The REcDRD
P1rrsBuRsH. IL: NEW YORK. 2.

PrrrsBuRaH, July 11.-Ward's "cripples'
played weak game here to-day In the pres
ence Of 2.430 spectators. Probably the most
interesting feature in the game was when
Miller began to initiate Schmidts coaching.
Miller gave an excellent imitation OF Schmidts
auotioneer methods. amid laughter. This
was in tho fourth inning and whom Schmidt
was pitching. Mller's efforts really broke
Schmidt all up and before the inning was over
he WAS taken out Of tho box. An enthusiastic
grand stander threw Miller silver dollar for
his Ruccesa Ward had his team over on the
ground practising both yesterday and this
morning. and they entered tho game to-day
with moro confidence than yesterday.
Hardly q man on the team to-day worked
harder than Ward. He worked as II his heart
was in his work. Ward tried now and again
to infuse life into them. but his efforts were In
vain. The apparently happy man among the
lot was Michael Eell " who has real soft snap
In keeping tho bench warm. The weather was
excellent but the contest soon became SO one
sided 1t lost interest 1t dragged wearily along
to the welcome end. schmidt started to pitch
for the visitors but retired whom three singles
and q double had been mar ed UP against him.
Davies replaced him and was tolerable easy
for the home sluggers. The fielding Of the
visitors generally was very bad. dumbert
pitched q splendid game for the home team.
The work Of the latter all round was very good.
JUDGED. Miller played much better th9n on
Monday. Stencil played instead OF Elmer

OUR DUTY TO THE POOR.

The terrible financial distress that has
afflicted the nation for the past eight
months will be poignantly felt when
many families who have heretofore en-
joyed the best of good cheer on Christ
mas day gather around an empty
board made bare by the stringency
of the money market and the lack Of
work. The turkey will be missed from
his accustomed haunt in the middle Of
the table, and the concomitants of cram
berry sauce and plum pudding will be
present only in memory. The rich have
a duty to perform toward their
poverty-haunted brothers. There
are tables to be decked out
with substantial viands, coal bins to be
flied and wardrobes to be replenished.
The af1luence of the prosperous must
supplement the poverty of the unforiu.
nate. In every neighborhood there are
poor families TO which the gift Of bar
rel of flour or load of coal would be
perfect godsend. 1t is not sentiment
alone, but grim necessity as well that
should arouse the spirit of charity in
the breasts of the rich. Hunger and
cold do not make merry Christmas
Poverty and idleness do not inspire the
Christmas sentiment. A cheering word
and a substantial benefaction will do
much TO alleviate the distress and de-
spondency that greet us on every side
Such an opportunity for well-doing may
never be offered TO us again, nor does
anybody wish TO see repetition of pre-
vailing conditions. Now that the
mischief has been done we
must lay aside for the day
all investigation into causes and unite,
hand and heart, in doing what we can
10 alleviate the distress aud despondency
that prevails around us. An open pocket
book today will bring Joy TO the poverty.
stricken and satisfaction in deeds well
done. TO the heart of the donor. Re
member the poor.

rapidly impregnating the more eastern
portion of our country. New England
is learning to enjoy recreation as well as
labor. The old spirit of reye
renee for the worlds holiest
of holy days has suffered
no impairment, while the power and
opportunity to enjoy it in truly royal

each passing year. Christmas is hailed
with just as much veneration in Rhode

Williams and if outer forms and
semblances have been lacking they
have been SO because OF the
