SOOD BATTING By The SENATOR'S. BUT BETTER
BATTING BIT THEIR oPPoyESrs-HoY AND MACE
PLAY wzLL-oTHER aAMEs-How THE RECORD
sTASDs-SorEs OF THE BALL rIELD.
The Senators were afflicted with a bad case
of rattles in Philadelphia yesterday, and lost
the game by the score Of IA to- 2. Healy and
Mack, and Sanders and Clements were begun
with a. batteries, but neither did very good
work, and before the game was over-it lasted
two hours and fifteen minutes-Keefe was SUBJ
stituted for Healy, and Gleason for Sanders.
1t would probably have been better had Keefe
gone in to pitch earlier in the game, for in the
two innings he pitched no one hit him safely.
The Press says of the game: "The Phillies
had on their batting clothes yesterday and
right royalty did they line out Mr.. Healy's
curves. Try as hard as he might he could not
keep the Quakers from hitting the ball. The
Phillies scored one in the first on base on
balls, steal. a wild throw and safe hit. In
the second Irving's single and Hallmans triple
gave them another. In the third a double, a
muh by Sweeney, and a single gave them their
third run. In the fifth two bases on balls, two
steals. double and a single, two passed balls
and a wild pitch melted them three more.

added four. No more runs we're made until the
eighth. when two safe hits and Q sacrifice gave
them their seventh and their last run. Gleason
took Sanders place in the seventh and was
batted for two hits in the three innings. The
attendance was 2.0i0."
The Times thus notes the contest: "Morrill
was way below par. his wild throwing being
very picturesque. Fumbles and wild throws
were also made by other members of both
teams and they helped to run up the score.
MACK and Hoy excelled for the visitors
they securing six hits between them. Ebright
also got a single and double, which were of the
oppOrtune kind.
Hoy did the better work for Washington
and ne cut of more than one hit by his fast
sprinting."
Washington made IS hits and errors, and
Philadelphia IA hits and errors
The only other league game PLAYED was in
Boston. where the HubbHes knocked out
another victory from New York by the score of
3 to 4. Radbourne and CAMEL, and WEIGH and
Ewing were the batteries. The Giants made II
hits and errors and Boston 3 hits and errors

Mr.. Tickling moved that committee Of five
be appointed to confer with the Pennsylvania
railroad company with view to ascertaining
what that company might do towards providing
railroad in place of a canal. The motion was
carried. and a committee appointed composed
Chas. Tickling, and II. P. Gilbert.
DISTRESS ALONG THE CANAL.
MIR. Leetch called attention to the distress
along the canal caused by the food He said
there were from 1000 to ], 800 men, women,
and children whose homes were literally upon
| the canal large majority Of them were to-
| day utterly destitute. He presumed that hun
| dreds of them were unable to saw to-day where
| they would get a meal tomorrow. They were
left along the canal all the way from George
| town to Cumberland People did not he
thought, fully appreciate the amount of trade
| that had been brought to Georgetown by the
| canal men. Already, he had no doubt. the
merchants felt the effects Of the withdrawal OF
| the trade.
Mr.. F. L. Moore, who with Mr.. John T.
Mitchell is member of the citizens committee
| for the relief of the food sufferers said there
| was ample funds to relieve all the suffering be
tween here and Cumberland. Several large
subscriptions had been made with the under
standing that half should go to the needy per
sons along the canal and the Potomac. The
question was. he said. whether all the boatmer
| were destitute. An instance came to his notice
yesterday. man who had his mules idle was
asked what he would charge for his own labo,
and that OF his mules to work in repairing the
Georgetown level, and he named an exorbitan
price. He thought if they would work for tn,
usual wages they could be supplied with work
IL any one heard of any boatman's family wht
was destitute anywhere between Georgetown
and Cumberland he should notify Mr.. Mitchell
or himself and relief would be extended
| Mr.. Benz. Miller related the case OF one boa
captain who had been on the canal for wears
and who now had no home to take his famil
to and no trade at which he could work. III,
wanted to sell his mules so as to get back 4
Cumberland. where he thought he could find
shelter under his daughters roof

future of the colored race and condition and

Then there is the hollow-eyed and hopeless
throng, or ordinary everyday ofice-seekers
Each comes by himself, but those about him
are his brothers. They all know that the effort
is hopeless, but they can't stop trying. 1t
keeps them occupied. They form the largest
group. There is a certain door they must pass
through. Standing near it you may hear each
one utter a weary sigh as he languidly takes off
his hat.
The impression has gone abroad that this is
very religious administration. number of
clever hypocrites have taken to dressing like
ministers and writing religious sentiments on
their cards. They try this especially on Private
Secretary Halford, who is a very serious, de-

