Base Bail This Afternoon.

The first really great game of ball
for the season will be played at the
ball park this afternoon, when the
Agricultural College team of Lake
City and the Palatka base ball club
will have "A set-tO.
The game will be called at 8 p. M,
and from the interest manifested
there will be a very large attendance.
No cow-bells, fog horns, megaphones.
or other air-splitting devices will be
permitted.
The college club has already es-
tablished Il reputation for swift play,
and is a leading aspirant for state
championship honors. The club
already has several victories to its
credit, one of them being over the
st. Augustine club. 1t will thus be
seen that the Palatka team will have
an opponent worthy of it and
that the probabilities are that the
game today will be one of intense in
terest. The Palatka nine is not $50
slow" either, and the general opin-
ion of home people is that our team
will be the victOrs. This opinion,
while largely based on home pride,
had its inception in the fact that the
local club contains some really eX-
pert players.

BY the Twist of His Wrist.

The match game of ball last Sstur-
day between the local mines of Pa
latka school boys and those from
Crescent City resulted in II victory
for the Palatka boys by score of 81
to 10. 1t was a sort of Derby day for
the city boys. The teams were qui e
evenly matched as regards size,
though some two or three players in
each team were u little above the
maximum age set forth in the chal-
lenge.
The Crescent City team proved to
be IA lot Of gentlemanly little fellows
who took their defeat gracefully.
In the field they are said by some to
have actually outclassed their oppo-
nents, their great weakness being at
the bat. They could not ''get on to

experience with the zig-zag ball, and

Welch. She resumed her journey
homeward Friday afternoon.
Tax Assessor Billiard is making a
house to house canvass in the bust

to see him, hence his determination
to do the calling himself. Mr.. Bull

the real cash value" of realty, is
meeting with little intelligent oppo-

Hepburn Adindged Insane.

After the adjournment of the cotf1-
ll1ittee appointed to examine into
the mental condition of Frank HeI-
burn One week ago last Friday, that
gentleman seemed to enter most
heart ly into the business of manu-
featuring evidence against himself.
His actions upon the street and else
where were so wild and so unlike his
usual course that the committee,
though it had adjourned till today,
was hastely called together last Fri
day, when Hepburn was brought be-
fore the court. 1t took the commit
tee but short time to make its re-
port and Judge Coke then made out
the commitment papers.
j. G. Brown, a former patrolman,
now an employee of the compaHy" Of
which Mr.. HephulEn was the super
intenden.tgSwas appointed a special
sABflfcer to take Mr.. Hepburn to Chat
tahoochee, whittier he started with
his charge on Sunday morning. Mr..
Hepburn was safely conducted TO
the asylum which he entered Sum
day night.
Mr.. Brown reports that his charge
gave him little trouble en- route, and
that he was easily managed by Kind
ness. On the Pullman car Mr.. Hep
burn talked freely of the case to pas
sengers whom he sought to impress
with the idea that Brown was the in
sane man and lie (Hepburn) the otli-
Ger, a delusion that Mr.. Brown made
no effort to contradict. He also
urged Brown to consent to enter the
asylum as Hepburn and let himself
(Hepburn) act as the officer, argu-
ing that as soon as the ASYLUM au-
thorities found out the mistake they
could not hold him. But Mr.. Brown
didn't like the idea.
On arrival at River Junction, Mr.
Hepburn objected to riding to the
asylum in the asylum van, demand
ing public carriage instead. This
objection, however, he finally
waved on condition that Mr.. Brown
get inside the van and ride with him.
The following morning Mr.. Brow Il
states that Mr.. Hepburn was out in
the yard with the other patients
shaking hands with them, getting
acquainted, and telling them about
his case
The collapse of this undoubtedly
brilliant man is sad affair, and
universal sympathy is expressed fol
both himself and Mrs Hepburn.

Just for recreation and to show that
he holds no ill-feeling for those of
his fellow citizens whose natural
bent is craftsmanship, attended the
meeting of the democratic executive
committee, of which he is a member,
at Jacksonville, Tuesday. Mr.. Fearn-
side says harmony was so thick you
could cut it with II cheese knife; men
who were getting ready to oppose
each other for office in the coming
campaign, fell on each others necks
and told their love. Everybody felt
good. 1t was a regular campmoeting
of good feeling. Mr.. Fearnside says
that at one time during the meeting
of the committee when the subject of
the eligibility of a candidate for
office serving on the executive COM
mittee came up, and members got
scared and commenced to resign, that
IL halt had to be called. "Why,n
said he ''if we had started to accept
