SEASON TO OPEN SATURDAY.
FIRST GAME OF THE SAVANNAH
CLUB TO BE PLAYED THEN.

Baltimore Coming for Three Games

But May Play Three-Ncw Grand

Work on the Park Nearing Com
Observation-Disclosures to Play With
Savannah-"Kid" Spencer Giving
TroubIe-PIayers Now on Their
Way Here.
The first base ball game of the season
will be played next Saturday, when Sa-
vannah and Baltimore meet at the new
park. Baltimore comes for three games,
March 26, q and %. 1t is safe to say that
the Orioles will be given a royal well
come, and that the games will be largely
attended if the weather is good.
Hanlon's men are among the most pop
ular set of players in the big league, and
many base ball 'cranks in Savannah fol-
low their course through the season as
thoroughly as if they represented Savan-
nah When Baltimore and Boston were
so closely punched in the league race in
the latter part of last season the interest
felt in the games here was almost as great
as If they were being played in Savan-
nah.
The Orioles are now in Macon, where
they have been for ten days. Hanlon is
pleased with the way his men are showing
up, and he says in letter to Savannah
that he thinks he will make them all
play bali the coming season.
The work on the park is being rapidly
pushed, and it will be completed by Thurs
day. The new grand stand is nearly COM
pleted now. 1t is in the form of a quar-
ter circle, and Is Immediately back of the
home plate. 1t will hold 100 spectators
comfortably. The old stand, which will
be used for ladies, seats $50 people, which
will give a seating capacity in grand stand
seats of 1250. The bleachers on the left
side seat $50 people, and another stand of
bleachers will be built directly to the
south of the old bleachers. These will seat
$50 more and it will be seen that there
will be a seating capacity of 1900; run
ming it up to $500 when crowded.
The diamond has been leveled off and
is in excellent condition. 1t is a
little soft yet. but will harden from
usage in short time. The weeds have
been cut in the field and the holes filled
in. The work on the fence has not been
finished yet. This will be done in a few
days and there will not be crack left for
the small boys to peep through.
A large score board will be placed be-
tween the stands of beachers. The score
by innings of the home game will be
marked up and a telegraph operator will
take the scores of the games in the other
league cities and they will be given as
they come in. This will be a good feature
and one that will be appreciated as the
fans who follow the games of all the
clubs are always anxious to know the out
come of all the games.
Tickets have been sent out to all the
players and most of them are now on
the way. Hollowell and Devinney sailed
on the steamer which left Baltimore FRI
day and they will arrive tonight or to-

A BRAND-NEW SUPERSTITION.
Belief That 1t Is Dangerous to Put a
Hat on Fed.
From the washington Post.

From the Washington Post
learned of what is to me a brand-new
tremble to think of the risks / have been
running all these years in my ignorance
of it. 1t was at an Informal evening en-
tertainment at the house of woman 1
know, and in the room set apart for the
wraps of the women guests was a maid
who was directed to see to it that nobody
hat was placed on the bed, for the laying
of a hat on the bed, as the hostess ex-
planned later always signifies the APP
preaching death of an intimate friend of
the house. The superstition is, l believe,
of Sicilian origin, and it's a very good
superstition, think, inasmuch as it tends
to preserve the freshness OF dainty bed
coverings.

The victory of the Guards over the Ca
diets Wednesday night put the First Bat
talon team in the lead. The teams were
all tied up to this game. The Guards have
won four and lost three games and have
a percentage of .572. The Chatams are
second with three games won and the same
number LOST, while the Cadets are last,
having won three and lost four games.
There are but two more games TO play
and, while the Guards are now at the head
of the procession, Il is hard to say which
team will win out The Guards and the
Cadets have one game each to play, while
the Chathams have two.

Society in BRUNSWICK.

Miss r. Blanche Krauss of Philadelphia
is the attractive guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
7. Haas.
The engagement of Mr.. Julius Levy and
Miss Theresa Haas was announced this
week. The betrothed will receive Sun
day. This engagement will unite two of
Bruuswick's most popular young people.
Mr.. Levy is of the firm of B. II. Levy
Bro. & Co., and is a prominent young
business man. Miss Haas is one of Bruins
wick's most popular and attractive young
ladies She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. II. Haas, who have resided here for
several years.
Mrs Edwin Fleming has returned to
Jacksonville after a few days visit here
to relatives
Mrs. Samuel C. Atkinson is slowly re-
covering from a long illness.
Misses Maud and Mary Powell OF At
lanta are visiting Capt. and Mrs. Charles
Turner.
Misses Mabel and Eva Nathans have re-
turned to their home in New York, after
pleasant visit to the family of Mrs T.
F. Smith.
Col. and Mrs, J. e. duBignon are spend
ing several days on Cumberland.
Mr.. William Kennon of Sparta, former.
ly of Brunswick, is visiting friends here.

