The game was worthy of a much
larger attendance.
Hyde Park won the game in the
first three innings, in which time
Morrisville got some much needed
practice.
The work of Forbusb, short stop
for Morrisville and the fielding of Nc
Ginnis was faultless. Waite and
Smith also made some pretty catches.
When the visitors reached third
they found Wilkins right there, and
after one or two unsuccessful at
tempts they gave up the idea of bunt-
ing wilkins" out of his position.
There was too much reaction.

GARTER WILL BE FREE.

Former Capt. o. M. Carter. whose brill liant and promising military career term mated suddenly in the Fort L> avenworth prison with a five-year's sentence for l financial Irregularities growing out of his connection with the river and harbor im- provements at Savannah, Is due for re- lease from confinement early next year.
 At the war department few days ago the cese of Captain Carter was under discussion by a group of army officers. It will be recalled that Captain Carter was the army engineer in charge of the work in Savannah harbor.
 The rules of the prison are that the prisoners are granted curtailment of their sentence at the rate of two months a year for good conduct. Captain Carter has been a model prisoner while at Leav- enworth and ten months will be deducted from his term of five years according to the present indications. Unless he Is guilty of some serious breach of the pris- on regulations he will have to serve but four years and two months. That period will be reached some time next spring. Few army officers had brighter pros- poets than Captain Carter. just prior to the discovery of his dishonorable trans actions in connection with the Savannah 1 contract He was regarded as one of the brightest members of the engineer corps and had been named as one of the mem- i bers of the Nicaraguan canal commission of which Rear Admiral Walker Is now the head. His appointment was highly com mended by his then chief, Brig. Gen. John M. Wilson, now serving on the anthracite 1 coal strike commission, and in addition he was appointed military attache of the American embassy in London. His father in-law was Millionaire Westcott of New Jersey and altogether he was considered far beyond temptation of an unlawful na- ture.
 The charges made against him by Cap tain Gillette, who succeeded him at Sa- vannah. were vigorously denied at first. | and it was difficult to induce the author tiles at the war department to believe that Captain Carter would do a dishon- | orable act. The ablest counsel was em- ployed in his behalf. including former At torney General Wayne McVeagh. former Senator George F. Edmunds. and a long array of distinguished and influential counsel. He was finally convicted and af- ter many mysterious delays in the execu- tion of the sentence, he was incarcerated in the military prison at Fort Leaven-
 worth. In the meantime Greene and Gay. nor, charged with being his accomplices
 are in Canada lodging extradition pro ceedings by the government of the United | States.

 What is a multl-millionaire? Who ls he and how much is he supposed to oe worth?e These were questions asked yes- terday of anancier of long New York experience.
 That depends" replied the aforetime New Yorker, 'some years ago man who was worth seven or eight hundred thousand dollars was called millionaire and the man worth two or three millions was rated as a multi-millionaire.
 But in this age of expansion" said the old New Yorker. "a man must be worth actually a million or more to be rated a millionaire and worth fifteen millions to be classed with the muiti-millionaires,
 "It is reasonable to say that majority of men who are reputed to be worth mil lions are not worth more than two or three hundred thousand dollars. One Of the directors of the Sloss- Sheffield com pany who spends a week or more in Bir- mingham during the course of year. IS a multi-mlllionaire. He is a plain. unpre- tentious man; never talks about money; never refers to himself. And yet this di- rector is able to buy up dozen millon- aires with a multi-mlllionaire of two thrown in for good measure"

Much Too Hvste ricaI

There is no more promising town in Alabama than Anniston. It has every resource near at hand for the making of large town, but it is too impulsive within. It should not send so many committees to see the sheriff when he makes an arrest. So much impulsiveness will after a while drive away capital and newcomers. There is such a thing as overriding the i'm pulsive act, and Anniston is very near the limit.
 The best people should assist them selves, and the extremely impulsive should be told that their ever ready services are no longer needed. Let all remember that Alabama has a new constitution, complete set of laws and competent judges, and juries that are fully as trustworthy as any i'm Pulsive committee. Alabama is ar organized state-a society in whict law and order are predominant.
 And then there is the sheriff of the county, a most excellent man. The programme of impulsiveness is wear ing to his nerves. He cannot sleer when committees wait on him at all hours of the day and night. Anniston should abolish the committee busi ness, and try the statutes Tn such case made and provided. They are suffi cient, comprehensive, and sound, and action through and under them vii not check the prosperity of one O. Alabama's prosperous cities.

