Place Thursday Other Notes.
There are to be five more games of
base ball this season. Four of these
will be played at home and one at

Duquesne players and one with Pitts
burg College. The first game with

one of these and Printz will pitch the
other one. He will have TO finish the
season against the College teams as
the other pitchers have left school
Bowman has returned to his home
in Preston county and will not be in
school again this year and Dent has
gone to Dobbn where be has obtain
ed a good position and will be there
all summer. These two men will Grip
pie the team to some extent but the
management is sanguine that we will
win a majority of the rest of the
games played.
The team is behind and hopes that
the good attendance that should be
had at the coming contests will pull
them out of the hole in which they
find themselves at present.
Another game between the Station
Staff and the Faculty is talked Of but
it may not be pulled off. In case it
does the game will be begun where it
was left off before and an attempt

CHAPTER III.
or TILE sASnS AT S'CONsE


The day came in damp and chilly. The
sun refused 10 mako his appearance,
and tho heavy fog hanging over the sea
crept stealthlly inland until the outlines
Of tho village were lost In its subtle,
mysterious folds.
Margaret viewed the landscape from
tho confined space OF her bedroom
window.
Damp" she commented. Il dare say
shall be drowned in this mist, but out
intend to go, nevertheless.
True to her word, she put on rubber
clcak. boots, and cap, and, feeling COM
parativcly waterproof, started for tho
deserted beach.
Tho mist had lifted somewhat, but
tho sea was very high, and the gulls
few over the rolling surf like tiny dots
upon the gray horizon. Margarct's eye
followed their graceful motion as they
dipped their wings TO the seething
waves, or rose with sweeping course to
pursue their onward fight.
How provoking" she exclaimed. Il
did think that glorious sunset meant
nico weather to-day. 1 suppose it is
rather wicked to wish for sunshine when
Old Captain Pitman wants rain to fill his
ols.crn. 1t would puzzle God to please
everybody. / wonder IL those gulls
foretcll storm. l haven't tho least
idea about the direction of the wind.
Let me see: that is the cast over there,
and that is the north, nnd-Well, / do
clare!" In locating tho points of tho
compass, her eye had Encountered hes
COUSIN, and he, seeing her ut tho same
moment, began TO maize the best Of his
way TO join her, waving his arms spas
medically meanwhile. When he reached
her finally he was quite breathless.
Quite hard work. isn't it?" said Mar
garct, as he stood painting before Ier.
The sand is so soft and yielding"
L should say so. l believe l have
reck of it In my shoes. Did you como
down hero to kill yourself, or merely 20:
the pleasure of seeing enc trudge over
that sand"
Il didn't come for the first object, Ger
tainly; and as for the second, it really
didn't enter my mind. / have o very
contrary nature I like the things that
most people dislike. For instance, I
rovel In rain and dampness. 1 love to
go out in pouring shower. 1t doesn't
hurt me, either. I'm abnormally
healthy"
And abnormally imprudent," he
added. IF l had Gny authority. you
shouldn't sit here"
But you haven't any authority. and
have an unusual prejudice in favor OF
my own way. Why didn't you &c 10
Nantucket last night? Is it possible you
have managed to survive so long In this
od-forsaken hole?"
Brian caught tho spice Of mischief in
theso words.
Il thought I'd stay few days" he
explained, in answer. Dreaded the Tide
back, too. 1 haven't any ambition 10

sides wanted 10 find what interests

Just low, at the oslcc of the Geo
logical Survey, they are engaged In
building imitation mountains, for tho
purpose of studying the way in which
the eternal hills were formed By the
crumpling due TO tho contraction Of
the earth's crust. The coal basins ard
other valuable mineral deposits in
many parts Of tho United States have
undergone just such crunpilng, so
that 1t shall resemble in consistency
the brittle rocks near the surface OF
the earth or the plastic rocks which
are in that condition because OF tho
great pressure that exists even at
depths of only two or three Iriles, as
the case may be. The mixture is cast
in layers of q given thickness by
melting and flowing it in wooden
trough.
When each layer has hardened it

Upon one of his professional visits
to Washington, the late lamented Her
mann, the magician and prestidigita-
tor, almost caused a stampede among
the ignorant colored people. To this
day some of them think that Satan
himself was present in person upon
that occasion. One afternoon Hermann
visited the Center Market. On the
pavement outside of the market 1t Is
customary for several hundred aged
colored people from the surrounding
country in Virginia and Maryland to
gather on market days and display
their little stocks of dried herbs for
medicinal purposes, wild fruits, few
eggs, or an ancient chicken. These are
the genuine Virginia negroes, every
one of them an ex-slave. They are
quaint and picturesque, and as they sit
behind their baskets and trays the old
women smoke their pipes Of home
grown tobacco, and on cold days light
them with a chunk of fab" from the
pans of glowing Goals by which they
warm themselves. These ignorant and
simple minded folk had never heard
of Hermann or any other sleight-of-
hand performer. When he appeared
among them in his long cloak. his
pointed beard, and general Mephisto-
phelian appearance. he attracted their
whole attention. When he took sill
yer dollar out OF the lighted pipe OF
one Of the old mammies, he created q
sensation; and when he began to lift
live rabbits, pigeons, suits OF linen
underwear, and other articles from
their pockets, he created CONSERVATION,

Not Meant for Him.

