Hardware Store BurgIarlzed.

Some time last night burglars
entered the large hardware store
of Stevens, Kennerly & Spra-
gins and carried off about $50
worth of pocket cutlery and
pistols. They made the en-
entrance by cutting out a panel
of the back door and crawling
through. The police think they
have the burglar or burglars
spotted and will probably appre-
hend them.-Gainesville Regis

ORATORY AND LOGIC.
Prominent chOetsw CItizens Address
Their People on Political Matters
FavOrIna Allotment Of Lands.

Quite a large crowd attended
the Green McCurtan picnic at
Jeff-Lee Camp yesterday. At
, o'clock Mr.. McCurtain adj
dressed the Choctaws in their
native tongue.
In a well chosen speech of
about two hours he told them
how he wished for the country
to remain in its present cOndi-
ton and that he opposed the al
lotment of the lands until he
saw that further opposition was
not only useless but positively
detrimental to the interest of
his tribe, and now that allot-
ment seems inevitable it only
remains for them TO make the
best arrangements possible
whereby each citizen would get
his full pro-rota of what he was
entitled to. His Grafton was
we'll rendered and claimed un-
divided attention of the Choc-
taw speaking people to the end.
He was followed by Hon. y.
B. AinswoTth of McAlster who
in a brief talk explained how he
had been convinced that the
best thing to be done was to
treat with the United States as
it was already evident that the
( United States had disregarded
the treaty of 1885 and that state
hood would be forced upon us
whether we wanted it or not.
He said furthermore that
when a Nation became unable
to enforce its own laws and reg
ulations, that it was time we al
/ lied with a Nation that could.
The speech of Mr.. Ainsworth
was interpreted into Choctaw
by Judge Durant who occupied
the platform with him.
After Mr.. Ainsworth had con.
cluded Judge Durant of Grant,
Kimita county continued To all
dress the People. He called the
attention of the colored citizens
to the fact that each and every
one of them was entitled To for,
lty acres of land and that it was
the purpose of the present al.
ministration if elected to Sc,
that they get it.
The orators were frequently
interrupted by applauses 10y
the whites present, but the In
dian, whether he appreciated
it or not, preserved that stolidi
ty of cOuntenance which tells
no tales. On the whole the po
litical aspect of the meeting wa.
one Of great interest to not onl!
the Choctaw citizens but to TN,
white people residing here a
well.-SOuth McAlester Journa

TWO GAMES LOST.
AnsOn's Players Took Three Straight /
From WashiuUtOu.

Anson's Players Took Three Straight
From Warrington.
There were two games played in Chi
cago yesterday. one of them being neces-
sary on account Of the rain of Saturday.
The alleged Senators lost both because
they were not quite in the Ansonian class.
In the first game they batted harder. but
fielded worse than Chicago. and in the
second game they fielded better. but batted
worse than their opponents. They could
not make the right combination. The
Held was wet and slippery. Seven thou
sand people were present by the time the
second game was started. McJamss was
given rocky support i'll the first game. A
couple of infield fumbles in the third in
ming gave Chicago two runs and the
winning lead. Washington should have
Tailed enough in the ninth to tie or win,
but after Cartwright, Lush and Mercer
mad hit safely and one run had been scored
when two were out. OBrien failed to con-
meet with the ball and popped up an easy
foul.
Mercer was easy for Chicago in the sec
ond game. while Friend was an enigma
German relieved the eX-king Of twirIers in
the seventh. but the trouble lay not so
much in Washingtons pitching depart
ment as in Cncagos, for the senatorial
hits were few and feeble. Phenomenal
helding and great luck combined against
the Washington men. and they were forced
to drop the ninth game of the present tlip
away from home. The scores Of the two
games follow

A NEW RACE TRACK.

Mile Course.
A new race track is about to be opened for
the Washington people, and, though it will
be sixty miles from the city, it will be easily
accessible to the sporting public and will
as 1t IS eventually calculated, draw q good
crowd daily. The new race track will be

ager of the Chesapeake and Potomac Steam
boat Company. The track will be half
mile running course, and will require but
comparatively short time to construct it.
The contract for the construction of the
track has been let to G. F.. Cost a we'll
known man in that connection and he will
push the work rapidly. Work will be be-
gun Wednesday morning, and a large force
OF men will be put to work. According to
all expectations the track will be ready for
opening on the 10Th instant. on which oc-
caslon good program will be arranged A
running track, unlike a travelling track
does not require any banking, and as the
land Is adapted to the site, there is very
little extra work connected with the enter
prise. The track will be of the regulation
width. and possess all requirements. The
location will be about a quarter of a mile
from Lower Cedar Point proper, the land
being Very level.
Though the new track Is located in Mary-
land pools will be sold. Under the Mary
land law pool selling is no; permitted at
any one meet for a period exceeding .hirty
days. The law will not be violated, and no
allowed by law. Stables with plenty Of

