Decline Of Sbiumeuls az P.ruvi,

Decline OF shipments Of Peruvian
Bark The shipments Of cinchont bark to
this couatry fro u Ecuador have practically
ceased A large number Of men have been
enpIoyed in gstherias this bark, ami some
very large and valuable shipments have been
made here. but At the present time it is al
most impossible to ship anything The main
cause Of the decline has been the wonderful
development Of the cultivated bark in Sierra
Leone, Africa, aud the East Indies While
the best quiuine l'rk that is shipped from
South America has lom over y to 3 per
ee.t Of suphIte Of quinle. under cultivation
in India they increase it as high in some
cases, as o per cent. The production is con
stantly increasing in quautie aud quality
so that the European ma are flooded
with it, ia Sierra Leone and India the bark
is grown at very little cost, and it can be sold
and made profitable if the growers only OBJ

Rain Interrupts a Bal1 Game.

The Military Base. Ball League have
met with hard luck. Out of five sched-
uled games four have been postponed on
account of rain. 1t appears as though the
elements have combined to discourage the
mines represented in the league. The game
arranged for yesterday afternoon between
the Georgia Hussars and the Chatham
Artillery was called promptly by Gus
Friend, the league umpire, at 4:30. Both
mines were weakened by the I'M
avoidable absence of some of
their best players. The Hussars won
the toss and sent the Chathams to the bat.
The game progressed finely until the be.
ginning of the fourth inning. The score
then stood to 6 IN favor of the Hussars.
Before this inning could be played the
rain descended in torrents and the UNI
pire declared the game of, thus adding
another to the postponed games. The

The thermometer made rush up In the
forenoon, and at % degrees got on its high
horse. A good many people thought it
was the hottest day of the season thus far,
but it wasn't by two degrees. The day
started out at 80 degrees, but the theT-
mOmeter gradually crept up to the maxi
mum little before o'clock. Late in the
afternoon a heavy thunder storm passed
over the city. The lightning was vivid.
A number OF severe shocks were felt in
the southern part Of the city, and tree
ut Jones and Whitaker streets was
shivered. After the storm, during which
| $500 inches Of rain fell, the air was
much cooler, and at II O'Clock last night
the Signal Service thermometer had slid
down to 70 degrees. The mean tempera-
ture of the day was 1873 degrees.
