Keister the One Exception.

The exception was Keister. He went
after the batting record of the afternoon
and managed TO slam the ball over the
left fe.s fence for his fourth home run
in as many days. Unfortunately. the
bases were unoccupied by Senatorial
representatives at the time.
Carey scored Washington's first run,
the fifth inning. He opened with single
and reached second on Lees safe hit.
Clarke's sacrifice advanced him as far
as third and Townsend's fly to center
brought him home. The second run Sc
cured by the townfolk was Keister s
homer.
Two singles and a steal in the third
enabled Monte Cristo Cross to score,
Hartsel and Harry Davis tailed in the
sixth on base on balls-given to
Hartsel-a single and Seybolds s hit for
two bases. Fultz tripled in the eighth
and came home when Lave Cross flied

Townsend Very Wild.

Townsend was as wild during the
major portion of the game as an In
dian on the suburbs of jag. At mo-
ments, it seemed utterly impossible for
him to get the ball anywhere within
hailing distance. There were times when
he tried the trick of tossing the ball a
few feet back OF the batter, giving Ad-
miral Clarke an uncommon amount of
exercise.
Mr.. Townsend is not entitled to a
bouquet of cold type this morning for
his twirling of yesterday. This Chester
citizen has on number of occasions
given evidence that he can pitch ball in
first class shape, but yesterday he for
got how.
incidentally, it may be said that the
men behind him did not seem willing to
overexert themselves in hitting Mr.
Wiltse. They made weak, Intellectual at
tempts to do some damage to the sphere
but in the main they contented them
selves with merely poking at the ball
half hearted and without a vestige OF
success.

What Pleased the Crowd.

Then Mr.. Carruthers readjusted his
protector and resumed business.
But soon again he got another -Aarp
clip, this time on the arm. And once
more the throng seemed delighted.
Washington audiences are not always
so hard-heated as to laugh when an
accident befalls an umpire. but it is
worth mentioning that umpires of the
mental and visual caliber OF Mr.. Car
Tuthers do not come this way very
often

A WAR ON FLIES.
Agricultural Department Taking
Measures Against Them.

From Harper's Weekly.
The present administration is opposed to
flies and is fighting them through the De-
partment of Agriculture. DR.. Howard
chief of the division of entomology, is the
general directing the campaign, which IS
being prosecuted at present chiefly by the
distribution of pamphlets telling about all
sorts of flies, their various habits and
dangerous propensities For the better
study of them 2,3o0 were caught in kitch-
ems and dining rooms in all parts of the
country and put on trial. or these es per
cent were common house flies The house
fly does not bite nor sting. The greatest
danger from him arises from his neglect
to wipe his feet. He will tramp over filth
and infected matter and straightway track
his accumulation over anything that any
nearby family may be having for dinner
1t is easier to discourage flies altogether
than to teach them better habits. General
Entomologist Howard talks of a war OF
determination. but the first and most prac-
ucable thing to do is to teach people in
general as much as possible about files
when and where they breed and why they
are dangerous. 1t is well known that sta
bles are great nurseries of flies 1t seems
hopeless to attempt to regulate stables so
that flies won't breed in them, but a good
deal can be done by the use of knowledge
and of sense. and where stables are so
placed that their flies particularly an
noying the use of chloride Of lime will
help matters very much. The great CEN
trail truth about flies and the danger from
them seems to be the cleaner the place the

any poison around where they can get at
it. Bury filth; keep garbage in proper re-
ceptacles and remove 1t promptly.

Millions From Waste.
From the New York Commercial.

