STANDING OF CLUBS.

The rain which spoiled the sport at
the Island base ball park Friday after
noon, continued through the night, and
up to the hour for calling the game
yesterday afternoon. The diamond
was saturated, and small pools of water
collected about the bases. 1t was i'm
possible to play, even if a steady driz-
zle had not been falling at 80 o'clock.
This afternoon Dayton will open
series of three games with the home
club, and if the weather is favorable
the biggest crowd of the season will
attend. Several excursions will come
into the city from Ohio towns, and
hundreds of visitors will go over to the
ball park. 1t will be a battle for the
leadership in the Interstate race. Sko-
pee or Poole will probably pitch the
opening game for the home club.
The management announces that it
will continue playing Sunday games for
charity, notwithstanding the checks
mailed to the orphans homes have been
returned. This afternoon game will
be a benefit for Jake Wells, who pitched
for Wheeling last year and was signed
at the beginning of the season. When
he reported he was sick and very weak,
and instead Of improving, his health
has become worse. Wells will not be
able to play ball during the. present
season. He will depart this week for
Denver, or for some point in Texas.

BENEFIT BASE BALL.
Two Games to be Played at the
island Park on Decoration Day.

Two Games to- be Played at the
island Park on Decoration Day.
Although the Wheeling base ball
club will not play at home on Decora-
ton Day, this city will not be without
a fine article of the great American
game by any means. On the contrary
the lovers of the sport will be given
the opportunity of seeing two very in
teresting games, one in the morning
between the lawyers and county Of
ficiais and in the afternoon between
the fireTsen and police.
The proceeds from the games will
go into a fund now being raised for
the family of Alex. Garden Of South
Huron street, who has been laid up
for the past two years with locomotor
ataxica.
The idea originated among num-
Der of the friends of the afflicted man,
and they set out at once to see what
could be done toward raising y fund
by subscription. Then some one sug-
gested the ball games and the commit
tee having the affair in charge con-
suited the directors Of the street rail-
way line about securing the grounds,
etc. Mr.. Garden had been employed
by the company as conductor for nine
years previous TO his illness, and the
railway people Immediately consulted
with Manager Haley Of the ball team
and the grounds were secured. Not
only did the directors do this, but they
headed the subscription list with $50,
a most graceful and generous action.
The object of the games is a worthy
one and should, and no doubt will,
meet with the hearty response OF all
citizens. MIR. Garden is about IS years
of age and has wife and three small
children to care for He was previous
to accepting a posieIon on the railway
line, an employee OF the La Belle mill,
which fact will serve 10 interest the
iron and tin men n the success of the
ball games. The committee having
the affair in charge is composed of
Messrs. Fergus Whaley, Geo. Brad
bury. NJ. /. Etzler, NJ NJ MeGee, Chas.
McCarty and Benj. Beers.
The programme arranged for Decor
alton Day is corker," and that
every attendant will get his moneys
worth. goes without saying. Not be-
ing content with the amusement ball
games viii furnish. the committee has
named Col. Bill Turner. of the police
force, TO take charge of and has ar
ranged a grand cake walk 70 take
place Immediately after the afternoon
game. Other special features will fol-
low the cake walk. 1t is the desire of
those interested that enough money
can be raised to start the afflicted man
in some kind Of light business
The line up for the two games will
be as follows.

THE WHEEL.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Sammy Haines, who secured time
and first place in the Y. A. c. c. road
race Tuesday evening, has not received
his prizes. In fact the prizes are all
being withheld until the protest against
Haines is decided. Haines entered un-
der the name of Edwin Brown. He
claims the reason for this was 10 keep
his parents from finding out that he
intended TO ride. One of the handi-
cappers claims that Haines' entry
blank stated that he had only ridden
six weeks. Haines has ridden since
1896. The Handicapped also claims
that LIaines was over age. Until this
matter is settled none will receive any
prizes. Had Haines entered under his
own name he would most certainly
would have been put on scratch.

Of the cut NAH manufacturers ID de-
eide OF q cut. IN prices that / know of,
and ! would know II there was any.
There will be, however, q meeting tn
Washington, D. c., some time this
week to merely discuss the situation
THE cut nail people were very con-
sentative In fixing their prices. They
did not follow the example of the 9TH
er people who put their prices way up
at every opportunity. The trade in
the cut nails has not come up to expec-
tations. I think if you will examine
into the matter you will find that the
stocks throughout the country are
very light and will soon, of necessity,
have to be replenished, therefore, we
anticipate a good trade as a result and
it ought to come very soon.
THE wire nail people have put their
prices way below cost. in &ct, I
think they are hardly getting the price
Of raw material out Of them. What
they are driving at, in all probability,
is the outside concerns, and some of
them cut some little figure.
1--WE are not averse to letting the
trade know that we are to have a
meeting to discuss the matter, in fact,
we rather want them to know it. l
will tell you, though, the meeting will
not be for the purpose of cutting prices,
for, as / intimated before. the price
is about as low as it can be quoted"
At present the prices on cut nails
range as follows: 1000 key lots, $3.50;
carload lots, S2.55; to the jobbers.
$3.50; to the retail trade, S2.70.

Another friend, a lady who is a

1t will be observed from the above
that each person showed an increase
in sturdy strength, brought about by
leaving off coffee and the use of Pos
tum Food Coffee. The reason for this
experience is that the poisonous aka
loids contained In regular coffee, pros
trated the nervous system, bringing on
all sorts of aches and ails, and disin-
tegrating the delicate cells in the nerve
centers, destroying and throwing out
the elements absolutely required by
Nature for maintaining good, sound
nervous strength and health.
When coffee is discontinued, Nature
seeks to set up a healing and repair
the damage. The efforts of Nature are
powerfully aided by certain elements
in Postum Food Coffee which come
from parts Of the field grain, selected
especially for the purpose, by the MAX
ers of Postum. One of the principal
elements is phosphate of potash-a deli
cate, microscopic product used by the
system in combination with albumen
of the food to make up the cells in the
nerve centres of the human body.
There is a w~ell-defned reason why
people can add greatly to their
strength and health by leaving on cot
fee and using Postum FOOD Coffee.
