The Homestends Make a Sorry Show of

\ The Homesteads mopped up the diamond
with the New Oaklands in a County League
game yesterday. Good, the new catcher of
the Oaklands, failed to appear, and this was a
great drawback to his team. Three different

failures The game was exceedingly oue-sided

About Prize Fighting.

During the week have received two or three
etrers regarding some remarks of mine made
last Sunday relative to prize fighting. One of
the writers, gentleman whom have met /
think, argues that Il am entirely going back
on the best way to test a mans fighting skill
over another man." His letter. and that of
another writer from East Liverpool, are based
entirely on this assumption. Now. have re-
read what wrote last week. and 1 entirely fail
to see where anybody can find license to say
that have gone back" on anything. While /
am pleased to know that such large number
of people read what write, would be more
pleased If what L write was read correctly.
What argued last Sunday was that better
have prize fighting abolished than have it as 1t
is to-day. When prize fighting was patronized as
an honorable sport by the educated and wealthy
the love of victory was stronger than the love
of money. Nowadays all kinds of devices,
honest and dishonest, are employed to gull and
deceive the public so as to obtain money by
either fighting fair or unfair. During these
many years the public has been the victim to
the extent of thousands and thousands of dol
lars. Certainly more money has been extracted
from public pockets during the last six or
seven years by real and alleged prlzefghters
than during any half century when prize
fighting was in its glory. And what wish to
point out is tie science of boxing is not one
whit better to-day than it was 30 40 or so years
ago: besides there is hoodlum class connected
with so-called prize fighting nowadays that had
no influence in days gone by. These few brief
pugilistic encounters were strictly confined to
private clubs the better. L am certainly of
opinion that the Sulivan-Kilrain affair will
hasten a condition of things such as
l refer to. The authorities OF
Utah have followed the example
of those of Mississippi and arrested Frank
Glover and Bates for prize fighting. The
tocsin has been sounded and we need not shut
our eyes to the fact any longer. The press of
the country is dead against the modern style of
pugillsm and now that the law has once been
set in motion against it there will be little
no relaxation as long as .bona fide prize fights
take place. / predict this even though Sulli-
van and Kilrain may ultimately escape the
penalties of the law. The very fact that they
have been brought before the public SO promi-
nently as law breakers has aroused a public
sentiment strongly in favor of vindicating the
law. violator of the law may be exonerated
once, and sometimes twice, but there is a limit
beyond which it is impossible TO- 60 In this re-
spect The example of Governor Lowry will
stand as beacon to other Governors, and 1t is
safe to say it will be followed.

Fortunes in Small Things.

The New Jersey man who hit upon
the idea of attaching rubber eras-
ing tip to the end of lead pencils is
worth 100000. The miner who in
vented a metal rivet or eyelet at each
end of the mouth of coat or trousers
pockets, to resist the strain caused by
the carriage of pieces of ore and heavy
tools, has made more money from his
letters patent than he would have
made had he 'sstruck" q good vein
of gold bearing quartz. Every one
has seen the metal plates that are
used to protect the heels and soles of
rough shoes, but every one dosn't
know that within ten years the man
who hit upon the idea has made $780,
600. AS large a sum as was ever
obtained for any invention was en-
joyed by the Yankee who invented
the inverted glass bell to hang over
gas jets, to prevent ceilings from
being blackened by smoke. A simple
thing? Yes, very. Frequently time
and circumstances are wanted before
an invention is appreciated, but pat
fence is Frequently rewarded, and
richly rewarded, too, for the inventor
of the roller skate has made 100000,
Notwithstanding the fact that his pat
ent had nearly expired before the
before the value of it was ascertained
in the craze for roller-skating that
spread over the country several years
ago. The gimlet-pointed screw has
produced more wealth than most sill
yer mines, and the Connecticut man
who first thought of putting copper
tips on the toes of children's shoes is
as we'll off as if he had inherited ST.
900, 900, for that's the amount his
idea has realized for him in cold,
clammy coin.
The common needle-threader, which
every one has seen for sale, and which
every women owns, was a boon to
needle-users. 1t isn't at all intricate,
and any 15-year-old boy might have
invented it and had an income of S10,-
900 a year from his invention. Few
inventions pay better than popular
patent toys. A minister made $780,
900 over in England by inventing an
odd little toy that danced by winding
it with a string as boy winds a top.
The man who invented the return
ball, an ordinary wooden ball with
rubber string attached to pull it back,
made 100000 from it. The person
who invented the most recent popular
toy, "Pigs in Glover" will be rich be-
fore the leaves turn this atumn, for
there is an unprecedented demand for
it, and tationers cannot supply the
demand. 1t isn't genius in invention
that pays. 1t is the practical appli-
cation of practical idea to practical
uses and every day wants. PutSburg

w ar Statistics.

