THEY WERE EASY MEAT.

good game or even fair one on the
hospital grounds last Saturday, for,
while the Medicos put up the Al

they had no trouble disposing of the
visitors who were easy meat. The
fact of the matter is the Columbias
were hopelessly outclassed. They
might, perhaps, give good tussle to
some infant nine but they never again
should tackle grown-ups until they
have learned the game.

RECEPTION AND PICNIC.
Bayiey School Pupils have an outing and
Enjoy Themselves.

The usual graduating reception in
honor of the Glass of 1900 was given
in Bayley School Hall last Friday
evening. The hall was beautifully
decorated for the occasion and varied
program of literary and musical
character was given.
Miss Elizabeth Welsh, gave the
opening address of welcome, Miss
Mary Coin, one of the graduates then
recited the beautiful historical poem
Marguerite of France" J" The rendi-
tion on the piano of "The Palms, y by
Miss Julia Meskill, 1900, was warmly
applauded as was also the humorous
recitation "Auntie Doleful's Visit, :"
by Miss Helen Rutledge, the vale
dictorian of the class. But one Of the
most impressive features of the even
ing was the singing of the 1900 class
song. This beautiful piece combined
both the pathetic and the humorous,
the words being written for the
occasion and set to the music of Ben
Bolt. -
THE SCHOOL PICNIC.
On Saturday, days outing was
given the pupils of the Bayley and St.
Margaret's Schools at coax Lawn, =
the beautiful summer home Of Mr.. anu
Mrs. Patrick Farrelly, on Washington
avenue. About 400 children took part
in the. picnic and were allowed the
free and unreserved use of the spa
cious grove and beautiful lawns
which surround coax Lawn !"
Through the generosity of Mr. and
Mrs. Farrelly and Miss Frances
O'Reilly, all present were given lem
onade, cake and ice cream, seemingly
without limit. To say that the little
folks enjoyed themselves is unneces-
sary.
Before starting for home in the
evening, several patriotic hymns were
sung by the children after which eacn
one was presented with a large bag of
candy and peanuts and all appropriate
souvenir in the form of small flag.
Three rousing cheers were then given
for Mr.. and Mrs. Farrelly and Miss
O'Reilly to whom so many were in
debted for the days pleasure.

FIVE IDENTICAL SHIPS.
Secretary Longs Final Change in
Battleship Circular.

New York, June 14-Secretary Long
has made the last change in the battle
ship Circular which he Will probably
issue to shipbuilders today. according
to a Washington special to the Tribune.
Five identical ships viii be called for
For the three authorized year ago
bidders will be asked to quote prices
both with and without shearing, be-
cause the law stipulated that those YES
sells should be sheathed with wood and
copper The department endeavored in
effectively to have congress remove this
restriction at the last session. Both
houses of congress favored the project
to omit sheating, but the clause in the
bill to that effect disappeared at the last
moment. The other two ships were not
affected by the earlier stipulation and
the department has decided that they
shall not be sheathed. According to the
original design, the ships are covered
with coating OF copper on wooden
base applied to the steel skin or the i'm
mersed hull. which gives the vessels
Is, COO tons displacement The sheating
is about five inches thick and displaces
400 tons. The unsheated ships will each,
therefore, be of 500 tons displacement
and as the horsepower is the same IN
both instances the unSheated ships will
be faster and win steam greater dis
tance with the same coal capacity The
bids are expected to settle beyond dis
pute the actual cost of sheating.- A
clause is retained in the circular per-
mitting the department TO alter the bat
teries within six months after the con-
tract is signed. to provide for superinl-
posed turrets.
The first three ships have been named
the Pennsylvania. the New Jersey and
the Georgia and the names Virginia

DRIVEN FROM TOWN.
Eskridge Citizens BecOmeWeary
Of an Objectionable
Character.

