On last Monday afternoon the first game OF
baI for this season between Newberry and
the home team was called on schedule time
at 1870 O'Clock. The boys were in good splrlts
and tiue trim, and close aud Interesting
game was played throughout. The crowd
not as large as usual, owing we suppose to the
threnteping appearance OF the elements, as =
storm seemed brewing until late in the game.
We heard some complaint among the crowd
az TO want Of interest. from the TACT that
there was q very small percentage of the
home team, Abbeville boys but this should
not be the existing feeling from the TACT thai
the specials now playing ON the AbbeVllle
team are "Abbeville boys for the bal season,
besides 1t must be remembered that the op.
pOsipg teams are not all Of the town from
Whence they come, but just as the AbbeVllle
team, are "picked up" here and there; AT
the close of the 9Th inning the score stood 10

NAVAL ARCH ABANDONED.

When New York City, stirred by a
great patriotic impulse, decided to erect
a naval arch. the rest of the country was
a bit skeptical. The temporary arch,
a magnificent structure, was baift and
.,the ardor increased. y million dollar
arch. to be quilt Of marble, was talked
Of, a committee to solicit funds was APP
pointed and the preliminary work vas
carried out with much enthusiasm. Fin
ally Dewey came home, the splendid re-
esotion given and it was all over. The
enthusiasm died out and ,matters drag
ged along until the other dayStheaFnagfi-
fcent temporary arch was torD-loWn.
The committee decided to put upA small:
er monument. as it had $21O, 900 in cash
and pledges subscribed, but after a brief
discussion as to the form it should take,
that, too, was abandoned. Now comes
the announcement of the committee that
it has dropped the whole business, and
will return the money to the subscribers.
People will recall how New York
plunged into the Grant monument pro-
ject, With what enthusiasm the work was
begun. and how it afterwards dragged
along for years.
This latest fiasco, the naval arch, is
like New York, but it is not at all i'm
probable that some smaller city will take
up the work and carry it out successful
". The naval arch was designed to
commemorate one of the greatest sea
fights in the history of the world, and
the purpose back of the original monu-
ment will doubtless yet find expression.

JUDGE CRUMPACKER'S PLAN.

Representative Crumpacker, of In
diana, on Monday introduced a reappor-
tionment bill in the house. Under it's
provisions, the house would have s65
members, eight more than are in the
present organization. and 1913, 900 %popula-
ton is made the basis of the establish
ment of each district.
One feature of the measure that will
attract general attention., however, is
its recognition of negro acknowledgements
in the southern states. While the bill is
not radical in that direction, 1t would re-
duce the vote of these states consider
ably.
Judge Crumpacker says he is fully
aware of the disposition in some quarters
to pass by, at this session, the matter of
disfranehisement but has fully made III
his mind to bring up the question a! once
He said:
l propose to find out what is the sen,i-
ment of the house on this question as to
whether II is IN favor or the suppression
OF the negro vote of the south or wheth-
er it is in favor of a free and untram-
meled vote.
Under the Crumpacker plan, losses
would be sustained by the southern state
would be sustained by the southern
states as follows; Louisiana, 2; Missis,
sippi, g.; North Carlina, 4; South Caro-
lima 3; Virginia, 1.

THE ROBINSON CASE.

The Missoulian: 1t has developed that
Mrs. Grace Robinson of Libby really left
her husband after robbing him, for rob
berry it was. There is a little romance
connected with the affair. Grace BRIGGS,
a Michigan school girl, heard of George
Robinson, a Montana miner, who want
ed a wife, and began a correspondence
which ended in marriage. He certain
ly was good to her, for he gave her MON
ey and mining stock, and surrounded her
with luXuries eldom found in a mining
camp. Having bled t1im all he Woula

berry followed, but she was released and
now has what she stole to live upon. She
will so her gait and the end thereof VIII

WORK Before CONGRESS.

Senator Hanna predicts that the pres
ent session of congress will be a bust
ness session in the strictest sense While
it will last but three months, he believes
that the time will be sufficient to pass
such legislation as is really necessary.
In his opinion the Frye shipping bill
will pass. Senator Hanna has long been
impressed with the Importance of this
measure.
As to the Nicaragua canal bill. de-
much depends. in his opinion. on the out
come of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. If
it is ratified. and the senator thinks it
will be. the bill will undoubtedly be
passed.
AS to the army bill, Senator Hanna
says that stands in a different light
from the other measures. There will be
practically no opposition to if. and there
will be no delay in passing it.
A large portion of the war taxes VIII
he removed, n with these measures
put of the way. there will still be time
to consider much other business.
This line on legislation at the present
session is probably as accurate as any
that can be given at this time.

FIFTY-TWO MILLIONS.
Vanderbilt Estate Being Settled-El-
der Brother Gets a Slice.

New York, Dec. S.-The World says
hat the heirs of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt have agreed to the appraise-
men of the estate as made by G.. D.
Hasbrouck, representing the state con-
troller. The appraisement is So, 500, 900
for the real estate.
Under this agreement decided upon,
Alfred will get $36. 500, 900 and his entire
fortune will amount to $44, 900, 900. But
out of the %residuary estate Alfred has
agreed to give to Cornelius Sc, 900, 900 in
order to prevent a lawsuit threatened
because the eldest brother was cut off
with only 81, 500, 900. The total amount
coming to Cornelius, inclusive of he
portion from the residuary estate, will
reach 81, 800, 900.
The transfer tax on the Vanderbilt
estate will reach $3.50, 900.
