THE CoNFEDERAcY's IDOL.
Touching Tribute to the Memory of
General Johnston.

Touching Tribute to the Memory of
General Johnston.
In many cities in the country impress
sive services in memory of the great SOL
dier, General Joseph Il. Johnston, have
been held. All over the South heartfelt
homage has been done to his illustrious
name. The death of no Confederate gen.
eral since General Lee passed away in his
quiet Lexington home, has so profoundly
and sadly revived the memories of the
heroic courage and noble fortitude Of
Southern warriors.
Responsive to such feeling, the Wash
ipgton Association of Confederate Vete-
rams held memorial services last night at
Mount Vernon Place NJ. e. Church South,
corner Of Ninth and X streets northwest.
The auditorium Of the church was
tbronged with people of Washington and
Alexandria, the Lee Camp, Confederate
Veterans, being represented from the lat
ter place.
All about the altar rail the air was fra
grant with the decorations of fresh flowers
and green plants. Here were seated JUS
tice Lamar of the United States Supreme
Court. Rev. N. Pitzer, General Eppa Hun
ton, Major Duxberry and Colonel Haine,
of the dead Generals staff; Father CO.
wardin. Major William Hartman, presi-
dent Of the Washington Associations Col
onel Il. L. Coster, secretary; Congressman
Hooker of Mississippi, Rev. DR.. Cuthbert
and others.
The beautiful hymn, "Abide With Me"
was touchingly sung by a quartette, con-
sisting of Misses Clara Ball and George
Wilson, and Messrs. ]. J.. Johnson and j.
Il. Baird. Then the Rev. DIR. j. G. Wight
man offered the opening prayer, followed
by the reading Of psalm by Father CO.
waTdin.
General Hunton presided, and intro
duced Mr.. Leigh Robinson, who delivered
strIkingly eloquent and appropriate adj
dress on the life and character of the man
for whose memory all hearts expanded
with warmth of eulogy.
Coming to the close of the great strug-
gle in which the subject played so con-
slant and conspicuous part, Mr.. Robin
son said:
HE came forth like pillar Of marble
set in sockets OF pure gold. No thought
Of his took shape in words. Nothing
froward, nothing unseemly fell from
him. He broke misfortune by being I'M
broken by it. II Is comparatively easy to
receive blows from adversaries with sus.
tanning arms around one, but when the
how strong must he be to be unvan'
quished. The day. of Johnston's de
thronement was his imperial day."
$50, as lie lived his straightforward
pure life, the shadows of the reaper deep
ened around him. One who came within
the circle of this majestic age could won
der whether death could conquer such {
will. He could not be conquered save by
attrition. He received his death wound il
his breast. lie fell upon his unsurren
dered shield--a soldler--closing his eye
on earth and opening them in heaven
He gave his soul to the great Captain III
had served so long and faithfully. There
in those upper fields, where there are M
false balances, his spirit will be felt

Don,t Get sensick.

Lemons, oranges, champagne-all these
are recommended, saws the Ladies'
Home Journal but the best recon- NEIL
dalton, the most practical and common
sense, is to let the seasickness have its
way, and then you are over with it. You
can modify any possible attack by little
care as to diet day or two before sailing,
by avoiding greasy and rich foods, and
this is wise. But don't go on board with
the settled idea that you are going to be
sick. Dismiss the thought. Keep your
feet the first day out. Walk up and down
the deck continuously, BY this method
you get accustomed to the motion of the
ship, tire yourself out and, if you are any
sort Of a sleeper you will sleep sOuudly
the first night. Then the worst is over.
But if not, and YOU do get sick, just ac'
cept il philosophically. OF course, you
will feel miserable. But let the spell run its
course, and it is done. And you are better
for it, and certainly wiser than to try and
cure il by mixture of things, which only
give the stomach reason for a continu-
ance of proceedings. One of the leading
medical authorities in the world says that
fifteen grains of sulphate of quinine, nd.
ministered two hours, or four hours at
the most before embarking, will COM
pletely free even sensitive subjects from
the horrors of seasickness.

