FIFTH GAME.

This was a Misunderstanding contest
and Herman Collin was the bright par
ticular star. Wheeling led by 81 pins In
the first frame, and the lead was in
creased until the fifth. when the home
team was GO pins ahead. Then Colum-
bus in general and Collin in particular.
began to play the game, and slowly but
surely the All-Wheelng lead was d.
minlshed.\ In the seventh the locals
were only % pins TO the good. Then
Collin began to plug in with straight
strikes, and his row. of "thirties" made
havoc with things generally. Columbus
was ahead in the eighth by four pins,
which was Increased to sixteen In the
ninth, and although the locals finished
strong in the last frame, the visitors
won out on 4 margin Of seven pins. This
margin just wiped out the Wheeling
lead on pins In the aggregate, and made
the. result Of the sixth and last game
doubly interesting. The work OF Collin,
2l3. and RAIDER, 2l3. was fine, and Camp
bell again put In u nice score. 1888. A
phenomenal spare by Brown In the
fourth frame was another feature.
There were three pins in n row: Browns
bali struck and took off one and It look
ed like a break. but the pin rebounded
from the cushion and took off the three
others. In the tenth, Handlan put In u
great spare: another case Of reboundng

the first cry of fire from the outslde,the
six or seven men and women who were
sleeping in the house were awakened,
They found their rooms filled with

some made their escape out of the

LITERARY
NOTES,
Interesting News
Concerning New
Publications.

The quarterly "Conservati tive Review"
of Baltimore. has, in connection with it's
regular table OF contents, two articles
which are of especial interest to neopc
i'll this section, viz: Sound Money
Democracy in the South" by Hon.
Josiah Patterson, and THE Negro
Population of the South" by Phillip
Alexander Bruce. Mr.. Patterson treats
ms theme from the standpoint of one
who is in favor of sound money. lie
seems to think, however, that Bryan
ana Mckinley are certain to be candi-
oates for the Presidency in 1900, and
consequently argues from that position
AS II Is not definitely certain yet who
VIII be the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency number Of Mr.. P;ittersons
statements are simply suggestions and
possibilities. and not facts. Neverthe-
less. his article is very interesting to
tnOse who are interested in the great
question. silver or gold?
Mr.. Bruce's article on 1.-THE Negro
Population of the South" is Il very able
one indeed. Clean, concise and full of
facts, ii states in the most direct man
ner the exact reasons why the negro
population of the Southern States is a
drawback TO them. which can only be
plotted out by the removal of the negro
population, or by such an increase in
the white population as To completely
counterbaance the negro vote.
