An Address to the Presbyterian Sabbath
Schools Of Augusta County.

An Address to the Presbyterian Sabbath
Schools OF Augusta County.
The committee in charge of the Westmin-
| ster celebration of the Presbyterian churche.
| OF this city, have issued an address to the
Presbyterian Sabbath Schools in Augusta
county which contains an offer that will
greatly interest the young people. The ad
dress is as follows:
From April 29th to May I'd, 1897, the two
Presbyterian churches in Staupton will hold
Joint celebration of the 25Oth anniversary
OF the Westminster Assembly which gave
us our Shorter Catecbism. On Sunday after
noon, MAY I'd, there will be large Sabbath
school meeting.
At that Sabbath school meeting the Cen.
trail Presbyterian will present an engraved
souvenir certificate to all the young people
IN Augusta county who have ever perfectly
recited the Shorter Catechism.
This certificate will be worth preserving
as an evidence that one has recited the cate
chism, and also as memorial of this year
of Westminster celebrations.
1t is estimated that there are several hun
dred young people in the county who will
be entitled to certificates When these hun
dreds stand up together to receive the award,
will not the scene be inspiring and memora-
BILE? Will not the young people enter into
our plan with enthusiasm and strive to
make the Sabbath school celebration in
Staunton an occasion never to be forgotten ?
The certificates will be awarded under the
following conditions
l. The list will be closed April l. 1897.
2. The certificates will be given only to
those who are under twenty years of age on
that day.
8. A certificate will be given to any such
person who has ever made perfect recita-
ton of the whole catechism at any past time
or who shall hereafter recite it on or before
the LIST day Of April. 1897.
f. certificate will be given to any such
person who either lives in Augusta county
or is regularly enrolled in some Sabbath
school in the county.
s. superintendent must be reasonably
sure the persons have recited the catechism,
and only those will receive certificates who
are found on list prepared by Superinten-
dent.

BOUND ENDEAYORERS.
THEY NAY GET LOWER RATES VIA
NORTHERN ROUTES.
Roads Violate Agreement by
Offering StOpOvers on the Return
Trip-The Northern Lines
May RetnIiate.

Chicago, July 10.-There is bound to be
some trouble over the east bound business
from the Christian Endeavor convention.
When the rates and arrangements were
made for the convention. the Northern
transcontinental roads made no EFFORT to
secure any OF the west bound business and
the reduced rates to the Pacific coast were
not made available via St. Paul and Min
neapolis. 1t was clearly understood, how
ever, that the Northern roads were out for
all of the east bound business that 1t would
be possible for them TO secure. and TO re-
ward them for letting the western bound
business alone the other transcontinental
roads agreed that nc stopovers should be
allowed on east bound traffic coming via
Colorado and Utah. 1t was announced this
morning. however, that the Colorado Mid
land, the Rio Grande Western and the Den
yer & Rio Grande had sold a large number
OF tickets which allow stopovers at nearly
all of the interesting places in Colorado
and Utah. The effect of this will be to d.
vert the travel from the Northern roads.
and II is expected that hey will meet the
violation of the agreement by a reduction
in the east bound rates from the conven-
ton. Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger Association. has called a meet
ing for Monday to consider the matter.

GENUINE CASE OF HARD LUCK
THE CRIPPLED Blues HANDICAPPED
BY ANOTHER MIsHAP.
Catcher Frank BIanfOrd Badly Hurt
by n Swift Pitched Ball Striking
Him on the Head-An ANA
teur Took His Place.

st. Paul, Mimi. July 1O.-(Special) In the
second inning Blanford was hit in the side
of the head by a swift pitched BALL For
several minutes he vas unconscious. He
recovered sufficiently to walk of the field,
but was TOO badly hurt to continue in the
game. Burke, a local amateur. who was
in the bleachers, was put into a Blue
uniform and caught out the game. This
mishap Is a proof of the hard luck that
has pursued the Blues and served to add
to the decentralization.
Abbey was seriously handicapped in his
work in the box. Burke was unable to
throw 10 second, and the Saints stole at
will. However. this was not much of 9
factor in the scoring.
The Blues were presented with their
first six runs. In the first, after two were
out. errors by Glasscock. Shugart and
Phyle let in three runs, McNicker and
along. In the second. a tumble by Hol-
hngswoith rave the visitors three more
runs. Blanford was hit, O'Rourke got a
first. and they all got home on an out and
a single by Gettinger. After that Phyle
steadied down and prevented much hit
ting, except in the fourth, when ORourke's
th~reebagger and McEicker's single earned
the last run.
Mcbride singled in the first, and got
non. In the fourth, singles by George and
PARROT, with errors by Pickett Nicholson,
Gettinger and Burke. gave the Apostles
Nyce. George and Shugart, with an out
field fly, gave them two more. The game
was won in the ninth. NichOlson's mum
gave Nyce a start. Abbey presented Glass
cock with a pass. George sacrificed them
around, and Nyce came home on a wild
pitch, Glasscock following him on Burke's
Wild throw TO the plate. The work of Get
finger and Menefee and a marvellous catch
Of Burke's long drive by Parrot were the
features of the game. Attendance, 100.