Mr.. Thorn, the Plumber, Found In His
Room with His Throat Cut.
Mr. Henry Thorn, the plumber, Of 725
Thirteenth street northwest, attempted
suicide this morning by cutting his throat
with a razor. Mr.. Thorn went to his
room, took the razor from its case and
gashed his throat, but did not cut in
vital spot. The inmates of the house
were attracted to his room by his cries,
and, upon finding what had been done,
notified the police, who conveyed him to
Providence Hospital, where he now lies
as well as can be expected. The wound is
not serious one by any means, and why
he attempted to end his existence is a
mystery. No one seems to be able TO ac-
count in any way for the action of Mr..
Thorn, who was at this writing unable to

Behind the Bat.

Behind the Bat.
1t was pretty game.
Kelly was the sorest man in the bust
ness. He came down here expecting to
get three games, but tobogganing went out
of style last Saturday.
The st. Louis. Club yesterday signed
Visner, the outfielder and catcher who
was released by Washington few days
ago. Comiskey says he will be used as the
extra man of the team, and as o. Nell has
been unable to play recently on account
of an injury, his services are greatly
needed. Visner went over from Washing
ton in response to telegram, and terms
were arranged without difficulty. He was
an outfelder and catcher of the Pittsburg
Players League Club last year, and at the
beginning of the present season was made
captain of the Nationals. He was also
catcher of the Brooklyns in 1889, when
they won the Association championship
from st. Louis, which had held it for four
years.
In the National League, Chicago won
first place by defeating Boston, with
whom it was tied for the leadership. New
York is close third, with Cleveland,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia tied for fourth
place, while Pittsburg is behind these
clubs with only one game less won.
Manager Chapman of the Louisvilles
does not believe in star clubs. While in
Baltimore with his men last week he said:
1.-THE best material for successful team
is the class of young men who have repu-
tations to make and are thoroughly tract
able. Such players will take advice, but
older ones who have become famous
think they know everything about base
ball. The former also yield to discipline
if they belong to the better element, such
as Taylor, of my own club. Those of
my men who behave themselves do not
bother about, but il one of them shows an
inclination to dissipation he is governed
by strict rules and made to comply with
them. Whatever success the Louisville
team has had under my charge / attribute
to the ambitious and well-behaved young
men have been able to secure. Sen.
The st. Louis team very effectively de-
feated the Orioles yesterday.
If the local team will only repeat the
dose to-day and tomorrow the memory
of those eleven straight defeats will be
forgotten.
The men are finding the ball with great
regularity.
Foreman, the pitcher, has been signed
by the Nationals.
When Bakely finally settled down he
pitched magDificently.
Miller will twirl for the local team in
to-day's game.

PLAYING GOOD BALL.
THE NATIONALS TAKE THE SECOND
GAME FROM CINCINNATI

Heavy Batting and Good Fielding Con
tribute TO the Result--Dowd Has
Finger Split - Lohman's Excellent
work-Gossip of the Other Clubs
Diamond Dust.
The Nationals won close and exciting
game from the Cincinnati team yesterday
by hard batting. Bakely was wild in the
opening of the game and by the erratic
delivery in the first inning filed the
bases, but Hatfield, by pretty double
play, retired the side. The home team
crawled out of several tight holes by
good fielding at critical moments. The
good fielding of both sides is shown by
the number of men left on bases, twenty
one, of which the visitors had eleven.
In the first inning Dowd, in attempting
to bunt the ball, had to retire. Smith
took his place, Hatfield going to short and
Lehman taking third. The latter played
an excellent game, making some great
stops and throwing accurately. He also
distinguished himself at the bat by
making three singles Hatfield also did
good work at short and, in fact, there
was decided improvement in the playing
of all the men.
Mains opened the game for the visitors,
but was hit so hard that Kelly put
Dwyer in. The latter forced run in in
the fifth inning and was hit for three
more, both McQueerv and Mcclure
making doubles. Mcclure not only han
died Bakely's erratic delivery well, but
made double when the bases were full,
and brought in two runs.
The game was close and exciting and
| the crowd was worked up TO the highest
| pitch throughout.
