! THE CHICAGO TEAMS FIRST GAME
OF the present season was played ut the White
| Stocking Park Yesterday iu tho presence OF a
few hundred enthusiastic and bcnumbed spec
| tators, who were treated to IN exhibition on
! the part Of the professionals that greatly ex-
| -ceeded in point Of merit anything that their
friends had looked for. It has not been the
custom of this paper to bcstow undue praise on
II nine, especially in Its first game,
but the boys yesterday did go we'll at
every point that commendation comes
Of itself II truthful resume of the
playing is given. Larlin Is laid mp with sore
face, anu hfs place as pitcher was taken for the
first two innings by Hankinson, Flint catching,
after which Williamson and Harbidee passed
the ball, "Wlly's" appearance back Of the
home-p!ate being greeted with a round Of ap-
plausc.
The new men Of the nine attended to every
thing that came their way In nrst-class style,
Quest and Gore being especially active, while
their batting was simply terrific Indeed, all
the men hit we'll, most Of the balls being low
liners; and this was against tirst4c1ass
pitching. Peters looked natural ut short,
and put out three men nicely,
assisting twice at first base Both Hankinson
and Williamson we're effective in their delivery
Of the ball, md Flint and Harbitige showed by
their work that the Club will not be weak be-
hind the bat this season. Dalrymple misjudged
one fly, and Anson made couple OF fumbles at
first.
The feature of the game, however, was triple
play in the fourth inning, and the most cxtrnor-
dinary circumstance connected With it was the
fact that during its accomplishment the ball
passed only between the pitcher, catcher, and
first baseman. At the time OF the play Furlong
WAS on third Bowdecker on second, and Sits
Oh first. Clark hit to Williamson, who passed
the ball to Harbidce, forcing Furlong. Tt was
then sent to first in timd to head of Clark, and
returned home like shot by Anson, Bow
decker being caught in the attempt to come in
from third. Tic other features Of the game,
including the batting and errors, will be found

The Lime. Kiln Club on White wash.

AT the last meeting of the Lime.
Kiln Club, the Secretary laid before the
meeting a communication from the
Board of Health of Jersey City, asking
what sanitary benefits the club had
noticed from the use of whitewash, and
the members were invited to relate
their experience.
sir Isaac Walpole said he knew of a
case where a certain family were al
ways having the mumps. One coat of
white wash on the kitchen ceiling, at an
expense of only forty cents, drove the
disease away and made the family one
of the healthiest in the city. The cure
was so marhy., and the benefits so ap-
parent, that the man afterward hired
Mr.. Walpole to whitewash the parlor,
and cheated him out of his pay.
The Hon. Primrose said he once
knew family who were greatly
troubled with headache and cold feet.
After spending fifty dollars for patent
medicines they hired him to whitewash
bedroom, and all was joy and peace.
He had to take his pay in old clothes
lines, but the cure was there just the
same.
Waydown Bebee stated that he was
once consulted by family troubled
with the ague. He advised coat of
whitewash ON the fence, and only
seven pickets had been whitened be-
fore the man was able to get up and
walk to the window to see q dog-fght,
and in an hour the wife was down town
overharling goods.
The Rev. Penstock knew case where
q family cured consumption by white
washing the barn, and Of another where
a citizen had his chambers white
washed on Saturday and found fifty
dollars in cash on the street on Mon
day.
The Secretary was instructed to an
swer the board to the effect that every
barrel of lime used as whitewash CT
sets the labors of at least three doctors,
and that no respectable family should
be without it.
N. B.-The prices for whitewashing
in Detroit will remain the same.-De-

Spending Other Peoples Money.

YOUNG men holding positions of
trust might profitably study the case
of Arthur c. Jennings, who. for eleven
years, was the cashier and book keep
er Of Mr.. James Lynch, a New York
wool broker. While the employer was
living prudently, and carefully laying
aside trifle each week in preparation
for probable day of adversely, the
gay cashier was INDUCING in extrava-
giant expenses. living like a prince,
and entertaining companions who only
valued his acquaintance because he
was willing to entertain them as
lords are proverbially supposed to en-
terrain their peers. For eleven years
young Jennings and his associates had
what they deemed "a glorious time,"
chiefly at the expense of the too trust
full Lynch. who only lately became
aware that there was a leak some
where, and was as much surprised as
any one when it became evident that
Jennings controlled the leak. The
discovery was then made that during
the term just stated the fast cashier
had, at various times, distracted sums
amounting in the aggregate to over
sixty thousand dollars. The arrest of
Jennings was quickly succeeded by his
conviction, and sentence to lmprison-
ment for a period of eight years.
The generosity of the prisoner, and
his desire to entertain his friends
sumptuously, were cited as reasons for
clemency, but fortunately without eff
feet; for it would be an unwise precc-
dent to establish that it is considered
only trivial offense for man to steal
his employers money when he intends
to generously spend it upon his friends.
Some men -unprincipled politicians,
for example-achieve a reputation for
liberality by spending other people s
money, and any person who steals the
money he spends, can afford to throw
it around recklessly. Now, while the
fool Jennings is endeavoring to be-
come accustomed to prison fare and in
the loneliness of his cell has the OPP
portunity for quiet deliberation, and
INDUCES in unavailing regret, his for
mer acquaintance, on whom ne law
ished the money which did not belong
to him, are probably seeking other lib
eral friends who may be inclined to
gorge them with sumptuous dinners,
at the expense of unsuspecting employ
ers.-N. Y. WeekLv.

