A Correction.

A mistake occurred in our we'd
ding announcements of last week.
Mrs. Euzella Cecil was united in
marriage to Mr.. Nicholas Hardie.
In our last issue we mentioned the
groom as Mr.. WorthingtOn. The
mistake was not made at this office;
our informant had been misinform-
ed, and the correction did not reach
us until after all the papers had
been printed and mailed. We regret
the occurrence very much, but hope
it will in no way embarrass the gen
tleman first named, or affect the
happiness of the contracting parties.
The Nashville Sun of last We'd
nesday contained the following item,
which will be of interest to many
readers of the HERALD: 1.-THE little
god Cupid has interfered In one con-
test, that for EngrOssing Clerk of
the Senate. Miss Augusta Pickard,
a beautiful Rutherford county young
lady, has withdrawn, and on Feb.
10 will be married to Mr.. n. d. Ma

AT Tullahoma they have passed
a law making it unlawful for boys
under II years of age to be on the
streets after o'clock. The parents
ought to pass and enforce such laws
themselves; but as they will not,
then such public laws if passed by
all the cities and towns of Tennessee
would save many a boy from a
drunkard's grave. Look at the
worthless, dissipated men of to-day ;
young men who are loafers because
nobody wants them about them
and think how many of them were
ruined before they were II years old.

JUDGE TO UMPIRE.
Language of the Cincinnati JUS
tice in Sentencing Hurst.

Cincinnati, Aug. IL. Judge Schwab,
in sentencing Umpire Hurst. among other
things, said:
1T is not your fault that you are not
here for murder. There, you Were an
umpire, or rather Judge. As regards
the excited crowd, you knew what TO
expect. You did not have to stay there.
You can quit your job at any time. You are
an old ball player, with an arm like
black smith. A beer glass rolled on the dia-
mond. No one was injured and no damage
was done. You picked 1t up, and, with
your strong arm, threw it among crowd
of spectators, WHO are supporters of the
game. An innocent man was hit. You pay
S1u0 and costs"
Attorney Cogan, for Hurst, made an ap-
peal, saving the umpire had been abused By
the players aud spectators, and when
someone threw beer glass at him he had
to throw it back in sclf-defense.
The fine was subsequently reduced TO
SEQ and the costs, which was paid. Car
tuyvelles has engaged counsel to sue the
League for damages.

The farewell appearance of the Phillies
at National Park yesterday resulted 10 a
shutont for the Quakers at the hands of the
Senators, making three in row from
them. The visitors were never In the
hunt at any stage of the game, as Mercer,
who was on the rubber for Washington,
was pitching grand ball, and nothing
seemed too hard for his support. Time
and again one OF stallings' boys would
land OF the sphere for what looked like
| a safe drive, but a wearer of the toga
nearly always managed to get in front
OF IL and dash the hopes of the runner
to the ground. Little DeMontreville made
first the ball was hit down to the short
stop, and nobody being on second to re-
ceive the assist, DeMontrevilIe slid into
the bag feet first in order to put his man
out. 1t was n great play, and received
the applause it merited.
Charley Abbey also earned the plaudits
of the crowd for two fine catches in right.
In fact, all OF the chances OF the blonde
tender OF the right garden were hard
ones, but they We're accepted in unusually
good style.

out of the leather except Wrigley, but the
manner in which he advanced base run

that the youngster is rapidly acquiring
all OF the fine points Of the game.
Wriglcy didn't do a thing but keep after

attempt and advanced the runner.
Tie Statesmen found Wheeler for ten
hits, two OF which were home runs. TIE

TICKET SCATPING,

The railroad ticket scalpers are afraid that law will be made at this session of congress declaring ticket scalping to be illegal. They have therefore prepar- ed for the fight by perfecting strong organization and by fortifying them selves with mass of arguments and al- legged facts to prove that they are not responsible for forgeries of tickets and passes and for other impositions prac- ticed upon the travelling public, but on the contrary are a great benefit to the public. In opening up their campaign before the senate committee on inter- state commerce the spokesman of the ticket brokers, who was sent to Wash ington to plead their cause, made an in- teresting admission. In his efforts to place the responsibility for the growth of the ticket scalping industry upon the railroad managers themselves, MT. Me- Kenzie frankly admitted that ninety five per cent. of all the tickets used by brokers are sold to them by the rail- roads. In reply to much sharp ques- tioning on the part of the senators it was developed by Mir. MeKenze's an- swers that the business of the ticket brokers is maintained by the smaller roads, which are enabled through this agency to cut rates surreptitiously.
 
 So the ticket brokers are no worse than some of the railroad managers. Considering the way they have been talked about it is a relief to find that they are not the worst pirates in busi- ness.
