The Game Cocks Beaten.

The News and Courier makes the following
report of the game yesterday between the
Sumter and Charleston Base Ball team:
sample Of the worst kind of roofing was
given at the ball park Yesterday in the game
between the Sumter and Junior \. NJ. G. A.
base ball clubs. The Sumter people evidently
expected 10 win the game easily
and they went to the park with
gold and silver game cock figures and
with pepty of black and yellow ribbons.
Among The visitors was quite PARTY of
small boys, who were bent 90 seeing their
townsmen win the game The usual half
hurdred sturdy young yelpers for Charleston
were At the game, and they saw a chance TO
start something. They found The Sumter
youth willing for any kind of deal, and
before The game reached the sixth inning the
two parties were shaking fists at each other
aud daring one another to just come outside
for minute 1t took all the persuasive
powers of formidable looking policeman to
keep them apart The sarcastic remarks OF
the 7ourg hopefuls would fill volume.
The attendance at The game was not very
large, but it was one of the DoiSiesi CROWDS
eve. seen or heard in the park. The game
was very fair and both teams did good play
'ag il spots.
Brunson started TO pitch for the home team,
bu, his arm WAS sore and after throwing two
balls he gave it up and wen, behind the bat,
: hie Izard got into the box. No one regret
ted the change for both men played we'll IN
their new positions Up to the fifth inning
the Sumter boys played yer! nice game,
and Vi!lenerve, their crack pitcher, handled
himself fairly well against the heavy hitteTs
of the Juniors But after the fifth inning
they gave the home team real Dlce pud-
ding and the pitcher was pounded into dust
In the eighth inning regular cake walk was
INDUCED in and the Juniors piled up the runs
until they got weary Of the fun. By this
time there was no, much heart left in the
S.m,er roofing and there was no more CAN
ger of fight The game served to practice
the home team and loose" up the lungs OF
everybody. TIE Official score was Charleston

WHAT AND HOW TO EAT.

No man can lay down a rule of guild
ance for another mans stomach. Every
stomach is a law unto itself. There
are chronic d~yspeptics who digest pork
and beans better than any other food.
Much cold water should not be drunk
during or after a meal. It chills the
stomach and prevents proper digestion.
The process of digestion can only be
carried or at a temperature of about
SO.
Foods are divided by chemists and
physicians into three classes: ~
Those which supply energy and replace
exhausted tissue; (2) those which sup
ply only energy; (3) those which Only
repair wasted tissue.
While digestion is going on there
is a much greater flow of blood to the
stomach than usual. Some physioIo-
gists calculate that ten times as much
blood is required during digestion as
at any other time.
An unvitiated appetite is the best
guide in regard to what is safe to be
eaten. A wild animal never makes q
mistake in it's diet; domesticated ami
mails, in consequence of artificial feed
ing, may occasionally dc SO.

were hung over the sea outside the
ships rail, each barrel Immediately be.
gan to discharge a good-sized stream Of
oil into the water. As fast as a barrel
was emptied a full one was put in its
place.
Within an hour 40 barrels Of oil had
flowed into the sea. Then Mr.. jackson
called a halt. The deck and rail were
carefully mopped up and wiped with
cotton waste; the donkey engine gaze
pull on the anchor chain, and the VAL
eatine lay 20 fathoms ahead Of her for
mer position. Mr.. jackson saw a fresh
supply Of full barrels put in position.
ready to be used as the first had been.
Then the watch was set and all lights
which would show were doused. The
captain and mate took their places on
deck. The men had been instructed
what to do when the time came.
The stars gave just enough light to
show the sea. Its glimmering surface
near at hand had a strange look, for d
coating of oil several acres in extent was
spread over it on the port side of the
vessel. The oily space was widening
every minute, though very slowly, for
the set of the current was slight. An
hour later half a dozen more barrels of
oil gurgled their contents into the sea.
At midnight the same number were
again emptied over the ships side.
From the bridge Capt. James and his
senior officer closely scanned the sea in
the direction of the islands, but no sign
of a canoe was visible. The captain had
begun to think that, after all, his mate
