Our Country.

The United States is our country;
occupies the central and most impor-
tant part of North America aud re.
cent events plainly points to the fact
that its position in the rank of the
Great Powers of tn world is not
secondary.
This country of ours extends from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. and
from the Gulf of Mexico 70 the Great
Lakes. It's area including Alaska is
3,556,60O square miles. There are
f,rty.fve States and five Territories.
Texas Is the largest state, having
population of 2,235, ,523 an area of
265,78O square miles. 1t is more
than thirty times as large rs the State
of Massachusetts,. The smallest State
in the uuion is Rhode Island, with
an area of only 1880 square miles,
but has q population OF 345,506 Ly-
ing between these two States, Texas

are the remaining forty three States
and when We place these forty FIVE
States before US we see the country we
call ours with population according
to the census Of 1890, of 62.622, $50
souls. Doubtless we may safely say
that the population in 1899 is in
round numbers 7O,00O,OOO. These

The Pfesileut is elected by and is OF

honors he wears are given him by the

The Senate of the United States is
composed OF SO members; each State
having Two senators, and in this way
the rights Of the mincrity are guarded.
FIFTY seven Of these senator's are law

Record of the Climbs.

Twice those foxy Senators, feeling quite
jocund over the way they had waloped the
champion Bostons on Monday walked out
on the Polo ground yesterday and defeated
the Giants, says the New York Herald
speaking of yesterdays games in New
York.
And there wasn't anything uncertain
either, about the two defeats. In the
morning game they outbatted the Giants
though they had little the worst of it in
fielding; but in the afternoon they out
felded the Giants and made three hits
which equaled New York s-yield them
runs.
So, while the Giants narrowly escaped a
whitewash in the morning, they couldn' t
get away from 1t in the afternoon.
And these untoward results We're wholly
due to the fact that the Giants couldn't do
any sort of timely hitting. Their fielding
was all right and SO was their pitching
As if to show that base ball has more
than passing old on the popular heart,
some 5000 persons gathered to witness the
morning game.
The afternoon game was witnessed by
some 5000 people. The Giants were beaten
because they couldn't hit at the times when
hits meant runs. Seymour pitched, and
pitched splendidly, and if Wilson had play
ed third as third should be played ne might
nave pltcned the game TO a draw. Four
hits went careening past Wilson. He
should have got them all and turned them
into outs, but he didn't, and Washington
two runs were the result.
However, it wasn't Wilson's slow work at
third that beat the Giants. 1t was their
own slow work at the bat that kept them
from winning. They had to face old Gus
Weighing, and everybody knows he Is not
hypnotst. And everybody was surprised
therefore, at the way he moved down the
Giants.
Not one of them saw first until the third
inning, when Wilson got there on a sharp
rap to center. But he got no further They
went out in one, two three order again in
the fourth, but Gleason started the fifth
with a slick bunt and beat MERGERS throw
to first, and, just as he made break to
steal second. O'Bren plunked a liner into
Barry's hands and Captain Kid was
doubled up.
Davis got in a sharp rap past Mercer in
the seventh and Wilson got away with a
pretty bunt in the eighth but nothing came
OF these raps, for no other raps followed
them, and in the ninth Doyle tipped the
ball out to center and stole second, where
Davis left him by striking out.
So the Giants lost the two games hut
there is fortune in store for the man, vo-
man or child who will devise a bat that
will help the Giants hit the ball when doing
so means little bit of scoring
