On Saturday evening the directors and
stockholders of the Saltwater base base ball
club held meeting in the Office of Mr.. Frank
Joy, to take into consideration whether /,
would be judicious or not to keep the club in
the field. The subject was fully discussed.
and it was decided to disband the club at an
early day. The decision was arrived at on
account Of the difficulty in obtaining men Of
requisite ability as players, and especially q
pitcher to put in the place of j. +. Quinn,
who broke his arm while pitching a ball.
| These and other considerations bore due
weight, and we do not expect to see any
games of base ball by league teams for some
time on our grounds. We regret that the
course had to be adopted but it is better to
do this than to be involved in a load of
debt.
| On Saturday evening there was a special
meeting of the city school board All the
members except Judge Murdoch were pres
ent. No business was transacted, although
we understand the subject of fence around
the Central school building, and a sidewalk
at the High school grounds were to have
been taken up. Their intentions are to be
commended and it is pity they did not take
some steps to commence with the fence at
once, as it could be finished before the
school opens. A proposition for building an
iron fence was before them, and which
would be a strong and cheap structure. No
property in the city requires a fence more
than the Central school lots. As for the
apology for walks at the High school they
will require to be rebuilt. Now is the time
to do such work, as labor can be procured
more cheaply than at any other time.
The representative of the GLOBE is much
pleased with the hearty and generous sup
port which has been accorded to him, almost
unsolicited, by the citizens of Saltwater,
since he came among them. He has en-
deavored to cater to their wants by supplying
everything of interest happening in the city,
and If he has failed in some instances it was
for no lack of proper zeal to subserve the
best interests of the city, but because, as a
stranger, he could not find the exact spot
where the information was to be obtained.
His list of subscribers has about

live paper should have in the city. and IL
they continue to roll in for the next few days
as they have been doing of late, the goal will
be reached.
Yesterday morning the church services at
Ascension church, Episcopal was very fine,
and the selections most appropriate. This
church is becoming noted for the excellence
of its singing, and the choir deserves all the
praise that can be given to them. With the
new organ, which they intend to procure,
Mrs. w. G. Masterman, the organist, will
produce such volume of harmony that the
congregation will be astonished they had the
old organ so long. The choir Yesterday was
composed of Miss Gertrude Easton, soprano:
Mrs. r. S. Davis, alto; Mr.. Frank Berny,
tenor, and MIR. W. c. Masterman, bass and
they gave in very superior manner the fol-
lowing rich treat:

Yesterday morning young man belong

money and papers valued at 1850, which
he was taking to Minneapolis. He went by
the Duluth train, and while buying his ticket
left the pocket book containing all his wealth
on the ticket window sill and went aboard the
train. Mr.. Reeves, the ticket agent, discov-

loss for some time, but when he did his looks

Bear he telegraphed, and on an answer being

derfully relieved, 1t was good for him that
the pocket book and contents were found by
Mr. Reeves, as otherwise he might have been
minus the whole budget. After receiving the
pocket book from Mr.. Reeves he left again
on the train and, no doubt, this time he will
be more careful. Mr.. Reeves received the
thanks to which he was entitled.
Yesterday morning the Rev. 1. McClair Of
the NJ. E. church had as the subject of his
discourse "Tbe love OF the American people
for the church, They showed this by their
regard for the Christian church, their regard
for the Christian ministry, their attendance
upon worship, their large contributions to
sustain Christian institutions, and their zeal
in extending the cause. They do this be-
cause they have confidence in the principles
of Christianity as helpful to good govern.
ment and the best interests of the people;
also because of their confidence in the
church method OF extending these principles
as simple, economical and successful. They
do it also for the love they bear to the Savior,
and the benefit the church is to themselves
socially, financially, intellectually and rclig-
iously, it being support in sorrow, and
help in the struggle Of life. Though people
at times appear careless in religious matters,
yet they would sacrifice all rather than aban-
don it. The speaker referred TO the numer-
Gus and costly churches In the city, and
asked how much anyone would be willing tn
give to build an infidel temple"
