boomerang than in any other of their
weapons, and with little practice soon
learned to throw it. In the language of
this tribe, the Wong-ei-bong, which is
situated ill the Began river region, the
boomerang is called a womera.
shall therefore call ii womera. The
womera is made from what is Technically
known as an elbow from the kurrawung
tree, and sometimes from the yarran and
myall trees, All of these trees belong to
the acacia tribe, and have sweet-scented
woods.
The black fellow, having found suit

as 1t is generally too heavy to carry home,
trims it on the spot into the rough outline

black is q decidedly lazy specimen of the
human species, and he will as often as not
lay aside his uncompleted weapon for a

he resumes work the wood will have be.

difficult to work upon, but it never once oc-

former Incidence. Time, however, is of
little or no consequence to the black.
After some further pairing down the
weapon is charred all over, and this part
of the work is quite skilfully done no one

charcoal is Clipped off, and the BLACK
fellow then licks the weapon all over with
his tongue, and places it in a smoky fire of
green boughs, which warns it and makes
it quite pliabie.

of $500 people. It was expected that

pitch the game, nut he did not arrive and
Bartson was put in and held the BOYS
from Conviciown down to four little
hits. all of which were secured after the
ifth inning and two Of the four were
made by Fisher. Willis was IN the box
for the visitors. but he was far from be
ing an enigma. They fell on
him and batted out their game in tn e
arst inning. running in five scores which
the visitors were unable to even tie. The
game was not characterized by any very
brilliant features. Sage retired the vi.i-
tors in the first inning by catching three
men at second which cooled their ardor
for stealing bases considerably.
A new face in the outer garden made
its appearance yesterday, being that of
'Ducky" Hemp who pulled down some
likely base hits and did good work with
the stick. You can gain more informa-

He Has No Authority to Change the
Chicago Platform.
If Mr.. Cleveland attempts to sub.
stitute straddle Of his own devising
for the free trade plank of the Chicago
Democratic platform, as it is reported
that he contemplates doing, he will have
to show his authority for the flop. The
party did not nominate him and hand
him pen and ink and a sheet of paper
and tell him to write platform to suit
himself. First it adopted one, and then
he was nominated because it was be.
lieved he would accept the principles
enunciated in it.
The vote by which the double con.
struction straddle of the committee was
rejected and the doctrine Of free trade
proclaimed was decisive one. 1t was
as follows:

Democrats Are Free Traders.

It has been claimed that the Demo-
Gratis in the east were not so well dis
posed toward free trade as the western
wing of the party, but even this com
promising position must be abandoned
now so far as New England is con-
cerned. The New Hampshire Demo
Gratis have nominated an out and out
free trader for governor, and their plat
form condemns protection in no uncer-
tain terms. Hon. John E. Russell, of
Massachusetts, who was sent out by
competent authority to stump Vermont,
was an avowed free trader, and the
committee who engaged his services in
effect indorsed his free trade sentiments.
