A WELL e0Uanr GAME.
Augusta Loses 10 Bash, 3 to Ono Score in
First Two Periods.

Augusta lost to Bath, Friday even
ing. in City hall. by a score of to 0,
in as holly contested game as was
ever seen here. 1t was hustle,
push for the supremacy, for the first
two periods, ending in an even thing
of it.
The Augustus played sharp team
work game. and their aggressive as
well as defensive work until the last
minues Of the game was superior to
their opponents, and only Murphy's
grand work prevented them scoring.
Both teams played a bold game, for
that matter, and the goals We're de-
Tended in way to make things look
helpless for either side-as if the ball
had no idea whatever of going into
either of the cages.
Both played very roughly, at times,
getting off altogether too easily with
only two fouls. For a while one man
had an Augustonian by the leg, hold
ing that member high in the air to the
Indignation of the owner and the
spectators. who united in one loud yell.
The game went on for nearly three
periods, neither side being able to make
score. The work Of Murphy at goal
was brilliant with 80 stops, many of
them being very difficult ones.
Both sides passed well, and the in
reference was something on the mar
vellous. Perry stuck to J. Mooney like
the proverbial brother, and there We're
great passing to the doughty Dawson.
whose bee-line drives were stopped by
Mr.. Murphy of Bath.
In the third period, II minutes and
liz seconds had passed in the same
hair-lifting, heart-stopping manner.
The ball was driven to a corner back
of our cage. Barlow got it, looked
around, and, seeing Perry near the
center, attempted to pass it to him, in
front of our cage. The idea was all
right-but McGilvray made headlone
dive and whanged the ball by
Hackett's legs into the netting. Time,
Ills. The crowd groaned.
Then came the second and third
goals for Bath, in 2.32 and 20 seconds,
and the game was-Bath's. 1t was

the audience said nothing worse than
TOO bad

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-01-14

Guilty and responsibility Of congressional
reporting. He recognized that efficient
reporting service could not be obtained if
the official reporters were liable to dis
placement for partisan reasons at the end
of every two years.
So, in appointing as official reporters of
the House gentlemen who had been rem
derirg satisfactory service as reporters
of the Globe. he declared that the officers
thus appointed should be regarded as re-
movable only for cause. What was thus
possibly mere dictum of Mr.. Blaine's
was subsequently made a rule of the
House, which, however, would of course
prove nugatory but for the daily exhibit
ton of efficient services which it insures.
The difficulty of the work done by the
official reporters of the House is conceded,
not only by all who from day to day OBJ
serve the proceedings, but by the opinion
of the reporting profession throughout the
country. For instance, the late Andrew
J. Graham, whose shorthand system is
practiced by so many able reporters, de-
clared in print that there was probably
no more difficult reporting in the world
than that of the House of Representa-
tives; and Mr.. Benn Pitman, the greatest
rival of Mr.. Graham as q shorthand au-

member hddr, ssing the Chamber speakA
from the tribune, like a preacher in
pulpit, instead of here, there, anywhere,
as in the House. But in France it takes
nearly thirty men to do the work done
by five in the American House. Every
word in the Chamber of Deputies is taken
down by three sets of men checking each
other. This is made necessary on account
of the inferiority of the French short
hand, and the lack of individual dexter
ity, in comparison with the extreme speed
and accuracy Of the congressional report
ers.
The English House of Commons is not
now, and never has been, reported YER
batim. The Hansard report is partly
made up from newspaper compilations,
and is not published for several days
after the proceedings take place. Some
of England's greatest men, among them
Gladstone, have several times made eff
forts to secure the adoption of system
similar to the American, and committee
of the House of Commons is now again
considering the matter. There are few
men in England who are sufficiently skill
full shorthand writer's, but it would take
several years Of training to make a
corps as inv;ncible and handy as that OF
either house of the American Congress.
In Germany the debates are officially
reported, but there, too, as in France, the
note takers cannot make q strictly YER
batim report They rely on each other
for assistance in patching out rapid
speaker and the debates are not printer
on the morning after the delivery.
The Parliament of Canada is reported
very we'll, in English and French. but
only the debates, and not the legislative
action in detail, are published in the re-
port. In short, the reporters of Congress
are the only ones in the world who make
q record that is complete, as prompt as
the coming of the morning each day, and
which, when printed, is practically free
from errors.

