ST. LOUIS WIN.
Postponed League Game Played
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
AT the close of the field sports, the
st. Louis and Star Baseball Teams
crossed bats for what turned out to be
an excellent game The Star nine was
weakened by the loss of Cunha, who
went away on the last Australia. Hart
took third and Rabbit occupied the
pitchers box in his place, otherwise the
team was distributed as usual. The
college boys played the same team as
on Saturday last, and the boys did all
that was expected of them. Unfor-
tunately, there were two incidents
during the game, which, for the mo-
ment marred the pleasure of the after
noon.
One had ludicrous side; Thompson
sent the ball to left field and was
caught out, but he ran to first and was
not called out. On Gleason's hit he
started for second and was put out. A
more peculiar mix up never was seen
on ball field. Clarke had struck out,
and the Star boys remembered that
Sam Woods had caught some one out,
and that Thompson was out at second,
but they did not seem to connect the
left field out with Thompson and i'm
mediately claimed the innings closed
1t took at least five minutes to settle
the matter and Dayton who had made
home during the melee, was ordered
back to third.
The other incident was during the
Stars inning. In the crowded condit-
ion of the grounds, it was difficult for
the catcher to field the ball and on this
occasion it was blocked and two men
came home. Another five minutes dis
cussion arose, during which it was
claimed that some one had called
time" The matter was settled by the
umpire sending the men back to their
bases.
During the course of the game there |
was some really brilliant playing. |
Simerson made two catches in center |
field that won for him great praise |
from the spectators. Thompson played |
second base-and everywhere else in |
his usual good form, his only fault is |
that he plays too much, and in RUM
ng into different parts of the field, he
,akes chances of running into some
,ther player.
There was some good hits made on
both sides, and Lishman in the ninth
ming made a home run on a hit to
he left field fence. AS to Lemon
listing professional ball player prom
ses him good material. Cool-headed,
md with an easy, tireless delivery
The st. Louis boys put up an excellent
,ame, and, excepting some objections
n their part to the umpire's decisions,
heir work was entirely satisfactory.
he Star Club played their usual game,
nd their kicks were limited to cases
where the rules justified the action.

MARKS HIS CRAVE
General S. C. Armstrong;
Headstone.
Ceremony About Grave in Hamp-
ton on the Arrival of the
Hawaiian Stone.

HAMPTON, Va, April 20.-At sun
set the little cemetery of the Hampton
Normal Agricultural School opened its
gates and a long procession of teach
ers, and the 500 scholars of the school,
headed by its own band, entered and
ranged themselves around the grave Of
General Armstrong. The massive lava
stone, taken from the road leading
over Telegraph Hill, in the rear of Dia-
mond Head, Oahu, had been put in
place. II had been sent by the kind
friends of the General, and Chief Jus
tice Judd, of Hawaii, and Mr. w. E.
RowelI had taken especial interest in
the matter. The Old Dominion Steam
ship Company had willingly brought it
from New York with free transporta-
ton to Hampton Roads and the school
grounds.
AS General Armstrong had directed
in a memorandum that no monument
should be erected over his remains, the
direction was followed, and the Hawai-
ian stone, weighing six tons, was
of its surface, so that it was in the
same rough hewn rock as when taken
from the ground.
The services were simple and pathet-
ic, as the sun went down. The COM
pany remained silent until the word
uncover" was given. Soon, a single
sweet voice began to sing that pathetic
hymn of the American negro, Living
Low, Sweet Chariot" Others Joined,
and at last the entire assembly united
in it, with that perfect harmony of
voice so common with the negro. After
the hymn was sung, DR.. McVicar, of
Trinity Church, Philadelphia, the
church formerly in charge of Phillips
Brooks, repeated a prayer, all joined
in the Lords prayer, and the benedic-
ton followed.
This headstone stands near the larg-
est and deepest and most convenient
harbor of the United States, near the
great lines of travel, where the climate
invites many from all parts of the
country-thousands of people will see
it.
This stone is the only ocular evil
dence that such a place as Hawaii eX-
lists and contributed to the American
army a soldier, born on its SOIL and to
philanthropy one, whom Phillips
Brooks said was the successor of Abra-
ham Lincoln in leading the negro race
of America into the sunlight of Chris
tan civilization.
At the foot of the Generals grave
stands large bowlder. taken from one
of the hillsfdes at Williamstown, which
he often climbed while a student there.
The two together commemorate not
only the worldwide influence and
broad sympathies that entered into the
formation of his noble and beneficent
life. but show how far the influence of
that life extended and how from wide
apart lands sympathy, appreciation
and affection flowed back to him. and
will forever consecrate the spot where
he was buried

WHERE IS LONDON?
How a PedagOgue from Sydney
Was Called Down."

