team. The visitors. while they hit
the ball, either knocked it into the air
or hit short grounders to the infleld,
and to greater or less extent the home
team did the same thing. The few
errors made up to this time had been
almost excusable, too, but in the last
half Of the sixth inning the Billings
boys went to pieces and off of but one
safe hit, allowed the visitors to score
four unearned runs. That settled the
game: Billings had punched most Of

game was prettier one than that Of

on both sides, the game had been al
most errorless and Billings had been
hitting the ball hard and often. Har-

irHordinary discussion. the result Of
which may be that the Presbyterian

some weeks ago. Rev. Jennings made
the assertion that highly seasoned
and peppery dishes should not be
eaten by a good Christian" and cited
the alleged fact even cAnnihsis would

from eating SpRnlards not because
Of a high seasoning. but because Of
the excessive nicotine in the Spanish
system. due TO cigarette smoking.

"a the pastors statement. Debat-
ing societies then took the matter
up. and the question. Resolved. That

As an afterclap to the Confederate

Wheeler was purposely snubbed by

Wheeler was not in the parade and

Judge W. II Brawley said today:

ments were TO he. General Walker
Informed me after the parade that
the committee appointed by him for
the purpose of sending the carriage
for General Wheeler had failed to
carry out his instructions. You can
find out from him who were on this
committee and why they failed TO
do what was expected Of them.
There Ia naturally great indlgna-
tion among the people ON account Of
this neglect and there was great dis
