Men In Il Close Contest Yesterday.
A great game of ball was PLAYED at
the Athletic Park yesterday Afternoon
between teams composed OF men who
had never played game and others
who had not played for a num-
Der OF years. The captains were Messrs
E. 81. Stewart and Hugh FRY.
For the hrst two innings things moved
along very nicely. But few runs were
made and the errors were not very costly.
Then matters changed. Base hits
and errors became plentiful and the
scorers were soon overcome and could
not record them. Seven innings
were played and the score then stood 90
to Is in favor of Captain Stewart's side
Thos. EngleDy came in the game after
1t had started and hit the ball and ran
bases like professional. He scored
two runs and gave evidence that he was
very much in the game. Some OF the
features were the batting OF Walden and
Trout, the base running of Hardaway
and Angel and the kicking of Graves
and Morris.
Max Howe started out to umpire but
be soon gave way to Ruby Goldstein,
who managed to last until the contest
was ended. The substitutes were in de-
mana ana the different positions were
I filled by numerous men, but after grave
consideration the official scorer decided
that the two teams were composed of
the following:
Stowart's-Ridgewsy catcher; Morris,
pitcher; Hawkins, first base; Boone, sec.

Johnson, right field; Collingwood, center
field; Walden, left field.
1t is not to be supposed that the men
played all through the game in these DO.
sitions. they changed around promis-
cuously and all seemed to be equally
at home wherever shey were located.
The official scorer has an efficient corps
OF assistants working on the batting
and fielding averages and they will be
published as soon as compiled.

Music In Chins and Japan.

Nations which have the git of aris-
tic ooloring and harmony of design
are almost invariably lacking in the
harmony of musical sound. Chinese
and Japanese music is mouotonous in
the extreme, and their singing has
been aptly compared 'to a series of
monotonous, high-tone6 fslsetto notes,
resembling the sad bowling of the
wind in storm or the wall Of a ban
shee."
This arises, not from physical in.
capacity, but from want of knowledge
of music as an art. There are no sweet
singers among Japanese and Chinese
birds. The lark, blackbird, nightin-
gale, thrush and hooking bird are IN
known, so the melancholy cries of the
gull, the hawk, and the kite seem TO
serve as models for the walls and
shrieks of their uncultured human
voices. Detroit Free Press.

A Wonderful Dog.

Speaking of funny things, says the
Chicago Times, did you ever hear of a
wonderful dog that is owned by John
A. Durr, who lives at Vanarsdall, a
little settlement down in Mercer
County, Kentucky This dog beats
Dick Bruce's and Tom Quinlin's dogs
all hollow. He is worth his weight in
gold. He worms tobacco. He begins
at the end of the row and goes down
the line at lively gait, and no worm
Is left to tell the tale of the desolation
wrought. The dog learned this trick
by following Durr's little boys. When
the boyswould start down the row the
dog would follow along.
After watching the youngsters for
several days the dog caught on to the
work himself and took great liking
to it. One day Durr went to his to-
bacco patch and found his boys play
ing in the shade, which was not a
strange thing for boys to do. "Why
ain'tyou worming tobacco?" he yelled.
"Ned's doing it." they yelled back.
Durr went to the patch and found the
big pointer dog buRily engaged in
worming the plants, and he was doug
1t faster than both the boys could have
done. Durr was tickled. Alter his
own patch had been wormed he hired
the dog out to his neighbors at 81 a
day

surmounts the structure, having at its apex
platform for the exposure of the instru-
ments of the Weather Bureau. The Navy
Department will operate a time ball and cleo
trio search light on the roof Of this building.
Ample provision Is made for the requisite
Offices, toilet rooms, stairca5e5, etc. which
are situated in the projecting paviliOns at
the entrances, thus leaving the floor space
available for the exhibits. In the act appro-
priating the money for the exposition, the
Government included clause providing for
the admission Of foreign exhibits free of
duty.
President Diaz, of Mexico, has announced
his intention to make an exhibit of the re-
sources Of that country. There will be also
exhibits from Venezuela, Colombia, Guate-
mala, Nicaragua, Liberia, Cuba, and, it is
expected, Also from the Congo Free State,
Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Salvador, Cos
ia RIGA, Ecuador, Chile Peru, the Argentine
Republic and Brazil.
The architectural idea of Machinery Hall
is that which prevails throughout most OF
the buildings-the Romanesque. The build
ing is designed to give great deal OF space
inside, but little room being taken up by
starways and Offices 1t is sixty-f1ve feet
high. In the Agricultural Building the
architecture is pyramidal in character.
The Electricity Building will be brilliantly
illuminated. 1t is situated at the foot Of the
lake, where its towers and arches, outlined
in rows of light, will be particularly notice.
able The building designed for forestry and
minerals Is to be erected of natural wood,
something after the style of the Forestry
Building at the Worlds Fair. IN the in
terror it will be festooned with Southern
mess and greens. The spaces between the
posts and braces, which are Of natural trees,
will be covered with bark. A roof prome-
made garden, with an area of 1000 square
feet, will be che of the features of this build
ing. Its sides will be formed Of palms and
palmettos.
In the Woman's Building there will be ex-
hibits of books written by women, musical
compositions, patents and inventions and
artistic work. Special attempts will be
made to secure a large collection Of oil
paintings, etckings and water colors, archi-
tectual designs, sculptures, and models in
clay, wood carving, embroideries, plain sew
ing, ceramics and china painting. There
will also be a cooking school and kinder
garten.
The Fine Arts Building is of the italian
Renaissance, with tendency to the Floren-
tine school. 1t is proposed to make the edu-
cattOnal exhibit better in every way, if pos
sibLe, than the one at the Worlds Fair. It
has not yet been decided to have a separate
building for this exhibit, but as the space
accorded to it at Chicago was inadequate, it
is probable that building will have to be
provided. 1t is proposed to have a sample
OF the work of every pupil of every school
in the South.

