BALL GAM E.
The McCormicks' First Defeat.

The McCormicks left Maryville
Friday at $40 A. NJ. Beside the
ball team were Kin Takahashi, (the
modern Deniosthenes,) together
with the Columbian Male Quar-
tette, Prof. Golf, and Horace Chum-
lea. They all went in hacks and
enjoyed the As miles drive to
Athens, hugely, arriving there al
$50 p. NJ. They were kindly well
coined by the Lasater Reds, and by
the Athens people as well. ODE
mosthenes" was intending to de-
liver his lecture on "Modern ia
pan," that night; but his advent
had not been very extensively cir
culated, and two or three entertain
ments were in progress, consequet-
ly not enough were present to justi-
fly an hours lecture, so Kin arose
and said: "Crowd very small, so not
recture. Quartette will sing, and
refund money at door," The Quar-
tette responded with three or four
selections which seemed to be very
much enjoyed, and the boys went
sadly to their rooms.
Saturday morning, few minutes
before 8 o'clock the boys were driv-
en- out to the base ball park.
Athens has far better park than
Maryville. 1t is very level and
well skinned" About $50 people
were present to witness the game.
The game began at and was
finished in two hours.
First Inning-The McCormicks
failed to score. The Reds succeed
ed in pushing two across the rub
Der.
! Second Inning-McCormicks
scored two. Reds 0.
Third Inning-McCormicks man
aged to get one tally. Reds 0.
Fourth Inning-In the fourth
McCormicks counted two. Reds
one.
Fifth Inning-McCormicks 0.
Reds 0.
Sixth Inning-McCormicks 0
Reds one.
Seventh inning-In the seventh
our boys claimed that Athens UNI
pire made "rOten" decision, which
most of the Athens team admitted
but we believe that it was not in
territorial ON the part of the umpire
for he is perfect gentleman
However, after the decision the
the McCormicks played a ragged
game the rest of the inning and let
the Reds score six, which gave
Athens the game.
Eighth Innining-McCormicks O.
Reds 0.
Ninth Inning McCormicks one.
Reds didn't play theirs.
Our boys are satisfied with every
thing except the one decision from
the umpire. The Athens boys are
all perfect gentleman and very
: friendly indeed. If possible anoth.
er game will be arranged. We
, feel confldant that the McCor'
micks can win. This is the first
defeat this year and they feel that
they put up the best game.
Some of the people said this was
the first they had heard of Mary

From this place, we see.
The cause for this too,
Is a wonder to me.
Among so many noble,
Great, honest, and true,
And college boys plenty,
With little to do.
1t seems that Il letter,
Each week should appear
Full of items of interest,
From both, far and near.
There are incidents numerous
From mountain to station.
And someone to work
AT every occupation.
OF churches there are four,
All prosperous and strong.
In harmony and love,
They are moving along.
And with preachers we are blest.
They are as numerous as the
RABBIT.
There are Adams, Hamilton,
Brickey,
Henry, Ellsworth, and Abbott.
There are two Sunday Schools,
Which success fully stand.
All love to see them prosper,
"God Bless the little band"
Any singing-masters? Yes.
Fll name them to a man.
There are Adams, Uncle Head
rick,
Thomas Lawson and Dan.
And our school teach RS for 1913,
I'll just mention for fun.
RambO, and Adams,
Josie Upton and Ella Dunn.
Our penmen are gone.
AT least it has been said,
The officers took one.
And the other is dead.
Any doctors? There are two.
They move with a hustle.
Their names are familiar,
Joe Jenkins, and Russell.
OF merchants there are four.
All keep a good stock.
They are: Hunter, Elnert,
Bill Bird and Doc.
We have two squires,
Who work for the "mon."
am sure you know them,
They are: Jenkins and Dunn.
The sheritfs are two;
The deputy and short.
A man can get to Carolina,
Before they will start.
The farmers are numerous,
But generous in deeds.
They go off a hunting,
And leave their corn in thu
weeds.
Any Postmasters? Two.
And they are generally out,
But you can g"t your mail,
If there's any children about.
Any school-directors? Three.
A straight Democratic board,
They'll employ their hobbies,
And you need not say a word
And the miIlers are so numerous
You can scarcely get about.
They are: Abbott, Sam Cumptol
And Cool Yearout.
And OF hunters there is one
Who always leads the gang.
His right name is Myres,
But we all call him "Shang.'
And traders? So many
TITS almost absurd.
The most notable Of which
Is Mr.. Warren Bird.
Any Blue Bills? Yes, few.
All very nice chaps.
You may know them on Sunda,
BY their an. c." caps.
And when Sunday comes,
They are off to meeter

And the Apostle Peter.

