That Harmony Dinner.

Considerable entertainment and
amusement have been furnished to
politicians in Washington by the So
called harmony dinner held re-
Gently by the democrats at Nantasket.
ssThe beauty of the Tilden club and
the Nantasket harmony dinners',n
said a prominent republican, sis the
entire absence of harmony which has
prevailed on each occasion. Mr..
cleveland has gravely urged har-
nony which included the entire elm
ination OF Mr. Bryan from the councils
of the party, and Mr. Bryan assures
his fellow democrats that Mr.. Cleve-
land IL traitor, to listen to whom
is treason.
Senator gagmaek assures the demo-
Gratis that the Philippine question is
tine paramount issue, and Mr.. shep-
ard confidently states that the tariff
issue Is Firrev0eably at the front.

LIFE SENTENCE FOR
SOLDIER DESERTER.
Ernest Wilde Sentenced to Ninety-Nine
Years on Alcatraz Island.

The case of Ernest Wilde, an alleged
British subject. has recently been made
public at the War Department. The man
now occupies cell in jefferson Barracks.
Missouri. and will shortly be sent to
Alcatraz Island, Cal. to serve a sentence
Of ninety-nine years Imprisonment for
treason against the United states.
1t appears that Wilde enlisted in the
United States Army in December of 1899,
making oath that he was citizen Of this
country and was later sent with his regi-
ment to the Philippine Islands. After
serving in the archipelago for about a
month he disappeared from his regiment,
the Twelfth Infantry, at Panequie, and re-
NAMED absent for twenty days.
He finally surrendered to the authori-
ties at Tarlac. Upon surrendering, Wilde
claimed that he had been captured by
the insurgents. but had finally managed to
effect his escape.
Although another soldier from the
Fourth Cavalry accompanied him and told
a like story. the officer in charge did not
believe them, but ordered Wilde before
having deserted to the insurgents and
found guilty Of treason against the United
States.
His sentence of ninety-nine years i'm
prisonment has been approved.

withstanding the fact that the followers
Of the blue and gray standard think that
the West Virginians are out of their baili-
wick, they will run no chances OF being
defeated by reason of undertaking them.
That the local lads will do things to

The announcement that the Adam Fore

Included among the champion eques-
TRANS of both sexes are Dollie Julian,
the very young lady, who is the only liv-
ing somersault rider on a bareback horse.

The New Yorks again excelled in bat
ting and fielding and the Brooklyns were
unable to hit their old pitcher, Kennedy.
Sheckard made his temperance with the
called in the sixth inning on account OF
rain.
1t appears that Sheckard. who deserted
Baltimore, met Manager Edward Hanlon
in Philadelphia Monday by appointment
and agreed to go back to the Brooklyn
club. provided the courts decided that
Lajoie and the other old Philadelphia
players must play with the National
League team of that city.
When such a decision was rendered
Sheckard lost no time in making up his
mind to return to the Brooklyn club with
Manager Hanlon. which he did Monday
night Sheckard. when seen, said that he
had gone to Baltimore this year because
he believed that he ought to do so, hav-
ing promised McGraw that he would play
with him.
Recently. at his home in Columbia, Pa,
his friends have been talking with him.
and they at last convinced him that he
really belonged to the Brooklyn club. Then
he decided to wait for the Lajoie decision
in the court. and when it came he imme-
diately returned to Brooklyn. The score:
