WORCESTER, June 10, 1sS9,-Manager
Powers pets met Captain Cudworth's
men here yesterday afternoon, and
were taken into camp. Although the
local club had gathered double as many
runs. the Jerseymen made a determined
effort to tie the score when they went to
the bat for the ninth time. Their gallant
rally only Melted -four runs, however, and
they were compelled to have ~chronicled
their second successive defeat.
Daley retired from the box in the sixth
inning and was replaced by Lyons:
Eleven of the local team and twelve OF
the visitors were sent to first base on
balls, the twirling being unusually wild
all around. A wretched fielding game
was played by the J~erseyites, Lang alone
making three costly errors. The game
was also a rather long winded affair.

A Tenacious Memory.
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.


Upin North Georgia some years ago
there was young farmer who was as
poor as Jobs turkey. He was very ig-
norant, and did not even know his let
tiers. One day tourist paused to rest
under tree where the farmer was eat
ing his dinner, and recited a pretty
poem. The young man was pleased
with it, and the stranger gave him a
written copy. But it was useless to
man who could not read, and the tray
eler had to go over it with his finger,
pointing out each word and letter.
After his friend left, the countryman
went home and took his first
writing lesson from the written poem.
One letter was miSsing-the letter Il.
The next day he walked five miles to
see neighbor. who showed him how to
make it, and then he was master of the
alphabet. He got spelling book and
reader. and studied them by a pine
knot fire. Two years later he visited
Mercer university, at Penfield, during
vacation time, and the professors
showed him through the building. ssHe
questioned me for an hour" said the
professor of chemistry, land went
away knowing more about the science
than some young men who have studied
it two terms.'' ssAnd l talked with him
an hour" said the professor of English
literature, land he extracted from me
enough information to fill volume"
The young fellow had wonderful
memory. 1t stuck to everything. He
entered the university and became
noted for his strong, clear style and his
varied attachments.

BLAINE is provided with soft chair In
his fathers department, and the only

is picking up better things than salaries
without duties. His fathers name is
the magic word that opens up the caves
that have no gloom. He has an inter-
estin printing house in Helena. and
it is announced from there that the po-
tent name has brought him in the terri
torial printing contracts, and it is pre-
sumed that the judicious use of the
things dispensed in the paternal name
will bring him the senatorship. He
would never have been heard of outside
of his town had he not had a father.
The father would not probably have
been thought of for president if he had
not had a grandfather. Under this adj
ministration it is great thing to have
"a father or some ancestor.

FOREIGN TRAVEL.

Unless compelled by the notes of
patriotism sounded at Washington, or
the memorable demands of business, it
is not presumed any one would lose the
enjoyment of the peerless weather diff
fused so plentifully in this latitude of
late. But if there are those who intend
to cross the Atlantic this season they
would do well to secure their berths.
1t is reported that on most of the steam
erS the berths are being secured mouths
in advance, as the travel promises to be
much larger than usual. The estimates
are put as high as $4,000 for the tourists
to the old world this season. They are
not eXpunged officeholders, either, to
any great extent. There are more who
won travelling expenses on the last cleo
ton, Or who have fattened on trusts.
They will probably leave 100000, 900 in
the old country. There will be new
sets of ministers, consuls and emissarieS
sent out by the government to see old
things, or hold up United States flag
over their boarding houses. Those in
this section who can do so will do better
to stay at home.

SOLDIER LONGEYITY.

Some figures recently cleaned from
the pension bureau by a medical au-
thority shows that the average age of
the soldiers who draw their own pen
sions is fifty years, and of the deceased
pensioners fifty-six years. The average
age of the soldiers widows is sixty-one
years; of the fathers of the pensioners
Seventy-nine years, and of the mothers
seventy-fve years. 1t is assumed from
these figures that the sons would have
lived as long as the parents but for the
hardshiDs Of war, aud that the average
shortage is twenty-three years. There
is nothing to show the longevity of the
large soldier element now on the pension
rolls. 1t is presumed that the drafts
upon vitality in the war considerably
shortens the average life with them.

A DIsSOLVING SOUTH.

The New York World hits the nail
squarely on the head when it says 'sthe
end of sectlonalism will be the begin
ming of tariff reform"
The Worlds sagacious remark is
used in connection with its forecast of
President HARRIsoN's Southern policy.
Although he distinctly stated in his in
augural address that his administration
would have no distinctively sectional
policy. it is well known that Gen. HAIR
RIsoN has in mind to dissolve the solid
ity of the Democratic vote in the South
through the lnstrumentality of the
tariff. Gen. ROGER A. PRYOR, who
ought to know the character and ten
denotes of the Southern people, tells
the New York Herald, in lengthy
interview, that if President HARRISON
will conduct his administration on this
line, ard will appoint respectable char
acters to office in the Southern states, he
will break up what is called the solid
South and attach very large proper
ton of the Southern vote to the Repub-
liean party. He furthermore asserts
that ''the actual indications of public
sentiment in the South are all in the
direction of protective tariff; for the
people see in their manufacturing in-
terests the promise and potency of a
new and more flourishing regime
1t is undeniable that what Gen.
PRYOR says has truthful application
to some of the Southern states. The
development of the mineral resources
of hn txvo
and the impetus that has been given
the manufacture of cotton goods in
Georgia, have contributed to bring
about the conditions which Gen. PRYOR
describes. The mine owners and mill
operators of the South are probably
just as selfish as the mine owners of
Pennsylvania or the mill operators of
New England. Sectionalism doesn't
exert much influence ON human avarice.
The spirit of greed is just as rampant
in a warm climate as in cold one,
Therefore. we are prepared to accept
the truthfulness of Gen. PRYoR's state
mentS.
But when the sectional line is abol-
ished the farmers of the West will have
nothing to stir up their war prejudices,
and will be in better frame of mind to
look after their own interests. When
they see Southern ariStocrats joining
with the New England nabobs, and all
of them filling their pockets through
the operations of the protective tariff,
the Western farmers viii be apt to lay
aside their foolish fears and prejudices,
and begin to think about protecting
their own pockets.
We know that nine-tenths of the
farmers Of the Northwest approved
President CLEvELAND's tariff policy,
and yet their sectional prejudices were
strong enough to induce them to vote
against their convictions. The shadow
of the solid South, and nothing else,
kept the Northwestern farmers in the
Republican line at the last election.
We hope, therefore. to see President
HARRISON inaugurate his policy of
winning Southern states to the Repub-
lican party through the agency of the
protective tariff; and what is more we
hope to see him succeed. When. he has
dissolved the solid South and has there
by wiped out the sectional line, the

afternoon, the facts of which are as fol-

Ex-County Attorney W. S. Barbour
name Bill Elford, alias Razor Bill"
accosted the day operator, L.. E. Hop

accused him of saying something about
Barbour's family. Some hot words en-
sued, and finally Barbour drew re-
vOlver and threatened to shoot Hopkins,
warning him that the next time they
met Hopkins would have to eat lead.
Hopkins returned inside the depot to
his duties, and in few minutes he had

Barbour had emptied his gun Elford,

up and shooting several more shots
after him. Hopkins gave himself up
and Elford was arrested. Barbour
staggered and fell, but received at
tentien, and at present is resting
very well. All three balls were probed
for and found. 1t is not thought that he
is dangerously wounded, as the shot in
the stomach went around between the

The wound in the left arm is the most
serious. Hopkins was released on $4,000

At length we have white elephant,
IN Bolivar, of the Geological gardens.
When Keeper Prendergast took down
the shutters of the elephant house yes
terday morning he was startled almost
out OF his boots at seeing what appeared
to be but the ghost of Bolivar standing
in the place where he had left the
mighty monster safely chained fore and
aft the night before.
1t was Bolivar, but he was white as
snow. The keeper had Deyer before
known an elephant to turn white in a
night outside of the circus business.
Calling in Headkeeper Byrne, an in
Vestlgatlon was begun which developed
an explanation, and at the same time a
strange story of love and its adornment,
which is all the more curious because
1t is true. Bolivar's companions
IN the massive cage are two elephants
OF the gentler sex, Empress and Jennie,
Since he came among them he has been
shifting his affections from one to the
other In manner most diStracting to
good-natured jealousy.
Some time ago it was determined to
enlarge the cage. The masons left their
tools lying upon some barrels of plaster
OF paris near the temporary partition.
Among them was a large steel scoop
shovel. Empress climbed up during the
night, and, reaching Ter long trunk
over. she seized the shovel by
the handle and began to serenade
Bolivar by banging it upon the iron
bars in front of huge cage. Not to be
outdone in paying Bolivar attentions.
Jennie reached over and seized barrel
OF the plaster of paris. She tossed it
down on the floor and, placing one of
her dainty feet upon it. crushed in the
slaves. Then she began to adorn Boil
uar with the white powder.
He did not like it. but being securely
chained he could not do more than rise
to his feet and shake himself. III was
of no avail aDd Empress attempted to
come to his rescue by running her trunk
into a barrel Of water, which stood
upon the other side of the partition.
and then blowing it upon Bolivar
Ill an attempt to wash off the
plaster. The water only held out long
enough for her to wet him from head
to foot. while Jennie had plenty of
powder left, and she continued to toss
it upon him. The water made it stick
and set, and thus it was that the zoo had
