TWO GAMES A WEEK.
Manager Kelley Of the Brownson's
Has Arranged for Some First
Glass Base Ball Playing.

Glass Base Ball Playing.
Base ball lovers OF Wilmington will
now be given the opportunity to witness
the best professional and semi-profes-
aional base ball playing in the country.
Manager Kelley of the Brownson Club
has arranged to have two games week,
beginning on Saturday. The games will
be played ON Thursdays and Saturdays.
In tre first place Manager Kelley of
the Brownson Club is placing a team
here fully up to the standard, capable of
of playing as strong ball as any team
which has represented Wilmington in
the past.
On Saturday the strong Highland Club
of Philadelphia will play. Then the
Thursday and Saturday schedule begins.
The Athletics of Chester, one of the
strongest semi-professional teams will be
one of the attractions. This nine has
played all the Atlantic Leagues teams,
the Philadelphia club and others, and
made most creditable showing. The
Chesters, rival organization of the Ath-
etics, equally strong, will come, as will
also the Cuban Giants, Norristown and
other teams in this class.
The opportunity for seeing interesting
contests is excellent. But 1t will depend
on the support the Brownsons receive
whether they will be successful through
out the season. The management hopes
to see the game we'll patronized, SO that
the team will be encouraged in its efforts
to maintain strong playing aggregation.

COL. H. S. BUNKER
Commits Suicide at Toledo, Shoot
Ing Himself With a Revolver.

Col. Henry S. Bunker, a leading
lawyer of Toledo, committed suicide
in his private Office, Wednesday. morn
ing, between 700 and 500 o'clock. His
body was warm when found. He sat
in chair at his desk, and shot himself
with revolver, back of the ear. He
was one of the most prominent men in
the city and was highly esteemed.
In 1867 he resided in Bellefontaine,
and clerked for Messrs. Gardner &
Baldwin. While here he made the &C.
quaintance of Miss Hattie Arnett, a
sister of Mrs. Della Johnston of our
city, whom he married, and their
daughter, Miss Cora, is their only sur
viving child. Mrs. Bunker died and
he was again married at Toledo, but
had no other children.
Col. Bunker was gallant soldier in
the civil war, and became Colonel in
the Ohio National Guard since the war,
serving with distinction.
No cause for his terrible deed is
given. He was So years old, and was a
man of great popularity. He was born
at Cardington, Ohio.
P. S.-The theory now is that Col
Bunker was murdered. Physicians
say he could not have shot himself
without burning his hair, and leaving
po WIDER in his skin.

THE LADIES LIKE
Pretty Things to Wear in the Spring
time.

One of the prettiest spring models in
Paris gowns has short bolero curv-
ing in the back in two scallops, over a
deep pointed girdle of moiresilk. The
gown is of marine blue cheviot, with
the front panel piped with white.
Pale blue and beige are to be combin-
ed in the spring novelties. A beige
homespun with pale blue facings on the
jaunty Elton coat is one of the newest
models.
/ Insertions of lace continue to be
worn in fashion both simple and COM
plicated. An evening gown ''just from
Doucet" has insertions all over the
skirt in large lozenges, and smaller
lozenges in the bodice and sleeves.
The bulldog toe is much liked for
golf and outing shoes, but having a
tendency to make the foot look clumsy
it is too ungainly for general feminine
choice. The shoe par excellence is the
well made kid boot, and its calf help
mates, which are being worn with the
fiat or new Cuban heel.
The waist is receiving more atten-
tion each season, for it is susceptible OF
great things under intelligent manage
men. The French back is intrench-
ing itself more strongly every day in
popular favor. 1t is used both plain
and with combinations of tucks, pleats,
box pleats and cords. A large box
pleat down the back is effective, and
may become prime favorite, as it will
fall in nicely with the double box
pleats on the new skirts. Fancy has
run riot in designing silk waists, and
has produced innumerable uniq ue eff
| fects in cross cords and cord and hem
stitch combinations.
Spring dresses are to be light in col
or. A sapphire blue cloth with Eton
jacket, having turned down collar
and wide scalloped revers faced with
sapphire blue panne edged with white
lace, is a charming example.
Black and white are again to be
combined in both costumes and milli-
merry. Black broadcloth with white
moire trimmings is effective and chic
in the former, and black Neapolitar
straw with feathers and bows of black
and white tulle in the latter.
The military spirit has even invaded
fashion in England, and the girls are
wearing the yeoman hat. Some ust
the regulation chin strap, which the.
fasten under the hair. The tam o
shanter, Familiarity known as ''tam
N.Y." has taken new hold on life, ant
many of the spring costumes will b,
completed by its jaunty grace.
In the majority of cases hosiery viii
be mOnotint. Some fancy hosiery i

however, not considered the best taste

BURNED BY GAS.

Our Office force has been crippled by
sickness, among the hands, for two Or
three weeks-frst one, then another,
being sick with grip, neuralgia, gather
ing in the head, and cold, and Tuesday
morning, Mr.. Emerson Detrick remark
ed that the editor and he were the only
ones who had kept on deck. An hour or
two after, while looking inside the cast
iron base of the engine for lost article,
he struck match, and a flame of gas
fared out, singing his hair and eye
brows, and badly burning his face. He
had taken the precaution to shut off the
gas, and the large door of the base was
kept open, but enough gas had gather
ed in the top of the base to make large
flash, and the painful accident was the
work of second. He is still confined
to the house, with very sore face.
The editor was close by and his NOUS
tache and right eye brow were singed
slightly, but he carries accident insur-
ance, and was not injured. He is still on
deck but is not Dragging about it.

