Since the beginning of the talk about

country there has been good deal said
about the danger of drinking milk.
The germs of the disease that Turk in
milk, however, can be killed by
boiling it, which does not 10 the least
impair it's heaithfulness. At the last
meeting of the London Heath Exhibi-
tion, great deal of attention was paid
to- the fact that contagious diseases are
often disseminated through the agency
Of milk. Dr. TllarsfieId said the con-
sumption Of unboiled milk might liter
allv be said to bring the consumer into
close connection with the animal from
which it was drawn, and always to
some extent, and often most intimately
with the family and domestic arrange
ments of at least one household, and
frequently two The wander was that
not so many but SO few bad consequ-
ence had hitherto been traced to milk.
If there was one fact which more than
another had been uniformly brought
out ia the records Of milk epidemics, II
was chat the consumers of boiled milk
had as d rule, escaped and the same
fact has been noted in outbreaks Of an

The Cairo's did not play their half of
the last inning, They did not want to
kick their opponents after they were down.
The Cairo's have the greater reason to be
proud of their victory, since they did not
have real professional player in their nine,
while the Eckfords had two from Louis
ville-the pitcher and catcher.
Yesterdays game was not so interesting
for our boys. The Charleston club, smart
ing under the very signal defeat they suf-
fered at thes hands of the Cairos some days
ago, determined to down our boys. But
knowing that neither themselves nsr any
other amateur players around here would
dare to undertake the job with any hope
of success, they sent to St. Louis and at a
cost of several hundred dollars
procured the services Of four members of
the St. Louis Browns and the Prickly Ash
clubs, men who play ball for a livelihood
and who receive large yearly salaries for
their services, one of them $4,000 per an
mum. The pitcher, catcher, first baseman
and short stop were st. Louis professionals,
two of whom are advertised to play the
Philadelphia club in st. Louis to-day.
Thus enforced the Charleston Blues arrived
yesterday forenoon on the Iron Mountain
road accompanied by probably two hun.
dred people. The boys were all fine look
ing fellows.
AThe game began at o'clock sharp, il
the presence of perhaps five hundred peo
pie. 1t was evident from the first that tn
Charleston (O club would carry the day
and that the four professionals constitutes
the strength of the club. The score stoot
| Is to 2 in favor of the Blues; but tn,
"Cairss" have much reason to congratulate,
themselves that they were able to keep the
score down to those figures and whitewast
their opponents twice.
The next game will probably be with
the Columbus club.

The Charleston Blues can certainly not
crow over the defeat of the Cairos yester.
day. They cannot find any good reason
for doing so. The Cairos were composed
entirely ofyoung men who work for lv-
ing and who play ball occasionally for
amusement. practicing perhaps once in q
week or two. There was not profession
al player among them. The Blues had four
men who play base ball as a business, and
to these four exclusively is due the victory
of yesterday. The Charlestons engaged
these professionals at considerable expense,
and came here expecting to win back their
money in bets; but there is good reason to
believe that they fell considerably short in
their expectations, as our sporting men
generally were aware Of the trick and held
onto their money. They will, therefore,
have to be satisfied with what glory they
can scrspe up, as compensation for their
pains, and as very large proportion Of
that belongs to their St. Louis hirelings,
the little that they can justly claim as
theirs will cost them dearly. But the boys
gave an interesting game, and for this, on
behalf Of the people who witnessed it, We
express gratitude to them. "a
