A HOT CONTEST.
Providence Grays Defeated ihs Tough Riders in
Fino Game al Waterburr.

Twentytw two hundred people saw the
Providence Grays take Does Rough
Riders into camp at Waterbury last
night i'm a Hereby contested polo game.
They had barely succeeded IN beating
the home team on their preceding visit
in a game that had been the talk of
the town ever since, and IL was known
that the Waterbury team was bent
upon winning this time If IL could be
done. They went at IL as If the result
could not be other than i'm their favor.
They scored the first two goals made,
and when the Grays did begin scoring
the Rough Riders followed right on
their heels and scored another. AT the
end of the first period eight goals had
been scored, and Waterbury led by two.
There was stiff defensive work on both
sides all through the second period.
Only one goal was scored In that time,
and although Providence got that one.
the home team still led by a single
goal to the good. The home crowd was
confident when the final period opened
with the home team leading by the
score of five to four. To their amaze
ment everything seemed TO go suddenly
over to the Grays. Five times in sue
/. cession the visitors lodged the ball in
the Waterbury goal before the Rough
ones could add one to their list Then
Providence got two more before Does
men could get another. And all the
time the Waterburys were peppering
the Providence end OF the rink with
even greater persistency and more ter
rifle driving than the Providence team
was doing. But they were beaten be-
cause the Providence goal was practi-
cally impregnable. owing To Heffernan's s
brilliant work at the cage. IL was a
bitter pill to be so beaten, but IL was
a great game. Summary:

Summer Comfort.

There is a constant demand for
gasoline stoves, Why? Because
the new gasoline stoves work per-
fectly, keep the kithen cool and
pleasant, and do away with the
bother of having wood and kindling
around, But the chief reason is
on account of the cheapness of
gasoline, as compared with other
fuel for cooking purposes.
BY actual test it has been found
that four gallons of gasoline will go
as far as 1000 feet of gas. Com
pare the cost and you will see the
saving will justify the use of gaso-
line this season.
Do not forget that EUPION,
the Family Safety Oil is the best on
the market for illuminating your

OPINIONS AND POINTERS

"Citil service reform" remarks
the Watertown Standard, seems
to go steady by jerks" That last
jerk which Mckinley gave it nearly
broke its neck. Albany Argus.
Mckinley has made a grave
blunder in his latest executive or
der, and has disheArtened the
friends of good government by TAX
ing the backward step he pledged
himself, his party and the country
not to ake.-Philadelphia Daily
Ledger.
Mckinley has in his public ad-
dresses unqali6edly repudiated the
spoils system. We find him posing
as a hierarch of civil service reform
and then being the only president
iu twenty years who has taken the
step backward 1t will thus be
seen that civil service reform has
been slain by its loudiest aud noisi-
est champion, for the bars having
been let down, short work will be
made of the merit system. The
civil service commissioners ought
to resign in a body and so let Nc
Kinley enjoy the entire credit for
having destroyed that system. =
