THE GAME OF BALL.
The Huntingdon and Camden Teams Meet
on the Local Diamond.

Several hundred people witness
ed the game of base ball played |
last Friday afternoon between the
Huntingdon and Camden teams,
and which resulted in a large de-
feat to the Camden nine, the score
being 30 to 3 in favor Of Hunting
don.
The ground was bad, but the
weather was all that could be de-
sired. Young America was very
much in evidence and guyed and
yelled Justify to the discontinue of
both teams.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Umpire
Will Walters called the game, the
Huntingdon nine going to the bat
first. Mayor Tom G. Rye pitched
the first ball and the battle began.
In the first inning the Hunting
don team made three scores and
forced "goose egg" to the credit
of the home team. In the next the
visiting team made two scores and
Camden three; two innings and
game stood 5 to 3. At the begin
ming of the third inning the inter-
est and excitement was at fever
heat and a close game predicted.
The third inning resulted in
''goose egg" to both sides. The
fourth gave Huntingdon 7 scores
and a "goose egg" to the home
team. After this the Camden nine
we're shut out in every inning and
the visitors making scores in every
remaining inning.
There were errors on both sides,
especially so with the home team.
At the fifth inning the home
team put Walker in the box and
Jordan behind the bat and as a
result Huntingdon made s scores.
Walker sending several batters to
first on balls. His pitching was
wild and hurt the home team. The
Huntingdon team put Hawkins in

SALARIES IN NEW YORK CITY.

Tammany has something we'll worth
fighting for in the control Of New York
city. How much the stake is may be
judged from the fact that the practical
blity of reducing the expenses of the
city government by from $4,000 900 to
$50 900 000 is now being discussed. 1t also
indicates that the salaries paid are
all fat ones. Controller Bird S. Coler,
for instance, received as salary and fees
last year the sum of $4,000, while the
state controller, Mr.. Knight, received
$1,000 and Controller Dawes, of the
United States treasury, receives $4,000
a year Patrick Keenan,, the city cham
berlain, receives 81, 900 a year, while the
federal treasurer E. H. Roberts, receives
$4,000. John Whalen, the corporation
counsel, receives $4,000 a year, while
the attorney general of the United States
receives $4,000.
The governor of the Empire state
gets a salary of $4,000 year, while the
mayor Of New York is paid $4,000 in
salary.
The secretary to the mayor gets SAL
airy OL 9o,UUO year, Wnlcn is only $oOO
less than that paid brigader general
in the regular army and is $1,000 more
than the pay of a colonel.
Making comparison with the navy
1t appears that the second assistant cor
poration counsel receives $4,000 a year.
while the first nine rear admirals, on sea
duty. receive $500 each, and the second
nine get $500 each.
The commissioner of sewers receives
$500 year, while Captain Sigsbee

SOME FORMER CAPTURES.

A few newspapers and few men have,
since the capture of Aguinaldo. minated
more or less plainly that Funstons coup
was the result of some sort Of trckery
and is a discre iiiable affair all the way
through. Those newspapers and men are,
of course, opposed to the administration
and are quite willing to resort to any
kind Of demagosism or subterfuge them
selves if they can, by SO doing. hope to
score against the republicans. But IN this
effort to detract from the brilliant eX-
plot of Funston. they forget history
There have been a good many other cap
lures of the same sort. For instance,
there was the capture of General Pres
colt. of the English army, in July LII,
which the New York Sun last week re-
viewed. Prescott commanded the British
troops at Newport. Rhode Island, and had
gone on a visit to a mansion five miles
from Providence. The project to capture
him originated with Colonel Barton, who
accompanied by forty-one of his soldiers.

where General Prescott was staying and
succeeded in taking him back into the
American lines.
The capture of General Stoughton by
Colonel Mosby during the civil war was
hailed by the democrats in sympathy with
the confederacy as a splendid deed. The
doughty guerrilla chief, with twenty mine

airy regiment. Mosby personally made
his way to the headquarters of General
Stoughton commanding, and effected his
capture, the prisoner being escorted
through thousands of his own troops, into
the confederate lines where he was de-
livered to General Fitzhugh Lee.
Funston's plan was as daring in con-
ception and surrounded by as many dan
gers as any exploit of the kind ever car
ried to successful issue.

