There have Leen patented all kinds Of
schemes devised for the purpose CT Sc
curing a bottle that cannot be refilled
after having once been emptied of its
contents. A great deal Of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling the bottles
OF some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
oottling. An ingenious Philadclphian
proposes to accomplish this by blowing
a coin in the body of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one to break
the bottle as soon as it has been cmptied.

Scene 1.-The departure of ambas-
sailors from the respective govern
ments.
Scene 2. -Sparring for positions on
the part of the United States and
squaring for fight.
Scene 3.--Great show of fight.
Both sides show delicacy of firing
firstgu A great deal Of buster.
No blood shed.
Saene 4.--Unlted States ships move
and blockade Cuba, but no enemy in
sight to meet them.
Scene Spanish ships sail, but no
one knows where to. Great excite
ment felt from day to day by the
American people as to their wherea-
bouts. Reports occasionally come in
of their being sighted off certain To-
calities, which create much excite
ment, especially on the part Of New
port, Boston, Charleston and other

Scene Surrender of Cuba to the
United States government, who
agrees to hold it as trustee, pending
the formation or new government

Spain, Spain goes into collapse and
peace follows. The war being over,
the curtain drops. ssAll's we'll that

VICTORY.

Start-They should not have scored at
all but the grounds are Responsible.

Ne are too good for them.
The Wayesburg boys were taken
into camp BY the local students on
Saturday in way which was graf
living OF course everyone expected
the home team to win but they did
not expect the wholesale slaughter
that was seen Waynesburg had
made most creditable showing
against w. and J. and other good
teams in Pennsylvania and it was
expected that they would be at least
common amusement for the boys.
The simple facts in the case were
that they were out batted, out field
ed and out played at every stage of
the game The fact that they made
two runs after being so thoroughly
licked was the fault Of the rough
grounds more than anything else.
But for a few errors by our boys the
score card would have been clean as
far as any Waynesburg scores are
concerned.
The game shows that the team Is
everything that has been claimed for
it. 1t should lose very few games
this year and should make the best
record OF any team ever turned out
by the University.
Lewellen's home run was feature
of the game. In consequence Of this
feat he received the box of Alpha
tobies offered by the Athens cigar
company, pair Of trousers from
ALI. X. Smith the tailor, a UNIVERSE
ty pin from G. G. Hayes d Co, and
a fine cane from j. r Miller, tobac-
conist
The score nineteen to two shows
that the boys know how to pile up
runs. They could have made more
had there been any necessity but
they took pity on the visitors and
kept the number down w. Il. p.
will be here next Saturday and they
will get the same dose in smaller
quantity perhaps but they will get
it all right. Doggie Trenchard will
be here with them but he cannot
play as he is not.a student.
The University team lined up as fol-
lows: Pratt, catcher; Lowe, Pitcher;
Anderson, first; Schad, second; Nc
Whorter, third; Whaley, short; Lew

uNIoN FOR COLLEGE ATHLETES

Westminster College fay0rs nm idea
that has been suggested by w. & J.
hoys-Compt ehensiye League pro-
posed-Lots of Colleges Ia Pennsylva
MIA and Ohio are mentioned ms Favor
Ing ltlt may not be Success.
NEW WILMINGTON, April 30-The
proposition from Washington and
Jefferson College looking toward a
union of the athletic interests of the
colleges OF Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia has stirred
up considerable interest among the
athletes OF Westminster College, and
there is no doubt but that such a
union will be favored By the College
Athletic Association
1t is not believed that the proposed
arrangements could be perfected be-
fore next fall, but there is no doubt
that the Westminster men are fully
as anxious for a wider field as the
men OF the other colleges mentioned.
The proposal is to form a new league
to be made up OF Waynesburg, Ge-
neya, Westminster, Allegheny and
Washington and Jefferson in West
ern Pennsylvania; University of
West Virginia; Ohio, Wesleyan Uni
versity, Adlebert College, Mount
Union, Hiram, Scio College, Franklin
College, Otterbein University and
Wooster University Washington
and Jefferson has suggested that
Bethany be brought INTO the new
league, and Westminster favors it
also.
There are many people who think
that the proposed union will never
be successful, for the notion of it is
being founded on personal differ
ences resulting from present organi-
cations.

Railroad Building in the South.

The New York Commercial says:
concurrent with the growth of in
dustrial factories in our Southern
States comes an extension Of railroad
construction there, and it is believed
that the year 1898 will see the largest
increase Of mileage south OF the Po-
tomac and Ohio rivers, and possibly
also more new track built than in the
rest ofithe United States. One esti-
mate has placed the new track at
5000 miles, and it is certain that the
survey of new routes has been rapidly
progressing south Of Mason and Dix
on's line. Upward of $1,000 900 in
bonds are said to have been foated,
chiefly in Europe, for these new con
structions, all of which are directly
attributable to the development of
both the agricultural and manufac-
turing interests of the South"

Visited the Town on April 11th, 1865.
5000 Cavalry.
The Memorabilia OF the Moravian
church for 1865 gives the following &C
count of the visit of Gen. Palmer's
Brigade to Salem:
After we had enjoyed the solemn
meetings on Palm Sunday we were
greatly startled the next day, April
10th, by the intelligence that the
same portion of the Federal army
looked for on the Sd would pass
through Salem, and indeed toward
evening about o'clock they appeared
all at once in our midst. Scouts had
been sent out to watch for their ap-
proach, and when the Yankee saw
them across the hills there was a race
for town, in the course of which one
man was captured. He was taken to
the Federal camp, but was released
next morning. Before we could real
iZe it soldiers were seen at every cor
ner of the streets, had taken posses
sion of the postoffice and secured our
whole town. Some of our brethren
bad gone out to meet General Palmer,
the Commander of the troops coming
our way, and our Mayor, Bro. Josh
Boner, addressed him personally.
When commencing our town and COM
munity to his protection, not only on
our own account, but also on account
of our large female boarding school,
the General assured him that no de-
struction Of any kind would be allow
ed, and that we might feel perfectly
secure from harm during their stay
with US, Gen. Palmer established his
headquarters in the house OF our Bro.
Joshua Boner. In very great, COM
parative silence about ) 600 cavalry
passed through our town. pitching
their tents on the high ground be-
yOnd the creek. Had it not been for
the noise their horses and swords
made it would have been hardly
noticed that so large a number Of-at
the time-nostlle troops was passing
through our streets. The strictest dis
cipline was enforced, guards rode up
and down every street, and very few,
indeed, comparatively, were the vio-
lations Of proper and becoming con-
duct on the part OF the soldiers

OUR NAVAL MILITIA.

North Carolina Battalion May be
Called Into Active Service.
1t is almost certain that the Naval
Battalion of North Carolina will be
called into active service very soon,
says Wilmington paper.
1t was announced at Washington a
week or more since that signal sta
tions were to be established all along
the coast, and that the points in
North Carolina would be Oregon In
let, Cape Lookout and Cape Fear. In
addition to this, telegraph lines are to
be built all along the coast to connect
with all the Notifications, and an
operator will be placed at every signal
station.
1t is settle d fact that the signal
stations are to be manned by the
Naval Reserves, if the advices from
Washington are to be credited, and
that the North Carolina Battalion
will be ordered to the stations located
on our coast. The stations are to be
built in the latest modern style, and
will be equipped with every appliance
known to military science.
