The professional mems base ball club
has accepted the challenge of the hide
pendent Hose team for a game OF ball
next Friday, providing the temperature
is not as high as at present. Geo. Cooke
manager OF the Professionals, treats
the matter lightly, anu states that his
team is only glad to play out that they
feel that the time is wasted as their
opponents cannot put UP a game that
will be of any interest. III. Long, OF the
independents, states that they will
easily shut out these supposed ball play
ers and would be willing to give them
handicap so as not to make the game
too much one-sided. Chas Downey, of
the Independents, has made some of the
boys feel bad, owing to his training In
the field. The Wheeling management
has an eye on Charles. Bids are being
received for man to umpire the game

The city authorities and citizens alike
have entered fully into the spirit OF
cleaning up the city preparatory to the
coming Carnival week. and good results
are already observable. 1t ought to be
remembered that the 9th and 9th insts
are cleaning up" days, and that there
should be especial efforts upon those
dates to put the city in prssentable
shape. Much good has already been &C
complished, but much more remains to
be done. The work will not only re-
suit in attractiveness to visitors, but
will be conducive to health and con-
yenience to our own citizens.

THE PURITAN SABBATH.

Parkersburg was not the only city
that had visitation of the Puritan Sab
bath, although one might imagine so
from the amount of complaining heard
from the thirsty in that community dur
ing the last scorching Sabbath. when
the town, by order of the mayor, added
aridity to the heat. Atlantic City
hitherto free-for-all and wide open-last
Sunday was closed up tight. and the &c
votee OF the enticipg mint julep and the
seductive high-ball, unless he had
special pull, or had made previous pro-
vision, had to enoure life on the scorch-
SI1ig boardwalk or the white-hot sand OF
the beach without liquid alienation. As
result, loud and prolonged howl
has gone up from this seaside mecca,

of the patrons of the resort as from the

SPEAKING OF HEAT.

In comparing the thermometer rec
ords of this city, published in the daily
papers, with the government record for
other cities, one IS apt to get the erron-
eous impression that Wheeling is hot
ter in comparison than 1t is. 1t must
be borne In mind that the daily Their
mometer record which you see and talk
about is from a thermometer on the

see it and perspire over il, while the gov

Down in the street the mercury topped

sixteen deaths and forty-one prostra-

kill themselves. A few, apparently

the overwhelming temperature.
Babies died in 'tenements, and scores
fell in the streets. To one patient ia
