RALEIGH'S BASEBALL TEAM.
This Year the City of Oaks to be Pre-
pared to Gross Bats With Leading
Southern Teams.

The game of baseball yesterday
shows clearly that Raleigh is again
coming to the front in this National
sport. Since the days of the Swift
Foots the athletes of Raleigh have not
been able to get the public interested
in having good representative base
ball team for Raleigh, but this year
it seems that the sport loving people
have undergone revival and once
more the City of Oaks is to have a nine
which can cross bats with any team
in the State. Mr.. Brenig, the captain,
is the right man in the right place and
every man has thorough confidence in
him.
Tie Raleigh public is called on to
aid this team financially that they may
obtain the necessary suits, balls, bats,
gloves, &C., which can be obtained at
a reasonable price. A representative
team which can uphold the name of the
city of Oaks will do great good for the
town and will be a source of a great
deal of enjoyment to many of the citi-
zens. There is not man in Raleigh
who will not aid this undertaking and
when called on he should gladly help
equip TIC tCalii' =.
The game yesterday afternoon be-
tween Raleigh and Pilot Cotton Mills
was one of the most hotly contested
games of the season. Capt. Brenig, OF
the Raleigh team, always looking to
the interest of the ball loving people
had strong team in the field, among
them being quite lad, Mr.. Murray
Aleln, who played very credltable
game at short-stop and Mr.. Ed. Grow,
who played left field. Mr.. Grow saved
the game for Raleigh when in the lat
ter half of the ninth inning with two
men on bases, score 6--5, he raked IN
a long fly off the fence.
Mr.. e. C. Owen umpired the game in
a most impartial manner giving uni
versal satisfaction.
The score was to in favor of Raj
eigh. Another game is expected for
Saturday next at which a number of
athletic loving people will be present.
Mr.. Albert Baumann, Raleighs
pitcher, struck out seven of the Pilot
men and pitched a great game. 100
much cannot be said in praise OF the
battery work of both teams.
Tt is the wish of all that we may
have more good ball.
There were no disputes, no kicks,
and the game was wholly free from
any thing except clean, gentlemanly
ball playing.

his own, or her youth. for she was SIX
years younger than himself. Neither
were his admonltlons always we'll
timed, and though kindly meant, they
sounded harshly to the ears accustomed
TO the language Of affectlonate ap-
Droval.
HE said should be sorry; Won
der what he meant?" was Susan's In
ward inquiry, many times during the
long afternoon, which seemed as though
1t would never end. At last, weary
with combating the troubled, self-re-
proachful thoughts, that she could not
altogether silence, she threw down her
work, and sinking back upon the wide,
easy lounge upon which she was sit
ting, fell asleep
Her dreams took the coloring Of Ler
thoughts. She thought she was upon
q vast, extended plain, red with blood,
and covered with heaps Of the slain.
The fierce clash of arms and the shock
Of battle had given place to the groans
Of the wounded and the dying. With
trembling steps she moved here and
there, seeking, yet dreading to find the
form that had not been absent one mo-
ment from her thoughts during all
these terrible hours Of suspense. At
last she found him, with stlffened
limbs, pale lip and ashy cheek, his blue,
slghtless eyes turned up to the murky
heavens.
"The forehead Of her upright one, and
just,
Tired by the hoof of battle to the dust"
The sharp cry of agony with which
she threw herself upon the dead body
OF her lover aroused her. She raised
up her head, and looked bewlldered up
on the familiar objects around her.
THANK God, 1t was only dream"
She said, with a sigh OF relief.
She went out upon the piazza to get
rid of the heaviness and lassitude that
oppressed her. The sun was down, but
the clouds upon the western horizon
were tinged with crimson and gold.
John had promised to walk out with
her in the cool of the evening. Had
he forgotten 1t? Or was he still angry
with her?
AS these questions passed through
her mind, she heard the outside gate

A Very Chic Woman.

A very chic woman looks her best
in white foulard silk covered with
queer little black scrolls. In this case
the vest is composed Of black moussel-
inc de sole over white satin. On the
mousseline are appliqued lace roses.
The sleeves have very small puff and
are ruched. This gown is so skilfully
arranged that it can also be worn with
a fichu of black mousseline de sole,
round which is seen knife pleating Of
mousseline, which, in turn, is edged
with a little Valenciennes lace. Fou-
lards are exceedingly fashionable, and
one having a white ground with blue
pattern upon it has lately been com
pleted by good woman. The bodice is
scanned in the center Of the back, and
drawn in narrow folds to the front,
where it is fastened with rosettes orna-
mented with diamond buttons. A loose
rever falls on either side of the bust
to reveal fichu and collar made Of
esprit net, outlined with grass lawn
embroidery frilled with lace.-Ex.

PERSIAN SOCIALISTS.
Imprisonment. Torture and Death ItSolf
Do Not AppAII Tho BaabL

Imprisonment, Torture and Death Atsclr
Do Not AppAlI tho BaabL
AS to the real tenets Of the baabls
opinions differ, says the Fortnightly
Review. They are socialists and UNI
doubtedly adopt the system of commu-
nifty Of property, while the orthodox
Perslans perslstently assert that they
practice pOlyandry, and the strange GER
emonies Of the Cheragh Karmush OBJ
served among the Yezeedis, or devil
worshipers of Karrlnd, district near
Kermanshah; be this as 1t may, 1t Is
quite certain that each Baabl looks
upon himself as an incarnation Of God
and reVerences the baab. 1. e., Sayud
Mahommed All, as the prophet of God
and the veritable incarnation Of the
Deity Himself. Unfortunately for the
secretaries of the baab, there is very
simple means of recognizing them. A
man being suspected Of baabism is re-
quested to curse the baab; II he he a
baabl he invariably refuses to do this,
though he knows full we'll that the re-
fusal will assuredly cost him his life.
Imprisonment, torture, death itself fail
to shake the steadfast believers in the
mission of the baab
The writer saw baabi led to prison
in 1880; the man was priest (mollah)
who had been denounced by his wife.
He was an old man and, though he was
Imprisoned and severely bastinadoed
and offered life il he would curse the
baab, yet he refused. When led to ex-
ecution and entreated to curse the baab
he replied
Curses on you, your prince (the zil-
es-sultan, then governor of Ispahan),
your king and all oppressors. l well
come death and long for it, for I shall
instantly reappear on this earth and
enjoy the delights of paradise"
When he ceased speaking the execu-
toner advanced and slew him.
