Base Ball,

In less than a month the base bal
season will be inaugurated by the be-
ginning of the championship series O,
the National League, and the "cranks'
will nightly take their perch on the
curbstone in front of Walkers store to
discuss the situation.
Hillsboro had team last year that
could play good ball atCtimes, and at
some other times they couldn't; at least
they did not. Ons tile whole, however,
they succeeded in pleasing their patrons.
The only objection was tAe character of
the clubs brought here to play, most of
them being teams from Cincinnati.
What Hillsboro needs, if she is to
have crack nine, is support, and it will
not be RivSn If Teams from the Cincinss
natl bottoms are brought as attractions
A local rivalry must spring up between
this and surrounding towns before base
ball will pay expenses here. WHY
couldn't Hillsboro stand good show in
a league composed, say of Chillicothe,
washington G. H., Wilmington and
Hillsboro? Take last years team as
[oundatin, import Eddie Baker or some
other good man for the infeld and a |
good battery which could alternate in
'he outfield with Reece and Pickerel
md Stan Arthur, and you would at a
slight expense have a team that would
Ieep the other towns guessing and ought
% make money or at least pay expenses.

A LONG swift.
Story of Man Who Fought for His
Life for Over Seven Hours.

Boston Journal
The longest swim ever made without the
aid Of artificial help. such as life preservers,
life suits, etc, was made by Samuel Brock,
a Yarmouth England beachman. the night
OF October IA, 1885. The afternoon of the
I4.h Brock had noticed ship at sea signal
ing for pilot. He. in conn any with nine
other seamen, started for the vessel in the
yawl Increase. At o'clock they came up
alongside the ship. which proved to be the
Spanish brig Paquette de BilbOa.
A pilot and three beachmen were put on
board and the Increase then headed for
shore, which was three miles distant. At
6 80 o'clock. when the nearest land was still
six miles off. a sQuall struck the Increase and
the way the flood tide was beating off shore
1t soon became evident to the man in the
water that IL he ever did manage to reach
the land alive be would have to swim about
fifteen miles in roundabout way. A swell
sea drove him out over Cross Sand ridge be-
fore the 9 O'Clock bell tolled at st. Nicholas
gate, and IL was long two hours and half
later before the nearly exhausted swimmer
caught sight Of the bell and light buoys
themselves.
1t was now nearly midnight and Brock
had been In the chilly water about five
hours. Within the next hour he sighted q
vessel at anchor, and by an aImos t
within about 200 yards, when he hailed
the lookout. A boat was immediate
~ lowered and the half-drowned man
taken on board. The vessel proved to be
the Betsy of Sunderland and her place of
anchorage about sixteen and three quarter
miles from where the Increase capsized.
Thus it was proved that Brock had made
miles in seven aud half hours on that
chilly October night.

ALGERNONCHARLEs sWINBURNE
WRITTEN FOR THE MORNING GALA

1t can safely be said and without being
Extensively personal, let Us hope. that SWIM
burne the poet was. in the prime of his
youth. the ideal poet to look upon. He
looked the poet entirely. His abundant hair
was fire and gold and finest silk all woven
together. and his face was as fine and sensi
tive as that of a girl. his head always
seemed to me disprOportonately large for
his body. l never thought him strong of
frame, yet ne has survived many stronger
good men.
When You read that Swinburne has done
or said this or that foolish thing or eccentric
thing, set it down TO the fancy of some little
American liar or some big American news
paper. Nothing that is not entirely in the
line OF coed taste and good sense and per-
feet proprlety can be laid aL the door Of any

There IS pathetic story about the SWIM
burne family of century or two back, told
me by Lord HOughton, which | will try to
compress into few lines. While travelling
IN France the family encountered the plague
In an interior town. and all save one little
boy persisted. A few years later some
Englishmen passing that way saw this boy
playing in the streets and induced him TO

England, this boy, who had been little
more than a child at the death of his
parents and so knew nothing of his name
or station, saw the figure of a cat in a
punchbowl where he served on a Christmas
evening. and al once claimed the bowl aud
all that the coat of arms involved. After
generations of struggle he, or rather his
descendants, came into the name and es-
tates.
