Base Ball.

The game of ball between St. Davids and Tombstone last Saturday resulted in nearly d lie g me, the score beng 5 10 I in favor of Tomb tore. The visitors ,st the game in the first inning by being frightened. They cid not have their full nine and played the game in lislless manner, witt. one or two exceptions. They say they will win next ume and will pr4cuce very assiduously in the meantime.
 The roughs and Kids had very ex- citing game Sunday, the schoolboys win nlng by score of 3 to P. The Tous hs say they are going into regular training and will defeat the Kids or bust. Prob- ably they will; but if they do they will have to supply Fatty win pair of wings and lhe entire nine with bats about four feet wide.

Great fun and solled unmen- tionables will be the result of the game.
 Negotiations have been pending for some time with view of our ball club going to Tucson in May, at the time the Grand Lodge K. Of P. meets, and playing series of games with Tucson and Fort Lowell. A letter has been re- c-ived by our club from Tucson which virtually offers to pay all necessary ex- penses and of course our boys will ac- cept.

4 Delegation of Tombstone Knights Institute
 RathbOne Lodge No. 10.

On Sunday last delegation of Knights of Pythias left Tombstone for Bisbee to institute lodge of Knights of Pythias in that lively town. among the delegation were w. D. Monmonier, Geo. J. Meyers, T. A. Atchison, Chas Tribolet, J. B. Friedman. George w. Swain, William Barron and Geo. F. Meek. Alter a pleasant ride by stage and train the delegation arrived in Bisbee about 6 o'clock Sunday even- ing, where the time was spent in pleasant social intercourse until 12 o'clock, when the work of instituting the lodge was begun under the direc- ton of District Deputy Grand Chan ccllOr Monmonier, and was continued until nearly daylight. Work was re- stunned in the aft iernoon of Monday and continued until about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, when the twenty charter members had been given the three degrees and the following officers had been elected ard installed: G. A Phelps, P. C.; John G Pritchard, c. C.; John Rees, V. C.; Robert LeRoy, P.; R A. Holmes, K. of R and S.; T. w. Stack, M. of F.; Robert Row. land, M. of E.; J. Pennepacker, NJ. at A; E. V. Allen, I. G.; c. Swan, o. G.
 Monday evening the visiting mem bers were given fine banquet at the Can Can restaurant, which in its ex- cellence was a surprise.
 The lodge starts off with excellent material and considering the large number of good citizens the lodge 3as to draw from, the prospects are tlatter- ing that Rathbone Lodge, No. 10, will become large and fourishing organ izatiOn.
 The visiting delegation desire to re- turn thanks to the members of the new lodge, and the citizens of Bisbee generally, for the hoapitable treatment received while in the picturesque cop per camp.
 After a protracted siege with the lively Pythian goat taken over by the Tombstone boys many of the new members feel entirely competent now either to walk on their heads or navi- gate balloon.

Impenitent Jottings.

The prophets of destruction are per vasive everywhere just now. The ''doom-sealers" of California are over- ~hadOwed by the ''doom-promoter" of Illinois, one Schweinfurth, who pro- fesses himself the Savior, and haa lifted up his raucous voice, predicting speedy and dire destruction on all who treat his pretensions with contumely. To the student of human nature. these ebullitions of medieval supersIi- tion are of more than passing in terest. To those whose education has freed them from almost all traces of superstition, the fact that such arrant impoSters as the Oakland cranks and the Illinois hog can attract follow ing sufficiently numerous to inspire even q heeting curiosity in the out come of their idiotic gyrations is an evidence that our boasted schools are not doing all that they are reputed 10 be doing in ahOlishing ignorance; and that the millennium of knowledge is still in remote future.
 One would naturally think that the primary school is the most formidable enemy to superstition of all kinds, even of the religious kind, especially where, as in the United States, the traditions of no creed are permitted to be taught. Superstition has no other foundation than ignorance, fact of which the superstitious are, naturally enough, profoundly ignorant. The individual of to day who believes in omens, signs, lucky or unlucky days, lucky or unlucky names, numbers, words and like beliefs of an early period of human development, is but q short remove from having un- equalled qualifications for chief place in an idiot asylum. Yet there are many people who think themselves in- telligent, call themselves educated, who would resent the impu'ation of ignorance with the heat and acerbity of liar when called one; who wear clothes, can get about on their hind legs and hold their food in their fore paws for masication. and actually know enough to swallow it, who are proud of their supersriions. They think that belief in an ill-omened name, or number. gives them a unique distinction, whereas it merely marks them out as descendants of Stupidity Some people even affect superstitions Women are the greatest offenders in 'his way They believe that unreason is happy addition to the mullifarious attractions of their sex, and each one has within the jurisdiction of her charms a bunch of mindless males agreeing with her in that idea.

