THE FIRST GAME.
Old Timers Lip.ber Up and Play . Game
Of Baseball.

Old Timers Liuber Up and Play . Game
Of Baseball.
The long anticipated game of baseball
between the mines captained by John
Tully of the old Excelsior Club, who in
their day were hummers, and the team
captained by Joseph +. Burns occurred
yesterday afternoon at Darlington, and
resulted in victory for Capt. Burns team
by the score of IA to 8. There Is baseball
and handball but this match, 80 the spec
tators say, looked like game of parlor
croquet. Leonard fielded beautifully, mis-
sing only or 8 flies out of chances.
Tully imagined that he was pitcher, but
the conceit was knocked out OF him In
short order. Andrew Mclaughlin, an
other old-timer was substituted, but he
thought he was playing a game OF forty
fives, and sometimes mistoOk the north
east corner of the lot for the home plate.
Capt. Burns used great headwork ana
fooled the opposing batsmen.

Wednesdays Election Pre-
sentS a Peculiar Aspect
to the Average Voter.
1t is Estimated That There Were
Fully l25 Democratic Votes
For Freeman.
SYSTEMATIC WORK BY THE ENEMY
Now is the Time for the Members OF the Party
to Get Together and Prepare for Next
Campaign-Local Notes.

The election held on Wednesday pre-
sents peculiar aspect. That money was
used in large quantities to influence the
vote there can not be the slightest doubt.
Throughout the city it is estimated that
there were fully 12s Democratic votes cast
for Mr.. Freeman.
II would be unfair to say that the whole
lbs Democratic votes which were cast for
Mr.. Freeman were bought. 1t would be
safe to say, however, that fully 100 OF them
were purchased, leaving 25 who voted ac-
cording to their best convictions. In for
u,er elections Mr.. Freeman has received
from Is to 80 Democratic votes, and Will
probably continue to do 80 as long % ne
runs for Office. But there Is no excuse for
the Others, except that they were touched
in the light spot and with the proper kind
OF an inducement. Take the 100 purchased
votes from Mr.. Freeman's column and
place them for DR.. Remington and the re-
suit is quite evident to all.
For proof Of the fact that there was
treachery one has only to study the returns
from the Second and Fourth wards, and it
can Dt seen tuht IhO Soihuihosioh ""o
worked to the queens taste. The Second
Ward hich ought not to go over twenty
five Republican majority at the most gave
137 of majority. In tine Fourth it was
much the same. When the ticket. ought
to have received fully 125 OF a majority it
fell TO 7S votes. There must be some cause
for this state of affairs. There is only one
excuse TO offer and that is number of
Democr ats were tempted by the promise of
plenty oi Doodle.
II is time that the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party in this city came together
and formed a perfect working organiza-
ton, and weed this element out of the
party. Brand these people publicly 80 that
in the future they cannot be masquerading
around the town as Democrats. Trim of
the ragged edges of the party, and then
start anew and build up the party upon a
solid foundation. Those people who have
been selling out for the past two years are
well known, and it is time that they were
placed In class by themselves.
Now Is the time for the members of the
party to get togeather and prepare for the
next campaign in order when the time
comes good nominees will not be sacrificed
by band of traitors.

Styuth little Joseph Whitaker Last

10 dangerous thing for the authorities of
Lincoln to allow him to 60 at large. At

quite recently he was harmless, but since
the Cuban war started he has become COM

PLUSH SACK MISSING.

A Sneak Thief Made Haul Some Time
Monday Evening.
A young lady residing upon Illinois
street reported to the police station that
some time, either Monday or Monday
night that some one had stolen plush
sack from a hat tree in the hallway OF her
residence. She missed the sack late Mon
day night rom its accustomed placs, but
did not think anything OF it at the time as
1t occurred to her that some other member
of the family had used it and placed 1t
away. Wishing to use it last evening she
made inquiries but no one in the house
knew anything about it. She then came
to the conclusion that some sneak thief
had stolen it from the hallway.

LICENSE COMMISSIONERS

Met Last Evening to Receive Applications
for Next Years Licenses.
The first meeting of the License Commits
sioners to receive applications for licenses
was held last evening in the District Court
room. The full board was present and
President Sloan was in the chair. Alto
gether there were IS licenses applied for,
being 10 less than was applied for last year.
The hearings on these applications were
set down for April %, q and %. In all
probability there will be strong opposition
against the granting Of some of the
licenses.

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1897-09-03
The Arena for September.

Every true American citizen
should read DR.. John Clark Rid
paths splendid paper, "The Cry of
the Poor" and his "Open Letter"
to President E. B. Andrews, which
appear in the September number of
The Arena. In them the Doctor
has drawn a picture that appeals
to every man and woman in our
land who has God-given rights and
privileges which, owing to the in
tervention of plutocratic influences,
they are not allowed to enjoy.
"Why," asks the Doctor, "should
the voice of the poor ever be heard
rising like a wall from plantation,
hamlet, and cityful? Why should
there be seen standing at the door
of the homes of the American peo-
pie the gaunt spectre-Want ?"
"And Why" he again asks, "should
we allow the voice of our teachers
to be smothered by plutocratic
powers y
There may exist those who sane
ton the conduct of Brown Univer-
sity in expelling Professor Andrews
but it is very evident that the edi-
tor of The Arena and the author of
"The Bond and the Dollar" and
"The True Inwardness of Wall
Street" does not. "The True In
wardness of Wall Street, appeared
in the July number of The Arena,
in answer to Mr.. Henry Clews, the
well known Wall-Street banker and
millionaire. 1t was a true and
startling expose OF the workings of
the most colossal conspiracy of our
time, and well deserves the popu-
larity that it has gained. 1t is our
belief that "The True Inwardness
of Wall Street" will figure as prom
inently in the next political cam
paign as ''The Bond and the Dol
lar" did in the last.
All who are interested in the
wave of reform that is sweeping
over our country at the present
time, and that The Arena is so
earnestly championing, should not
fail to read carefully what the able
and popular editor of this magazine
Of the people has written for this
excellent number.
