part in the exercises. Music was furnish

as could lie present. and the congrega-
ton joined in the hymns The order
of service of the Methodist Episcopal
church" was followed.
The sermon was by Rev. c. S. Cum
mings pastor of the church. The text
was from Psalm 33:5, The Earth is
full of the goodness of the Lord The
speaker said that many would have to
look beyond the little circle of their
own individual lives to find occasion
for joy, such were the losses and
blighted hopes of the past year. If
we made the text window in the cell
of life through which we looked afar
we all could find abundant reasons for
speaking of the physical, intellectual.
and moral nature of man as a revela-
tion of the being and nature of God.
he spoke of the forethought of the
Creator in anticipating the wants of
man and in filling the earth with rich
supplies for His children long before
human life was created. He spoke of
the adoption of the forces of nature

weakness and making him Il king He

The polo lovers of Augusta were

victory went where it belonged. The
evening game was equally well fought,
If there was less depending upon it,,
being an exhibition game, and the
crowd were all worked up over it, as
was signified by prolonged cheers,
and various like methods of applause.
Among those present. during the
two games We're some who Kissed.
Why they hissed is not generally
known. And observation showed that
for the most part the kissing came from
certain unsolicited specimens who GER

OF being known as fair, a big broad
word where sport is concerned. If
these certain specimens will be so

stated without the least eXaggeration.

ladies, who are all looking for what
it seems they are in good way to get,
clean, well-fOught contests.
In the afternoon game there was
some feeling evident which like war
is nothing more than "a little misun-
derstanding," as Carlyle has it. Then,
it is not so unnatural that men, play
ing their best for certain object, and
encounterng some one doing their
best to stop them, should get a trifle
excited. All this will take care of it

Pickett, goal for Augusta, put in
some mighty plucky work, and was
cheered again and again for his
phenomenal stops. In the second game
he showed that he was tired, from too
much exertion, after his recent illness.
If he keeps up the pace he has started,
he will own Augusta, all right, as peo-
pie like his style.
Broadbent's big feet and leg guards
puffed out to the size of the average
holsters, were very distressing obstacle

making stops too numerous to mention.
If the ball comes high, he lifts one of
those legs of his with the ease of an
ostrich, and wall of disappointment
runs through the Augusta supporters.
The Lewistons are a rather light lot
of men. but they play good polo. Their
passing, in the second game especially,
was of the best, and c. Broadbent did
everlastingly paste away at poor Flick

Phillips also did some good work, and
made a number of goals on sharp
strokes that won much applause.

COMMENTS on the TIckEE.
Local Sentiments Coneerning the Nomina.
tons Made at Indiana polls.

Democrats who are not willing to
turn their backs upon their party's
record for sound money will be able to
stand by their colors in the support
of the ticket nominated at Indian
spolis, Thursday. The nominations
are satisfactory to the members OF the
Democratic Honest-Money League of
Delaware, which organization has be-
gun an active participation in the cam
paign.
Thomas f. Bayard, Jr., was asked
Friday for his opinion concerning the
Indianapolis platform and candidates.
He said:
81 heartily approve of both platform
and nominees and think that the dec.
larations set forth 10 the platform are
the principles of the Democratic party,
the party Of Jefferson and jackson.
The party lines of the past are again
laid down and in manly and straight
forward way declare for honest money
and honest government; and with such
platform and nominees, the Demo
Gratis who are Democrats because of
principle and not because of party, have
now afforded them the opportunity to
| cast their ballots according to the die
tates of their consciences. AL of those
who have heretofore felt bound by
party affiliation to vote for the Chicago
platform and candidates, and VINO
would have done SO rather than vote for
| Mckinley. will now have the oppor-
tunity OF expressing their true senti-
ments. To my mind this is not a third
party movement, but ii is the declara.

| Gratis of this country, that the princi-
| pies enunciated in the Chicago plat
form are not the principles heretofore
held BY the Democratic party. =

Republican, had the following good
words to say . am pleased that they

SOUND MONEY AND RAILWAY MEN.

New York Times.
The account exclusively published In
yesterdays Times of the organization of
the railway men of the country for sound
money relates one Of the most interesting
movements Of the campaign. That the
editor of the Chicago Railway Age took
up this movement of his own initiative
and carried il TO an assured success is a
performance Of which he may be well
proud, and to the credit of which his jour
nal is amply entitled. The Republican
committee has not tnken up the work, but
il is evident that no political committee
could have been so effective in starting
it as railway man appealing to railway
men ON the ground OF their special interest
as men and their general interest as citi-
zens. In fact, no political committee could
have achieved an bipartisan organiza-
ton, and enlisted men from both political
parties. Mr.. Robinson has succeeded in
doing this, and he has been enabled to do
it both by his own position outside of poll
tics and by putting his clubs outside of
politics. and wisely laying it down that no
other question but the prevention Of free
coinage should be discussed at their meet
ings.
In this way it has come about that about
one-third Of the 100000 members of the
clubs are Democrats, or, rather. have been
Democrats. and viii he Democrats again
when they are enabled TO divide once more
upon normal political lines" In the mean
time, they are, like the rest of us. neither
Republicans nor Democrats. but simply
sound-money men.
The railway men have a special inter
est in addition TO the general interest of
wage workers. 1t may be proved TO the
wage worker in other callings that when
an inflation of currency begins and prices
are raised he is the only person who can
not mark up his goods" CORRESPONDENTS.
but that his prices rise last and rise least.
