WEBSTER HAS A WALK-OVER.
Providence Man Invincible,
While Lampe Was
an Easy Mark.

Southbridge, Aug. 19.-Webster de-
feated Southbridge this afternoon in
eight innings and at the end had 16
runs to spare. They batted the ball
whenever they wanted to and made
runs as they pleased. Griffin was bat
ted out of the box in the fourth in
ming and Lampe of Worcester was very
little of an improvement. Evans OF
Providence pitched for Webster and the
home team only got three hits. The
Webster rooters present were crazy
with joy. The victory is due to Web
ter's many hits and their almost per-
feet fielding game to help them win
The home team made nine errors. A
crowd of 1400 people saw the game.

pie who are now in their graves would be
alive and well to-day if they had needed
the first warnings of those troubles which
lead to consumption and death.
The hacking cough, splitting of blood,
weak lungs, and. all similar troubles of the
organs of breathing, will surely lead to
consumption, if they are not already the
signs of it. Then there are the other indi-
cations of the approach of consumption,
such as uight-sweats, emaciation, or vast
ing away Of flesh from bad nutrition, which,
neglected, lead to certain death
Ninety-eight per cent. of all the cases of
weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and
obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and
throat diseases, which have been treated
with Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, have been cured by 1t. Do not wait
until your throat trouble becomes serious.
All bronchial and throat troubles are seri-
Gus. The time to take the Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" is right at the start.
Even if your throat trouble has been
neglected until it has been pronounced
pulmonary disease or consumption, do not
hesitate to use the Golden Medical Dis
covery,n for thousands of letters from the
sufferers themselves, who are now well,
bear evidence that the Golden Medical
Discovery will cure, even after good ply
sicians have pronounced the disease pull
monary consumption.

1t seems quite surprising that the an
cient Romans did not acquire the art
of printing with movable types. mas
much as they came so very near to II.
They had wooden blocks carved with
words in reverse. by means of which
they stamped these words on pottery,
while the latter was as yet unbaked
and soft. Incidentally it may be men
toned that they knew the modern
method of mending broken pots by
means Of rivets and many pieces OF
pottery thus restored have been dug
ND In ancient Rome there was one
daily newspaper. which was written
entirely by hand. Furthermore the
Roman Senate had a publication
which corresponds to the Congression-
al Record, being report OF the daily
proceedings Of that important iegisla-
tive body. 1t likewise was written by
hand. Speaking Of baked clay, one
might mention the fact that the htte
boys Of Rome 1000 years and more
ago were accustomed to play knuckie-
down with marbles of that material,
lust as children do now.

woman was discovered dead. and the
police were promptly notified. The
body was cold. showing that death
had occurred several hours previously.
An examination disclosed the follow
ing words tattoOed on the right arm:
.Paime Maurice Des Canettes Pour La
Vie, 1899
The date proved at once that Mime.
Flamant. whatever her past may hide
of hardship or romance, was not past
the age of romance.
For the message read: Il love Maur-
ice of the faucets for life. 1899"
Maurice the Tank" would be a fair
rendering of the nickname. 1t is not
pretty nickname, but it is Partisan.
Beneath this strange pledge was
crude design-a heart outlined in red,
pierced by blue dagger.
1t was promise of undying love,
backed by q grimly suggestive threat
of death if the promise were ever
broken.
When the left arm was examined q
device equally curious was revealed.
Jaime pour la vie Jean BOyet
were inscribed about rude picture
of a dagger and two hearts chained
together and signed ''Jean BOvet."
This pledge was without date, and
the question at once arose as to which
tattoo mark had been first affixed.
Then the LecOqS of the Partisan po-
lice. to whom nothing is more dear
than cunning theory, reconstructed"
the crime after their manner.
Jean BOvet. they concluded. had
been Nine Flamant's suitOr-perhaps
years ago. certainly before Maurice.
Because of his presumed partiality for
tattoOing they conclude that he must
have followed the sea, though this is
not evident. now that society women
have taken to- tattoOing as fad, as
they have other foolish fads.
Bovet had gone away-this is all
conjecture. Of cOurse-and Nine.
Flamant. who had been gently reared,
had come to- want unforeseen by him
and had removed to more modest
quarters where a new lover had found
the way to her heart. perhaps aided in
his conquest by her poverty.
The second tattOoing is more difficult
to explain. 1t may be merely one Of
those condolences which make real
life stranger than any tale of the
imagination. 1t may be that some
incautiOus remark of Mime. Flamant
revealed the truth to Maurice.
; More probably. perhaps. the dead
woman herself. urging on her own
fate as women will. proffered the test
and proof Of her affection. and added
the date as if to- efface the memory Of
Bovet by a later declaration, even if
she could not strip from her beautiful
arm the promise she had made him.
At this point the police theory di-
Ivides:
First-Did Jean return to Paris and
punish the woman's faithlessness In
the manner indicated by the design Of
the pierced heart?
Second-Had CiemPnce heard from
or communicated with her first loVerI
Had he returned from the past to re-
new his claim upon her heart. and di'f
Maurice innict the punisE7asot or
death upon her?
