Base Ball.

At last Johnson City is to have a ball
team worthy of the town. The few
games played in the neighborhood
have revived interest in the national
sport and created a determination on
the part of some Of our best players to
give the town some good ball if prop
erly patronized. A game will probably
be played in the city Saturday with
Erwin or Blountville, and later there
will be a series of games with Conk-
ling, Elizabethton and Bristol. Show
your appreciation Of the boys efforts
by attending the game Saturday. The
lineup will be about as follows: Catch
err, Worley; pitchers, Berry and Reeves;
1st base, Davidson; 2nd base, Dyer;
Bird base, Owens; short stop, Miller;
right field, Taylor; center field, Jack
son; left field, Byrbage.

"rushers of the growler" in a way that
would make them liable. they have cove
nanted not TO serve them at ALL which, OF
course, lessons their business. but 1t Is
attitude which is hailed with delight by
temperance people because it also lessons
the familiarity of child life with the public
house.
Two points in connection with this new
act will have to be passed upon before long
by court of appeal. One is whether pub
licans, in refusing to serve children who
come for pint or more and have a bottle
capable of being corked and sealed to put
it in. with the money to pay for il, can
legitimately send them away unsupplied.
Unless the new act carries with it some
option of this kind they certainly cannot,
for every holder of a drink license in Eng
land is servant Of the public. He may
not conduct his business according to his
own caprices, but must run il according to
law, TO accommodate his fellow-citizens.
Every one not intoxicated and not debarred
by some statute must be served with what
refreshment he may demand, child under
fourteen, sent as messenger, no less than
those who buy drink to swallow it at the
bar. So it has been up to the present, and
the point the higher courts will have to de
eide is whether under the new act, this
long-established principle has been abro-
gated. And still another point awaiting
decision by the higher courts is, what is
meant by 'sealing?" Those who have as
sumed that to place a gum label over the
cork would meet the case have been rudely
undeceived, for the policeman waiting out

Nightly, after returning to his own rooms

THINGS THAT WERE STOLEN.
The report notes the disappearance of a
number of valuable coins and medals from
the Borgia apartments, which, by the way,
seem to be the favorite hunting grounds
of Vatican thieves, one of the papal cura-
tors having sacked the collections estab-
lished there several years ago. Further
more. over hundred smaller pictures,
frames of precious metal, clocks, candle
sticks and minor ornaments were carried
beyond the precincts of papal territory,
not counting those taken from thieves on
the spot or when leaving with their loot
But all the articles taken bore some re-
lation or other to mundane affairs. Relic
cases and religious pictures and statues
were severely left alone a fact in which
the Pope finds much consolation.
Your correspondent was informed by one
of the minor officials of the palace that
some new frescoes had been discovered in
the Borgia apartments; to be precise in
the room where Caesar Borgia, after swal-
lowing the poison intended for some one
else, fingered for so long between life and
death, ultimately curing himself in quite
an unprecedented manner. described as fol-

EFFECT OF THE LAW.
How far this puzzling and ambiguous,
though well-meant law, will really serve to
keep young children out of public houses

who, in his usual shrewd way. quickly
found a solution. The Holy Father be-
thought himself of a series of bake ovens
which one of his predecessors erected hun
dreds of years ago. The cleaners were let
loose upon them, and within ten days they
were in working order.
Next a host of bakers was engaged who
turned out all the bread needed for clean
ing. and, besides, enough for each work
man and workwoman to take a loaf home
at night. By giving away 5000 loaves daily
Leo meant to show that the revival of the
Vatican ovens was not merely due to a de-
sire to cut down expenses.
SEVEN HUNDRED OVERSEERS.
To keep this mass of work people in order
and direct their work. seven hundred over
seers were appointed. while all papal sol
diers and gendarmes, not on actual duty,
were ordered TO patrol the halls.
chambers and corridors in plain clothes
to protect the Popes property. They
caught several hundred petty thieves
''red-handed," so to speak, all of whom
were turned over TO the judicial authorities
of the Holy See, for the Pope is still SOW
ereign and judge within the precincts Of
the Vatican.
The thieves were tried in proper order
and condemned to various terms of impris-
onment. the Pope granting a full pardon
in every case. The only punishment they
actually suffered was immediate discharge,
but every discharged man or woman re-
ceived two weeks wages in advance. These
sums were paid out of the Pope's private
purse and many of the repenting sinners
even went away with his blessings after
making confession at St. Peters and crav-
ing the Popes pardon. Thus their very
fault became source of material and
moral advantage 10 these miscreants.
