Lost to winchester.

Won and then lost was the game which
the MarIinsburg base bah team played
with the Winchester team Wednesday.
The game was one Of the closest and most
interesting that has been played here this
season. Marlinsburg had the game wen
and tile score stood 5 TO i in favor of the
home team il the ninth inning. but syss
TEN of errors in the latter part of the game
let the Winchester team pile up fiye runs.
In the last inning with several men on
bases Shell! muffed nice fly in center al
lowing Winchester to tie the score. With
the bases full and two hands OUT. Staubly
kept his head and did his bess. The
batter knocked a grounder to short.
Herbst let il go by and the game
was lost. The other counting error was
high throw by Sharff TO first which
Moran left 60 past him. The VIM
chester team hardly had an earned run.
Almost every one Of their runs were made
on errors, in which line the home team
seemed TO be unlucky yesterday in that
every error made was costly one, sew
eral men being on bases at the time.
The game was pitchers battle. Both
twirlers pitched winning bah and had they
both had proper support the score would
have been much lower on both sides.
The Winchester pitcher is considered an
expert college twirler, but Stauby's rec
ord in Yesterdays game is above him.
Six hits were made off Baker and four off
Staublv.
The principle feature Of thegame was
Lannon's long throw from right field 10
home, catching man at the plate. Had
those errors not been made at the critical
times they were, the result would have
been quite different and the game would
have belonged to Martinsburg. The score
should have been TO in favor of the
home team. Bateman, the scorer, was
out of town yesterday and no official
score was kept Of the game.
Our boys should not lose their heads in
close places. 1t has never been known to
fail that where the score was close and
they should play good bail that they go to
pieces. Had it not been for the errors on
their part the game would have been one
of the prettiest ever played on home
grounds. Our boys also showed their
weakness in batting yesterday, very few
making hits aud many striking out. A lit
tie more practice in stick work would do
them good.
The Winchester boys are a good set Of
fellows and play good ball, and it is hoped
they will again visit this city for another
game
Mr.. Frank Van Horn umpired the game
and, as usual, gave the visitors the bene-
fit of all doubts With the exception of
one decision, that of the fly which Lamon
attempted to get, which was a foul, and
he called it fair ball, he umpired a good
game.

Another Attempt.

Wednesday night burglars ATTEMPTED to
continue the nefarious work which has left
the community in state of intense ex-
citemen. for some time. Some have called
the last several reports of attempts at
robberies nothing but imagination upon
the part OF the occupants of the houses,
but there is no doubt but that there was
an attempt made to rob the house of Mr..
Robert Harrison, IIo S. Maple avenue,
last night.
About go o'clock Miss Jennie Har-
rison heard noise at the upstairs front
window. The window was up and the
shutters were fastened and the noise
sounded as if some one was trying to un-
fasten the shutters. She Immediately
screamed and awakened Mrs. Harrison
and she also heard the noise and looking
through the Stats of the shutters they
could see the face of man.
The women began screaming and a
crowd soon collected around the house
and searched for the burglars, who in the
meantime had escaped across the rear
yard.
Mr.. Harrison is an engineer on the b.
& O. and was paid off yesterday. He
brought his money home and placed it in
the house and returned to work. This is,
no doubt, what they were after.
On the tin roof this morning tracks
could plainly be seen. Spots where they
had rubbed the dirt off with their cloth
ing, could also be seen.
After the incident the ladies, who oc-
cupied the house, were afraid to remain
in it the rest OF the night and went to the
home Of Mrs. Crimm,o ON Burke street, and
spent the remainder Of the night. No one
but the two ladies were in the house at
the time and it appears that the would-be
burglars were well acquainted with the
household.

Promoters fleet.

