BISONS BEATEN AGAIN.
Defeated by The Grays at Adelaide Park
Yesterday.

Providence is undoubtedly playing the
fastest ball OF any Eastern League team;
they have let out an extra link, so to
speak, and are making the homestretch
run in a way TO warrant the winning OF
the championship pennant nands down.
Their ninth consecutive victory of the
last home series was scored at Adelaide
Park yesterday afternoon when Buffalo
was defeated 6 to 3.
The Bisons weren't In II for minute
They wallowed along In vain attempt
TO even up matters but made such botch
OF IL that the result was an exceedingly
uninterestipg game. To pat 1t briefly,
they were outclassed. Gruber, the gem
erously proportioned Adonis of the
Buffalo pitching staff, bad an arm like a
wooden dummy and pitched ball in a
manner that would warrant his removal
from a high school team.
In SIX innings he gave six bases on
balls, struck out one man, hit another
and was found for five hits that netted
the home team six runs.
lie was afforded fairly good support but
there was lacking goooly amount OF
snap and life in the visitors fielding
work.
Hodson pitched for the Grays, and in
the first inning was hit for two three
baggers. Such thing didn't distress
the crowd to any great extent, however
| for "Hoddy" is due for just SO many
hits in each game, and it didn't matter
II they came sooner or later. His work
after that was OF the gilt edge order and
in the next i've innings only 10 men
stepped to the plate.
Dixon did surprisingly good work on
first in Drauby's abserce, accepting II
| chances with but one error. The re-
mainder OF the team played fast and hard
until the game was we'll in hand. One
Of the pleassntest features that livened
up the contest in the absencer1f exciting
plays was the general feeling of good
| fellowship existing between the play
ers and the umpire, a rare sight these
days. The summary:

Reeves Testimonial Benefit.

About thousand persons attended the
testimonial benefit rendered bandmaster
ID. W. Reeves IN the Floating Palace
Thester at Crescent Park last evening. Ii
was q hearty and enthusiastic audience
and the beneficiary was highly gratified
with the demonstration denoting his
popularity. "The Mandarin Zune,"
music for which was written by Composer
Reeves, was the main attraction and 1t was
considerably elm bellished for this occasion
by popular specislties and the introduc-
tion OF novel features that just suited the
good natured and sympathetic audience.
The whole enterprise was under the direc-
tion OF the Mandarin Zune company.
which carried this testimonial to sue
cessfui issue as token OF the esteem that
each individual member has for their
popular and considerate manager. All
hands concerned are exceedingly gratified
at the outcome Of the enterprise. Next
week Will be the last of the Mandarin
Zune engagement.
Olga Nethersole vows that she will
never act carmen" again, and that Is

piece written for Sarah Bernhardt by

Comedian "Nat" G. Goodwin's married
life has been far from placid. His first
wife was Eliza weathersby, an actress,
who made her first bow TO a New York
audience in 1869, with Lydia Thompson's
company. She died in 1887, and the
actor transferred his affections to Leila
Farrell, the .soubrette, VINO wound up
matters by suing him for breach of
promise. Goodwin compromised with
Miss Farrell, and in October, 1883, he
married Mrs. pease, of Buffalo, the CO.
respondent in the present case. Her
maiden name was Nslla X. Baker. She
was the neice of Howard N. Baker, a
wealthy ship chandler, anu cut quite
swath in Buffalo society. Her first hnsbnad
was Edward pease, tho youngest son of
f. S. Pease, the Standard OIL man. She
eloped with him In 1885, and secured
divorce In 1887.
In May, 1891, Mrs. Goodwin sued for
separation from her husband, charging
him with cruelty. He In turn tried TO
oust her from the house In which she
lived at 26 West End avenue, claiming
that she was in Illegal occupation OF it.
Mrs. Goodwin refused to vscate, and after
a long fight the couple came to a COM
promise.
The truce was OF short duration, how
ever. The legal battle began all over
again, and in May, 1892, Mrs. Goodwin
obtained a decree OF limited divorce from
Judge Truax, in the Supreme Court. A
settlement was made by which Goodwin
agreed to give his wife $4,000 in lieu of
permanent alimony and half of the pro-
ceeds realized from the sale OF the furni-
ture, paintings, etc, in tine West End
avenue 6ouse. she, on her part, relin-
pushed her right of dover in the house
and ner claim TO ownership in it.

The Peoples Party National Platform

to the principles declared by the founders
OF the Republic and also to the fundament-
al Princlples OF just government as enunci-
afed IN the platform of the party in 1892
We recognize that through the connivance
OF the present and preceding administra-
tlons, the country has reached crisis in its
Natlonal LIE as predicted in our declaration
tour years ago, and that prompt and patri-
etc action IS the supreme duty of the hour
" realize that while we have political indie
pendenee our financial and industrial indie
pendence is yet to be attained by restoring
10 our country the constitutional control
and exercise OF the functions necessary to a
people government which functions have
been basely surrendered by our public ser
wants to corporate monopolies. The int,u-
ence of European money changers has been
more potent III shaping legislation than the
voice or the American people. Executive
power and patronage have been used to cor
rupt our legislatures to defeat the will of
the people and plutocracy has been en-
throned upon the ruins of Democracy. TO
restore the government intended by the
fathers and for the welfare and prosperity
| OF this and future generations we demand

nanclal system which shall make us mas.

ORITJJARY.

Departed this life on the morning
Of the 10th inst, at the residence of
his father, Olive Saxon, in the
tWenty-frst year of his age. 1t Is
supposed his death was caused by
a relapse of measles. He was taken
with a feeling ofdrowsiness T riday
evening, only two short days prior
ia his death, and all their efforts to
arouse him were unavailing. And
thus in the full bloom of young
manhood our friead passed away.
He was a Jolly youth, one of those
high-spiriteda personalities That
,makaI"rriends every where.
He leaves many friends and rela-
tives to mourn his death, but we
{! trust their loss Is his eternal gain.
He was laid away to rest in the
quiet family graveyard near Beth
lehem church to await the resur-
rection morning. We hope him
to a glorious Immortality.
May the Lord sanctify this af-
Fiction to the good of his loved
ones, and prepare them for the life
to come.
The will OF God, must be done,
The Makero of all the earth and man,
When He calls for the life He has
given
Nothing can change the eternal plan.
Though it seems to III unjust,
That n so young should be taken,
Should calmly fall q sleep,
On earth to never be awaken.
A FRIEND.
Died, Feb. 9Th, little Charlton,

God in his wisdom knew best
when TO take the little darling.
May the Great Comforter be very
present to the bereaved parents
and help them to, be resigned to
His will.
He was only q little flower,
From the Father to them given,
Sent only to bud on earth,
And then to bloom In Heaven.

he says he likes the Laurens people
so much that he likes to be among

1 hear that we will have four
candidates out for different offices
from this place.
Mr.. Editor your humble writer
will plant at least four or five acres
more of cotton on account of this
year being election year. You re-
member two years ago one of our
candidates carried his hoe along
with him, and by the way his hoe
was like Ben Ballew's whistling it
got him the Office and if you don't
mind that same old hoe will do
that very same thing this year.
1 think that is right when there
are so many candidates. I think
they ought to help a poor farmer
out instead Of going % see him and
keep him from his work so you
see if they carry any tool along
that will help their friends out why
no body is hurt by the transaction
and we poor farmers would not OBJ
ject to seeing a friend and candi-
date along u busiest eason of
the year.
