Base Ball and Beer.
From the Boston Globe.

A party of young men belonging for
the most part in Somerville took rather
novel way of celebrating the Fourth.
After much debating it was agreed that q
friendly game of base ball should be
played, and it was also agreed that a bar
rel of beer should grace the occasion.
The barrel was to be. placed near the
third base, where it would be served out
to those only who succeeded in reaching
third. Each player carried tin dipper
at his belt. At II o'clock the barrel was
rolled into position, and the game. COM
menced. In the first inning only one
man tapped the barrel, but in the second
three succeeded in reaching the coveted
point. The next inning began and end
ed before man from either side won his
beer. Thus the game proceeded, while
crowds of spectators loudly cheered each
player who made successful run to
third. Some finding every effort to reach
the left corner bag unavailing began to
run the bases the other way, but this was
promptly vetoed by the umpire. After
the seventh inning 1t was found compar-
atively easy to reach third safely, for
many of the players found it difficult to
select the right ball out Of the five or six
which they thought they saw coming to-
ward them.

Charles Haywood Stratton, better
known as Gen. Tom Thumb, died at his
residence Of apoplexy on the 18th inst.
He had been slightly indisposed for a
few days. but nothing serious was antici-
pated. The remains will be taken to
Bridgeport for internent. For more
than q quarter ofa century Tom Thumb
has occupied q position in the eye Of the
public in inverse proportion to his size.
While by no means the smallest dwarf
ever exhibited, he is by far the most
notable. He was born at Bridgeport,
Connecticut, January 4th, 1883, and had,
therefore, attained the age of forty-five
wears and six months when he died. His
parents were ordinary sized people, and
until the age of four or five Charles was
not noticeably small. About that time
he ceased growing, however, and when
Il the age of fourteen he was engaged by
P. T. Barnum as an attraction for the
New York museum of the great show
man, he was about the size of boy of
six. He broadened considerably in later
years, but gained little in stature. He
has been before the public ever since
1852, and served as an object of curiosity
to more people than any other human.
Interest tagging somewhat in him in
1868, Barnum conceived the idea of mar
rying the general, as he w9s commonly
called, to feminine dwarf, and suits
bic person was found in Minnie Warren
a comedy little parsonage. The two not
only fell in with Barnum's scheme, but
became attached to each other, and their
wedding Was celebrated with great pomp
and ceremony, in Trinity church, New
York, a sister of the bride acting IS
bridesmaid, and Commodore Mutt, a
midget considerably smaller than the
groom, and since dead, serving as best
man for the latter. The quartet, under
Barnum's management, travelled for sew
eral years all over the civilized globe, ap-
pearing before crowned heads in all
countries, attracting much attention and
receiving thousands OF dollars worth Of
presents, which latter formed portion
of the show. Gen. Tom was . shrewd
man of business, and in later years sepa-
rated from Barnum, travelling for several
seasons under his own management.
About two years after his marriage Mr..
and M1s Stratton became happy parents,
but their offspring, much to the regret Of
the curious, lived but short time. About
two years ago the pair, having amasseda
very considerable fortune, retired from
the stage and made their home in the
handsome residence in the outskirts Of
Middleboro, which was built under Tom
Thumbs personal orders. Mrs. Stratton,
who is several years her husbands junior
survives him. However this was fol-
lowed by the usual farewell tour, during
which himself, wife and company were
occupants of the Newhall house, Mil
waukee, on the night of the destruction
of that hotel, but all his troupe escaped
unframed, the diminutive Mr.. and Mrs.
Stratton being carried out in the arms Of
q stalwart policeman, the little lady saw
ing all her diamonds and jewelry.

The Telegraph STRIFE.

The following telegram relative TO the
great strike was received by the C1RoN-
IcLE on Monday, and is taken from Sum
days Pioneer Press:
As will be seen by our dispatches the
strike has but fairly began, and where,
when and how it will end is scarcely q
matter Of even conjecture. Such an ex-
tensiye and determined strike the world
never before witnessed. The Western
Union refuses to pay the operators now
on the strike. The regular pay day was
on the Goth.
The boys. ray that they are not III need
of financial aid, but acknowledge If the
trouble continues they may get short.
There is still some money in the treasury
at the st. Paul branch of Telegraph
Brotherhood, and when that is exhausted
funds provided by the Knights Of Labor
is ready for drafts under the supervision
Of principal members of the Order in the
United States, and amounts to quarter
million dollars. Thus operators are
secured against ali want.
A good many operators are coming in
from small country Offices, and the COM
pany expects more on Monday. but they
decline to say where from, that being q
matter necessarily kept secret.
The telegraph operators Of Gold and
Stock company in New York joined
ranks of the strikers and the messenger
boys deserted their posts during Saturday
afternoon.
The Baltimore and Ohio men are out
to man, and that company is unable to
transmit q message.
The Pioneer Press stated that two Of
four Bismarck operators are at work,
which is also untrue. The minute the
time appointed for tho boat to arrive
every one of four operators dropped
their pencils, and the amiable young
lady who works in the Office was the
very first to obey the order Of the grand
proceedings, having words with the man
ager. Sixteen thousand, and more CON-
ing. They have appointed committees
on finance, relief, intelligence, law, order
and on skirmishing, the last means to
intercept all incoming operators, and try
to induce them into secret order of bro
thcrllood.

supplies the water by the Upper West
Gallatin and Boseman Canal Co., and we
trust the enterprise will be carried for

enough. It will furnish . good supply OF

wells will furnish water all the time and
will be independent of drouth in the
summer and freezing in winter. As to

We are safe in saying that two dollars per

PHMosoPHY OF BREAD MAK1Na-That
cookery is being placed on the basis of
the higher education Of women, end Is
being considered one of the fine arts.
Is something to be realized by every
young woman who intends to assume
the duties Of well-kept homo and q
well-fed household. Perhaps there is
no moro important branch in the pro-
cess OF culinary development than that
Of bread making. or any that requires
more practice and care. The Americans
have more kinds of bread thau any
other nation. yet they do not always
have better, and generally not as good
as is often found in other countries.
There are many ways OF making bread,
by mixing with yeast, by using leaven,
by salt-rising or milk yeast, and by
mixing the flour with water charged
with carbolio acid, called erated bread.
Yeast bread is by far the most healthful
and economical of all modes of making
1t. Leaven, which one associates
more with cookery described in Biblic al
literature, is paste. made Of -four and
water and allowed to sour. Sometimes
housekeepers and bakers keep q piece
of the risen dough for the next bread
mixing, and thus is leaven. To obtain
good results in bread making we must
begin with yeast If we would have that
kind OF bread. The following reliable
recipe may be useful to some:
