THERE are many curious trades in
the world, but the most strange must
be the artificial manufacture of wild
men," Yet a well-known English
doctor in China has just certified
from his own personal experience
that this art is regularly practiced in
the Flowery Kingdom.

THE looncy poet writes about labor
as king. Bah! Labor is great big
boohy, that, while having strength ir-
resistible, votes itself the lowest place
in society, and cringing servlle slave
of pnnv capital. In society to-day
labor is a disgrace and is looked down
on. The men WHO do not labor are the
ones who receive all the smiles. The
labor unions should be turned into
schools and give their members few
lessons in states of h, m IN rights and
equality. The boys will never humble
capital so long as they depend on
sophis ical platitudes about the
mobility Of labor and continue to
strike Crisis.

BASE BALL.
The Owensboros Again Defeat Clarks-
willie in a Good Game.

The game of hall last evening be-
tween the Clarksviles and Owens
boros was one of the best ever wit
messed on the Clarksville grounds,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
home team was again defeated. The
game was begun with Greenfield and
McDougal in the points for the home
team. The pitcher was in fine trim,
and began striking the Greensboro
sluggers out in one, two, three order.
He throws a hard ball, and it soon
became evident that McDougal could
not hold him. No one seemed in
clined to take McDougal's place until
Mr.. Anderson, of Bristol, college
student who arrived here yesterday,
was approached on the subject. He
agreed to catch the remainder of the
game, and he caught it to perfection.
The only drawback then. to Clarks-
ville's battery, was the fact that the
catcher and pitcher were not ac-
quainted with each other. They sue
ceeded, however, in tanning ont ten
of the Owensboros during the pro-
gress of the game. Anderson is a
muscular fellow and good catcher,
while his throwing to bases is fault
less. He is good allround player
and will strengthen the home team If
he can be prevailed on to play with
them occasionally. Greenfield pitch
ed much better game than did
Bradley the day before. While the
Greensboro pitcher struck out only
two men, Greenfield, as stated above,
famed out ten. The game was given
to Owensboro, however, by errors of
some of the home team on bases.
The score by innings was as follows:
Clarksville--l 0 0 0 / DO %

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 1.-The news OF
the seizure of one San Francisco and three

hope for no action. There was nothing
particularly uncharitable in what the Rus

events. For three years the United States
seized our vessels without warning me
crews were cast ashore at Sitka, and the
men who seized our vessels, cared not how
the crews reached home. In this case
the Russian officers seem to have
shown little solicltude on pc
half of the men VINO wanted to
get home. There was time, when with q
pride, almost sentative. the nations OF the
world protected their flag on the high seas
But now chIVelry and valOr have given
way on our part to contemplate policy.

vessels can be trampled on quite safely

and to obtain redress. The board of trade
