SHREVEPORT'S BALL TEAM.

SHREV EPORT'S BALL TEAM.
Shreveport has an excellent
+ base ball team this season. Thi s
is the general opinion of those
who understand the game, and
fine playing. Some, whose judg-
ment in such matters is excellent,
say it is the best this city has ever
had, even excelling Pete Week.
beck er's famous Grays.
Mr.. Guy N. Colgate is the man.
ager, and he seems to the right
man for the position. He is quiet
and pleasant, having little to say.
And this is the kind of man to
manage the modernbase ball club.
The writer saw his first game of
the season last Saturday. OF
course he went in on press badge
and enjoyed the gam hugely. He
knows something about practical
playing, as several distorted finger
joints yet bear testimony.
He was disappointed at the
that such excellent ball should be |
played in Shreveport with mea-
ger gathering to witness it. What
is the matter? Has Shreveport
lost her passion for the play? Our
city used to be a base ball loving
community. Numbers compared,
exceeded by none. Our women
and children, the girls and the boys
understand and enjoy the sport.
Then the question must arise, what
is the matter? This could be &C.
counted for if our team was bad,
or even Indifferent: but this not 4
so. They play professional
ball. The fielding, batting and 1
base running is first-class, while =
the head work is superb.
The team will be home again for 4
play next week. Encourage the
men by your presence.

Since Mark Hanna's election to

years. be feels very big and has
actually taken up his residence in
the White House with Mckinley !.
and occupies one Of the finest rooms
there. Mark has the room that the
Prince Of Wales occupied when he
visited this country. This ia no
joke, but an actual fuct, and il only
shows the cheek of Hanna, who is
really President, as we have all
along claimed, and probably has a
right TO occupy the White House
after all, so he can be handy "a

SCHOOL SUSPENSION.
A Vacancy at Rowicsburs, Owing to
sickness

One OF the prominent citizcns of
Rowlesburg writes us for informa
ton in regard to the duty OF trus-

thc one already employed is unable
TO teach, owing 10 sickness.
One Of the teachers in the Rowls
burg school has been i'll for several
weeks With typhoid icyer. In fact.
only Taught abont siS weeks when
he was compelled TO suspend. aud
that department has bven isIr DOW
for quite awhile. and it will br
some lime yet before the teacher
will be able to proceed. This will
run theascbool iuto warm wcat her
7and greatly Inconvenience many OF
the pupils and patrons. The people
have been insisting that the trus-
tees shonhl employ anorber teacher
and allow the school to go ahead
now when they need it the most,
but the trustees are afraid tn do So.
for fear OF complications or having
10 pay him themselves, etc.
Ii the teacher who has been en-
ployed Is unable to teach. It is
clearly the duty Of the trustees to
engage another teacher and keep
the school going. Or course where
a teacher is only sick a short time
or absent few days, it is not nee
essary to have substitute, but in a
protracted case like this, it looks
like a substitute was a necessity.
The law provides that substitutes
must have certificates, and they
should be the samo grade as those
whose place they Fill. 1t IS not
necessary for tho trustees to make
contract with bstitute, if the
teacher whose place he fills is will.
