for nearly two hours the people were
treated TO delightful concert. One
of the selections seemed to take an ex-

that the instruments almost spoke the
words. Leader Eberle and his players

About 400 lovers of the national
game were thoroughly diegusted at
Battery Park on Saturday. By some
way or another Manager Herbert, OF
the 9. A. G., was guided into bringing
what was termed the Wilmington
Athletic Club here to play ball. The
battery was all right and before the
game began 1t was limited to Kenney
that he ought not to go into the box
with such support as was visible.
Before the game was over he became
,
1t seemed that It was cage Of who
would make the worst play. The
short stop tried several times to pick
up ball but could not, and then he
lay in front OF the ball and still he
couldn't stop 1t. Let US hope that the
next club that comes here will be bet
ter than tue two last ones.
The home club Is deserving OF sup.
port, but the management cannot ex-
pect the public to contribute toward
paying the expenses of such players
as were seen here In the games last
week.
The features of the game we're Ly-
ties batting and montgomery and
Duffy making running fly catches. J.
McCanerty's long throw from right to
third was certainly beauty.
Tho Pullman strike or the Chicago
riot is hourly discussed here. Some

1ority are favorable to the law. and
maintain that continued shower of
bullets will quell the anarchists and
clear the railroad tracks, SO that the
trains will be permitted to move, and
. while such talk Is going on some
quiet little whisperings are going on
right here. as to the manner in which
great corporation Is treating some
OF it's workmen. 1t is stated, on good
authority. that some OF the men who
earn the big salary OF six dollars n
week had been living in houses which
rented at IS a month.
The Same corporation mad houses to
rent Mt, 1t Is understood. o. month,
and sol those men had to decide be-
tween quitting work entirely or work
for 50 week and pay Sc week for
rent.
But none can enjoy life in New Cas-
tie but the wealthy. and OF course such
reporter thank goodness ia not found,
who enjoys q salary OF thousands O
year.
l used to hear some people speak
about "whistling Monday" but now
we weekly enjoy "whistllng Sum
day." BY this is meant that those who
would like to take trip on the river
can go whistling. for not river boat
stops here on Sunday. One grand
consolation we have. however. and it
is that We can look at the boats pass
down and up the river.

Adjustments resumed operations after

! During the past week two wheel
barrows were taken out Of A. NJ. Hiz-
er's yard, and unless they are returned
at once some persons will get into
trouble over them.
Unless several parties cease talking
in the manner they have been for the
past few days they will tnd them
selves In trouble. On last Tuesday
evening, number of young boys got
drunk by drinking keg OF beer. The
manner iii which they conducted
themselves was really scandalous.
Now, the friends of some of the boys
allege that the beer was obtained at
the stores OF cigar dealers. and Wilbur
Meredith intends to hold these parties
accountable for their slanderous talk,
as he never did nor never intends to
sell Intoxicating drink unless he has
license to do 30.
