A Trans
continental
Test.

The Crimson Rim was the
wheel which carried John HI.
Wits from San Francisco to New
York in the shortest time on rec
ord. Wits set out on his Grim
son Rim from San Francisco May
Ia, and as he finished in New
York June "a, last, his record for
the distance was Al days, l hour
and As minutes, Up to that time
the best record for transconti-
mental trip was 48 days "There
is but one Crimson Rim it is the
Syracuse" From one end of his
rough journey to the other, Wits
never changed his mount. 1t car
ried him through the mountain
passes of the Sierras, across the
prairies of the West, over the
turnpikes of the East, without a
hitch. He paid no visits to the
repair shops. The most that he
had to do was to borrow a wrench
from friendly Sycamore in Chic
ago. One puncture, and one only,
delayed him for a short spell.
The Sycamore rider swears by his
wheel. Why should he not? Is
there another mount to match it?

vAssAR's coLoRED GRADUATE

Her Name is Hemmings and Her
Home is I'm Boston.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from
Boston says:
Anita Hemmings, the young colored wo-
man who graduated from Vassar this year,
is the oldest of four children Of Robert
Hemmings of Sussex street. He has been
saving, and has made a home clear for his
children. Robert, the next child to Anita,
graduated at the Institute Of Technology
as a chemist this year.
Anita has from little child been Of a
studious disposition. She stood high in all
her classes in Boston, and in the graduate
ing class Of 1888 at the Prince Grammar
School, she graduated first.
From the Prince School Miss Hemmings
determined to GO through the English High
School for Girls. This she did, and at the
end of the course stood high in her class.
She wanted to go to college, SO as to be
prepared to teach in Boston schools. She
felt that there was an opening for young
colored women in Boston schools.
About this time her studious disposition,
together with her quiet manner, attracted
the attention of philanthropic woman, a
member of Trinity Church, and it was
through her efforts that Miss Hemmings
went first to Dwight L. Moody's at North
field and from there to vassar.

Record of the Clubs.
How they stoOd August

The Senators played their first game CT
the series at Boston yesterday, the home
club winning by the score of to 2
From reports received from the city of
culture 1t would appear as if the Senators
were back in their old rut of playing dumb
bail. The average fan can overlook bona
ide errors made in trying for play, but
when it comes to senseless base running,
being caught off of bases and being afraid
to try for a play on account of individual
records. then comes the vigorous protest
From all accounts the game in Boston yes
terday abounded in plays of this sort. Had
so-and-so covered a certain part of the field
little quicker; had so-and-so more conf
dence and dash in fielding flies; had so-and-
so not tried to steal a base in the face of
muddy grounds. the game might have been
ours. Plays of this sort do not come to the
front very frequently at National Park, so
that the Washington patrons cannot under
stand the great slump of the team this
year. but away from home they materialize
with such startling frequency that no mat
ter how hard the ball is hit, defeat fol-
lows to a dead certainty.
Nichols and McJames were the opposing
pitchers, the former having by far the best
of 1T, as his support was of the frst-class
order, and besides, eight Senators hit moth
to have been above the ordinary. but the
best twirler in the business could make no
Roadway in the face of yellow fielding.
The Beaneaters started off with securing
run in the first inning. Hamilton nit into
left for two bases, went to third on a wild
pitch and home on O'Brien's error. In the
third they got another. Nichols singled to
left, went to second on Hamiiton's safe
bunt; Tenney's sacrifice moved him to third
and he came home on Longs fly out to Sell
bach.
The next two innings were blanks, but in
the sixth the Beaneaters punched their hits
against dumb playing and rushed three
runs over the plate. Collins drew base
on balls, went to second on loves single to
short right field, and scored on Bergen's
single to right that sent Lowe to third.
Lowe Tailed ON wild pitch. Bergen went
to second on the same battery error, took
third on Nichols single to right, and scored
on Hamiltcn's fly and out to Setback. The
remaining innings proved fruitless to the
Bostons, but until the last inning it was the
same way for the Washingtons. In their
last turn at the bat the Senators pulled
themselves together and saved themselves
from shutout. Setback drew a base on
balls and came all the way home on
Browns single to right. Stahl fumbled
Browns hit and the latter went to second.
DeMont went out at first. Mcclure few out
to Hamilton, but Tucker pasted a nice
single through the infield and Brown came
home. O'Brien then fouled out and the
game was over,

Ten tons of cinders, garbage and other
rubbish have the same capacity for pro-

gas is produced principally by condensa-
ton In cells at high temperature. The
furnace is designed specially for the com
