The Best Fruit OF -FOUR Centuries of

The first moral cause OF permanence OF

advantage is the principle of liberation
in religiOn-a principle which has been
very recently put in practice. not by
any means In all parts of the civilized
world. but in a few favored regions, and
notably in the United States. On one
OF the tablets OF the Water-gate at
Chicago was written this sentence:
federation In religion the best frult OF
the last four centuries" This statement
is no eXaggeration, but the literal truth.

| BALTIMORE. Oct. 5.-Hundreds OF
Baltimore enthusiasts who had arranged
to go to New York tonight to see the

cancelled their engagements. Many OF
them discarded their orange and back

and donned plain black as better repre-

consequence. II was not alone the loss
Of the game, however, that caused 50
many heart-aches. More properly should
the dissatisfaction and dsaffecton be
attributed to the faults of the play
ers while off the field.
This morning the Orioles were in as
uncertain a frame Of mind over the
playing OF the Temple series as they
were yesterday. Some OF the players
were sulking and wranglinS. and McGtaw
openly asserted that he would not play
