the Sponge In Five Innings.
The "bevy of beautiful bright
eyed Boston bloomer girls'-that's
what they were. according to the ad-
vertising material circuiated-were
great drawing cards yesterday after
noon at the ball park, where they
were booked to contest with q local
aggregation. Probably the park
never contained as large a crowd this
season. Some of the gentler sex
turned out to see their sisters WELD
the hickory. But, of course. the
men-a good sprinkling of antiquar-
ians with glossy tops-were in the
majority. The Bostonians' oppo.
nents were a picked nine of Daven-
porters, who experienced little diff
Guilty in vanquishing the maidens.
The beantown girls became fatigued
in the fifth inning and quit, the score
standing IL to IA in favor of the
Davenporters. There were no COM
plants against the brevity of the
game. 1t was a burlesque from be-
ginning to finish, so far as the women
were concerned, although three of
them did understand the game, and
played it with the knack of old
timers. The pitcher, a dark. broad,
chubby-faced woman of about 200
avoirdupois, delivered nice ones
with an occasional twist in them,
and she was we'll advanced in
the scientitic part of the game. She
was also good with the bat. The
first basewoman took in the hot ones
with the ease of a calloused- handed
old timer. The star of the aggrega-
tion was the golden-haired second
basewoman, who also captained the
club. Every time she came up to
the plate a safe hit and occasion
ally a S-bagger was the result.
As for the balance, excepting
the catcher, who was q man, thew
were good for nothing-too lazy to
move with any degree of sprightli-
ness-probably on account of ad-
vanced years. The short stop closed
her eyes when ball would come in
her direction, and the sphere would
sometimes be caught under her chin.
The third basewOman looked as if had
had carried water in the Revolution
airy war-hump-basked and wrinkled.
The fielders would wait until the
ball dropped and then search for it.
The game was a novelty anyway. but
the females were exceedingly disap-
pointing as beauties. They all have
seen better days-probably Is or 80
years ago. They were attired in
neat suits of light green with black
stripes and caps to match-good
suggestion for bicycle costume.

THE HEART IN OLD AGE,
A Misconception That Causes Humanity
Needless Anxiety.

Needless Anxiety.
A story told by DR.. a. ". Balfour in
his book ON 1.-THE Senile Heart" we'll
deserves the double purpose of marking
the practical process which scientific
medicine has achieved within the past
80 years and of administering Il much
needed word Of comfort and encourage
ment to those numerous workers who,
as age approaches, begin to feel uncom-
Portable about the regions of the heart.
Many years ago." said DR.. Balfour,
"a gentleman Of "a consulted me as to
severe fainting fits to which he was
liable. A distinguished consultant, since
dead, had told him that these attacks
were due to fatty degeneration Of the
heart and that treatment would be of
no avail The hearts impulse was i'm
perceptible, the sounds faint, but pure,
the arteries firm, but neither hard nor
tortuous. l told the patient that expert
ence had taught me that hearts supposed
to be fatty were often weak.
The result of treatment was steady
improvement in health and in force of
heart beat, and the patient lived to be
W and did not die of heart failure in
the end, but from senile asthenia. To
many people fatty heart is perfect
bugbear. But this is what DR.. Balfour
has to say about the diagnosis of the
disease: 1T is absolutely impossible to
diagnosticate fatty degeneration of the
heart
I'VE may surmise its existence, but
we can only be certain of its presence
when we see it post mortem. If many
middle aged and old men could but
have this written deep upon the tablets
OF their consciousness, what loads would
be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors
OF small experience roll out diagnosis
OF fatty heart with sonorous satisfac-
ton, unheeding that to many q treln-
bling father Of family it is like the
sound of deathknell On the question
OF treatment DR.. Balfour is equally de-
cided. I'VE are often told" he says,
that there is danger in treating a fatty |,
heart. Yet the result of treat
ment in the case recorded was cure,
proving that n heart supposed to be
fatty was only weak and that a life |
supposed to be over only wanted the |
FLIP of q few minims of digitalis to |
carry 1t on to almost the extreme of hu- |
man longevity" So, true is it, even in |
scientific medicine, that little expert
ence and common sense outweigh many
shiploads of mere abstract theorizinp.-I

During the first nine m onths OF this
year our imports OF dutiable goods were
s1l0, 468, 966 greater than during the cor
responding months OF 1894. The bulk
OF these goods was such as can be made
in our own factories. Instead, they were
made in foreign factories. Work, that
should have been done by American Ia
Dor, was done by foreign labor. Wages,
that should have been paid to Americans,
were paid to foreigners. Assuming that
only half the value OF these goods repre-
sents their labor cost, then American la
bor has lost upward OF s55, ,ooo, 900 In
nine months Of this year.

A "citizen and not a partisan" has q
very pretty sound, Mr.. MCCARTHY. But
you have too much good sense we are sure,
to believe that anyone can be good citi-
zen and not be q partisan. Public interest
and the active expression OF citizenship
impels partisanship of some kind. You
may decline to be a Repu 5lican, may
turn up your nose at the Democrats,
may shun the Pronibitionists, may have
no use for the Socialists, but il you are to
exercise the rights of citizenship you
must be partisan of some sort. Even
those OF you who are Identifying your
selves with the Kicking Lilies party are
proving to be the most aggressive, viru-
lent sort OF partisans in their chosen
cause.
