NEW CASTLE NEWS
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN.

New CASTLE, Sept. "a.
t"It is strange" said one of our young
men last evening, "That the New Castle
young men were given the cold shoulder
on Monday evening when a hack party
came here from Rising Sun. We don't
mind young people coming here at any
time but VIC are going to play Mckinley
and protect our girls. Ii the New Castle
girls were invited it was unfair to slight
the young men. Perhaps the New Castle
girls will sec that they should have de-
clined the invitation when their regular
escorts were not numbered among the
chosen Ones"

All grain should be cut before beco1n.

ly green, with only little turned yell
low, all tho nourishment that tho plant
will get from the root Is thon in the

out the grain. This is especially true Of
tho barley crop. We have seen q differ
ence Of two or three pounds weight per
bushel made between barley cut carly
and that which waited until dead ripe.
1t is very difficult to make the six rowed
barley hold ont to standard weight ex-
cept when cut while green. Late cut
barley is also much moro likely to be

while bss,,,sy that was cut while green
took rspsa.y any stain if the rain fell
soon after cutting and before 1t had

is reckoncd best to leave it until II ia
fully ripe is for seed That is because
grain cut green is usually put into NOW

-
The baseball season just about to close
has been one OF the most prosperous In the
history Of professional baseball. All tho
clubs have made money. Most Of them
have paid handsomely, and some have
made "big money"
The attendance in Baltimore has been
large, but to some extent has not come up
to expectations, especially during tho last
month of the season. This, was Of course, due
to the ease with which the champions won
the pennnnt which robbed the closing
games of Interest Baltimore, being one
Of the few cities where the price of general
admission is 25 cents instead Of 90 cents,
the profits have not been nearly so large as
in some other League cities. Though the
attendance here has been above the aver
ago in numbers, it has been below the
average in amount Of money received there
from.
For city of Baltimore's sizc however,
with no populous suburbs like Now York,
Boston, Pittsburg Chicago and Cincin-
natl, the attendance here has been very
large. Almost a quarter of a million peo.
pie have passed the turnstiles at Union
Park since the season began. The exact
number, according to tho official reports,
was 249, 49,
This Is nearly half as many as the entire
population of the city, and is about double
the voting population. 1t is an average Of
1925 for every day that baseball has been
played at Union Park. 1t Is not the aver.
age per game, for two, and once, three
games were played in one day.
The total attendance for all the cities, as
given out by the clubs, foots up to the tire.
mendous total of over two and one half
million admissions, or nearly five times
the total population of Baltimore, and
many more than the total population Of
Maryland.
The exact figures, as taken from the
daily press reports, are, 2,529, i2l.
This would make an average attendance
in zach city of 2lo,7S8. AS stated above,
Baltimore's total attendance was 24D, i49.
AT an average OF sixty playing days
season in every city, the average atten-
dance per day In all the League cities
would be 35l3. As stated before Balti-
more's daily average was 4,a2e.
1t Is well known that att endancc figures
are pndded 90 considerable extent in
most League cities, especially in several
Western cities, but the figures seem aston.
ishngly large, even with all duo allow.
aucc for cXnggerntlons.
Baltimore during the earlier part Of the
season than toward the close and drew
much larger crowds away from homo than
at home.
The first twenty four days playing at
home drew nearly llS,0OO persons while
the last twcnty-four days playing, in
which there were more games played and
which included Labor Day, drew out o.

Sherman Answers His Critics.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2t-A local paper
publishes a signed article from Senator
John Sherman, dated at Mansfield, in
which he replies to Mr.. Bryan and others
who refer to the "crlme Of '73" Senator
Sherman says that many pages of The
Congressional Record show indisputabe
proofs that the clause in the act of 1873
stopping tho coinage of the silver dollar
was not surreptitiously and clandestinely
passed through congress. The senator re-
views the history Of that legislation show
ing that there was an unusually long agi-
tation, not only in both branches of con-
gress, but also In the committees of both
houses and in the treasury department
before the bill was prepared.
