A Slaughter of Innocents.

1t was a slaughter of innocents, the ball game
yesterday between the Brattleboro High school
and a Hinsdale club called High school nine
but made up largely of older players. The home
team,was a strictly school boys organization and
most of the ayers were never in a game before.
Perry, who has good curves and speed, lacked
control, and was also poorly supported He re-
tired from the box in disgust at the end Of the
fifth inning, and going in as short stop set his
companions an example of good fielding. Wilson,
q lett handler, who pitched the latter part of the
game, was also wild, and his slow ball hit
hard when 1t came over the plate Aldrich show
ed up in fine form at first base. Perry, with
three clean nits, the only home player who
welded the ash effectively.
Toby Bean, Brattleboro boy, did the star work
for Hnsdale He put the ball over the fence
twice, something our cracker. jacks seldom did in
a single game. r. McCaughren also made two
good drives. Purcell put liner against the right
field fence, but it bounded back and he got only
one base Bergeron did the best work in the field
for the visitors.

to curry public favor, they have enough
and to spare of that commodity already;
besides if the question of "to encore or not
to encore" were put 10 the vote it would
probably be found that the majority of the
audience were in favor OF letting the opera
proceed without Interruptions. The Bos-
tonians might at least give people chance
of paying their money and taking their
choice by giving alternately "Da capo
nights" and Straight ahead nights At
present the unadyertised "Da capos" are
thrust upon every theater- goer, whether
he wants them or not.
The fact is that one or two persistent
encore fiends are like little Ieaven-they
leaven the whole lump. There are also
many good-natured people nthis City who
labor under the delusion that no. to encore
a singer is to show him slight, nay,
posi- tive insult. These kind souls forget
that when all the performers are encored
the significance of the compliment is lost.
"Honors divided count nothing" is accord
ing to Hoyle.
Many people consider "Trilby" nothing
but fad, and predict that the play will
soon die natural death. Probably they
are right, but the fad while it lasts is a
paying one. .'TriIby" has been the great
est money maker of all the plays in the
world this year. Three weeks ago the
play took in total of $25, 900 at the various
theaters where it was being given. San
| Francisco led the procession, according to
the New York papers, with receipts OF over
$500. and Dublin followed with over $4,000,

There was no doubt about the reality of
the fire in which the Phoenix" rose from

the thrilling melodrama were nightly en-

The Gotham Quartet at the Orpheum are
blessed with much better voices than most
vocalists of the halls. The tenor has fine
robust voice, and the bass goes so low that
one wonders how he ever gets up again.

CRIMSON CLOVER SEED

The growing of crimson clover seed
has become an important branch in
farming in lower Delaware during the
past few years. The low price of seed
last year 50 so to So per bushel-with
the prospect for lower prices this sea-
son, had the effect of causing more
clover to be cut for hay or plowed un-
der as soil enricher than ever before.
Still, a considerable quantity was
saved for seed. Much of that saved
will be needed for home consumption,
but some of it will be sold and ship
ped to other States. The first of July
generally finds the price of seed fixed
but this year the speculat rs and job
bers are afraid to make offers, and the
growers do not know what they
should ask. The fact that for
eign-grown seed can be delivered and
sold here at $3.50 or even less per
bushel will probably have the effect of
fixing that figure for the domestic ar

AGRICULTURE IN THE COMMON
SCHOOLS.
We are beginning to awaken to the
fact that there are two grave errors in
our common school system; we teach
many things that need notbe taught, and
we omit to teach many things that
should be taught. In the reading les
sous that are furnished, the lives of
men who have succeeded as politicians
lawyers bankers and poets are held up
as worthy models for emulation, but
nothing about great farmers, the men
who feed themselves and the rest OF
the world. The problems in arithme-
tic have much to do with interest, dis
count and exchange, but very little
with farm mechanics. And so on
through the whole course of study,
farming is in effect belittled and made
subordinate to the money making or
the honor-pursuing avocations of life.
Rev. e. z. Powell in an address be-
fore farmers institute at Clinton, n.
Y. presented the existing condition OF
common school education very clearly
when he said:
And here we are met by the fact
that American Education was never
meant for the agriculturist. 1t grew
out of European education and took
its shape from old medieval notions.
1t put geography, grammar and arith-
metic to the front, just as a little
higher up it placed Latin, Greek aud
rhetoric. Now on the land we have
to deal with something that those
studies do not touch. We are con-
sumed with bugs and blights and
droughts, we deal with trees and plants
with flowers and fruits and vegetable
life in general, with animals and soils,
with rock and water courses. What
we want taught to our children is not
the geography of India, or even Indi-
ana; but a knowledge cf the things
under their feet and all about them.
They should begin with geology, a
knowledge of the soils and chemistry,
a knowledge of waters and minerals.
Entomology, botany, and zoology are
farm studies, and if our young folks
can have these they can get not only
a living off the land, but be SO much
at home on the soil that you cannot
induce them to leave it. This will
come. We shall see our common
schools readjusted so they will stand
in gardens, and half of each day will
be given to the study of things and
the half to books.
