wants the virtuous to Have Chance.

OMAHA, Neb., July 19.-In a letter
just received by Rev. John Williams of
this ei ty from ex-senator Henderson on
the subject of the Sunday closing of the
worlds fair the senator says that the
opening of proper parts of the exposi-
ton on. Sunday would be doing good
service and the closing of the gates
would be helping the cause of the devil.
Every saloon in Chicago" he continues,
''can be entered on Sunday either at the
front or the rear and there is no theatre
that does not give its Sunday night per-
Torrance. l believe Sunday closing
means the encouragement of vice and
that it is not affording the virtuous a
fair chance for competition. Men can no
more be made religious by law in this
generation than they were made Christ
ians by swords in those that are past"

notified of the imatter and took his stand
before more than 300 or 400 wheelmen

That foul tip in the second inning hit
Platt quite whack in the mask and it
looked for a minute as if we would have
to get new catcher. But Platt got a
plaster put on the cut that the mask
made and stuck to it,
Flynn is a strong player. His work at
the bat is good and his fielding is grand.
Most players when running after fly
would stop when they came to the fence,
but Flynn picked a nice fly after long
run right off the right field fence. Again
in the third inning, Flynn caught diff
cult fly and sent the ball home in time
to head off his man.
Deadly and Dorsey fielded well for Sa-
lem.
Burns's pickup and throw in the third
was dandy.

The series between Portland and Salem

that sounded as if two OF three cars were

who started a sand Car going that was
standing on the Portland & Rochester
siding and a truck ran off the track and
was hauled on by the engine.
1t seemed like child's play to see An

the score might have been different.

Bishop Brown Advises The NegrOs
to Vote for Cleveland.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, October II.
Bishop Brown of the African
Methodist Church at w ashington
was interviewed hero to-day about
the political situation. Bishop
Brown says the negroes of the
United States should vote solIdly
for Cleveland, ard many of them
will do 1t.
Bishop Brown said that the solid
adherence of the negroes to one
political party dwarfed them in
tellectuaIly, and destroyed all their
influence at the polls. So long as
party was sure of the negroe' 8
vote, so long that paaty would not
respect the negro or his wishes.
Bishop Brown has written an open
letter in which he discusses the
failure of the Republican party to
befriend the negro or to regard his
wishes, and contrasts the course Of
Mr.. Harrison with that of Mr..
Cleveland when president.
