1894.

Ernest l.. Holt, captain of the Phillips
Andover eleven, is brother of Eddie
Holt, OF Harvard and Princeton fame.
The Chicago Athletic Club has started
on its Eastern trip with eighteen PLAYERS.
The team played Harvard Saturday,
Newton, Oct. %, and Yale, Nov. 5.
Ten to six on Pennsylvania against
Harvard Nov. 5, at Cambridge, is being
readily covered by Crimson hackers.
The last account OF college foot ball
game being postponed by rain was in
1895, when a Pennsylvania Lehigh
match was carried from Saturday to
Monday. .
Professionalism in foot ball as fostered
by the Duquesne Country and Athletic
Club, OF Pittsbirg, is, according to good
authority, the groundwork for boom in
this branch of the sport all over the
country.

Jim Mcclure is a disciple Of Nimrod.

1t is sad crustacean blunder to refer

Bill Hill, Seymour and Piatt, each

The Richmond Club is left without

In Chicago they refer to their new

The claims of the Wilkesbarre Club
against the St. Louis Club for $3.50 for
the release OF Suter, Sullivan is retained
and the St. Louis Club is directed to re.
nit that amount to the Wilkesbarre

When the Philadelphia Base Ball Club

individually they are probably the great

is not on paper, bu: the men have
showed their actual worth in the manv
games they have played this season with
the Phillies.
1t seems to be settled fact that Ed
Hanlon will not manage the Baltimore
team next season. Rumor connects his
name with the New York, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia clubs for 1899, with a
strong probability favoring Brooklyn.
The owners of the PhiladeIphia Club

Mrs. Susan Becker, the venerable
mother of Mr. F.. +. Becker, died at
the home of her son in this city Tues
day night, at the advanced age of s.
She had been in declining health for
about five years, and though death was
not unexpected, the blow was none the
less heavy to children and friends.
Mrs. Becker was the widow of the
late Peter Becker and came to Brook
haven with her husband during the
fifties. Since his death she has been
tenderly cared for, as the years ad-
vanced, in the home of her son. She
was pious and consecrated Christian
and was sustained in her last hours
by the strong and trustful faith that
only the Christian believer can know.
Three children survive her-Mr. f. F.

Two cases appealed from Lincoln

lower court against Silas Davis, color
ed, for murder, was affirmed and June
2lst set as the day for Davis to be
hung. In the case of w. l.. Lewis ct
al VS.. the Village of Bogue Chitto, the
decision of the lower court was also
affirmed. Last fall the village of Bogue
Chitto was declared a separate
school district, and levy of AZ mills
made by the village council to main
tain the school. They were enjoined
by W. L. Lewis ct al from collecting
this tax on the ground that the law
providing for a levy in excess of 3
mills in such cases had not been COM
piled with. The Supreme Court sus-
tains the lower court in this view.

The largest audience seen at Whit
worth College in many years assembled
at the College Chapel last Friday
evening to witness the debate between
Misses Alva McCord, Bessie Carruth
and Annie Lee, representing the Har-
vey johnson Literary Society of Whit
worth College, and Messrs. Chas. p.
Manship, Thos. b. Holloman and Mar
vim Brown, representing the Lamar
Literary Society of Millsaps. The spa
cious chapel was brilliantly illumin-
ated with electric lights and the broad
rostrum deliberately decorated with the
societies colors and the stars and
stripes, the whole scene presenting an
enhancing picture of youth and
beauty but seldom witnessed. The
question for debate was, Resolved,
That the United States should inter
vene in behalf of Cuban independ-
ence" the Harvey Johnsons contend
ing for the affirmative and the Lamars
for the negative.
There were many points of interna-
tional law learnedly discussed by the
brilliant young debaters, and the ques-
ton ably argued on both sides. Near
ly every speaker was enthusiastically
applauded, and if vote of the au-
dience had been taken it is difficult to
say which side would have been award
ed the palm of victory. The judges,
however, after serious deliberation, de-
cided that the young ladies, by their
eloquent plea for humanity, were the
winners, and Mrs. A. C. McNair, their
spokesman, so announced.
About one hundred of the Millsaps
students came down with the Lamars,
and all were royalty entertained by
President Chambers at the College. 1t
was a great occasion for the College
boys and girls and the public.

BRooKHAvEN. May 6.-The Interven-
ton OF Uncle Sam in behalf of the
struggling Cubans has resulted ia a
damage suit being filed against the
Illinois Genital Railroad az this place
for 5000. Chris. Larsen, a prominent
local contractor and builder, went into
the freight office Of the railroad for
the purpose of settling for some freight.
Having to stand little while before he
could be waited upon, and the CONVEX
sation between the railroads agent and
one or two other gentlemen turning on
the Hispano- American war, Larsen cas-
ually remarked that the United States
ought to have kept her nose out OF the
Cuban matter altogether, or words to
that effect. This was resented 10y the
Agent. Hot words followed, and Lar
sen, after being rouudly denounced,
had to leave the freight office at the
muzzle of the Agents pistol.
Larsen now brings suit against the
Railroad for the amount above stated,
alleging that he has sustained dam
ages to that extent. The principal
contention set forth in the declaration
filed in the court is that Larsen en-
tered the freight depot solely for the
purpose of transactingbusin swiththe
railroad; that the railroad had a man as
its Agent whom it had previous knowl-
edge possessed a violent and uncon-
trollable temper, and that in conse-
quence of this the plaintiff had suffer.
ed grievous insults at said Agents
hands and his life had been placed in
jeopardy, for which the railroad is
responsible. Plaintiff is represented
Messrs. Chrisman & Brennan of the
Brookhaven bar. 1t is said that the
issue raised has never been adjudica-
ted by any court in this State
Times Democrat Special.

the influence of warm weather manifest them
selves in billiousnesS, tired feeling, sallownesS.

more serious diseases sure to follow, unless