As predicted in these columns a few

As predicted in these columns few weeks ago, the army and navy inves- ligations have turned out to be pro- digious farces. The officer who had the distinction to strike man that couldn't strike back, and then to act as prosecuting officer of the court martial which tried him (the soldier) for receiving the blow-there was no other charge-has been found guilty and sentenced to be scolded by the commanding General. The officer who had the supreme happiness to be drunk while sitting as member of court martial to try his interiors in rank for the same offense has been declared to have been duly and mili- tween as one witness expressed 1t; while the officer who had the distinc- ton to play bunko game by dupli- eating his pay accounts-a thing to which our military officials are strangely addicted-has been convicted and condemned to private life. His sentence will probably be commuted, however, for in ten years no officer, unless he has had no "infuence." has been actually dismissed the service for the bunkoing practice of duplicating his pay accounts. What a people we of these United States are. In no other country that I know of is pri- vate life considered as equivalent to term in the penitentiary. Robbery usually merits imprisonment, and the crime in the class of cases to which l refer is virtually robbery. In open defiance of law the cOniiding money
 lender has been systematically plum dcrcd for these many years. Yet, of all those convicted, and inc offense has been so fragrant in many in
 stances. that the "condoning board"- the court martial-has been obliged 10 find verdict of guilty and to i'm
 pose the awful penalty of deprivation of commission, not one of the male factors has had this sentence of dis mlssal from the service carried into effect. say confding money lender
 The phrase expresses the case with precision, for each officer ill making out his pay accounts has to certify 'on honor" that the claim Is just one, unpaid, with no offset or duplicate against it; and there Is not Cor was noD any method of checking" the account until the paymaster. upon whom devolves the duty of paying the order, either pays it, or informs the holder that he has already paid duplicate claim.

of the army is now. commodity of doubtful value in the marts of trade.

Once more we are called upon to do honor to genius. This time, however, 1t is not an American inventor that we must praise, but an Englishman. We may boast of Edison az of Morse, the effulgent flame of their renown must sink into insignifcance before the blazing glory of this more recent inventor, the product of whose genius is-an automatic card shuffler. It is plain without elucidation why this should be regarded as one of the most valuable inventions of the day. The time wasted at card table is, in the language of Ike Burlington, Gin 8 shuff1in' an dealin", and any device whereby the exasperating, unskillful fumbling of an inexperienced dealer may be done away with will be ad- mitted as of great value to mankind. The desideratum in poker game, and one would not si eak of any other card game in the United States, is rapidity of action-especially to the individuals who happen for the mo- ment to have been relieved of the burden of wealth-and an expedient permitting this will be unanimously adopted. The great difficulty, how ever, that presents itself to my mind Is that the machine Is still worked by the pOker-player; when the poker player is manipulated by the apparatus then will the card-player's happiness have been attained.

 It is to be hoped that the genius of American inventors will prove equal to the needs of the military men as now demonstrated. The Use of smoke. less powder in warfare requires the use of an impenetrable hole to crawl into upon occasion. The inventor who can minister to this need by SUD- plying patent, transportable, missile proof hole which can be pulled in" after him will take rank among the benefactors of mankind, and the great est need of prai-e will come from the Indian hunters of the United States army. Heretofore, upon sighting an Indian, the absence of power to ere ate a hiatus has been conducive to Indian success. This invenlion,' if produced, will change the status of affairs and probably cause the barba- rian intellect 10 subscribe 10 the ideal istic philosophy of Kant.
