Old Timers Play Ball.

Over 1900 persons witnessed the game be-
tW cen old-time players at Rockford, Ill,
yesterday afternoon for the benefit of the
Harry Wright monument fund. A special
train from Chicago at noon brought a big
delegation, headed by A. G. Spalding, with
many of the Forest City Club in the party.
A parade over a mile long preceded the con-
test and was participated in by bands, mill
tia, cyclists. equestrians, old players, civic
societies and citizens. Two teams were
made up from the veterans, Spalding and
King being the battery on one side and
Fisher and Larue on the other. Only one
inning was played, In which the score was
4 to o in favor of Spaldings team, runs be-
ing made by Spalding, King. Barker and
Buckman. A terrific rain storm then came
up and stopped the game The receipts were
in the neighborhood Of 500. An elaborate
banquet was rendered the visitors last night.
Fund Games Poorly Patroni.ed.
In almost all of the cities where games
were played yesterday for the Harry
Wright memorial fund the attendance was
meager. Particularly Is this true of New
York. where a mere handful gathered to
do honor to the grandest figure in the na-
tional game. In Philadelphia $500 turned
out. 1t will be many days before all the
cities are heard from, but at the present 1t

AMERICAN BUTTER PURE.
ew York Journal of Commerce.

New York Journal of Commerce.
1t is a subject for cOngratulation and
some surprise that of sixty-one samples
of American butter officially tested in
England not one was adulterated. 1t
is a great compliment TO our dairy ex-
ports, and in view of the complaints
that the exports OF oleomargerine are
spelling the market for our dairy but
ter we may be little astonished at the
result which ought to be made known
in every country whittier we send dairy
goods.
We may also take little malicious
pleasure in the fact that Germany,
which has made so much trouble about
alleged adulteration of articles OF food
from this country, showed the largest
amount of adulteration, "a per cent. OF
the specimens from that country being
adulterated. Next in degree Of bad
ness came Holland,a country long noted
for it's dairy products, and even Den
mark, where so much has been done
in the last few years TO raise the stand
ard, and whose butter commands as
good price in England as the best do
nestle article, supplied several speci-
mems of imitation. or adulterated but
ter
If the United States farmers would
take the same pains and employ the
same scientific methods as the greater
part Of the Danes. the amount OF but
ter and cheese they could export would
be immensely increased, and the price
they got would be much better than at
present. In Tie meanwhile. we are
thankful that, if not the best that can
be made, American butter is so gen.
orally pure that the British officials
did not get hold of single adulterated
lot in sixtyone samples.

miles east of smaller scope, but 1t
produced effects not less marvellous
than those witnessed In the pain
through Sherman.
This Choctaw Bottom cloud came
from the southwest and Travelled north
east When it struck the house on the
smokestack forward on its course and
laid down one of the heaviest stills 125
yards back of where the house stood.
In the Walker pasture was stretch OF
the largest timber in this part OF Texas.
The cloud leveled road $50 yards.wide
and half mile long through the heart
OF that timber
Il have seen nothing" said Mr.. Wal
ker, which gives me the impression
OF the cyclones powers than the level
ing of those big trees does"
John Butler and his wife had one OF
the marvellous experiences in Choctaw
Bottom. Becoming alarmed as they
saw and heard the cloud, they left their
house and ran to a neighbors. The
peoples who lived at this second house
had fed to the fields. Duncan and his
wife had no time to go farther. AS the
house began to rock they dropped nat
on the floor, he on one side and she on
the other side Of the cook stove. The
house was carried away, and the wreck
age falling in the rear Of the cloud
piled on the stove and over them, so
that they were but slightly hurt. But
that is not the marvel. When Mr.. and
Mrs. Butler got down on that floor
there was a carpet on it. When they
were found the carpet was gone. Not
a vestige of it can be found.
The Choctaw Bottom farmers were
| wise in the day of cyclones. With few
| exceptions the families left the houses
on the approach Of the cloud, ran out in
the fields and lay fiat on the ground
among the fruit trees or in the corn
and cotton row burrows. They looked
backward and upward and saw strange
| sights as the cloud went by. Logue
| brothers had a double log stable with a
| team of mules in each end. The south
! end remained in place with the mules
| unhurt. The north end was cut of
and taken away. The mules there
were carried half mile to wire fence
| ground and saw the mules roll over and
over along with revolving mass Of
brush and timbers across the half mile
of open field One story of what the
cyclone did in Choctaw Bottom seems
to be too much for credence. 1t is sus-
tanned, however, by much testimony.
| A COW and a calf were seen going
through the air. If this was told by
only one witness it might be attribut-
ed to the effect OF the atmospheric dis
turbance upon the imagination. Every
family in Choctaw Bottom which took
refuge in the open fields claims to have
seen that COW and calf in the air. One
! of the Logue brothers, while clinging
to a stump to keep from going up him
self, saw the COW close enough to Judge
of her size. He says she weighed about
900 pounds, which would make her a
good average COW.
II will never again call man liar
who tells me any kind of cyclone
story" said the heretofore skeptical
hotel keeper of Sherman. w. B. S.

