But Washingtons percentage on the
basis OF games played away from home is
really higher, the club played four
games before starting west, one in Bati-
more and three in Brooklyn, three of the
four being won. Thus the record of the
trip of the Senators should he scored nine
wins and nine losses, making a percentage
of 800 on foreign grounds. II, Capt
Joyce estimates, his team will get the third
game from Louisville and one from Chica-
go, the record for the west will stand
eight wins and ten losses, or IN per cent
and for the entire trip away from home
eleven wins and eleven losses. or 800 per
cent. 1t is safe to say that not for many
seasons has a Washington League team
made so good a record on foreign grounds
IN so extended tour. The fact should also
be taken into consideration that, barring
accidents during the next four or five days.
Capt. Joyce will bring his men back in
perfect condition, well seasoned for the
summers work. Mercer is just as good as
ever. his hurt finger having healed, while
Maui has apparently regained his form and
McJames is no longer to be counted as
certain loser. Germans work Sunday
proved that he is to be claSsed as good
pitching material, and If reports be true
Silver King has found his second youth
and Joyce has made a good stroke in sign
ing him.
Financially. the club has been more than
successful Large crowds have assembled
everywhere to see the reelected Senators
play their snappy game, ard the western
trip has not only not pulled down the
teams average, but it has helped to create
a comfortable surplus.

A PENSION VETO.
What the President Thought of the
af Re- r-ia N-iIl.xx-

Case of a Remarked Widow.
The President has vetoed the bill grant
ing a pension to Caroline ID. Mowatt, as
the widow of Alfred b. Soule.
The veto message recites the fact that
the beneficiary was pensioned originally at
SO month as the widow Of Alfred B.
died in 1864.
She forfeited this pension when in 1863
she married Henry T. Mowatt. Nine years
later, in 1873, Mowatt died. The President
continues:
Though twenty-seven years have passed
since the beneficiary ceased to be the W i'd
she has been the widow of Henry T. Now
att for eighteen years, it is proposed by
the bill under consideration again to place
her name upon the pension rolls as widow
Of Alfred b. Soule, late major of the
twenty-thir regiment Maine volunteers
which terminates the pension of a SOL
dier's widow upon her ramarriage will
not be questioned. / suppose no one would
suggest the renewal Of such pension during
the lifetime Of her second husband. Her
penSionable relation to the government as
the widow Of her deceased soldier hus-
band, under any reasonable pension theory,
absolutely terminates with her remarriage.
If size Is to be again pensioned because
her second husband does not survive her
the transaction has more the complexion
of an adjustment of a governmental in
surance oil the life of the second husband
than the allowance of a pension on iust
and reasonable grounds
Legislation of this description is sure
to establish precedent which it will be
difficult to diSclaim and which, If folloUe ed
cannot fail to lead to abuse"

THE EAST vs.. THE WEST.
Records Made by the Two League
Divisions on This Trip.

One more full series Of games remains IN
the schedule Of the first meeting of west
ern and eastern clubs in the west, and the
time is near at hand for comparisons to be
made as to the relative merits of the two
sections of the league When next Sun
days games have been played, each of the
eastern teams will have met each Of the
western organizations, and then it will be
fair to calculate the percentage. AS a
rule, the eastern clubs are regarded as
stronger, and the comment is freely heard
nowadays that when the western clubs
come east next week there will be several
long, steep toboggan slides encountered
causing some material changes in the
standing of clubs in the league race.
Including yesterdays games, the eastern
teams Jared as follows on the western dia-