datlon OF horses, and everything arranpad

PURSES WE'RE NOT PAID.
The Colonial Beach Race Track 1,
DisfAyOr,


A good story comes from the lower Po-
tomac A half-mile race track has been
built at Colonial Beach. just back of the
fotel. 1t is well fenced in and has ample
accommodations for spectators, to say
nothing of the stables erected for the con-
Neniences of the race horses. The track,
which is a trotting course Is in splendid
condition. and in fair weather is conducive
to fast time. The track Is a new feature
at the Beach. and the projectors hope to
secure the patronage of all the Washington
people who visit the place. in addition to
the surrounding residents of Westmoreland
county. The bulk of the patronage how
ever. is expected from the Washington peo-
pie, though in the manner in which they
We're treated at a recent meet, the pro-
Jectors of the track can hardly expect
much support from this direction
The race track was opened July with a
meet IN which there were four or five
events on the program. The races were
given under the auspices of the Agricul-
tural and Industrial Association. There
were several horses entered by Washing
ton people. who carried the animals down
by boat. and the story Of their treatment
has just leaked out. Two well-known
young men, whose names are withheld
took two good horses down for the meet
The horses were McFonso and Daredevil

track have not done much work Th,

horses carried down two jockeys. the whole

the cost of transportation the expenses of

The Soil and Care Required to Make
1t an Ornament to Private Homes.
From the New York Tribune
The japanese ivy. to flourish. must have
good start in life. The soil in which 1t is
set ought to be as rich possible. and the
plant kept watered copiously while 1t Is
striking it's roots into the ground. Some
sort Of wire shield is necessary to protect
1t from being torn or broken. The growth
will be the sLrer and more satisfactory If
the ivy is three years old before 1t is put to
the task of covering walls in the open air.
Boston is noted for the quantity of this
vine that is used in adornng its public
buildings and private homes While the
examples are far fewer in this city. there
are several which have for some time DEM
onstrated that the thing is entirely feasi-
BILE. The house Of William c. Whitney. at
5th avenue and 51th street, is covered with
beautiful growth of the ivy. So IS the
home of Edward B. Mitchell No. 81 East
5Oth street. Several churches, notably St.
Paufs, Grace Church and "The Little
Church Around the Corner" are gracefully
clothed with the interlacing vine. and plants
of 1t have now been set out at most of the
o,her churches. The old arsenal in Central
Park and the reservoir in 9th avenue be-
tween 40th and AID streets. have long at
tracted attention by their ivy-clad walls.
With the exercise of ordinary care there
is nothing whatever to prevent the ampe-
lopsis from becoming much more general
ly used than 1t is at present. 1t bears
changes of temperature well, and is SUBJ
stantially free from the attacks of insects
Quite apart from any consideration of its
beauty, it is greatly to be desired as
protection against the burning rays of the
summer sun. Superintendent Parsons of
the New York parks says that the close
growth. by shielding the brick and stone
of the walls, has a sensible effect in keep
Ing the Interiors of buildings cool. If the
Ivy should be used in the quantities which
may be observed In some towns he thinks
the moss would unquestionably operate to
reduce the general temperature and have
a beneficial. freshening effect upon the at
mosphere.

CoNNEFF TO BE A ..pRo.,

Thomas Patrick Connefr. the greatest

The campaign which Conner starts ont

Trouble in the District League.
There will be no games in the District
League schedule this week at National
Park. and. until Mr. Wagner is heard from
giving his consent to the further use Of the
park. the players Of that league will be idle
so far as indulging in games there Is con-
cerned. Last week. during game between
the Shamrocks and the Canterburys row
occurred. The feeling of rivalry is strong
between the teams OF the league. and par
ticularly between the Canterburys and
Shamrocks. and the trouble that occurred
last week was only a repetition of that
which has taken place several times in the
past.
Mr. Wagner was informed and Immediate
ly sent a letter to President Kneesi of the
league. canceling all the dates that re-
mained in the schedule. A meeting of the
league was held last Wednesday evening
at which 1t was intended to throw out the
canterbury club from further membership
put. the representatives of the Mile Limits
railing to put in an appearance, the meet
ing took no action. President Knensi wrote
to Mr.. Wagner, asking that the schedule be
allowed to continue usual, but without
the Canterbury team. No reply has been
received. A meeting of the league will be
held Wednesday evening in order to settle
the affair.
