not SO generally known that North 81,

to leave home every morning directly
after breakfast with his pockets full Of
bread crumbs and rock candy. He

he never forgot those bread crumbs.
At sight Of him thc birds would fly
toward him. There were rot so many
sparrows then as now, bur sometimes
hundreds OF them would hutter about
him. lie has often been seen sitting
there quietly with the little birds
perched on his hat and shou,dess.
When the birds had collected he
would bring cut his store Of bread

The rock candy he kept for children

Dear Sir
Your valued favor of March 1st,
is before me and in reply thereto viii
say that | would be glad to add the
names Of any persons handling land
in your county, or in Sequachee
Valley, who will undertake to show
it to emigrants free of charge and
ask them the same price for the land
that they would sell it to their neigh
bOrs. In other words we want to
send emigrants to men who are hon
oraole enough not to take advantage
of them and make them all satisfied.
If you can name such a man at
once with his address forward it t.
me and it will probably be here IN
time to be added to list in a work
| am now printing.
may add that two or three years
ago | sent my son up Sequachee
Valley to try to get some cOopera-
ton in reference to immigration but
he failed utterly to do so, If you
can make such arrangements for me
l should be glad to direct emigrants
to that part of our line. I have sent
a good many up the valley but as
they had no special person to take
charge Of them, they we're at loss
to know where to find what they de-
sired.
Yours truly,

Record of the Clubs.

The race for the championship of the base
ball season of 1898 virtually closed yester-
day, so far as first place is concerned, the
victory of the Boston men over the Sem
| ators by IA to and the defeat of the ORR
oleS by the alleged giants from New York
giving the pennant to the champions again.
On the part of the Washington men yester-
days game was about as sorry a spectacle
as could be imagined, the errors charged
up against the local players in the official
score failing to give much of idea of the
of which they were guilty. AS disguised
individual in the bleachers remarked:
Say, dose fellers wouldn't never be run in
for playin base ball"
The champions played a practically error
less game, a dropped fly by Captain Duffy
being the only error charged up against
them, while they batted Baker all over the
tnclosure, although many of the hits were
que to the rank playing OF their opponents.
twenty hits, including four doubles and
two triples, fattened the batting record of
the Boston men, while five singles, a triple
by Baker and Il double by Smith were all
the Senators secured off "Parson' Lewis.
Up to the fourth inning, when the score
stood to / in favor of the champions, the
contest was a rather interesting one but
IN their half of the inning seven hits and
lnnuT1erabIe errors on the part of Casey
Sataas and Smith sent nine men from the
Hub across the plate. After that the Wis.,
1tors took life very easy, but the Senators
insisted that they score twice more, and
the Boston men returned the compliment by
permitting four Washington men to score.

PENSION FRAUDS.
Joseph Hawkins Filed n False
Claim.

Joseph Hawkins has been convicted in
the United States district court at Balti-
more on charge of forgery, perjury and
the filing of false claim against the gov
ernment of the United States in connection
with his application for pension filed in
1897, in which he alleged that he had serv-
ed in Company E, Both United States Col
ored Infantry.
In support of this application he filed the
genuine discharge certificate which was Is
sued to William Simpson. a private who
had served in said organization, and which
had been altered in Hawkins own hand
writing for the purpose Of showing tnat ne
performed the alleged service.
There were five members of the company
who testified most positively that they had
never seen Hawkins before and had never
served with such a man. as well as camula-
tive evidence to show that the forged GER
tif1cate was originally issued to William
Simpson and that Simpson had been fund
dead in boat in the Tired Avon river. Md,
in 1891.
According to the testimony for the de-
Tense II is apparent that Hawkins was only
two. or at the most, three years old on the
date of his alleged enlistment.
Joseph 7. Gibson was held by United
States Commissioner Rodgers at Baltimore
for the action of the United States grand
jury on charge of having used the United
States mails for the purpose of defrauding
Philip Bell of Hartley, Baltimore county,
Md.
According to the testimony of Mr.. Bell
and his neighbors, Gibson represented that
he would obtain a pension for the man,
though he was only cook. and obtained
some thirty odd dollars from HIM for his
pretended services, giving to his victim a
check which. according to the written line.

stated in figures. was for 1870. purporting
to have been drawn by S. e. Evans on

OUT In THE COLD.
Tim Hurst Said to Be No Longer St
Louis Manager.

