A Suggested Remedy.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
So many complaints have of late been
made of soldiers misrepresenting their
condition and the actual status of affairs
pertsining TO their treatmen by the gov
ernment that it is high time some one
should search for the cause of so much pre-
varication. 1t seems to me these things
would not be of such common occurrence
if there was not cause for them-in other
words, II there was not a premium placed
upon misrepresentation by allowing the
emotions TO run riot with reason. The SOL
der, generally speaking, Is & man of the
world. and is quick TO perceive an advant-
age, especially in cases such as the present
when sympathy for the suffering is almost
universal. People generally, and woman
especially, are so eager to render aid that
they lose sight entirely of the fact that it
is natural in this, the ninet zenith, century
to get all you can, no matter how you
get" If peopis would use more reason in
hestowing their gifts there would be no
complaints. for by extending good judgment
the needy could be easily reached.

ATLANTIC LEAGUE FINISH.
Richmond Leads at the End Of Il
Great Race,

After one of the hottest and best fights
in the history of minor league base ball,
the Richmond Biuebirds won the Atlantic

ing over their closest rivals, Lancaster and
Reading. They made a brilliant finish on
Saturday by defeating Reading twice, the
last game being won in sensational man
Eer by home run, after two men We're out
III the ninth inning.
Richmond's success emphasizes the i'm
portance of having a good manager, for the
clever manager. Jacob Wells. has been a
most important factor in the result.
The Petersburg team won the Virginia
League pennant under his management
some years ago. He gave Richmond re-
spectacle position in the Atlantic League
last year, its first season in that league
and follows it this year by winning the
pennant
Norfolk promised to do well for awhile,
but struck the tob1ggan some weeks ago
ana ended a hopeless tailender.
The Richmond champions are as follows

pitals, however, will be at Havana. 1t
will be built just as soon as our troops are
sent to the island. l do not know what
they have in the city in the shape of hos

would want to take any of their infected
buildings for hospitals for our soldiers"

on the commission requested by Secretary
Alger to investigate the conduct of the
Spanish American war, giving as a reason
his unstable health.