4 Big Bear.

The largest bear killed in Cambria
County for many years was taken to
Altoona by James Campbell, of Dean
Township, this county. It is of the
genuine black mountain variety, and
tipped the scales at $50 pounds.
Campbell took it to the Farmers
Hotel, where it is on exhibition. 1t
was q magnificent specimen, and at
tracted great deal of attention. Old
bear hunters say they have seldom
seen such an animal. The most re-
markable features in connection with
it is that it met its death at the hands
of Mr.. Campbell's son, "A lad only four
teen years of age. Bear is reported
to be plentiful in that section. Patton

it was, and still IL, matter of regret on the
part Of the management of that great enter
prise, and OF every visitor there, but more
particularly on the part OF the people of the
South, that there was not larger display Of
the products of that very resourceful part of
the country. The reason for this incomplete
display at the Chicago Exposition was be-
cause of the peculiar provisions in the Con-
situations Of most of the Southern States,
which prevented the appropriation of any Of
the public money for such purposes.
To make up for the loss of the display
which should have been had at Chicago, 1t
has been decided to hold an exposition at
Atlanta in 1895, beginning September IS and
closing December 81. This exposition will
take the place of the Cotton Exposition
which is usually held in the South. 1t will
be called the Cotton States and International
Exposition. 1t is not intended that 1t shall
be a merely local or provincial affair." as the
Cotton States Exposition has usually been,
but it will be an exhibition of all the pro-
ducts of the South as we'll as of interesting
material from all American countries and
from as many foreign countries IS can be
interested in the project so soon after the
closing of the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
In view OF the fact that American coun-
tries are to be particularly interested in this
exposition, it was at first proposed to call it
the Pan-American Exposition, but the favor
with which the idea was received by some
national character. The exposition has been
Endorsed by the United States Government,
by the Governors of all the Southern States,
and by all commercial bodies interested In
the development of the South. 1t is ex-
pected that the Southern States will be fully
represented in the exhibits and that there
will be many displays from Northern States,
white the amount OF material that is pledged
from South American countries is large
enough to assure an interesting, if not COM
plete, exhibit of the resources and products
of these countries.
The particular object of this Atlanta Ex-
position is the fostering Of trade relations
between the Southern States and between
the Southern States and Pan-AmGrican coun-
tries. 1t is felt by all Southern people that
there is a large field of business enterprise
south OF the Gulf of Mexico, and, with the
same spirit which has made Yankees famous,
the Southerners are taking steps to make
the most of it. Four Commissioners have
been sent into Mexico, Central and South
America, and through them nearly all these
countries have returned favorable replies to
the invitations to participate in the exposi-
ton.
Although the exposition was at first out
lined something after the plan of the usual
cotton exhibitions, it grew so steadily that
1t has now become universalin plan. 1t was
in last February that mass meeting Of the
citizens of Atlanta was held to take steps to
inaugurate the plans OF the exposition.

Surgeon in Ordinary 10 the household At
Windsor, was summoned, but Sir John was
dead before the doctor arrived. He succeed
ed Sir John Abbott as Premier of the Do.
minion of Canada two years ago.
Sir John Thompson was born in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, November 10, 1874, his father
being native OF Ireland. He had the best
education that city afforded, at the public
schools and the Free Church Academy. For
some years after leaving school the future
statesman reported the proceedings OF the
Nova Scotia Legislature, and during the in
tervals between the sessions studied law
with Henry Pryor, afterwards Stipendiary
Magistrate. He was called to the bar In
July, 1865, and after a successful practice
was appointed a Queens Counsel in 1879.
During this period he was counsel for
the United States Government. acting
with the American lawyers, before the
commission AT hallfaH uu-

In 1888 he was created by Her Majesty "a
knight Companion of St. Michael an St.
George for his services in connection with
the negotiations OF q new fishery treaty. of
which the Right Hon. Mr.. Chamberlain was
Chief Imperial Commissioner. In his min
isterial posts he displayed great intellectual
force and subtlety, with keen grasp of the
whole political situation. However, with
many admirable qualities for leadership. his
long judicial training gave to his manner an
austerity which was the worst feature in the
great Liberals leadership of the Opposition.
He had strong powers OF debate, and most
untarnished private character. He was a
most unpretentious and even, it is said by
those who knew him intimately, ditfldent
man, and an easy victim to the wiles AMI
subtertuges OF the practical politician.