FROM the New 1Ork SOmmerclal.
One of the romances of the census is the
story of the cotton seed and the millions
of dollars it yields annually, where a few
years ago the seed was a nuisance, out
lawed by the states of the cotton belt. In
the Mississippi laws of 1857 was one impos-
ing fine of $50 for every day that cotton
seed was left around gin house to menace
public health. In 1870 a process for ex-
tracing oil from cotton seed had been dis
covered, and product worth $14,O was
realized What was deemed a nuisance in
1857 continued to prove valuable through
invention until In the census year Of 1900 1t
gave a return to the mill operators of over
S42, AL 600. Cottonseed oil is used on the
table rivaling that of the olive and threat
ening to drive the latter from the market.
The oil also enters into soap and butter
making and Is burned in miners lamps.
The hulls are used in making paper, fuel
and fertilizer. while enormous quantities Of
the seed itself find a market as food for
cattle.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, August Z, 1902.
August is the month when the mother
of daughters begins to brood over the ser
ious problem of autumn school clothes.
Whatever age she IS, mamma wants missy
to look her best; every sensible mother
realizes that an unbecOming or inadequate
wardrobe is often the cause of much youth
full suffering. Especially is this the case
with girls removed from the resourceful
influences of home: maidens pursuing their
studies in distant schools and colleges,
where the steady need TO appear well, not
to speak of dress rivalries, incessanuy
spurs the virgin mind to thoughts of
clothes
As to the number of gowns required by
the boarding school girl, 1t apparently all
depends upon the pretentions of the house
OF learning At many places the dressing is
much too fine, too often changed and too
suggestive in genre of the friVolites of the
gTOwnups. But. happily, an effort Is being
made to change this. and following the lead

several New York boarding schools of long
established prestige. now limit the school

Little Accessories.
In the way of little elegancies never
was the school girl more fortunate than
now. All Of the good department shops
are considering her needs, and from the
crown of her head to the soles of her feet
she may be admirably fitted out at these
places: Her new French handkerchiefs are
exquisite-litt1e squares of delicately tinted
null, with very narrow hens, and her mon
ogram, a butterfly, or daisy worked In one
corner. Pretty boxes to hold these and
other trifles are made of cardboard COW

also bordered with swansdown, the mate

A word on hats, though the subject is
be1ated. The new headgear for feminine

cording to the age of the wearer. For ex-

most elaborate hats, huge things burdened

Other good schools hats for misses in the

bow at the front, or tartan scarfs, knotted
at the side, trim these prettily.

HOW TO SEND FLOWERS
SHARE THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE
WITH LESS FORTUNATE FRIENDS.
If Carefully Packed May Be Sent a
Long Distance-Direc-
tons.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
How often, in the blazing city, one re-
ceves letter from some happy friend in
the midst of green fields, which says, Il
wish 1 could share with you some of the
sweet country flowers which fill my cool
room!' And, indeed, country flowers, old
fashioned country blossoms, are boon and
blessing when they come and tell the city
dweller of the cool hooks and shady roads
where they We're born. 1t is quite practi-
cable to send flowers a long distance if the
following rules are obeyed:
Never use cardboard boxes, but always
send flowers in tin box. Line it with
sheet of damp moss, and above this sheet
of florists paper, If you have 1t, or tissue
paper, taking care that it fits into the cor
ners and around the sides. The flowers
should be placed in, row after row, until
there is a layer of flowers fitting one into
the other all over the bottom of the box.
Never crowd nor put one layer on the top
of the other. The rows must be as close
together as possible; the flower heads of
each row should be on the stems of the
row Immediately preceding it, so that when
the box is finished only flowers are to be
seen and no stems. They must be closely
packed or they will tumble about. Place on
top another sheet of paper and then damp
moss, but do not press the flowers. Always
gather the flowers in the evening, and then
place in water some hours before they are
packed, and in the dark, so that the flowers
may have time to suck in sufficient water
to keep them fresh. One drop Of florists
gum is sometimes put in the middle of a
flower, care being taken that it does not
touch the petal itself. Sometimes little
collar or tissue paper and wool slipped be-
meath the petals is a good thing. One of
the safest ways to send delicate flowers is
to cut Sits in potatoes and insert the flower
stems, taking care that they are firmly fas-
tened In and supported by little cotton or
paper. Flowers will keep for long time in
this way.

