low had been watching O'Brien's game
and thought he had solved the mys-
terry. He made vicious swing at the
first ball. let go of the bat when he
missed it and moved a path through
the crowd of spectators. When the eX-
citement subsidized he cracked out a
hree-bagger and brought the captain
home. Three runs quickly followed,
and the Burton Juniors were feeling
good.
The game dragged little for a few
innings then, each side getting only II
runs, until Captain Murphy came to
bat again in the sixth Pitcher O'Brien
was quite ratified by that time. Four
teen clean hits had been made off his
delivery and he stirred himself for a
coup. He swung his left leg all around
his right, doubled halfway over and,
with majestic swing of his arm. sent
in the ball. Captain Murphy ducked.

caught the umpire where it didn't do
him bit of good He didn't stop to
read up the rules on the point, but
went out after young O'Brien with
bat. That was the signal for some
thing to start Captain Sullivan's men
rallied around their pitcher and Cap
tain Murphy's men flocked to support
the umpire, who had been doing as
much Tor them during the game. In a
few minutes everybody either had his
thumb in somebody's mouth or had
finger in somebody's eye, and the spec
tators howled with delight. The two
mines rolled over one another, travelled
around the base lines and mixed it up
generally, and when copper came
hustling down the street, nobody knew
what nine he belonged to. The police
man Strengthened things out little
and then the captains began search
for their men. Suddenly some one
yelled:
DE umpires ducked for de tall
grass!"
This startling shout brought every to
time, and Captain Murphy, looking in
alarm at Captain Sullivan, said:
"Hully gee, he's got de coin"
Captain Sullivan looked back at Cap

Yes, an he's got de ball"
This being the condition of affairs, 1t
was evident to all concerned that a
continuation of the game would not
only be difficult, but profitless, and the
players sought their training quarters,

at the NJ. e. Church.
Rev. J. Karishima a native of Japan
and at present a student in Cornell col
lege, who recently came to the United
States to get an educa ton, spoke to a
good audience yesterday at $3.50 o'clock D.
m. in the NJ. E. church. His subject was,
Japan and the Japanese" He began by
saying that it was necessary for him to do
his thinking in Japanese while speaking
in English He spoke of the beauty of
Japan, its geographical position and the
fact that as soon as the Trans-Siberian
railroad is completed it will be the COM
mercial center of the East.
Christianity was introduced into Japan
81 Years ago, and now there is a new Jap
an, not like the old. Shultovism is dead.
Woman is liberated from Confucanism,
which held her in slavery, and the great
need of Japan is more missionaries and
Bible preachers.
Japan has now 600 steamers, 10000 sail
ing vessels, 10000 miles of telegraph, 5000
miles of railway; 600 hospitals, a public
school system as manifold and perfect as
America, a government as good as Great
Britain. and she has been victorious in
war. Her late war with China was waged
in order to free Corea and wake up China
Mr. karishima appeared in native cos
tune, that worn by Shintos priests and
women of the upper classes. He spoke of
the fact that when the new education
shattered the idols of Japan she drifted
into, skepticism, and that there are many
infidels who know nothing about Jesus
Christ; that this has caused much immor-
atty and that the infidels are universally
bad and immoral.
Mr.. Karishima is to lecture in the vari-
Gus cities of Montana during the month
of June and begin a course in theology in
theological institute in the fall of the
year

"The Wrong Mr.. Wright"

Roland Reed returns to this city
Wednesday evening and will present
at the Margaret theater his latest sue
cess, which has been pronounced the
best comedy he has ever had, THE
Wrong Mr.. Wright" The story is in
tensely interesting and highly amusing.
The principal players meet first in
hotel at Old Point Comfort. Sites, who
halls from San Francisco, is in pur-
suit Of clerk who has robbed him by
forgery of $4,000 and for whose arrest
he has offered reward of $1,000. In all
economical effort to save this reward
he has Travelled to Virginia. To hide his
identity he assumes the name of Mr..
Wright, and the first compiled ton
arises on his meeting nephew and
niece who are spending few weeks at
the same place. He takes them into
his confidence. A far more serious COM
plication arises On the arrival of Hen
rietta oliver, who has been employed
by the detective agency to try to cap
ture the defaulter. She has learned
that he has assumed the name of Mr..
Wright, and she Immediately picks
Sites out as the man for whom she is IN
search; but Sites becomes enamored of
Henrietta; his whole manner changes
From being mean and close he becomes
liberal almost to extravaganza He
sends her flowers in abundance, but she
never forgets that he is a thief. Out
of this grow puzzles and situations.
She finally causes his arrest, but he
proves that he is Sites. Then he chooses
the fin de steele detective for a wife.
Another love match eliminates, too,
and then the curtain falls for the last
time in front of mirthful, reorganized
stage full of players Mr.. Reed has a
splendid role in Sites, and the balance
of the company, including Isadore
Rush, all have merry characters.

