BASE BALL GOSSIP.

Stratton is pitching losing ball.
Latham has signed with minstrel
show.
Plttsburg can't even play ball at
home. Two out Of eight is the latest
record.
Umpire Hurley left the field at Pc
oria Monday because player insulted
him.
Cincinnati papers are already COM
planning about Browning's batting. Too
much is expected of the Gladiator.
Arson AID Beefer Burns had wordy
war at Chicago Monday. Arson threat
ened to lick Bnrns, while Burns invited
Uncle to try it.
Spaldlng hasn't succeeded In compro-
missing with Comiskey and the other
players who sued him for back pay due
them from the old Chicago Players
League team.
Pttsburg has notified President Young
that Jack O'Connor, expelled by the
American Association, is under con-
tract with the Pittsburg club and can
not play with Denver, the club he is re-
ported to have joined. Perhaps Pitts
burg can trade O'Connor for good man
or two.
Base ball men think New York is
pitching Rusie to death. He is doing
nearly all the box work for the Giants
and he pitched three games in Chicago
alone. He was better Monday than be-
fore. He is mighty chap, with the
constitution Of a farmer, and after he
began to perspire his pitching was mag
nificent He may wear out, but at pres
ent the harder he pitches the better he
seems.
Ward stood Hurst on his head at
Cleveland Monday. Hemming, who
took Terry'S place, was wild and couldn't
find the plate. Catcher DAILY pretended
that his hand was hurt by a foul tip and
Hemming began throwing to Foutz for
practice. Hurst demonstrated and took
two balls from the Brooklyn pitcher,
but Ward gave his men orders to pay nc
attention to the umpire, and they didn't
begin playing until they got ready.

not one SORE NOW
Baby Afflicted with Bad Sores and Erup-
tions. No Relief. Permanently
Cured by the Cuticura,

During the summer OF 1889 my eighteen
months old infant was afflicted with eruptions
that ordinary domestic remedies failed to give
any relief. On his hips would often appear the
seeming track of little wire-ike worm, and
on other parts of his body bad sores came and
remained till procured the CUTIcURA RENE
DIES. For some time used the soap and salve
without blood medicine but they did not do
so we'll as when all were used together 1t has
now been nearly year since the eruption was
healed and very much feared it would return
with the warm weather OF this year, but the
summer is passed and not one sore has appeared
on him. MRS. A. NJ. WALKER,

SOLDIERS ON BICYCLES.
Lou v. CHAPLIN.

Tests Mnde in Connecticut Show Their
Efficiency md Usefulness.
The little state of Connecticut prom
ises to lie the pioneer in adopting the
bicycle to usage in its national guard,
and at the recent state encampment
the bicycle service, which had been es-
tablished sometime previous, was given
n test of its efficiency and usefulness.
The men rode safety machines, says
the Army and Navy Register, and car
ried Colts lightning magazines, forty
four caliber carbines and Colts regular
army revolver. When mounted, each
man carries his carbine slung across his
Back by means of a strap Tho carbine
has capacity Of twelve shots and the
revolver of six shots, giving to the nine
wheelmcn a total of 103 shots without
pausing to reload. The weight of the
carbine is five pounds. The manual
used by these whcelmcn was compiled
by Lieut.. Giddings, from United States
infantry and English cycle tactics. One
of the tests to which the bicycle corps
was put to Mt camp was sham fight
between wheelmen and detachment
of infantry and q squad of cavalry.
They were also tested as messengers
and the flag signaling, with which the
wheel messengers competed. seems to
have been SLOW.
Col. Dahcrty, of the Second Connecti-
cut regiment, was supposed to be ut
tackled on his flank when two miles
away from his camp. He sent n mes
sage of some ten or fifteen words to
headquarters by means of the regular
flag signal service asking that ma
chine gun be sent to his assistance at
once. At the same time he gave the
message to one of the whcelmen for de.
livery. For the first half mile the mes
sage was carried for the regular serv-
ice by horscman to house, from
whose roof the first flag began to wave.
The bicyclist reached his destination
and delivered his dispatch in ten min
utes, while the same message did not
get in until forty minutes later through
the ordinary signaling by. flags. In
fact, the gun had reached it's position
and was already firing in support Of
Col. Daherty, two miles away, when
the message asking for it reached head,
quarters according to the usual method.

that it makes visible to the eye the ere

which are the theme of the poet and
may be understood by the illitcrate as

of the United States illustrate his
torically and allegorically the events in

Columbus to the victorious entrance of

was established by law in 1863, made

struggle at Princeton in which the fate
of the colonies was really decided.
Tho one hundred-dollar, five hundred
dollar and one thousand-dollar notes of
the original series are now very rare.
They bear respectively the portrayal of
the fight between the Constitution and
Guirriere in 1919, Gen. Taylor at Buena
Vista and n representation of Morse and
the telegraph, each with it's accompany
ing symbolical design.
On the later issues, the battle of
Lake Erie and the sinking of the Law
renee is borne by the one hundred-tlol-
lar note and the Union is the allegoly.
While upon the five hundred dollar
bill the genius of the American navy is
now represented, SCOTS entrance into
the City of Mexico adorns the one thou
sand dollar bill, and the entire series,
representing Sl,0S5, gives scenes pre-
ceding the war of the rebellion. It Is
to be deplored that similar scheme
has not been followed in the issues of
the treasury, and that tho admirable
series was not carried out in design up
to the present time. Is it because we
are less patriotic in our enterprise, less
national in our characteristics as n peo-
pie, that the medium through which
our domestic commerce is SO largely
carried on has been Invested of it's pa
triotic stamp? Certain it is that the best
talent of people essentially artistic
has not been in these later days illus
trated in any of the recent issues of pa
per currency by anything which teach
es the high lessons of the first series,
and the existence of historical Sc
quence in our first paper currency is
hardly known even to treasury officials
and bankers who handle thousands of
dollars of the notes every year.

After he has solemnly, though some

says that, in his opinion, the bride is
