sition. These eight-Boston, Pittsburg,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago. Cincin-
natl, Louisville and New York-are so
closely punched in the order named that

which he drops to the ground VIXEN he

detection. The pitcher of the de working

In 1882, when the great base ball revival
started, there was marked difference he
tween the manner of reporting the games
in the newspapers as compared with the
present. A reader then thought himself
lucky to get much more than the score by
innings. Shortly after that the plan OF
printing the individual scores was adopted,
and 50 popular did iG become that every
paper in the country that pretended to be a
paper was Obliged to take up with the new
style. The fact Of the matter is the indi-
vidual score gives better and more salts
factory idea OF the game in a small amount
OF space than anything ever devised. For
that reason it is a convenience not alone to
the reader, but to the publisher. Almost
every man or woman who IS an admirer of
base ball at all knows sufficiently we'll
whether the members OF team are keeping
up to the standard Of their playing by the
tell.tale figures in these little columns that
are as often turned to first as to any other
department OF newspaper. In 1888 the
matter OF Introduction to a base ball game
was somewhat in its Infancy, but it was
growing It had = good healthy look about
II that promised well, aud now it has devel-
oped into strong and vigorous youugster.
The base ball games II the past five years
have served for some witty and novel efforts
at descriptive writing.

 The democratic members of the board of selectmen held caucus last night be- fore the meeting of the board, which was not exactly Glove feast" The great sub ject agitating the towns legislators of the democratic persuasion was the appointment | of man to take the military enrolment | Loud voices could be heard from the eau GUS room, especially those of President l Goodrich and Seclectman Pohlman. l The republican members waited patient ly for a long time, and then indignantly left the room. At 8:15 o'clock the caucus was broken up, and a short meeting of the selectmen, composed of democrats only was held.
 Assessor Spreyer appeared from the Il town board of assessors and asked that the selectmen renovate and refurnish theil room. He asked that the walls be painted a light color and that desks and closets be furnished. On account of the difficulty between the town and city au. thorities in reference to the old quarters of the fire department, no action has thui far been taken, but the matter was re ferred to the committee on construction and repairs. Then Selectman Forbes wanted to ad journ, as only one party was represented but this motion did not receive second
 Selectman Pohlman tried to introduce petition from some one for appointment a military enroller, but Selsctman Forbe seized his hat and left the room telling them to go on with their bushes if they wanted to. As this left the bsart without 8 quorum it was forced to ad iOurn

 Said to be Included-Kennedy Will
 Not Talk.
 It was rumorsd last night that J. J. Kennedy, ex-clerk at the almshouse, was about to make charges in writing against the authorities of tho almshouse. It is also rumored that several of the selectmen are included in those against whom charges are to be made
 Town Agent Clarity was seen last night and admitted that he had heard rumor to this effect and had expected that the charges would be preferred at the meeting of the selectmen last night, but what the nature of the charges were he did not know.
 Superintendent Sanford of Springside Farm said that he had heard that Ken nedy had been talking good deal but did not know that he had intended to prefer any charges against him or anyone else, nor did he know what the nature of the charges could be.
 MT. Kennedy was seen and refused to confirm or deny the rumor, but said "When am ready to talk, will go to the proper authorities" The opinion seems to be quite general that Kennedy is on the warpath and further developments are ex- pected.

The Vocation.

The Vocation Organ company, G. Bolze, manager, has opened an establishment al No. Elm street, one door from State. The store is elegantly fitted up and fur nished with choice selection of the cele- brated Kranich & Bach pianos, also the famed Vocation organ, which are becom. ing so deservedly popular and are destined to steadily increase in popularity ae their fine qualities became known and appreciated by the general public. There can also be found at this establishment Paris novelties which are of the latest i'm portation.
 \ special attraction there at the present time is the singing bird of Paradise which appears instinct with life and motion and warbles and sings SO naturally that all who have heard it express wonder and astonishment and can scarcely be made to believe that it is marvellous piece of human workmanship instead of . natural specimen of the oriole from South America.
