Both the Washington and Boston clubs
played a careless. slovenly game of ball
yesterday in the city Of culture, errors,
bases on balls and general poor all-around
play marking the work of a majority of
the players, the champions finally winning
| by the score Of ii to 8. only eight innings
being played. But 300 spectators attended
| the game, the weather being cold and dis
| agreeable. McGann. Scheibeck and Mercer,
through brilliant plays and good batting,
| enlivened the Washington side of the con-
| test. while Duffys hitting attracted atten-
| ton from the Bostonese. The poor pitch
| ing by the twirlers of both clubs was re-
| sponsible for the big score, and also for
the number Of errors charged against the
two clubs, McFarlan having two Of the
Senators three errors, while Willis also
numerous in the error column account
of wild pitches and other stupid work.
The Senators started off like winners
| making four runs in their first time at the
bat, but this proved to be a flash in the
pan, the team died away like a quarter
horse in a mile race, making but four runs
in the next seven innings. The Bostons
came right after them knocking off two
tallies in the first and rushing to the front
in the second with five runs. McFarlan
began the twirling for the Washingtons,
but only lasted two innings, Magee taking
his place. The latter was only effective
in spots, shutting his opponents out in one
inning and then allowing a good-sized
bunch of runs to be scored the next. Will
lis was on the rubber for the Bostons, and
although his work was poor he was out
pointed by the Senatorial twirlers in this
respect. Darkness compelled the hired men
TO knock of work after the visiting club
had taken its eighth turn at the bat
Following is the score:

A WIN FOR EACH CLUB.
The Baltimore and Philadelphia Clubs
Divide Honors on the Day.

The double-header at Baltimore yester-
day proved to be a remarkable exhibition
of ball playing on account of the great re-
versal of form shown by both clubs, the
Orioles securing the first by the shut-out
score of II to o, while the Phillies captured
the second by the lop-sided score of 10 to
o. McGinnity very effective in the
first and Donohue duplicated his work for
the Quakers in the second. Nops was
knocked out of the box in the second in
ming and McKenna relieved him Scores:

HIRAM BAKERS MoRALlzINc.

Sometimes, when read of the men
Who're on the tip.top notch OF fame,
While every tongue and every pen
Is payin' tributes to their name,
And when think how close and small
My life and lot is on this earth,
have been fool enough to fall
Into the blues and hate it all,
And envy luckier men their berth.
Sometimes, when some chap wins the prize,
And writes his name amongst the best,
think. 'spose I'd his chance to rise,
His edication and the rest,
1 wonder if couldn't climb
The ladder jest as quick as he,
And then 1t alm0st seems O crime
That he should feast, while, all the time.
There's but the hard, dry crusts for me.

But. then again, think, suppose
That all our brains was same as his,
Who'd plow the furrers, plant the rows,
And do the common stints there is?
If everyone could greatness share
This world would stop,I guess we'd find:
We can't all fancy-work prepare,
The few have pleasant tasks and fair,&
The many's got to git the grind.
God made us all, and put us here
AS part OF His almighty plan;
And each ones got his duty clear:
It's jest to do the best he can.
And if my place in life amt what
I'd like to have it, nor as great,
Why, If l can, I'll change my lot,
And, II can't, whate'er I've got,
I'll try to keep my furrer straight.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

An OK on Trial-Dlstingul ulshed Soldiers
Who Have Been Strong Advocates Of
Total Abstinence in the Army-Their
Reasons For This Are Unanswerable.
{ knew an old farmer who kept big OK, ,
He ate great deal but worked not
stroke;
Ten put him in pound as tight as box,
And placed on his aeck big iron yoke;
They fed him whole fields of the best vf the
corn.
But he pushed like the devil with the point
OF his horn
And oft from his pound and his keepers
he broke.
With a terrible rush the pavement he'd
take,
Or sweep with his horns the thick
crowded street;
All barriers and fences to check him he'd
break,
And hood and run over whomever he'e
His nostrils were red with the blood that
he shed,
His pathway was strewed With the dying
From the thrust of his horns or the tread
of his feet.
OF this horrible OK the townsmen all spoke,
OF his pound and his keepers and vic.
tins, forlorn;
some salO ne was Sale lOr ne wore Dig
yoke,
And others said not because of his horn.
The creature, some said, deserved to be
killed;
Some argued, his pound mon higher should
build,
And instanced the market he made for
the corn.
In spite of his yoke and his keepers twas
found,
Since the owner paid license and bought
up the corn,
That respectable men would open the
pound,
And let out the OK, with the terrible
horn;
IF some would complain of terror and pain,
And point to the victims the monster had
slain.
They were laughed at as "cranks'' and
hooted with scorn.
A wise man, at last, with this wickedness
veXed.

Hear, townsmen," he said, "Iil read you

his bones,
Then righteouslY slew the ox-owner, too.

Increased Female Drunkenness.

Sir Wilfred Lawson told the meeting OF
The Women's Total Abstinence Union that
le had come from a good stand-up fight in
The House of Commons ON the Drink Ques-
lion. The question was, whether the Scot
:ish people should choose whether they
would have drink shops set up among their
houses or not. Appalling statistics were
given to the meeting, largly composed OF
ladies', OF female intemperance. 1t was
shown that there were in 1878 about 5000
women who had been convicted ten times
md upwards: but in 1898 there were nearly

NOT ALWAYS WELL BESTOWED
College Degrees Were Once Honorable
but Are Failing Into Disrepute.

