Newspaper Men and Others Entained
at Wheeling Park Yesterday.
Yesterday the Wheeling Park man
agement entertained the newspaper
men, city officials, and other invited
guests. A special w. & e. G. car,
departing from the Sixteenth street
station at two o'clock, was well filed.
Col. August Rolf did the honors, as
sisted by the corps of attaches of the
Park, and the afternoon was delight
fully spent.
When the party arrived, Col. Rolf
gave his guests possession of the bowl
ing alleys. Two teams were chosen,
captained respectively by Chas. II.
Henning and Fred Colmar, and EN-
bracing all the guests. Three games
were played, and the Colmar team
captured the odd one. No records
were broken, but the champion low
score was in danger several times The
games were distinguished by more
rivalry than skill.
After the bowling came the conven-
tional luncheon. 1t was a spread such
as only those who have been fortunate
enough to be guests of the Park on
Press Day, will understand. There
was considerable merriment about The
table during it's progress, and a mum
Der of addresses were made. The
speakers were H. F. Behrens, George
Hook, c. H. fancy. H. c. ogden, Fred
Colmar, Thos. O'Brien, Jr., and others.
Col. Rolf responded in a very felicitous
speech to the kind things which were
said of the Park and the Park manage
ment.
Col. Rolf closed with the very happy
suggestion that the party take a trip
on the merry go-round. There WAS
an eager acceptance. and there Vas a
scramble to reach the backs Of favor
ite quadrupeds. The guests OF the
Park returned to the city in the early
evening

Local News From the City of Mills
and Factories.
Sad Death,

Abe Greer, of the orchard died last
evening after a weeks illness. 1t will
be remembered that on last Wednesday
Mr.. Greer took a large quantity of ar
senic. with the intent of committing
suicide, but by quick medical treat
ment the action of the poison was
ayerted, but he never recovered and
died last evening. Mr. Greer labored
under the idea that he had consump-
ton and would soon die. With this
idea he took the poison. leaving a wife
and two children. He has always been
an industrious man, and had a cool
position in the Aetna Standard mill,
but his mind seemed TO become affected
with the above result. The funeral
Will take place Thursday.

Negotiations for the kennedy-Ben-
nett Contest at the Metropolitan
Club.
The Kennedy-Bennett- fight, which
the police prevented from taking place
at the Emerald Club in Pittsburg the
other night, may be pulled off in the
arena of the Metropolitan club. Man
ager Mcnamara of the Emerald club
communicated with NJ A. C. officials
regarding the n tier, and will be down
to-day to try to close the deal. He
thinks that no less than 1900 peopie
would come down from Pittsburg to
witness the fight, as the sporting fra
ternity up there is very much worked
up over it.
Manager Mcnamara wanted to sub
stitute Kennedy for Collyer next Mon
day night to which the NJ A. C. offic-
ials could not consent, as a matter of
course. If it takes place here it may
be made a Fair week card.

STANDING OF CLUES.

Peppery ball playing was the fea-
ture of the struggle for victory be-
tween the Nailers and Senators yes
terday There was all kinds of spice in
the work of the fielders. Base runners
took daring chances, and no oppor-
tunity was overlooked. 1t was a gilt
edged exhibition, and no man who is
a "fan" at heart would criticise either
club for losing such contest. From
"batter up" to the final you're out"
in the ninth, the excitement was at
fever pitch. 1t was a game of the
nature that begets rooters.
The twirlers were both on their
mettle. Wolfe, with his knock knees
and perpetual dental advertisement,
was a host in himself. When six inn
ings had been played, and Wheeling
had not scored he concentrated all
his thoughts, his energies, his ambi-
tions, upon plastering the local team
with whitewash. He succeeded. TO
ward the close his success was achiev-
ed not through the players behind
him, but in spite of them.
Eddie Poole-old reliable, cool,
heady Eddie-was also scme pump
kins in the game, and when he was
in a tight box-there were one or two
such situations-he was effective and
prevented scores. The visitors fairly
earned their victory, however, before
Eddie settled down to business. 1t
was in the first inning that they made
what proved to be the winning run.
Bradley led off with a safe one to
right and was forced at second by
Robinson, who failed in an attempt
to sacrifice. Bevilles two-bagger
scored Robinson, but Beville did not
try for home on McCome's single, and
McCome and Locke were retired on
the latter's fly to Meaney, promptly
fielded back to Boyd.
Poole gave a nice exhibition in the
fourth inning, when Locke and Will
Jams, the nrSt Two men up, made sim
giles, and advanced a base each on
McAllisters out at first Eudlows
gift filled the bags, but Wolfe hit to
Poole, who folded the ball to the
plate, retiring Locke, and Ritter
threw to Boyd to retire Wolfe.
Wheeling went down for the next
post in order, Poole and Cockman be-
ing the only players who succeeded in
hitting safely, each drawing two. In
the eighth inning, with one out, Rit-
ter got lift on wild throw by Eud
low, started to steal second and went
around to third, where Robinson miss
ed the ball, but died there.

