VI. .. >, oAIGc, D.
An exhibition game was played at Water
vile yesterday afternoon6etween the M. S.
C's and Bates, resulting in score of to 3
for the NJ. S. C's. The regular scheduled
league was forfeited by the NJ S. C's 8 to o.
in consequence of an accident which befel
their catcher and second baseman while
practicing before the game. While running
for fiy they ran into each other so hard
that it is feared Catcher Rogers brain is in
iured, as he he was out of his head for some
time; while Philbrook was hurt on the head
and had his breath knocked out of him. DR..
j. F. Hill, who was summoned, forbade
either playing, and the game was declared
forfeited to the Bates.
One more league game remains to be
played, and that between Colby and Bates,
at Lewiston, Saturday If Bates wins 1t
gives her the pennant; if Colby, it ties the
two for it.
The exhibition game played between them
was brilliant and interesting throughout.
Oxley caught for the NJ. S. C's, WILDER of
Lewiston playing second; for Bates, Webb
of Saccarappa and Soule were the battery,
their regular catcher, Sanford, playing first
base. Two pretty double plays were made,
one fly captured by Elwel, who quickly
threw out man playing off first the other
by Flanders and WILDER. The score:

The Crop Prospects in Southern and
Western Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb, June pa gentleman who
has within few days past Travelled over
much of Southern and Western Nebraska
brings the encouraging report that crops OF
The recent rains have been most beneficial,
and the corn especially is making fine pro
gress. Though the planting was late, the
advancement is nearly or quite up to that OF
last year. except that the weeds were getting
ahead of the farmers. Small grain is also
looking well, and has not been damaged by
the rains to any great extent. Fall wheat
and rye are nearly ready for cutting, and
harvest will commence in the near future.
The hay crop will be very abundant, and the
cattle in the western part OF the State and
Eastern Colorado will not suffer for lack OF
grass. Altogether the crop prospect is as
good as for any previous year, though the
acreage is probably less.

The scheduled game in this city for today
between the Boston Blues and Haverhills
did not take place, but for what reasons does
not appear. At the hour for the game to be-
gin both teams were on the grounds. 1t was
near raining and for hours afterwards it did
not rain sufficiently to interfere with play
ing. Though the weather was cloudy the
grounds were in suitable condition. A
crowd of upwards of 800 assembled outside
of the gates but the gates were locked and
the ticket Office closed ''Why don't they
play" was asked, and no one could give a
satisfactory answer. Manger Murnan Of
the Blues did not put in an appearance at
all. Umpire Bowman, who was to oficiate,
was asked and he could not tell beyond the
fact that Murnan had not turned up" mo

Wen labor day by day.
Up sleeps both rough and rugged,
Wen press with zeal anew.

Well ever keep in view.

Each passing moment warns us,
That we must work, not dream.

UNHAPPY LADY dixie.
An Over Confident and Trusting
Wife Pays for Her Error.
From q London Nnfcial.

From LOnd0a Special.
According to the gossip in aristocratic
feminine circles, where tongues have been
industriously wagging for the past week,
the downfall of Sir Charles Dixie has
come with crushing effect upon mis- de
voted wife, who, if report speaks truly, is
in condition bordering on dementia, and
even those who are lOudest IN their deuun-
citation of the barOnet have a word of pity
for the unfortunate woman whose life ne
has blighted. Lady Dilke's matrimonial
experiences have been decidedly uufOrtu-
nate. She was a bright, vivacioUS, win
some girl when she became the wife of
Mark Pattison, the rector OF Lincoln Col
lege. Pattison was a bOOkWoTm, whose
heart and soul were IN his studies; and
his bride soon found that so far as congo
niality was concerned she might as well
have bound herself to block OF marble.
Not only this, but her husband was Of an
intensely jealous disposition, and while
neglecting to pay her that attention
which, as a wife, she had right to de-
mand, he frOwned down all the attempts
of the circle In which they moved to rem
der her life less burdeDsOme by making her
q cons piouuus feature at their parties and
entertainments. AS natural conse.
quence the union was a most unhappy
one. and for some time prior to PattisOn's
uedlH Ilp couple were virtually separated.
Years of widowhOOd followed, and then
came the secret courtship and engage
ment with Sir Charles Dixie. she was
travelling in India when the scandal cloud
burst, and Immediately telegraphed her
belief in her lovers innocence, and her in-
tention to return home and be mar
ried without del&y. She did so, and
the wedding took place on Oct. last.
Had she allowed the first divorce OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Crawford to end the matter
her titled husband might have lived down
the scandal in a couple of years and
resumed his old position in society and
politics. But strongly impressed with his
innocence, she insisted on his taking the
steps which resulted in the Intervention
of the Queens Proctor. and which brought
out the recent damning disclosures and
second condemnation of Sir Charles. Now
that he is socially and politically ostra-
cized, her dreams have vanished, and the
woman who might have played leading
part in English politics of the future will
probably spend the balance OF her life in
the retirement Of a French chateau, for "A
second time the unfortunate victim OF the

A VISIT TO THE ASTOKS.
How Man of Curiosity Got Inside
the Sanctum SanCtorum,
From Il Neao York Letter.

from q Ne1o York Letter..
know man who desired TO get an
aud with the present heads OF the
Astor family. They are not easily access
slble for strangers. Every caller is re-
CURED to state his business to a clerk,
who communicates with one of the great
milionaires, if necessary, but more than
likely refers the matter to a competent
subordinate. But my friend was bound
to see the Astors, just to crafty his
curiosity, for he had no business with
them. Their offices are In a bank-like
structure, in side street close to Broad
way. On one front door is the name
John Jacob AstOr," and on the other
william w AsIor." He entered an in
terror that was fitted up with high rails
and inciosed desks, so that the visitor
had to make mis- application to a face that
appeared behind an aperture in wired
fence. Two begging sisters of charity were
being politely, but firmly, rebutfed, and
several tenants were paying their rents.
To all inquirers for an Astor the same
answer was given-that neither was to be
seen. The curiosity seeker comprehended
that he would fail unless he resOrted to
some winning device. 81 have an ap-
pOintment with the old gentlemen, "he said
drawing his watch, after the manner of a
hurried man; 81 suppose they are imp
81 will see,' replied the clerk; ''shall 1
take in your cardY' ''If you please"
and the impostOr produced one, "and say
to them that am sorry to be five minu ties
lale."
The ingenuity of the attack brought
victory. He was shown promptly into the
presence of the two Astors. They were
old-iashioned, gray OF hair and whiskers,
and not in any way remarkable to look
at. The apartment was the private office
OF John Jacob AstOr, but William was
there and seemingly dominant with his
larger stature, fuller face and more
emphatic manner. The furniture was
very heavy but PLAN, and the place sug-
gested the presidents room in a bank OF
moderate pretenses. William still held
the card in his hand, and was evidently
trying to recall the name as that of
somebody who had made an appoint
ment
What is it, sir?" he said, inquirIngly.
II called to see whether 1t would be of
any use to make an offer for some real
estate that belongs to you" responded the
caller, cOolly. He knew we'll enough that
he WAS safe, because the Astors sell no
property under any circumstances. Said
William:
81 hardly think so. What piece had you
in mindf' 1.-The Astor House. There is a
project to buy that, and "Quite i'm
practicable. No offer in any amount wou Id
be considered" But he had seen the
AstOrs, all the same.
