ANOTHER GAFFNeY IDEA.
What lie Thinks would Put stop to An
Kicking.

What lie Thinks Would Put stop TO All
Kicking.
Umpire GaffneY while IN Philadelphia re-
Gently, 10 North An'riccn reporter, ad-
vanced a novel idea to prevent kicking.
Said he: Il don't know that it can be done
away with altogether but il can be reduced
TO minimum speedily and effectively by
the adoption OF very simple plan. The
umpire is compelled 10 stand all the abuse
the spectators and players may choose TO
heap upon him. You fine the players. What
does it amount tol It's likely they'll give
you the laugh and tell you TO fine and be
darncd the club VIII pay IL anyhow
But let the association pass rule giving
all fines TO the umpire who may assess
them, and you'll see how quickly kicking
will become one OF the lost arts. Here's
the way some of the gentlemanly players
will argue: Wei. I'll not open my head TO
that sucker and let him fine me a tenner.'
II such a rule were made the players would
cease kicking, If for no other reason than
20 prevent the umpire prohtng By any act
OF theirs"
II was suggested that such q rule would
give the umpire rather dangerous authori-
ty. "Not at ALL" answered Gaffney. DO
YOU suppose if such rule had been in
force during the Athletic games at Cincin-
natl that Doescher would have had the
chance TO levy over 600 IA fines! In tho four
years that have been umpiring my fines
amount to s!65, 500 of which put on Anson
for using vile eplthcis. Let them adopt
that rule on Monday, and in one month a
ball game Will be as orderly rs prayer
meeting"

That Missionary Quilt.
Correspondence Of the DEMOCRAT.


 Having long looked in vain for some notice Of the disposition of the quilt prepared ty the Woman's Missionary Society of Russellville, and believing that the good women that labored so long and faithfully in making and getting so many names to adorn the quilt and replenish the Missionary treasury would like to see some public state ments Of It's disposal, write the following account:
 On Saturday night of the District Conference, it being June 30th, al the Missionary meeting tue quill was presented. Uncle Caleb Davis proposed to be one of ten to pay 5t cts. each for the quilt and give it te the preacher on Dover Circuit. Ir rapid succession the halt dollars came Tn till eleven were handed te the secretary. The quilt was ther passed over to me by Bro. Martin.
 It is a very nice quilt and tn, names, amounting to over l20, ado very much to it's beauty and make i very interesting. l frequently reat the names, many of whom l car name as personal friends. should be glad to know all whose names arr on it, for I am sure that l coule count them all as my friends.

There has been rumor for some time past that some gentleman in Gilliman had drawn five thousand dollars in The Louisiana State Lottery but no certain intelligence as to the matter having reached ns, the Progress reporter at Gilliman, MT.

DILLON WANTS THE EARTH

Oh what crowd! Even the heart
Of that veteran actor and prince of come
dams, John Dillon, must have danced
with delight as he beheld that sea of
happy faces that greeted him at Fosters
Opera House last evening. 1t was not
full, but perfect jam, every seat, isle
and corner being occupied, and when
the popular favorite made his appear
ance fully twelve hundred people mani
tested their appreciation of his great
abilities by loud and continued applause.
The play was his new farce comedy
entitled, WANTED the Earth" that is
scoring great success everywhere, and
well it may, for the piece fits Dillon and
Dillon fits the piece. In fact, Nj. Dil-
lon has not been so happily cast since
he electrified the continent in Call the
Rage" The piece is not without faults
from dramatic standpoint, but like the
" Bunch of Keys" and other light come
dies, the fun is so fast and furious that
one forgets everything but to laugh. 1t
is also pleasure to note that the star is
not handicapped by a weak company,
each member is capable, and some
strong, and when we add that Mr.. Dill;
lon has lost none of his old-time fire and
charm it goes without saying that bet
ter satisfied audience.has ever, if rarely,
been within the walls of the theatre

OBITUARY.

Died, on Sunday evening, Feb. 5, 1888,
after an illness of eight months. Mary
P, wife of J. A. Loomis, aged SO years.
Mary Parker was born in Coventry, Toll
land county, Connecticut, Feb. 9, 1919.
She was one of a family of ten children
born to Asa and Hannah Parker. She
was married April IA, 1910, to Mr.. J. A.
Loomis, and they remained residents OF
Coventry until 1857, when they moved
to Kenosha county, and have ever since
resided in the town of Bristol. Two
sisters and a brother of Mrs. LOOMS
survive her, and she leaves husband
and three daughters, two living near by,
and one in Minnesota, who, from dis
lance and the condition of the railroads,
was prevented from attending the
funeral. In 1858 she united by profess
sion of her faith with the Bristol and
Paris Congregational church, and has
always maintained a consistent christian
character. Her life, though unmarked
by striking events, was beautiful in its
unwearyingly faithful discharge of the
duties of home, neighborhood and So
ciety. and her memory will be like the
fragrance of the unobtrusive violet. The
funeral services were conducted by the
Rev. 0. B. Thayer, and the remains
were inferred in the Tarbell graveyard.