LA Tosca."

Blanche Walsh and Melbourne Mac
Dowell and a carefully selected COM
pany, presenting Fanny Davenports
production of Sardous La Tosca," will
occupy the stage at the Margaret thea
ter on June 9, This Sardou play will
continue to attract crowds for years,
and anyone who has once seen this pro-
duction will want to see it again. while
those who have not seen it will be dis
posed to take advantage of this chance
When two such people as Melbourne
MacDowell and Blanche Walsh are en-
gagged in the production of a play as
strong as La Tosca' the event is one
OF too much Importance not to meet
with hearty recognition. The popular
ity of this play came so suddenly that
it was question in the minds of many
who had not seen it whether it
would not, like many another instan-
taneous success, be short lived After
seeing it, however. there was no one
who doubted it's right among standard
artistic works.

The Cust0ins Reductions Table for
Porto Rico Must he Revised.
The plans of the Administration for les-
sening the restT4ctions on the Introduction
of articles OF, trade in Porto Rico have been
blown into confusion by the recent burri-
cane, to quote a prominent official Of the
War Department. Brigadier General Da-
Wis, the Military Governor of Porto Rico.
recently submitted tables to the War De-
partment showing just how much the rev.
enues Of the island would be reduced by
These tables We're furnished by General
Davis in response to instructions from the
department.
Considerable attention has been devoted
by Secretary Root and other War Depart
ment officials to the question of decreas-
ing the. customs duties on products i'm
ported into Porto Rico, so that the island
would have the benefit of great many
necessary commodities 1t had been prac-
tically decided to permit the introduction
OF agricultural implements into Porto Rico
free. or at much lower rate of duty than
that now charged, and it was also eontem-
plated to have a free exchange of certain
articles between the island and the United
States The hurricane occurred subsequent
to the receipt Of the tables mentioned, and
it is now believed by the officials here that
their original plans cannot be carried into
operation.
The hurricane destroyed SO much prop
erty that the internal revenues Of the ISL
and will be greatly reduced, and it is fear
ed that the reduction contemplated in GUS
toms duties will not give enough revenue
TO support the Porto Rican administration.
For that reason it will be necessary TO de-
wise an entirely new set of plans. and the
officials are hopeful that they will be able
to arrange schedules which will give the
natives of the island the benefit Of outside
productions at smaller cost without caus-
ing deficit In the expenses of the insular
government.
1t has been represented to the Govern
ment by prominent Porto Ricans that
greater advantages in trading with the
United States should be extended to the
island as the loss Of the Spanish market
has seriously crippled Porto Rican indus
| tries. In addition to the suggestion that
there be a free exchange of certain COM
| modities between the United States and
Porto Rico. it has been proposed that au
thority be given by the Government for
the free entry OF Porto Rican tobacco into
Cuba This plan has met with opposition
from the Cuban tobacco growers and Senor

for Cuba. will urge the War Department
not to make the concession. He maintains

149S and 1898,

The events of the year 1898 were
momentous-how momentous perhaps
none of lis can know as yet But there
is curious element of poetic justice, If
one may call it so, in the situation, Which
may be noted by future historians.
Four hundred years ago this country
was discovered through the agency OF
Spain. 1t passed from the hands of it's
discoverer because the latter was not
strong, or just, or wise enough to hold it.
Through the lack of these same qualities
the ruin of Spain has now come about by
the agency of the country which she dis
covered, almost exactly four centuries
after the discovery was made-Columbus

Tennessee has proved her good sense by
her treatment of men from that State who

One Of the sacrifices which the volun-
