BEATEN TWICE BY EAGLES.
Carroll Institute Gets Fourth Place IL
Bowling League.

Carroll Institute settled the question of
the championship of the District Bowling
League, as far as its chances were con-
cerned, in the match at the Golden Eagle
alleys last night. The Eagles won two of
the games and the margin in the only win
ming game of the visiting team could not
have been smaller, since they won by a
single pin. The best the CAROLS can now
hope for is to improve their standing slight
ly. for the result of the games last night
forces the Institute down to fourth place,
the Y. NJ c. A. going into third. and with
any kind OF playing tonight in their match
with the Saengers the association boys will
make Il lively bid for the championship
themselves.
In last nights series a splendid lot of
games were put up, and for the first time
this season both cubs made over 500 in
each game. This is indeed creditable work,
and 1t Is possible that the record has never
previously been made in the local league.
Old players last night could not recall q
previous occurrence of this sort of bowl
ing. There were a number of good averages
made by the players last night, and Har-
low and German both played In splendid
style for the visiting five. For some reason
Rice was of and got in two games below
his customary scores Locraft did well and
indicates that he should have been added
to the team ranks at an earlier period.
Merritt found Jonah present and left the
game in the eighth frame of the first con-
test. He was replaced by O'Connor, who
finished well. Every man on the home team
averaged well, though Armstrong was very
high in one game and very low in another.
His last game abounded in splits, against
which no man bowl. SO that the low
score Is easily explainab,e.
The first game was nip and tuck con-
/ test, with the chances about equal through
out. Toward the end the game was very ex-
| citing, and but for 40 split for Harlow
| on the first ball on the last frame the re-
| suit would likely have been different, as he
had a break'ess game previous to that in
| ming. The score follows:

The Railroad Trust.
Address to Railroad Men
in the United States.

Denver, Col B. L. EeIss W c. Frazer, Committed
stand out in bold relief against the horizon of
tyranny, so general since the first dispute" be
tween labor and capital upon railroads. We
further assert that the responsibility for the great
concentration of railroad interests IS laid the
door of the republican party. While that party
IS IN power, there is no hope for railroad reform
benehting the employee
Railroad pools, trust combinations and syndi-
Gates, can only be effectively eradicated by gov
mental ownership. To this attainment railroad
men must get educated upon the subject and in
every lawful manner agitate it. until II IS accom-
plished. Organization of a secret, legitimate
character should be formed for concentrated
political action, and no candidate whatever hav-
ing voice IN legislative or executive Office should
receive the support of railroad employees who is
not pledged to further governmental ownership
of railroads and telegTaPhs. Labor is at last
finding out that by united political action, it eau
absolutely control legislation.
The United States stands IN the ridiculous
position of being the only important nation not
owning or controlling its railroads. Under gov
ernmental ownership the grievances given as
enumerated herein, would disappear, as they
have IN the postal service where they have no
strikes no blacklist, intimidation or coercion
at elections no cuts IL wages or salaries, but
advances and Permanency of occupation, where
short working hours is the rule and earning suf-
Gent to lay something by for old age or sickness,
and perhaps a pension, which IS now being agi-
tated IN the postal service.
The social democracy, headed by Eugene V.
Debs, embraces public ownership of railroads,
but at this election and perhaps for an indefinite
period, 1t viii not carry political influence. The
people of the United States are not yet prepared
for socialism, as exPounded by his platform
Politics should be practical not theoretical nor
visionary The abolitionists of the north under
stood this, and allied themselves with a strong
party favOrng but not really pledged to abolition
of slavery They succeeded in their aims by
coalition, alone they would have failed.
William Jennings Bryan and his parry, consti-
tuting the democracy, peoples party, silver re-
publican party, stand pledged against trusts.
The railroad trust is so stuPendous in its forma-
tion so vast in its wealth. and so sinister in its
every phase, that the industries of the country
are hoPelessly within its grasp. It seems to US
every railroad man should find If to his interest
to support Mr.. Bryan, disregarding the coercion
and intimidation Practiced in 1896, and which
will be repeated in 1900, by party whose
avOwed object IS putting the matter under a trust
system and enslaving the masses industrially.

BROKEN BRI6-R-BRH6S.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man Of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The mGltitudes who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements. for which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufacturers do not use them, because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells US that one Of the elements Of his
cement costs S3I5 pound. and another costs
S2-65 a gallon, while a large share Of the so
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
are sIXteen-Cent glue, dissolved IN water or cit
color and OdOr by the addition Of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
TWENTY-FIVE cents a bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
1t that his only object IS to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is as much az
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is dOubly true in view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit Of Mr.. Maj
ors advertising, which now amounts to over
5000 month. throughout the country. Estab-
hshed IN 1876
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
Of-hand advice from druggist.
If you are at all handy land You VIII be likely
to ind that you are good deal more so than
you imagIne) you can repair your rubber boots
and family shoes, and any other rubber and
leather articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
And you viii be surprised at how many dol
lars year you VIII thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, It VIII be
forwarded by mail; either kind, free Of postage.
