Spoiled His Eloquence.

4 committee of Kentuckians went
to see Abraham Lincoln in 1861 with
reference to the abolition of slavery.
Many Kentuckians owned slaves.
They were anxious to remain in the
Union, but they did not want to lose
their bondsmen. The spokesman of
the party was a tall man of about
Lincoln's height. He made an elo-
quent speech. filled with fine senti-
ments and flowery metaphor, and
closed with a crashing peroration.
After he had finished Lincoln looked
at him a moment and then said quiet

SURPRISE FOR Y. NJ. ca.
Beaten by the Wheel Club II.S
in Wednesdays Game.
A Contest Marked by Several Brilliant
Individual Plays-CooIey Held Y. NJ.
c. A. Down to Six Hits.

The Wheel club gave the Y. NJ. G. A.
a sad surprise Wednesday afternoon, TAX
ing the contest by a score of 11-S. 1t
was a game i'm which a large number of
errors were made, but which were re-
deemed by brilliant individual playing.
No prettier plays have been seen this
season than catches by Perry, Williamson
and March. Perry jumped high into the
air from third base and pulled down a
liner from Ferriter's bat in the third and
Williamson robbed the same batsman of

drive to left centre after a hard run.
Williamson also made another pretty
catch. regainng his feet and capturing
the BAN after he had fallen. March went
out from the infield into right-centre and
captured a high one. Landry, Allen
Fox and Monroe also made good catches.
The pitchers, Cooley and Monroe, were
suffering from lame arms, and the former
also had a badly bruised left hand. Cool
eys pluck carried him through and he is
deserving Of great credit for winning for
the Wheel clubbcrs. Monroe was touched
harder than any time this season and he
| lacked his usual control. Landry's bat
ting was a feature, with three hard, safe
| drives to the outfield, and Perry. Turner
and Tasker found the ball easily. March
in the third inning put the ball over the
right field bank and made the circuit of
| the bases. Nearly every one thought
| the ball foul and surprise was general
| when it was called safe. Cressy's UNI
! piring on the whole was very satisfactory
| however, and he enforced discipline ac-

given fun power in this respect by the eX-

PRESIDENT IS COMING
Will Visit Brattieboro the Last
Week in August.
Arrangements in Charge of Young
Mems Republican Club and Coopera-
ton of Citizens Will Be Asked.

Because of the conflicting rumors
regarding the coming to Brattleboro
this summer of President Roosevelt
the executive committee of the Young
Mems Republican club authorizes the
following statement: Some time ago,
when it was first learned that the
President contemplated coming to New
England this summer. the club pre-
pared a formal invitation for him to
visit Brattleboro. The invitation was
forwarded to Senator Proctor, received
the endorsement of the entire Vermont
congressional delegation and was pre-
scented to the President by the senior
senator. The chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee of the club received
about two weeks ago letter from the
secretary to the President acknowledg
ing the receipt of the invitation, which
the President had accepted. The
probable date of his coming is August
20 or 80.

. WHAT PEOPLE SAY .

Walter Granger of Zillah-You ask me
how Zillah got its name. | see you are
not well posted on scripture; but I'll not
argue with you on that point. Zillah
was named in honor of the daughter of
T. F. Cakes, once president of the North
ern Pacific railway. After completing
part of the Sunnyside canal in 1898,
President Cakes, with his daughter Miss
Zillah, came to the valley on tour Of
inspection. We took them over part of
the route and when we came to the place
where Zillah now stands told him that
there we would lay out a town and main
tain our offices. He asked me what |
would call the new town. had selected

wives, two sets of children, two house
holds to maintain. In this case the
wages of sin was murder. The negroes
crime was horrible retribution to the
dual nature of the white man. He vi
olated one of the second principles OF
civilization. For the benefit of the race
as whole society long ago decreed that
man shall take unto himself one woman
and woman but one man. To violate
this trust is to commit a grave offense
against society self respect, decency
honor and the one in whom first conf
dence of the marriage ties is imposed.
The man in the present case has been
branded as bigamist and is now an
outcast, disgraced in the eyes of those
who confided in his honor. A man who
leads a dual life will at some time or
other be found out. He cannot always
keep his vicious secrets. If no other,
just such things as the Furnish murder
is necessary to let in the light of day.

THE GARBAGE FURNACE.

The plan of building furnace to burn
the garbage of this city, as set in motion
by the council last week, is step in the
right direction. The scheme gives salts
faction wherever it is worked properly
and all that is necessary to make it a
success is to use practical methods. In
all the big cities of the east and in thous-
ands of smaller ones this method is
adopted, and in many instances the
furnace is made a paying investment,
and often good income to the city.
This is done simply by converting the
product of incarceration to a fertilizer
which is sold to the farmer at price
that will cover running expenses and a
little over. The ashes from burned gar
bage make excellent food for worn out
soil, and if there is any special demand
for the product among the farmers here,
why couldn't this be disposed of in this
manner? The ashes of burned vegetable
matter usually commands big price,
often higher than any other fertilizer. If
it could be handled for this purpose the
city may be enabled to pay the running
expenses OF the furnace.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-04-15

sued to reasonable length of time con-
sistent with the income of the city.
There is much that can be accomplish
ed by wise and judicious methods. Slip
shod work avails nothing in the end
The method best to be followed would
seem to be thorough cleaning of all
streets, alleys, outhouses and any other
place that may present filthy or unsani-
tary condition. Haul all the material
thus gathered to the garbage furnace for
obstruction by fire. Clean out the cess
pools or fill them with gravel or sand ;
fill up old wells, remove the foul smelling
outhouses and look after any other place
that may be the breeding ground of
disease germs.
And then, after all this is done, pass
an ordinance requiring all the residents
of the city to keep their premises clean,
especially their back alleys, where so
much of the offals of the kitchen is
thrown to decay in the sun and contain
mate the air. This can be done, and it
must be done if the people of North Yak
ina expect to maintain healthy city
during the summer months. An or
dinance of this kind can be made effect
i've if once the people are given to under
stand they must keep clean or get out.

community. The mayor also is in har-

THE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

The public spirited ladies of this city
are wise enough to see the utility OF
beautifving the lawns and parks, and
are endeavoring to encourage wider in
terest in such work by offering premi-
ums to those who maintain ring the
summer the best kept lawns. The slim
illus for such work is the love for home
and the beautiful in nature, and the
ladies who have taken the matter in
hand deserve praise for their enterprise.
There is nothing that rebounds more to
a community's good name than spirit
OF this kind.
In the place where houses are beauti'
Jul, lawns well kept, shade trees are trim
and rivalry between man and man
exists for the attainment OF things that
are grand and magnificent, there is where
you will find the ideal, the most good
and the strongest support to the institu-
tons that are American. BY a little
time, little labor at little expense all
the blessings of comfort and pleasure and
the beautiful can be had even by the
most humble.
In North Yakima the conditions await
the touch of enterprise to be handled
and moulded into the things that will
give keen delight to the lovers of the
home and all that beauties it. There
are many beautiful places here. There
could be more All that is necessary is
for each resident to wake up to sense
OF his obligations to his home town, and
if little rivalry is instilled into the
scheme, as contemplated by the Twen-
tieth Century and Women's clubs, no
doubt the object sought could easily be
obtained.