The MANCHURlAN QUESTION.

1t Is still uncertain whether the pro-
posed convention between the Russian
and Chinese governments will be con-
cluded. Neither is there. as yet. any
ground for believing that any of the for
eign powers now represented at Pekin
will protest against the signing of that
convention, or will support China in a
refusal to sign it. Why should a pro-
test he made? An answer to the ques-
ton requires, first a knowledge Of the
text of the proposed convention, which
has not been published: and secondly,
recognition of the fact that. not comfy
geographically, but also in the eye of in
ternational law, Russia occupies toward
China a position different from that held
by any other of the treaty powers.
So far as the attack on the foreign le-
cations at Pekin and the assassination of
foreigners in many parts of China are
concerned. Russia's relation to the Chi
nese government, which ordered or toll
Grated those outrages. is indistinguish-
able from that of Great Britain or that
of the United States. AS matter of
convenience, the Russian foreign office.
like our own state department. has chos-
technically. constitute acts of war. What
ever may be thought of the wisdom of
that assumption or of the difficulty of re-
conciling it with the punitive expeditions
and wholesale massacres for which Ger
many and France have principally made
themselves responsible. and at which, it
must be admitted. some other powers
have connived. it is certain that Russia

nature. which she is at perfect liberty to
construe as acts of war; and which, in
deed can hardly bear any other con-
struction. We refer to the invasion of
the Russian territory lying north Of the
Amur river by Chinese regular soldiers,
whose commander produced, in justifica-
ton of his course. orders emanating di-
rectly from the court at Pekin.
Now. while the murder Of Russian Of
ficials in Manchuria and the destruction
of a part of the Manchurian branch of
the Trans Siberian railway might. like
similar losses of life and property by
the subjects or citizens of other powers

The dispatches from Monterey, Cal,
announce that George Q. Cannon, of
Salt Lake City, is dying at that place.
Mr.. Cannon is the most prominent Off
cial in the Mormon church, not excepting
its head, Lorenzo Snow. The highest
quorum of the organiza ton is called the
first presidency, composed at present of
Lorenzo Snow, president; Mr.. Cannon,
first and Joseph F. Smith second coun-
se'lors. Mr.. Cannon, therefore, would
BE- come the next president of the church
in the event of the death of President
Snow.
Mr.. Cannon is native of the Isle Of
Man and came to the United States as
q youth, having become identified with
the Mormons in England. He espOused
al! the principles of the peculiar faith
and had several wives. This fact finally
led to his undoing as Utah's delegate

terms. For many years he was recog-
nized as the power behind the throne ir

Throughout the United States, Booker
I. Washington is recognized as great
hearted, big Drained man, who is devot-
ing all of his abilities to the improvement
OF his race His work at Tuskeegee -
fully recognize, yet the southern trad1-
ton and training prevents him from be-
ing recognized by the southerners on
social equality. A prominent citizen o.,
Tuskeegee referring to Washington's
work short time ago said:
In my opinion he has the best school in
the country, black or white. At most Of
our white colleges, as far as I can see,
a big percentage of the boys spend their
time learning how to wear their hair long
and play football, and smoke cigarettes,
and spend their daddies' money. We
don't have any such nonsense here. They
are all busy doing useful work. Both
teachers and students are orderly and
well-behaved. They don't try to make
white people get off the sidewalk land
they get more of the sidewalk than those
who do try. We have never had case
from there in our police court. They go
right to work and make an honest living
when they leave the school.
The gentleman then went on to mention
the social status Of the colored educate
with much unconscious humor, yet with
the finest possible line of distinction, as is
apparent when it is remembered that the
title mister is accorded exclusively tc
whites, while that of professor" applies
strictly to the personal requirements OF

THE AFTERNOON PAPER.

The advantages of the afternoon paper
