most peculiar slide to avoid being touched
out between bases when he had no
possible avenue of escape, and in doing so
was stepped on by Allen, and spiked so
severely that he had to get out Of the
game and Houseman succeeded him, the
former being given base on balls.
Turner and Grady did the best work for
the visitors. The general all round play
of Boston was excellent, Collins being
easily the star.
With the game eleven to six, Stivetts,
for some unknown reason was taken out
of the box in the eighth and Nichols SUBJ

Bethel, September 9.--The seventh an
nual meeting of the Riverside Park AS
ISOLATION and Bethel Agricultural fair
closed today, with an average attendance
and good races.
The Q. 35 class with seven starters. was
closely contested. The judges removed
driver William Gregg and substituted T
Thayer on the third heat.
The next event was novelty that made
great fun for the spectators. Eight an
Gent farm horses were put into trot-
ting sulkies for the first time in their
lives and raced under professional driy-
ers, the slowest getting the purse. In the
second heat they appeared in the cumber-
some vehicles of a preceding century. At
the close of the third heat an agent for
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals made an attempt to stop the
race. It ended in considerable confusion,
threatening language and shouting. Ow-
ing to lack of time the race was not fin
ished.

some Figures by Burdette.

My son, when you hear a man growing
and scolding because Moody gets $500
week for preaching Christianity, you will
perceive that he never worries minute
because Ingersoll gets $500 night for
preaching atheism. You will observe
that the man who is unutterably shocked
because Francis Murphy is paid $3.50
week for temperance work, seems to think
it is all right when the barkeeper takes
in twice as much money in a single day.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, my boy,
and he is Just as worthy of it in the pull
pit as he is upon the stump. Is the man
who is honestly trying to save your i'm
mortal soul worth less than the man
who is only trying his level best to go to
Congress? Isn't Moody doing as good
work as Ingersoll? Was not John B.
Cough as much the friend of humanity
and society as the bartender? Do you
want to get all the good in the world
for nothing, SO that You may be able to
pay high price for the bad? Remember,
my boy, the good things in the world are
always the cheapest. Spring water costs
less than corn whiskey; a box of cigars
will buy two or three Bibles; gallon of
old brandy costs more than barrel of
flour; a ''full" hand at poker often costs
man more in 30 minutes than his
church subscription amounts to in three
years; q State election costs more than
revival of religion; you can sleep IN
church every Sunday morning for moth
ing, IL you're mean enough to dead beat
your lodging that way, but nap in
Pullman car costs you 81 every time; oO
cents for the circus and penny for the
little ones to put in the missionary box
81 for the theatre, and pair of old trous-
ers, frayed at the ends, baggy at the
knees and utterly bursted as to the
dome, for the Michigan sufferers: the
dancing lady who tries to wear the skirt
of her dress under her arm and the waist
around her knees, and kicks her slippers
clear over the orchestra chairs every night
gets $500 week, and the city missionary
gets $500 year; the horse race scoops
1900 the first day and the church fair
lasts a week, works twenty or thirty of
the best women in America nearly ia
death. and comes out $40 in debt-why
my boy, If you ever find yourself sheer
ing or soothing because you hear once in
while of preacher getting a living, OF
even q luxurious salary, or temperance
worker making money, go out in the
dark and feel ashamed of yourself and
if YOU don't feel above kicking "A NEAR
man, kick yourself. Precious little dc
religion and charity cost the old world
my son, and when the money it does get
is flung in it's face like bone to a dog.
the donor is not benefited by tho Gift,
and the receiver not-and certainly
should not be grateful. 1t is insulted. -
