 Last Saturdays ball game between the married and single men was the most interesting that has been played here for some time. The single men won the hon. ors; but for few "ifs" the married men would have won. The single men had sat up all the night before studying the base ball guide for 1894, and were equipped on points, as well as able to give a few fancy points to the umpire. The score would have been overwhelmingly in favor of the married men if the distance around the diamond had been shorter, as they were heavy batters, but by the time they got to the third base they were willing to be put out. The married men had faint recollec- tlons of former experience with balls, some with base balls, some with cannon balls, others with codfish balls. The f1eIders of the married men held councils of war on the field, and when the sphere went towards Stafford Springs would draw lots to see who would shack it. At the last part of the ninth inning but three married men were left on the field, and as the single men were unwilling to rap the ball all night the game was closed | The scorer was the busiest man on the | field.

 Difference of opinion makes horse races, and when the drivers sell out it might make 8 muss.
 The mayor, marshal, sheriff and sev eral prominent citizens of Valparaiso, Ind. met Gen." Randalps ''a1my" about three miles outside the city the other day to confer with him and to inspect his men before their entrance within the municipal limits A proposition was made that if the army" would pass several miles north of the city the citizens would give them 5OO loaves of bread and 500 pounds of meat and coffee. The proposition was accepted, and the "army" moved north. How far is this ''condoning" of public nuisances to be carried?
 The Coxey movement will cost the na- tional government considerable sum. One of it's first results is demand for $5O, ,OO0 for additional expenses of United States marshals, principally in the west ern states, where interference with rail- roads has necessitated action by the fed eral officials.
