LATE SPORTING NEWS.
Boston Wins the First Game of
the Series
For the Temple Cup With the
Orioles.
Kid Nichols was Knocked Out of the
Box-Darkness Comes to the
Rescue of Boston.

Boston, Oct. 5.-The new champions
took the first game for the Temple cup,
defeating the Baltimores in a close con-
test more through a combination of lucky
hits and daring base running, assisted by
darkness in the last two innings, than by
any great superiority of play. Neither
team showed championship form, while
the work of the home team was at times
very much below the mark.
The Orioles batted Nichols out of the
box and would have given Lewis a simi-
lar dose if they could have seen the ball
in the last two innings As 1t was, the
game ended in the moonlight, the umplreS
keeping the players at it until some time
after SundOWn.
The weather was perfect, a mild Indian
summer day, with no wind and clear
atmosphere that was conducive to snappy
playing. One of the biggest crowds OF
the year turned out. The score:

DEFY THE POLICE.
Racine Salvationists March and Hold
Open Air Meetings

Racine, Oct. 5.-The cases of Captain
Smith of the American Volunteers and
Captain Black of the Saliva ton Army
charged with blocking the streets of the
city, We're called in the municipal court
this afternoon, but were adjourned for
one week at the request of the two cap
tainS.
The Salvation Army was out march
ing on the streets and held a public
open air meeting last evening, but were
not molested by the police, contrary to
the statement by the chief that he
would arrest them all and compel them
to spend today in jail. The Volunteers
abandoned their regular march and
confined their services to the barracks.
What the outcome of the trouble will
be cannot be told. The police are ap-
parently afraid to make wholesale ar
rests,as public opinion is decidedly with
the two religious organizations.

Much
To Anyone Afflicted With Piles.

painless remedy which has been so re-
marka bly, successful in curing every

also a package of Pyramid Pills and
used both according to directions.
was astonished at the immediate relief
obtained and now honestly believe the
Pyramid to be the only certain cure for
piles
That you may realize how bad I was.
I will say that I was confined to my bed
and went before the college physicians
here who said my case was a new one
to them and wanted seven or eight hun
dred dollars to undertake a cure; the
great pain had brought on a rupture,
and I knew an operation would be
death to me on account of blood pois-
oning. Nearly everyone here knows of
my terrible suffering from piles and I
feel that I cannot praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure enough and the Pyramid Pills
also. My husband will join me in high

have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no Opiate, morphine,
cocaine, or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healiig effect

BROWNS BEAT JOPLIN.
st. Louis Men Have Plenty of Work
to Win.

Joplin, Oct. 5.-St. Louis defeated Jop-

victory was due to punching their hits
in the third inning and hitting out six
runs. After that Stricklett steadied
himself and held the leaguers down to
scattering hits. Both pitchers were hit
hard and sharp, but clean fielding shut
off many runs The feature of the game
was the excellent work of Cross and

chances and Hall eight without an err

Fascination of the Other Side.

There always seems to be a pecul-
lar fascination about the other side Of
the road. Let the cyclist be getting
along never so gayly, the chances are
that unless he be one of long expert
ence he will every now and then be
observed to change sides, in the hope
of securing better surface. There must
be a reason for this state of affairs, and
while it would seem to be anything
but clear, yet it appears to US that the
reason is so simple as to escape notice.
The inequalities of the road just I'M.
der ones wheels are not only felt, but
clearly seen, they being so close at
hand; while the inequalities on the
other side of the road are farther dis.
tant, so that they are not so distinct,
while they are not felt at all. This is Ger.
tainly one of those cases where distance
lends enchantment to the view, as will
usually be acknowledged by the rider
who makes o practice of crossing the
road whenever occasion seems to offer.

A Prayer for knowledge.

Almighty God, we would rest in thine
eternity, in our Fathers sovereignty, in the
throne OF the one Majesty: because the Lord
reigneth, the earth should be all sunshine
and song and Joy and worship. The riches
Of Jesus Christ are uhsearchable riches,
therefore we can never be poor and weak.
Father, we would know the mystery OF living
wholly in thee and so dwelling In the world
as to live apart from it. Even this miracle
lies within the scope Of thine almighti-
oess. The Lords own spirit, more
beautiful than light, be with US; an
inward glory, a lamp shining on the hidden
parts that we may know what is right, not
only in conduct but in thought, and live that
interior, profound life, which the ever
blessed spirit himself must approve. In our
Saviour's name, infinite in excellency, we
ask great things. Lord, IL our prayer be

Snoring Caused q Death.

The snoring habit has broken up
families and friendships, but the first
case on record of its causing death has
Just been recorded in New York city.
The victim is Anna Churchill, a three
year-old Child, and the snorer in tho
case is Edward Mason, a boarder in
the Churchill household. Mason's
snore is said to be such that the people
within q block of where he is asleep
can hear it. The other night he
came home drunk, lay down in the
kitchen and fell asleep. His thunder
,us snoring awakened the child and
threw her into commissions. The fam
lily turned Martin out of doors and
called in a doctor to attend the child,
but she passed from m CONFUSION in
to another for several hours, and final
ly death ensued. The case will be in
vestigated by the Coroner, who will
endeavor to ascertain whether Mason
cau be held criminally responsible for
he child's death. Free Press.
