BASE BALL.
Hopkinsville VS.. Keen Kutters''
At Dunbar's Cave, Hopkins
vile Wins by a Score
OF u to 9.

The lIopkinsville Club and the
"Kecn Kutters' of Pembroke went
over TO Dunbar's Cave, Tuesday, and
played the match game of the season.
Several games have previously been
played between these mines this sea-
son, but none proved as interesting
as the game on Tuesday. OF the two
thousand people at the Farmers Re-
union, fully eight hundred witnessed
the game. The game was very
close one throughout, but our home
team proved too much for the "Kut-
ters." When the score, which was
l2to 0 in favor of Hopkinsville, was
announced, the boys were loudly
chccrcd.
Mr.. Frank Beaumont umpired the
game, and while some of his decis
ions were considered little of, hi
was not partial to either club ant
makes a good man for the place.
The "Clippers," End nine of THU
city, will play the second nine o
Pembroke in Sharp's Field to-mor
row afternoon. The game will b.
called at 80.

Last Sunday night during the
storm, lightning struck the Jones
Bros, dwelling house, near Beverly.
Mr.. John Jones who was in the house
at the time, was knocked insensible
and remained in that condition sew

damaged and the house considerably
torn up, There was no other person
in the house at the time it was struck
and Mr.. Jones was in adjoining room
to the one most damaged, which &C
counts for his narrow escape from
instant death.

Clever swindlers Who succeed.

The most successful of swindlers among
men are those who promise to crafty the
greed of their fellows. This is why sawdust
games flourish with degree of prosperity
that puts all other forms of cheating to the
blush. People will travel 5000 miles to buy
$4,000 worth of counterfeit money for
$1,000, and when they find they have bought
nothing but sawdust, the consciousness that
they have met a man who is sharper than
themselves, keeps their mouths shut. The
female swindlers usually pick out credu-
lous man or one who is overwhelmed with
sense of his own Importance, and by clever.
ness and unceasing devotion manage to in
terest him. Once secured they hold On with
a grip Of iron. The least clever women
swindlers make easy victims Of men by
practicing on their conceit or pride Brook
