We must educate the people that political inde

military men, individual coal operator
and philanthropist in the state He was
the leading Republican politician of
Schuylkill county, and expected to enter
the political arena within the next two
weeks, as the senatorial nominee, after

said to be the best of any surviving old
soldier in the state. In the war of the re-
bellion he rose from lieutenant to general,
and for nearly a score of years was ia

Pennsylvania National Guards. The news
Of the death Of Gepenl J. X. Sigfried was a
great surprise to his legion of friends. He

Exciting Ball Game.

An exciting game Of base ball, which was
witnessed by crowd of several hundred
base ball enthusiasts, took place at the
Trotting park yesterday afternoon, between
the Cherry street nine and the Famous team,
both of town. The game was very closely
played and interesting throughout The
features Of the game were the remarkable
catches of Cooley and left fielder Carry, In
the last inning, with the Famous boys at the
bat the score was tied by Carry, who
knocked the ball into left field which would
have credited him with home run had not
the audience interfered with his base run
ming. The battery work of Murphy and
Waters for the Cherry street team was a fine
specimen of amateur ball tossing. Rovcrand
Cooley, who occupied the points for the
Famous team, were heartily applaudcd in the
second inning by retiring the side without
hit The game was played for purse of $40
and resulted in a victory for the Cherry
street nine which won by score of to 3.
Many Of the spectators present claim that the
game was equal to any state league games
ever played on the grounds. Umpire Mitchell
was very fair in his decisions.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 90 1885,

is easy to interpret into a decisive
laugh. When young mocking birds
have been caught, the parents will
come to the cage and feed them as if
still in the nest, but as they bring
many poke berries which can be safely
eaten in wild state but not in con-
finement, the nestlings, often die,
which has given rise to the idea that
when the parents find their young
cannot be liberated they feed them a
poisonous red berry to kill them. 1t
i. also said that mocking birds have
no song peculiarly their own but only
mimic others, which is also mistake,
though they are very successful imi-
tators and can be taught to whistle
airs. To the credit of our State, song
and insect eating birds are we'll pro.
tected by its laws, particularly the
mocking bird, fine OF five dollars be-
ing attached to catching or killing
them.
There is a warm place in every
Southern heart for the mocking bird,
we delight to hear his praises and
when his clear song bursts out in the
hush of the midnight hour, fondly be-
lieve not even the nightingale can
surrass him.
