PLAYED HORSE WITH THEN
Portland Team Defeated Rotkland
With Ease.
1T WAS SCIENCE PITTED AGAINST
ROUGHNESS AND DASH.

Science Had Much the Best of the Ar
demonstrating of Maine League
Called for Friday--Notes.
John Smith and his men came to Port
land last night to win game from the
best polo team in America.
They tried it on for three periods and
were defeated with an ease which the
score does not show. The crowd was crazy
with delight at the exhibition of the
home team and showed more enthusiasm
than they have displayed so far this
season.
1t was very easy thing for John Smith
and his men in the first two periods.
Smith himself was playing at half back
while PheIan was in the goal The
captain of the r ocklands is good player
in this position and he certainly put VI
a fine article of polo during the entire
game. Phelan did well in the goal but II
was battle between half backs and
oenters mostly and the sphere was not al
lowed to approach either goal very often.
Such blocking as Turnbull and Mckay,
Smith and Fitzgerald did and the speed
OF the rushers was worth going a good
ways to see.
Rockland got two goals in the first
period and Portland had not scored, al.
though~it looked as if they were working
hard to Gage the ball. .sWhy don't they
play polof' exclaimed the excited fans in
the crowd, but the first period ended
without the home team getting the bal
inside the netting.
Then came the second period which was
full Of exciting plays in which some fine
work was done by both sides, the defense
of Rookland being especially worthy Of
mention. In this period Portland got only
one goal and the Rocklands sJill lei.
rWhy don't they do something?"
Well they did in the last period. When
tie gong sounded the Portland men went
at the ball like fiends Such passing haf
never been seen here before The Rock
land rushers could not come within strik'
ing distance of the ball. Phelan was kept
busy for this period kicking the shots out
Oh Dn6 goal, Wits sJonH pluiuu acUuhuy
did some hard work for about fifteen
minutes Captain Mckay and his men
simply played horse with the visitors.
After the beginning of the last period the
Rocklands were not in the game for q
min1te. 1t was ludicrous to waJch the
ease with which the Portlands scored
their goals. The crowd got excited and
screamed with delight when by clever
manoeuvering the Portland men kept the
ball out of the hands of the Rockland
players 1t was science against Indiar
dash and roughness and science won.
Portland has without doubt the bes
polo team in this state and there canno
be many better in the country. Tht
lovers of clean polo playing are making {
mistake by not vii Messing some of these
contests which are always exciting
though the home team usually wins

Inmate of Industrial Institute
Makes Full Confession.
HER MIND WAS UNBALANCED
Set Papers and Records on Fire in Presidents
Office and hen She Made Another
Intellectual Attempt to Fire
the Fourth Floor
Special to The Age-Herald.

Columbus, Miss, April 12-The lines of
the Industrial Institute and College for
White Girls are not cast in pleasant places.
With the biennial appropriation hanging on
q slender thread in the state supreme court,
an additional misfortune in the shape of
two attempts to fire the building from the
inside confronts them.
About $50 last Friday evening, an alarm
of fire was turned in and there was gerat
excitement in the streets when 1t was
learned that the alarm came from the col
lege. This blaze was in the Office of the
president, among some papers. The fire
was extinguished before the arrival of
the fire department and before any damage
had been done. AS the president had no
fire in his Office that day it was impossible
to account for it's origin and suspicion was
at once aroused This suspicion was JUS
titled when w. L. Gardner, chief of the
fire department called the attention of the
proctor to scratches on his safe where
matches were thought to have been struck
A Sure Incendiary
On yesterday fire was again discovered in
the building. This fire was started in the
fourth floor of the dormitory, near the
room for physical culture. One of the pu-
pills discovered the fire and gave the alarm
This fire was also extinguished before any
damage had been done. After an investi-
cation, full confession was made by
student that she had made both attempts
to burn the building. 1t is thought by
students and faculty that the mind of the
young girl was temporarily unbalanced by
Inconsistencies and dissatisfaction. The girl
was sent home at once. There was great
excitement among the student body at
first, but the acting president informed
your correspondent that he thought no fur

ate occurrence. The young lady was

1t is their purpose to have the old house
torn down or moved away. The building
cam therefore, Be SECURED and it is hoped
by the ladies to have it wheeled away TO
another location and used for the purpose
of a confederate soldiers home. With
slight additions and improvements tne
building will be admirably suited for the
purpose.
The sentiment that attaches to 1t by rea-
son of past association, makes the Daugn-
ters of the Confederacy in this city espe-
cially anxious to secure the building Tor the
purpose indicated.
The first definite step in the direction OF
securing the home was taken few weeks
ago, WIN the ladies composing the local
chapters of the Daughters of the Conted-
eracy inaugurated a movement to raise
funds for the purchase of the building by
arranging an elaborate entertainment OF
the Kirmess variety, to be given in THIS city
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the
thirteenth and fourteenth inst. The prepar-
atoms for the affair are very elaborate.

the city will take part in the various dances
and the patronesses of the affair are among
the leading people, socially, of the city
Dilligent preparation has been made by all
of the participants, and the entertainment
promises to be really a superb one. 1t is
confidently hoped and believed that it Will
net sum, perhaps, equal to half the
amount necessary for the purchase of the
building. In the event it should, there is a
possibility that the participants may give
the production in Birmingham some
other city
Mrs. Charlie Abercrombie, a handsome
young matron, will be the charming queen
of the carnival.
1t is believed that the success of the en-
tertainment will stimulate the other chap
tiers to an effort in tn same direction, and
If as much energy and talent will be shown
by the Daughters of the ConfedeTacy in
Birmingham, Mobile Huntsville, and in one
or two other cities of the state, enough
money will be secured in the next two or
three months to buy the confederacy's old
white house, and place it on an imposi ing
site at Highland Park or some other de-
sirable portion of the city.

eracy are using every effort now to secure
a state home for INDECENT and helpless con-
federate veterans. The state association
has had the project on foot for a good
many months, but not until the present
time has it taken any tangible form.
The white house of the southern confed-
eracy, handsome and commodious frame
structure of the olden style, is located in
this city on the corner of Bibb and Lee
streets. 1t was the home of President JEFF
ferson Davis during the time that the seat
of the confederat government was in this
city, and it was in the parlors of the hand
some old mansion that the first reception
to the confederate president was held the
occasion being on the eve of his inaugu. a
ton. For a great many years the old house
has been used a boarding house. 1t has
been, very naturally, cons derably abused
and neglected, but still possesses much of
it's former grandeur and outward attrac-

Doctors could do nothing for me, and
Jhey could not cure me at the hospital.
will tell you about it:
l had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and RECOMMENDED Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said I would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.--MRs. B. A. LoxBA1D.
