YESTERDAYS BALL GAME.
a Decisive Victory For the Home
Team.

The Roanoke club again demon
strated its superiority over the Blue.
Held team yesterday afternoon by de.
feating them second time, the score
being ls to 4. The game was witnessed
by good sized audience and for the
nrst four innings was well played and
interesting. The Bluefeld bows could
DO nothing with Boyd's pitching with
the exception of the seventh inning.
when with four hits and tumble by
Sprowl they were enabled to score four
runs, three Of which were earned.
Outside OF this inning Boyd had them
completely at his mercy, only allow
Ing two safe hits in the other seven
innings.
Roanoke opened up with Meade ret.
ting his base on an error. Boyd was
given base on balls. Meade stole
third and Boyd took second. After two
men were out Meade was caught between
third and hone and should have been
put out, but Keister dropped the ball
and he scored, Boyd scoring a minute
later ON Henry's corking single to right
Held. In the second inning they were
easily disposed of In the third Boyd =. as
given his base on balls for the second
time, stole second and scored on Henry's
second base hit. The home team scored
in every inning after this. Just as soon
rs home player got on first base the
Blueheld team went to pieces with the
exception Of two or three players.
The playing OF the home team WAS
FIRST class In every respect, Meade in
particular distinguishing himself by his
brilliant playing, accepting nine cut OF
ten chances, his only error occurring in
the ninth inning, he dropping foul fly
after hard run, but he immediately
redeemed himself by making great
stop and throw of Thomas hard hit
between short and third.
Riley, of the Bluefelds, who is a
great favorite here, will in the future
play with the r. A. @. team. The fol-
lowing is the tabulated score of the
game:

virginia's Day at the worlds Fair.

CHICAGO. July 15.-August has been
named as Virginia day at the World g
Fair, and the occasion promises to be
an Interesting one. Governor Mckinney
has announced his purpose to be here Il
possible, and of course he will be &C
companied by his numerous and bril-
liant staff of generals, colonels and
majors. Senator John w. Daniel has
accepted an invitation to be the orator
for the occasion. and is already tusily
engaged in the preparation OF his ad. .
dress, which will doubtless compare
fayorably with his splendid addresses
on Washington, Lee and jackson. Rev.
DIR. Beverly d. Tucker, OF Norfolk,
who has written some poetic gems, will
read an original posm. Under the in
fuences Of these attractions and the
reduction Of railroad fares which will
be in operation before that time, it is
safe to predict a great gathering OF
Virginians at Chicago on Virginia day.

A Great war JUST Avoided.

About two months ago we were on the
eve of European war. Some of the adj
visers of the car insisted very much on
the desirability of Russia declaring war
against Germany, as the defective anna
ments of the German troops would give
Russia a great advantage over her oppo-
nent. 1t was further pointed out to the
Emperor Alexander that France was five
months ahead Of Russia in the matter of
ornaments. In order to ascertain the
true facts Of the case the car sent his
brother, the Grand Duke Sergius, to
Rome, Paris and London.
By some indiscretion the object Of his
imperial highness' visit became known
to the Spanish ambassador at st. Peters
burg, who telegraphed it to Madrid.
from which city the news in some unex-
planned manner found its way to Berlin.
1t is added that the emperor of Germany
at one moment thought war unavoid-
able. The result of the grand dukes
travels established the fact that in the
various countries visited by him there
was not that inclination for war which
the cars advisers would have led his
majesty to believe.-Paris Figaro

| Nearly every country town boasts of at
| least one citizen who is an amazing and
artistic liar, and sometimts the astounding
/ fabrications OF rural Munchausen will
] continue 20 be told and rctOld long after the
inventor Of the yarn is dead and forgotten.
Some years ago there lived in a small
Maine town an old man of the name of
Zeke Trask, who had won wide renown he
cause OF his proclivity to draw the long
bow. Zeke was so shrewd in his invention
of improbable tales, and he rarely "cut his
own fingers but once upon time he was
fairly beaten and put to shame by Lin
Boyd, an aged neighbor.
In his earlier years Zeke's eyesight had
really been remarkable, and although it
was failing with advancing age he con
tinued to insist he could see rs well as ever.
Lin Boyd or Uncle" Lin, as he was uni
versally called, made no secret of the fact
that he was growing hard of hearing
One day these two old fellows were driv-
ing over to the village together to do some
trading" Uncle Lin taking Zeke along on
his wagon. Zeke had been skirmishng
around on the bOrderland of truthfulness
during the entire trip, and he had moce
than once observed it was remarkable his
eyes should "continner to reach out MAJ
inly"
When they reached the topof hill where
they could look down on the village two
miles away, Zeke exclaimed:
Look how the sun shines on the meetin
house steeple, Linl Wuther vane p'ints
plum west"
"Waal, your eyes must be marster keen
to see thar from here, nodded Uncle Lin.
"Ho, that hain't northinr' asserted Zeke.
Look there ON the steeple whar the rains
kinder washed the paint off right by that
big crack an you'll see a fly crawlin up tor
ruds the vane Can't you see him, Linz
The other old fellow gave a strong pull
on the reins and brought the white horse
to halt Then be- stared hard at the stee-
pie, as if trying TO discover the fly Zeke
pretended to see.
Cant you see him now:" repeated the
man of remarkable eyesight
Uncle Lin bent his head and placed one
crooked and withered hand behind his ear
sitting for some seconds in a listening pos
ture
II can't see him, he finally confessed,
'but l cal late he's there sure enough, for
kin hear him step! Git ap, Dobbin."

The Social Melon.

Very peculiar is the popular estimation
of watermelon. Apples. peaches, oranges
we may carry in the street without caus-

Not so with the watermelon. One day
Judge Mack, Of Kansas, said to his grocer;
People in this town seem distant, un-
sociable"
you don't understand human nature"
said the grocer. Take home this water
melon in the basket on your arm, and IL
people on the way don't speak to you, then
you needn't pay for the melon"
The judge first met dignified matron,
who said with faint smile:
"Ah, luxuries today, judger'
At the next crossing minister ex.
claimed:
"Am invited to dine with you today"
