MISCELLANEOUS,
SWEET MEMORIES

Sweet memories may be recalled in many diff
ferent ways. Sometimes il is a well-remembered
tune or song that causes a rush of reco!lections
to our mind, and for the tine being drives all
business cares and worries from US. At another
time the delicate perfume of much-love
flower, just family caught, takes us back to
scenes and recalls events that passed al too
quickly. Saddening, perhaps, for they may take
us back to the teachings of a dear mother, who
now may be peacefully sleeping in distant
ehureh-yard. Do yOu not recollect how she
warned US to take care of the life God gave us
A hard drawn breath or a little pain causes rs
to ask if we have needed the words of that loved
one. What would that dear mother say if she
knew we were i'll and did nothing to effect a

THE HOME TEAM WON.
San Jose Lost the Game in the
Opening Inning.
Otto Youngs Exhibition of Unsteady Twirl-
ing-A New Pitcher Signed by
Manager Harris.

The runs made in the first inning
yesterday afternoon in the game between
the San Francisco and San Jose teams de-
cided the contest. The visiting team lost
the game and the poor work Of the inielders
at the start was the cause Of the Gardeners
defeat. The first batterS of the FriscoS who
faced pitcher Harper were enabled to reach
the initial through blunders on the diamond,
and then Harris men commenced hitting
the ball on the trademark. Leyy's two-base
hit and safe shots by SWEET and Cartwright
drove home four runs. more than the home
club secured in the remaining eight innings.
The second half OF the first inning. when
the San JOses were at bat. brought out an
exhibition of wild pitching by Otto Young.
The twirler found the plate too small and
sent the first two men.tO the initial on called
balls. Then he hit the next sticksman
with pitched ball and later forced in
brace of runs by sending two more batters
to first on balls. Otto steadied. however.
after the opening inning and pitched good
game. He held the visitors down to seven
scattered hits and struck out three men.
Harper was in the box for San Jose and
was sized up for nine hits, Levy and SWEET
each making three. Harper's support was
very fair outside Of the first inning. Ever
EFT at short made three miSplays, but lie was
given dozen chances.
Speer had two passed balls. an unusual
thing for him, out the little backStOp put
up good ball and raped out two of the
seven hits made by his side. Hanley, who
is still guarding second base for Firms
team, accepted his tour chances without an
error and gagged one of Young's curves for
a base hit
The home team played errOrless bill up
to the eighth inning, when Sharp. who had
been handling his work in finished style,
started the laundering. Hassamer gave an
exhibtiOe of splendid infield work up TO
the close of the contest. The double play
in which he participated was one Of the
features of the game. A hot line hit was
batted over his head, but he jumped for it.
pulled down the sphere and threw out at
first base a runner who had started for sec
oni.
Van Zant made very neat one-handed
pickup. Levy, who has been coming up
with a rush lately in his batting, kept up
his pace by hitting the ball for a triple, a
double and single.
The game as whole was well played and
interesting. The score:

DEMOCRATIC OW-WOW.
Hon. w. L. Wilson's Tariff Talk
TO the Faithful.

Last night the Young Mems Democratic
League and the IrOquOis and Manhattan
clubs gave joint reception to Hon. w. L.
Wilson, Congressman from West Virginia,
in Metropolitan Hall, which was crowde d
with Jealous members of the local Democ-
racy. NJ. +. Iarpey presided and intro
duced Mr.. Wilson, who made vigorous on
slaught on the tariff The Representative
from West Virginia is not a great speaker,
but he is clever oratOTical jugger and he
advanced some very old Democratic argu-
ments clad in new verbal garments. His
points and his presentation of them ap-
peared t. be we'll adapted TO the mental
palateS OF his auditors, who frequently in
teTTupted the speech with loud applause,
and when lie StigmatiZed the Mckinley act
rs a miserable little 2X4 law made by Mr..
Reed Congress in the interests of rich con-
tributOTS to the Republican campaign funds
the audience cheered Justify for several
minutes.
Mr.. Wilson began his address by a warm
advocacy OF local elf-government and then
attacked the system OF the Presidential ap-
pOiutment OF Cabinet officers and national
officials, who, he commended. should be
elected directly BY popular vote. he was
very severe IN his denunciatiOn of the Force
BIN, characterized the last Congress as
Wasteful and extravaganza, and said that re-
cent legislation had done its best to pauper-
lie the national government.
The speaker then turned his orat0Tical
batteries against the present tariff system,
which he discussed at length. He said that
the heaviest burdens were placed where they
shOuld be lightest and vice versa. The
speaker argued ih detail in favor Of a reds-
trlbutlOn OF tariff charges, attacking specif-
cally the duties on wooden StUffS, tin plates
and mOlasses. The protected industries
were constantly procuring machinery which
would replace the labor OF workingmen. and
he thought that the idea of the present
tariff protecting American labor was fall
lacy. With a population of 650O0,OOO we
produce enough wheat for 100000 600. and
while as a result of the stimulating effect of
the Mckinley act $4,000 might receive EN-
pIoyment in new factories Mr.. Wilson
claimed that their wages were paid ten
times over from the packets Of the farmers
who have no markets for their surplus
