PlCk-UPS.
Peace has been declared between
Whittemore, of Bucksport, and Flynn, OF
Ellsworth, and all is well.
Black and Luchia, the Nashua battery,
secured for the Bluehill game, showed
what they could do, with good support.
Everybody knows what good work Ca
sey and Foster can do as a battery. AT
Bluehill they proved themselves daisies in
the field.
1t is probable that no more games will
be played in Ellsworth till the fair-Sept.
10, II and II, when a game for each day
will be arranged.
Seven men OF the Sorrento nine have
gone away, and Manager Jones informed
Ellsworth that he could not entertain
them last Tuesday as planned.
No definite arrangements have yet been
made for a game on Saturday. Manager
Blaisdell, of Franklin, telephones that il
he can make up a team he will come up.
Weeks, Foster and Flynn wrnt to
Brooklin last Saturday and he'll d the
Brooklins to victory over the Sedgwicks.
While there the boys were guests Of s. G.
Stevens, OF the BROOKLYN Packing Co.
Bucksport, like Ellsworth, has this sea-
son got together the best ball team it ever
had. Since the game at Bluehill Manager
Gem has released all his hired players,
and games hereafter will be played by
local men,
Bucksport has insisted all along that the
Hancock county league was not dead.
Having declined to play Ellsworth to-day
(the 2lst), she will perhaps now admit il.
Ellsworth remains the only club of the
league as originally formed that has not
failed voluntarily to play league game.
Under the efficient direction of A. w.
Ellis, the new ball grounds at Wyman
Park have been laid out. The diamond
is well-nigh perfect, and the out field is
good can be made Of newly cleared
land. A little work next spring will make
this field one of the best ball fields in The
county.
The Eat Men, and Lean Men" of
Bucksport, played ball for the delight OF
the villagers and the benefit of the
Bucksport nine. 1t was great game,
and the Fats won. Score 80 to SO. The
summary OF the game credits the Fats
with 81 hits, Leans, 80; errors, Fats, As;
Leans, 81.

they we're beaten were whipped fairly
and -quarey= Manager Conn said so him
self-in one OF the best exhibitions OF
ball playing ever seen in this section.
The talk prior to the game had raised
the interest in base ball to the highest
pitch Of excitement in bot Ellsworth and
Bucksport, TO say nothing OF Bluehill and
neig boring towns. 1t had also made
Ellsworth grim with determination to
take to B!uehill as good team as could
be got together. The boys were assured
that they would be encouraged by the
presence Of as large a crowd OF sympa-
thizcrs rs could be got together.
A-aresut fully 800 people accompanied
the team from Ellsworth; nearly as
many came from Buck-port. Represent
ative men and women from both towns
were there Il Vas in the air that a
great game WAS to he played, and such
proved to he the case. About 1000
people Witnessed the game, md from
moment in it.

left His Fathers home and came down upon earth that by word and example He would lead sinners to repentance and rescue them from perdition There is no sinner. no matter how guilty, that can not obtain pardon of every sin, no mat ter how numerous or grave in their na- ture. If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow; and if they be as red as crimson, they shall be as white 9 s wool" His mercy extends to all who desire to return to Him. We have the example of St. Peter. St. Paul. Magdalen and hosts of others. and al- though Gods mercy is infinite. it is re- stricted by true conversion. This re- strietion is not on the part of God but man.
 Unless you do penance you shall all likewise perish" All we have to do If we have fallen into mortal sin is to truly repent. Christ came into the world not for the just. but for sinners. Those who are well need not a physician, but those who are sick
 The poor sinners-the transgressors of the law, who pressed around the miracle workeF, the moral teaeher-did not come with malice in their hearts like the proud ha1lseeS, who were trying to find fault with everything He said and laying snares for His ultimate destruction.s No, they came to be instructed, to be told what to do, that with solicitude they could perform all required to gain sal Na the gift of faith, though slender it may have been, yet fingered in their soul. causing promptings of their conscience to become more closely united with their God.
 If faith and hope remain, even if char ity or a true love for God be wanting, though man may commit every sin in the catalogue of offences against Heaven, no matter how long he may have wan dered from the path of the Good Shep- herd with faith, the foundation of jus tice, lingering in his inward being, says a. daily prayer, goes to mass on Sundays. listens with attention and respect to the word of God. there is every reason to hope that the beautiful flower of true conversion may bloom in his future life, as was the case with St. Augustine, St. Paul and others.
 The best time to plant the seed of faith is in youth, when the land is virgin. The child should be taught that the end of man is to know and serve God here, and afterwards to see and enjoy him forever in heaven So our destiny is two fold, one for this life and another for the life to come. Here to know and serve, there
 to see and enjoy.
 What will cause us to fall short of our destiny? Not attending to our business. neglecting our temporal duties-not up a l doing-neglecting to make merit the result of judicious, persevering labor As to spirituals God is not to be forgotten. We should be constant in prayer prac- l tice justice and charity, always say what you believe to be right. In this way | we will not sit with folded arms, idly let | ting the river of life flow on without | casting bread upon it's waters that will | be our security for life eternal.

And Thus It Stands.

