Advantage of Sleep.

In reply to the question, Is it wise

along with q few hours sleep q day.
te. do more work? Tesla, the great
electrician, is said to have replied:
''That is Il great mistake: I am con-
vinced. A man has just so many
hours to be awake, and the fewer of
these he uses up each day, the more
days they will last; that is, the longer
he will live. I believe that a man
might live two hundred years if he
would sleep most OF the time. That
is why negroes often live to advanced
old age, because they sleep SO much.
1t is said that Gladstone sleeps seven
teen hours every day. that is why
his faculties are still unimpaired in
spite OF his great age. The proper
way to economize life is to sleep every
moment that is not necessary or de-
sirable that you should be awake. "

j Floods Everywhere.

From all parts Of the country come
reports of unprecedented floods. Es.
pecially in the Mississippi valley, and
the tributaries of the Mississippi.
have the floods been more extensive
and general than for many a year,
and the result is great destruction OF
property and the loss of many human
lives. @.s@'.~% .'..
In the lower part of the Mississippi
valley the river flows through level
country, something like the Red Riv-
er valley, and in order to confne the
water to the channel, huge embank-
nents called leyees are built ON either
sides: It happens therefore that large
stretches of country, containing thou
sands of fine farms and happy homes,
are from ten to forty feet lower than
the surface of the river, and when a
break occurs in a levee, great damage
is done to life and property by the
in-rllshing waters. The damage that
may be caused by the overaowing of
rivers in the Red River valley is very
insignificant in comparison to the
enormous destruction caused by the
Mississippi. Especially at Memphis
and from there down to the mouth
has great damage. been done, and the
suffering people have called upon the
government for aid. .~.@:

The annual concert o, the university
OF Nebraska glee club will doubtless be
the best concert that has been given by
this club IN the city. No doubt its recent
successful tour Of the state will encour-
age it to do its be,t work here. Those
who enjoy this kind Of music will take
advantage u this concert as it lie the only
glee club concert we have had this
season and will be rovel and entertain
ing.
The club will have the assistance OF
the Sutorius mandolin orchestra OF
Omaha. which numbers sixty performers.
and is the largest club Of its kind in the
country.
The ticket Office will be open Monday
morning for the sale OF seats, which
have been placed at the reasonable

devoted to the Ellen Beach Yaw con-
cert company, consisting OF Miss Yaw.
colorature soprano, Miss Lay, pianist,
Miss Reade. contralto, and Mr.. Maximi-
liam Dick, violinist. The admirable
violin playing by Mr.. Dick saved this
concert from complete medioc.ity. In
fact the singing Of Miss Yaw is at times
not only bad but absurd, and she never
rose above TRICKY and inartistic style
of singing which cannot please the mora
intelligent OF her auditors. Miss Yaw's
voice is light high soprano. So thin
that it sounds much higher than her
actual tones, her fiexibility is not con-
siderable and she almost always as
pirates scale passages. Her trill is not
trill at all but a culver, and her in
tonation is not impeccab.e but inclined
to wander from the true pitch. More
over she has very little voice either
in quantity or in quality. while

not dignified and is rarely musical. Ii
is time that this pretentious singer with
her st ock in trade OF grimaces and few

Eastern League Directors.

New York, July 1S.-The board of di-
rectors of the Eastern baseball league
held a special meeting in this city to-
day and formally transferred the Roch-
ester franchise to Montreal. Those
present at the meeting included: Pres
ident Powers, of this city; James
Franklin, Buffalo; E. F. Bogert.
Willces-Ba w. H. Draper, Provi-
dence; Charles Englert, jr., Roches-
ter and w. II. Rowe. Montreal.
The Montreal club Will take the
standing in the pennant struggle occu-
pied by Rochester and will complete
the schedule of that city without
change ot dates. The Montreal man.
agement agreed to pay all expenses in
CURED by the change. Two grounds
are now being fitted up in Montreal,
one for weekday games, and the other
to be used on Sundays. The opening
game will be played next Friday, and
Messrs. Powers, Draper and Bogert
will be present. Wilkes-Barre will be
the visiting club.
The league magnates expect that
Montreal will prove an excellent base
ball city, as the inhabitants are great
admirers Of the game and have the
baseball fever in its most pronounced
form.

GOOD AND BAD BALL.
Miners Play Two Games with Montreal
and Each Club Wins 0ne.
Some Poor Playing.

The erstwhile Rochester team, now
the Montreals, and the Miners played
two games Saturday afternoon and
each club won and lost.
Your Gran'ther Morse and Becker, a
recent college find. were the opposing
pitchers and each twirled superbly.
Morse had by far the better support
but the Montreal errors had nothing to
do with Scranton's first run which was
sufficient to win the game that ended
with the score 10.
Only four scattered hits for five bases
were made off Morse who struck out
four batsmen and gave but one pass to
first. Becker did about as we'll with
the five hits for six bases made off him
and his six strike-outs and one base
on balls.
One run was all that the Miners
needed to win and IT was made in the
fourth inning on Walters single, two
infield outs and Bonner's single. Err
rors by Shannon and Mulyey and Cum
sons single netted run in the fifth.
The third and final tally developed in
the sixth on a. walk to Beard, Massey's
single and Bakers high throw on Mas
sey's steal.
Montreal might have scored but for
two double plays following as many
singles, Morse's good control and his
excellent support. The score:

There was no indication of tapeworm
but Gran'ther seemed TO have curves

Bill Eagan comes here with syracuse
and will be pointed out as the bad man
who tore down the Springfield fence. Jud
Smith, who threw bat at Umpire Kcn-
nedy, is arother of the Stars and a gooI
sextette could be composed by adding
Lampe, Ryan, Tommy Bannon and Buck
enberger. The Stars and Miners have
each won three out Of six games between
the two clubs. Look out for fun.
John Berger, 1.-The jolly Dutchman," and
catcher who deserves to be In good
company, practices daily with the team
at Athletic park. He Is reduced in flesh
and in much better trim than when play
ing with Scranton last year. Berger was
loaned to Cortland early this season. He
was paid the biggest salary on the team
and when the club recently got into finan-
cial distress was released In order to re-
duce expenses.

believe Rogers is a gold brick, but 1t Is
not unreasonable to presume that in his
case Springfield has gone over the salary
limit.
Uncle "Blr' Coughlin, who formerly
pitched for Springfield, has been signed
and is expected here in time to pitch in
today's gem me. We need good pitchers
badly, but If Coughlin was not good
enough for Snrinpfield he certainly is not
good enough for Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes

lin gave evidence of being quite good
enough for any Eastern league team. For
ten innings he held Syracuse down to four

AMATEUR BALL NOTES.

The Highfiiers challenge the Sliders,
Jrs., to a game of base ball, Monday, July
10, at $50 a. m. f. Duffy, manager.
The South Side team and the Har-
monies battled on Coyne's grounds, Mi
nooka, yesterday. Neither side put up
the fielding game they are capable of.
Fallon, the pony experiment, was in the
box for the former and the West Slders
failed to solve his enigmaticaI delivery,
as thirteen batsmen famed the wind.
The fielding of both teams was yellow.
The feature of the game was the stick
work of Hastings. The Harmonies were
defeated by the score or 10 to 7.
