his feet slipped from under him and he
fell into the water Miss Richardson, a
colored nurse in the employ of a family
on Spruce street, heard the splash, and
turning saw the boy struggling in the
water Without hesitation she hurried
down the slippery steps and reaching
over grasped the boy by the collar or the
coat and lifted him to the steps. fortu-
nately the tide was very high or other
wise Miss Richardson would have been
unable to reach him.

THE FIELD OF SPORT.
We Took Terrific Revenge on Paw.
tucket Yesterday.
BOTH TODD AND MEEKIN BATTED
OUT OF THE BOX.

pawtuckets Completely Demoralized-
Portlands Made Fl Runs and 10 Hits
with Total of 81 in First Six Innings
Then by Careless Playing They Got No
More RIMS and Allowed PawtucSket to
Gct1Runs and Hits in the Last Three
Innings
v-,in were the efforts of the Pawtuckets
q erday after the first innings. In that
br4ef time Portlands heavy batting
backed up by Sullivan's pitching had
completely annihilated them as far as any
prospect of their winning the game was
concerned
In the first Slater waited for four, Lang
fumbled, Leighton sacrificed, O'Rourke
hit left field fence with a two Dagger and
Davis muffed thrown ball, all of which
netted us three runs. This is a good be-
ginning, but it was nothing to the next
inning. Terrien began the slaughter OF
Todd with two base hit to right centre.
Big Sullivan thought that was good
place to aim for SO he lined tho ball into
the same hole for another two Dagger.
Todd was getting groggy by this time
and when Captain Slater drove a third
1.-TWO Dagger down by third base, Todd
was knocked out completely, and went
| and sat down on the bench
Meekin went into the box and didn' t
| fare much better. Singles by Leighton,
| O'Rourke had Corbett and base on
balls by Magoon came in quick success
sion. Snap Lang made another error.
We had batted around and two men over
before the inning was over. 1t Melted us
six runs. four of them earned.
We got two more in the third. Then
we piled on the agony, worse and more
of it, in the fourth and fifth innings.
In the fourth we got five earned runs
and struck around once. Corbett singled,
but was caught at second by Terrier Is
brounder. Then came Sulliyan's second
two Dagger, and singles by Slater, Shaffe1
and Leighton, and double by Spill in
succession That beats any inning this
season on the home grounds for earned
runs. 1t retired Meekin, and Daley went
in to pitch, Waldron taking third, Yeage1
right, Meekin left and Barton in from
left to CATCH
We also got five runs and struck around
once, with one man over in the fifth in,
ming We only got four hits in that in
ming, but there were three bases on balls,
and passed ball. The Pawtuckets were
completely demoralzed, and by this time
the slaughter had lost it's SAVIOR for the
| spectators and safety had begun.
| The Portlands were getting weary OF II
too, and they began to let up and gel

been kept down to one run, due to singles
by Meekin, Whiting and Hannivan in the

The last thr , innings were almost as
bad as the first three, only the boot was
on the other leg Sullivan let up and the
Portlands got foolish and careless Paw

Notes of the Game.
The Fall Rivers will be here today. and
there is no reason why we shouldn't
warm their Jackets Killeen will pitch
and Goodhart will catch. Game called at
315.
Shaffer was in trance again in the
first inning. Hannivau's little fly over
shortstop had to be scored a two Dagger
simply because Shaffer was slow. What
of it if Spill did run out. 1t was
Shaffer's ball and he might have got it.
Slater repaired the damage by running
out towards the flag staff and spelling a
base hit for Davis by making phenome-
nal CATCH Then he threw to second and
got Hannivan, who was reposing serenely
on third.
Leighton's hit in the fourth was of the
scratch order. Davis ran off first and got
the grounder. but.couldn't get back in
time. Meekin failed to cover first as he
ought and SO Jack was safe.
Slater's hit in the fifth was scratch.

Look Out for the swindier.

A smooth rascal was about town yester-
day and attempted the film fam game in
several places. His trick was, to ask for
a ten dollar bill for small change as he
wished to mail it. Then he apparently
sealed it in an envelope, but found that
he had not enough small change and SO
he would leave the envelope while he
went after the remainder. 1t is un-
necessary to say that the envelope would
contain nothing but wad of paper
The game was successful in at least one
place, and the police are looking for the
fellow.

Standing on Their He ads.

Duluth commonwealth:
Any gentleman who thinks the solu-
tion of the currency problem lies in
issuing two or three hundred million
more of bonds for the banks to pledge
for cure ncy and releasing the banks
from what tax they now pay on circu-
lation, any such can save his breath
by desisting from explaining to the
public the merits of his plan.
For the people won't have it. The
people feel hot enough against the is
sue of more bonds in time of peace
anyway. They have enough opposi-
tion to continuing the privileges
banks of issue now enjoy. And when
you propose to increase the permanent
interest bearing debt, not for the
treasury but for the sake of providing
a basis of more bank circulation, you
rouse many of these excellent people
to state bordering ON frenzy.
II this was the wiSeSt scheme in the
world 1t would be waste of energy to
press it. The people are dead set
against it.
And they are more than half right.
1t is an upside down view of finance.
1t supposes that the treasury is there
to make basis for bank circulation,
and that government bonds are issued
to make collateral for bank notes. 1t
is absurdly distorted, as though man
should put mortgage on his house
for the sole object of giving his
neighbOr the mortgage to borrow
money on from himself. 1t
would be hard to beat that for topsy
turviness. It would be hard to find

10 per cent of the 10000 anthracite

The Astronomer.

They had met and loved and married
But in taste they did not agree;
While still together they tarried
Each longing to be free.
And at last loves bands were riven,
For they fought with equal zest;
Half his wealth to her was given,
And the lawyers took the rest.
From their severed ways depression
He had hoped to settle down
To attend to his profession.
And by working gain renoWn.
But fame'S meteOric brightness
As great astronomer,
Seemed to quickly lose its lightness,
When he missed the smiles of her.
And he had that tired feeling,
That his labor was in vain:
And the chains We're round him stealing
Which draw down to sins domain.
For the dipper's charm no longer
Did his glowing passion yearn,
But for something that was stronger
Now taste began to burn
Never even did he ponder
on the signals just from Mars:
To the opera he would wander
There to hear the singing stars.
And one night he became enamored
OF a singers voice sweet.
For her love his spirit clamored
To retard his downward feet.
Costly flowers he oft would send her,
Laden with the gardens breath.
And a score of notes he pHnned her
That to lose her would be death.
Soon a meeting she appointed.
He prepared him for the strife.
And with loves true grace anointed,
He soon met his former wife.
For her hand with ardor plead he,
As in earlier brighter years:
All those horrid dark spots said ne,
| will wash away with tears.
Now again they are united
In the bands of truest love.
And their lives will move on piighted
While the stars shall shine above.
