Lsuis PittsburE and Philadelphia win.
The fact that tho New Yorks woro beaten by
the Cincinnatls yesterday is not a cause for
complaint from local cranks. There was no dis
graoo in the defeat, as Joyce's men fought for
every inch OF ground. and were only q run Boz
hind ct tho finish. Though It may DO said that
Seymour was at fault because hits wero punched
OF his curves In the fourth inning, it is not fair
10 attribute the loss of the game to
tho young lcft-hAnder. He pitched well
enough to win an ordinary game, bus
tho Now Yorks could not solve Breiten-
stein with enough frequency to mako moro
EunS than tho Rods. Considering the intense
partisan feeling in Cincinnati, tho Now Horks
have done extremely well 30 far there, and IL
they should win to-day the victory will be more
enjoyable than IL wrested from some other club.
As It 70, this particular downfall enabled tho
Oincinnatis and Baltimoros to draw away q bit
further, as tho champions won their third
straight game from the tail-enders in St Louis.
Hanlon's mon arc now hfty-four points
ahead of the locals, and ten points
behind tho Rods. Boston's defeat at tho
hands Of tho Clevelands was q serious
setback, as tho Boanoaters dropped eleven
points and their lead was reduced to thirty-six
points, which means that their coming series
with Ewing's men will be Of vital Importance TO
them. Tho Brooklyns wero again outplayed by
tho Chicagos, who have taken ninth place, q po-
sition better than anything Anse has been able
to boast of since the early part OF tho season.
The Eastern Park team, meanwhile. has dropped

HOmespun Hints.

After man gives up dyeing his
beard he ages very rapidly.
A woman dearly loves to say of her
self that she is true woman.
Nothing attracts more favorable at :
tention than a well-behaved girl.
When a woman's face is homely she
regrets that people cannot see her
heart.
Considering how mean men can be,
they deserve credit for being as good
as they are,
If man could enjoy laughing at
himself he would have plenty of
amusement.
Even old fogies have their good
points; they are free from a lot of mod
ern nonsense.
If a man is very fond of his wife he
Is always talking about her. There is
no better test
The faith your friends have in you
Is a beautiful thing; but so is a soap
bubble beautiful.
Men have a good deal of speaking
admiration for woman who publicly
admires her husband.
As soon as a man is nominated for
Office he is a little conceited about his
popularity until after the election.
When widower begins TO act as
If he had forgotten when his wife died,
all the women in town remember it.
Every man knows what love is, but
there is so much sentiment in the
world that he does not dare admit It.

face should be ranked as high as the
virtue Of controlling ones tongue

The Grandeur of Motherhnnd.

Motherhood. All the real romance
and all the real good in all the great
round world are bound up in that one
sweet word. Fads may come and~fads
may go. Newer women may crowd
upon the heels of the women already
new. One fact will remain, eternal and
unalterable, with it's roots deep in ma
ture's heart.
A woman is not woman until she
is a mother.
Take from the world the sweet
faced mother. with eyes swimming
with love for her first bonn. Danish
from the earth the touch of baby fing-
ers and the music of childish laughter
DO this, and the well-sprlng of poesy
would turn bitter and dry up, art would
vainly search a barren world for a
theme, and the lips of song would be
frozen into silence. All that is good

of a woman nature. Until she knows
the thrill of a first-born's touch a
woman has not achieved real woman
hood. The childless woman is a dis
cord in the grand anthem of nature
Unidentified.