Sherman. Tex, May 27.-Its sharply
defined side limit was one of the strik-
ing characteristics of the Sherman cy-
clone. Capt. Berge's house of ten
rooms stood on the west side of High
street, along which the cyclone travelled
in Fairview Mrs. Berge that after
noon had gone with the rest of the
family to visit a married daughter, Mrs
Holt, living 25O feet east on cross
street. The Berge house was utterly
demolished. The house of the relative
was not moved None of the Berge
family was injured. While the Berge
house is gone, the Berge barn still
stands.
In several instances the edge of the
cyclones path ran between the resi-
dence and the barn on the same place
One building was swept clean; the
other was left standing. This happen
ed notably at the Dunn place in Fair
view. A new barn that cost 81 900 has
disappeared. The pretty cottage, 90
feet away from the barn lot, is in place.
Sticks and other wreckage. circling out
from the top of the cloud geyser and
escaping the full force, fell in slanting
direction TO the northward and punched
holes in the south front and roof Of the
Dunn cottage, smashing the windows
and creating a demoralized appearance
generally. But on the north side the
windows are whole and the front I'M
SCARED. The Mattirgly mansion. one
of the largest residences in Fairview,
seen from the south. appears to have
sustained a bombardment. The holes
made in the high slate roof by the fly
ing fragments are outlined to the vision
at half a miles distance Around on
the north side the Mattingly mansion
presents an appearance as fine as it did
the day before the storm. The Smith
place just beyond Mrs. Mattingly's,
was similarly punctured on the south
side and unframed on the north.
These houses are east of the path of
the cyclone and very close TO the edge.
The damages they sustained, as stated,
are on the south side Crossing the
path 10 the westward. the student of
cyclone effects finds that the houses
which were close TO that edge received
the slanting shower of sticks and other
things on their north side. In numer-
Gus places these flying fragments went
through the walls. leaving holes as
clean as a cannon ball would make At
the house, Just ont of the path, the
owner was lying on a bed in an upper
chamber when the roar aroused him.
He jumped up and ran down stairs.
| When he returned TO the room to sur
vey the damage. he saw that plank
had come through the side of the house
and had struck the bed where he had
been lying There were two or three
cases where the edge of the cyclone was
so sharply defined that it cut away a
corner and left the rest OF the building
shaken but in place. Frank Ryan's
residence had one side ripped Off Mrs.
Ryan and the babies sat inside unharm-
ed. The cyclone passed within touch
of them.

There is no evidence along the seven
teen miles it travelled that the Sherman
cyclone was a consolidation of smaller
furnel-shaped clouds. or that it divid-
ed and furnished offshoots with part of
its charge. About the same time, how
ever. that the Sherman cloud proper
was passing through Grayson county
there formed two or three other but
smaller clouds. The paths of these
we're parallel to, but narrower and
shorter. than the ore which left the

leading lights OF the order found
that their proclamation was innocu-
Gus, TO save them from derision it
was withdrawn, but to show their
virus they placed McKinley's name
at the bottom OF the list of what
they called eligible candidates.
The last assertion is, the Catho-
lies are arming and organizing, and
the Advertiser takes that as a hope
full sign. He is a strange American,
surely, who rubs his hands with glee,
at the thought of seeing his country
rent in twain by religious war. In
fancy he already feels the neck of
his hated opponent crunch beneath
his heel, but the issue of that con.
hict would be extremely doubtful.
The children of the Union soldiers
who fought upon the heights of
fredericksburg if called upon will
not hesitate in defending their reli-
gious and political freedom, at the
same time it may DO well to state
that the Catholics are not arming
or organizing, here or in the United
States, except for the defense of the
constitution of their country They
are calmly pursuing the even tenor
Of their way we'll knowing their
strength and feeling that they are
able, and successfully to meet the on
set of any combination or any emerg-
ency that may arise, knowing also
that honorable men of all creeds are
on their side.
A perusal of the A. p. A. oath
will convince anyone how utterly
impossible it is for man OF honor
to subscribe to it. 1t is an oath not
so much directed against the Catho-
lie Church, as it is against individual
Catholics; it is an oath of extermi-
nation against body of freemen.
Men followers OF Christi who, when
the nation was in peril gave their
lives as freely in defense Of its liber-
ties and integrity of its laws as any
follower of Knox or Wesley. Men
whose bravery on the battlefield
drew an eloquent eulogy from the
English correspondent Of the Eng
lish London Times.
The A. p. A. is a religious society,
whose ultimate aim is to destroy the
constitution, to dissolve the Union,
to introduce elements Of hatred into
the social, political and religious
life of the people, and to eventually
drive to starvation and death the
Catholic part of the population.