Another Change in the Interstate

Takes Place To-day--Notes of the
Game.
Another change in the circuit OF the
Interstate base ball league will take
place to-day, when the Marion and Co
lumbus teams will play their first game
in Anderson, Ind. Anderson is the
second Indiana gas town to capture
an Interstate franchise within a few
weeks. There will be great rivalry be-
tween Marion and Anderson, just as
there was between Youngstown and
New Castle. The two Indiana towns
are experiments, and may develop
strength enough to remain perma-
nently in the Interstate. 1t is to Oe
regretted that such a city as Column
bus has TO be dropped from the Cir
cult, but Columbus fans" cannot be
blamed for refusing to patronize
weak Interstate team, after having had
taste of Western League and Amer
lean Association base ball. The CO.
lumbus, now Anderson team, is strong,
and it is difficult to understand why
it occupies such low position in the
race. Perhaps the encouragement the
players will receive in new town
will be of material assistance.
P. r. Haley has notedsthe fact that
Youngstown and Columbus have been
permitted to transfer their teams with
out any objection on the part of the
League. He alleges that President
Power refused to grant the same priv
ilege at a time when he had an OPP
portunity to secure cash considera-
ton for the transfer of the team to
Grand Ropids. Haley will appear be-
fore ule Board of Directors at the
close of the season, and intimates that
litigation may result from the situa-
ton.
Catcher Beville is one of the best
in the business. He is always in the
game, an excellent backstop, accur-
ate thrower, and very handy sticker.
He will probably be drafted into the
National League at the close OF the
season.
Pitcher "Bumpus" Jones and first
baseman Tom Turner will join the
Wheeling team in Mansfield to-day,
and it is likely that the losing streak
will be broken. Wheeling plays six
games with Mansfield in four days.

Yesterday several men took upon
themselves the act of breaking a small
poney on the furnace ground, but
from their actions it would really be
hard to tell what they really meant to
do. They had rope AROUND the ami
malls neck and with this tried to force
it to do their bidding, which it SEEM
ed totally in ignorance of, and as 1t
failed to do their inhuman biddings.
they would beat the animal until they
got tired and then try their training
actions over again followed by the
beating operation. Finally, late in the
evening, the poor animal died from
the effects of its beating and its train
ers then had to quit. The authorities
will look into the case.

UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS.
Surgical Operation for Cure of Piles
Discarded by Best Medical
Aufh0ritteS

A prominent CRITICAL surgeon says: ut is
the duty of every surgeon to avoid an OPP
Grafton IL possible to cure in any other
way. This is especially true in the treat
ment Of piles and rectal troubles because
such operations are attended with excru-
eating pain and serious danger to life by
collapse of the nervous system"
Furthermore, operations for piles are
often unsuccessful and always very ex-
pcnsive.
The most advanced physicians now rise
and recommend the use of astringents
combined with healing oils OF vegetable
extraction, and administered in SUPPOSE
tory form. The most widely used and best
known remedy of this character is the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure, sold by druggists every
where. This pile cure contains no cocaine,
no opiate. no poisonous drug whatever. and
single 50-cent package in some in
stances has cured cases Of several years
standing.
The harmless acids, astringents, and oils
contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause
the blood vessels and congested veins to
contract to natural condition, the little
tumors are absorbed, and the cure is made
without pain, Inconvenience. or detention
from daily occupation.
Being in sdppository form, II can be car
ried In the pocket. always ready for use.
Ointments, salves. and pills sometimes
relieve piles, but they do not cure.
The safest and surest way to cure any
form Of piles-itching. bleeding. or pro-
truding-is to use the Pyramid Pile Cure.
Full sized packages at all drug stores,
so cents.
