team at the latter place on Friday and
the former team came very near meet
ing with defeat The Smyrna had ex-
pected to win easily but it was not SO
easy as they anticipated. At the end OF
the seventh inning the score was s to
6 in favor of Smyrna and both clubs
were putting up strong, steady game.
In the eighth inning the Delaware City
team apparently went to pieces and
the visitors were allowed to score s
runs. The same thing was done again
in the last inning and ut the end of the
game the score was "a to s in favor Of
the visitors Harvey, the strong Smyrna
pitcher, who has been doing such good
work this season was easy for the Della

Hard to Define the Elements Which Make

Hard to Define the Elements Which Make
Rulers of Men.
Mary E. Blake IN "Donahoes."
Among the strange vagaries which
fortune plays from time to time in the
circumstances Of the world, and the
passions and preiudices which she
arouses in the minds Of men, there are
none more irregular and inconcluslve
than these which form public opinion
in regard to the leaders whom it chooses
for reverence or applause. One strives
in vain to find some common ground
for the reclamation which lifts one
man above his fellows, or which singles
a certain individual from amid group,
as the object of fealty and homage.
1t is not often goodness, nor always
greatness. Purer souls than some
chosen could be found for the seeking;
loftier spirits and larger hearts than
those who have fettered the minds and
actions of their race, by holding them
in restraint, and forcing cooperation.
There are heroes in the public eye
who do not even appear to have pos
sessed that fascination which we call
for want of better name-humanlty
in dominating the love and loyalty OF
their kind. As one turns the pages OF
history and passes in review the long
array Of dominant spirits who in diff
ferent ages have held men in thrall,
there is scarcely single trait upon
which one can lay hands and say,
"Here lies the common secret. 1t Is
by turns a glory and a humiliation to
confess that such and such men have
ruled mankind-so inexplicable are the
choices made by popular fancy, and SO
equally have saint and sinner aroused
the admiration of the masses.

Angry Citizens Demolist the Building
Because They Did Not Like 1t.
Elkton, Nd, Aug. 90 --Scholl house
No 2, in the Ninth district, near Zion,
was nearly demolished by angered citi-
zens of the neighborhood last night
The reason given is the refusal of the
school commissioners to erect new
building. The school house at the
time was undergoing repairs.
The house was visited by the presi-
dent of the board to-day and he says
it has the appearance of having been
struck by cyclone. 1t will be impos-
sible to repair it now and new build
ing will either have to be erected or
the neighborhood go without a school.
1t is said the work Of demolishing the
house was engaged in by some of the
best citizens.
The commissioners are at work on
the case and it is not unlikely that ar
rests will be made in a day or so.
