THREE INNINGS AND A TIE.
CAROLS and City Postoffice Basket
ball Tennis PIny to N Draw

One of the most exciting games of bas-
ketball in the National League series was
played last night in Carroll Institute gym
nasium by the CAROLS and the city post
office teams, and after three hard-fought
innings the contest resulted in a tie, the
score standing to 2.
There was very little passing done, both
teams resorting early in the game to
blocking tactics. DAILY scored the Car
rolls only goal on a pretty toss from field
in the first half In this half the letter
carriers scored on two free throws by
Ogle. Neither side scored in the second
half. On the play-off in an extra inning.
according TO the rule, the excitement was
so high on account of a questionable de-
cision in regard to what seemed very
rough playing on one side that the game
was stopped and the captains of the re-
spectfve teams agreed To play off the
game at some future time. In the alb
scnce of a regular league umpire, mem

WITH THE BOXERS.

The National Athletic Club of San
Francisco IS said to be making an effort
to get Peter Maher to fight Sharkey.
The National is the concern that has
gained the reputation of fixing fights in
Sharkey's interest. Maher probably has
little doubt of his ability TO settle Shar-
key He did il once and he evidently
feels he could do 1t again. But If the
things said about this San Francisco
Club are true he would not be likely TO
get decision on Sharkey unless he killed
him. and a $4,000 purse would hardly
pay for such job. Maher will probably
think long and hard before ne fights
Sharkey before the National He should
do so if her has his own interests at
heart.

A RACE of mental and moral pigmies
seems to have succeeded the men that
built the present Republic of France
on the ruins Of the last empire. The
utter decentralization of French politics
appears in all the incidents and de-
velopments of the Dreyfus case. In
the majority of Frenchmen administer
ing the affairs of France manliness and
conscience have disappeared, and in
trigue and corruption have usurped
their places. In the recent events and
doings in France is an echo from the
times of the last of the Louises. The
Esterhazys and Patty du CLAIMS are a
nest of rats infesting a noble ship, a
grief and modification to the friends
and we'll wishers Of splendid land.
Here and there is monument of pub
lie virtue, and France may yet be
brought back to her better self, the re-
public vindicated and saved. M. Bris-
son, the premier, has stood up man.
fully and pleaded eloquently for re-
vision in the Dreyfus case, and by his
eloquence and invective wrung consent
from a hostile cabinet. May President
Faure show himself just man and a
fearless patriot by making effective his
minister's hard-earned victory.

Meyer, Va. The battery which he
commanded has been named after him
and will be 80 known hereafter in the
regular army to which it belonged.
This war has brought sorrow into
many homes, but few, II any, have been
stricken more previously than the home
of the Caprons. The husband and two
sons were in the regular army. One
of them was ill with typhoid fever in
the Washington barracks when the
news of the death of the other came
home to the mother. Now the father
OF the boys have died. A third son
had previously died in the service. The
wives and mothers of the army should
have the sincere sympathy of the whole
nation. Mrs. Capron may find conso-
lation in the thought that her son and
her husband gave their lives to free the
oppressed, but, alas, that does not re.
store them to her.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Cuba's Future.

Congosto, Secretary-General of the
authnomist government that never
governed anything has been talking to
for the future of Cuba. He does not
see how the problem can be solved ex-
cept by the immigration TO the island of
four or five million people.
Very we'll. Even that is easily posi-
BILE. Cuba is very rich and in many
other ways very desirable island for
men to settle in. There has been very
little immigration in the past, simply
because under Spanish misrule proper
ty and life have been very insecure,
taxation has been excessive, govern
ment has been arbitrary and oppressive,
and a stupid lack of sanitation has
made the cities of that country pest
holes.
American rule, which must in any
event continue for considerable peri
cd, will cure all that. 1t will give alb
solute security to life and property. 1t
will make taxation uniform and reas-
enable. 1t will abolish all forms of
military or other autocracy. Finally,
it set our Warnings to clean streets,
build sewers and convert the pesti-
lence.ridden towns into as healthful
places of residence as any in the Brit
ish or Dutch West Indies or any in our
own southern states. Immigration will
be easy then and Cuba will offer irres-
istable temptations to the enterprising
to seize upon its promise of wealth and
to make fulfilment Of it.-New York

tia and Garnica. Perhaps it might be
well to chalk them down.-Boston

The story that Germany is secretly
arming the Philippine rebels and plot
ting with Aguinaldo to resist our occu.
patton of the Philippine Islands would
be unworthy of notice if it were not
for the fact of our government sending
an additional force of 5000 troops TO
reinforce General Merritt and two bat
tle-ships to reinforce feet that has no
naval enemy in sight.
An insurance company has applied
to the Maine State authorities for in
formation as to the number of persons

were thirteen fatal shooting accidents
in the Maine woods in 1897.
