Leans 81, Fats u.

On Morgan's field Thursday afternoon it
was demonstrated that lean men are supe-
rior to fat men physically, mentally and
morally. Of those who played Ware,
Blake, Conley, Cray, and Lane had
played ball before, and of course not very
much was expected of them. Conley and
Blake as battery for the leans did excellent
work. Wright began pitching for the fats
but got winded while the game was yei
young and was batted out OF the box
Ware and Lane did the rest OF the pHch-
ing but without much better success. In
ram who expected to give the leans close
shave was dismal failure. Marsh, Luce
and Gould played snappy game from the
first and were the favorites with the grand
stand. Matthews and Timothy were too
lean to play on the fat side, and conse-
quently got more credit than they deserved.
Peterson at second needed basket, while
Cook at third played a star game. Bros
nahan talked more than he played ball and
Lampher was unable to win much applause
because he wore his belt too high. Angler
was the man who told both sides Just what
ought to be done. Lane made home run
and Elliott knocked out a three Dagger:
they are now wearing hat size larger
than usual.
Even in the matter of umpires the fats
demonstrated their lack of endurance. c.
A. Moore began umpiring for their side
but got tired early, and was succeeded by
DR.. E. r. Campbell who with the aid of
some smelling salts stood the strain for an
inning and half. w. c. Belknap umpired
for the leans but gave some Of the rankest
decisions ever heard on a diamond.
We hoped to give a complete score Of
this famous game, but Egerton, the scorer,
took several maps while Ingram and Gould
were throwing to first base, and conse-
quently his record was incomplete and not
worth publishing. The players were, lean
men: Blake, Conley, Cray, Peterson,
Cook, Elliott, Brosnahar, Lampher and
Angler. Fat men: Wright, Ware, In
gram, Lane, Marsh. Luce, Matthews,
Timothy and Gould. 4

Col. A. A. Hall Of St. Adams III.
The Boston Globe Of yesterday had tn
following:

The Boston Globe of yesterday had the
following:
Col. A. A. Hall, prominent lawyer and
politician of st. Adams, is lying seriously i'll
at private sanitarium in New York. He has
been in an unconscious condition since last
Monday afternoon. The case is shrouded in
mystery. Col Hall left the sanitarium, where
his wife is undergoing course of treatment,
last Monday forenoon. and came down town
to arrange for the departure OF himself and
wife for their home III Vermont.
He returned in the afternoon in dazed
condition and with his clothes covered with
blood. Soon after his return he became I'M
conscious, and since then he has not even
been able to recognize his wife, who is a con-
slant attendant. A medical eNamina. ion re-
vealed the fact that Col. Hall had sustained a
severe scalp wound and an injury to the
spine.
.sIt is mystery to me how my husband
was injured, said Mrs. Hall. s.He came to
the city little over a week ago, and we were
preparing to return home when this misfor-
tune occurred. Last Monday morning he left
the house and went down town. He was in
his usual good health and spirits. At four
o'clock in the afternoon of the same day,
found him living on the bed in our room.

i made closer examination and found that
his undershirt was saturated with blood and
that there was great wound the back of
his head. The wound had been partly dressed
but blood still flowed from it. My husband

into Inconsistencies. DIR. Ewing and DIR.

Two Small Fires.

Thursday evening about z o'clock the
village was disturbed by fire alarm, but
as to which number had been rung in there
was no unanimity of opinion. The hose
companies found out that it was "a and
hustled to the sulphite mill under the hill.
The engine was seen driving pell nell up
Rockingham street and asking everybody
where the fire was.
The cause of the trouble was small

room. Two bales of paper caught fire,
but being under one of the sprinklers, the
fire was pretty much out before the fire.
men we're on the scene. Loss very small,
and cause unknown.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the
alarm was wrung in from 81. The old
shack owned by the F. M. P. Co., and
used for store house on Green street was
on fire. Quite deal of paper stock was
burned or damaged and one corner Of the
building destroyed. Loss estimated al
the way from $500 to $1,000; cause un.
known.
There is a general impression that oul
alarm system is in rather bad condition
and certainly the experience with these
two fires would seem to warrant the i'm
preston. When people cannot tell wheth
er an alarm sounds 81 or "a, and when the
hose companies go one way and the engine
another, there must be something out o
plumb. Where is the trouble gentlemeni

large rentals to pay. The writer in Gun
| toms thinks it is likely that the economic
principles on which the building associa-
tions are founded are destined to much
wider and more varied application Thew
could be, for example, just as effectively
applied to send American prOspectors to
the Rand mines of South Africa, to set
ND their individual members in business
anywhere. or to expand the plan of Mayor
Pingree of Detroit by establishing them
on small farms.
He points out that the vast deposits
now made in the savings banks, Amounting
to 81 III 1888 PAP in 1894. would, if they
were all invested in mutual loan associa-
lions. enormously increase the relative
power and productive capacity of the
working classes as compared with the
capitalists and speculative classes The
savings banks deposits are all substantial
! ly loaned to the rich, or to men who al
ready have command of large capital.
But if the same vast sum were invested
in mutual loan associations it would be
converted into potential or hypothetical,
500, coo, 900 in favor of their members,
each of whom would have borrowing
bower two and one half times greater
that the par of the shares he held.
The knowledge that one can obtain a
loan on practicable conditions is often
worth more than the loan itself, and this
knowledge belongs to the non borrowing
as well as the borrowing member. Such
chance, therefore, would vest in the
working classes borrowing power great
Ell than is now possesses by all the de-
positors in national, State and private
banks combined, and would virtually
relegate the leading power of those in
situations to a secondary relative position.
Such movement would accomplish So
cial transfer Of financial power not unlike
that which manhood suffrage effected in
the cognate realm of political power.
1t is worth noting that these co-opera
tive savings and loan banks have gained
most popularity in the large manufacture
ing States of the north and west. There
are ,O76 of them in Pennsylvania, 71S in
Ohio, 631 in Illinois, 429 in Indiana and
800 in New York. In the distinctively
farming States they are not yet numer-
GUS but they are multiplying rapidly, and
are evidently destined to play large part
in the social progress of the country.

THE LAW.

How difficult is the law. One who
knows the law must know how to choose
from its armories spear to pierce it's
own armor, or a shield proof against its
spears. The law is long, and hath no
end; it is uncertain unto dumbness; often
silent or ambiguous for the future, yet
demanding rigorous observance of the
past. 1t is subtle to include the craft of
the ages; sordid, fierce, and unjust, bound
by the precedents Of half-savage times,
yet holding latent within itself all the bet
torment of times to come. How difficult
is the law,
Strangely enough, the practice of the
legal profession is often illegal. | have
known two OF three lawyers who succeed
ed in freeing their clients and setting
them unboGnd in the primrose paths of
liberty while they htmselves were de-
tanned to walk the thorny paths of brib-
cry and subornaton.
As a class lawyers are unusually vain,
being in this respect as vain us men in
other professions, and approximating to
editors aud drummers.
