Them BADLY Strong Club.
w. U. p. don't seem to be winners
this year. After coming here and
getting sound drubbing at the hands
of the local boys, although they had a
number of Uniontown players to help
them, they went down to Uniontown
to play the Athletic club there. The
result was that they got drubbed there
worse than they did here. The score
was Is to 3 and only seven innings
were played. -Four of the University
boys were taken along by w. U. p.
but they did not seem to help matters
much.
The result of the game shows that
we will have to play ball to beat IN
iontown which is certainly a very
strong organization. The University
boys have two games with them on
May 80. A large excursion of stu
dents is expected to go down and wit
ness the game.

THEIR FIRST TRIP.
Base bali team leaves to play three
games away from home.

The West Virginia University
base ball team left this afternoon on
the three ten train on the first trip
of the season. During this trip they
play three games with three first
class teams and the interest here in
the outcome is very great They
have not had chance to show what
they can do on strange grounds yet
this year and until they get
chance at another team away from
here we cannot tell their real
strength. Here they look like top
notchers. We hope that they will
maintain their reputation when they
get away from home.
During the trip they play West
minister College, at New Wilmington,
on Thursday, Grove City College on
Friday and c. A. c. at Braddock, on
Saturday. The University has only
played the last at base ball while
Westminster has been defeated by
us on the gridiron When c. A. c..
was played they were defeated by
the University.
The names of the players taken
along are: Anderson, Lowe, Dent,
Shelby, Mitchell, Pratt, Lewellen,
Whorter, Shad, Whaley aud
Laughed. The team will be accom-
panied through the trip by Mana
ger Sweeney and they will return
home on Sunday morning.

The Editorial Excursion FRIDAY.

1t seems that a great many people
have the impression that the steam
boat excursion on Friday is grand
free for all-free boat, free music,
free lunch, etc. The safest and sur
est way for all such is to wait until
they are invited and supplied with
tickets. After that part of the pre-
liminaries has been arranged pro-
vide yourself with well filled bas-
ket. No free lunch will be served
except to the visiting editors.

HANDLING FUNDS.

The State officers, the Legislature,
County Courts, Town Councils and
all public officials are held response
BILE and required to answer for the
tax payers funds. Therefore, they
have to be more careful in the vot-
ing of funds to Themselves, than if
they en ploy outsiders, where COM
petition prevails, and judgment can
be fairly and not questionably i'm
partial. Directors of Corporations
must answer to the stockholders and
extravagant management of direc-
tors or officials are observed to,
the detriment of the stockholders or
their dividend, somebody gets bounc-
ed. This rule will be found applica-
bic in all affairs Of delegated power.

JOINT DEBATES.

To what end or for what purpose
Joint debates are now to be made
useful, is matter for conjecture
However, it is announced that Gov.
Atkinson and Hon. G. G. Watts, are
by agreement to jointly discuss
the political issue of the day before
the people, at prominent places in
this state. We have no doubt they
will be heard with pleasure by large
audiences, as they are of recognized
ability, skillful as debaters, and re-
putable as orators. What the
trophy, the time of the course or
discourse, the length thereof and the
limit of the distance pole or flag,
have not yet been announced. The
wearing away of the days unto cleo
tion eve, may gradually unfold the
reason and the object.

Each Gets a Ship.

Washington. September l2.-The
Navy Department has arrived al
what it regards as a fair and salts
factory settlement of the question oil
awarding contract for the construc.
ton of the three battleships. When
the bids were opened it was found
that for the first ships desired the
Newport News company was the
lowest, Cramp next, and the Union
Iron Works Just above, all within
the limit of cost fixed by the act oil
congress. 1t was the original plan
to award the contract in that order.
But upon examination of the plans
submitted by the bidders it was found
that the only satisfactory one was
submitted by Cramp, who had simply
taken the alternate plans suggested
by the Navy Department, which
amounted to frightening the hull OF
the ships from Is to 20 feet, in order
to gain room for the more powerful
engine required to drive the ship
at a speed of Isl knots, instead OF
l6 knots, as first proposed. After
considering the subject the board
have invited the Newport News com.
pany and the Union Iron Works to
amend their plans so az to make
their ships identical with that pro-
posed by Cramp. Mr.. Scott, of the
California company, has agreed to
do this already and the representa-
tives of the Newport News company
have verbally agreed to do the same,
80 that it is the understanding that
each of the companies will be given
contract for one ship.

President Mckinley could not be
