The Athletics have started out as though
they meant business. Not content with
beating the Nationals, they did" the Phil
adelphias yesterday by score of 2 to l.
Harry Wright's team is us experimental as
IL was last year.
The Eastern Association mines are very
strong this season, especially tho. Rich
monds and Trentons. The Richmonds had
the satisfaction Of beating the Providence
Club two games.
If tho league clubs think Southern trip
n picnic and that they can take n ball
away from this locality with scrub nine
they will find out their error.
Old Joe Start on first base to day. Joe
has been playing ball since the memory
of man Iunneth not TO tho contrary"
Our sbort.stop, White, has shown himself
TO be frst-class player. He halls from
Bellaire, Ohio, where he has an uncle, who
is one of the richest men in that part of
the State. This uncle is a self-made man,
and very eccentric. He started In life with
no capital save one mule. By hard and
honest work he accumulated his fortune.
He say he owes his luck to that mule, and
Cd the doorpost of his $4,000 house he had
the mules head cut. II White shows tho
same characteristics as his uncle, hc proba-
bly, will mako success of anything he un-
dertakes.
Knowles has bad habit Of starting slow
after he hits the ball. He lost two base
hits in one game last week by starting
slow. He is a good general player aud
should remedy this fault.
A gentleman said in tho grand stand one
day last week that "Eke" Stearns was as
good an umpire as he had ever seen. THE
CRITIC echoes the sentiment.
Tho presidents of all the league clubs
meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York,
this week, to take action upon Lucas re-
quest that Dunlap, Shaeifer ct al. DO rein
stated. President Root of the Providence
Club Is the only one among them who is
strongly opposed to it, aud it is quite proba-
bic that united action of all the league
clubs will be made toward their reinstate.
ment 1t certainly should be done.
The question is, Will the American
championship go West or remain East the
coming season? THE Critic answers East.
Powell "hoodoos' the ball before he
| pitches it. He Hooks at the batsmau, curves
one eye over to first base, twists the ball
three times in his left hand, winks at the
catcher, turns his left elbow out of joint,
raises his right leg, gives the left an en-
brace with 1t, raises both arms rapidly, let's
60 with his left, makes swing with the
right, unwraps his legs aud the ball flies
into Fulmers hands-"Foul! out"

Industrial Exhibition and Enter.
tRtument.

Yesterday at Willard Hall an industrial
exhibition was opened for the benefit of the
First Mission School of Cookery, on II
street; the Washington School of Cookery,
on Fourteenth street; st. Mary's Industrial
School for Colored Girls, on Twenty-third
street, and the Metropolitan Industrial
School, Nineteenth and II streets.
There were practical illustrations of
cooking by the young girls, most of whom
were colored. They we're all neatly dressed
and had on white aprons. The Metropoli-
tan School had on their tables specimens of
straw hats, made by the boys, and of fancy
needlewoIk by the girls.
The tables Of all of the schools were
covered with the handiwork Of their at
PENDANTS. 1t was very interesting aud
successful exhibition. Commencing at 5
o'clock the children of the Metropolitan
Industrial School gave very pleasant
entertainment. This evening an "Old
Folks Concert" will be given by the pupils
of st. Mar.'s Sunday -School, under the
leadership of their superintendent, Mr..
Mccoy. Tomorrow evening concert will
be given by the Selika Quartet, four
ladies whose voices have been most care
fully trained, and who will make their
first appearance in public.

weighed less than 200 pounds, each
carrying little parcel which no seemed to

Espionage in Russia.

In Russia, says Rev. DR.. Buckley, a
child ten years of age cannot go away
from home to school without passport.
Common servants and peasants cannot
go away from where they live without a
passport. A gentleman residing in
Moscow or st. Petersburg cannot re-
ceive the visit of friend who remains
many hours without notifying the po-
lice of his or her arrival, as the case
may be. The porters of all houses are
compelled to make returns of the arri-
val and departure of strangers. And
for every one of these passports a charge
is made of some kind. When / crme to
leave Russia my passport was examin
ed, and an inscription placed upon 1t
that 'sthere was no reason, SO far rs
the officers knew, why / should rot
be permitted to cross the frontier.
Thinking myself by this time safe, and
perceiving that the person who trans
acted the business spoke little English
said: 'sYou have charged me two
roubles for certifying that you have no
objections to my leaving the country.
If it will be of any use to you viii
give you certificate gratuitously that
/ have not the slightest objection to
leaving it." At which he produced a
grimaee and sound which can only be
described as an attempt to blend grin
and growl.

