men In hitting ana base running.
Baltimore started the game like win

was equal to the occasion. and hit Nops
just as hard and scored three runs
Baltimore added one IN the third

Both teams scored two runs in the Nth

errors and some daring base running
Then the visitors started In 10 clinoh

and Doyle all hit safe and hard, and but
for fine work on Longs part. more than
three men would have scored. The
home players were not dismaycd, and

desperate chances scored five runs, talk

Thrilling Experience of the MayfaIr--
Ships Cargo Shifts.
The British steamship Mayfair, bound
from Charleston to Bremen, arrived off
the Virginia Capes yesterday In dis
trees. Hes cargo Of $500 bales Of cot
ton was afre. She was towcd to this
city az speedily as psA'sible and the Mer-
ritt Wrecking company at once placed
the tugs alongside her to inject steam
into the hold in an endcavor to extin-
guish the flames.
The fire was discovered while the ship
was still 800 miles at sea. Steam was
at once turned into the hold and all
matches battencd down. However, the
fires assumed such threatening as
pect that the Captain determined that
1t would be best TO make q run for the
nearest port where assistance could be
obtained. Needing bunker coal also, he
steamed for Norfolk. The peril OF the
vessel and her entire cargo was great at
all timcs. however, as so much steam
was needed to drive the engines that the
fires could not be checked. Vessel and
cargo are insured.

bly, receive the sanction OF Attorney

ings, with an agreement that the fpin-

WHILE it seems that the Turko-
Grecian war is about over, the ter
rib.e ravages Of the conflict will last
for many long day. 1t is said that
Greece is practically in ruins. Her
fields are unworked, her farms are
laid waste. her villages are wrecked
and her husbandless, women, with
their fatherless children, are near
starvation's door. There are thous-
ands OF wounded who will not be able
to take care o, themselves but who
must DO cared for. This requires
money. aud the war ravaged little
Kingdom has no money to devote to
the purpose. And this is not all.
There are many wounded Turks who
sre prisoners Of war in the hands OF
the Greeks that must receive aid.

thousands OF dollars to Greece 60 help

The Japanese, unlike their Chinese
1eighbors, have . horror of opium
smoking. In Japan it is . crime. pun
ishable by heavy fine and a long i'm
prisonment. It is crime to sell opium
or smoking apparatus, and the only
places where the drug can be purchased
or where a person may smoke are ON the
foreign reservations under the protection
Of foreign flag. The opium dens in
Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki and other
cities are all found in the German,
French and English concessions, where
the Japanese have no jurisdiction.
When the Japanese took possession of
Formosa, which was ceded by China to
Japan as a part Of the price of peace,
they found serious problem in the
prevalence Of OPIUM smoking among the
natives and Chinese residents, who are
numerous
After the trial Of various methods the
government has finally adopted rather
novel policy to repress and regulate
the vice. It requires every opium smo-
ker to purchase a license from the gov
eminent by the payment of fee and
permits indulgence in the vice within
certain limits Of the city, which will
result in the colonization of opium
smokers Physicians and druggists
alone are permitted to buy and sell the
drug, and they are required to take out
licenses and pay heavy fees for the priv
ilege. Any violation of this law is pun
ished by imprisonment with hard labor
for term not exceeding Is years or q
fine not exceeding 5000 yen. In the
districts set apart for indulgence in the
vice opium smoking houses may be
opened for the accommodation of stran-
gers or persons who do not care to
smoke on their own premises. These
houses are subject to strict regulations.
and every time they harbor customer
who does not have a permit to smoke
opium the proprietor is liable to fine
Of 5000 yen and Imprisonment for /
years. Record.

HENRY IRVING AS A JOKER.

He and Toole Made . Tipsy waiter Re-
Hent Temporarily.
Sir Henry Irving tells an amusing
story Of q Joke that he, with Mr.. Toole
and third party, played some years
ago at a Glasgow hotel. After their
work they were supping at the hotel,
where, says Sir Henry. "there was in
the room high screen. The instant the
waiter was gone we commenced opera
tions. We stripped the silverware, Of
which there was a tolerable supply,
from the table and placed it behind the
screen. We then opened the window
and turned out the gas, and finally all
got under the table. We had only to re-
main in our cramped position a few
minutes before we heard the unsteady
feet of our friend, the waiter, along the
passage.
''The darkened room amazed him and
the cold air from the window seemed
to strike him with alright.

voice he ran out of the room and along
the passage.

the door, lit the gas, restored the silver
to the table and sat round as before,
enjoying quiet cigar. Presently there
was confused murmur along the pas

our agonized friend, the waiter. One
man was armed with q poker and the

to hurl at the thief. As they entered we