than Col. VIM. T.. Mclean. who is here.
Colonel Mclean was a member or the
Gel, brated military court that tried Bowles,
Millgan and others, and roughly in
vestigated the origin and history OF those
organizations He authorizes me TO state
that the record Of that trial shows that
said orders or organizations came into
existence i'm Indiana during the winter OF
1863 and 1864 which was after Risley
married and went to New York in Octo-
Der, 1853. and that neither Risley's name
nor anything pointing TO him as a mem
ber Of either Of these organizations was
discovered in the proceedings of that vigi-
liant military court. The trial was pub
lished I'm book form, and the name of
every member was ascertained. sworn 20
and preserved. The record. therefore. abb
solutely excludes the possibility that Ris-
ley was a member or that he could have
been a commissioner Of the order or
orders with funds to buy arms or for
any other purpose. Colonel Mclean also
well remembers Risley's repeated visits
TO Terre Haute Stree 1865, and says that
wi all his familiarity with the people

THE HAWATIAN SITUATION.
Mr.. Blount Probably Has Begun His In
VestigatiOn-Japan and the British.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-If the reve-
nue. cutter Rush on her trip from San
Francisco to Honolulu made an ordinary
rate of speed Mr. Blount. President Cleve-
lands special commissioner, is now on
the Hawaiian Islands and his investiga-
tion into the condition Of affairs there
has been begun.
The story, said TO have been brought
10 san Francisco by the United States
steamer Alliance. that Japan was har-
boring designs upon the islands. in case
the United States should conclude not 10
take possession or control of them. made
but little impression here. At the Jana
nese legation il was said for Minister
TatenO, in response 10 inquiries. that the
legation had no information whatever
upon the subject. In the absence of any
communication from his Government or
from the japanese consul at Honolulu
any expression OF opinion upon the proba-
bilities of the situation respecting japan
and Hawaii was withheld by the minister.
a member Of the diplomatic CORDS. who
has spent some time in both Toxic and
Honolulu, said that In his opinion any
assumption Of authority In Hawaii by the
Japanese Government was improbable
Although the Japanese are now the Sc
cond largest element of population on trra
islanus' Delng surpassed only by the
native Hawaiians, they have no perma-
nent interests there. They go In large
bodies under contract as laborers on the
rice and sugar plantations. and have
never had the right OF citizenship. The
Government Of Japan. he said, is interest,"
ed in the islands only so far as the pro-
lection Of it's subjects Is concerned. and n
certainly does not want TO undertake the
management Of that territory
The story brought by the Alliance said
that the officers Of the japanese war-ship
in the harbor OF Honolulu seemed to be
acting under the influence and advice OF
the British representatives there. This
much OF the tale is corroborative Of the
statements contained In a letter from a
member OF the provisional Government

Hon. John E. Lamb. Terre Haute. Ind:
The statement that ! ever connected
Mr.. Risleys name with the papers seized
in my former law Office by Darlington In
1854 is utterly false.
Risley was married and went to New
York in October. 1863. He visited Terre
Haute in the spring Of 1865 and has con-
tinued TO do so at least once d year
from that time TO the present. During
this period OF twenty Eight years ne has
often spent weeks at time at Indiana
polls and different parts OF the State in
the trial OF cases In court and in the
construction OF the /. b. and W. and c.

hint or a suggestion that he owed any
body anything on account OF the trans

CULTURES Comments.

PARIS, March 31.-The Cabinet crisis
is a subject of general discussion, both In
the press and in public places. Most OF
the newsI apers, including the Republi-
can organizations. concur I'm demanding
that the ministry shall be composed OF
new men. The refusal OF the Chamber
to grant Triad supplies for more than
month is regarded as clear proof that
the Chamber desires dissolution 10 be
deferred until after the budget has been
voted and the Legislature will have come
into entente with the new Cabinet, which
Il is believed is likely TO he called upon
TO issue decree for holding the general
elections.
The Journal des Debats, Conservative
Republican. and the Republican Steele
both protest against a patched-up min
istry.
The Petit Journal. Liberal Republican,
and the Republican Votaire demand the
immediate dissolution OF the Chamber
The Radical Lanterne says that dsso-
luton IS impossible until the Senate gives
way TO the Chamber in regard to tho
budget
The Republque Francalse. Republican,
says that If the Cabinet had challenged
a direct vote OF confidence II would have
suffered defeat by a hundred votes. The
Republique Franchise adds: There Is
every sign that the crisis will be long
and the solution difficult"
In the regular course Of events the
general elections would be next held I'm
September. President Carnot, howev.r .r,
has the right to dissolve the Chamber
Of Deputies at any time upon the ad-
