Base Ball Notes.

Lewiston Sun: The Remedies played a
steady uphill game, and after the third
inning Patterson's delivery was quicker
so that the Lewistons were unable to hit
his swift ball to any extent.
Pawtucket Times: OF all the Maine
teams, Pawtucket cranks would like to
see the Remedies strengthened and win
from now out. Burnham's boys are as
clean, gentlemanly set of ball players as
ever stepped on diamond.
Umpire Gaffney declared the game at
Springfield, Thursday, forfeited to Roches
ter, 8 to 0. at the beginning of the last
half of the ninth inning because there
was no ball to play with. The score at
this time was II to in Spring1eld's favor
and there was no prospect of Rochester
winning.
Bangor Commercial: The Sun wants
Stephen j. Kelley of Lewiston. who has
umpired the college games for several sea
sons past, made New England league
umpire and thinks he would make one of
the stars of tho staff. And we rather
think the Sun is right about the matter.
We have seen Kelley umpire and he seems
to know his business.
If this is the Kelley who has umpired
in the Maine College league this season,
he Is certainly a first-class man.
Watervillc Mail: The Kennebcc team is
made up of set Of young men who try to
play ball in a cleanssand gentlemanly man
ner and we don't like to have them run up
against a set of ru1fians like those under
Manager Doe. Umpire Connolly, however
was up to all the tricks of the New Bed
ford aggregation and called them down
several times We like Mr.. Connolly and
would be pleased to have him umpire all
the games here but don't send us the New
Bedfords again. Keep them in Augusta
or Gardiner or outside the county If pos
sible. We don't want them.
Waterville Mail: We fancy that it would
be good thing for the management of
the Remedies to have the games in
this city begin at 3 30 instead Of earlier
rs heretofore. People don't care to get
out to see a game so early in the day
as two or even half past two o'clock and
there are n good many who can go at
n later hour who can't go at two or even
, 30. This is especially true OF the
Saturday games, for on that day the
Lockwood mill hands get out Of
the mill at three O'Clock and there are
lots of base ball cranks in their number.
The reason for calling the games SO early
has been to take advantage of the atten
dance from out of town. but this has not
amounted to very much so far, and on
both days visitors have had to leave to
catch the afternoon trains before the games
wero finished. This city and Fairfield can
be depended upon to turn out good
crowd at the few games to be played here
If the Remedies play first-class ball and
it is the patronage of these two towns,
principally, that should be expected.

SOME SENTIMENT in FLATS.
Tender Associations About Places In Which

the City Nomad Locates.
"This moving about every year destroys
the sentiment of life," an old gentleman
was overland to say TO a younger one on
suburban train one day during the migrat-
ing period.
We lived in the same house over on
Michigan avenue ever since the fire Of 1871,
anu we managed to save good many
things from the old home to make the new
one homelike. There is no one left now
but myself and q daughter. Ton years ago,
when she was married, my min law
could not buy house, and they proposed
to 80 into an apartment. l said no, they
could come and live in the old home Now
every nook and corner of the place Is dear
TO them. They were married there and
came back from their honeymoon to sit be-
fore the same CRATE fire where they had sat
together in tho days of their courtship.
Their children have all been born in one
room, and one has died and been carried
out the front door,
Birth, marriage and DEATH" answered
the younger man. lone of our Cam
bridge philosophers has said that a house
was not a home until these three things
had happened in it, until the walls were
saturated with joy and grief Yes, that
should make the place dear to your family.
Bat think you are mistaken about
this moving from one house to another
killing the sentiment for home. Most poo.
pie love some locality for its associations.
We have moved several times for material
reasons, but there are places In which we
have lived that my wife and cannot pass

The Lesson of Neatness.

Mothers cannot too soon begin to teach
their small daughters that to care daintily
and neatly for their belongings, no mat
ter how simple they arc, is one of the vir-
tues. Gloves pulled out and carefully put
away; ties folded and put in box with a
sachet bag; handkcrchiefs similarly looked
after, and shoes mated and slipped in the
proper pockets or stood on shelf-ali
these little niceties begun at tender age
become second nature. Costly things soiled
and crumpled are vulgar. Exquisite neat
ness with the simplest belongings betrays
refinement.
