GEoRGFTOWN'S GALA WEEK.
Play Lehiah Tomorrow, Yale Thurs.
day and Princeton Saturday.

This promises to be one of the gala
weeks in Georgetown 'Varsity's long list
of games with leading college baseball
teams. Few college teams have so at
tractive a number of games as have been
scheduled by Manager Head for the Blue
and Gray team.
After winning three straight games,
Georgetowns nine will lineup tomorrow
afternoon, on Georgetown Field with its
old foe, Lehigh College, by whose team
ii was defeated last year after hard
fought game. Conditions are somewhat
changed this season, as Georgetown has
a much stronger team than when the
mines played their last game and the
contest tomorrow viii be hot one from
start to finish. Capt. Mccarthy has not
yet decided whether Bache, the star
twirler, the new phenom, Dowd, will
occupy the rubber. 1t is possible he may
give both a chance to help down Lehigh.
His team is in excellent shape and put
ting up as good game now as many
teams play a month later.
On Thursday Yale's crack nine will be
here for it's annual game, and it is within
the bounds of possibility that with
Georgetown in good shape, the local boys
will duplicate their victory of last year
over the sons OF 'Old ELL Playing two
such strong mines in succession Will be
the best kind of test of Georgetown's
ability.
After a rest-up on Friday, the Blue and
Gray will again take the field against
one of the strongest of college mines.
and that is the one from Princeton. Last
year the Tigers were handily defeated by
Georgetown and the sons of Nassau hope
to square themselves and wipe out old
scores on Saturday next and again on
the following Monday. anuaa
These great attractions on the diamond
will no doubt prove strong drawing cards
and it is expected that the capacity of
the new grand stand and the bleechers
will be tested. large number of I-e-
! highs sons have arranged to attend the
game tomorrow in body, and their
roofing will be feature Of the game.
All games at Georgetown Field begin at
4 o clock.

Fin de Steele Bull Fighting.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
The trumpet sounded three times.
The great gates, moving automati-
cally, swung open as the director gen
eral pressed a button. The immense
audience was as silent as death. A mo-
ment later the bull galloped heavily in
to the arena. He was accompanied by
a stray odor Of gasoline, and leaked
steam a little at his neck joints. Guild
ed by the revolving steering apparatus
he plunged rhythmically about the cir
Gle blowing shrill toot through his
tin nostrils.
Again the trumpet sounded, the doors
opened and the matador whirled into
view. He was mounted on SO model
wheel, and flew about the inclosure
like a nickle- plated bird. He was arm
e1 with a Roman short sword and his
garb was that of a Grecian wrestler.
Three times he whizZed about the
arena, carefully avoiding the bull.
Then he switched to the right, came
back to the left, and dashed fiercely at
the bogus bovine. a yell of approval
arose from the crowd as his short
sword sought the bulls steaming vi
tails. But the sword slipped on the iron
plates, the point caught in joint and
the matador was thrown heavily
against the animal. He stretched out
his hand to save himself and then drew
it back hastily.
"Goldarnit,7 he yelled as he crammed
his fingers into his mouth. He had
burned himself severely on the brute's
sizzling flank.
Say, you" he yelled as he faced the
director general, Tn going to sue this
dingblasted hippodrome for heavy
damages, Yes / am. You amt got no
right to turn that brute loose without
coverin' him with asbestos. /"
He would have said more, but at that
moment the bull came charging round
the circle, and ran him down. and went
over him and continued its headlong
career.
Then the matador was mad.
He picked up his fallen sword, right
ed his wheel, leaped into the saddle,
and was after the beast like whirl-
wind. AS he caught up with it ne
leaned forward, gave one swift thrust,
there was a gust of steam, a sharp ex>
piosion, and the bull rolled over heavl-
ly and was still.
There was a wild roar of applause
at the conclusion Of which the director
general arose and shouted:
Don Pedro Perkins wins the scrap
in four-forty- two"
Then the victor. still bowling TO the
applauding throng wiped the steam
from his sword and gracefully with

ToUGHs ATTACK A POLICEMAN.
Determined That Horace Smith
Should Not Be Arrested.

Policeman Brennan was handled pretty
roughly by q lot OF toughs on Grant
Avenue on Saturday night and narrowly
escaped being seriously injured. He had
a warrant for the arrest of Horace Smith
who was wanted for gambling and went
to the house where he lived about 2
o'clock on Sunday morning to look for
him.
When Brennan knocked at the door
Eugene Smith Horaces brother, put his
. head out OF the window and ordered
Brennan away with the warning that
If he came into the house he would
fix him. Brennan had previously pro-

of whom aided in trying to prevent the
arrest of Smith.
The whole gang was finally overcome
by the police and taken TO the Ninth Pre-
cinct, and Yesterday the three leaders,
Eugene Smith, John Maubly and James
Smith, were sentenced to pay fines OF
$40 or serve term Of sixty days in jail.

Interstate Commerce Commission.


The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday announced it's decision in the
case Of Savannah Bureau Of Freight and
Transportation against the Charleston
and Savannah Railway Company, IN an
opinion by Chairman Knapp.
Passenger fares on the Charleston and
Savannah Railway between Savannah,
Ga, and points 81 South Carolina
exceed the combined State rates now in
force, but most Of them, Including the
fare between Savannah and Charleston.
are less than the sum OF State rates in
effect prior 10 the South Carolina statute
of March g. 1896, which limits passenger
fares IN that State 10 il cents per mile
unless otherwise provided by the State
Railroad Commission. and abrogates a
special rate Of cents a mile provided
ior this railway IN an act of 1884. The
interstate fare between Savannah and
Charleston Is equal to 3.S25 cents per mile.
Round trip tickets between Savannah and
Charleston, limited TO ten DAYS. are sold
By the railway for s., or about cents d
mile. The conditions governing local pas
scuger traffic IN South Carolina on the
Charleston and Savannah Railway and
those applying on the interstate passen-
ger serEice OF that railway between Sa-
Nannah and Charleston are substantially
dissimilar.
The commission decides that the Fed
eraI statute contains no provision under
which the interstate fares must necessar-
iiy be reduced because the South Carolina
mileage rate was lowered by the State
act Of March 9, 1886. or be varied accord
ing TO different mileage rate which NAV
be fixed by the State commission: and
that the interstate passenger fares Of the
Charleston and Savannah Railway be-
tween Savannah, Ga, and points in South
carolina are not unlawful upon the evi-
dence IL This case.

other Islands to Lose.

(From the Lynchburg News)
The destiny of the Island of Porto
Rico is bound up with that of Cuba.
If the insurgents should succeed in
winning independence, or if American
intervention should wrest Cuba from
Spain, the Spanish tenure of Porto Rico
would be precarious indeed. There are
already reports of trouble in that ISL
and, and it is rumored that the Viz
caya is about to be dispatched thither
to strengthen the hands of Spanish
officials. Evidently, Spain has more at
stake txan the possession of Cuba. If
she loses that island, she will have to
retire from the West Indies, and if the
loss is effected by the action of the
United States, the Philippines will
share the fate of Spains American pos
sessions. If there is any real states
manship in Spain, it should manifest it
self in avoiding a conflict with the
great American Republic. which would
inevitably end disastrously for the
