BASEBALL NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Brooklyn Does Not Look u Winner DE
Games PLAYED Here.

Brooklyn certainly does not look like a
''three-time winner" in a summary of the
games played in st. Louis this season. OF
the seven games mes played BY the Champions ions
In addition to that. the Donovanites went
to Brooklyn ana split even once. Then
they took three out of four from the Bride
grooms on the next trip. That gives a
cation. But Brooklyn has played good base
ball here: The team was lucky at that to
win . single game OF the series which
closed yesterday. II st. Louis can give such
the. chances for fag-raising at League
Park are bright.
The victory over Brooklyn and the defeat
Of Cincinnati by New York ties the Giants
with the Donovanites for second place. ST.
Louis has won one more game than the
Freedmanites but has played nine more.
New York will open a series Of four games
hero tomorrow. There will be no game to-
day, It being an open date for st. Louis
and there IL no postponed game with New
York that could b played of this after

GiddY South Bend Girls.

The first mail since last winter from
the Andersonians in Alaska was re-
ceived last week, says a recent Ander-
son dispatch, bringing three letters
from Lynn r. Smith, we'll known
in Anderson and Newcastle, and for
warded from Rampant City, under date
of April 3.
After the usual gossip incidental to
mining camp life, MIR. Smith speaks of
a romance developing. in which Ram
part City and South Bend are inter
ested. A batch of mems shirts from
the Stsley Manufacturing company of
South Bend was received in Rampant
City, and in the pocket of working
mans shirt were found the names of
ten women, supposed to be employees of
the factory, suggesting personal cor
respondence. The miners concluded to
forward letters in reply, and the last
mail carried ten letters from marriage
able men in the gold camp to ascertain
names sale to be found in the South
Bend directory.
If the names are genuine, no doubt
some girls will be surprised to find
their unknown correspondents ell To-
Gated in one mining camp. The miners
also made up jackpot of $3.50 each,
which will go to the miner receiving
the first reply.

BE A GOOD CITIZEN.

Senator Depew told the students
of the University of Pennsylva- ia
to go into politics. To go into pol
itics has been too long, in this coun-
try, taken TO mean that one puts
himself in training to become a
heller, boss, a professional vote
getter. Not in this sense, however,
did the junior senator from New
York employ the term. He used
it to convey the meaning that all
young Americans should perform
their duty as citizens. This duty is
to be performed either by faithful
and conscientious fulfillment of OBJ
legation in a public office, or by
serving in party ranks, striving to
elect worthy men to carry the
party's principles into effect.
A truly hopeful sign is the active
interest now shown by young men
in politics. More young men are,
by the increasing wealth of the
country and its more settled social
conditions, now permitted to devote
themselves to public affairs than
ever before. Our educational insti.
tutions are also encouraging the bet
ter class of graduates to embrace
political careers. Their courses of
social and political science are every
year sending out numbers of thor
oughly trained minds to serve the
people either in office or in political
leadership of diverse kinds. There
is, too, stronger sense of civic duty
prevalent today than at any time
since the early days of the Republic.