to, the most conspicuous being an old iron
safe, which was placed in front of the
postofice with a slot chiseled in the top
for the reception of contributions It
was expected that so convenient an OPP
portunity to contribute would fan a wan
ing spirit of patriotism in the community
and bring to a focus a long drawn out
effort.
For time few pennies were collected
in this way, but soon buttons and sticks
were the only evidences of patriotic inter-
est, and one night some shame-faced citi-~
zens quietly carried off the old safe, and
it was seen no more. About this time
the late Alexander Mitchell seriously con-,
sidered erecting a soldiers monument,
and requested John S. Conway to make
a plastic sketch for his inspection. Mr.
Conway returned to Rome after submit
ting his sketch, and during the interval
of decision Mr.. Mitchell died and the
matter rested. His son, John T.. Mitch
ell, now one of the United States Senator'S
from Wisconsin, prior to his election to
the House of Representatives, voluntarily
assumed the financial responsibility OF

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
Fully 9O,OoO,OaO People Face to Face
with Starvation end Deaf

Fully 9O,OoO,O3O People Face to Face
with Starvation and Death.
Horrible in the extreme is the condi-
ton of some 90,O00,0OO people in India,
who are now passing through the stages
of famine that may prove to he the
most appalling in history. Not in all
parts of India is there famine nor danger
of famine; but in a region 1000 miles
long and 500 miles, wide the people are
face to face with starvation and death.
Ordinarily there are millions OF people In
India who from the cradle to the grave
must be content with one meal day, and
that chiefly of grain; there are other mil
lions who can indulge in the luxury or
two daily meals, and there are many
more-the very poor-who habitually sub
sist on wild flowers, plants and other veg
citation of spontaneous growth. At best,
therefore, large number of people live
on the threshold of want. Should the
grain crop fail, those who usually partake
of two meals a day are forced to be con-
tent with one, or less, and the number
of those who are forced to a diet Of flow
ers and weeds, with inevitable disease
as a consequence. increases. Such is the
condition this year The grain cr@p has
failed and famine and pestilence stalk
over the land.
In the afflicted region the people are
perishing at the rate of 10000 Il month,
and this number may soon be doubled
and quadrupled, for as people grow weak
er from lack of food they will perish
more rapidly Children and women may
be seen sweeping up the dust of the road
side and winnowing it in their hands in
search for grain of corn, and for few
cents parents are even selling their chill
dren to be killed and eaten. The condi-
ton of things is horrible beyond words.
Along the lines of the railroads half
clad men and women-mere living skele-
tons-hock into the stations to beg food,
or the means of purchasing it, from trav-
elerS.

AT Milwaukee thirty-siX employees of
the city were dropped from the service as
the result of the civil service rule that
all employees Of the city shall be citizens
Of this country.
BY compromise effected between the
city of Superior and taxpayers, the two
biggest land companies and several small
err corporations and individual property
owners are preparing to pay up delin-
quent taxes. 1t is expected that the nu-
merous suits against the city to set aside
special assessments, now pending i'll va
rious courts, will at once be dismissed and
within few weeks thereafter the city
expects to have not less than $45O,OOO of
tax meney in the treasury. Through this
arrangement the city is saved from the
necessity of repudiating bonded indebt-
edness.
Chief Engineer Spencer's annual re-
port for 1896 shows more fires in James
Vile last year than in any year since its
incorporation, 1853. There were seventy
fires with a loss of $24,936, not including
the Bee Hive and, street railway power
house, which have not been adjusted, ana
which will increase the amount $4,000
or $4,000. OF the loss mentioned SILL
927.3O was on buildings, and $13,669.G7
on contents The insurance paid was
$21. 631.97, and the uninsured S3,3O5-
S1.O75 on buildings and 1920 on con-
tents. The amount of insurance involved
was $685. The insurance premiums
paid last year amount to 100000. The
total loss by fire was $1,06I.S3 greater
than in 1895.

Importance Of the Work.
The official reporters of the House OF
10 arrosentatiyes are appointees of the
Sneaker; but their tenure of office is not
dependent upon the alterations and auc-
knations Of partisan majorities. In 1873.
when their official status was established,
MIR Blaine, then Speaker, took the lead
IN nlacing the official reporting upon a
E,v,l service basis. He was able to appre-
Ir;ate the demands of reporting work. His
experience as member and Speaker had
SsmiliarizeA him with the peculiar DIM
