CRANKS ALL FORLORN
The Baseball Pennant's Loss
to Boston Not Pleasant
10 HUNDREps OF "0RIOLEs' HERE

MANAGER NED HANLON TALKED
OVER HIS TEAMS TLUNK IN
WASHINGTON LAST NIGHT.
FOOTBALL WEATHER BRINGS
ABOUT MUCH GINGER FOR THAT
GAME.
The National baseball championship |
for 1897 is practically settled and, to the
anguish OF vast majority OF Whining
tons sporting men, Baltimore has lost
the pennant.
The question Of the championship
was practically settled by the result OF
the recent Boston series, but there were
many who hoped against hope that the
BostOns might lose a game and give
Baltimore a chance to win in the end.
All hopes We're blasted yesterday, when
Washington defeated Baltimore, and
now Boston has the championship for a
certainty. Even If Boston should lose
its one remaining game and the Balti-
mores win both OF their games, IL would
not affect the result
Boston has won the championship
for the season OF 1897. 1t has been fair
ly and squarely won after a great fight
and the victors deserve all commenda-
tion. Boston has great ball club,
worthy Of the highest honors of the
diamond. But while giving all credit
to the new champions the adherents OF
the defeated will hardly admit that the
new champions are superior to the old.
MAY WIN THE TEMPLE CUP.
Manifold misfortunes and accidents
in the earlier part Of the season, over
confidence and carelessness in num-
Der of later games and the unforeseen
slump of the pitchers at the most criti-
cal moment all combined to defeat the
Orioles, absence of any one OF which
would have given them the champion
ship easily All that is left for the ORR
oles now is TO win the Temple cup, and
get ready TO win the pennant again IN
1898.
Weak pitching by DR.. Pond was the
primary cause of the loss of yesterday s
game. Mercer who has been the cracl
pitcher for Washington for years, pitch
ed a good game and defeated the Orr
oles for the first time in four years. H'
has had many a desperate battle witt
them in that time but they have Away

THE TRUE REMEDY.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place In our
home, as in 1t we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even II they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

A POINT Of Commercial Inv.

The British court of appeal, the high
est court in the kingdom except the
house of lords, has ordered a decision on
a point of commercial law that will be
authority in this country. The ques-
ton was one where firm of bankers
had mailed customer draft for 81 900.
It was stolen from the mails by a
swindler, who forged the Endorsement,
deposited it in bank to his own credit,
drew $4,000 on account, and decamped.
The question was whether the loss
should fall on the bank as remitter or
on the customer as receiver. The low.
er court and higher one both held tina;
the loss was that Of the person to
whom the check was sent; but the court
of appeal, with the lord chief justice
presiding, reversed the previous de
cisions, and held that as the check failed
to reach the person for whom it was in
tended there was no payment, ant
therefore the loss fell on the bank. :

A MUCH ABUSED PHRASE.
For Which Medical Experts Are
Largely Responsible.

For Which Medical Experts Are
Largely Responsible.
In reading the report of the Benham
trial one cannot fail to be sadly i'm
pressed by the serious use by medical
experts of that much-abused phrase,
'heart failure" as scientifically descrip-
tive of the possible cause of the death of
Mrs. Benham. This unhappy express
sion, says the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, has been applied, as though
it described disease, only within a
few years, and it is still more recently
that the medical fraternity has fallen
into the slovenly habit of using it, in the
sense indicated. Now, it is the common
and convenient servant, not only of the
careless layman, who may not know
better, but of physicians, who are
either in doubt as to the real cause of
a patients death. or are too lazy to be
accurate.
There are various diseases of the
heart, functional and organic, and these
may eventually lead to- heart failure,
and consequent death, but it is q rank
abuse of long-suffering language to
confound the result with the cause.
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, the care
less riding of bicycles, and electrocu-
ton, al lead the way to heart failure,
and science has not yet discovered any
other immediate cause of death, what
ever may be the contributing agencl
There are few more wanton peTver-
sions of the mother tongue than this,
which is first cousin to the almost equal
atrocity found in similar use of the
word malaria. 1t is enough to give a
fastidious PERSONA chill to read of some
one who ''has" malaria, as though this,
too, were an ailmert, instead of an at
mospheric condition leading to disease.

Kit wnrren's Challenger Declined tc
Pay to BE Shot.
When Kit Warren was editing a coun.
try newspaper, a subscriber whom he
had offended with criticism sent him
a challenge for a fight with shotguns,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
He told the bearer to be seated, when
he asked him the price of buckshot.
'Thirty cents pound" was the re-
ply.
-Now," said Kit, "what is powder
selling at?"
"Sixty cents"
Then he turned his pockets inside out
-fshed up bunch of keys and several
due bills, looked them over thought
fully, then wrote his reply to his chal.
lenger:
"Dear Jim: Yours received. would
be glad to accommodate you, but your
friend tells me that shot is 30 cents a
pound and powder 60. And can't in
vest that much money in 'em these hard
times. If, however, you will lend me
90 cents I will secure you by mortgage
on the paper, and accommodate you
with few loads in any region you may
suggest. 1 believe, however, it would
take three pounds of buckshot to kill
YOU. Send on the money and make your
will"
The letter was duly delivered, and
that ended the matter. wants me ter
lend him money ter buy shot ter kill me

The Problem of the weather.

According to a paper by Mr.. Meade,
recently published by the Smithsonian
institution, it appears doubtful if the
official weather-forecasters are to-
day much in advance of their
predecessors of 25 years ago.
This means that an extension
must be made of our knowledge OF
the atmosphere before more accurate
weather predictions will become pos.
sible. The establishment of an aero
physical observatory is advocated for
the study of all the influences and condi
tions that affect and govern the wealth

Bright faced, happy, rollicking, playful
babies, thousands of them all over the
broad land, have in their bodies the seeds
of serious diseases, and while they laugh
and play are facing death. The mother, in
the majority of cases, is unconsciously re-
sponsible for this sad state of affairs Where
the mother, during the anxious period, suf-
fers from weakness and disease of the dis
tinctly feminine organism, it is useless to
expect sound and healthy baby. Every
woman may be strong in a womanly way,
and have robust, happy children.
A wonderful medicine for women is Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is the
discovery of an eminent and skillful spe-
cialist, Dr. r. V. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, a. Buffalo,
N. Y. 1t is a medicine that acts directly
and only on those delicate and important

1t makes them strong, healthy and elastic.
1t allays Inflammation, heals liberation,
stops facilitating drains and soothes pain.
1t gives rest and tone to the tired nerves. II

away with the discomforts of the expectant

A young laundress thrust broken

ing clothes. The needle having disap'
peared in the flesh, the surgeon, who
was consulted several days after the ac-
cident, refused to perform an operation,
fearing lest he should be obliged TO
make a number of incisions amid the
ligaments of the articulation. Two
months afteward, says Cosmos, the
girl lost the use of her right hand, and
the least movement of the fingers
caused her exquisite pain. Drs. Co.
rinewsh and Cerestin then determined
to extract the needle with the aid of
magnet, drawing it into heshy re-
zion where an incision could be made
without danger. To cause this move
ment they chose very feeble electro
magnet. But a difficulty arose; the
needle having entered point first il
would have to be drawn out backward
the broken part in advance. The first
trial lasted two hours with short inter
walls for rest, without appreciable re.
suit. Before the third trial, the girl
said that she felt pricking in the palm
of the hand near the place where the
magnet had been applied and where
the needle ought to appear. At the
ninth sitting, finally, the needle ap
peared beneath the skin and came out
whole, broken end first, without pain
and without loss of blood. 1t fixed it.
