tude on the money question at the con-
vention in the morning. Prof. J. L. Laugh

mark against free silver was greeted with

The First Game of the departmental
Leanue.

The First Game of the Departmental
League.
The Departmental Base Ball League sea-
son was opened at National Park Saturday
afternoon with game between the Army
and Navy club and the team from the
Treasury Department. The attendance was
rather slight, probably owing to the I'M
settled state of the weather, but those who
journeyed to the park were treated to
unusually good game of amateur ball.
Although the result shows rather a diff
ference in the scores the game was full of
snappy playing, and if the Army and Navy
team had not made start Of four runs in
the first inning. it is doubtful if the result
would have been the same, for the treasury
lads pulled up wonderfully after the first
inning, and their pitcher, Mills, settled
down considerably.
Delan, the pitcher for the Army and Navy
boys held his opponents down very well,
and his team fielded behind him in excellent
style, making but one error.
Mills struck out six men, but four errors
prevented his holding the treasury lads
from making the necessary TALES.
Gibson for the Army and Navy carried off
the batting and Quinn the fielding honors.
Mills also did some good batting for the
Treasury team and Barrows made some
good catches both at second base and be-
hind the bat.
Dolan left the box in the sixth on account
of an injured hand and ellison took his
place. The change did not affect the bat
ting of the money changers, however, and
the score still continued to pile up for the
Army and Navy.
Mr.. Stearne umpired. and the only criti-
csm which might be made on his work is
that he does not move out of his position
behind the pitcher for any reason.
The score was:
Army and Navy o 0Ox-9
Treasury ..........0 10000 1O0-3
Batteries: Treasury, Mills and Farrell.
Barrows; Army and Navy, Dolan. ellison
and McManaway.
The Pension Office Drops Out.
The officers of the Departmental League
held a meeting last night to find out what
was done with the Pension Office team.
They had received word that Manager Cole
did not have sufficient number of men to
make a team to compete in the scheduled
series, and a delegation was appointed to
wait upon him to learn the facts in the
case. When he did not give them any
satisfaction, they promptly declared the
Pension Office team out of the league, there
championship honors. This necessitated a
change in the schedule.as the PensionOitice
team was to have PLAYED today, and so the
game will take place between the City Post
Office and the Post Office Department. To-
morrow the District Commissioners team
and that from the Government Printing
Office will try conclusions, and then the
revised schedule will go into effect. A good
game is anticipated on both days.

Date Fixed for the Cornell Column bin
Pennsylvania Race.
The arrangements for the tri-cornered
boat race between Columbia, Cornell and
Pennsylvania were again delayed yester-
day when the committee visited the course
on the Delaware, but a decision will be
definitely reached next Wednesday. 1t was
decided to row the race on June 81. Al
though prior agreement had been made to
row not later than June Is. the date Sc
lected met with the approval of all parties
concerned.
Chairman George @. Horwitz of the Penn
sylvania committee met Guy c. Richards of
Columbia and w. T. Hastings of Cornell.
and. accompanied by Capt. A. Bull and
George w. Woodruff. went to Torresdale
and inspected the course in steamer. In
spite of heavy wind, the course was
smooth and appeared to excellent advan-
tage-
Both Hastings and Richards expressed
satisfaction with 1t, but neither would vote
to run the race there, although Col. Nor
rell of the Mcrrellton Inn offered much bet
ter inducements than those of Poughkeep-
sic, on the Hudson course. They said they
would wait until Wednesday, to see If
Poughkeepsie would improve its bid.
Cornell and Pennsylvania agreed to row a
freshman race on June IA on Lake Cayuga,
and both crews are training hard.

money; though, upon due reflection, it seems likely that his engagement expenses may have grown lighter as his best girl advanced in years, thus permitting him to put aside little for the payment of the mortgage. For it is well known fact that after girl passes her seventieth year she cares little for candy or ice-cream and is contented with one sleigh-ride year. But for this falling of in the demands upon his purse it is probable that this worthy farmer would have remained an engaged bachelor to the end of his life of toll and self-denial. The moral of the case is that it is great saving of money to cut the engagement short.
 The average woman would incline to the opinion that the elderly bride of Crawford county, Penn, did not lose much in waiting for man who used up sixty years in lifting a mortgage, unless the mortgage was a dozen times bigger than the farm.

ONE WAY TO SAVE MONEY.

One of those interesting questions
 that bear a great amount of argument
 for and against, and which are never
 any nearer to a satisfactory solution
 is the question of the superior advant-
 age. of long or short engagement of
 marriage. In the discussion upon the
 subject the principal feature
 dwelt upon has been the chances
 for domestic happiness after the knot
 had been tied. Clarence, for instance,
 argues that long engagement is the
 proper thing as he will have an oppor-
 tunity to study extensively the ob-
 jcet of his affections; he doesn't pro-
 pose to buy a pig in a poke. On the
 other hand, James declares for short
 and merry betrothal. Emily is all right, he is as certain as that he lives
 and breathes; so why spend four or five years hunting for possible but inn probable flaws in her disposition and manners. Early marriage will bring out her bad qualities, if she has any, so have it over with as soon as possi- ble, and if Emily is not past reform convictions can be made more easily at 21 than at 31.
 One feature of this long or short en- gagement question which has not re- ceived it's share of attention is the mat ter of expense. A dispatch going the rounds of the press states that James Ewing, 85, and Margaret Christy, 80, of Crawford county, Penn, were mar ried the other day after an engagement of sixty years. It appears that at the time of their engagement they made a solmn VOW that they would not marry until they were well enough off to en- joy life. The aged bridegroom, after sixty years of toll and self-denial raised the mortgage on his farm on the day of the wedding, and he and his bride started out on life's journey with blithe hearts. Here is case in which the items of expense must have been considerable. It has been freely commented upon, but we have seen no such intelligent handling of the subject as that of the editor of the Rochester Union, who must have been through the engagement mill with both feet. A man writes best, usually, on a subject with which he is familiar. Says the York state newspaper man:
 Every man who has been engaged | to be married is able to testify that it | is very expensive. It costs more to carry on an engagement in a proper | manner than it does to keep house. It | is appalling to think of the amount of i money MT. Ewing must have spent for lemonade and candy, circus tickets, | church sociables, donation parties, sleighrides, Christmas presents, etc., during the sixty years of his engage ment to Miss Christy If he had mar ried the lady of his choice at once these items of expense would be un- necessary, but as an engaged man he had to spend money on his girl or lose her. MT. Ewing was placed in po- sition of great difficulty, and it is a wonder that he succeeded in extricat- ing himself at all, for no farmer can pay off a mortgage and sustain the en- gagged relation at the same time unless greatly favored by circumstances. It is suspected that his grandfather must have died recently and left him some

CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, I'LL. Sept. 24.-The railroad and
warehouse commission decision cancelng the Ii
censes of number of elevators, gave rise 10 some
uneasiness in speculative grain circles touching
the ability of the remaining warehouses to handle
the supplies at this place. AS the matter now to
be carried into court, where it is liable to drag for
year, or probably longer, the anxiety is decidedly
premature. Nevertheless, wheat derived some
benefit from this source early to-day as well as at
the close yesterday. The worlds shipments
1929 900 bushels, fell short of what they were
estimated yesterday further frmnes being credited
to that fact.
