sss,ooo,ooo for Negro Education.

SoS,OOU,OOO 1or Negro EQucaClon.
From the Waco Day.
Statistics show that the southern states
have contributed over $38,000,000 for ne
gro education since the enfranchiseme emit
of that race, and their progress has been
very satisfactory. This enormous sum
has been contributed mainly by the white
people, who pay the bulk of the taxes,
though of course the colored have paid
their share in proportion to their owner
ship of property. What we desire to
say in this connection, however, is
that the Blair bill proposes to add to the
educational fund of the south to be ex-
pended within six or eight years, sum
twice as large as we have expended in
twenty years, the bulk of which would go
to the negroes as the more illiterste class,
Whether the south wants such help is for
the people to say, but it is more than
likely that unless the offer is accepted
soon the treasury surplus which copsti-
tutes the fund will be squandered on less
worthy objects.

TABLES TURNED.
Hard Luck and Rotten Umpirlng
Cost Austin a tame.

CCSC AuSCln Idme.
Boggianno is considered the best um-
pire 10 the league, and he does generally
give excellent satisfaction, but his work
yesterday was simply horrible. He
seemed completely wed led to the idea that
Dallas must win, and his marvellous deci-
sIons certainly contributed to that result
And as if this we're not enough,
Austin was overtaken by
streak of bad luck that it
seemed impossible to overcome. Neither
side came near scoring in the first two in'
nings, Austin only sending seven and Dal-
las six men to the bat in both these in
nings. 1t was in the third
inning for Austin that Boggi-
ammo got in his fine work. Duane
had gotten his base on balls and safely to
second on Welch's failure to hold the ball
thrown him by Crothers in his attempt
to make a double play on Bates, short hit.
Then Hutchinson struck out, but O'Con
nor made a single and Duane
came in home from second. But
Just as he reached the home
plate safely in came the ball from right
field where O'Connor had sent it, and it
came wild, being beyond the home plate
some ten feet. But it struc6 Boggianpo
on the leg, and he ordered Duane back to
third base. 1t was decision for which
no possible ground of reason can be
found, nor does any rule provide for
such a summary act on the part of the
umpire. The crowd was justly indignant
and demanded of Duane that he should
not go back to third, but this
he finally, ft'r much protesting,
did. The result was he was forced
out at home on short hit by TRULY and
then Mussey struck ont, and Austin was
deprived of at least one run If not more.
Austin got her only run of the game in
the fourth inning in this way: Andrews,
the first man at the bat, made..a two-base
hit. Tobias struck out, Land made
a hit, Duane struck out, and
then upon Bates single Andrews scored
and Land went around to third. With
two men on bases Austin had a splendid
chance to get in two more runs. Hutchin-
son was hit and the bases were full. But
O'Connor failed at the critical moment
and could only pop up little fly to third
base.
Dallas in her half of that inning made
two runs, and with one man on base il
looked "a if she would have another tally,
as Firle knocked a line fly into deep right
field, but Andrews made a wonderful one
handed catch and saved the score.
Austin's specially hard luck was in the
fifth and seventh innings. In the fifth
with nobody out, Austin had man on
third and another on fret, when Andrew:
sent line drive to third, right
into Jordan's hands, and he simply
-. 30 l.
base and cut TRULY off, making
az unsssisted double play. Again, in the
seventh inning, Austiu had man on third
with only one out, when Mussey hit g
vicious line ball to Firle, who caught il
bravely and sent it to third, cutting of
OConnor. The decision there was ex
ceedingly close, and 0'Connor, as the bas,
rnnner, should have had the benefit of tn,

doubt. But Boggianno was not umpiring
that way. Dallas made her last run in the
seventh inning, on three singles, one after
the other after two men were out.
Boggisnno was also away off on balls
and strikes, in one instance calling
strike on Tobias that went a foot
higher than his head. Austin
wants no more such umpiring.
Boggannio can do better and Austin e1-
poets it of him. Game will be called this
afternoon at 4:45 and Austin will win it.