LOuls Manager.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tim Hurst is very unpopular with the
members of his team One of the Browns,
and, by the way, one of the most valuable
members of the team. told an intimate
friend in this city the last time the Browns
were here that the team would play better
ball under some other manager. According
to this player Hurst is entirely too free in
distributing profanity and billingsgate.
He talks to us much like the mate Of a
river boat does to a gang Of roustabouts,"
said the player in question. He would
have been hooked up with one or more
players in a finish scrap long before this if
the players were not afraid of being black
listed for hitting him. Why, he's got the
gang scared to death of him."
The Chicago 1nter-Ocean insists that Tim
has already given DIP his job as manager of
the Browns. In yesterdays issue it says:
The roly-poly figure and fine Irish accent
of Sir Timothy Hurst We're missing features
of the games with St. Louis Saturday and
Sunday, but nobody knew why. The real
reason was that Timothy had no business
in Chicago, as he hadn't been manager of
the mound city team for a week. At pres-
ent he is down in ST. Louis engineering
outlaw bicycle races at Athletic Park"
1t Is a certainty that he will have moth
ing to do with the Browns next year, even
should the proposed deal to transfer the
Cleveland team to St. Louis fall through.
Tins best friends, and he has many of
them who wish him well, cannot say that
he has been startling success as a man
ager and besides he was extremely unpop-
ular with his players. 1t is said on good
authority that when he asked Muckenfuss
for his release as manager not a man on
the team was on speaking terms with him.
In all probability next season will see Tim
back on the diamond calling balls and
strikes. He stands well with Young and
can have appointment II he wants 1t.
AS for a new St. Louis manager, there Is
already talk in that city regarding Lave
Cross capabilities Tor that precarious and
thankiesS job.

Special reports from United States Con-

az Chefoo Just made public by the State De-

Consul Fowler puts It:
The value of United States exports IN
Sffna Is greater than that of all continental
Europe and the Russias, European and
Asiatic"
His figurss show that last year this ex
cess amounted to S3202Sl. But these fig
Cres. he says, are entirely too small for
owing to the Chinese method Of keeping
treasury statistics, large proportion of
the goods coming from the United States
are entered ss from other countries. Con-
sui johnson says that kerosene no longer

United States to China. Cotton goods is
now the most valuable line of trade. and

INTERCITY ceNTEsTs.
Proposed Athletic League to Include
Washington and Baltimore.

From the Baltimore Sum-
AS the result of discussion between
Baltimore and Washington athletes after
the Columbian games last Saturday, an
lntercity league Of athletic clubs may hold
games this fall or next spring.
1t was urged last Saturday by Baltimore
ans that since our athietes~were carving
off four-fifths OF that days prizes, a return
trial should be given the Columbia Athletic
Club, and 1t was suggested by a Hopkins
man that an intercity league be formed of
all good clubs in this state and the District
or Columbia. 1t is said that there Is no
question that such league, through its
broad interests. would do more for the ex-
pansion of athletics in this section of the
country than anything hitherto projected.
The proposed plan to form such league
with two sets of games, one here and one
in Washington in the spring and fall. has
been enthusiastically received by the Hop
kinS track and field management and by
Coach William NJ. Mackdermott, who have
promised to do their utmost to put the plan
into practice.
An effort will probably be made to extend
the Maryland Athletic Union to the District
of Columbia, and if this is not done it is
likely that the Hopkins University will
take the initiative in making the dual ar
rangement.
