. Foster, now at St. Louis,
became her protector, and through
him she received d liberal schooling
under Mr.. Carroll on Poplar street,
and afterward at Huntsville, Ala. A
lady of stately figure and command
ing presence she was conspicuously
noted and loved by a wide circle of
friends, while her uncle fairly dotted
upon his gentle charge. Miss Foster
resided with her widowed mother five
miles from the city on the Pigeon
Roost road, and she was taken i'll
six days ago after visit to friends
at Buntyn Station. Her physician,
DIR. Watkins, exerted his best skill to
carry her throughin safety, and at the
request Of Mr.. Foster, of st. Louis,
had the counsel of DR.. D. D. Saunders,
Of this city. On the third day of her
illness DR.. Saunders found her in a
favorable condition with a good nurse
in attendance and everything propi-
tious. Yesterday morning a note
from DR.. Watkins urged animmediate
visit with a view Of consulting over
her case. Upon reaching the residence
DR.. Saunders was grieved to find the
lady dead, the treacherous fever hay
ing taken a turn for the worse the
night before. Miss Foster was laid
in the grave near her sorrowed moth
er's home yesterday.

Let Them Not be COnfOunded!"
There is SO much said in the papers of
the day about the action Of the constitu-
tional convention of the State of Louis
lana just adjourned, that it is but proper
to notify the public that the condemna-
ton of the scaling of the State indebted
ness in no way affects the management
and the plans of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, which, since its incor-
poration in 1868, has never scaled its
schemes OF postponed its drawings, but,
with strict integrity, has observed its
pledges to the public i~nviolate, and has
hence derived a popularity unheard of
since the days when General George
Washington drew a lottery under the au-
thority of the Continental Congress. to
carry on the War for Independence.
The next-the l12-monthly drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery will occur on
Tuesday, September 9th, and any infor-
nation can be had on application to NJ.
