The day before Harry George died
the New York Journal published a
special article severely rejecting on
George and endeavored to belittle and
degrade him. The next day it turned
Its colnmns into mourning and
heaped pages of eulogy upon his
memory. If they believed him 90
good a man the day after he died,
there should never ha We been permit
ted in the columns of the paper such
unjust and unfair criticism OF him
living. A paper of the standing of
the New York Journal should set a
better example of decency and good
taste.

their annual banquet last Tuesday night
at Werernng-s, anu as on ror1ner IKE &C
casions had a jolly good time. After the
elaborate menu, law and justice had re.
ceived due elaboration and were fully
digested BIZ the eJrhrya lawyers cigars
were given rner inning. me genial
president, Mr.. Thomas Fl. Gately, Jr.,
raped for order and told the boys to pre-
pare for the post -prandial exercises. AT
ter a little paternal advice in the way of
opening remarks by the president, Coun-
Gilman Driscoll was called upon to favor
the club with a recitation. He grace
fully responded by reciting Salvador
in an able manner. Mr.. Henry j. Con-
ley was then requested to tell the boys
about Shakespeare and he did so by de-
livering in an artistic manner the balcony
scene in the play "Romeo and Juliet, .
which consists of the love-making dia-
logue between Romeo and Juliet. Mr.
Conley unprecedented all the characters.
Mr.. Gately- kept the boys in merry
mood by impersonating several members
of the bar in making their arguments
made the boys happy by giving character
recitations. Mr.. Edward G. Baker i'm
personated the colored preacher to great
perfection. Shortly before adiourning
vocal music was INDUCED in by the MEM
bers of the club, Mr.. Gately presiding at
the piano.
The success of the affair was largely
due to the efficient committee of arrange
ments which consisted of Mr. William M,
Ingraham, Mr.. Charles E. Perkins and
James A. Comedian, Esq, who is now
member Of the bar and an honorary
member of the club.

''GRAND But NOT WAR. :"
Yesterdays Game Amusing But Not
Base Ball.
BATHS MAKE SORRY SHOWING
AGAINST PORTLANDS.

Game Contained Some Novel and Striking
Features-The Opening of the P1ayin,
Season of the Maine State League To
day-Boston Defeats Chicago.
1t could hardly be said that the hit an(
run exhibition on the Deering baseball
grounds yesterday was baseball.
1t was an amusing spectacle on The
whole, and probably the spectators got
their moneys worth, but there were nc
very sensational periods, and the cheering
and roofing didn't crack any of the sign
boards of Mr.. Murphy's fence.
The Baths are members of the Maine
Amateur league, and in their class are al
right probably, but hereafter they will
likely be content to seek fame in less pre-
tentious circles than those in which the
Portlands move
After protracted, and at times earnest
debate of half an hour over the important
question, who should pitch, the game was
started at three o'clock with a man by
the name of Winslow in the box, and
Harry Stevens, Manager McGuirk's latest
acquisition in left field.
Putting Stevens in left field was most
fortunate thing for there is no telling
when the game would stop if he hadn' t
been there. Engel did the pitching for
Portland.
From start to finish it was case of
bang, bang, bang at the ball, except now
and then an inning when the Portlands
would rest up, SO as to have all the more
fun the next.
Mr.. Winslow got tired of pitching in
the sixth after he had been hit for three
singles double and home run, and Morse
him to the extent of home run and a
single before quitting. The ninth Bryant
tried it and after three two baggers and a
couple of singles McGuirk, remembering
that the quality of mercy is not stra ined
popped an easy one to Morse in right,
who in the base ingratitude of his heart
dropped it,.
But Beasie wouldn't run, and the people
went home. Stevens snapped sides and
pitched for Portland in the ninth, while
Engel proceeded to play for Bath, novel
and striking feature which added much
to the interest of the occasion.
Then Stevens was sent in to bat when
it wasn't his turn just to give him a
chance, and that intensified the excite
ment
Probably you remember they used to
do that in the lot, when one boy had to
go home and get the wood in at five
o'clock. There We're other features about
the game which reminded one of the
games in the lot in the old days, and real
ly if one is fond of turning back the pages
of history he missed much by not being
present.
The unfortunate feature of the DAYS
sport was when the scorers at the request
of the visitors refused to call out the
batting order, Smith to the bat, Jones
on deck" you know like that, but
probably they were saving their voices to
root for Beasie and his men when they
face Mr.. Bacon's sarsaparilla boys from
Belfast today.
Houle's batting was good to see, even
in that kind of game, and Stevens
played left field splendidly for Bath.
The scorers compromised on something
like this:

aid as the Senate has done. This is OF
course assuming that an objection from
the Democrats does not prevent consider
alton. The Democrats would, of course,
like to couple with the relief resolution
one declaring the Cuban belligerents. The
Republicans, of course, do not want this.
The declaration of beligerency is duty
belonging to the executive more properly,
as the executive has the information and
the power to act. A premature declara-
ton from Congress might be very embar-
RAISING. 1t might be based upon false in
formation, also, and SO be dangerous
There is no doubt that Spain and the
United States have been much nearer war
than the people of this country have
imagined. There is the best of reason for
believing that President Cleveland IS
cabinet expected war by June. This
Was along in the winter, and things do
not look much more peaceful now. With
such q contingency staring the country in
the face, the simple and statesmanlike
thing to do would seem to be to pass a
bill that will give the country some reve-
nue., at least enough to enable the treas
ury to pay its running expenses. This is
what the leaders of the House have bent
every energy to do, and SO far as their
part Of the work is concerned they have
succeeded

Cleveland, Ohio, May 19.-The attor-

to genuine surprise in the police court
this morning. Judge Solder, counsel
for the players filed motion to quash the
proceedings, when Judge Fielder called
the cases. 1t was promptly overruled as
was also the demurrer.
Then written demand for a separate
trial and trial by jury in each case was
presented and promptly granted by the
court. This was entirely unexpected bv
the attorney for the players and for a fe W
minutes they seemed rather crestfallen.
Judge Solder then asked permiss ion to
withdraw the demand, but Prosecutor
Kennedy objected and Judge Fielder re-
fused to consent. The attorneys then re-
quested that John Powell be tried first
and the other cases continued until a
more distant date. This the prosecutor
agreed to and Powell S case will be con-
menced Thursday afternoon while ali of
the other cases were set for July 10.

The discussion of the finances of the
company related largely to the surplus.
This surplus is represented by the insur-
ance fund, the renewal fund, temporary
loans and cash. All told it amounts to
1896, ZOO. The directors say it would be
wise policy not to deplete it by special
dividend at this time. Other gentlemen
took the ground that there is no necessity
of so large reserve. The dividend will
amount to over $170, 900.
