oNsf4 BALL FIELD.
NR0SsTDEs VICTORIOUS AND THE
LAkCAsTKR DEF.EATED.
Detailed Accounts OF the Games Played Here
and I'm Trenton saturdsy-Interesting Notes
OF the Diamond Results Of the
Contests Elsewhere.

On Saturday afternoon the Ironsides played
their first game Of the season In this city and
their opponents were the Actives, of Reading.
Although the weather was cold and blustery
and a stiff wind kept blowing all day, there
were at least 500 people on the grounds. The
Active club Is composed of young men from
Reading, including Hesler, who played for
a short time on the Ironsides last season.
With great deal of practice this club may
play ball, but they certainly did not make
good showing on Saturday, when their
pitcher was hit hard and they played poor
game In the field. The Ironsides have very
clever team The infield especially is strong
and with practice they will do fine work.
Sweitzer was away off in his throwing 10 first
and Mitchell, who is a tall man, was unable
to reach the ball. The battery made good
impression. Greer caught splendid game
and did fine throwing To second. Tho visi-
tors made but three hits off Carson, who
IL is believed will make good
pitcher, although he looks for too much sup
port from the field. Nearly all the players
know how to handle the stick. The score o.

Harriet Lane and Miss Cleveland.

From Washington Letter.
A brief visit was paid last week by Mrs
Johnson, of Baltimore, who, as Miss Harriet
Lane, presided in the White House for her
uncle, President Buchanan, to her old friend,
Mrs. Hornsby, whose father, Judge Black,
was then attorney general. When it was
mentioned on Tuesday evening to Miss
Cleveland that Mrs. johnson, the only other
unmarried lady Except presidents daugh-
ter) who has ever presided in the White
House and who, like Miss Cleveland, did so
for bachelor Democratic president, was in the
city, she said eagerly: "Oh, must see her;
OF course i shall see her." But naturally
TO one so desolate as the bereaved Mrs. John
son now is, having no near relative living
and having within the past three years
buried her husband and their only two chill
dren--promising sons-a visit to the execu-
tive mansion, where she has reigned as a
social queen, would be too exquisitely pain
full for any one to suggest it to her, so il is
hoped that she may be able to meet Miss
Cleveland elsewhere when she comes for a
longer stay than she did this week.

GRANT AND LEE.
Manly Characteristic Which They Seem to
Have Had In Common.

Have Had In Common.
From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
Gen. Grant was never SO near the heart OF
this people as he is to-day. He has passed,
and is passing, through great tribulations,
and he bears himself with such courage and
such manliness that he is in popular estima-
ton no longer political leader, no longer a
representative of any party or faction; he is
only plain citizen who has served faithfully
the people, of republic which is never un-
grateful.
Wellington, Napoleon, Washington, were
successful captains in contests with the ar
mics of aliens Grant led his forces against
his own countrymen. When Lee died. men
soldier, as to-day all sections speak of
Grants military fame as common heritage
Of all the people. The demonstration Is not
merely the tribute to a great soldier 1t
marks step forward in civilized govern
ment and sheds new luster on the peoples
republic.
The study of the character OF Gen. Grant is
full OF an interest which even his career does
not excite. There is something about it
which appeals to personal sympathy and ad-
The one trait which has been deyeloped
above all others is his ready assumption of
full responsibility for all he does There

stinctive readiness to self-excuse, to seek for

The visitation by the president and Army
of the Potomac soldiers to-day to the battle
field of Gettysburg, is one of a series of like
events that has been devised and, it is TO
be hoped, will continue to mark more
definitely and create greater popular inter-
est in this most famous battle field of all the
world. In history and i'm military science it
transcends Waterloo, and while a rough
wagon ride Of twenty miles is required to
reach the chess-board on which empires were
staked in 1915, the convoniences of modern
science now take the president of the great
est republic to the foot of Little Round Top
in parlor car. Gettysburg was not only the
field of the late wars decisive battle, but it is
the only scene of that great struggles martial
activities in Pennsylvania or any other free
state. 1t was not, however, the only battle
of the war tor the Union, which transcended
Waterloo in its casualties. There were q hall
score of them; and i'm one two-hours fight
more of our countrymen met death than
perished on the fated field where England,
Germany and France grapplcd in deadly
holds.