Connellsville, Pa, June 23-The con- dition of the iron market warrants an advance in the price of coke, which would have been accomplished at the re- cent meeting of the presidents in New York but for the opposition of w. J. Rainey. All the other producers were willing to put the price up to $1.50 per ton, but Rainey claimed that he had not been treated fairly and was able to sell all the coke he could produce at profita> ble figure. This put damper on the syndicate scheme, and nothing further has been done. If the price of coke is advanced now the H. c. Prick company will have to make the move, and this they are reluctant to do, because as soon as they put furnace coke up to $1.50 per ton the wages of the miners and coke workers will have to be ad- vanced accordingly. The Prick company would have no hesitancy in making such a move were it not that they have no guarantee that the operators would fol- low their example. There would be no advantage in advancing coke to $1.50 and wages in proportion and then have the othe- proprietirs cut the rate down 20 or 30 cents.

 Sheriff Hancock, with his posse. cap tured the robbers who held up A. k. Turner, storekeeper at Rome, this coun- ty, one night last week, and arrived here with them this afternoon. They were captured near Lead Hill, Ark.
 One of the bold thieves. and the one who appeared to be the leader of the gang, turned out to be a woman. Her name is Lydia Briston. There were three of them who committed the rob bery, the Briston woman being dressed in mems clothing. She ordered Turner around in true hghwayman style, punched him with her pistol and cursed him because he did not have more mon ey, terrorizing him until he hardly knew whether he was on foot or horseback.i Sheriff Hancock recovered $30 of the $60 taken and both of the horses and saddles. The three thieves were Ben Trott, an eX convict recently released from the pen at Jefferson City and the lover of the girl, an all-round crook, principally horse thief, who escaped from the Springfield jail two years ago with Peter Renfroe, the convicted murderer; John Brston, brother of the girl, about IS years old, and Lydia Briston. John Briston was captured at his fathers home near Oak land, Ark. The other two were captured on the highway riding the stolen horses.

BRUTAL NEGRo's CRIME.
Lay in Wait for Q Farmer and Horribly
 Butchered Him.

Lexington, Ky, June 23.-William Curry. burly negro. yesterday waylaid and stabbed Harry T. Drake, a wealthy farmer. living near here. He probably will die. Curry escaped, and is being pursued by bloodhaunds. Curry was a cooper on Drake's farm. and his wife was cook. He discharged both. and the negno swore vengeance. He and his wife yesterday went to Drake's home. Reaching the house Curry sent his wife to see if Drake was at home, while he concealed himself in the brush. Drake was not in, and Curry lay in ambush.
 As Drake came walking through the woods the negro sprang upon him, driv- ing a knife deep into his throat and across his ear. Bending his head for ward he drove the knife into the back of Drake's neck at the collar bone and drew it upward to the left ear. He then plunged the knife at his heart, but Drake's arm stayed the force of the blow and left but a scratch. At this point the screams of Drake brought Arthur Knowles and another man to his aid. The negro seeing the two men, dropped his bleeding victim and ran away, cry ing as he went, "I have done him, and l want you next, Knowles; I'd take you now but two's too many

those events of current interest on this coast which 1t deems worthy of tele- graphing. The Call not only realizes that the new alliance gives it in this way greater power to be of service to the city, the state and the coast, but is fully conscious of the responsibility that power imposes. Ever since it passed into the hands of the present management the Call fhas aimed to fulfill all the duties and worthily bear the title of the cham pion of the Pacific coast interests and Pacific coast men. With the attainment of position that affords new and larger opportunities to advance these interests it will pursue that aim with renewed ardor and undiminished zeal. As a rep resentative of the United Press on this coast every energy will be eXerted to make the report full. accurate and com prehensive of all events that make up the life of our community and afford true knowledge of what the Pacific coast IS.
 It is not easy to estimate the full eX- tent of the influence for good the Cal can exert in it's new position.
 "California has never been fully under stood in the east. It has been regarded only as a land of gold. of romance, or deserts, of adventurers. of booms, or endless sensations and of exaggeraupns. It is time to make it known as land Of. a thousand resources, well ordered law, industrious people, safe business, cool
  advancement in enterprise based upon solid foundations and directed by con servative judgment. The reports the United Press will send east will fairly present the facts of Pacific coast devel- opment, and not give more importance to passing sensations than to the legiti- mate news it has of industry politics. education and other forces that are for the welfare of the society.
 "In this way the people of the older sections of the union will get juster ideas of this part of the republic. They will read day by day of new and increased properties and expanding energies; they will know of our widespread indus tries, as of those isolated crimes which have too often been treated as the only news of the day from California. In short they will acquire the truth, and the whole truth and that will be of as much benefit to the Pacific coast as can be de- sired by its most earnest advocates and most stalWart champions"

Got His Salary Any How

Topeka. Ks, June 2S.-Ex-Warden s. w. Chase will probably be arrested in a few days on the charge of misappropria- tion of state funds. Pending the recent Investigation of the numerous charges filed against Chase, which resulted in his removal from office, Governor Morrill, suspended him, but he declined to sur render the wardenship and held on until busted by the supreme court. After he was suspended the state auditor refused to audit his accounts or recognize his vouchers for salary. Chase then went to Oklahoma and collected $2300 from the territory due the state for the board of territorial prisoners who were con fined in the Kansas prison. Chase did not turn this money over to the treas urer, but used it to pay his own sala~y and certain bills against the state.
