Washington Dropped to the Last Place by
Losing TO New York.
New YORK. May 11.-For six innings the
Senators were right in the gaI,e to-day and
held clear lead, but the Giants solved the
mystery of Petty's curves in the seventh and
eighth innings and won out by length. 1t
was a pretty game. and both teams played
fast ball in the field. The errors were few,
while Petty and Westervelt pitched fair bail.
The most striking weakness Of the Senato-
rial aggregation was inability to hit the ball
safely, and this weakness lost the visitors the
game That Manager Schmelz has placed his
infield pretty near right was shown by the
excellent work of Radford at short and Sulli-
van at second in to-days game. 1t was really
a pleasure to witness their playing.
Cartwright made three of the four runs
credited to Washington, and hit the ball in
the nose for homer 1t was not until the
seventh that New York scored. and then the
locals got there with a rush, piling up three
runs. In the eighth they bagged couple
more. which gave them the lead, and they
kept it to the end.
John Montgomery Ward was the only Giant
who failed to get nit of Petty, but he made
up for it by putting up strong fielding
game The base hits of Connor and Wester-
yelt were beneficial to New York in the matter
OF run getting.
The Senators by losing to-day's game
dropped into last place in the pennant race,
but Manager Schnelz is not discouraged, and
is confident his team will make a better show
ing after the men become accustomed to their
petitions. The attendance at to-day's game
was 800 The score:

Baltimore hit Carsey for thirteen hits, but
could not get them punched, leaving fourteen

Grange Camp Association Race Meeting
Will Open Up Next Week.


The opening of the racing, in connection
with the agricultural fair and exhibition of
the Grange Camp Association, on Alexander
Island has been postponed until some time
next week. 1t was explained at the Office of
the association that the delay in opening was
due to the failure to have well sunk for
water. This will be provided in the near fu-
ture.
1t was reported that a flaw in the charter
was the stumbling block inasmuch as the
making of books on the races was prohibited
within a radius of two miles from the fair
ground. This is denied by the officials of the
association, and the charter shows the direct
ors OF the association are empowered to pre-
vent the sale OF Intoxicating liquors and all
games of chance upon their grounds and
within n radius of two miles at or during the
time of holding their fairs.
The recent act of the Virginia legislature,
known as the Mushbach law allows of book
making on any chartered race track, and it is
claimed there is no legal technicality in the
way OF pool-selling.

Laskcr Afraid of Poisoning.

MONTREAL, May 11.-Chess enthusiasts were
Startled this morning by the report that
Lasker had left this city for St. Johns, and it
is almost certain now that the worlds cham
lionship chess match would be again post
poned tomorrow. Lasker has been very
reticent. and the other evening complained to
the president of the Metropolitan Club that
members were continually offering him
drinks. He is evidently afraid that he will be
POISONED or drugged, and it has been sug-
eested that placard be put upon the club
bulletin board forbidding members to ask him
to drink on pain of expulsion. Steinitz is

He Kent His Promise.

A certain schoolmaster, whose bump
of originality is highly developed,
once thought of a brilliant idea OF
keeping his scholars within bounds
and securing their good conduct.
Said he to the members of his academy
one day, "if you are all good boys
throughout the week I will show you
something that you never saw, l never
saw, and that when you have seen it
YOU will never behold again"
This extraordinary speech called
forth rapturous applause from the
lads, who promised to do their level
best to win their masters favor. The
week passed without a murmur OF
complaint, whilst the feeling OF ex-
pectation ran high as to what the,
curio would be. At the close of the
week, however, the master rang his
bell, and informed his pupils that ne
was about to keep his promise. He|
then produced from his desk a hazel
nut, which he held up and afterward
cracked.
"Did you ever see this kernel be-
fore, boys?"
"No, SIR replied the youngsters
in one voice.
Neither have l." replied the prin-
cipal, putting it into his mouth, j
sand what is more wonderful
you are not likely to see it again. u

BOOkWOrms.-

The bookworma is' q pest that Is
rarely seen alive. Indeed, some e1-
perienced book collectors and cus1o-
dams of large libraries, although they
never encounter living worms, ire
auently find dead. one.. Sometimes
books are found that are eaten through
and through. One instance is record
ed where a worm had made his way IN
almost a straight line through Six
large volumes. It isc a curious fact
that the genuine bookworm has fancy
for old and rare. books. There ls
probably something in the makeup OF
the old-time volume that pleases MIN
something that satisfies his appetlte.
The finer and more costly the BOOK
the better the worm appears to ike IT,
But if this creature keeps at scorn-
ful distance from cheap books, it does
not follow that inexpensive literature
is allowed to- flourish unmolested-
There is a small, fat bug that LOOKS
upon cheap bindings as dalntles' ana
sometimes becomes 50 numerous that
il is constant annoyance. No one
seems to have quite decided Just what
it is, and the suggestion is made that
it may belong to the roach family, as
this insect is extravagantly fond OF
cheap bindings, which it eats for the
paste that is in them. As the bug
complained of is usually found to be
filed with bright-colored powder, 1t
is probable that tueir bindings, hlled
with paste and glue, are the chosen
food of the troublesome creature.-

Saving and Spending.

The young should be not only en-
couraged to save out Of their small
allowances or earnings, but they
should also be taught how and when
to spend. Above all should the truth
be impressed upon them that the Oh
iect and end Of money is to pur-
chase opportunity, to promote hap
piuess, to improve and enlarge life.
Of itself it is nothing, and may be
made far worse than nothing; but
where the underlying purposes are
those of independence, justice, and
generosity-where the highest vel.
fare of self, Of family, and OF society
Is the desire uppermost in the heart
there both saving and spending &C.
quirs new dignity and will repay
careful culture.
