The greatest event, outside Of politics,
since the Worlds Congress at Chicago,
is this WomRn's council now in the clos
ing days Of q two weeks session. In
deed, in smaller way it is Q worlds con-
gress. There is the same breadth Of
purpose, the same Catholicity of spirit
which characterized the great congress-
at ChiCsgO and made Of 1t the event Of
all the centuries. The flrst trisnniRl
session of the National Council Of Wo-
men of the United States was held In
this city in 1891. The worlds congress
Of representative women held in Chicago
in 1891 rendered 1t impractical to con-
Vsne the trienniRl council during that
year, which would have been the reRu.
lar order OF meeting. The council Ia
composed Of presidents and representa-
tives of women's organizations which
are national in character. It is not SEQ.

Complished by the short session was that

port Of the government.

representatives and the senate placed in
it an amendment authorizing the presi.
dent to contract for laying q cable be.

refused to accept.

military prison at Fort Lssvenworth,
Kan, to the department of justice, to be
known as the United States penitentisry

States prisoners who have heretofore
been held in state prisons under con-
tracts. The naval bill was noticeable
because Of the "neW navy" provision for
two battle ships and six torpedo boats
and the increase Of the enlisted force by
the addition Of 1000 men. The general
deficiency bill reported to the house
amounted to $3.50, $50. An amendment
requested by the secretary Of state to

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Washington made longer hits, but the
sharp singles of Boston when bases were
occupied told for scores.
Cartwright is fielding in great shape.
Washington, as usual, is under no obi
cations to the umpire.
McGinnis' home run nearly set the boys
crazy.
Crooks stole the first base of the sea-
son, and made the first two-bagger. Bet
ter luck next time.
Nicholson will be all right Don't get
sour on the young man. He is ball
player.
Mcclure was the first victim to the foul
tip strike, and made the first home run.
More power to his arm.
Boston plays this year as if it wanted
the championship.
The league does not give out the at.
tendance this year.
Crooks seems to be in his 1891 form.
Look out for selbach this year. He is
coming fast

caught at the plate
Boston added one on sharp singles by
Long, Mccarthy and Tucker.
Jim Mcclure broke the mouotony in the
seventh by one OF his old timers into left
field, and after two men We're out, Mercer
made the grand circuit on single, which
got away from Mccarthy.
Selbach then retired three Bostonians
In order on grand stand catches.
The Senators began to get the hang Of
Nichols in the eighth, Joyce leading with
pretty drive but allowing himself to be
doubled when Long captured Abbeys fly.
Selbach again took the measure OF the
right field fence for three bases, and as
Hassamer's long fly was dropped by Duffy
and Mcclure hit safely, twomore runs We're
gained before Cartwright struck out
Mr.. Keefe's judgment aided by three hits
from Mccarthy, Tucker and Collins, sent
the hub total up TO fourteen in their half

THE PLAY IN DETAIL.
: washington was first up at the bat, but
failed to find the combination, and retired
in order on easy flies.
Lowe and Long fell victims to sharp
work by Crooks and Nicholson, and then
Duffy poked hot grounder past short
Mccarthy followed with a bounder to left
good for one base.
Abbey, forge ting that passes are barred
this year, gave this fellow free ticket
to the fence, and Mac chased Duffy across
the home plate Tucker coaxed for balls.

Off Lowe and 8 Hassamer followed with a
good single matters looked hopeful. Nc
Guire, however, could not find the ball
and SeIbach was nailed after the third strike
While taking too much ground at second
Cart wright died, Nash to Tucker.
After Nash had given Crooks a chance
Camel beat slow ball to first, but Nichols
Struck out and Joyce handled loves
grounder successfully.
Crooks batted to first when Nichols made
a promising effort to bore hole through
him. stole second and kept on to third when
Camel threw the ball into center; the
next three men failed to get the ball out of
the diamond.
Washington crawled out of hard place
in the last half, when, afterLong had fouled,
Nicholson made a wild throw off Duffy's
grounder and Mccarthy advanced the little
fielder to third. Tucker hit finally to
first, but Cartwright stuck to the ball and
passed it to Mcclure, cutting Duffy
at the plate. 1t was pretty play and well
,applauded. Collinsgave Nicholson achauce
to redeem himself which was accepted.
The fourth only added another egg to
Washingtcns nest, while Boston doubled
her score.
Nash led off with a clean hit, and Nichol-
son, in his anxiety for double play, dropped
the ball which Joyce fielded to him of
Camel and both were safe. A short passed
ball and two outs from short to first scored
both men.

AN ATRoCIoUs DECISION.
Not only was victory wanting. but never
in sight. From the start the Hubites had
the call, while the locals ran losing race
and took their opponents dust.

Two points won it for Boston-brilliant
team work and the superb pitching of

These account for the result. but the
defeat was rendered more signal by the
three runs in the last inning of Boston.

ever rendered on ball field.

He sent up high fly down the left foul

The hoodoo wasonin full force.

The ehoodoo was onin full force.
Washington never could play with brass
band, anyway
And, as if that were not enough, some
misguided admirer took advantage of the
youth and inexpenence of Serappy Joyce
and rang in a bouquet of La France roses
on that gentle lad when he came to the bat
for the first time.
That settled it. Bill put up a weak little
ny that Bobby Lowe took in with ridiculous
ease, and for six weary innings thereafter
the gloom on the beachers settled down
till you could cut it up in chunks
Incidentally the sly tricks of young man
from the Hub, named Nichols, with the
BAH, had something to do with the disastrous
dumping Of the rooters' hopes-but that's
another story.
NATURE WAS o. K.
It was through no fault of the outward
Surroundings that the home team failed so
signaIly to realize the hopes of its friends.
Nature did her best, the skies were never
fairer, the lawns greener, or the breeZes
more halmy; a crowd that filed every
seat and far overtaxed the accommodations
Of the grounds, giving pleasant assurance Of
swelling Golfers; crowd enthusiastic and
greeting old favorties and new eomers with
generous applause and warm appreciation
all these were present but the one thing
needful for the roUters' happiness, a victory
for the home team, was wanting.
Long before the hour of four arrived
great crowds were pushing into the grounds
and when game wascalled several thousand
people were fringing the field on all sides
and hundreds more clamoring for entrance.
The lowest estimate OF the attendance was
5000, and probably 1900 is a fair cal
culation OF the number, which included
hundreds of officials of all degrees and
a large proportion Of the best people of
the city.