PASSE-PARTOUT FRAMES.
A Useful and Pleasant Pastime for the
Lenten Season.

AS many inquiries have been received
as to the making of passe-partouts, the
Instructions are herewith given:
The materials for making passe-par
! touts are colOred cardboard for the
mat, and granulated paper, correspond
ing in tint, for the binding. The glass
may be purchased for few cents at
GLACIERS or paint shop, where it will be
cut to any required size.
Measure the size of the picture Sc
lected, and calculate an appropriate
size for the mat. making the measure
ments all around equal, drawing the
line by a correct rule, and allowing the
inside edges of the mat slightly to over
lap the edges of the print, so that it
will be well covered. Cut out the mat,
carefully following the pencil lines with
a specially sharpened knife or the point
of an ink-eraser. Trim off any ragged
or uneven edges with sharp scissors,
and fasten the mat to the print with
paste at the outer edges, laying it un-
der weight to dry. 1t is rather diff
ficult matter to cut the mat accurately,
and it is better to have it done at a
shop where pictures are framed.
For the back, cut piece of heavy
pasteboard the exact size, and mark off
one or two tiny slits, according to the
size of the picture, two-thirds of the
distance from the top. Small brass
rings are used for hangers and are
strung on narrow ribbon about two in
ches long. The ribbon doubled over
the rings,~Sis passed through the Sits
and gummed down on the inner side of
the back. Now glue the mat to the
back, bringing all edges evenly togeth-
er, and again lay it under weights to
dry. In the meantime cut strips from
the binding paper about seven-eighths
of an inch wide, no less. Lay all parts
evenly together, and bind them length
wise with strong cord to hold them
firmly. Gum the binding strips, and
press smoothly and evenly along each
side of the glass at about quarter-inch
width, then bind the edges oyer on the
back and smooth them down as firmly
as possible. Remove the cord, bind the
top and bottom in the same manner, and
carefully mitre the corners.
The cardboard may be bought for 20
cents sheet, and the binding paper for
cents, and five or six prints of moder-
ate size may be framed from one sheet.
Library paste is the best to use, as it
dries quickly and the paper never loos-
ems afterward

SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

| The Republican County Convention
to select delegates to the Congression-
al Convention, meets tomorrow at Belle
fontaine. 1t would have been the best
thing if the call had ordered the selec-
tion of delegates by precinct primaries
throughout the District. But the ma
jority of this Committee deereed that
each county should select its delegates
as its Central Committee might deter
mine. This was a great improvement
on the methods employed by the gang
in the District, heretofore, but we will
not have just the right thing till the
delegates are selected all over the Dis
trict, the same day, at precinct prima-
ries.
But under the decree of the Commit
tee the delegates have been or will be
selected by counties. InDelaware, the
Central Committee declared for Mr. Ly
brand for third term, and gave him
the privilege of selecting his own dele
gates. The people, as usual where Mr.
Ly OIdiu COuOTOlS, WStO uCb III 4hi'
Lybrand appointed the delegates.
In Champaign county, the Committee
adopted resolution in favor of Judge
Warnock. The delegates will be Sc
lected at the April primary. AS there
is no opposition in the county to Judge
Warnock's candidacy, the delegation
will be solid.
In Hancock county the Committee
declared in favor of Mr.. Ross, and he
has named the delegates.
In Hardin, Judge Hoge, Prof. Fess,
and Mayor Black were candidates
They agreed to submit their chances
to a county delegate convention. Mr..
Fess captured the Convention, and will
name the delegates from Hardin.
In Union county, Mr.. Fullington and
Mr.. Ayers are candidates. They have
agreed to submit their chances at a
county primary, and the one who car
ries the county will name the delega-
tion to the Congressional Convention.
Thus, it will be seen, every county
in the District, but Logan, has already
provided that its delegation should be
solid.
In view of these facts, Logan county
should not throw away her influence in
the Congressional Convention by send
ing divided delegation. If she would
have influence, she must hold together.
If she should send divided delegation
one man might defeat the wishes of all
the rest of the delegation. Send SOL
i'd delegation of honorable Republi-
cans, who will vote for no man who
seeks position by unworthy practices.

BAD WORK
Of Two Miserable Ours, Last Sunday
Night.

Monday morning after breakfast, Mr..
Ezra Shoots, who lives near Harper, on
going out to feed flock of his sheep
at sheep barn, just back of his house,
found great number of his sheep dead
or crippled, and two miserable dogs
still at their cruel work. Two shots OF
Mr.. Shoots rifle soon rang out, and two
ornery ours were numbered with the
worthless dead. On taking an inventory
of his flock, Mr.. Shoots found $50 out OF
200 sheep killed or wounded. Some 40
of the wounded were so badly crippled
that they had to be killed, and the loss
in killed thus ran up to so or go. The
sheep were in the barn yard and could
not get away, and therefore ran into a
bunch with their heads together, and
were hamstrung by the dogs that
snapped and bit at their headquarters.
Many of them had their legs broken by
being run over a gap in a fence,
being caught between rails.
The sheep were of the improved De-
laine Merino variety, which Mr.. Shoots
had been breeding the wrinkles out OF
for several years. There were lis
yearling lambs and 80 weathers in the
lot.
The men who were hired to kill the
crippled sheep, sickened at the job and
had to leave part of it till next day.
The dogs belonged at Harper and
| were at their murderous work the
whole night through, having been
heard through the night by the tele.
graph operator at Harper, and by q
passer by as early as o'clock Sunday
night.
| Mr.. Shoots loss will amount to about
S700, but his feelings over the suffering
of the innocent animals, and the de.
struction of his fine herd can only be
| imagined.