From the Boston Transcript: The
actual meaning of word is not aoso-
lutte and Interchangeable. 1t is simply
that for which it generally stands to-
day. In the drift of usage-almost al
ways downward English words have
sometimes got their value quite re-
versed. and so long as the drift is go
ing on there is an unfortunate confu-
sion of ideas. and in this chaotic period
no man can be quite sure when his
neighbOr speaks what he is at. 1t
seems pity not to clear the air and
get down TO a definition which defines.
For example. the general demand to be
called gentleman" or lady" has al
most wiped out the meaning of words
which once had a sufficiently positive
one. The fact still exists of that diff
ferentiatiOn between persons which
was described by the old use of the
words. But We have no longer a name
Tor the attributes once indicated by
them and are obliged to communicate
the idea by adjectiyes or paraphraseS.
What is the meaning of a college de
gree? 1t was once a certificate OF good
scholarship in the "humanities. eX-
tended quite legitimately TO include
proficiency in arts and science The
value of it was soon found to vary with
the character of the collegiate insti-
tuition granting it. There was vast
fleXibility introduced into the meaning
Of degree Waving the criminal
abuse OF the purchasable article (Which
has probably been largely eliminated),
we still employ the same Wvrd for the
\. NJ. OF Yuba Dam college as for that
of Harvard or Yale And now. as the
commencement seasons go by. the
meaning OF degree" is increasingly
perpleXed by the annual investment of
large number OF persons with it,
whose distinction mas no connection
whatever with scholarship or the re-
suits of scholarship.

CHAPTER VII.

When the door closed upon Mar
guerite IilDourne, as she left the law
yers office in Lance Lane. Valdane
Martineau walked up to it and turned
the key in the lock Then he went
back to the table, sank down in the
large armchair, leaned his arms on the
blotting paper which covered the
desk, and dropped his head upon them.
What was there in Marguerte's art
less narrative that could have so deep
ly shaken the habitual cOmposure or
this man of the world?
The bowed head did not stir for up
wards of half an hour. Valdane Mar
tiEeau was alone in the company of a
thousand evil thoughts, the phantoms
Of a discreditabe past.
Presently he raised his head. the
powerful hand which lay on the desk
was cIiGched, and through his set lips
came one word:

amount practically TO an encyclopedia
OF everything connected with battles
and with fighting men. No other one
man has ever accomplished SO tremen-
dous work of research.
The first volume is a description OF
the mechanism of war. 1t deals with
everything from the cross-bow of the
ancients to the smokeless powder of
today. 1t tells OF Notifications. it
deals with features of attack and de-
tense. ii omits nothing.
The second volume is headed The
War Upon the Continent" Unfortun-
ately, and now greatly to his own re-
greet. NJ de Bloch failed to consider
America as a fighting possibility at the
time this volume was written. He
studies in detail the effectiveness of
European armies. discusses their exist
ing preparations for war. their plans of
mobilization. the training of their Off
GERS. their camps. their fortresses. the
possibilities of night and day fighting.
the general esprit du corps. the opera
tions of all of them during the wars
which have occurred in the last cen
fury; indeed. he Omits no one thing
which might by any possibility be use
full to the student. This volume alone
contains more than 500 pages.
The third volume is the briefest and
the least important Of his work. It
deals with naval warfare and the sub
ject is not competently treated
In the fourth volume he treats Of
economic problems and their proba BILE
effect in the war of the future. 1t goes
into the subject (of course intensely in
teresting to America) of the supply and
maintenance of troops 1t considers
the cost Of the military as compared
with the revenues of all nations. It
shows what tremendous advances in
relative cost will mark the war Of the
future. 1t points out the inequality of
the preparations for war made by diff
ferent European countries and it shows
the influence different factors have on

The Modern Bow,

The probability is that the origin OF
the custom of bowling can only be
found by going far back into the ages
of antiquity, when prOstration was the
attitude of the slave before hi5 mas
ter. What we now call politeness be-
gan in servility. There can hardly be
any doubt but that the practice Of
bowling the head originated in expos
ing the neck TO the stroke Of the
sword. From its earliest literal
meaning it took a figurative one,
meaning first submission, then defer
ence, then mere pOliteness. Herbert
Spencer says the nod or bow OF mod
ern politeness is the last relic Of The
prostration of ancient servility." IN
the same way we shake hands with
the right hand instead of the left be-
cause the right was the sword hand,
and the giving of it into the hand Of
an enemy was a sign of peace and good
faith. Taking off the hat, toe, is a
relic Of doffing the helmet and so
leaving the most vulnerable portion OF
the body undefended as a mark Of
confidence on entering the dwelling
OF an ally or a friend.

control over her during her minority,
and If she married against your wish
before she attained the age of 81, the
whole of her money came TO YOU. Your
suggestion to me was that 1 should
go through the form of marriage with
your niece. apparently without your
sanction, in order to enable you to
claim the money due to you in that
case. You represented to me that
your niece was mad-hopelessly out of
her mind-and that on that account
should do her no harm by going
through this form. as nobody else
would ever be likely to marry her.
There could be, you represented, no
difficulty in the matter, as the young
lady in question was to all appearance
quite sane and perfectly docile and
submissive. At the church door my
