tainly will not attempt to set In judg-

bearing upon the action OF Mr.. McFar-
Ian In violating the rule In reference to
forfeited games. His remedy was in
protest. That being made he could have
then left the grounds with something
tangible to base his claim on. But in
leaving he not only took his club. but
he also took his umpire. and that left
the matter wholly in the hands of Nc

soon as the league acts upon the matter,
and whichever way they see fit to de-
eide will be cheerfully received by The
Virginian. In reference to what Points
mouth can or cannot do Is matter for

Certain 1t Is, however, that the people or
Portsmouth should not be ATTACKED for
the actions of two ball players whose
only interest In either city Is the salary
they draw for services rendered.

Something New. This

il is said that the trimming OF ladies'
hat without charge has never been done
in this city, and the announcement nv
"Bassetts" that tomorrow they will
do this and that they will also for one
day sell any hat in their store at one
half the marked price. will doubtless
fill their store with buyers. Mr.. Bas-
sett wishes TO state unequivocally that
this offer holds good for one day only,
and also that when he says half price
he means Just that and nothing else.

Editor Virginian:
To say that ! was surprised to see in

score Portsmouth. 8; Norfolk. 0. would
nadequately express my motives. VIII
the learned baseball editor-Mr. Bland
| am told-shed little light upon the
subject and Inform the Norfolk lovers
of clean honest ball-playing under what
rule OF baseball Jurisprudence Norfolk
forfeited the game in question? That
the score should be reversed must be ap-
parent to the humblest rooter upon the
oleachers. l will pass over the instances
OF grand larceny perpetrated by the
Portsmouth umpire, to the main point in
issue-to-wit.: At what stage of the game
and by which team was the game for
feited? The answer is clear. BY Ports
mouth when Burke was recalled TO first
oase by Umpire Gilroy. and, acting under
instructions from mis- chief refused 10
obey. How could the game proceed
when a player insisted upon holding
base to which the base umpire, who was
the sole arb!ter in the case, had declared
MN not entitled? Did not the manager,
IN fact the whole team. aid and abet this
Hagrant act OF insubordination. and
thereby effectually block the progress of
tNe game? The merest tryro must see at
once that the game was forfeited by
portsmouth before Manager ,McFarlan
removed his men from the field We are
all agreed that the occurrence was q
most unfortunate one, but more unfor-
tuhate for the Portsmouth team than

For the first time this season the

night. The pretty music from the
band stand was eclipsed in the esti-
nation Of the crowds by the drills of
the Mckinley Flambeau club which
went through its evolutions in adj
mirable time and precision to the
music of five drums. The boys wore
new white duck suits and carried
tlambeau torches and their marching
and movements were remarkably ac-
curate and graceful, showing careful
efforts on the part of the members
and remarkable skill as a drill master

Fads in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and "new thing
frequently sells for short time
simply because it is new. But in
medicine, as in nothing else, the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has
stood its ground against all competi-
ton, and its sales have never wavered
but have remained steadily at the top,
demonstrates, beyond any doubt, the
intrinsic virtues Of this medicine.
The new things have come and gone
but Hoods Sarsaparlla rests upon
the solid foundation of absolute merit
and It's power to cure, and its sales
continue to be the largest in the
world.

The hall was crowded, fully 400 peo-
pie being present, Populists largely

tanned and the speakers received
every courtesy and abundant ap-
plause. Martin Price, a Republican,
presided and DR.. Littlefeld was
referee, trainer and second for
Braden while D. R. Gordon performed
the same kind offices for STAN.
Braden opened with 45 minutes,
Stambaugh followed with the same;
then each had a half hours close.
The currency was the topic Of dis
cussion and Mr.. Stambaugh more
than met his antagonist on every
point. Braden asserted that free
coinage would bring silver to $l.29
an ounce and Stambaugh quoted
Populist authorities to show that it
would not and that the Peoples Party
Is not for silver anyhow, as it wants
fiat money pure and simple. There
were many sharp tits and the audi
snce greatly enjoyed it. The meet
ng did the Republicans good and set
many Populists thinking.
