A PRETTY GAME.
Tint Was Anybody's Until the
Enn.

NORFOLK, VA. July 9.--(Special)-
To-day's game was one Of the prettiest
exhibitions OF ball-playng seen on these
grounds the present season. IL was no
body's game until the last man was out.
Lancaster led off with two runs In the
second inning the signs were ominous
Of defeat for the locals, as the Pennsyl-
vaniaDs were hitting Mcfarland pretty
hard. But the next inning saw the score
tied The succeeding innings saw Ian
caster forge ahead, but the Lancasters
never saw the home-plate again. In these
innings the Brooms made two more runs,
and held their lead TO the end. The feld-
ing Of both sides was excellent, but a
difficult catch by Smith was perhaps the
best feature Of the game.
King Kelley, of Petersburg fame. made
his first appearance as a Norfolk ball
player. and pleased the fans Immensely
by infusing some life into the game. The
score viii tell what he did in the way Of
playing. Score:

Immigrants Coming.

One of the best evidences of the
coming prosperity promised SO long is
the number of immigrants who have
come to the Northwest lately from
the East and elsewhere. Quite a
number of these have settled in
Chisago and Pine counties, Minnesota,
on the line of the st. Paul & Duluth
railroad. The Duluth Short Line, as
this road is popularity known, besides
Offering great inducements to settlers,
runs fast. finely equipped trains be-
tween the Twin Cities and Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater and Tay-
lor's Falls, and has for years been a
prime favorite with the public, be-
cause of its facilities, good service
and up-to-date ideas. If you want to
see people, GO via the Duluth Short
Line. For information, ETC., apply to
ticket agents generally, or write to c..

Jewisl, Feast,

The Jewish passover and feast of
unleavened bread, began Saturday at
shutdown and will continue for eight
days. The period will be observed in
Ely by the Hebrew people as well as
in all other parts of the world wher-
ever they may be found.
The feast is based Oh the ancient
custom of the Israeites to open the
harvest season with religious feast.
No one touched the new grain, not
even parched or fresh ears of corn till
the irstSheaf had been presented TO
jehovah, and then all FASTENED to
enjoy the new blessing Of divine good
ness by eating unleaYened cakes, with
out waiting for the tedious process OF
waiting for the fermenting of the
dough- This usage became fixed in
custom and a new significance was
added to it by reference to the
exodus from Egypt, when, as tradition
ran, the people had no time to leaven
the dough III their troughs. A history
Of the passover is one of the most
complicated subjects in Hebrew
archaeology and has been great
battlefield of Pentateuch criticism
The first and second and last days OF
the feast are the most important
The passover is a sacrifice drawn from
the flock of herd at the sanctuary anc
eaten with unleaVened bread.

Several Omens.

To find horse shoe in your omelet
at breakfast is sign that the cook is
absentminded.
To upset the pepper box signifies
that you will give a slight imitation
of a man who has hay fever.
- IN
To walk under an elevated road
when train is passing is sign that
you are rich and will get new suit
of clothes very soon.
Nv
II the palm of the left hand itches
it signifies that you will meet a
stranger with money, which he will
keep.
Nv
If, when you give up a room, you
also give up your trunk, it is an omen
that you haven't paid your rent.
x*#
A hairpin working itself out of a
young lady's hair is sign that it will
go on an exploring expedition down
the back of her neck if she doesn't
discover it in time.
M
To see the new moon over the right
shoulder and make long wish is a
sure sign that you will collide with a
cable car, unless you bring your gaze
down to mundane affairs.
~
To see the new moon, the old moon
and 46, 7S9, 432 stars over your right
shoulder in Winter is a sign there is
ice on the pavement. In summer it
signifies banana skin.
~
To stub your left toe when you
stumble is token that you will land
on your right ear, if you stub your
right toe you will reach terra firma
by means of your left ear. Scientists
claim that this state of affairs is
caused by the laws of gravitation.

If you wake up in the night, think
you hear burglars, and find, instead
a black cat with white stargin its
forehead trying to force an entrance
into the refrigerator, it is an omer
that the free and unlimited coinage

right away.