Alma, Kan, June 14.-Jim Moore. who
lives at the edge of Eskridge, was taken
from his house Tuesday night by a mob
of 20 masked whitecaps and hung to a
telephone pole near the business portion
of the town. After hanging for three
minutes some one loosened the rope and
Moore dropped to the ground. He soon
began to struggle, and gaining his feet,
ran away at his best speed with the
mob following him and threatening
death to him If he ever set foot in the
town again.
Jim Moore is a colored man who bears
a very bad reputation. There were con-
stant rumors ahoat to the effect that
he was guilty of criminal intimacy with
his own daughter. 1t was for this that
the mob awakened him from his sleep,
and dragged him half clothed to the
telephone pole. He pleaded for a
chance to escape his captors, promising
to leave the county, but to no avail.
They remembered that not over two
years ago he was notified to leave Hall
fax, a few miles distant, and only did
so after his hut had been blown up and
burned by a mob of farmers. He went
from there to Manhattan where he was
afterWard arrested and convicted OF the
charge of intimacy with his daughter.
Not long ago he went to Eskridge. He
was notified repeatedly to leave.
The last seen Of him by the Eskrldge
folks was a black shadow flying over
the hills in the moonlight.

STORM SAVED BURGLARS.
Surrounded in Florence, Safe Break
ers Escaped in the Darkness.

Florence, Kan, June 14.-Burglars
pried open the door Of the Marion Coun-
ty State bank and blew the vault doors
open, probably with dynamite, but
We're unable to break into the safe
proper. After taking a few stamps and
mutilated coins, they went to the
Palace drug and jewelry store, blew the
door of the safe and took about $40 in
money and jewelry valued at from $500
to $500
The report from the charge used ON
the safe aroused persons living near the
store, who Immediately got out with
guns and rsyolvers and surrounded the
store. However, a heavy thunderstorm
and the downpour OF rain came, making
it so dark that the burglars easily
escaped Twenty or thirty shots We're
exchanged between the citizens and
burglars. This is the third time this
year that this store has been robbed IN

NEW LELAND RUMOR.
Has He Solicited Help of National
Administrations

The anti-boss league will turn over
in its grave when the rumor that Cy
Leland has asked aid from the ma
tional administration to retain his place
on the national committee reaches its
last resting place.
Some industrious citizen has started
the report that Mr.. Leland has per-
sonally solicited the aid of Mark Hanna
and the president in his favor for re-
election as national committeeman,
which has proved sufficient to start
the anti-Leland camp buzzing again
Although Mr.. Leland has not said at
any time that he wanted to retain the
office, there is a suspicion among some
of the statesmen that Leland has some
thing up his sleeve which may yet turn
what is regarded as defeat into vic
tory.

NO GOLD TICKET.
General Buckrer Thinks None WillBe
Nominated.


New York, June 14.-General Simon 3.
Buckner is in this city on his way TO
Europe. In the course of an interview
last night, he was asked:
DO you think the gold Democrats
will put a ticket in the field this fall?
My opinion is that they VIII not; re-
piled he. But of course, much Will de-
pend upon the action OF the conventions
at Philadelphia and Kansas City"
Are the gold Democrats as strong
numerically as in 1852
Yes. Stronger if anything. While 1t
is true that some who voted for US or
for Mckinley have returned to the
Democratic fold, we have gained many
recruits. We fought for a principle in
1896 and are prepared to make another
struggle if necessary. Neither General
Palmer nor myself had any idea of be-
ing elected, but we believed we would
succeed in saving the honor of the
country. That we did do and have also
brought about the adoption of the gold
standard. The free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l is
dead as an issue, but the Bryanites may
try to make it one"
How will the south vote this year ?"
THE south viii be practically solid
for the Democratic party except in Ken
lucky, Maryland and Delaware. While
many southern Democrats will support
McKinley's expansion policy, there are
not enough of them to overcome the
/ Democratic majorities. Were the Re
| publicans united in Maryland and Della
ware l should believe that the Mckinley
electors would win there AS matters
! stand they have a fighting chance"
How about Kentucky?"
Il firmly believe that Kentucky will
give it's electoral vote to the Republican
| ticket. There is a very strong feeling
among many Democrats that Goebelism
| deserves a rebuke and Mr.. Bryan injur-
! ed himself with that class of Democrats
( by entering cur state and taking an ac-
4 tive part in the campaign in the inter-
est OF Goebel.''

general opinion that Gates is the repre-
