A Wonderful Cffer to Women.

We have received word of q most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Ueiineat0r. of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins Q
ocw century, The Deiineator offers 10 distri.
butte SIT, 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
q small town or village, has just as good q
chance TO win one OF these 1901 prizes as q
woman living in city-because the prizes
are given for the number OF subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion N the popu.
lation OF that Town, instead of being given
SIMPLY to those who send the largest list 81
ubScribers-which, Of course, are most easily
obuHned in big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is. that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in Class |,
and as these cities are not very many. the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest S.. 90
The total amount OF prizes given away in this
class is s 900. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other clusses. and as
tie number Of towns in class increases. be-
cause, of course there arc more small tow ms
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away TO class increases, 80 that in Class I.
there will be $4,000 distributed among FOL
winners
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out Of every Two hundred in.
habtants OF the town from which the con.
test.nt sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and
enc which the famous old Delineoto~ is well
able TO make good From our point Of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs 10 DO
made by the Publishers of The Delineator for
we believe il already has nearly half u million
subscr'bers Its strong hold upon the afec.
tons OF American women has come In the
past generation, from its practical advice
about drass details and home matters.

A Rag OF Light

For woman's guidance 10 found in the
fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of 80 many wofn-
en- with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. ~Favorite Prescription
is not tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and
vitality. It banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
a diseased condition Of the womanly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
Al was troubled for three years with uieeratisa

but little relief" writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter. of

A FAST GAME OF BALL
Y. M. c. A. TRAM DEFEATED
 THE FALCONS.
Score Was 4 to 8 and the Work of Pitchers Kohn and Molly Was Remarkable For
 Amateurs.

A remarkable game of ball was play ed at the park between the Falcons and Y. M. C. A. teams Satur- day afternoon. It was all the more re- markable in that 1t was amateur ball. It would have been remarkable for a professional game.
 The Falcons had the game well in hand up to the first half of the ninth inning. Then the Y. M. c. A. boys went in and not only tied the score. but put the winning run over the plate.
 oth pitchers-Kohn for the Falcons and Molly for the Y. M. c. A.-had been pitching steady. effective ball during the game. The Falcons had succeeded in getting a score each in the first. third and sixth inning. while the Y. M. c. A. had never been able to get a man over the rubber.
 At the beginning of the ninth inning the game stood to o in favor of the Falcons. Patterson was the first man up for the Y. M. c. A. team and led off with the first hit that he had made during the afternoon. Then Stickney went to bat and got his third hit of the game. Patterson by good base run ming went to thihrd base. Loud and Lewis the next men up, were retired and Burke. with a rattling single, scored Patterson and Stickney, going to second base himself on the throw in. Then Kohn gave the first base on balls that had been given on either side during the game. sending Hart to first base on four balls. Burke had got to third and Hart had stolen second when Kohn made the most fatal mistake of the afternoon. It was a mistake of Judgment that cost the Falcons the game. With two men out and two strikes on the man at bat Kohn, in- stead of playing for the batter, turned like a flash and threw the ball to Creighton to catch Hart, who was playing of second. Creighton dropped the ball, the sphere bounding out to- wards centerfield. Burke promptly scored the run that tied the game, while Hart went to third. Then Molly got his second hit of the game. Hart scored, and the Y. M. c. IA. had won the closest, hardest fought amateur game of ball ever played in Monteom- cry.
 The box work of both Kohn and Molly was wonderful. The control of both of them was perfect. Neither gave a base on balls until Kohn sent Hart to first in the ninth inning. Neither made A wild pitch and only six hits were made off of Molly and eight off of Kohn. Stickney was the only man to hit for more than a single. He got q two -bagger in the sixth inning. Both pitchers received jam-up support. The Falcons only made two errors. The Y. M. c. A. team made three errors.
 Thursday. Friday and Saturday of this week the LuveYne team will play the Y. M. c. A. team at the local ball park. Next week the fast Columbus. Ga. team will play the Y. M. c. A. team here. The locals will probably have the same batting order that they used In Saturdays game.

 as an organization until its elements
 crystalized under the guiding inspira-
 tion of Hamilton around his political
 philosophy.
 Jefferson, on the other hand, was a true Democrat. He believed that as
 the people are the source of political
 power. all possible power consistent
 with an efficient and effective govern
 ment should be left in the hands of the people. He was a strict construction ist-that is he believed that the Con-
 stitution should be construed according to it's precise declarations and that all
 powers not specifically granted to the General Government must be left to the
 decision of the people or to the sepa-
 rate States Out of these views. so va
 liantly advocated by Jefferson, sprung
 up the party of popular sovereignty.
 of States rights, of conservatism in
 the National Government. Thus both
 the party of centralization, of which Alexander Hamilton was the founder and the party of popular government
 founded by Thomas Jefferson. had
 their origin in honest but radically diff fefent NleNS. IneT corners stones
