College Nine Victorious.

Yesterday afternoon a game Of ball
was played between the club Of the
1st preparatory and q scrub nine com-
posed of town boys on the grounds ia
the rear of the college. Five innings
were played and the college nine came
out ahead in score of 10 to 4 runs
Taking into consideration that neither
had the scrub nine played before to-
gether nor were the boys as large, the
defeat is excusable. Mr.. Murphey ii
the pitchers base did signal service

in hundred, he said, would notify
the department when letter was

Babies and the HOt Weather.

The hot weather is approaching
and the poor babies agonies will then
begin, especially if they should be so
unfortunate as to have mothers inex-
perienced in the baby wants. An
able physician calls the attention Of
mothers who have children unable to
talk, to the necessity of giving them q
little cold water frequently this hot
weather. They suffer from thirst
equally with US. but they are helpless
and dumb. They can only cry and
moan. The mother wonders what
can all them, searches for pins, offers
them food, and exhausts her patience
in hunting for the cause. The tor
ments of thirst which they suffer
bring on fever and often serious ILL.,
ness, which sixty drops of cold water
would prevent Every person who
understands this should urge upon
mothers the necessity of frequently
giving them a teaspoonfnl Of cold
water.

GEORGIA is one of the most rigid
States in the Union in her regulation
of the liquor traffic. By statistics fur
nished the temperance convention
now in session at Atlanta, it appears
that out of 1873 counties in the State
100 have prohibition, both in theory
and in practice, while only 20 are as
yet unaffected by the temperance
movement. As is always the case,
the cities are holding out longest, and
special legislation is now asked for to
bring them under the influence of the
general feeling throughout the State.
We hope Georgia's laws are made
with less loopholes and are more
rigidly enforced than are those Of
Maryland.

The Cheapest Dinner in Existence.

Inc Cuc8ptSt DlDDcI LII LAAbUcuVcs
@The cheapest, most nutritious and,
what is more, most palatable dinner in
existence" says correspondent of the
London Times, lis the following: {:
Egyptian lentils cost % shillings for
1O4 pounds Wholesale price). This
works out at under I penny q pound
weight; one pound yields nearly two
quarts of thick, strong pea-soup, far su-
perior to English pea-soup in flavor.
The lentil is the most nutritious food
known for its weight. On it the Chilian
miner, the strongest man in the world,
lives for l shilling per week, but the
Egyptian lentil 10 nearly half the price
the price paid in Chill. If to this soup
be added An equal weight in the fresh
refuse beef bones which are carried
away by the ton from all our London
butchers shops Ito be boiled down into
fat and to be ground into manure, then
from one pound of lentils, costing un-
der + penny, can be made two and .
quarter or two and . half quarts Of the
very best pea-soup, and on this exclu-
sively I have frequently made my own
dinner, my family also pfeferring it to
any other. Two quarts are more than .
strong man can ven get through in q
day, and it will keep him in perfect
health and strength. Stale bread and
crusts, potatoes, meal or rice can, If
necessary, or If svailable, be sdded, -
the favor of the soup makes the dryest
crust most palatable even to . nick

Alive, Though Offlcially Dead.

From the Kingston N. Y.) Dispatch.1
A man was found dead near this city
short time ago, and Coroner Rice Of
Rondout held an inquest. A number
of witnesses identified the corpse as
that of Polish peddler who for years
past sold cheap jewelry and spectacles
at farmhouses between Catskiu and
Tsppan, on the west bank of the Hud-
son, and between Peekskill and Hudson
on the other side. A verdict was rem
dered that the deceased came to his
death from exposure, and the body was
buried.
One night this week Coroner Rice
was awakened by q very angry man,
who, in broken English. demanded to
know why he had been declared dead
man, and who asked him If he thought
such decision was that of an honest
man. The coroner at first supposed he
had q crank to deal with, but when the
light revealed the features of the visitor
he saw it was the peddler who was sup
posed to have been buried short time
ago. The indignant Pole proved to
the coro2er that the Witnesses had been
mistaken, and then he insisted that he
ought to have @his right" even il he
was foreigner and spectacle peddler.
The coroner said he would cheerfully
aooede to almost anything, so as to sat-
isfy his irate visitor, who said that If
given certificate with big seal to the
effect that he Was neither dead nor
buried, and that he had lost none of his
rights to own property, he would
make no more trouble. The coroner
accordingly satished the man who had
bean declared dead, and his visitor de-
parted. ~- j

A Buffalo dispatch of the 10Th says
The Lake Shore railway has for long
time been missing large quantities Of
goods and, though skilled detectives were
placed to work, no clue could be OBJ
tanned. The seals were broken between
here end Erie, and valuable property
taken, but the point could not be lo-
Gated. The problem has just been
solved by the arrest of two boys here
for robbery of farmer near Angola, of
$50 in cash and $1,000 in promissory
notes. They acknowledged this crime
and we're so frightened they told all
about the car robberies. About twenty
boys were in league at Angola, where
most of the thefts were committed.
One would mount car during the night
as the train was moving from the sta
ton, break the seal and enter. Boxes
and bales were thrown out and the con-
tents sent here, where they were dis
posed of by q woman, whose name is
not known. The boys under arrest,

SHE SHOT TO KILL.
of Yaoult Dudley, O'Donovan
RO0oA'0 ASSailAnt.

RO0oAo ASSoalont.
Mrs. Yseult Dudley was arraigned at
the Yorkville police court, New York,
on the 10th, for shooting O'Donovan
Rossa, February 2. Rossa was not in
court, and the prosecuting officer an
nounced that he had not called him be-
cause there was such excitement at
present that an extraneous measure
might interfere with the orderly admin
istration of justice. Ex-Judge Fuller
ton and Lawyer Butts appeared for
Mrs. Dudley, who sat composedly near
her counsel and listened intently and
but with little concern to the testimony
of the witness for the people. When
the prisoner was asked whom she had
shot, she said: "ODonovan Rossa."
Witness asked why, and was told by the
prisoner that she had shot at Rossa be-
cause she wanted to kill him and the
reason for such desire was that "Rossa
was an enemy to my country. Sergt.
James Gaynor, who was at the desk at
the station house when the prisoner
was brought in, testified to having taken
the pistol and produced it in court.
The people then rested their case and
the defense stated that no testimony
would be put in at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. Justice Patterson consented
to fix the bail at 5000 for the pris-
oner's appearance before the grand
jury. Mrs. Dudley was remanded
pending appearance of her bondsman.
