The Second Game.

The second game was by no means such
a walk-over as the first Washington man.
aged to win. but by the narrow margin of
one run. The game was not marked by
any exceptionally brilliant plays. but there
were several palpable errors that should
not have occurred. McJames and Frazer
were the pitchers. while Mcclure and Dex-
ter did the back-stopping. In the fourth
inning Setback was struck on the arm by a
pitched ball and retired from the game
Lush going to left field and Abbey to right
A line drive from Clark's bat in the eighth
struck McJames just above the knee. and
he lay PROSTATE for several minutes, but
pluckily continued to play The hits were
evenly distributed. both pitchers being on
par.
Louisville scored run in the first inning.
Clark reaching first on balls and tdllying
on Rogers two-bagger to center. Another
occurred in the fourth on hit by Clark an
error by De Montreville and hit by Pick
ering.
Washington in the fourth scored three,
Setback and Smith being hit by the bali
and MCGUIRE and OBrien singing. An
other was chalked up in the fifth on De
Montrevtlles single, f1y-out and hit by
MCGUIRE. This placed the home club two
runs to the good, but Louisville tied the
score in the sixth. McCreary led off with
two-bagger and went to third on Clark S

bases and McCreary crossed the plate. Jim
my also scored when Cartwright's error
allowed Pickering to reach first.
The locals forged to the front again In
the seventh. Lush. the first batter hit
safely for one base and proceeded to third
when Frazer made a wild pitch. De Mon

Mcguire sent the ball to the center of the
diamond. That was all for Washington
Louisville pulled dangerously near in the
eighth, their total being raised to five on

With Pills.
From the Gentleman's M.paz,ns

An extraordinary duel, which at tho
time created an immense sensation. WINS
one In which the decision was arrived Mt
not by swords or pistols. but by means Of
a deadly poison. The men-who. It 4.
hardly necessary to say, had fallen out
over lady-had left the arrangement Of
details to their seconds. and until they
faced each other they did not know BY
what method they were to settle their dif-
ferences. One Of the seconds was a doc
tor. and he had made up for the occasion
four black pellets, all Identical in size and
shape; In one Of these" he said. II have
placed sufficient quantity of prussic acid
to cause the almost instantaneous death
OF any one who swallows it. We will de-
eide by the toss of a coin which of YOU ia
to have first choice and you win altern-
ately draw and swallow q pill until the
lets were then taken as the toss had de-
cided. but without effect in either Ease.
This time" said the doctor, speaking Of
the two pellets remaining. you must both tn
swallow the pill at the same instant" The
onds one OF the men lay dead on the grass.

The conditions prevailing in the loca,

prices in the mediate future. Nevertheless
the tone of the market indicates an upward

fairly plentiful, prices being those expected

BAROMETRICAL DIFFERENCES.
Near the Parallel, Five Degrees
North, the Pressure is Uniform.

The barometer is least variable in the
calm belts, whether Of the equator or
tropics or the poles. Admiral Fitzroy,
from a large number of barometrical
observations made at sea, has discov-
cred that near the parallel of degrees
north in the Atlantic Ocean the pressure
of the atmosphere is so uniform as to
afford a natural standard by which
navigators out there at sea may, as
they pass to and fro, compare their
barometers, and Prof. Schouw has con-
structed barometrical curve between
parallels 33 degrees south and 1880 de-
grees north, which establishes similar
fact with regard to the land. So steady
and invariable is the pressure that after
allowing for the sx-hourly fluctuations
to which in all parts Of the world the
barometer Is subject the mariner may
detect any error in his barometer
amounting to the two or three thou
sandth part Of an inch. The difference
between the mean height of the equa-
torial calm belt and that in the tropic
of Cancer Is only 0.25 inches, and this
difference is permanent.

hooked was silver hake.
A French priest. Father Martin. ad-
vances an extraordinary theory about
lola in religious review. He thinks
that the directing principle of Zola's
life is his love of animals. He shows a
monstrous and even sacrilegious SYM
pathy for cats and dogs. They are, he
feels, his kindred. This accounts for
his dwelling, as he does, on the lowest
instincts of man. He can see the beast
in him, but not the angel.
It is a singular coincidence that in
less than forty-eight hours the death
of the great German pencil manufact-
urer, Baron Won Faber, should have
been followed by that Of the equally
renowned Austrian manufacturer
Franz Won Hardtmuth, who died in
Budweis (Bohemia) last week in his
65th year. He was a grandson of the
founder of the firm, the chief architect
Of the then Prince of Liechtenstein
who in 1904 took out the first Austrian
patent for the manufacture of pencils

CHINESE INTERpRErERs.
Only a Very Few I'm This Country
who Can Speak the Language.

While there are now quite number of
white men in San Francisco who are
able to converse in the Chinese Ian
guage with the Chinese merchants, 1t is
singular fact that there are only three
or four who are able to act as court
interpreters. The Chinese language has
been spoken in San Francisco nearly
half a century, and during two score
years the local Chinese population has
numbered thousands continuously. These
conditions would naturally suggest that
there would be scores of Chinese inter-
prefers competent to go into court, but
such is not the fact. Mr.. Willard, who
has been an interpreter many years,
says that part of this Is due to the fact
that the Sam Yups and See Yups en-
ploy totally different words to express
the same idea or to describe the same
object. For instance, one branch Of the
Chinese-speaking people here call an
association bong" while the other
branch call ii a tong" The technical
names are very hard to acquire in both
the Sam Yup and See Yup dialects, es-
pecially names of medicines and drugs
names and varieties of fabrics of diff
fering kinds. Many persons have tried
to become interpreters, but few white
persons have kept on. Mr.. Millard pick
ed I'D the two dialects himself without
the aid of rules of construction, which
are now better understood by white per-
sons interested in philology than they
were formerly