THE PRESIDENTS DooRKEEpER.
Many attempts made to fool the Presi-
dents private doorkeeper. The most common
thing is for old stagers to pretend that they are
| making their first call. This is q very unsuc-
cessful ruse. Doorkeeper Loef1ler has been toe
| long in the service to be taken in SO easily. He
| remembers every face that passes through his
door. He has been heard to say to callers who
| questioned his recollection of them. ''Oh, yes
| l recollect. you called on Mr.. Garfield" or per
haps it might be Hayes or Grant they had
called on last, he would remember it. So the
men who want to appear strangers are sure to
meet with failure. Loeffler is a German. He
| was a sergeant detailed as Stantons private mes
| senger. He was with Stanton at the time OF
Lincoln's assassination, and during the trial.
in $50 he was ordered to the White House fol
| the duty he is now on and has been there ever
since. He has had an eventful experience and
is very familiar with things in the personal his
tory OF twenty-five years ago that are not gen
| orally known. His recollection of faces is re
markable, and a man who the President doe
not want to see never gets by his door the sec
! ond time.

A Good Investment of Sheep.

A farmer once employed a young
man. All too soon the farmer found
that his new hand was addicted to
drinking alcoholics.
John" said the farmer, ''I'll give
ye one o my best sheep if yell give
up drinkin' while We work for me-
"It's bargain" declared John.
A son OF the farmer looked up and
asked:
"Pa, will you give me sheep. too.
if l will not drink this season."
YES" replied the father, ''you may
have sheep.
Then the little boy spoke up and
said:
PA. will you give me sheep, too.
il I'll not drink
"Yes, son. you shall have sheep.
also"
After moments pause the little boy
turned to his father and said:
PA, hadn't you better take sheep.
too?"
Il dunno, l dunno" the farmer res
piled, doubtfully, and then suddenly
concluded: Il declar', I'll Try it and
see."

wards to declare that he had made the

abandoned. The direct effect Is al
ways upon his body, and this is one Of
impaired or ruined health. as really as
if he should form the habit of eating
arsenic or swallowing laudanum every
day. Drunkenness is not a disease
which comes upon one without his
fault, and which he could not
avoid. 1t is q Seft-prodUced dis
ease, which it is in the power
of the man himself to prevent
and also to cure, by avoiding its cause.
and, hence, it is sin against himself
and against the God who made him
and holds him responsible for a right
use of all his powers. both physical
and mental. No one has right to do
any thing the direct tendency of which
is to damage or destroy his body. Tho
temptation to drink incident to, and
the consequences of the habit of drink
ing. is no excuse for drunkenness, and
no excuse for any crime which Il
drunken man may commit. Both God
and man treat the drunkard as an
offender, and he Is Sucn. we may PITY
him when we think of the power of
his appetite over him. operating
through his diseased physical nature;
but we should never so pity him as not
to condemn him, and do our utmost to
lead him to condemn himself and re-
form his life. The truth is that a
drunkard is sinner as really as .
rnerderory-andh he must repent- and. forS
sake his sin or he can not enter tho
Kingdom of God. Drunkards do not
go to Heaven, any more than bias
phemers. They are enumerated in the
list of those who will not enter the
Kingdom. The essential sinfulness Of
drunkenness is an idea that must not
be lost sight of in the effort to reform
drunkards. N. Y. Independent.

ward you will find him well started in

his own. Why. it's just as certain as
day and night, and the only reason Sc
many fail is because they won't take
the road that leads to success.
''If, on the contrary, u young man

will grow upon him. and after awhile
he is fit for nothing else. He becomes
confirmed tramp or something worse.
A man must be broken in to work in
harness just the same as horse or
mule, but those who find them
selves without any body to break
them in have the advantage
of mules or horses in the fact
that if they will begin in time they can
break themselves, and it often hap

try has the right to say that he came
to grief because his parents or some
body else failed to train him."
No one can make or mar q man
without his own help. If man fails,
there are as many causes inside of the
man as outside for that failure. IL
can not stand before God and the
world and declare that he has no share
of responsibility for that failure, or
say it was his ''luck" He is as man

