Base Ball
The lineup against Cornell today will
be as follows: Boyle, left end Good
man, left tackle; Hare, left guard
Overfeld, centre; McCracken, right
guard Outlands, right tackle; Hedges,
right end;. Weeks, quarterback !;
Morice, left half back i; Jackson, right

The Independent and the Ariel foot ball
teams will line up this morning at River
view grounds. This game will be for the
one hundred and thirty-five pound
championship of the state.
The Annual football team was seen on
King street, back of the Opera House,
last night practicing for their game to-
day. The quarterback was having his
own troubles passing the ball to suit the
runner.
The Wilmington High School football
team will play the strong Villa Nova
College eleven at Front and Union
Streets today. This team is much
heavier than the local team, but our
boys hope to hold them down and even
score against them. 1t cost the manage
ment of the High School large sum Of
money to bring this team here, and Of
course the football enthusiasts will turn
out, and the High School boys will see
the largest crowd of the season.
Yale has at last come to her senses.
The great foot ball victory over Princeton
last Saturday has clarified the brain of
Old Eli, and more sportsmanlike spirit
is now manifested towards the other uni
versties. The resolution to meet Cornell
on the water is proof sufficient that the
blue will once more be Il real champion,
one that meets all comers. The track
team especially, has caught the enthusi-
asm and Yale will make Il determined
effort to wrcst the laurel wreath from
Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, track atlt-
Ietics is not such an uncertain game as
foot ball and base ball. The men cannot
win on enthusiasm, they must have Il
certain amount Of strength and ability.
Athletics can be developed rapidly by
conscientious work, and the Yale men
are working. 1t behooves Trainer Mike
Murphy, of Pennsylvania, to make spec
ial efforts to keep his men wide awake at
the intercollegiate championships OF
1888.

DIAMOND DUST,

The annual meeting OF the Cincinnati
Club will be held in Covington, early
next month.
Syracuse was shut out only once last
season-the record of the Eastern League.
Bill Terry, the former Colt, now is
managing Il billiard hall in Milwaukee.
eddy Burke's retirement is certain.
He will not be a member of the Red fam
lily in '9S.
Hoy had II larger average OF chances
per ga,nc-3. .02-than any centre fielder
in the league.
The Yale Baseball Association cleared
s6,530 on the last baseball season.
Roger Common has become sole owner
of the Waterbury Club of the Connecti-
cut League.
Decker, OF Chicago, averaged more
than eleven chances per game this year,
leading the League first basemcn in this
respect.
McAllistcr will be a regular pitcher for
Cleveland next year.
Following the announcement that
Alfred G. Doe has declined the offer of
the directors of the New Bedford Base
ball Club to act as the manager of that
club, comes the rumor that he may
secure berth on the National League
umpirial staff.
Speculation is rife as to the probable
make up Of the National League staff
OF umpires next year. There will have
to be twelve regularly at work, and at
least two substitutes. Lynch and Emslie
are considered to be sure OF reappoint-
ment. Hurst is out of it. Possibilities
include the former catcher of the Cincin-
natl team, Bob Clark, "Ed' Swart-
wood, former right fielder OF the Pitts
burgs, and 'Tommy' Burns.
George Cuppy, the Cleveland twirer,
witnessed his first game of golf recently,
and tells his experience as follows ''The
other afternoon during a walk in the
country | happened to cross some golf
links. Talk about threc-base hits or
home runs | saw one of those Charley
boys rap that little ball SO hard that it
went 500 feet on a linc-twicc as far as
Delahanty scars a homer. Why, at that
ratio Of hitting a man ought to be able
to hit full-siz.d baseball nearly half a
mile | arrived just as the ball came
tearing through the grass right in front
of me. | thought that it would get lost
SO made pretty stop and got ready to
throw to the plate. Then tn. whole
gang OF golfers came running up and said
] had spoiled an elegant put. told them
that the ball might have been lost, and
they replied that they had their own
caddics, whatever that may be. 1t is Il
great game, but the players were not as
civil as ''Jacls' Doyle or 'Mugsy' Nc
GraW."

Washington March 9.-President Nc
Kinley has sgnified his intention of re-
Giving Liliuokalani. THE former queen of
Hawaii, in response to her request for
an audience, just as socn as the rush of
visitors Is over. He does not intend to
make any specific engagements at this
time with any one excepting senator's
and others with whom he wishes to com
suit. If the ex-queen wants to see him
she must take her chance with everybody
else. At the present time Liliuokalani
can see the president by waiting her
turn with the scores of public men who
want his ear for minute. but she will
not be afforded the opportunity of an ex
tended conversation. Her reception by
the president later on will be purely in

CONSIDER IMPORTANCE OF IT.

The newspaper is a visitor in every
home. 1t takes up its abode in every
household The father reads it; the
mother reads it: the children read it;
and the little ones learn their c's from
the big letters of the advertisements in
it. The names of the advertisers in
our papers thus become household words
People trade with those they know, or
with those names they are familiar. But
not only are the advertisers thus bene-
fitted, but by showing to the world the
business that is carried on, the city in
which they live is helped
The newspapers of the city spend much
of their own money in advertising every
thing that tends to further the interests
of the community. To such an extent
do they do this. that many people forget
that a newspaper is private enterprise,
and that 1t takes money. and much
money, to run and operate it. and conse-
quently complain of everything that is
brought to 1t is not published free of
charge.
Every citizen and every corporation of
the community ought to help along with
our newspapers in the building of
our community Birmingham can be
helped by 1t being kept before the public
that free manufacturing sites can be
had here. and that fuel for manufactur-
ing purposes can be had at less cost than
any other spot on the globe Other COM
panies should, as some are doing keep
this fact before the public in advertise
ments in our daily papers.
Birmingham already has $50 small
manufacturing enterprises, yet how few
know of them, and the men owning
them? A card in the papers would not
only help your business, but it would be
constantly letting the people know what
we have here in the great railroad and
manufacturing and commercial center
of the south
Birmingham can also be helped by
having kept before the public day after
day that we have the finest water works
system Of any city in the south, the fin
est street car system, the finest electric
light plant, etc, etc 1t would cost each
of the corporations very little to keep
their own lines of business constantly be-
fore the public. and yet it would advance
the city's up-building.
1t is the purpose of the State Herald
to do all within its power to the further
ing of the upbuilding of Birmingham.
and of Alabama, and 1t asks the Cooper
alton in this work Of all. We propose to
give te the public the best morning pa
per that its income will support. The
entire income will be devoted to that
end, but the paper will be run strictly
within its income. Consider the import
ancc of helping your newspapers build
up your city and state

The Iron Trade Circular, of Birming-
ham, Eng. says that Il Welsh tin plate
manufacturer has ordered a large lot
of steel sheets from Pittsburg. and adds
that the American steel can be laid down
in England at shilings per ton less than
the price of British steel. This fact
gives black eye to the Mckinley bill.
The tariff on tin plate was placed at a
prohibitive point by the Mckinley bill,
because MIR. Mckinley insisted that the
tin plate manufacturers could not COM
pete with the Welsh manufacturers. But
the ways and means committee will no
doubt go ahead and increase the tariff
on tin plate in face of the fact that we
shin steel plates to Wales.

Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,

From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won,
where's mother2"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may yainly ask
For the comfort of her face.
For the rest of her embrace:
Let US love her while we may.
Well for us that we can say.

Mother with untiring hands.
At the post of duty stands;
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
Of her children as they cry:
Where's mother?"