How the Girls Father Saved $500.

A YOUNG man who had long and
dearly loved beautiful girl on Warren
avenue. besought of her recently to
name the happy day. which she did
with such fond, reluctant delay that
it would hardly have been thought
that she had made up her mind what
the date was to be more than two
months before, so soon as she saw that
he really meant biz. They accordingly
waited upon the author Of her being,
and. going down on their knees, 40
quainted him with the lay of the land,
and besought of him his blessing. He
was q practical and economical old
man, with q mind fertile of resource,
and when the young man had stam-
mered that he loved her dearer than
his life, and had asalary of 81, 800, and
that he hoped-the old man caught up
his trusty Toledo co., walking stick,
and, calling his prospective son-in-law
many hard names, drove him out of
the house; then selling his daughter by
her tiny shel-lac ear he awayed with
her to the deepest bedroom beneath the
attic roof, and locked her in there.
What was the consequence That very
night q young man came with rope
ladder, an ample cloak, and q mar
riage-license, and stole his bride away,
and they were made one at West
Side Church. The young wife then
said to her husband, "Algernon, my
father behaved toward you as mean as

Difference for him, 80 let us 60 to him

A Very Remarkable Case.

ONE of the most startling and sensa-
tional disclosures ever made in court
was made in the Criminal Court this
morning. 1t is a case of embezzlement
that is only approached by that of
Angel, and took much less time for
disposition. The first knowledge of it
came to the Grand Jury yesterday aft
ernoon, when Lucien zoe, Charles YOe
and Peter zoe, formerly in the whole
sale boot and shoe business on Mad ison
street, gave information against Edwin
Harris, their former book-keeper and
cashier, charging him with stealing
very large amount of money, and ac-
tually impoverishing and driving them
out of business. An Indictment was
speedily found, ard Harris was arrested
this morning in his store on Lake street,
where he had established himself in
business with the money taken from his
form employers. When the bailiff
came, and informed Elm of his errand,
he said, Cali right, I'll CO." Taking
his hat, he went out of the office, not
telling anybody of the trouble. He was
taken to the Criminal Court, and at
once demanded of the States Attorney
q hearing. saying that he would plead
guilty and wishing to be sent at once to
the Penitentirv. He did not care what
became of him. and could not, he said,
face his friends and people that knew
him, after such a fearful disclosure. A
CODY of the Indictment was at once
made out, and handed to him. Other
business OF the court was stopped, and
MIR. Mills informed Judge Booth that
prisoner desired to plead guilty. He
was charged with larceny and embez-
element. The usual formal manner of
arraigning was gone through, the
Court asking Harris if he understood
the penalty. Harris replied that he
did, in very quiet manner. He had
abandoned all hope, and threw himself
ON the Court Mr.. Mills then asked
Mr.. l.. G. Voc, the principal witness,
to state the facts to the Court. Mr.. Voc
then made stateme mt, which showed
Harris course to be almost without q
parallel.
He went into the employ of the firm
of Voc & Co. in 1871, at a salary of
$500 a year, which was afterward in
creased to $1,000 on account of his
competency. Several years later the
firm was changed to McAuley. Voc 4
Co., who continued in business until
May, 1873. when they found it was i'm
possible to continue longer, on account
of their enormous losses. The old hrm
was succeeded by McAuley, Dyke &
Co. In settling the books few days
ago, a discrepancy of 800 was discov-
cred. and later another for the same
amount. Mr.. L. G. zoe was called
upon for an explanation. which he
could not give. He called upon Har-
ris, who came over and said that he
could not understand it. A day or SO
after he met Mr.. Voc on Clark street,
and said that he desired to speak to
him. They went around to the Office
of Brewster d Co., ON Washin gton
street, and then Harris came out In
plain language, stating that he was =
