BASE BALL.

PORTLAND, IL; MAINE STATE COLLEGE, L.
1t was pretty warm yesterday and not a
bad day for ball game. The result was
that the Portlands played the sbarpest field
ing game yet, although their work was mode
easy by the fine pitching of Mitchell, who
struck out 13 men. In the four innings be-
ginning with the second, Mitchell struck out
ten men and two hits were made off him. In
the second and third innings six men struck
out in succession. Every man on the State
College team had had strike out at Mitch
ellis hands. On the other hand Small Of last
years Portlands, now a member of the State
College, was.quite effective against the home
nine. They batted him about the same that
the New England league teams used to last
year. Koons put the ball over the left field
fence in the first inning, bringing in Fussel-
bach ahead Of him. Three hits were made
in the second inning by the Portlands, which
with several errors gave them three runs.
For the next two innings they did little hit
ting. In the fifth the ball was hit hard and
run resulted. In the sixth run was made
on errors. In the seventh Brady hit for two
bases. and single by O'Rourke, with Jan err
rOT Dy IHilDIOOk Bdfo tWO runs. III Lne
eighth, after two men were out Brady hit
about score Of fouls and then succeeded in
putting the ball safe close by third base.
Two runs resulted in the ninth, O'Rourke
being hit by pitched ball, Mitchell hitting
for one base and Prince for two. The Orono
boys got their only run and saved shut out
in the sixth inning,on an easy muff by Prince
and the failure of Myers to stop a ground
ball. For the Portlands Fusselbach played
fine game at third, and McCloskey aid ex-
cellent work behind the bat. Koons kept up
his reputation for hard batting. and Brady
was well up in this respect. Small and Rog-
ers did the batting for the visitors. The
catching of Rogers would not suffer by COM
parison with that of professional The
State College team, by reason Of their bate
ry, ought to make good showing in the
Maine College League. The score follows:

NEW YORK. April 26.-The Herald has
this despatch from Paris:
Mr.. Chamberlain, Pasteur's Texas patient,
may now be considered out of danger. Mon
day he was inoculated for the last time at
Pasteur's institute. On Saturday he sails for
America by the Gascogne with his brother
and DR.. Spohn.
The great savant was presented with a
gold-headed cane and 10000 francs for his
institute
Pasteur was much affected. "My dear
friends" said he, sit is a great joy for me to
feel that the treatment to which | have de-
voted my life has again succeeded. L only
hope DR.. Spohn will just take out two rabbits
and two preparations of virus in glycerine.
With these he will be able to start the biggest
thing in America. Four Pasteur institutes
exist in Italy, eight in Spain, one in Rio de
Janeiro, one in Buenos Ayres, and another
in Savannah, in the United States, how
ever, the idea so far seems TO have fallen fiat.
Now, dear friends, / ask one favor. Use
your own influence to stop the silly senti-
mental crusade against vivisection. With
out viyisection the world will be deprived of
half the benefits of science. How can people
who eat meat be anti-yivisectionists? Who
shall say that man must sacrifice the good of
his kind because of the possible pain to an
infnitesimal portion of a lower race?

Senator ,Edmunds's Cap.

Senator Edmunds is the only Senator who
now habitually wears one of the little black
caps that few years ago were so common
among the Senators. General Burnside in
augurated the custom, and several of his col
leagues, who had the misfortune to be bald
headed, followed suit The little cap be-
came quite fashionable, but few years ago
the style changed, and the Senate did not
have a single cap. A few weeks ago. how
ever, Senator Edmunds brought the custom
into vogue again. His brainy head is so very
bald that the many draughts about the cor
ridors of the building were too suggestive of
pneumonia, and the Vermont Senator resort
ed to his old time head covering. He does
not wear the cap while in the Senate Cham
ber. The moment he enters he ipulls it off
and throws it on his desk, to be donned
again the moment he leaves this chamber.
Mr.. Edmunds's cap is too small for his head.
and he presents very peculiar appearance
as he walks along the corridors or sits in the
Supreme Court chamber, with the little black
cap perched on his big bald head. He wore
it on one of his rare visits to the House of
Representatives, a few days ago, and ere
ated considerable amusement for the irrev-
erent members.

cality Is an excuse for refusal.

The general condition of business
throughout the country, as reflected
from the weekly summary of Dun Il
Co., is certainly most encouraging and
assuring for the immediate future. The
advance in prices along the entire line
of commerce and industry shows be-
vond question healthier tone and re-
turn of general confidence, such az has
not prevailed for many months, and en-
courages the belief that the worst effects
of the commercial and financial stress is
passed. There seems TO be nothing in
the way Of general revival of business
activity in all branches and in every d.
rection. We predict that this change is
the setting in of an era Of prosperity
such as the country has not enjoyed for
months and years.
