THE Man and III . Child.
By JAMES ]. NJ coRRY.


An old man stood by the wayside,
Where group OF children played,
And listened awhile to the music
Their innocent laughter made.
He gazcd on their fair young faces,
Bright symbols of Love and Truth,
Glowing cheeks whe dweit the roses
OF the garden OF their youth.
deep and a solemn silence,
feeling Of childish fear,
Sprang up in their timid fancies
As they saw Il stranger near
Then up and along the highway
They sped as before the wind,
But one, the youngest and fairest.
Ttanstixed. she remained behind
The old main raised her up gently
In his trembling, feeble arms,
And sought, with his soft caresses,
To soothe all her wild alarms.
He sJroked her laxen tresses,
And the child to him closely drew.
AS he kissed away the tear-drops
F4'om her innocent eyes OF blue.
"Fear not! my bright little ANGEL
lie slowly and softly said.
Il love you, dear Little children,
For the sake Of mine that's dead.
Gone, years ago into heaven
With their mother up above,
Come, little daring, tell me
Who you are, and whom you love. y
Then the tender creature nestled
Close to the old mans breast,
Ald he. tiny fingers fingered
In his withered hand at rest.
'Thsy call me Man." she answered,
/ With ii knowing little nod.
"Aad de best Ting dat love is
My Fader, Mudder. and bod"
She crept away in the sunlight
And left him with thought alone;
Nor saw she the pale face darken.
Nor heard she the bitter moan.
"Oa! that Life and its woes were ended
That this weary path were trod,
TIL my darlings cry out in heaven,
We're with father and mother anC

The Nationals Were Ready to Defeat the
Columbus Team Saturday.
1t was very hard luck that the rain storm
came up on Saturday Just when it did, for it
undoubtedly shut the National team off from a
victory from Columbus. The home team had
scored twice in the first half of the first inning
and had hit the ball viciously enough to insure
an interesting contest at least. The other side
had not scored. Time was called by the umpire
in the hope that the shower would pass before
the grounds we're made too wet but the pour
was sufficient to soak the soil and make further
play out Of the question, and so, after twenty
minutes of waiting, the game was declared Off
The home battery was Foreman and MCGUIRE
Columbus will play today and tomorrow, and
Lo uisville will be the attraction during the re-

IS THE ITATA SAFE?

An Oncer Of the Esmeralda Says That She
Has Reached Her Destination.
The Charleston and the Gillian man-of-war
Esmeralda are lying at anchor near the en-
trance to the harbor of Acapulco. The Gillian
captain says that his vessel has not called at
any American port. Consequently, he says,
it is not probable that the United States au-
thorities will interfere with the movements OF
either himself or his vessel.
An officer Of the Esmeralde, in reply to a
question put to him in the telegraph Office al
Acapulco as to the probability of an old.
fashioned sea fight between the Charleston
and Esmeralda, said in jocular and rather
ambiguous way: ."Oh, the Itata is already out OF
danger. She has plenty of coal and provisions
to carry her to her destination
This remark has given rise to the report
that the Itata coaled at sea and proceeded to
her destination, while the CHILEAN war shir
steamed for Acapulco to throw the United
States authorities off the track.
Ell UniUersal, the only government organ
that has so far made any mention Of the arrival
of the Esmeralda at Acapulco, says that in
addition to the Esmeralda other Chilian wal
ships are expected at Mexican ports

AMONG THE TENNIS PLAYERS.
Beginning Of an Interesting Tournament o
the Bachelor Courts.

Beginning Of an Interesting Tournament on
the Bachelor Courts.
The lawn tennis tournament was begun on
Saturday under rather damp auspices. The
courts Of the Bachelor Club, at the corner Of
18th and p streets, were quite soft, notwith-
standing the hard labor that had been ex-
pended upon them during the day. The un.
certain aspect Of the sky made the play q little
dubious and had tendency to keep the crowd
Of spectators down. Yet there was . far at
tendance-fair in more respects than one.
The play was begun, as usual, in singles. The
feature Of the afternoon was the match between
Messrs. Davidson and Wright. which mouopo-
lized the attention of the audience from the
start Davidson won the first set, rs. Wright
PLAYED very much on the defensive. watching
his opponents play, and depending on his GER
talnty OF return rather than to any exhibition
OF smashing. His serve was not forced, and
generally resulted in the success Of the first
bal, usually in a corner of the court As long
as he played on the rear line he held the advan-
tage, but as soon as Davidson could play him
up close to the net he was at fault. and many q
point was scored by the local player through
the agency Of his celebrated drive ball
that was almost always out of reach. In
the second set Wright braced himself
up and played a stronger game, which
resulted in his success by the score of 6-1.
The third set was begun and would have been
finished in favor OF Davidson but for two I'M
fortunate plays that carried the ball just out of
court at times, which would have given him the
game had the point been made. The game was
holly contested and when the storm clouds
threatened aud drove everybody to cover the
score was &c. This match will be PLAYED off
today, the winner having to take the third set.
+ -t hH- OTHER GAMES.
r. b Goodfellow beat Oscar Woodward in
the frst set of the series, &c. to the surprise of
the crowd. The second set was begun, but was
not finished, the score standing 3-3.
The other contests resulted follows Mer-
win Thompson beat c. c. Clare, 4-6, 60, 81; H.
N. Billings beat H. C. Painter 81, 6-3; T. 8.
Scheibley beat Fred Parks, 81, 1913; r. s. Chill
ton beat s. c. Taylor, Ga, 60.
There were the following defaults: DeGarme-
dia to Billings, Alan tombstone to Scheibley,
Geo. Barclay to Parks, B. K. 4eters to r. B.
Brown.
o. s. Campbell, the champion Of the United
States, played an interesting exhibition game
with II. n. Billings of New York, winning with
out much difficulty. Mr.. Campbell is a student
at Columbia College in New York and was
obliged to return to that CITY last night in time
for his examinations. which begin today.
Play will be continued today on the singles.

The Czarewitch, 1t Is Claimed, Was Assaulted
Because He Profaned a Buddhist Temple.
The French embassy at Toxic has telegraphed
to Paris the official details Of the attack upon
the czarewitch. From these it appears that
the czarewitch's assailant was policeman
named Thunda, who had been eight years In
service. The czarewitch and his suite were
leaving Otsu in jinrikshas, having just visited
Buddhist temple. Both the czarewitch and
Prince George went to the shrines with their
boots on, and the chief bonze, on their retiring,
complained to the japanese guards about this
offense against the national religion. The
princes were entering the jinrikshas, when
Thunda, who was standing guard, dealt the
czarewitch a blow with his sword. Prince
Georges return blow with his stick threw
Thunda several feet. The policeman rose and
made another rush at the czarewitch. Japa-
nese closed the front of the carriage and an
other Japanese wrested the sword from
Thunda and cut him down, intlicting severe
wound. The chief bonze, with several guards.
arrested the man. The czarewitch's injury has
already healed.
