CLEVELAND, Aug. 1.-The first of a
new type of lake vessel, which promises
to be as notable in its way as the Nc
Dougal whaleback, has been launched
at this port. The Monitor, as lake men
have dubbed it, is the special design Of
Captain II. D. Cofinberry, the president
of the company. It is a compromise be-
tween the ordinary steam barge of the
lakes and the whaleback.
The vessel is entirely of steel. Below
the water line the Monitor differs lit
tie from the old type, but above the
sides round in, and the upper works are
less conspicuous. The windlass house
in front is little more than a narrow box

Diamond Cut Notes.
Keep the ball a rolling boys, the Woon-
sockets are after that pennant
Rogers doesn't want to play first base
for both sides and so he lodged the ball
when Rowan tossed it to him.
McGuirk is clean hitter. He opened
up the first game by knocking the ball
out of sight over the left field fence.
Burns jump and catch of Bradley S
liner in the first innings of the first game
was pretty playing.
Reagan wouldn't drop his mask and as
a consequence over-ran both those foul
fys.
That scheme of the second and first
baseman's dropping the ball only got
one man out anyway.
The grand stand wire is getting trepid-
arious.
In the third innings of the second
game when the Lawrences with three
men on bases were pushing for all they
were worth there was considerable ex-
citement. It looked just about that
time as if the umpire was little ratified.

Games Saturday.

1t looked like anything but ball game
about fifteen minutes past two Saturday.
The rain at that time was making
phenomenal slides for the earth and
everybody was driving for shelter. But
at quarter of an hour later the storm
blew over and the players were called
out to play ball with broomsticks and
sawdust. The grounds dried rapidly
and at few minutes after three five
innings game, postponed from Friday,
was commenced and the regular game
soon followed. Klobadanz kept the
visitors down to II hits with total of
16 for the two games, in the first of
which McGuirk was the only man of the
Lawrences to hit the ball safely, while
our club swingers got 20 ticks at the ball

The more the bill gets known the 6ercer
grows the opposition from the national
liberal and freisinnige parties. Conserv-

justice revots against a measure which
will force MethOdists, old Catholics, Uni.

generally to have their children educated
In some state recognized creed.
The sects which the bill admits as duly
qualified religious societies are Moravians,

The DumaA body IS constantly underGo-
ing tissue change. Worn out particles
are c..s. aside and eliminated from the
system, while tie new are ever being
termed, from tn inception Of life to It's
close.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiply the
waste products, but at the same time they
are renewed by its agency, giving rise to
increased appetite which IN turn provides
fresh nutriment. Persons but little
accustomed to drink water are liable to
lave the waste products formed faster
than they are removed. Any obstruction
to the free working Of natural laws at
once produces disease, which, if once
firmly seated, requires bJth time and
money to cure.
! People accustomed to rise In the morn
ing weak and Ianguid will ind the cause
in the imperfect secretion Of wastes.
which many times may be remedled by
drinking a full tumbIer Of water before
retiring This very materially assists IN
the process during the night, and leaves
the tissues fresh and strong, ready for
the active work Of the day.
Hot water is one of our best rene lial
agents.
= hot bath on going to bed, even in
the hot nights of summer, Is better re-
never of insomnia than many drugs.

continued poulticing Of real hot water:

New YORK, Jan. 2l.-Shortly before

crowded with shoppers, FIRE broke out in
the basement of a huge fye-story stone
front building running from Fifth avenue

every window. The building is fanked
On the left by Tiffany's iewelry house and
on the right by the handsome Lincoln
offices. The lower aoor Of No. 5 Union
Square is occupied by Bretane' book estab-
lishment. The fire started in the
basement Of Schneider & Campbell,
gas fixtures. Fire walls on .eilher
side confined the flames to the building
in which they originated and within an
hour and a half the 6remep had it under
control. The loss on the building is about
s65, 600 Tifanys was protected by the
pulling down OF the shutters when the
fire broke out. Bretanos' front was eff

be 800, 600; Jeweier Worms loses s40,-
900; Leon r. Helms, importer of millinery,
$500, 900; Schneider and Campbell $780,
600; Samuel Green, decorator, $50, 000.
