Word has been received here that
Connie Mack claims Eddie Heimerl.
our crack young pitcher, but he is too
late as Eddie had already been claimed
by Columbus, and his name appeared
among the official list given out by
that club. But this claiming will
make no difference to Eddie. He will
not play professional ball and will be
found on the slab for the home team
this summer. Connie Mack has also
requested game with the home team
in Milwaukee, to be played in April.
1t is probable that the boys will go in
on the 10th Of April, and that Eddie
will then have the opportunity of try
ing his skill against frst-class team.

Wound UD.

The members of the Phoenix Fire
company have wound up the benevo-
lent features of their organization.
Last week the company distributed
amongst it's membership something
like $3,000 and this was pro rated
according to the years Of service of
the members, SO that each one re-
ceived an equitable share of the dis
tribution. This must not be under
stood as an abandonment Of the fire
service on the part of the ''boys," as
they will always be found ready to re-
spOnd in case Of an emergency. The
Phoenix company deserves more than
a passing notice, for it has justly
earned the reputation of having been
kind in the West. It's extraordinary
feats in fre-fghting have been wit
messed for years by our citizens, and
many times when it seemed as if the
kissing, fiery flame was getting the
best of it, and that a general conha
grafton was imminent. little PhOe-
nix girded herself up for the battle,
ana soon Un0 UrO-1OZZl0 F0SpOuU0u
by throwing volumes of the saving
fluid upon the devouring monster.
Often times it was a stubborn battle,
but the victory was always won. And
the boys did their share, too. There
was an obedience to orders, unity of
action, and an intelligent understand
ing of what to do, and bow to make
their efforts prove effective. The
weather was never too hot nor too
cold for the ''boys." The fire
alarm always found them willing to
respond to the calls Of duty, and
when at the scene Of action each man
worked as if that particular piece OF
property belonged to him. They
saved hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars worth of property, and it is
doubtful if their hard. self-sacrifcing
labors have ever been thoroughly APP
preciated, but THE REPUBLICAN de-
sires to thus publicly recognize their
merits, and to express the deep sense
of obligation every property owner
is under to them.

UNIVERSITY LECTURE COURSE.
The Fifth Lecture Las Friday Evan
ing-Buf1ders of the Constitu-
tton-States' Rights,

1t was very evident from the tone
OF Professor Sparks lecture last Fri
day evening that the question of
states rights was the great impede
ment in the way of the perfection and
adoption of the constitution. The
casual student of history has always
looked upon the Southern states, and
especially South Carolina. as the
greatest sticklers for the individual
rights of the states. The state, as
we'll as the individual, is very ten
acious of any advantage it NAV pos
sess in pecuniary sense, and as New
York geographically commanded the
maritime trade, she was very reluct-
ant ID part with her monopoly.
However. after sharp campaign, the
New Workers were mad to see the
dan ers sure to follow in the wake of
it's rejection, and her legislature was
one Of the last to adopt it. Pro-
fessor Sparks was very minute in de-
failing the energy and ingenuity of
the men who are entitled to the
greatest need of praise for the crea-
ton and final adoption OF that un-
rivaled charter of liberty. To James
Madison is awarded the credit of hav-
ing been the architect, and Alexander
Hamilton the master-builder It may
surprise many of our readers tt learn
that nearly 1900 amendments have
been proposed to the constitution,
and only fifteen of them have been
adopted
That 1887 was one of the most i'm
portant years in early American his
tory is easy to be believed. Fifty
five delegates, representing the thir-
teen colonies, sat behind closed doors
in old Independence hall, in Phila-
delphia, from May till September,
when they were finally released from
their arduous labors by seeing the
fruits of their patriotic work brought
to a successful issue. and that consti-
tuition, which has been such a boon to
the down-trodden of every nation,
submitted for the consideration of the
people.
Professor Sparks will close the
course next Friday evening. There
is no doubt but that large audience
will be in attendance.

Frederick Phinney and his cele-
brated concert band will give con-
cert at Turner Opera house, Thursday
evening of this week. Mr.. Phinney's
repertoire is SO extensive that each
concert he gives is model Of excel
lence AMI is bound to suit the most
fastidious and exacting auditor, for he
has large field upon which to build
his programs. 1t was by his knowl-
edge of just what class of music causes
the most genuine pleasure, and his eff
forts to please, that Mr.. Phinney
placed the United States band in the
first rank Of the worlds great bands
He knows just what the people like
and gives it to them without solicita-
ton. The great band was never in
such superb condition as at present,
some few changes in the personnel hav-
ing materially improved the ensemble.
City Treasurer Began had an ex-
perience Monday that has completely
upset his usual placid serenity. At
noon g. gentleman entered his Of
fee and quietly told him that an old
taxpayer, who felt that he had not
been doing his whole duty toward the
city, wished to liquidate his indebted
ness, and if Mr.. Began would accom-
pany him to certain room the money
would be paid over to him. Mr..
Began, taking his receipt book with
him, did as he was requested, and on
arriving at the rendezvous was soon
securely imprisoned behind locked
doors, and was beginning to feel a
little squeamish as to the results; but
he was not kept long in waiting, as
the amount had been figured out to a
cent, and $1S5 was counted over to
him, for which he gave a receipt to a
Mr.. Unknown" The party of the
first part was not visible, and all spec
ulation as to his identity is simply out
of the question.