The promoters of the Public Park idea
met Wednesday night and decided to form
a permanent association and apply for a
charter. They also secured an option
upon three tracts of land owned by Mr..
Charles Roush.
The first tract is field of IS acres, at
81, 600 the second, a field of / 5 acres, at
81, 900; the third. at 81 900 IL acres. The
option on the first tract lasts for nine
months and on the other two for SIX
months.
This land is an excellent site for park
and if they decide TO purchase, it will be
park OF fifty acres altogether, which
will make an ideal public park
They will most likely purchase the
tract Of % acres at first, but they want
to purchase the entire fifty acres, which
will be sufficient for long driveways and
everything else essential to public park.
The gentlemen who signed the applica-
ton for charter are: l.. w. Robinson,
M. c. Tabier, ]. w. McSherry. Max Rob-
inson, H. T. Cnshwa, Allen B. Nol and
d. S. Eichelberger.
They will meet on Monday night to
elect permanent officers and adopt by
laws for the association. The canvass
ing committee has begun to solicit sub
scriptions. The donations from several
nurseries doing business around this sec
ton is expected to make sufficient num-
Der of trees to start with.
Those who make donations will thus
be brought before the public and their
generosity will bea great advertisement
to their business.

Who VIII Be Our Next President?

Politicians are now planning for the
Presidential campaign Of 1900, but the
war has so overshadowed all other mat
tiers that politics is almost unnoticed.
Many people are Of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1896,
but there maybe clark horse" who
will win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. This is also true
with medicine. The most popular reme-
dy today is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and it has retained this for many years.
Science never discovered the equal of this
medicine for stomach, liver and kidney
diseases. 1t builds up solid flesh tissue,
imparts vigor and vitality to all organs,
and makes life worth living. A bottle
will make big change for the better.

The Editor Figured He Had Bought
 Record Breaker.
 At certain season of the year usually about the 1st of October-it is the custom of the commissioners who have charge of the great parks in Chi lakes at certain hours in the morning, the fishermen in all eases being re- quired to use the boats that are kept for hire. This is to prevent the banks from being thronged with gangs of hoodlums. Early one October morn ing the editor of one of the great Chi cago dailies appeared at a west side park with friend, both equipped with fishing outfits of the most approved pattern. They secured a boat, and then the editor inquired if there were any live minnows on hand The keep CT of the boathouse inspected his bait bucket and found just one, a diminu- tive specimen, about an inch and half in length. He fshed this out and handed it over. Throwing him a silver half dollar and telling him to keep the change, the editor took the minnow, climbed into the boat and rowed out to the middle of the lake, where he ffshed for half an hour without result. At the end of that time he hauled in his line, looked carefully at the min now, took a pencil and note book from his pocket, did a little figuring. and returned to the shore. What did you get?" he was asked when he ap- peared at the office later in the day. One fish," he replied, "and it cost me $2o0 pound" This, it is believed is the highest price ever paid for live fish in Chicago.

The Germ That Cause. san.trohs.

An eminent doctor has been investi- gating the malady and has come to the conclusion that sunstroke is not due simply to excessive heat or ex- posture to the full rays of 3 eloudless sun. He declares that sunstroke Is, on the contrary, an infectious disease, caused, like fever or smallpox, by specific organism or germ. But this germ he has not yet succeeded tn isclating, though he hopes in course Of time to do so. There Is little doubt he says, that the germ Is bred in the superficial layers of the soil in cer- tain low-lying regions of the earth, and that it is imbibed into the hu- man system by the breathing of dusty air.

 pliment.


 pliment.
 Have you ever observed at q theater or concert that the people who are most deeply interested appear between the acts to be quite weary of the whole thing, yawning half dozen times in succession? The reason of this is a physiological one. When your atten- tion is much absorbed in anything ex- citing or touching you breathe in very shallow manner. and take into your lungs only half enough air. Con- sequently, when your attention is re- faxed, you have to make up the defi- eiency This you do by yawning, which, after all. is only breathing very deep breath. If you watch man at a play, and observe that he Is greatly moved by some incident. you may feel sure that when the scene ends he will sigh, and a moment or two later yawn repeatedly. Of course the yawning, so far from being Q sign of Weariness, is a proof of the liyellest appreciation. Very often you will ob- serve the same phenomenon in q girl reading a novel. And by her yawns you can tell when the end of some ab- sorbing incident is reached.
