CLOSE, BUT NOT EXCITING.
COLUMBIANS BEAT THE COCK
HEyS AT BALL.
This Afternoon the Gilt Edges and
Tresnos TO Play at Snow
fake Park.

A small crowd gathered at Snowflake
Park yesterday afternoon to see the
Columbian and the Cockney teams of
the local Amateur League try each
other out
There were hits, runs and errors
enough to satiate the most hardened
rooter, and though the boys played hard
things wouiud not come right, ami
dead-easy balls were allowed to roll
away at any angle, while the other side
galloped around the bags.
In the first inning the Columblans
We're retired without drawing blood,
while the Cockneys took run for a
starter This made the Columblans
warm under the collar and in their nall
they paced around to the home plate
six times, and took four more IN the
third, and another couple in the hfth.
The Cockneys rounded up three eacn IN
the second, third and fourth innings.
The game was rather long Wlnded
affair, and when it was over and the
players had time to find out where
they were at" it was found that the
Columbians had succeeded in downing
the Cockneys by score OF. Is to II.
GILT EDGES AND FRESNOS.
The baseball contingent Of Sacra-
mento expects to see a warm time at
Snowflake Park this afternoon, when
the Fresno people get on the diamond
and make try for the scalps OF the
Gilt Edges The boys from the vine
yard country are reputed to know all
the points in the game, and should put
up a game which to a Sacramento au-
dienca would be as refreshing as four
days rain.
Fresno is a great baseball town, and
should it's braves hammer out a victory
from the far-famed Gilts, they viii, 1t
is understood, be accorded an ovation
by their constituents when they return,
otherwise they will be accorded "a
something awful.
1t is understood that many of Fres-
nos foremost "cranks" will line the
bleachers and give their team the moral
support of their presence and roofing
implements.
The "Raisin Belters" have in their
ranks nearly the entire aggregation
that last year played with Los Angeles.
Mangerina and Thomas, their battery,
were both with the one-lungers last
year. as were also Held, Courtney, More
and Ferguson They are all fast field
ers and heavy batters.
Doyle and Stanley will officiate as the
battery for the Gilt Edges, While Wall
ter Henesey, better known as the
Duke Of the Diamond will be seen
in his accustomed position at first
1t has been decided by the manage
ment to start the game little later
than usual, on account of the soldier
boys leaving for San Francisco by the
. o'clock train. The game will accord
ingly be called at 2:30 sharp 50 as to
allow those who wish to bid the brave
boys good-by a chance to do so and
still see the baseball game.

Monroe doctrine. At this time there is
a noble patriotic man at the head OF
the Government. He hasshoWn patriot
ism and judgment When he looked
around for leaders for the army, he did
what he thought right and selected for
two of them ex-Confederate Generals.
1t is said by other nations that we are
q nation of politicians. 1t is perhaps
too true. but underlying politics is a
patriotism and loyalty that binds the
people together. We are assembled to
do honor to a man who has achieved
one of the greatest of naval victories.
He believed this victory would bring
about a speedy end to the war. We
have achieved all the glory we want by
it. No country ever had better cause
for war than the United States had
with Spain, and he hoped we would
plant our flag in Cuba.
UNITY OF THE PEOPLE.
T. W. II. Shanahan said that if any
thing in the present conflict did his soul
good it was the unity Of the people OF
the country in this crisis. Some years
ago the civil war had left bad feeling
between the different sections, but to-
day the last vestige of it has vanished
and is wiped out absolutely and the
people trust each other, North South,
East and West. In the battle of New
Orleans General Jackson lost eight men,
while 2,OG0 of the enemy were
killed. Dewey lost none and killed many
of the Spaniards, thus showing his ca
pacity. There can be no halting or
staying in this question, but we must
go on to the end.

OLD GLORY.

(By Francis II. Tabor.-Copyrighte
There's fiag that is known through a
wider domain
Than the conCuering eagle of Rome
A dominion not severed by mountain or
main;
But joined in one glorious home.
And the sleepy sun watches it far in the
north
Where winter its silent court holds,
And the silver set stars in the south land
shine forth
TO tighten its lingering fields.
For our banner may blow in the bitterest
blast,
Or wanton meath tropical sun;
But wherever it's Quivering shadow is cast
The speech and the spirit are one.
And the Stars and the Stripes have been
shredded and shot
On many q terrible field:
But have shown that their colors were
rightly begot
From a nation that knows not to yield.
But though it may toss over conquering
hosts
We fight but that battles may cease.
And we reckon our proudest and noblest
boasts
Are the holier triumphs of peace.
For our flag is the flag of the fearless and
free
To the teaching of liberty true;
So Wen honor and cherish where'er we
may be
The glorious Red, White and Blue.

