A DANCE At CITY HALL
For the Benefit Of the Augusta Base
Ball Team.

Fer the first time a number Of
years the city of Augusta has ball
team which stands at the head of the
list and of which our citizens may feel
justly proud. 1t is certainly deserving
CT the most generous support. Lovers
of the national game need not be told
that this has been an exceptionally
hard season for it owing to the long
continued wet weather. In a single
week Manager Long lost $3.50 from this
cause. The attendance, too. in the
rare opportunities afforded for play has
not always been up to the mark that
might reasonably be expected with IA
home team playing pennant ball. This
afternoon, two games are to be played
with Rockland, for one admission price.
1t is of great Importance that every
lover of the game be present. A pay
roll is to be met. Monday, and it is Of
the utmost Importance that the home
management be given substantial en-
oouragement, today. Our citizens are
proud Of the team and anxious to see
1t given generous support. Next Fri
day evening grand benefit dance
will be given for this purpose at City
hall. Tickets will be so cents for gen
tIemen, and as the ladies have also ex
pressed desire to help, tickets for
them will be 10 cents. A number of
woll known citizens have volunteered
to assist in the sale of tickets. and
there is reason to believe that nearly
every one will purchase. and a hand
some sum of money realized to reim-
burse Manager Long for the heavy
losses sustained through the stormy
weather, and enable the team to go
forward through the season.

Lansing. Mich, May 26.-The house in
committee of the whole agreed to an
antitrust bill which prohibits any COM
bination to increase or decrease the price
Of commodities and provides a penalty
fol violation of not less than $500 nor
more than $1,000. The bill was hotly at
tackled on constitutional grounds, and is
rot believed by lawyers to be able to
stand the scrutiny of the courts. A bill
was also agreed to increasing the fran
chise fee CT corporations from Il mill to
IL mills upon each dollar of the capital
stock. 1t also increased the minimum
fee from s. to $50.
The house yesterday afternoon, by
an almost unanimous vote, adopted the
amendments recommended by the con-
ferrees of both houses on the senate bill
increasing the specific taxes upon rail-
road earnings. The Pingree representa-
tives. who had fought for much higher
taxes upon railroads. voted solidly for
the measure as amended. as being the
best that could be had at this session.
The bill increases the assessments upon
railroads by over $780, 900 annually. As
at first amended and passed by the
house the increase would have been up

Unable to Harmonic.
Chicago, May 26.-Yesterday the gen.
eral assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church was largely given over
to reports from committees. The COM
mittee on sanctification, which has been
considering the doctrinal statements Of
the confession Of faith to be submitted to
the presbyteries for their approval, re-
ported their inability to agree and asked
to be discharged. The question was in
definitely postponed. The committee on
education reported twelve recommended
tions for adoption into the rules of the
board. The most important are ones
making it necessary for theological stu
dents to obtain the consent of their pres
byterieN before being allowed to attend
other colleges than those of the Cumber-
land denominations, ard one recon-
mending the non-marriage CT students
and probationers until they have OBJ
tanned permanent charges.
The first recommendation was warmly
debated. On the vote this part of the re-
port was carried unanimously. A COM
mittee was appointed to cooperate with
the colored branch Of the denomination,

Eagle Lake, Ind, May 26.-The Pres

settled two important questions. The
first was not to sell its building in New
York, and the second was to have only
one secretary Of home missions The lat

in the report Of the judicial committee,

which extended to all presbyteries the

that few commissioners knew what they
