BALTIMORE, ND, May l0.-Sam Jones
and Sam Small, the noted evangelists, had
not been in Baltimore twelve hours before
leading members of the Young Mems
Christian Association and several Meth
odist preachers requested them to strike a
blow at progressive euchre.
This fascinating society game has had
a regular craze in Baltimore, and the
church people in particular are very fond
OF 1t. Sermons by pastors on the subject
have had but little effect on the euchre-
plaving members. Hence the appeal to
the eVangelIsts.
''Pll go for them," said Jones. $50 will

. Here is what Evangelist Jones told the
dudes ard the bellies about their favorite
pastime;
"a grand jury that would indict a
blackleg for going into gambling hell
and would not indict any one who played
progressive euchre would fOrs swear itself.
You will never put down gambling till
you put down progressive euchre. They
say, 'Oh, it's game of soience.' Well,

Sad Story of the Death of a Soprano
Singer Unesrthed by Reporter.

Sad Story of the Death of a Soprano
Singer Unesrthed by Reporter.
BosToN, ay 1O.-A peculiar story,
which promises to develop into society
scandal of large proportions, has been
brought to light by reporter who was
investigating what he supposed to be a
case Of body-snatching.
Miss Ella N. Abbott. an attractive little
lady of 80 years, has been for some years
the leading soprano at the fashionable
Arlington Street Congregational church
in the Back Bay district. She was a
musical artist of unusual ability, and
had appeared successfully in many con-
eerts in Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and other cities. She had rooms at the
fashionable Hotel Pelham, where she re-
ceived pupils from the first families of
Boston society Miss Abbott herself was
a plump little woman, with fair COM
plexion ana soft brown hair, and her re-
fined manners and unusual talent gave
her easy entree into BOstOn's best social
circles. In The church she was especially
popular, and when, fortnight ago, she
died suddenly, after a brief illness, she
was sincerely mourned. The cause of
her death was not generally known, but
it was understood TO be pneumonia. The
funeral took place at the church, and
was largely attended. Inc DOdy was
buried in Mt. Hope cemetery.
A day or two ago it began to be whis-
pered IN society that the favorite singers
grave had been desecrated by robbers. A
reporter who started to investigate the
rumOr found after patient investigation
that it was not strictly true, but at the
same time made the startling discovery
that Miss Abbott had died a victim of
malpractice.
Her grave had actually been opened
after the funeral. but the body was dug up
in accordance with prearranged plan by
the Boston Medical Examiner, who took
it into Boston to have an autopsy per-
formed. This course was taken to avoid
unnecessary scandal, and it was hoped
that the facis would escape publication.
The autopsy was held yesterday. and last
night the body was returned to the grave.
The autopsy proved conclusively the
cause Of death.

were required to decide the game. The
game was loosely played on both sides,
the visitors doing a lot of kicking against
Brennan's decisions. In the first half of
the tenth inning the Macon team took off
Their uniforms to leave the grounds be-
cause of a rank decision. The Macon
manager announced to the crowd,
however, that he would play the
game through for the sake Of the audi
ence. The score stood four for Memphis
and three for Macon when the latter went
to the bat for he tenth inning. Macon
succeeded in making two runs, and won
the game by to 4. There was much
