RECLAIMED THEIR BATTING EYE.
Senators Hit the Ball Hard and
Often.

The game of yesterday between the
Washington and Norfolk clubs was lit
tie more interesting than the one the day
previous, as the local men regained their
batting eye and hit the ball out often
and hard. Several sensational plays were
put through by both sides, and the way the
base runners took chances kept the spec
tators continually on the tiptoe of excite
ment. Whenever one of the Washington
boys got on first it was a foregone con-
clusion that a base steal would be tried,
but owing to the extremely accurate
throwing of aCtcher Me few DilferS were
recorded. Billy Lush secured two and
Brown and Abbey ore each. Several were
nailed as pretty as picture.
Norton was in the box for the Senators
fer five innings, and his work was of the
best, but two hits being registered Off his
delivery and one was the rankest sort of
accident. the batter trying for sacrl-
fee. Norton has regained his old health
and promises to be one of the stanobys of
the club.
Ashe relieved Norton in the sixth inning
and. of course, was desirous of making a
good showing on his first time out. Instead
of taking 1t easy he started In on his swift
inshoot and as a result soaked" the first
two batters that came to the plate. After
the sixth inning he settled down, and but
in no runs. Ashe is strictly all right and
will Prove it before the season is a month
old. ii -

John Kavanagh, the fiddler of the
Klondike, before the year is over will
probably be held responsible for the
downfall of some scores of musicians,
who, tempted by the stories of his good
luck. are tracking their way to Alaska
provided only with their instruments
and hopeful disposition. Kavanagh
is still a young man. and before his de-
parture had been employed at Port
Costa, in California, but he became pos
sessed of the idea that there was money
to be made in the north, so he struck
out for Juneau. From that place he
moved on to the Klondike region, going
afoot over the rough country interven-
ing and carrying with him, in his outfit,
Winchester rifle and violin. Once in
the diggings, he found himself about
the only available musician there, and
as q result there was little necessity for
him to delve with the pick and shovel at
SIS day while waiting to hit on a rich
claim of his own, since the lucky min

HIS CLEVER RusE.
How a Congressman swelIs the Heads
of His Constituents.


of His Constituents.
There is a member of congress who
does not live a thousand miles away
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey who
has hit upon a very clever scheme to
make himself solid throughout his dis
trict. In fact, this congressman, says
a New York correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press, is continually hitting
upon such schemes, and they extend so
far that he can probably represent his
district as long as he wants or until
his constituents conclude to put him in
some other office, the governorship of
his state, for instance.
His latest little scheme to bring him
self pleasantly to the recollection of a
large <slumber of his constituents is
unique. There are several hundred post
Offices in his district, and, of course, the
usual number of applicants for each
one. The Endorsements of the appli-
cants are on file at the post office de-
partment, and usually contain II long
list of names of prominent patrons of
the Office.

Office he takes the list of the mans in
dorsers and sends each one a personal
letter much after this fashion:
"1n accordance with your recomaen-
dation l have to-day named - -

Each man who receives such letter
immediately has a new idea of his own
in politics and is pleased 10 think that
his congressman recognizes his impor-
tanre. In any case, the receipt of a
personal letter from Il member of con-
gress is apt to tickle the vanity of a

A NEW SUPERINTENDENT
Obtained for the Public schools of Belpre,
This County.

BELPRE, O., August 80. The protests
which were made recently by large
number of Belpre people against Prof.
E. X. Barnes again having charge OF
the public schools of that place seem
to have borne good fruit.
Arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Barnes to exchange places with
Prof. NJ. L. Fearnow, of Virginia, and
he will have charge OF the schools dur
ing the coming year. Prof Barnes was
liked personally very well by Belpre
people but in his school work he has
not been very successful! although he is
a teocher of marked ability. y largely
signed petition was laid before the
board of education some time ago ask
ing that he be removed, but as he had
been hired for two years they could
not remove him, The matter however
was laid before him and he at once sci
out to remedy things with the above
result. School will open September 9

cation.
The rowels of natures most powerful
spur. hunger, are continually reddening
the flanlls of the primitive community,
saws the Monist. The apostles scath-
ing arraignment of the Cretans, whose
god is their belly" would literally APP
ply to every savage tribe--and many
a civilized one. Hunger is one of the
maiusprings of progress. At its i'm
perative command the flint was Clipped
into the arrow head, the dart, the spear.
In its honor the net was woven, the hoe
was made and the soil broken. To APP
pease its cravings the wild bull is
broken to the yoke, the forests are
fclled. the ditch is dug through the
marsh.
On its errands the ship is launched
on the perilous deep and the band sent
out upon the war path. Into its service
have been impressed the winds OF
heaven, the steam wrcaths of the cal
dron and the glittering shafts of the
lightning. 1t is the real Aladdin's lamp
of civilization. The ceaseless westward
flow of the human stream and the
march of the star of empire have been
ut the behast of its genii. Whether it
be born of barren soil and a cruel sky
or of the pressure of overpopulation. it
has played leading partin molding the
destinies of the nations.
In the fall of every world empire from
Assyria to Rome the conquering race
has invariably come from the noun
famous or barren land, or from a stern
er sky.
And still to-day the nations of the
bleakest belt of the temperate zone,
where the struggle with soil and eli
mate is severest, the Scotch, the Eng
lish the Dutch and the North Germans,
are overrunning the whole of the in
habitable globe and bid fair to far out
do Alexander by more peaceable and
far more stable means.
