Carl Beck Orchestra Concert.

1t must have been the magnetic influ.
ence of the report that Herr Carl Beck
would WELD the baton at the last of the
series Of concert at the Mission Garden
last night, in consequence OF which the
large concert hall was fun to overlooking
with an apDreciatlve audience. While all
the numbers on the program were well
rendered there is little special praise
due in the execution of delicate rendition
in dimmuendO's as in "Albumblatt" and
"NachtgeSang." Herr Marks violin solo
was excellent, and had the thanks of the
audience for the variations ION the
Sewanee." II Byron could have heard
the Strauss waltz, he would never have
written his satirical ode to the waltz.
Prof. Beck has arranged series of
Sunday afternoon winter concerts by this
orchestra at this garden. which will be-
gin about November. Rehearsals will
begin next Sunday.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Up to this good hour, the Express, Gus
HOustOn's organ, has failed TO secure
from their candidate definite eXpresslol
of his views upon the tariff question
Although Gus has made several speeches
the Express has avoided publishing his
words or statements.
At Del Rio the Express correspondent
reported that Gus denied that he did not
stand on the Democratic platform. When
Gus accepted the nomination he made a
theatrical play by declaring he would
stand by the interests of his district
against Populists, Democrats or Republi-
cans. What those interests were he kept
in the dark. The Express owes 1t to It's
readers to define Gus on the tariff.
A letter from a prominent citizen Of

is were here a few weeks ago, the former,

gusted the intelligent and insulted the
ladies Of the audience" Perhaps the EX'
press has omitted publishings Gus's
Speeches because they come under the
head of obscen e literature
Gus has evidently mistaken his audi
ences in the west, he thinks they are I'M
cbuth and yulgar,-and enjoy broad
joke better than chaste speech,-or
maybe, he has been led astray by the Ex-
press. that a congressman should not be

which Judge Noonan stands par excel

Gus wants his hearers to understand
that he has graduated as typical whang.

WILL PLAY BALL.
The Browns and San Antonios Will
Meet Sunday.

The San Antonio team and the West
End Browns are matched for a game of
baseball at San Pedro park next Sunday
afternoon. The game will no doubt be
the most exciting and interesting of the
season, as the Browns have until last
Sunday defeated every team they have
met this season.
The Browns are composed of young
men of this city, who have played to-
gether the past three seasons, and in that
time there have been very few changes
made in the team. Martin Wright, their
popular pitcher, has officiated in all of
the games and has won quite a reputa-
tion for himself and his team.
The San Antonio team will consist of
weS known players, who have played in
the team for several seasons.
The two mines will be made up as fol-

RISE OF THE new ORGANIZATION

Clubs.
Various
MANAGERS AND THE TEAMS

The Departmental Base Ball League Is
3ust ending a successful season, In which
have been given some fine exhibitions
Of base ball playing. When the league was
Started, In last June, many predicted that
the organization would be a failure, but
even these skeptics are forced to admit that
the league has been as successful as any
amateur organization Of like character
that was ever Instituted In this city. and in
consideration Of the fact that 1t was hastily
Organized the success that It has attained
Is indeed truly remarkable.
In early June MIR. A. A. Sousa conceived
the idea of forming a league of base ball
players, to be drawn from Uncle Sans
departments. A meeting was held in the
postmaster's room at the city post office,
and the following clubs sent representatives:
Bureau of engraving and printing, District
Commissioners Office. War Department,
Navy Department. geological survey. Post
Office Department, Interior Department,
pension office. Treasury Department. city
as its officers: Mr.. Antony A. Sousa, presI-
dent; Mr.. Lamar Cobb. vice president; Mr.
Alvin Belt, secretary, and Mr. Horace Du-
rant. treasurer. They then proceeded to
formulate the necessary rules. etc, to gov
ern the organization. and on July 10 mines
began playing on the prepared schedule
AT once it was manifest that the league
was composed of good material, but the
Chief credit Is due to the managers Of the
oinerent clubs, who had but a short time to
perfect the necessary arrangements pertain
Ing to uniforms. training. etc
However, the season started auspiciously,
and II was inme l'atciy seen that the leagI
would have successful season. Among the
players are many ex-professional base ball
players, and IL Is safe to presume that some
now in the clubs will soon be placed on
N M To- Loo
Now that II has the confidence Of the pub
nc, The league can start next season more
propitiously. and will have fewer obstacles
70 overcome than they had at the beginning
