Best one that Ever Played in Nor

The Varsity has closed the season
by defeating Monessen in hard
fought game by a score OF eight TO
three. The game was witnessed by a
fair crowd who saw a rafting game
from start TO finish.
But eight innings were played the
game being called to permit the exhi-
bitlon drill by the cadets to be held.
Washer was 10 the box for the locals.
He was trif1e wild 10 the first on ae-
count of the ball being wet but settled
down and was very effective afterward.
The Varsity played an errorless
game again closing the season in a
blaze of glory. During the time that
they have played they won q games
and lost 7. The teams which beat
them are among the very best in
the country and they have no license
to defeat the local aggregation at any
time.
1t is with regret that the fans see
the team disband. The men besides
being first class ball players are gentle
men clear through and have hosts Of
friends in the city. They will prob
ably never get together again. Severa
of them will return to school next
year but Others will go into the bis

their chief, which lasted two hours.
President Mitchell, after the meeting
said they came to see him for the
purpose of discussing western min

Not Unanimous For Strike.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the Illinois officials brought in
formation to Mr. Mitchell which will

the Indianapolis meeting. Informal
ton has reached here through differ
ent sources that the soft coal miners
In the west are not unanimous for a
general strike, and some Of them, it
Is said are against partial suspen'
sion. Those men who oppose strike
are willing to give financial aid to the
anthracite strikers, but some of the
leaders are not ready to accept this
sort of aid In the spring of 1900
when a strike levy of 25 cents a
month for each member of the United
Mine Workers of America was made
| there were only three state organiza
tions that responded in full. They
were Iowa, Illinois and Indiana
| There is now strike tax of 10 cents

not being paid in full by all the dis
tricts in the country. For this rea
son the leaders would rather have the
bituminous miners either strike Oh
partially suspend operations. Presi
dent Mitchell has been in close com
ruunication with the leaders of thu
various districts, and whatever plaI
they decide upon will no doubt b.
adopted by the convention. No radi
cal action such as a total suspension
of work by the entire membership o
the organization is looked for.
President Mitchell received infor
nation yesterday from West Vii
ginia which he said indicates that tn
strike there is progressing most ia
vorably. He said more men are nov
out in that territory than at any othe
time since the strike in the Virginia
began. Large gains have been made
he said, along the line of the Norfol
and Western railroad.

"Hon. C. B. Watson.
my Dear Sir: Through the press, and

formed me of a motion that your friends

You did not ask me to confer with you
looking to an ameable adjustment of

your intention. Absence at court has pre-

For more than year, it has been known
in the State that l would be a candidate
for United States Senator and by public
interview in the press last fall, and by a
personal letter written to and received
by YOU last February, (though not an
swered). l made known to you my pur-
pose of entering the race.
when l first announced myself, l had
not the slightest intimation that you
were a candidate, but from our past rela-
tions expected your cordial support IL
you had declared yourself, prior to my
doing So the present unfortunate com
plication would not exist, for appreciat-
ing the friendship of our people, and
their interests, to which you allude in
your card, l would not have offered my
self for the Senate. Our people know
the situation and cannot intelligently
blame me for this unpleasant condition
of affairs.
Hoping that in friendly spirit we
could adjust our matters, ten days ago,
through a friend, l submitted you this
proposition. That the Forsyth members

one of US, who, in their judgment, after
canvassing among the other members,
