Perhaps the most startling event
of the week is the death OF Charles
Parnell, the great Irish agitator
He died on the seventh inst, after
n very brief illness. He was a
comparatively young man, having
been born in 1916. He has had n
brilliant career, and was the trust
ed leader of the Irish "Home Rule"
cause, having the confidence and
political association OF Gladstone.
But he forfeited the confidence Of
the great Englishman, and of the
whole English people, by his crime
against the sacredness and security
of the home. He was convicted OF
unlawful relations with the wife of
Capt. O'Shea and after she was
divorced married her. He tried
to recover public esteem, but in
vain. Mankind are naturally
charitable and forbearing, and
Englishmen are distinguished for
their love of fair play, but Parnell's
offense was one they would not
condone, even in favor Of one who
had been a popular idol. The law
of God and man upon this subject,
is one that must be upheld.

BASE BALL ITEMS.

Thorne, Hurley and Callan all batted
WELL
Ely played we'll at third and will make
good one.
Everybody go and see the game, it will
be good one.
Schenck started in well. Keep 1t up
William throughout the season.
Colligsn is daisy at short, and his
throwing to bases is IS fine as the best.
Just watch and see who gives aud who
don't and you will find the kicker gives
nothing.
Wolverton and Knowlsn will be on
hand to help do up the Adams. They
both play good ball.
The Adams have a strong team and are
playing good ball. Go and see the game
and don't forget your money.
The Association did not clear expenses
last Thursday. This wont do. Let there
be good collection on Saturday.
Snyder was little of in fielding, but
will come around all right. He Is going
to be a good one with little practice.
Hurley and Trusty make great Bate
ry. The way they played ball last Thurs
day, was pleasure to their many friends.
Manager Closson, bv request OF many
of Maj. G. A. Angel Post, g. A. r. has
kindly consented not to call the game I'M
til 4 o'clock, so as TO give all chance to
see the game.
Base ball is the only Summer amuse-

The Lambertville team scored its first
victory on Thursday last, 10 their opening
game with the Worthwhile (Pa.) team.
Our team put up good game from the
start and won easily. Hurley pitched a
good game and was caught by Trusty in
fine style. McClurg on first put up his
usual gilt edge game and is without q
doubt the finest first baseman who ever
played In Lamberlville. Calan at second,
Ely at third, Colligan at short, all played
we'll. schsnck caught nice hit in left,
and Thorne for the first time in two years
let one get away from him. Snyder when
he gets little more experience, will be
all right. The Worthwhile team could not
hit Hurley and seemed to be unable to
hold the ball when they got near 1t.
The following 10 the score:

ciety, that will meet in our city on the

over the grave of Lieut.. Geary, who fell
in the skirmish near Hunterdon Court
House in the year 1777. They are also
planning for erecting monument to the
memory of Capt. Schenck, and his brave
command, on the identical spot where
they stood SO firmly contending for their
country's welfare. The place to be so
honored is near the railroad and along the
public highway from Ringoes to Fleming
ton, between Copper Hill and Larison's
Corner. This transaction was commenda-
BILE when our country was overrun and
plundered by foreign foe. 1t was a
heroic act, done by heroic men and their