The Teacher.

One cause Of the low standing of the
teachers calling is lack of extended
professional training. Professions easily
entered are not usually highly respect
ed. The medical profession has been
cited as an illustration. Not long ago,
when one could be a physician without
special training, the profession was not
very highly esteemed. Now, when ex-
tended training Is demanded both by
public opinion and by law, the profes-
SIGN is respected as one of the highest.
In like manner the teaching profession
would undoubtedly increase in favor
were training of high order demand
cd. In fact, we find the respect for the
profession varying in different countries
and in different grades Of the school
system almost in direct ratio to the
education and professional training re
quired of candidates. Forum.

a S1rainea Ankle.

a false s5e5, fall or 4 sudden wrench
is very often the cause of that painful
straining of the fibrous tissue commonly
known as sprain. The ankle is, as
rule, the victimized member. and many
are the tedious hours for which the care
less dispenser of orange peel can be held
accountable. There are several methods
OF treating q sprained ankle, one of
which is strapping the leg from ankle
to knee with adhesive plaster. The
plaster is cut in strips about an inch in
width and of sufficient length to encir
Gle the leg TO within half an inch, the
space being left 10 insure free circula-
tion. This treatment can only be applied
before the leg begins to swell, therefore
within . very short time of the accident.
Recovery by means of the ordinary
treatment, that Of elevating the foot
and having recourse to hot applications,
may be greatly accelerated by scientific
massage. By proper manipulation tho
swelling can be reduced and the pain
lessened in n very short time. If, how
ever, the service of one who thoroughly
understands giving the treatment can
not be obtained, simple rubbing will Of
ten give relief. The rubbing must al
ways be up, not down, and the hands OF
the operator as well as the wounded
limb should be made thoroughly anti
septic before any friction is applied, lest
the secretions of the skin being rubbed
into the pores should be reabsOrbed and
Inflammation increased in the strained

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
The Armies of Europe Havo Various Rules
Regulating 1t.

The restrictive conditions at present in
force with regard to the marriage Of
officers in the Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance i'll the
case of officers under the age of %. Be-
tween the ages of % and IS years the
dot of an officers wife mast amount to
. sum representing the minimum in
come of $50 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same question
III other European armies it may be
noted that in the Austria Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade,
and, these totals being reached, all fur
Their marriages must be deferred pend
ing the occurrence CT vacancies in the
married establishments.
The Italian army regulations, Which
fix the income of the fiancoc a5 mini
mum of from l, 200 to ,, 600 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation. Italian officers, however, APP
ply a somewhat liberal Interpretation 10
this law, with the result that the num-
Der of marriages occurring under actual
provisions does not exceed mere than an
eighth of the total number, seven
eighths of the officers being united I'M
der the conditions of the religious cere-
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to all tho Inconvenience which
attend a marriage not recognized by
civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap-
pear to be incurred by Russian officers,
and suggestions have been made by the
press in Russia that general revision
of the law is becoming necessary. Tho
question is assuming some Importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching Il total number of nearly 30, -

tant classes III the state.-Brooklyn Cit

The Cause of n Wonderful Hit Made by

James Whitco1nb Riley tells a quaint
story of his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye. II WAS the opening Of their
Joint season. They had both been rUsti-
eating during the vacation and were
brown as berries- Nye looked much like
an ,Junsllo in his sunburned make up,
AMI Riley suggested TO him the applica-
tion of some Liquid white, - 4 cosmetic
much affected by the gentler sex Of the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the kind
before he filled the palm of his hand
with it and carefully smeared 1t over
his countenance. There was no mirror
in his primitive dressing room, and
Riley was identifying himself on the
other side of the stage.
The Liquid white" dries out some
what like whitewash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was a
sight to behold. His head looked like u
frosted top piece on a wedding cake.
His face white as the driven snow, was
expressionless and blank. The audience
shrieked, and when he came off from
his first selection they demanded his
reappearance. He Obliged them to bowls
of laughter. Again he mado his exit,
and again was redemanded by the up
roarious audience.
Believing he had made a hit, he was
about to return to the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried, William Edgar Nye, what
have yoa got on your face?''
Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear"
Expression! Fiddlesticksl You're a
fright" cried his wife, and leading
him to where there WAS piece Of broken
looking glass showed him how he
looked.
Nye was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley, just about going on the
stage. he would have undoubtedly fol-
lowed him on and been revengod but
for the intervention of Mrs. Nye
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his next selection was read
without "a hand" from the audience.
