ANOTHER GOOD SCHEME.


The city administration of 1897 will
ever be held in grateful remembrance
by the people of Brunswick. Its con-
duct of affairs has been marked by
progress and improvement. Consider
ing the limited means at its disposal,
it has wrought wonders.
&But there is one other thing which
the city council can do before It's year
expires, that Will give to its admins
tration, browning credit of achieve
ment, The plan outlined by Alder
man Fendig at Thursday nights meet
ing has the ring of genuine merit.
That it Will meet, If carried out, the
unqualified approval OF the people, is
Indisputable.
THE TIMES had occasion, In various
ways, to call the attention Of the aul-
thorities to the various eyesores that
have disfigured our naturally beauti-
full city. Many of these notices
haYe been needed and the Of
Tending disfgurements obliterated.
The olds court house has been
demolished, the slopover fountain
fixed, the disgraceful pond on
Bay street drained, the holes in the
city hall tower filled with handsome
clook dials, and the pavements on the
principal streets are soon to be re-
paired. These are a few of the in
stances. But there are eyesores that
still remain-and among them the
ugllest, the most unseemly, the most
disgraceful of them all-the unfinished
market building.
This unfortunate structure has a
pathetic history. 1t was cut off at the
second floor by an adverse fate. It is,
at present, a memorial Of the Is % ented
b pom, a grim emblem of the unfn-
isned. II typifes the career of many
an ill-starred man, who, stoillng to
complete great life-work assigned
him in youth, falls a victim of cir
oumstanoe, with his task half done.
Roof1ess and tenantless it has been
the cause Of prolific queries from
curious strangers, who wondered at
the object of Its construction and the
reason for It's unlOvely Incomplete
ness. On corner of the principal
public square, it has been the eyesore
of eyesores, the chief Disagreement of
the bird's-eye view.
THE TIMES happily welcomes Alder
man Fendig and his supporters to the
rescue. The completion of the market
building can be accomplished without
great cost. 1t should be either fin
ished or torn down, It's present con-
dition is inexcusable, and gives wide
shock to every visitor who has been
told, from his youth up, that Bruins
wick is the prettiest city in the south.
With fire department headquarters
below and an armory or public hall
above, the completed structure can be
beneficially utilized. The present fire
department headquarters will make an
admirable police barracks.
We have completed the city hall, let
us now complete its humble and ne
elected nexr. door naiphhor

The pain that sometimes strikes q
man at the most inopportune moment
is due to indigestion. 1t may come in
the midst of a dianer and make the
feast mockery. 1t is a reminder
that he may not eat what he chooses,
nor when he chooses. He is a slave
to the weakness Of his stomach. A
mans health and strength depends
npon what he gets out of his food.
This depends on his digestion. Remove
the obstruction by taking D. Plerce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are positive
cure for consumption and its attendant
ills-headaches, sour stomach, fatu-
lence, dizziness, blliousness and
heartburn" The "Pellets" are very
gentle in their action. They simply
assist nature. They give no violent
wrench to the system. They cause no
pain, nor gripirR.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
Quirer from Anderson, Ind, says: Dad"
Cy Bowen, the star pitcher of the Atlantic
League. at present with Hartford, will
Aikely wear a Washington uniform the
rest OF the season. There is few dollars
difference yet in the prices, the Hartford
club holding him at $500, while Wagner
is not disposed to go over $1,000. There is
an interesting little base ball story back
OF Bowen, and If the trade is consummated
he will be able to return to his home in
Indiana. from which he has been an exile
for two years.
Three years ago he was pitching for an
Anderson team. At F1ndlay, Ohio. a
stranger, who watched the game from the
grand stand, came to him after he had
finished pitching aid asked him how he
would like to try a turn in the big league
He said he would like to, and a day or so
later he got a telegram from Freedman of
the New Works, instructing him to report
at the Polo grounds. He obeyed instruc-
tons, but before going he swore that he
would never return to Anderson until he
had made record in the big league He
pitched fairly good ball, but he was one of
the twenty let go after Freedman had re-
turned from his Florida outing two years
ago. He Joined the ManhattanS and at last
went to Hartford. where he has made the
great hit in the Atlantic League He has
been true to his word and never returned
TO Anderson.
Letters have been received periodically
in which he reiterated his avowed pur-
pose of succeeding in the big league be-
fore he ever returned to his native stamp

Orioles Losing Their Ginger,
M, tho Po fiv,aro Ga,

Somehow there was a singular lack of
ginger" in the work Of the champions.
Not for months have they taken defeat SO
listlessly as in these last two games In
stead of fighting 1t out to the last ditch,
they acted as If they were beaten almost
from the start.
OF course it is hard to get up any en-
thusiasm over losing game, but the
Orioles usually show fight to the last and
they showed very little fight in either of
these games. 1t is not a good sign. It is
to be hoped that the yump in batting is
only for few games. Any protracted
slump from this time onward would be
fatal to Baltimores chances for the cham
pionship.
Jennings is sorely missed. Quinn does
wonderfully well, but there is only one
Jennings. He Is the life of the infield, and
not to mention his great work at the bat
and his brilliant fielding.

Gettman, not Gottman, was born in Has
tings, Neb., twenty-five years ago, and this
season has been his first in professional
ranks. OF course, he has been playing ball
ever since he could lift a bat, and first base
has always been his favorite position. The
Fort Worth team already had an initial
bag tender, SO that he was placed in the
field Gettman weighs about 165 pounds
and Is about i've feet eleven inches high.
In looking over the Texas papers it was
