The Boston Boomers base ball club
played II game against a picked.up

able, being dusty and windy, had no
terrors for the throng VINO wcnded
their way to the grounds located in
Outhwaitc's pasture, TO see the dainty
damscls of the diamond chase the
lleeting spheroid over the gently undu-
lating prairie. A grand stand and wall
canvas to enclose the grounds, which
the bloomer club carries with them,
had been erected, and To tell the ruth
the grounds presented a very cityiied
appearance. The bloomer girls how
eyer we're the center OF attraction, not
certainly on account of their good looks
for they were all evidently hid behind
the door when the good looks were
given out-and also shapes. From the
tall slim one with the long flowing
locks which gathered Nebraska's fertile
soil among them, to the midget with
the short curly hair who looked like
she had been pushed through a brush
heap backwards, they all presented
pretty much the same appearance in
their red striped bloomer suits, which,
when the wind happened to catch just
right, would fill up and make them
present the appearance Of a stuffed
toad or an inflated lady at a dime
museum. But they showed the crowd
OF spectators that they knew some
thing about the essential part Of base
ball, and that they could kick as hard
as the average man. This was espec-
tally true of the im.catcher who came
with the boomers, and from whom the
kicks came numerous and strong, and
to which the umpire paid very little
attention. At the last half OF the ninth
inning the score stood two to four in
favor of the boomers, and the Red
Cloud boys at bat. After TWO more
scores had been made, making the
game a tie and only one out, the him
catcher of the she-male club proceeded
In the usual mode to kick up a row and
get mad, and vow and declare that he
would not play any more unless he 60,
Justice from the umpire, but we guess
he was afraid the boys would make an.

the bloomers-if they had any. In
about a minute matters had assumed
An American.Spanish aspect, and every
she male in short pants had her favor
tie weapon, anything from a hat-pin to
a base ball bat, and was ready for the
fray. Luckily cooler heads persuaded
them to shutup, and the the boomers
together with the h~im'catcher, were
finally loaded into the hack and start
ed for their special car at the depot,
all SO mad that the breath was coming
in short pants, like a dog on a hot day
The bloomers went from here to Su'

Deafness Cannot be G
Sincerely yours,
w. E. WATERS.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you hear a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

COLORED SCHOOLS.

The colOred schools are causing the
most trouble to the members of the
Legislature, for that is hard question
to dispose of to suit the average lower
Delawarean. Under the old plan the
cOlOred schools in the State got Just
what the General Assembly said they
should have, and the county superin-
tendent was the boss of the situa-
ton He ruled the colored schoOlsab
sOlutely. Under the new constitution
the cOlOred schools must be treated in
the same manner as the white schools.
The question which the members of
the Legislature have been considering
is how to keep the colored people out
of the white school board. The plan
of Mr.. Ridgely was to allow the col
Ored people to vote for the sub-district
commissioner of their district or sub
district, as it is called, and the white
people to vote for their commissioners.
This appears to be fair to all concern
ed, but the Democrats found that this
would make cOlOred members of the
district school commission, which is
composed of the commissioners from
the sub-districts, and they did not
want it. AS matter of fact, however
it appears that they will have to agree
to the plan for the constitution of the
United States will not allow any dis
elimination. Had previous general as
semblies treated the cOlOred schools fair
ly there would not have been such a
clause placed in the constitution.

LEVY COURT BILLS.

The Kent and Sussex county Levy
Court bills may be both considered
during the coming week. They are
alike, both providing for ten commits
siOners. Those who are back of the
bill claim that such a system is cheaper
than the bills which were first drawn
providing for but five commissioners.
The five commissioner bills provided
for road supervisors, ten in all, for
each county. The new bills provide
that the Levy Court commissioners
shall themselves take care of the roads.
The registration bill is in the hands
of the Senate, and there is likely to be
one or two more in the House before
the week is over. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the two houses will pass the
bill which has been prepared by J.

CORPORATION ACT.

There has been considerable oppo-
sitiOn expressed to the bill on account
of it giving the state the power to grant
charters, but gives him no discretion
in the matter. If the proposed corpOr-
ators conform to certain conditions he
is compelled to grant the charter.
Then it will be left to the courts to de-
eide whether that charter shall stand.
This is considered to be very grave
responsibility placed on the secretary
of state.

Corn planting time is approaching,
and perhaps this more than anything
else and the raps over the knuckles, so
to speak, of the press of the State for
their fruitless and long session, has
actuated the Legislature to think of
time for adjOurning. At least a Dover
correspondent of a Wilmington paper
says so. The correspondent thus
wrote for Saturdays paper:
There is indication that when the
members of the General Assembly re-
sumo their sessions here next week
that the matter of adjournment will be
talked and something done toward
fixing the date. Most of the important
bills which must be considered by the
Assembly have now been prepared and
1t will not take many weeks to consider
them.
The amendments to the school bill
have been placed in the hands of every
member of the House. The bill as
drawn at present is gaining friends
every day, and there is every chance
that it will pass in some shape, which
will be similar to what it is now in.
The bill has attracted considerable at
tentiOn for the reason that it is some
thing new. 1t provides a school sys-
TEN, something which Delaware has
never had, and which many of those
who have been in the habit of running
| the schools to suit themselves do not
| want. There has been considerable
opposition to the bill from a number
of sources, but most of them have been
met by Henry Ridgely, Jr,, who drew
the measure.

FOR CURRENCY REFORM.
Boston Bankers Praise OF the Com
MISSIONS Work.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Francis B.
Sears, the vice president of the Third
National Bank of Boston, in a letter
to the secretary Of the monetary COM
mission, compliments the commission
on it's plan for an improvement of
our monetary system, and expresses
the hope that all business men will
waive their objection to certain de-
tails of the report which may not meet
their views and work "persistently and
energetically together to secure a set
tlement of the currency question on
this basis"
Alfred Ripley, the vice president Of
the Hide and Leather bank of Boston,
says: THAT the commission, repre-
senting so many different sections and
localities, and of different political be-
liefs, could unite on so broad and
thorough a measure, is proof that the
questions are deep and vital and affect
the welfare of all classes and occupa-
tions. the country over And in the
face of such testimony as to the coun-
trys needs, the people have a right
and duty to demand that something
be done promptly"