day night between the Chathams and the
Cadets. On this game a great deal de-
ponds Should the Chathams win the
Artillery team will be tied with the Guards
and the game next week between these
teams will decide the winner of the pen
nant. However, should The Cadets win
from the Chathams the Guards will have
a much better show for the cup.
The Cadets are going to put up a hard
fight for the coming game with the Chat
hams. The First Regiment boys recog-
nize that if they win this game and the
Chathams win from the Guards there will
be a tie all around and there will still
be a likelihood that the trophy will grace
the First Regiment armory.
Hohenstein and Purse will probably be
the battery for the Cadets. Hohenstein
has been pitching good ball, and with
practice, he ought to develop into one of
the best pitchers in the city. Purse IS
one of the hardest working catcherS in the
league, and one of the best, as well. He
caught fine game last week. Germany
and Englerth will do the battery worn
for the Chathams. Garmany's arm is in
good shape-and Englerth's work behind
the bat has been good.
Coleman, the Guards pitcher was in
excellent form in his last game. The Ca
diets were unable to get but one hit off
him, and he pitched good, steady bail.
There was a time when Coleman was the
king-pin of the indoor ball pitchers, and
it may be that it has again come to pass.
There is a strong probability that the
Young Mems Christian Association indoor
ball team will play two games with the
champion Baltimores. Negotiations are
now going on and it is thought that the
next mail will bring the consent of the
Orioles Manager Hanlon has placed the
management of these games in the hands
of "Muggsy'' McCaw, the scrappy little
third baseman of the Orioles
If the games are arranged, they will be
played, one next Saturday night and one
Monday following. Thompson will pitch
the first game and probably both of them.
When the Bostons were here last Spring
they played an indoor game with the Y.
hoped that the games with the Orioles
will be arranged and, if they are, there Is
no doubt that the hall will be crowded at
both games The management of the Y
NJ. C. A team has decided to charge the
same admission as that at the regular
games.
The Y. NJ. H. A, Jrs., and Cadets, Jrs,
will play tomorrow night at Masonic
Temple. There is a good deal of rivalry
between these teams. AS this is the first
time they have crossed bats this sea-
son. and, as neither of them have been
defeated as yet, a very interesting game
is expected. The lineup will be as fol-

At the bedside of Miss Willard at Il e

Miss Willard has been i'll for about
three weeks. She had the best medical
care and treatment that could be given,
but ia spite of all efforts she grew worse
gradually until her death last night. DIR.

night:
Miss Willard had suffered some years
with profound anaemis, and on several
OCCASIONS had been given up to die. Lsst

A Funeral For His Lses.

y funeral train moved slowly into CAL
vary cemetery, at st. Louis, one day la, I
week. The hearse had stopped at the
side Of new-made grave. Slowly and
solemnly the casket was lifted out
and lowered into the grave as the preach
er said a few words of prayer. Then
heads were again covered, and those who
had followed the hearse and its burden To
the city of the dead were driven away.
Edward IIuebler was run over by a
train in North ST. Louis. On his arrival
at the City Hospital it was found neces-
sary TO anputate both his legs immediate
ly below the hips. This was done but the
disposition of these members was some
thing which worried Heubler He said
he didn't like the idea Of being separated
forever from two sueh good friends, and
so it was decided to bury them in the
grave which the rest of him will oc
cupy when he is dead. In order to do
this burial permit was necessary, and
this was applied for Wednesday morning,
and secured amer long examination. II

Approximate between five and six mil
lion dollars, Of which about one million
represents the loss through stores and
equipment. This total embraces the cost
OF the hull, machinery. armOr, ordnance
and the formidable batteries ltinciudes
the cost Of ammunition, with which the
Maine was more amply supplied than any
ship of the home station. Upward OF co.
coo pounds OF powder alone were stored
in the big magazine, consisting Of the
highest grade of powder now manufact-
ured for the navy. Not a pound, how
ever, was Of the smokeless variety.
Had the Maine simply settled on the
bottom in 90 feet of water, without having
been practically gutted by fire. the chance
of saving the vessel might have been en-

captain Sigsbee's statement the majority
are satisfied that TIE vessel will prove
a total loss 10 the navy, and with

payers Union meeting title and char
scter 10 which they are not entitled, in
an effort to impress the public with the
importance of the gathering, but when
they speak of the president of the Tax
payers Union, who is al-o one of the
owners of the fake organ published
in this town, as "a veteran of the late
war; it places the fake organ in an
embarrassing position. Il is ready and
willing to attempt to fake its readers
in all ways and on all occasions, but
when it comes 10 a ''fakep like this 1t
knows that every school boy in Somer-
set county will know that it s''faking," "
and while it can't afford 10 lose the
small compensation it receives for pub
fishing its letter "From Our Own Cor
respondent" it carefully "saws out'
that part referring TO its owner and
lets the balance of the flake" go.
The following paragraph occurs in
the letter as published last week in
number of our exchanges:
'sBRAvE INDEPENDENT MEN.
What a different grade of men was
there that made up the conference at
the BOurse! The Independent, big
Drained, manly men of the Republican
party. Veterans of the civil war, like
GENERAL k00NTZ, who presided,
and Generals Leiper and Stewart; clean
handed legislators, real champions of
the people, such as Senator Kaufman
and Representatives Crothers, Keator
and Stewart. Fearless editors, like
Zerbey Of Pottsville, Hiram Young Of
York and DOnath of West Chester.
Manufacturers, like Tilden of Philadel-
phia and Deemer of WilliamspOrt, and
so on through the list of country mer-
chants, country lawyers and farmers"
BY comparing this paragraph with
the one as it appeared in the letter in
the last issue of the flake" organ, they
will be found 10 be exactly the same,
word for word, except that one line
which reads: General KoOntz, who
presided, and'-but here the saw got
in its work on the plate matter in the
interest of truth. Can it be possible
the General is engaged in perform
ing the Jekyl- Hyde act and is "vet-
eran of the civil war; when away from
home, while at home he is simply ''the
General -? If so this might prove
hazardous even in these "piping times
of peace"
If it should be shown that the re-
cent disaster to the Maine was caused
by Spanish treaehery and war with
Spain should follow, Mr.. Jekyl, with
record as "a veteran Of the late war"
might be called upon to head a regi-
ment and then Mr.. Hyde, "the 'Gener-
al, " would be forced to appear in his
true light as he did at the outbreak Of
the civil war.
