Bronze for Decoration.

Material which adapts itself adj
mirably to the decoration of furni.
ture is bronze. We have scarcely
employed the metal for this particu-
lar purpose for many years, whereas
the Europeans have been very skill
full in its use for generations. Bronze
has as yet failed to become widely
popular in America, one reason be.
ing the preference shown for articles
made in copper by the various cleo.

esses, and by reason of the prefer.
ence shown for brass on account of
its more cheerful appearance,
Bronze has a mellow, sober hue,
and its durability and adaptability to
the various purposes required and
the choice effects that can be pro
duced by the application of bronze
to all light wood, such as satinwood
ash, pine and so on, should recon-
mend its increased use to our furnl.
ture makers. We have no doubt
that this metal, with its grave, un.
obtrusive tones will be more general.

BASE BALL YES TERDAY
Calvert Shut Out Waco Wins by a
Score of to 0.

OGpl VI " w ~
The base ball game at Padgitt \
park yesterday resulted in score OF =
to 0 in favor of Waco. Calvert did
some very good playing and when they
walked along the street the people
thought Waco wouldn't be in it.
Their men are all of heavy build and
some are said to be ex-protesslonals.
Waco has surely got good team and
they show their appreciation by giving
the boys good crowds.
The rain Ct Sunday morning kept a
good many from coming out, but those
that missed it missed the best game
played here this season. The grounds
were in a fair condition and especially
the diamond.
Harry Lesterjette, former Waco
boy. pitched the latter part of the
game for CAl,er and did some very
fa,r woik, although several base hits
were got of Of him.
Order, the l5.year old pitcher of
the Waco team, has not a living
equal. He has held the champion
amateurs OF the state down to three
base hits and he is an excellent batter
He is certainly due great praise for
his pitching. Clay, the catcher OF the
Wacos, was often cheered for his good
work and when he cut Calvert out of
run by not throwing the ball to first
an put the man running 20 first out
instead he made a emotion to
throw to fist but held the ball and
cut off the run
There was some little kicking done
against the first umpire and he was
chang d. Mr.. Walter Cox being put
in. His decisions were fair and not a
word of disapproval went up from
any one in the audience or from the
players.
The Calvert boys took their defeat
easy and said that they thought they
had walk.over when they looked at
our boys. They returned home last
night on the $40 Houston and Texas
Central train

Waco has the best pitcher in the
state, for boy.
Ben Richards, alias "Frenchy,' is a
first baseman of some repute. He has
refused an offer to join the Texas
league giving his reasons that he had
Joined the Lone Stars and intended to
stick to them
Stal!ard did excellent work on
second, and in that position has few
equals.
Mcbride, Waco's third bsseman,
fields we'll and throws like ball shot
from a cannon.
Little Dude" Rice is an excellent
fielder and took care Of every thing
that came into right field. Dude is
a good hitter, an excellent base run.
ner and, in fact, good all round
man.
BLANCHARD, the Waco short stop,
did excellent work and his throwing to
first was feature of the game.
Left Fielder Lunsford covers as
much territory as as any fielder in the
state. He has good arm" and runs
bases well.
Robinson captured the only ball
that reached center yesterday. He is
a good coscher and base runner.
Thomas two and three base hits
were missed yesterday.
Fort Worth will probably be here
this week for two games.
Calvert had Dallas pitcher in the
box yesterday.

FRISCO AND SALT LAKE ENTERPRISE.

A San Francisco dispatch says;
1t is announced that the directors of
the proposed San Francisco & Great
Salt Lake railroad are making rapid
progress toward perfecting finan-
cial organization. The original plan
of having stock subscription books
open to the public has been abandon
ed, and instead a canvass is being
made of the rich men of the city,
who are subscribing for large blocks
of the stock. The Directors say that
within two weeks they hope to be
able to announce that all the required
stock will be placed in this city. 1t
is claimed that the road, extending
265 miles, can be built and equipped
for $l2, 100000, and that the bonded
Indebtedness will represent the act
ual cost of building and equipping
the road, so that the annual interest
of 6 per cent, $72O,OOO, will be the
only fixed charge. In their opinion
the road will have an earning capac-
ity capable of sustaining the bonds,
both as to the interest and annual
sinking fund requirements.
The published statement of the
financial progress says that twenty
men of large means have agreed to
take blocks of stock ranging from
$4,000 to 100000. Although the
route of the road has not been Off
cially announced, it is almost certain
that, starting from San Francisco,
the road will extend through Con-
tracosta county, through Oroville
and across California, in north
easterly direction through Beckwith
Pass in Sierra Nevada mountains to
Reno, Nevada. Thence it will run
across Nevada to Salt Lake City,
connecting with eastern roads.

this week. We think La Voz is
mistaken, as the Governor is too
good Republican to make any such
remark. We have no doubt he will
be here and give us a good speech,
and there are few better speakers in
the country than Gov. Prince.