The Fashions Change

There have been few changes from the
past season In fashions for school girls
The gowns now being made all show the
Influences Of summer models, skirts running
TO the side pleats found so graceful and
becoming, with blouse bodices, sporting
fancy sleeves and ornamental yokes, for the
upper garment.
In the way of material the frocks for
first wear are of lighter weight stuffs than
those for later use. For lOng-skirt maid
ems the daintiest little dresses are seen in
figured challies, trimmed with bands of
plain color. These are delightful to wear,
the soft, delicate stunts contributing little
10 weight and defying wrinkles.
In color effects the new challies surpass
anything seen before, some Of the Persian
patterns introducing many tints, and are
OF indesCribable beauty. The old blues and
white and reds and white are also seen.
4 smart get-up just turned out for a
Bryn Mawr girl is of challie in this stylish
combination The skirt is IN circular shape
with three bands OF plain blue, following an
eccentric pattern some distance from the
bottom. In fact, a shaped founce is sug-
gested by this trimming which encircles

coats, but the long ones depend upon a
certain gravity of treatment for good eff
fects. However. there are trimmed long
coats-trimmed to the top notch, narrow
Draids outlining wider ones, and fancy bone
buttons and velvet collars and cuffs smart
ening them up prodigiously.
This tendency even holds good with the
rain coats, some of which are much too
fine for their calling. A so-called rain coat
seemed almost insolently fixy, with the ad-
vantage that 1t could shine gloriously on dry
occasions. Waterproof serge, In a deep,
pleasing blue, was the material of this A

fitted with shallow stitched pleats, held

VICTORIA AS A DANCER,
England's Late Queen Was Exceeding
ly Graceful in Her Youth.

From the Chicago Chronicle
In the London Globe, an issue of which
printed in 1888 has recently come to light
there is an account of Queen Victoria s ap-
pearance at her first ball. The writer thus
describes the scene:
Last night her majesty gave her first
ball since her accession to the throne. It
was also the first grand party given at
Buckingham new palace. About 600 invi-
tations We're issued and the preparations
which have been making for the past few
days were on a scale of unusual splendor
and magnifcence. At 1915 her majesty
entered the first ball room, Weippert's band
striking up upon the queens entrance God
Save the Queen. Her majesty was received
by the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess OF
Gloucester and other royal relatives. About
twenty minutes afterward her majesty at
tended by the lord chamberlain, proceeded
through the line of numerous and distin-
guished guests, which her majesty ac-
knowledged with her customary grace and
affability.
Her majesty opened the ball and hon
ored his royal highness Prince George of
Cambridge with her hand in the first set of
quadrilles, the music Of which was from
La Domino Noir Her jesty danced
with infinite grace and animation. Her
majesty subsequently proceeded to the
north drawing room, where the Queens
Own Quadriile Band under the direction
of Mr. Weippert, were stationed In the or
chestra and performed in admirable style
the Royal Serenade Quadrilles.' Her mai
esty danced this set of quadrilles with Wis
count Jocelyn, the eldest son of the Earl Of
Roden, who was attired in the uniform of
the Rifle Brigade. Most of the company
appeared in splendid military or naval uni
forms and the ladies in rich court Co.'S
TUNES.
Her majesty was attired in a magnifi-
cent white satin slip, over which was
silver lama tunic trimmed with silver white
blond lace, an agraiffe on either side, with
maiden blush roses, studded in the center
with brilliants. Her majesty wore on her
left arm the insignia of the order Of the
garter, also the star in briliants and the
ribbon of the order. Headdress of roses
(maiden blush), the center formed of bril-
liants, and a small bandalette confined the
whole, diamond drop earrings"

the same picturesque sleeves, the same
dainty blousing vests, with only shorten
ing of skirts and a modification of trim

be suitably simple in style, but there are
no restrictions on lesser accessories, which
may be as numerous and as elegant as the
peusiOnaire can afford.
