Ihe senators Make vain Attempt to
Down the COlOnels.
SAN Francisco, April 19.-The Sacra-
mentos endeavored today to defeat the
Oakland champions with good ball, and
several brilliant plays were made, but
they were defeated apparently with ease
by score of 13 to 5. Harper pitched
for the Senators; he pitched even better
than Cobb, who was in the box for the
Colonels. There were five two-base hits
during the game, Sacramento making
three of them. Sacramento lost the
game owing to weak spots in the team.
The features of the game were two bril-
liant plays by the Senators-Gordan' s
double play in the second and Good
enough's fine running catch OF high fly
in the fourth inning.

BI-METALISM
Voted Down in the British Commons.
Gladstone Opposed to 1t.

LONDON, April 19.-During the debate
in the Commons last night, on motion of
Samuel Smith, in favor of conference
on bi-metalism, which was finally re-
jected by the House, Sir William Vernon
Harcourt announced that Gladstone did
not approve the motion.
Balfour said, though he would adhere
to the principles of bi-metalism, he
thought it would be folly for the Gov
ernment to go in advance of the educated
commercial opinion of the country, and
try to force upon the nation currency
in which the commercial men did not
thoroughly believe.
Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
said he was inclined to favor bi-metal-
ism, provided all the countries would
permanently maintain it under an inter-
national agreement.

A Sioux Surprise Party.

A good many writer's have asserted that
an Indian is born stole, ana that the
reason he doesn't laugh or cry or express
surprise or astonishment lies in the fact
that nature did not intend him to. That 5

one of the stage routes into Julesburg,
and after they had killed dozen people
a part of my company was sent out TO
give the red man setback. We rode over

evening secreted ourselves III long, dry
ravine, to see what would happen during
the night. The stage was due there about
10 o'clock, and soon after 9 We got sur
prise. band of twenty-three Indians
came in from the West. struck the trail
just above US, and came down and laid
themselves away almost on top of us.
We had our horses down around bend,
with guards to look after them, and the
Indians had left their ponies at some
other point We were back in the dark,
where they could not see us. while they
were at the mouth of the ravlne and every
sky. We knew what they were after, and
we prepared curse elves accordingly. There
were twenty eight of us, and we crept up
inch by inch until when we finally heard
the rattle of the stage coach, we were not
over twenty-five feet frGm the bunch of
marauders. We could hear and see them
making ready, and Just as soon as they
were about to dash out on the trail we
gave them a yolley.

"TeIling Their Ages. "

No doubt this unwillingness about
stating their ages is weakness on the
part of the voters; but it is not by any
means a weakness that is confined to
women. Men before now have resented
the same question, though sensitiveness
about ones age is a rarer intirmlty, for
many reasons, among men than 1t is
among women. There is a good deal to
Justify it, moreover. There should be
no good reason why any individual
should not have the right to keep his age
to himself if he prefers it, 1t would be
quite enough for the law to require the
registration officers to ask the question
of voters Are you above the age of y
years?" since, if he is above that mini
mum, his exact age cuts no figure what
ever, with regard to the privilege. The
inquisitoral character of the registration
requirements naturally CRATE more harsh
lv upon women, who are new to the
whole matter. than it does upon men,
who are more or less hardened to such
inquiries. And yet men frequently kick
over the traces.
A n orthodox clergyman in one of the
suburban towns, year or two ago, made
a memorable scene at tho Town Hall on
one of the registration evenings because
he was asked by the registrar whether he
could read. He positively refused to
read the required paragraph in the con-
stitution, and he left the room in a high
state of indignation. This seems ridieu-
lous, and yet the clergyman had an un-
doubted right to resent what appeared to
him an impertinent inquisition. In an
other case bank-teller, who was per-
fectly we'll known to the registrar, became
angry when asked if he could write, and
would have refused tc sign his name if
he had not been expostulatel with by his
party manager and reminded that the
party could not afford to lose a vote.
The teller signed his name, but he never
forgave the registrar, who insisted upon
his fulfilling the law, and ii is snid,
was afterward with difficulty restrained
from chastising him on the street. Dos
