Cleveland, o., July 1l.-After winning a
victory In the courts, the management OF
the Cleveland base ball club was not in-
clined to abandon the game scheduled
for today even though the grounds were
sloppy and a drizz.ing rain fell during
nearly all OF the nine innings. This was
the first game in Cleveland on Sunday for
a long while and 1900 people took the
was no attempt on the part of the author
tiles to interfere with the game. The ball
was slippery and hard for the pitchers
and fielders to handle. In consequence the

HARD, TOUGH, AWFUL.
Nine Miner Hits and Seven Runs in Que
Inning, Yet the Canucks
Won.

About the hardest game of the season
bagged from us on Saturday by a score
of 10 TO 9. With the tally 7-2 against
them the Miners struck q terrific bat
ting gait In the eighth inning, knocked
Dineen out of the box, went after Sta
ley with the same end i'm view piled up
seven runs, which gave them a lead OF
two,and then lost the game in the ninth
inning because Gillon weakened and
gave three singles and a base on balls
and because Bonner made an error in
attempting q double play that would
have made 1t possible for the Miners
to win by a score of Q to s.
During the fusilade OF hits in the
eighth there occurred about as deafen-
ing and lusty a period of roofing as
was ever heard by the same sized audi
ence at Athletic park and the yelling
had much to do with rafting Dineen
and encouraging the Miners to hit the
game out.
The Canucks wouldn't have made
their first three runs but for Gillons
bases on balls, and with two out in the
seventh White would never have got a
home run and scored Lush from second
If O'Brien instead of Boyd had been in
right field. So out of the first seven
runs possessed by the Canucks, Gillon
was responsible for three and two were
due to O'Brien's absence from his regu-
lar position.

MINERS, FIRST, TWO.

In the second inning Boyd's two-baser
and Massey's single earned run for
the Miners and another was scored in
the fourth on Bonner's single, Massey's
life and a single by Mcguire.
The cannonading In the eighth fur

opened with a double hit to left-center
and was followed by singles by Wal

sey singled, Mcguire hit to left for two
bases and Gunson singled the sixth run
home when Dineen was taken from the
box and Staley substituted.
Gillon singled Gunson to second and
each advanced base on passed ball.
O'Brien hit a liner to center and Gum
son scored. Gillon ought to have got in
but was caught a yard from the plate
on assists by McEale and Taylor. That

the tally 81 against the visitors. WAL

The Canucks failed to score in their
half as did the Miners in the first of the
ninth, although Bonner singled with one

Gillon was unequal to the strain and
weakened in the final half. Taylor hit
one which got safely past Mcguire.
Casey was sent to bat in place of Sta
ley and singled to right field. A base

A CRITICAL PLAY.

Here it was that Bonner fell down.
He had hurt his thumb quite badly
earlier in the game and this accident
had much to do with his costly error.
White hit a grounder which Bonner
stopped near the bag. He ran to the
bag intending to touch 1t and get the
ball to first In time to make a doubls
play. He reached the bag all right, but
dropped the ball. run had been scored
on the play, which was expected, but
the bases were full again and nobody
was out. instead OF there being two
out and a runner on third only.
McGann was famed, but McHale hit
TO center and scored the necessary run.

The result is often inartiStic, but is ac-

naturally graceful lines is possible to
an extent that. let us be honest, rivals
the auda city of an extreme cut-out.
Careful study of the figure is abso-

many fashions and notifications Is
chosen as the prettiest. \ combination
of effects is produced when. as is the
middle one of these three bodices, an
accordion-pleated waist is ornamented
by smoothly laid lines of braiding about
the torso. The long lines Of the pleat-
ing tend to a look of slenderness which
the fullness of the pleats obviates,
while added roundness is suggested by
the round-and-round lines of trimming.
The perpendicular fall of material set
from collar to belt ut one side, which is

NOTES ON EDUCATION.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO Pu.
Pill AND TEACHER.
A Kingston, y. ", School that Teaches
Pupils the Art or Science of Money
SavinS-Woman Superintendent for
Lessons in Saving,

The school authorities OF Kingston.
\. u, nave permitted one Of the schools
to make Il peculiar addition to the cur
1889 with the greatest success and is
to be extended to other pubic iIStitu-
tons in the city. This innovation con-
sists in instructHg the children in fru
gality and economy.
Tie method employed is the practi-
cal teaching Of the pupils the art or
science of money making or saving, and
important rs this branch Of instruction
may be it is said that the plan adopted
ut Kingston is the first to incuicatc in
the pupils of any school the primary
principles OF saving mcney. SO success
full has the experiment been in that
place hat it is urged upon the attention
OF instructors elsewhere. The plan pro
vides for a savings bank for the chill
dren wherein they may deposit their
pennies and get interest on the accumu-
lations. Since the experiment was I'M
dertaken the deposits have aggrega ted
in one school more than $500, and
almost exclusively by people in very
moderate circumstances, and is in fact,
the poorest in the city.
In this school there are 213.children,
many of whom have saved sums
amounting to from $50 to 500. On
each Monday morning the teachers re-
ceive from the children their pennies
MI
of the savings banks Of the city for
taking these small deposits and allow
i'll. interest on an account when 1t has
reached the sum Of So. Ut is the uEiver-
sal testimony of the instructors tliat
the system has resulted in intoxicating
ha of economy that have been use
full not only to the child but TO the par
ent as well. The teaching has had 4
lasting effect and it has not mattered
much whether the child has saved $40
or 10 cents; the idea and habit of fru-
gality has been permanently inculcated
and VIII be OF great value in after life.
If a child is taught to save at all it
can b.! made to take a real pride in saw
ing aad the main object Of the practi-
cal instruction is accomplished. II we
are to- have manual training schools to
teach a pupil trade, by which he can
earn y livelihood. why Is it not equally
important to teach him to husband his
resources by the practice of frugaiity
and economy? So long as it is the first
500 or $500 Of fortune that is the
most difficult to get it would seem tina I
the public schools could hardly do any
thing that would be of more practical

ify the natural outline and yet to sug-
geSt grace and slenderness. TO the
bony woman this is Il boon. to the over
plump one it is an improvements: so no
wonder fancy waists Still rule. Occa
sionally. as in the first waist that the
artist presents. the summer time de-
mand for looseness is seized upon to
disguise too great slenderness. The
material in the original of this sketch
was reddish-hrown cashmere. lavender
silk furnished vest belt and collar. and
lace and silk muslin were freely used
in trimming. This looseness of fropt
and sleeves will mask thinness quite
successfully, and. of course individual
taste may rule the selection of ma
tcrialS and colors, though the liberal
trimming of lace is worth retaining. \
