Let Us Pray.

If the Reverend Robert @. Foute
had not chosen to leave the deck
for the pulpit, his qualifications for
command would have ensured high
rank in the navy, Of which he was
an officer many years before he be-
came rector of Grace Church. Among
the worshipers in that fashionable
temple on the California street hill,
last Sunday evening, were two sailors
who had migrated by easy stages
from Chinatown into the sanctuary
They watched the progress of the
service with more curiosity than
devotion, until finally Mr.. Foute
Numbered out in stentorian tones:
"Let us pray"
The peremptory accents reminded
the sailors of tho quarter deck.
They exchanged glances apprehen-
sively, the influence of long discip-
line strong within them.
81 guess we had BETTER" whisper
ed the older mariner, fearfully, re-
ferring to the rector's command, and
then the pair sank submissively to
their knees.-S. f. NeaUs Letter,

ANOTHER VICTORY.
The st Louis Win Game From
the Stars.

On the afternoon Of the anniver-
ssry OF the birthday Of the Great
Republic the St. Louis team had
the pleasure and satisfaction of win
ming, in the presence Of nearly three
thousand persons, game Of base
ball, in the championship series,
over their opponents, the falling
Stars. The game took place, as
usual, on the Recreation grounds
and every place OF vantage was
crowded with interested spectators;
even the press "den" was packed
with military luminaries, all ranks
from lieutenant-colonel down to
that Of private beings at times es-
conced within its narrow limits.
The game itself was stubbornly con-
tested by both teams good plays
being always apparent, the Star team
especially playing an errorless game
up to the fifth inning. The result,
but for an error in judgement of the
umpire, would have compelled ten
innings to accomplish, as the Stars
were prohibited from placing two
runs to their credit in the 9th in
nings which properly belonged to
them. As it was the game ended
with the score to in favor of the
st. Louis. Rabbit pitched for the
Stars and did good work through
out, while Lemon played his usual
steady reliable game. DAYTON,
wonderful to say played more &C
lively than Wilder, behind the bat,
and if he had only thought quickly
in ths sixth thrown the ball to

diately became brilliantly illuminated.
The lines of arc lights along the streets
began to dispel the shadows and stores
and dwelling became blaze of light.
Every ything worked nicely and the only
drawback was that the searchlight had
not been gotten ready by the manu-
facturers. This, however, was no
fault of Contractor Fuller, as on
attempting to mount the light it was
found the parts had not been properly
constructed and it was too late to
remedy the defect

The Fleecy Staple.

While cotton may no longer be king
in Crawford county it will be crop
this year that will make our merchants
and farmers happy. The opening gun
Of the cotton season was fired Tuesday
morning when I. S. Hollar brought in
the first bale. 1t was grown ON the
home place adjoining the Sharp farm in
River township and was sold to
Southmayd Miller Dry Goods Co.. for
~ cents. The bale weighed $40
pounds and was classed as strictly
middling. Mr.. Hollar reports that
cotton in his section is opening rapidly
and picking will soon be in full swing
From present prospects this years crop
will exceed that of last years by not
less than 100 per cent. if not nearer
200 per cent. Last year the first bale
was marketed Aug. 2, the extreme
dry weather causing it to open
prematurely.
