VERY GOOD BALL

it Was UIiItGrGStiIg.
REGIMENTS WERE 0UTPLAYED
Stars Put Up Good Game
Throughout.
Hennessy Not in His Usual Form
Saturday Afternoon-Two
Double Plays.
REGIMENTS WERE OUTPLAYED

Ball playing with some of the mem
bers Of the First Regiment Team re-
quires too much exertion to be either
pleasant pastime or a source of enter
tainment for the people who pay their
admission to the grounds. The game
on Saturday was a demonstration of
this The first two innings was as in
teresting as baseball can be made but
after that there was little in it for the
public Hennessy belonged in the hos
pital instead of the pitchers box, for
he was a sick man. His erratic work
would have put any one but German
TO rout, for it was in and out-curve, up
and down-shoOt without sign or sig
nal, until poor German was played out.
But with all of this, German had but
two passed balls, fatal ones each XII
ley, who has always been considered
an excellent and wise player, resorted
to child's play when at the bat, and the
umpire promptly called strikes on him.
German, Luahiwa and Kaanohi went
through the game without an error;
Kaanohi, who played left field, put four
men out.
The Star team played good game
throughout. Hart managed to give 10
men bases on balls, but this may have
been Intentionally done. The Stars
were first at bat, and Lishman sent a
hot liner to Bower, who threw to first
and put him out. Hart few to left and
Kaanohi made a neat running catch
and put him out. Wilder met the same
fate. Moore made first on hot liner
to Lishman, but was put out trying to
steal second. Bower hit to right and
McNichol muffed, but in stealing sec
ond Bower went out Davis hit to cen
ter for base, German put out by
Hart.
Mahuka few out to Bower, Pahau
hit to Moore and out; Pryce hit to left
and made two bases. Bower fumbled
the ball hit by Woods and let the bat
ter get first, Koki hit to center for q
base; McNichol hit to short and Koki
went out at second.
Luahiwa went out at first. Hennessy
famed out and Scanlon went out al
first on hit to Pryce
The third inning was a good one fol
the Stars, but bad for the Regiments
Bowers error gave Lishman a base
and Hart's hit to right advanced hin
to third. Scanlan muffed a ball batteC
by Wilder, and Lishman and Hart tai
lied Mahuka made a two-bagger t.
left, Pahau sacrificed and Wilder cam
over the plate Pryce hit to short an,
should have been fielded out by Da
Wis, but he threw the ball home Ma
huka tailed, and then Pryce wa
caught mapping. This error of Davis
gave the Stars two runs.
Kiley and Kaanohi few out, Moor
made a hit to third and stole second
Bower was given his base on ball
and Davis put out at first.
In the fourth Koki got to first on
hit to center, McNichol took base o
balls. Lishman hit past short for
base and Wilder hit to center for tw
bases and brought McNichol and Lish
man home, Hart went out at the plat
and Mahuka went out at first.
The balance of the game was yer
uninteresting. and it would have bee
better for the Regiment team if it ha
not been played. Following is tn

CoRSIcANA SENSATION.
Fifty Capiases Charging DIFF
ferent Ofenses Missing
From the Records.

Corsicana. Tex, Jan. H.
"A genuine sensation was Great
ed today when it was discover
ed that fifty capiases against
parties for various ofenses
were missing. The records
were referred to and they only
showed the numbers of the
cases and the characters Of of.
lenses. the names of the par
ties committing the ofenses
being left off. The sheriff,
county. attorney and county
clerk ransacked the files of
their offices, but could find no
records that would throw light
upon the missing capiases or
information that would produce
the names of the accused par
ties. The complaints were FL
ed under the retiring admins
tration, which was Populist.
The present officials are as.
founded and say they are pow
erless to proceed with prosecu
tons under the circumstances.
Upon whose shoulders and re-
sponsibility of these methods
will be placed is a mooted
question with courthouse off
Gals, but they think some sen
sational developments may y, t
be had.

mess is already well covered,
it rarely pays TO start an op

sufficient patronage to sustain

London, January aI.-The

that Senator Wolcott of Col

The interview was private and
informal.

Texas Sandwich.
A we'll known southern writer
describes the funeral rather the
burial--of a citizen and war
veteran, in the following quaint
style:
"They buried him a marble
quarry; they had to cnt~~throngh
solid marble to dig his..ssgraVe,
but the tombstone they put over
him was brought from Vermont.
They buried him in a pine
coffin they put him in came
from Connecticut; they buried
him within touch of an iron
mine, but lhes nails insshis coffin
and the shovels with which they
dug his grave were imported
from Pittsburg; they buried
him in the midst of the finest
sheep grazing country in the
world, but the WOODEN bands OH
the coffin were made in the
north; the south did not furnish
one thing OH earth for that fun
-eral but the corpse aud the hole
in the ground.
They threw the clods down
on his coffin, and they bur /
him in a New York coat, d
Boston pair OF shoes, Chicago
vest and a Cincinnati shirt,
giving him nothing to remind
him of tue state in which he
was boru, aud for which he
fought for four years, but the
chilled blood in his veins and
the marrow in his bones"
This method of illustrating
the predicamrnt people are of
ten in. who buy everything and
produce nothing is not new:
but has the force Of truth 10

from the pest. Russian doctors

to giving the thumb screws on

has decided that Ii Foon, a
Chinese boy who was arrested
at the Grand Central depot
last September charged with
crossing the Canadian border
at Malone, N. Y, without the
proper papers, will be sent
back to his native country.
Ii Foon, under the law, can
not be returned to Canada,
but must be shipped from San
Francisco to his native coun
try. The transportation of the
lad across the continent and
the expenses of a couple OF
United States marshals from
here to San Francisco and
back will cost the government
nearly $1,000. Ii Sung, the
alleged father of the boy, who
is said to be a laundryman in
New York, is under arrest.