tlons, ssubordinste blundcred, or superior
rejected good advice.
There il nothing In Grants character
which answers TO this trait in others. He
accepts without question or comment full
responsibility for his mistakes as for all else
that he does, and he does II as only a great
man can, AZ only one conscious of his power,
conscious OF his own personal rectitude
would. 1t In this spirit; which is something
more than self-reliance something more
than fortitude, which is the source Of bis
power.
Gen. Lee had It TO marked degree, though
its manifestations were very different. At
Gettysburg, after the fatal charge of Picketts
division, from which only few struggled
back, Lee stood In the path Of these beaten
heroes and said TO them: "Men, II Is all my
fault; the blame Is mine; we will make II
all right after awhile"
Well will 1t be for any people when this
trait has become national characteristic
| We need nothing perhaps more than VIC
need this manly, upright selfdependence
| this feeling OF personal accountability fol
personal acts; this thorough self-respec
which forbids a man to dis0wn an act as |
| would to disown child.
The absence of this trait accounts for mucl
| of the instability ofour commercial and socia
affairs The absence of II leads to much tina
is immoral, to much that is demoralizng.

the part Of wisdom in England
to try the issue Of arms with her
at once, in resistance Of the long stride
she is making toward her quarry rather than
give way to her even once. If war with
Russia is to come 1t would be better for
England that it should come now.
This has been the general belief, and 1t is
for this reason that people generally have
believed that the war would be. 1t is the
common belief that Russia is aiming for
India, and that no promise on her part to
abstain from attempting to seize upon IL
is of any value at all. With any
statesman Of ordinary choler at the head
of English affairs we would pretty certain
ly have war. But Gladstone is near the end
of his career and is known to be anxious to
leave his country at peace when he steps
out. The queen and her family probably
want peace, mixed up as they are with Rus
sia in their domestic relations. The cz,r's
wife wants peace they say. Russia has ne
money or credit, and that is cry for peace
England does not want to spend her money
and that is an invocation to peace. An(
with the women and money on the scale TO
peace, peace most likely it is going TO be.

Prospects OF Peace.

The war cloud seems to have lifted. 1t
is made very clear that England does not
want to 60 to war, and it seems now as
though Russia is ready to preserve the peace
for awhile longer if she is left in possession
of the territory she has seized. No doubt
It is a wise conclusion in both countries, as
war is always Improbable. In the present
situation Russia has decidedly the advan-
tage. She has not only advanced her
frontier, but she has aroused the national
spirit of her people, and gained for her
rulers the first applause that the
people have given them for a long time.
1t is even said that the car has been able
to appear upon the streets without soidiery
about him. The Russians will be greatly
pleased if they succeed in making England
retreat from her lofty position as the guar
dian of the ameer's territory, letting Rus
si, take in peace the big slice she has seized
upon. 1t is probably wise in England to
eat moderate dose of humble pie rather
than involve herself in awar which will cost
her more than the whole of Afghanistan
is worth though there are those who think
that the loss of prestige she will
suffer will be likely to do her great damage
in the minds of her Indian subjects, who SO
greatly outnumber their English con-
querors and who may readily think that
they can throw off their yoke when they
see England so fairly backed down by Rus
sia. England only cares for Afghan's in
dependence that she may have a bulwark
TO India against Russian aggression. If it
is true that Russia conteniplates India with
longing eyes, it would seem TO be

Large Flour Shipments From Philadelphia.


The shipments of flour from this port for
the present year have aggregated over $780,
sacks, consigned principally to Liverpool and
Glasgow. These and other shipments have
caused complaints by the English and
Scotch millers who say that it is impossible
for them to compete, as the flour is handled
in the larger European ports cheaper than the
wheat can be purchased. Another advantage
is that the flour is better, having more nutri-
tive qualities, caused by the improved
American machinery in the shape OF mid
dlings purifiers, which retain the sweeter
portion of the wheat instead of having ii pass
OIL in the shape of bran. The Canadian millers
say that in spite of the duty ON American
flour the product can be sold cheaper than
wheat can be raised in Canada. The principal
amount sent abroad has been by the Allan
and Red Star Line steamships, while the
sailing vessels have carried large amount
to Demerara and the West Indies. 1t is ex
pected that the shipments from this port for
the coming year will be the largest ever
known.
