ball team struggle on the Island ball park

isting between these towns, both IN

miles distant, has resulted in each Sc

teams, all being paid handsome salaries.
Both Greensburg and LatrObe wanted a
whack ait Wheeling here next Saturday,
but Dr. J. f. Mitinger, of the former
town, beat out the manager of Latrobe,
Editor D. j. Berry, of the Latrobe Clip
per, his telegram reaching Wheeling first,
an hour ahead of the Latrobe dispatch
Greensburg was promptly wired to come
but even had Latrobe wired first, 1t IS
a case of horse and horse as to which
is the finer team. Arrangements will be
made to-day to boom the game with a
vengeance, for the locals are under great
expense in bringing such high-priced
collection here; but it is very certain that
good patronage will reward the enterprise

FLA,SCO AT FULTON.
Not Enough Money Was in Sight for
Buck" StelZer.

The entertainment by the Metropoli-
tan Club, in Fulton, was a flasco, due
to the slim attendance. The pro-
gramme was carried out until the
main event was reached. Jennings
and Kurtz fought four uninteresting
rounds, and Hughen and Rainer gave
a tame exhibition.
The crowd by this time had not
reached such proportions as to satisfy
the contestants in the principal bout.
"Tugger" Ryan announced that the
club had decided to postpone the con-
test for one week. Then the hundred
spectators wanted their money re-
turned. The decision of the officials
was that the strangers should remain
and get their money while the city peo-
pie would be given tickets for next
Tuesday night. This was unfortunate.
Nobody moved. All were strangers"
apparently.
The clamor became worse, and the
statement was made that the ticket
seller had gone to the city with the
receipts. Some OF the sports proposed
to raise a purse for Stelzer and
Wango The latter was willing, but
Stelzer wanted 5000, whereupon those
who suggested this plan, fell in a
faint
One stranger said he had driven
twenty miles to a station, and then
travelled eighty-seven miles by rail to
see the fight. He was given a pass for
Tuesday night, and will remain until
that time.
The crowd made all kinds of threats,
including the burning Of the club
house, but finally adopted the wise
course of accepting the best thing
offered them-tickets for next Tues
day night.

press himself on the question for
public interest, said;

that | see no reason to change the
views in regard to expanding the

Another gentleman was caught
last night in a side door pullman on
the rip-track and he was registered
at the hobo hotel as Brigader Cen
eral Adcock and brought out this
morning and put on trial as a
"vag." He acknowledged he was
asleep IN the car and also said he
did not own the car or the track on
which it was standing or did he
have a deed to the ground on which
the track was built, and it made
him a dead sure tresspasser if not a
vagrant. Recorder Murphy did
not know the General had a bank
roll on the inside of his coat pocket
and when he made his lodging and
breakfast bill he was modest and
placed after the dollar mark, thus
"$8. so, and expected next to see
the fellow shoveling dirt out of some
choked up ditch, but the General
surprised the coult by pulling out
his roll and settling up in full, re.
marking that he was from Hot
Springs and was glad to be back in
a country where hotel bills were
not so large and intimated before
he left the court, that perhaps he
would remain another night or two

UNCLE SAM
Gov. Taylor Presents Glowing Pic
ture of the Old Gentleman,

Governor Bob Taylor, in present
ing flag to the Fourth Tennessee
at Knoxville, drew this picture of
Uncle Sam:
THE most striking and pictur-
esque figure in all history is the tall
figure of lean, sinewy old man
with long hair and chin whlskers,
and wearing an old-fashioned plug
hat. His pataloons are in stripes
of white and red and his blue swal-
low-tailed coat is bespangled with
stars. lie is the personiication of
the United States, and We call him
! Uncle Sam.
"He is a composite of the wild cat
and cooling dove-the lion and the
lamb, the thunder storm and the
summer evenings last sigh that
shuts the rose. He is the embodi-
ment of all that is tender and all
that is most terrible. The world
stands appalled, at his wonderful
power, and bows IN admiration OF
his matchless magnanimity He is
the tallest individual on this mum
dane sphere, and when he steps
across this continent and sits down
on Pixies peak and snorts in his
handkerchief of red, white and blue
the earth quakes and the mouarchs
tremble on their thrones.
"From the peaceful walks of life
he can mobilize a mighty army in
sixty days, and in ninty days he
can destroy a mighty navy and de-
molish an empire. He is the boss
of the western hemisphere, sheriff
of Cuba, Justice of the peace at
! Porto Rico and guardian adlitem Of
the Philippine islands, He is as
brave as Caesar and meek as Moses.
"He is as fierce as a tiger and
cool as a cucumber. He wears the
fall feathers of the eagles of France
in his hat and the scalp OF Mexico
4 in his belt. He laughs at the roar
of the Russian bear; and is always
ready for a schooner of German
beer. All that is left of Spain is
her "honah" since her combat with
Uncle Sam. No longer the lion OF
England roars at our door, but the
twain now stand together for liberty
and humanity.
"Oficers and soldiers of the
Fourth Tennessee volunteers, you
are part of the body-guard OF
Uncle Sam, and in the name OF
seventy million of his nephews and
nieces and especially in the name OF
his favorite kinfolks in this beautl-
full city, l present you this flag.
Behold its beautiful colorsl The
red-lipped girls of Tennessee have
kissed if, and 10! these crimson
stripes, They have pressed it to
their innocent hearts, and 10! these
stripes are snow Your mothers
and wives and sisters and sweet
hearts haye looked upon it and
they sanctifed it with their prayers
and blessing, and 10! this azure field
of radiant stars, the symbols of
hope and of love, the tokens of
truth and loyalty, Take these
gorgeous colors from these loving
hands, and God bless you"

eat things which were never intend