HOW d 'SNSSoSuG 1Itui SNhhSy
Was Called Down."
A good joke is told on a pedagogue
who recently arrived on these shores
with the avowed intention of showing
the teachers here their absolute ignor-
ance of the art of instructing the
youthful mind.
Shortly after his arrival he visited
one of the schools of the city and, en-
tering one of the rooms during the
progress of lesson in geography, ask
ed the principal, who accompanied
him, for the pleasure, first, and the pri-
vilege, second, of asking a few simple
questions as test. He was granted
the wish, and was soon busy thinking
up what question would be a good
starter The latitude and longitude of
Sydney, n. S. W., occurred to him.
and he Immediately put the question.
There was an uninterrupted silence on
the part Of the pupils, and a smile of
pleasure and contentment on the face
of the pedagogue.
What don't know the latitude and
longitude of Sydney. New South
Wales? One of the great cities of the
world? Surprised, Surprised! Some
thing sadly lacking! Why, Why! re-
marked the pedagogue.
The principal answered that the chill
dren had not been required to learn the
latitude and longitude of various
places. and added the fact that he did
not consider such a knowledge of any
great importance But. sir: I should
feel very much indebted to You if you
would refresh my memory on the lat
itude and longitude of London. the
large and very important city you
name as your birthplace. This time the
uninterrupted silence was on the part
of the pedagOgue. and the smile of
pleasure and contentment on the faces
of the pupils.
Seeking to relieve the pressure of
what seemed to be a desperate search
after molecules of the gray matter in
the brain Of a certain one present or
a total ignorance of the question put.
the principal asked the peda gogue for
the latitude and longitude Of New
York. There was the same silence,
this time interrupted by the very intel
ligent ordinations HEM" Well"
etc.

has written letters to the various Drin-
ters of Biographies. attempting 10

A NEW HOLIDAY,

In reply to a correspondent the San
Francisco Bulletin says that the birth
day of Ahyaham Lincoln is a legal hol-
iday in New York, New Jersey, Wash
ington, Illinois, Minnesota and North
Dakota. The attempt to make it a ma
tional holiday failed in Congress, the
objection being that the date was too
near that of Washington's birthday.
1t is quite likely that the effort vii!
be renewed at the next regular ses-
sion and that the friends of the move
ment will keep at it until the scheme
is crowned with success. The people
are becoming used to frequent holt
days and will not seriously object to
few more as occasion may require.
If Washington can be credited with
giving us country, surely Lincoln is
entitled to some appreciation for pre-
serving the same.

Wages In 1900.

What we call the "workingmen, "the
mechanic" had no existence as classes.
Labor was performed almost exclusively
in the south by slaves, and in the north
very largely by men and women who for
the time being were no better than slaves.
All over the free states were thousands of
Irishmen, Scotchmen, Englshmen, Ger.
mans, who, in return for transportation
from the old world to the new had bound
themselves by indenture to serve the cap
tain Of the ship that brought them over
Soldiers in the army received SO month.
Farm hands in New England were given
81 a month and found their own clothes.
Unskilled laborers toiled ~ hours per day
for 90 cents. Workmen on the turnpikes
then branching out in every direction were
housed in rude Sheds fed coarse food and
given 81 per month from November to
May and 80 from May to November
When the road from the Genesee river to
Buffalo was under construction in 1919,
though the region through which it went
was the frontier, men were hired in plenty
for S12 per month in cash and their
board, lodgings and a daily allowance of
whisky.-John b. McMaster in Atlantic.

Hermann was born magician. He not
only mystified and entertained by the as.
tonishing deXterity with which he exc
cuted his remarkable feats, but charmed
his audiences by his graceful manner and
the singular magnetism of his personality.
Not only was he Il magician, but CO.
median of u high order. His success lay
largely in the perfection of his skill as u
manipulation. His hands were trained to
a marvellous state of responsiveness and
he was primarily iuggler, deceiving the
eye by diverting attention from the move
ments that might reveal the mystery
willie he performed almost impossible
feats with the hands and fingers. 1t was
in the mastery of this simple work that
his strength as u performer lay, although
he elaborated them with paraphernalia
and stage effects. He was continually elab-
Grating old tricks with new adaptations.
HerrmaDns ability to handle cards was
wonderful. Not only was he master of the
ordinary tricks of causing cards to disap-
pear and reappear, to find packs concealed
beneath vests, under hatbands, but he
could distribute an entire deck of SO cards
all over a theater. This he did with such
marvellous accuracy in Boston in 1856 or
1887 that spiritualstic society made the
feat subject of discussion, and Hermann
was made an honorary member without
his knowledge or consent. What he did
was to throw from between thumb and
forefinger card and cause it to land on
the raj of the top gallery. The second
card would fall within few feet Of 1t,
and the third within few feet of that,
and so on throughout the house until the
entire pack had been distributed 1t was
claimed by the Spiritualists that this could
not possibly have been accomplished with
out supernatural aid. BY long practice
Hermann was able to tear deck of 81
cards longitudinally in half as straight as

these rectangular halves and divide them
again into strips, using only his thumbs
and forefingers to do the work. -Sprng.

has been so much anxiety, has been
spoken at last. On January 10 she was

Corinto she was not heard from again
until telegram came from Australia
saying she was in the Gilbert group.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elias
ITCHY in her step, the ring of her
voice, her enjoyment Of life-all
these are magnets which draw others
to her side. Wonderful and valu-
able as it is, health is not 80 difficult
a thing to obtain as some discour-
aged ones think. Most of the trou-
bles of women arise from impure
blood, impaired nutrition and low
vitality. Modern science furnishes
the most successful of remedies for
this condition-namely, Wampoie's
Preparation. 1t contains the flesh
building and nourishing properties
of Cod Liver Oil without its nau-
seous taste and smell the Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry Bark. Taken before
meals it improves the appetite,
makes fat, restores vitality, enriches
the blood and cures those weak
nesses peculiar to the sex, which
are the seat of their troubles. 1t is
blessing to tired wives, nursing
mothers and girls growing into
womanhood.
1t colors the pale faces and rounds out
the hollow chests. In word IL nourishes
and develops the entire body. 1t is the
typical medicinal success of our age, for
time has proved our claims are supported
by results. Genuine has trade mark AMI
