We won as we said before. the ninth
game out of eleven. And we won de-
cisively. We won because we batted
the ball, batted it hard. Our pets made
il hits. They were we'll placed;

alone without the aid of the eleven er-

Cuff had a great batting record; his
average for the game was 500. Out
of times up, he made 4 hits; two of
them were corlling two baggers.
Our Owney, beside holding Susque-
hanna heavy hitters down to nine hits
and striking out of them, he made
two hits, one which sailed out into deep
left and landed him on second base.
Every man on the team hit the ball,
with the exception of Rosler, who had
the hardest kind of hard luck. He
knocked one to third base that looked
all the world to be safe, but third
baseman Lannan eat it UP.
Emmett Gallaghy, Harte and Nc
Andrew, each had two hits.
The fielding of Roster was brilliant;
the greatest of the game. He captured
two flys after long runs that anybody
would gamble were good for hits His
quick return Of balls amazed some Of
the strangers, to whom such quick
work among amateurs was novelty.
Murray added to his reputation as
the best third baseman in the valley
or in Wayne or Susquehanna. His fly
catch after run and jump was great.
Cuff, at first, was Jonny, o. X. Ten
chances, without the semblance of a
misplay.
O'Gara worked hard against his
former townsmen, but now and then
they landed. when it was just the time
and aided by errors the runs came in.

A Plea for Photography.
From the London Post.

From the London Post.
This weeks Amateur Photographer con-
tains the first of series of articles in ap-
probation of photography by Bernard
Shaw, which is brimful of incisive and
stimulating passages. Here is one. A GER
tain writer having stated that the camera
is inferior to the hand as an instrument of
portraiture, because, while it can give but
one version the painter can give a hundred
Bernard Shaw's comment is: Here the
gentleman hits on the strongest point in
photography and the weakest point in
draughtsmanship. under the impression
that he is doing just the reverse. 1t is the
draughtsman that can give you only one
version of a sitter. Velasquez, with all his
skill, had only one Philip, Vandyke had
only one Charles, Tenniel has only one
Gladstone. Furniss only one Sir william
Harcourt, and none of these are quite the
real ones. The camera, with one sitter,
will give you authentic portraits of at least
six apparently different persons and char
acters." Among other good qualities pos
sessed by the camera is that sit evades the
clumsy tyranny of the hand"

EURoPE'S MILITARY BURDENS.
France Bears the Heaviest and Russia

the Lightest by the Latest Figures.
From the New York Sun.
With population of 100000 inhabi-
tants, Germany now furnishes an annual
contingent of $4,000 soldiers, which must
be reduced to $4,000 after deducting the
exempt from service, according to the
latest figures given in an article in the
Courier des Etats Unis. A considera BILE
share of these $4,000 men are Immediately
incorporated either in the landsturm or in
the recruiting reserve, however, so that
the number of men really incorporated in
the regular army is only 100000. But this
number is sufficient to bring up the pres
ent effective force to $4,000 The men
serve with the colors only the required
time to gain instruction. The length of SER
vice in the line is two years for the in
fantry, three years in the cavalry and one
year in the train.
In Russia, where compulsory service has
been in existence for the last thirty years
the men are obliged to serve five years in
the regular army, thirteen years in the re-
serve and five years in the Opotchenie,
which is the same as the reserve of the
French territorial army. With a popula-
ton of 132,0OO,0OO Russia furnishes an
nually $4,000 conscrpts, of whom about
$4,000 are good for service. Under these
circumstances the government can well af
ford to be generous In the matter of eX-
emptions. Their number amounts to 4Oo,-
600, so that the real number of men in the
regular service was 30S,000 in 1901 and 31S,-
600 in 1902.
In Austria the annual contingent is 40:
600. but the exemptions reduce it to All 600.
The length of the regular service is two
and half years. In Italy, where the an
nual contingent is 315 900, only 2O5OOO are
found to be good for service, which varies
from two and half to three years. AS to
exemption from military service, in Aus
tria they amount to 30 per cent: in Ger
many to 81 per cent, in Italy to p per cent,
in France to p per cent, and in Russia to
10 per cent. The number of men incorpo-
rated in the armies of France is IS per
cent, in Germany 81 per cent, in Austria 10
per cent, in Italy 33 per cent and in Russia
20 per cent. The unfit for service are: In
France 81 per cent, in Germany 81 per
cent, in Austria 80 per cent, in Italy 81 per
cent and in Russia 10 per cent.
Out of every thousand men from the ages
of twenty-one to sixty there are in service
in France 5S.4, in Germany, 49, in Russia
43, in Austria "a and in Italy 80 In case of
war these figures are increased in Germany
to 1885, in Austria to 96, in France to III, in
Italy to 101 and in Russia to 81. These
figures show that France, in proportion to
population, bears the heaviest military bur-
den and Russia the lightest.

A New Use for Freight Trains.

From the Chicago Post.
At last science has discovered something
that will stop an automobile On its de-
structive way. The discovery was made a.
a grade crossing in Garfield boulevard yes
terday, and the instrument of grace proved
to be freight train. The automobile has
grown arrogant and domineering in its
path of unbroken successes, and believed
that nothing could check its progress;
hence when it saw the freight ira n 1t bowl
ed merrily on rejoicing and rushei to de-
struction amid the cheers and rejoicings Of
the populace. 1t would seem, therefore,
that what we need now is more grade cross
ings on the boulevards and an increase in
the number of freight trains. A freight
train is not a pretty sight, but it Is con-
structed, for utility, not for beauty, ard
now that it has added to it's accomplish
ments the pleasurabe task OF converting
automobiles into kindling wooo it should
enjoy special concessions. So far rs we
know the freight train is the only agency
that can cope successfully with tho white
ghosts and the red DEVILS and 1t Should be
honored accordingly.

Her Mothers Friend.

From the London Globe
A fond mother impressed upon her infant
daughter that when she was naughty it
was Satan who made her so. On subse-
quent occasion there was an extra DISTURB
ance in the nursery, with much stamping
of tiny feet and arrangement of the furIi-
ture. Elsie" cried her mother, entering
the room, what does this mean?" And a
small voice replied. :"Oh, l spose IT'S your
old friend Satan again!"

The Blossom.

Only a little shrivelcd seed
1t might be flower gra or wcei;
Only box of earth ON the edge
OF n narrow, dusty window ledge:
Only few scant summer showers
Only few clear. shining hours
That was ali. Yet God could make
Out OF these, for sick chid's sake,
\ blossom wonder as fair and sweet
AS ever broke at an angels feet.
Only life OF barren pan,
Wet with sorrowful tears Of rain;
Warmed sometimes by wandering CLEAN
OF Joy that seemed but q happy dream
life common and brown and bare
AS the box OF earth in the window there;
Yet II bore at last the precious bloom
OF a perfect soul In narrow room
Pure the snowy leaves that fold
Over the flowers heart OF gold.
