BASEBALL

The race 10 the National league at the
present time between the three leading
teams is one that makes the hearts Of
the fans" bound with delight and
makes them yearn for the good did base
ball days when they all had q chance to
60 out aud howl for our boys. At the
present time the race is between Balti-
more. Cincinnati and Cleveland, and it
looks now ss il Baltimore would carry
OF the pennant for the third successive
year and IL they do they are entitled to
il ~ they have played good, clean ball
from the beginning OF the season. Gin
cinnati, though. has good chance Of
winning the desired prize. and Cleve-
land, too, but everything points to Bal
timoie ~ the lucky team, with Cincin-
natl and Cleveland following in the
order named. Cincinnati has been
playing in rather hard luck Of late and
Baltimore has taken the lead from them
and with about thirty five gamer to be
played on THEN home grounds nothing
but miracle can head them of. Here's
for Cincinnati for first place il possible
and "if' they can't get that. Baltimore

following.

ability to hold his own. And yet he
cannot be considered world heater.
Boston is surely but steadily drop
ping. With second haseman Lowe on
the hospital list and practically but one
pitcher. the hopes OF Boston being in
the race at all are not very bright.
II Cincinnati wins the pennant il will
be q popular victory, as il seems every

to win, and as q second choice has taken
up the Porkopolitsn aggregation to fin-
ish 10 first place.

DUSTY" Miller is the man who first
put the Cincinnati team on the road TO
success. He played such fast ball that
he fairly carried the rest along with
him. When Irwin was added to Miller
the speedy combination wac made just
right. So much for what one man
can do.
Cy Young and Malarky each hold the
pitching record OF the year. as each has
held an opposing team down to one hit,
Young performing the feat against
Philadelphia and Malarky OF Richmond
against Norfolk. Young's feat il the
better, however, as the hit made of him
was q single, while that OF Malarky was
q double.
While all the world has been taught
to look with horror on Pat Tebeau, few
men can point to an instance where he
ever used anything more violent than

There are no players in hospitals suffer

WEIGHING THE MAILS.
Tho Work Done by the Post Office
Department Last Month.

Every four years the government
orders weighing of the mails on all tho
mail trains Of tho United States, for
tho purpose Of ascerbaining what sum
Is due the various railroads Of the
country for transporting the muils, us
the compensation Is fixed by the num-
Der CT pounds carried over each road.
1t is impracticnble to weigh tho mails
ovcry day, which would be the proper
method OF course, as it is u very big
job and requires extra assistance on
every posta, car, SO that the expense
would be enormous, but the govern
ment undertakes to make a close ap-
Proclamation upon which definite
conclusion Is reached. The whole
country is laid of into four divisions,
and the weighing Of the mails is
carried on succcssively in each divi-
sion: This yoar tho fourth division
has been tho sphere of operations, and
Tor the past month tho weighing pro-
cess has been going on in tho States of
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alaoama, Mississippi and II small por-
| u on OF Louisiana. The plan of the
government is to weigh tho mails OF
each train for not less than thirty sue
cessivo working days, by which a
general average is secured, and from
this average the volume of business
for the next four years Is determined
The government takes its chances for
u reduction in tho volume OF business,
but the probabilities are all in its favor,
as the postal business is constantly on
the increase in this country.
The time designated for tho weigh
ing Of the mails in this territory ex-
pired on the 30th Of March, which in.
cluded thirty working days and five
Sundays. The railroads transporting
the mails on Sundays get an advantage
in the general average, as the daily
amount is ascertained by dividing the
grand total into thirty parts, which
increases the average Of those doing
Sunday work. Five hundred clerks
and one hundred and fifty weighcr.
have been employed since The Goth o
February in collating the facts upol
which to base calculation to fix the
pay in this division, and several week:
will be- required to tabulate tho figure.
before it will be known how mucl
each railroad will receive from tn,
government as compensation for haul
ing the mails for the next four years
The total cost to the government il
this division will not be less than So,
800, 900, which will be distributed eacl
year Eamong the railroads, and thu
help to maintain and improve ou
transportation facilities.

was a witness Of my crime.
IL need not dwell on the horrible
anxiety which filed mo all the next
day. Every messenger who came to
us from tho city branch seemed to
me to be sent with tidings Of my crime

that the morrow would bring the rev.

Week followed week, but still no

On the contrary. MIR. Smith develop

ed me to be his confidential secretary.
The fear OF discovery gradually died

that l was, and alone could be, the

and absolute ruin.

alone one dark afternoon in the private
office Investigating some transactions
OF Sillcry's with which Mr.. Smith was
dissatisfied. The lights were burning,
and everything was just as on the
night of terror. | heard Il slight noise
at the window Looking up, l saw

that night. | gazcd at them startled
and scared. AS did SO it struck me
that they were not human eyes.

THE NEW BOARD OF CONTROL
The Dispcnsary Law is Put Into
Operation Under the Changed Aus
pices.

The new and amended dispensary
law went into operation on the lst OF
April, and the Columbia Register
tells of tho threatened complications
which were happily ended after all
1t is not ofton nowadays that the
office socks the man, and especially is
this assertion true Of Offices in South
Carolina, whore the Office generally
goes to the man who seeks it most per-
sistently and vigorously. An election
at the last session Of the General AS
sembly furnishes an exception to this
rule in South Carolina. When the
Legislature elected board OF control
under the now dispensary law, there
were O. number Of candidates for posi-.
tions of that board, but q majority OF
it's members were elected without any
effort on their part, and one, Mr.. w.
A. Nicholson, OF Union, was elected
without his having been asked II he
would consent to serve. Several days
ago it was rumored around Columbia
that Mr.. Nicholson, on account OF the
pressure OF his banking business and
Tor other reasons, was averse to ac-
cepting his election and serving on the
board. Had he refusse ed to serve, mat
ters would have been much complicat-
cd and it was oven feared that the law
itself would have boon invalidated, rs
1t provides that the entire board shall
mcet and organize and take charge OF
tho dispensary business. OF course Il!
one OF the members refused to serve,
it would be a. physical impossibility
| for the entire board to meet and COM
Dly with tho provisions of the new dis
! pensary act. Nor could Governor
| Evans nave filled the vacancy by ap-
| polntmcnt, for the act docs not give
| tho Governor power to fill vacancies
arising on the board from any cause
whatever. Uuder the constitution he
has general powers OF appointment in
| certain cases, but vacancy on the
| board Of control could not by any pos
sibility be regarded as ono OF those
cases. In this emergency Governor
tions with Mr.. Nicholson and went to
Union to confer with him. Mr.. Nichol-
son is an exceedingly patriotic man,
who always considers tho good OF the
State In preference to his own private
| comfort, and when the Governor OK.
planned to him what would be the
effect and possible dpngcr of his de-
clinatiOn to serve, he promptly agreed
that, no matter how indispo,ed to
serve, nor how much he would be in
convened by serving, he would accept
| the place Tor tne present. This patri-
otto decision by Mr.. Nicholson re-
moves oil danger to the now dispsn-
sary law and it will go into effect with
out any hitch.
There was q rumOr to the elect that
Mr.. r.. NJ. Allen, Of York County, who
was elected much in the same manner
as was Mr.. Nicholson, was also in
clined to decline TO t.Dt his cle ,tion.

that the business of the concern has been rapidly
