There was trouble at the Capital Baseball
grounds yesterday.
The Mount Vernons and the d. C.s, two
baseball clubs Of local fame. were waging
fierce contest for sweet charity's sake, and
interest was at white heat in oil quarters
One umpire had been tried, found wanting,
and rccgated To obscurity. George Kelly
stepped In TO I'll the aching void with rash
daring that could not but command admira-
tiOn.
lie had volunteered to umpire baseball
game IN Swampoodle.
Mr. George Swartz was playing third base
for the d. C,s. The neet-footod representative
OF the Mount Nernons on second started, and
at almost the identical moment the ball and
the runner reached third base.
"Not out" said Mr.. Kelly.
"You are wrong" said Mr.. Swartz, with
portentious emphasis.
The usual dialogue under such circum-
stances ensued, and with sulphuric aocompani-
ments with the customary climax.
Mr.. Swartz slugged the umpire.
There was no more umpire or third base
material available, and the game came to an
abrupt termination, neither side having
scored.
Charity, attended by Faith and Hope, had
rraced the occasion. But Peace had failed to
flutter her white wings over the scene, and
officer Hagan had to get along the best he
could without her.
Mr.. swartz was locked up, giving the fcti-
tous name of Robert Ice. lie forfeited SO
collateral rather than appear in the Police
Court to day.
Mr. Kelly was handled with an utter abb
sencc of that tender delicacy which should
characterize all intercourse twixt baseball

A Huge Advertising Banner Hung In

A banner has been stretched across Penn
sylvauia avenue from the store OF Messrs. Bar
bour & Hamilton to the Metropolitan Hotel,
on the opposite side of the Avenue, bearing au
advertisement of anew brand of cigarettes. The
sight is a surprise to our citizens, whose indig-
nation was great at such use of Pennsylvania
avenue for the advertisement of goods and
wares.
On all sides are heard indignant comments
on the city authorities for allowing the fine
thoroughfare to be prostituted to such uses,
"Why, it is an outrage" said one gentle
man, "that the finest thoroughfare in our city
should be given up to such purposes, aud once
the innovation is started there is no telling
where it will end; every one will try to outdo
his neighbor, and we may expect to see moth