RUTHIE'S VICTORY. ;

She Finds Out How Much Power There Is
in Gentle Words and a Kindly Smile.
Harry was standing in the road. on
the way home from school. There had
been heavy shower au hour before,
and there was II large puddle in the
road. He had a switch, and was switch
ing the water from side to side.
Nettie came along. and looked very
GROSSLY at Harry.
You stop that" she said.
Harry did not like the way she spoke,
nor the look on her face.
Say please and WILL" he said.
I'm not going to say 'pleasen
''Then l shall do it as long as like. "
II can't get by till you stop"
"Ycs. you can. I'm not hindering
you"
You are. shall got all splashed. :"
Then stay where you are. You
can't make me stop"
Now. the truth was that Harry did
not care u bit about switching the water
any longor. If Nestie had spoken pleas
antly he would have stopped at once.
But now he felt as ii he would stay
there all day just to spite her.
II shall tell your mother, you mean
boy, if you don't STOP" went on Net
tie.
Harry laughed louder as Nettie tried
to run by. He gave a harder switch
and laughed more loudly than over as
he saw Nettie's white apron spotted
with mud. She scowled back at him
as she went on.
Eettie had just turned a corner
when Ruthie came up. Harry looked
at her a little sourly, for he did not
feel half so pleasantly as he had before
Nettie came.
Do you wonder why? Was it because
Ncttic had been cross? Partly so; for
no one can speak or look GROSSLY with
out leaving shadow behind. But
Harry felt that he had been wrong. too,
and that is worse than to suffer wrong
from others.
Stop u minute, and let me get by.
Harry" said Ruthie.
Il don't have to stop" growled
Harry.
''But can't got home till you let me
pass"
81 don't care. You can't make me
stop"
"Oh. yes. can." said Ruthie, with a
laugh.
81 should like to see you try" said
Harry, holding his switch tighter than
before while he looked at Ruthie.
You're as big as am; but who cares
for that"
Il can, though" said Ruthie.
How do you think she did it?
She came nearer, still smiling. and
said:
Harry. please let mo pass. You
wouldn't be ugly to mo, l know"
Harry had never thought of an at
tack of kind words. If Ruthie had
tried TO take away his stick. or topush
him out of her way, he would have
made good fight; but what could he
do nowo
He gave q little laugh as he stood
back to let her pass, saying:
well. if that's the way you're 60
ing to make me, I guess I'll have to
give up"

LOCALIZED NiCKNAMES.
A Custom That Was Once Quito Gene
ally Observed in the East.

A Custom That Was Once Quite Gener-
ally Observed in the East.
Nicknames are not likely to go out
OF fashion so long as human nature re-
mains what it is. School-boys will
nickname each other. collegians will
nickname their professors, and soldiers
speak of their commanders as Little
Mac" Uncle Billy" Fighting Joe"
or what-not. In these days, however,
it is not customary to spread such titles
upon official records as was formerly
the habit, according to the author Of
the antiquities of Long Island"
In 1914, in the Dutch records. we
have John Petersen, alias Friond
John. In the Newton purchase from
the Indians, dated in 1856. one of the
boundaries is ''by Dutchman's land
called Hans the Boore," and in the
Bushwick patent, dated October u,
1867, one of the boundaries is John
the Swedes meadow" In 1895, in the
Kings County records. man is named
sggng at Gowanus as "Tunis the
Fisher"
The Common Council of New York,
in 1871, ordered fish to be brought into
the dock cover against the City Hall,
or the house that Long Mary formerly
lived in," and in the same year an Or
der was passed that Top Knot Betty
and her children be provided for as
objects of charity"
The explanation Of this custom, in
many cases, was that the persons in
question either had no family names or
had forgotten them, SO that the use OF
their generally accepted nicknames
became necessity.
So numerous were the Smiths living
upon Long Island that it was thought
necessary to distinguish the various
original families by some peculiar
name. Thus we have the Rock Smiths,
the Blue Smiths, the Bull Smiths and
the Weight Smiths.-Youths' Com
panion.