Mrs. Della Andrew, formerly OF
Olympia, and Mr. f. y. Metzger, were
married at Everett, this week. Old
Q. c. /. students will remember the
bride as one OF their boon companions
when she was Miss Della Smith. She
was married in 1891 to Mr.. William
Andrew, captain Of the Olympia police
force, who died in 1893. Since leav-
ing Olympia, about two years ago, the
young widow has been living with her
mother at Everett.
A bundle OF clothing stolen a few
nights ago from Tom Prather's wood
shed, was found under one of the
windows OF the Carlton house, where
undoubtedly the thief had made an
Intellectual attempt at entrance, as the
lock on the sash had been turned by
thrusting the hand through a broken
pane Of glass over which sheet OF pa
per had been pasted. The enterprising
individual had doubtless been dis
turbcd in his work, for it seems to
have been abandoned very suddenly.
A six-year-old son of Mr.. McPher-
son, of Eastsidc, met with q peculiar
accident Tuesday afternoon. 1t seems
that he and a companion were playing
on opposite sides of plank fence,
when the latter showed button-hook
through Il crack in the planking catch
ing the cyelid of the Mcpherson boy.
He threw his head back tearing the
eyelid from his face, and causing an
exceedingly painful wound. DIR. Riley
was called in to relieve the sufferer,
and made him comfortable as possible
under the circumstances.
The proposition made to the County
Commissioners some time ago by the

amount of $4,000, has been with.
drawn, hence no action by the Com
missioners at the meeting called for
the purpose of considering said propo
sition, on Wednesday last, was neces-
sary. Mr.. Moody, an attorney repre-
senting Morris & Co., of Portland, was
present at the meeting on Wednesday,
and submitted proposition which
contemplates the issuance of bonds to
cover the entire warrant Indebtedness
Of the county. This proposition will
be acted upon by the board on Wednes-
day next. There is but little if any
doubt that the proposition will be de-
clined.

at Olympia Theater are an exceedingly
clever combination OF dramatic peo-
pie, with Miss ODER as the leading
lady and Hugh Ettinger the principal
gentleman of cast. They opened
Wednesday night with "a Race for
Congress" which afforded but small
opportunity for display of the capa-
bilities of the company. "Not
Guilty." last evening was much better
and was thoroughly appreciated by
the audience notwithstanding, through
a defect in the heating apparatus, the
auditorium was quite chilly, and this
detracted considerably from the en-
joyment of the people. Tonight Du-
Maurrer's great conception "Trilby"
will be presented, with Miss ODER as
the impossible subject of Svengali.
A matinee will be given at 2 Pm.
Saturday for families and children,
and the last performance takes place
Saturday night. At the prices which
prevail for this engagement nobody
can complain of inability to crafty
a reasonable desire for amusement,
which is as essential to the well-being of
rational creatures as food and raiment.
The old adage about Cali work and
no play" finds direct application to
those who scrimp in supplying recrea-

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-Near Ash
ford post-otfice, in Pierce county, on a
farm ust across the line in Lewis, a
horrible tragedy was enacted, last Fri
day afternoon. Mrs. A. r. Swenger,
the wife of rancher, cut the Threats
of her three children and then at
tempted self-destruction by the same
weapon, a razor. The two elder child
rem, aged five and three, were killed,
but the babe, nine months old and the
mother, will probably recover. The
farm is fifty miles from railroad con-
nection, and as there is no doctor near,
the only treatment the survivors have
received have been the unskilled SER
vices of neighbors. The husband had
been absent from the dwelling less
than an hour when the fearful drama
was enacted and upon his return he
found his whole family lying on the
floor weltering in gore. The mothers
constant moan has been "Why did /
do it?" but she still regrets that her
efforts so far as regards herself was not
successful.

have closed their Office after having
made their final report.
The total cash expenses of this
committee throughout the entire CAM
paign amounted to $2,992.80, and
after paying all debts there was still
left in the hands of the committee the
sum of $21.6S!
The entire amount expended for
public speakers fell within ST. 900, and
the complete expense of the committee
itself fell within SIS.
For a State Committee, having in
charge the State campaign of a
victorious party, this financial report
will take the first premium. In fact,
there never was anything like it before
in the world.
We wonder what Mark Hanna would
say if he knew that the State of Wash
ington was carried for Bryan on an
expenditure of $4,000? If reports be
true, Mark put ten times that amount
into the hands of the Republican State
Committee, and lost the State into the
bargain.
But, then, one must remember that
work done in behalf of principle bears
fruit a mighty sight faster than work
done in behalf of something which
must be bought and sold like cattle
