county, short distance south of Four
Mile Run, was destroyed by fire. with
contents, shortly before o'clock this

known, but it is supposed to have been

amount to several thousand dollars,
which is covered by insurance. The
building was owned by Mr.. Sitter, of
Washington.
Samuel c. McNeely. manager OF the
club, was asleep in the building when

The Second Game.

Jack Towneend, who has been on the
shelf for some time, was taken down and
busted yesterday, and given orders to
win his game. Jack pitched superb
game, and held the Orioles down until
the fourth inning. He was backed up
well. and had all of his speed and
curves.
Ross will not forget the second game.
The Senators jumped onto him from the
outset, and fattened their swatting fig
ures considerably. Three baggers be-
came common, and the man that did not
get a two-bagger off Ross was looked
upon as easy.
Carey got a three-sacker in the second
inning. and Lee followed him with
double. This netted the locals one run
The Senators batted around in the sec
ond inning and got six runs. In the
fourth Delehanty got a base on balls
and scored ON Keister's hit. Two more
were secured in the fifth. and two in
the sixth. Still another pair were
chalked up in the seventh.
The visitors could not bunch their
hits, and were content with scoring two
runs in the fourth inning
Drill caught the second game and
showed up WELL He managed to get un
der several high foul balls, and also
threw accurately to the bases. Ryans
catch in the second inning was the fea-
ture of the second contest. Jones laced
one down in center, and Ryan. who had
been playing back for Jones' hit, was
forced TO run quite distance before he
could get his hands on the ball. 1t was
a splendid running catch. Lees batting
was the best done in the game. Out of
five times at the plate. he got a sacrifice
and four safe hits, among them being
three-bagger and two-bagger.

GALLAUDET PRACTICES
FOR GRIDIRON WORK
Team Organized Yesterday
Makes Strong Showing.

The football team of Gallaudet Col
lege was organized yesterday. Errick
son, one of the star players of last
years eleven, was elected captain, and
under his direction the team should be
one of the best that ever represented
the college. Coach Cowley will have the
candidates out on the field every day
from now until the first game is played,
and will spare no efforts in making this
the best eleven that ever wore the yell
low and blue sweaters. Today the men
will go out on the large field at Ken
dali Green. and indulge in light prac-
tice.q Every day following the practice
will be harder, and the men Will be
drilled i'll punting and tackling until
they become as near perfect as possible.
Although five of the best players OF
former years teams are off the team
this season, and the team will lcse a
great deal. the manager is confident that
his team will carry the blue and yell
low to victory and establish an enviable
record. as all of the previous teams
have dcne. The average weight OF the
eleven will be less than 155 pounds.
This is the lightest aggregation ever
put on the field by Galiaudet. The
cause of this is the loss of last years
stars. who not cniy played well. but
contributed weight. Several of the new
men are promising, and with practice
ii is believed the team will equal the
records of last year.
Candidates for Places.
Among the new candidates who VIII
in all probability play important posi-
tions on the mutes' eleven. and who
are showing up we'll. are Robertson.
Gale, and Leitch. Hewetson, an old
left guard. is expected to do good work
this year.
Mather, the crack right tackle OF last
years aggregation. may return TO the
college about the first OF next month,
and will don his football clothes and
get into practice with the rest of the
team. Hewetson, who played center on
the eleven OF the season of 1899, and
who left college during his junior year.
will return very soon. and will be given
his old position.

Set = Glazebrook and Ballinger's
Games Feature.

The fifteenth annual open lawn tennis
tournament for the championship of the
District began yesterday afternoon on
the courts OF the Bachelors Lawn Ten
mis- Club, on NJ near Connecticut Ave-
nue. The players began their work un-
der rather unfavorable conditions. The
courts were somewhat soggy from the
previous days rains. and made rapid
return frequently impossible. while for
the same reason the balls lacked liveli-
ness. which again took away from bril-
liant playing. Then again, the threat
ening weather kept away many admirers
of the sport, but the attendance, though
only fair, was enthusiastic enough TO
encourage the players in their efforts to
win honors and incidentally the prizes
which will go to the fittest survivors.
Entry List Not Large.
The entry list is not as large as upon
previous similar occasions, mainly due
to the fact that many members of the
Bachelors Club. from among whom the
largest portion OF the entries was ex-
pected. are still out of town. The tour
ney opened at least a fortnight earlier
than usual. and this was arranged by the
committee so as not to conflict with the
G. A. r. encampment.
On account of the small entry list the
committee decided Yesterday to with
draw the handicap singles" event. open
to all players beaten in the first match.

THE "HlBERNIAN" EDITOR.

P. J. Haltigan, the editor of the organ
| OF the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the
National Hibernian." of this city, was
selected one year ago from among COM
petitors from eight cities. The paper, in
his hands. has been very successful and
has met with universal approval through
out the country. Mr.. Haltigan is a ma
tive of ireland and has resided in Wash
ington for the last twelve years. having
until recently held an important position
in the Government Printing Office. He is
well known in Washington. being a mem
Der of most of the Catholic and irish Or
CARNATIONS here. and also of the Typo
graphical Union. Before taking charge of
the "Hibernian' Mr.. Hatigan was en-
gagged in active newspaper work. He is
a spirited writer. The following stirring
appeal for an appropriate celebration OF
Robert Emmet's birthday this year ap-
peared in the National Hibernian" of
yesterday:
There is no grander name in history
than Robert Emmets. He stands for all
that IS high and noble in human endeavor
and he freely parted with everything the
world holds dear that his country might
take her place among the nations Of the
earth His whole soul, fired with great
intellectual power and pure moral worth
was forever ill rebellion against wrong,
and was filled with the one grand desire
to give justice and independence TO his
fellow-men.
Even when his heart was filled with
love for Sarah Curran-when her happi-
ness as well as his own was in the bal
ance-he freely sacrificed the idol of his
soul in love of country. and willingly
persisted in his prime upon the scaffOrd
as a martyr to justice and virtue.
Robert Emmett is truly the child of the
heart of ireland. Though born in sorrow
and ruthlessly torn from her breast while
endeavoring to dry her tears, his name
will live forever in her history, and must
always prove a grand incentive to pa
triOtic action.
AS long as an Irishman lives, no mat
ter in what part of the world he may re-
side, his heart will beat faster and his
spirits will grow brighter at the mention
Of Emmets name-the very sound Of it
will prove a trumpet blast to duty.
To work, then yo patriots Of the Hi
bcrnian Orderi Fling our your glorious
banners on the 18th of March, and let the
name of Emmett ring from one end of this
Republic to the other, To YOU, rs the old
est and most tried organization. belongs
the honor of leading, You. above all
others. should set yourselves the task |
of writing Emmcts epitaph,"
