THE SAME OLD STORY.
The Senators Again Defeated by the
DrOOklyns.

DrOOk1yns.
1t was the same old story at Brooklyn
Saturday. The Senators played wretched
ball and the Bridegrooms won easily by
the score of 8 to 1. On account of King
illness. Mercer had to be used the second
time in Brooklyn, but strange to say his
work was very good in the face of dis
heartening support. Payne did the twirl-
ing for the Trolley Dodgers and kept the
hits of the visiting team so scattered that
it looked at one time as if they could not
get man nearer home than second base
But In the fourth inning this happy re-
suit was accomplished. one run being
scored. and then the Senator'S concluded
they had performed their days work and
quit, blanks coming their way for the re-
mainder of the game. With The Brooklyns
it was quite different. Very little cherry
pie has come their way this season. and
knowing a good thing when they see it
continued abiding at it until they had ac-
complished the wonderful feat to them of
p1tng up nine runs and winning their third
consecutive game. The game in its en-
tirety, from a Washington st standpoint, can
be described as a parody on base ball, and
not worthy of the players that represent
the national capital

Bill Joyce has not been playing in the last
two games with the New Yorks. and it
looks as if The has seoncluded to become a

The fact Should not be lost sight of that
Manager Sehmelz is alone responsible for
the present senatorial aggregation.
Schmelz turned down all arguments last
fall and winter looking to the securing
of new players when new players could

Schmelz could be soSwoefully duped.

that it caused her to abduct him. Years
ago she removed to this section, and
Harry Smart was brought up 30 believe
his parents dead. He was told that they
lived in Chicago and had died there
when he was baby, leaving her to care
for him. He never knew anything to
the contrary nor did he even suspect the
truth until his aged guardian began to
lose her mind as the result of an en-
feebled body year ago. Then the NUT
terings of the old abductor led him to
suspect the TRUTH, though he could not
get a sufficiently connected story to en-
able him to do anything. She died sew
eral days ago, and in looking over the
secret papers of his aunt Harry Smart
found statements that verified his sus-
picion. He at once wrote the postmas
ter at Sandwich, and telegram came
back from his brother. Harry Smart
will return to his Illinois home shortly.
He is well off, the old woman who stole
him from home having been a thrifty
person and given him good start. She

SOCIETY GIRL WEBS A vAGRANT.
Superstition and Fear Lead n Girl to
Queer Action.


A marriage celebrated at Orange
burg, S. c., the other night has features
that have put all tongues in the COM
munity to wagging. A pretty member
of one of the best families in the city
married a vagrant just out of the aims
house, and gives as a reason that the
mans mother, a fortune teller, per-
suaded her that death would soon claim
her if she did not marry her son. Eva
Easterlin was the name of the unfor-
tunate girl, Jim Courtney being her
husband. The couple went to theresa
dence of Justice Brinson and asked to
be married, Courtney representing Miss
Easterlin as a factory hand from an
adjoining cotton mill. They were mar
ried and proceeded to the shabby room
where Courtney had been living.
The parents of the girl, hearing that
their daughter had been seen with
Courtney, quickly ascertained the truth
and, giving chase, found their daughter
and took her home.

of solitude and go and live with them.
Some times he goes out and does
days work to get little meal or meat,
but he won't take money for what he
does. He says somebody will take it
from him. When he works for anyone
in the fields he will not go near the
dwelling of the man who employs him,
but has him bring or send the price OF
his labor to the field.
Wherever Jim Howard goes he car
ries a large stick and two guns, one
an old army musket, the other an old
flint and steel gun without hammer.
WHY he carries this old gun cannot be
told. as it cannot be fired. His
stick is a large, square hickory
one with a heavy iron ferrule on one
end of it and a sharp spear made OF an
old scissors-blade riveted through it
about two or three inches from the end.
Re says he can kill man or dog with
this in a minute. He carries it fastened
in his suspenders."