Shall We Sleep with Open windows7

This question introduces subject
upon which there is a diversity of
opinion, both among medical practi-
TONERS and individuals. II have no
bad colds since | learned to sleep with
my window open, remarked gentle
man in the office of the medical and sur
gical reporter the other day In reply
the editor says that the only "hard
colds" he ever suffered from were con-
tracted by sleeping in rooms to which
the night air had free access. The edi
tor adds that it is well known that the
bodily temperature sinks slightly dur
ing sleep; the physiological functions
act with diminished activity; and hence
the resistance of the economy to morbi-
fic influences is proportionately lessen
ed. But it is also well known that at night
these influences are more potent and
noxious. The air is charged with great
or humidity; miasmetic and malarial
poisons rise to higher levels and extend
with greater rapidity; the chill of the
damp night air is penetrating and dan
gerous the emanations from organic de-
cay are more perceptible. Against these
the sleeper is less protected than in the
daytime. He has Invested himself of
his wooden external clothing to put on
cotton or linen, and lies between sheets
of the same material, between which, at
the tops and sides of the bed, the air
gains ready access to his unprotected
surface. If he is restless, he renders
such access yet more easy. A greater
risk awaits him. A sudden fall in temper
ature at night is no unusual occurrence.
In summer thunder gust, in win
ter shift of the wind to the north, often
reduces the temperature ten to twenty
degrees. The sleeper is unaware of this.
He remains exposed to it with no further
protection than he found agreeable at
the higher temperature, until he awakes
chilled and stiff, perhaps with the seeds
of serious illness already sown. These
are such positive and unavoidable risks
that we should counsel a delicate per-
son to be exceedingly cautious how he
ventured on the plan of open windows
at night, however much has been said
in its favor by popular hygienists-

Gen. Clusters Confederate Friend.

Pacific while they surveyed the route to

Joined the command few days out
from Fort Rice. Gen. Custer wrote me
that he was lying on the buffalo robe in
his tent, resting after the march, when
he heard a voice outside asking the sem
tinel (which was Gen. Clusters tent"
The General called out: "Halloo, old
fellow! [ haven't heard that voice

Come in and welcomed Gen.
Rosser walked liz, and such a reunion
as was had These two had been
classmates and warm friends at West
Point, and parted with sorrow when
Gen. Rosser went into the Southern
army. Afterward they had fought
each other in the Shenandoah Valley
time and again Both of them lay on
the robe for hours talking over the
campaign in Virginia. In the varying
fortunes of war sometimes one had got
possession of the wagon train belonging
to the other. [ knew of several occa-
sions when they had captured each
others headquarters wagon, with their
private luggage. If one drove the
other back in retreat, before he went
into camp he wrote a note addressing
the other as Dear friend, and say
ing, "You may have made me take few
steps this way to-day, but I'll be even
with You tomorrow. Please accept my
good wishes and this little gift" These
notes and presents were left at the
house of some Southern woman as they
retreated out of the village. Once Gen.
Custer took all of his friends luggage,
and in it he found new uniform coat
of confederate gray He wrote a hu-
morous letter that night thanking Gen.
Rosser for setting him up so many new
things, but audaciously asking him if he
would direct his tailor to make the
coat tails of his next uniform little
shorter" as there was difference in
the height of the two men. Gen. Gus
ter captured his herd of cattle at one
time, but he was so holly pursued by
Gen. Rosser that he had to dismount,
cut whip, and drove them himself un-
til they were secured.

The Winters Lesson.

If any farmer has gone through the
past winter and learned no lesson, he
is not the man we write for. 1t has
been severe schooling to many. Some
will become Disguised with the State,
and resolve at all risk to sell out and
90 somewhere. But where will it be
Running away from Iowa billiards.,
what country will You find which has
not something worse? With your pres
snt knowledge of the good health and
prolific character of Iowa, can not am
pie preparations be made to avoid the
bad effects and annoyances of Iowa
storms cheaper than you can sacrifice
your property, and go to some other
cegion where rose colored letters are
written from by bold spectators, and
where the country never keeps half
pace with Iowa IN production, prosper
ty and population.
There will this spring probably be
,tampedes from the best States in the
Union Ito Oklahoma and the two Indian
reservations Just brought into market
in Dakota, south of Pierre. In either
ease, in two years they will wish they
were back at their old homes.
Stay in Iowa, and prepare your
farms by evergreen wind-breaks, and
st-growing groves for fuel, and pro-
vide cheap but warm and comfortable
stock barns and sheds. Then when
winter comes you have wood on your
farm, and your stock and food where
you can take care of them in comfort
to yourselves, with an increased profit
on the stock. This is not a hard
question to solve. There is no need
Of facing suffering in Iowa billiards.
They can be provided against. Then
stay home with your family through
the winter, which ought to be the
happiest place in this world, and the
most profitable place for any farmer
