year. AT the close of his semi. centen-
NAL he was presented with a handsome
testimonial by the faculty and alumni,
and scarcely a recent session has pass
ed that some class in the modern lam
guages has not given him some token
of esteem. Professor Parkinson, the
assistant professor in the school of nod-

of absence, and Mr.. Reinhart, an ac-
complished linguist, has been discharg-

the remainder of the season teach also
Spanish and Italian, the tongues to
which DR.. Schele de We're has for the
past year or two confined himself.

AS ANTICIPATED, the attempt of the
A. P. a. in Bridgeport to prescribe pc
litically the foreign born and Catholic
residents of that city has ~inaugurated a
conflict between the latter and their
native and Protestant fellow citi-
zens, and only naturally, as retaliation
in kind is q human frailty. In the ear
lier and better days of the country
nothing was more abhorred that the
alien law, and nothing more priced
than perfect freedom of religious opin-
ion. But times have changed and
men with them, and, what's more, both
for the worse. More crimes have been
committed in the name of religion than
even in that of liberty, though the lat
ter have been numerous enough in all
conscience.

THERE IS no doubt of the fact that
the rich people of this country have
contributed in no small degree to the
disregard that is now paid to the OBJ
servance of law and the preservation
of order. When they o~bstruct, delay
or prevent the execution of national
aud State statutes by means of the in.
fluepcs of their money in legal proceed.
ings, it is not at all unnatural that othe,
men, having no money, should attempt
to effect the same object by the use o.
personal force and violence. Upon
the strict observance of the law and
obedience to the powers that he,
whether good or bad, depends the wei
fare of both the rich and the poor, and
the. former should never forget that
example is,better than precept.

DEFEATED THE PENSIONERS.
Team From the Y. NJ. c. \. Hat
SUDprior A AhilIty

Team From the Y. NJ. c. \. Had
Superior Ability.
The Young Mems Christian Association
baseball team yesterday defeated the Pen
sion office boys by TIE score of 10 to S
in the fifth game OF the series now being
played by the Independent District League
clubs.
1t was waterloo and everybody was
sorry for the Pension lads when the Ath-
letic Association boys not only took fall
out of their opponents, but then kicked
them while lying PROSTATE.
No sooner had the two clubs crossed bats
than the crowd sa W that something was
wrong. The Pensioners were not in it,
and an exuberant association man sug-
geSted that the entire club apply for pen
sions at their own office. Capt. Jaeger,
of the Pension team, explained the affair
by stating that his best players were
absent
The bail was batted all over the lot and
the association men waddled around the
bases like ice wagons, feeling sure that the
men on the other side could not touch them.
The feature OF the game was running, or
rather rolling catch, by Townsend. the
center fielder of the Y NJ CA team. He
ran about forty yards aud fell over portion
OF the field which had been recently
ploughed
While falling Townsend caught the bah,
and, rolling over several times, he still
held on 10 it. The Pension office team
was completely disorganiZed and before
the game they said that they would be de-
feated, yet played because they did not
want to disappoint the spectators. The
score is as follows:

PLATE PRINTERS ARE LUCKY
They Came Very Near Being Beaten
by the Treasury Team.
Closely Contested Game From Begin
ming To End-Bernard's Pitching
Saved the Bureau Men.

One OF the largest crowds that has wit
Messed a Departmental League game this
season was out TO National Park yesterday
afternoon and saw the crack Bureau aggre-
gauon come within an ace OF meeting their
Waterloo in the game with the Treasury
Department team
The exhibition, with the exception OF
the first inning, was as pretty a game in
every respect as one would have wished
10 lock al The two mines were well
matched. and the contest from the very
beginning was unusually interesting. Al
times The excitement was intense.
The Bureaus, lucky, as usual, pulled
out victorious, although they did not de-
serve the game. for they were outplayed
III many respects by their opponents Ber-
naTd vas greatly weakened 10y his work
IN Saturdays struggle and failed to find
as many victims in The Treasury nine rs
be expected: nevertheless his pitching was
about an that saved the game. The Cash
lcTs Uut eat new article in the way OF
an occupant OF The box by the name OF
Nichols, and he proved a great strength
10 IHe team, both in the field and with the
stck Pop Kellar did not play, but
he was an interested spectator and never
lost an opportunity to root for his colts.
Barring the innings when the Bureau
got the Tattles and went to pieces, the men
OF both sides Were retired like clock work
Ever ythIug went smoothly for the
champions uutn the seventh inning, and
ihIugs began 70 change a little.
The Cashiers made a couple OF hits,
the Plate Printers couple OF erroTs, and
things took turn, when Billy Bolway s
men scored three runs. They did not
count for much, however, for the Bureaus,
through neyeT-railing good fortune, beat
them out. Billy Bolway may have had
several off days" recently, but he re-
deemed himself yesterday by playing
= remarkable short He accepted eight
out Of his nine chances ana the only error
maring his good work was wild throw TO
first base.
Barrows fielded Wei at second base,
and, as matter offact the Treasury swork
in the field as far superior to that Of their
opponents. The Bureau got somew hat
twisted several times. Leach was a thing
or two short at third base, and Beach
and McCauey failed TO show their good
points, although McCauley put IN some timely
stick work. The champions are able tC
keep wide awake at any event, aud thai
amounts to a great dealin an amateurgamt
Of bah.

of baseball to-day seen upon the South End
grounds for years Burnham and Hunt Of
ficiated as umpires, and bea the record for
incompetency The consequence was kick
ing galore. Burnham reversed decisions
and showed weakness by appea ling to re-
porters on balls and strikes. The Brooklyns
won by hard hitting, though the BoStons
jumped on Stein in the eighth and the substi-
tuition of Kennedy alone saved the game for
them. Stivetts took ScXtons place in the