The choicest parallel between Euro
pean and American battles occurs in
the statistics of Waterloo and Gett-
ysburg. OF these Colonel Fox says ::
cat Waterloo the French numbered
80, 900 men and 252 guns the Allies
numbered $4,000 and 1S6 guns. At
Gettysburg, the Union Army num-
bered $4,000 men and 800 guns the
Confederates, 10000 and 250 guns.
AT Waterloo, Wellington's army lost
%, 185 at Gettysburg, Meade's army
lost %, 003. The loss of the French
at Waterloo has never been officially
announced, but has been estimated at
26,30O; the Confederate loss at Gett-
ysburg, as officially reported by the
Confederate Surgeor-General, was
20, 449, to which must be added 1917
wounded and unwounded prisoners
whose names were ommited from his
lists, but appear on the records at
Washington. In short, the battles
of Waterloo and Gettysburg were
fought with from 10000 to $4,000
men on each side, and the combat
ants lost about 700 EACH" In the
battle of Gravelotte (Franco-Prussian
War; the Germans lost a total of
20,577 out of 146 900 troops engag
ed. This was the heaviest loss the
Germans sustained in any battle. AT
Gettysburg Mead lost more men with
half the number engaged. The ag-
gregate percentages of loss compare
War that of the Germans was 81 per
cent in the Crimean War the Allies
lost 30 per cent in the war of 1866
the Austrian loss was 20 per cent.
In the American Civil War the Union
loss was Al per cent, and that of
the Confederates 9 per cent.
The total loss of the Union armies
was 10000 killed or mortaly wound
ed and 275,175 wounded total, 1885,
245, exclusive of the missing in act
ion, whose number has not yet been
officially stated. OF the men killed,
67,O58 died on the field and 42,O12
of their wounds. But, after all, the
havoc caused by disease was much
greater than that of Confederate bull
lets. The deaths by disease num-
bered 1919, 720, and these do not in
clude the deaths in Confederate
prisons, which reached 24,866.

cit was stolen on the night of his
murder. That's the reason he went
down to Lossing's on FOOT
"Who stole it? What for? An out
slider who stole the saddle for its
worth would have carried it off. An
insider only would have stored it in
the stall. Who was inside? A white
man and two negro assistants. With
in an hour I had ascertained that the
white man, whose name was Foster,
was absent for an hour on the very
evening of the murder, land that since
he had acted very queerly. I arrest
ed him, charged him with the crime,
and he did not hold out fifteen min
utes. His motive was robbery. He
did not intend to kill his victim, but
only stun him. He had just struck
him when the dogs barked greeting
to Graham, and overcome by sudden
fright, Foster dashed away and dared
not return. He thought he had only
to keep still to render himself safe,
and but for my being present when
the saddle was found, he might never
have been suspected. Graham was
cleared and Foster was hanged. The
change had been brought about by
the fondling of dog.

Learning a Trade.

There is vast difference in boys
who start out in life to learn trade.
The time was when young man
serving an apprenticeship put his
whole soul into his business. He
went at it determined to master it,
and stuck to it until he had accom-
plished his object and he went forth
into the world a credit to himself and
his trade. But that time has passed,
as a rule, and now young man
starts as an apprentice, not with
determination to learn the trade thor
oughly and we'll but to learn it quick
ly and become a journeyman. A few
months now suffices him to learn his
trade,-a trade that years of practice
and experience cannot thoroughly
master. We make this statement as
a fact, as it is borne out by investi-
cation and the number of bigoted
workmen that are floating about the
country. A boy with a few months
apprenticeship 'knows it all" and,
getting impatient under instruction,
and with an eye single to the almighty
dollar, leaves his place and applies
for a position as journeyman and
because he will work for less than a
competent mans wages he is engag-
ed, and usually manages to pull thro'
by hook or crook. Such is the stand
ard of workmen to-day, judging by
the majority and by the slight atten-
ton paid to the apprentice system in
this country. But this is neither right
nor just. 1t is most discouraging to
the boy who, with a taste for mechan-
les and a determination to become
proficient in his chosen trade, starts
in to serve his time. He has an in
terest in his work, and is willing to
forego for awhile the pleasures and
luxuries of life that he may educate
himself to take a leading position.
We say it is discouraging, but all
honor to him who has the moral cour-
age and the determined will to do it.
Although we may see others who are
apparently outstripping him in the
race for a livelihood, advancing much
faster than himself, he must remem-
Der that the race is not always to the
swift.

"Good- By-God Bless YOU"

like the Anglo-SaXon speech
With its direct revealings-
1t takes a hold and seems to reach
Way down into your feelings;
That some folks deem it rude, know,
And therefore they abuse it;
But 1 have never found it So
Before all else 1 choose it.
1 don't object that men should air
The Gallo they have paid for
With eau revoir, +" "adieu, ma chere'-
For that's what French was made for,
But when a crony takes your hand
At parting to address you,
He drops all foreign lingo and
He says, "Good -by-Go bless you'll"
This seems to me sacred phrase
With reverence impassioned-
A thing come down from righteous days,
Quantity but nobly fashioned;
1t well becomes an honest face;
A voice that's round and cheerful;
1t stays the sturdy in his pace
And soothes the weak and fearful,
Into the porches of the ears
1t steals with subtle JUNCTION,
And in your heart of hearts appears
To work its gracious function;
And all day long with pleasing song
1t fingers to caress you
Pm sure no human heart goes wrong
That's told "Good- bye-God bless you!"
l love the words-perhaps, because,
When L was leaving mother,
Standing at last in solemn pause
We looked at one another,
And II saw in mothers eyes
The love she could not tell me
A love eternal as the skies,
Whatever fate befell me;
She put her arms about my neck
And soothed the pain of leaving,
And, though her heart was like to break,
She spoke no word of grieving.
She let no tear bedim her eye,
For fear that might distress me,
But kissing me, she said goodbye,
And asked our God to bless me.

So Much May Be Done.

There is much that may be done
While the glittering lifesands run;
Ifye be but earnest minded,
If ye go not weakly blinded
By gay fashions heartless folly,
Or a selfish melancholy;
BY momentary pleasure,
Or love of ease and leisure;
Lured not by fitting beauty
From the narrow path of duty,
Much there is that may be done
By an earnest-minded one.
There is much that may be done
BY gentle, loving one!
Her sweet mercy's prayer TO breathe;
Her the manly brow to wreathe
In fadeless garlands from above,
Gemmed with the dew of Heavens love
To soothe the careworn, troubled breast,
To guard the weary pilgrims rest,
To close the eyes of age and youth,
To whisper of celestial truth,
Much-ah, much-may e'er be done
By gentle, loving one.