The public is invited to sympathize
with a quiet and retiring citizen Of
New York who, says the Sun, occu-
pied a seat near the door Of crowded

behind which to hide, he was fixed and
subjugated by the glittering eye. He

HE HELD UP LORD ROTHsCHILD
How Gen. Kitchener Made tho Banker
Contribute to a Fund.

London Letter in Philadelphia In
quirer: when Kitchener was start
ing his list for the 100000 he demand
ed for the Gordon college, he was ad-
vised that the first step he could take
was to attend lunch in the city which
Lord Rothschild would give. The
lunch was duly ordered the guests were
met; the table set. In the middle there
was an awkward pause. Lord Roths-
child was observed to leave Lord
Kitchener after a short conversation.
and as Lord Rothschild's face was
somewhat flushed and his eye shone
brightly, it was easily seen that the
great banker was not pleased. And he
wasn't. For what happened was this:
Lord Kitchener, with that shrewd
sense he unexpectedly where money
is ccncerned-saw that the amount Of
the subscriptions of others would large
ly depend on the amount with which
Lord Rothschild would start the list
He fixed that amount in his own mind
at $4,000. When Lord Rothschild came
up to him Lord Kitchener asked with
characteristic bluntness what amount
he wished to subscribe. One thousand
pounds replied Lord Rothschild, lit
tie taken aback. I want $4,000 said
Kitchener; and moreover, unless get
it, shan't stay to lunch Lord Roths-
child is generous-the generosity of
the family is as well known, indeed, as
its wealth-but a stand-and-deliver
message of this kind was something
more than even the most generous of
men would like. And that was why
Lord Rothschild looked angry. The
news spread through the room; sur
prise and horror were on every face,
and several of the distinguished
guests went up to Kitchener to remon-
trate, Wolseley at the head. They
might as well have talked to the Egyp-
tian Sphinx. Five thousand pounds or
l go! said Kitchener. He got the $4,000
with the result he had anticipated
four other multimillionaires had to fol-
low Lord RothschildS example, and
when the luncheon was over the sub
scription for the Gordon college was
well Sldi leu VIII IGO,OVV. IL Is hitCH-
ener all over. His love of money-not
for himself, be it understood, but for
his cause-is so consuming that he is
said to take positive pleasure in do
ing a man if he can thereby save the
excheQuer and reduce expenses. And
he is just as merciless with the bodies
and souls as with the pockets Of men
AS he is useful or useless to the great
work, so is a man regarded by Kitch-
ener. He has no favorites any more
than he has animosities. An officer
gets i'll: at once he is sent back.
Years CT service, enthusiasm in the
cause, bravery, skill, all in vain; he is
a useless mouth, and back he goes
This is the kind of leader to succeed
but not the kind of one to be loved
And Kitchener is not loved"
The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1899-08-19

Intense animosities existed, and al
times Governor F1etcher's friends
feared for his life. But he went I'M
guarded and his courage carried him
through unframed. He was ineligible
for reelection in 1869, and retired to
private life, resuming the practice Of
law. He was connected in legal way
with the Southwestern branch of the
Pacific railway, and this led him to
divide his time between st. Louis and
Washington until about ten years ago.

latter place. Since then he has prac-

in the departments, and has attended

widow, one son and one daughter.
Tom Fletcher. as he was called by
bis most intimate friends, was what
is often called a "whole-souled-man
and a "hail-fellow-well-m There
are more than q dozen persons well
known in public life who owed their
start to Fletcher. The late B. X.
Bruce, ex-slave and senator from Mis-
sissippi, was one of them. Bruce's
early education was paid for by
Fletcher's money. That money was
ever ready to help the needy. 1t Is
natural that some day Fletcher should
grow comparatively poor. Some years
later he sought the appointment OF
registrar of the treasury at Washing
ton himself. Oddly enough his old
protege, Bruce, was candidate for the
same office. The ex-slave got the jon
and Fletcher returned to his old home
In Missouri, grumbling at the irony OF
fate. What chagrined him worst of all
was the fact that Bruce had already
became a rich man, while he himself
had grown poor.

Ex-Governor Thomas c. Fletcher,
who died in Washington few days
since, was notable figure in the polit-
ical life of the southwest, having had
the distinction of being the first aboli-
ton governor of a former slave state.
He was born seventy-two years ago al
Herculaneum, in Jefferson county,
Missouri. His father was merchant
with a goodly number of slaves, but
Notwithstanding his slave surround
ings, young Fletcher became a stancn
abolitionist. He was first appointed
clerk of jefferson county and after
ward elected for six years as county
clerk. Before his term expired he re-
moved to St. Louis and began the
practice of law.
At the outbreak Of the war he en-
listed with the Union forces and served
with distinction through the war. HIS
army service and his personal popu-
larity combined to secure his selection
as the first governor of Missouri fol-
lowing the war. He was inaugurateo
in 1865, and served until 1869, covering
that eventful period Of reconstruction
