The Rig First BRseman Received Shab-
 by Treatment i'm Brooklyn Until He
 Got on His Muscle.
 Reports received from the south are to the effect that George Lachance, the Wa terbury boy who Is now fixture at Brook lyn's first base, is playing great ball and the officials predict for him a great future.
 They tell a good story of Lachance's de- but in Brooklyn. In his first few games his work was miserable. Unfortunately for him his first task in the league was to face Rusie, and he struck out three times ill succession. That almost broke the big boys heart. Then the "old ones" in the team began to make life burden for him. He was jostled and showed about the dress ing room without mercy. In despair he went to 3yrne and asked to be allowed to return to the Eastern league, but Byrne and Foutz thought that they would wait.
 One day big Con Daley. who will be re- membered as the star catcher of the Wa terburys of 1884. gave Lachance one of his customary jostles. The Waterbury lad turned and picked Daley from his feet. as if the catcher were child. and slammed him upon the floor till the sky fell all about Con. When the latter recovered his breath and got up he offered Lachance his hand. From that day Lschance was favorite in the Brooklyn team. The play CTS demanded that he be given a show. He struck his gait, and ended the season 8 fix ture at first base.

THE VANCE MONUMENT.

The letter Of Mrs. Ray, sending a
large contribution to the Vance monu-
ment, has awakened public interest in
the prosecution of that worthy under
taking. 1t has created interest outside
of the State also, the Charleston News
and Courier and the Norfolk Virginian
giving North Carolinians good counsel
Yesterdays Virginian said:
SIN his day and generation, " says the
Charleston News and Courier, 'Zsb
Vance was the most popular man in
North Carolina, and his life was devot-
ed to his people. They followed him
without question, and when he died
there was mourning in almost every
home in the Old North State, " but how
soon We are forgotten is illustrated in
this case, as in many others. Soon after
Senator Vance's death an organization
was formed known as the Vance Me
mortal Association, the object Of which
was to collect funds for monument to
the dead Senator, the cost OF which was
estimated to be almost $4,000, but, as
our contemporary remarks, times were
hard and Vance was dead, and as a
consequence contributions were small
in amounts and few in number, the re-
port of the treasurer made last week, Of
the amount in hand being only 5000
The friends of the dead statesman, of
course, regret this, but it is gratifying to
know that an effort is being made to re-
new the work of the association, and the
hope Is that success will attend the I'M
dertaking. ut is suggested, says the
News and Courier, "that women be en-
listed in the undertaking We hope thai
they will take it up. The men are too
busy looking after the living to remem-
Der the dead, but the women do not for
get, and the women of North Carolina
should not forget Zeb Vance. Let them
build his monument"