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP.
From the Washington Times

rTOIn tHo WaSnlnBtOn Times.
 A close friend of the Hon. James D. Richardson of Tennessee request The Times to announce that that gentleman will not ask the democratic hosts in the next house to re-elect him as their titu- lar leader. It appears that two terms in the position have filled MT Richardson's ambition to over1owing. Had the demo- crats won the house in the recent cam paign, as he fondly hoped but did not as confidently believe, as did so many other democratic statesmen, the Tennesseean would have been a candidate for speak, CT, and probably would have carried off the prize. But like the Hon. Joseph w. Bailey and others who have tried in vain to lead the minority of the house, MT. Richardson is said to have grown tired, and earnestly wishes to turn the reins over to whosoever can grasp them. It is thought that his withdrawal from the race will precipitate a lively contest be- tween the Hon. D. A. De Armond of Mis- souri and the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama. with the chances favoring the Alabamian.

AN ABBREVIATED sNowsToRM.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Mechanical devices are now made won- derfully real on the stage" said the old stock actor "It hasn't been so many years ago since even the simple device of depicting a snowstorm was regarded an achievement. I remember on one occa- sion was out with ten, twent' and tl.frt' company, playing repertory, and in one melodrama-I don't even now recall the name, for it was a pirated play-I took the part of an old man whose daugh- ter, the heroine, had been abducted. was supposed to be blind, and my strong scene was the third act, when I went out into snowstorm In search of my daughter She was lying in drift, and as hobbled across the stage I kept crying Me che-ildi where is mes che-ild? Well, it was early dn the season, and the play was the first attraction at that theater. The scene painters had been at work and had drop ped several paint brushes, hammers and other articles into the sheet that held the snowstorm. As the stage hands in the flies shook the sheets to make the snow come out couple of hammers same down and just missed me by an inch. was blind, and didn't dare to look up. but when monkey wrench just grazed my temple had presence of mind enough to yell: See wonder mooni the storm is overP The stage hands took their cue ana let up on me. and the audience never stopped to question how blind man could see wonder moon."

WOLVES EAT A RAILROAD.

From the Amaconda Standard
 About 1872 one of the first railroads of the northwest was built in the Terri tory of Washington, from walla walla to Walula, along the banks of the Walla Walla river. and following the general line of what is now the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation company's road be- tween those points.
 The road was a primitive affair, and was built owned, and operated by Dr. Baker of Wana walla. It had no Pull man cars, chair cars or buffet cars, and the day coaches were mostly plat form or fiat cars Instead of having a right-of-way. the road had permission to go through fields of the farmers, conse- quently the road was not a rapid tran sit one. as the train hands had to get off and Jay down the rail fences and put them up again after the train had passed through.
 The roadbed was constructed by lay ing cross ties six or eight feet apart, and on those laying wooden stringers for rails. The heavy traffic over the road caused the rails to wear in spots. so that train wrecks and smashups were of daily occurrence. These were not se- rious, for, when the train crew saw a wreck coming their way, they would hop off and let 1t wreck.
 The annoyance however, soon became detrimental to the interest of shippers, so the owner had to devise some means of overcoming the difficulty. Rails of standard railroad iron were out of the question; they had to be shipped 'the Horn around" and freighted by wagon quite a distance, and strap iron could not be had, and the doctor, with Yankee shrewdness, finally hit upon the happy idea of substituting rawhide for strap iron. Cattle were plentiful and rawhide cheap, so the doctor soon had his track layers at work putting the rawhide on the wooden stringers. The rawhide soon became dry and as hard as iron. and an- swered the purpose admirably during dry weather.
 The winter succeeding the laying of the rawhide track was severe one for that part of the country. The snow lay on the ground for several weeks. The wolves were driven from the mountains by the deep snow, and skirmished for a living as best they could in the valleys. When the snow began to melt 1t softened the rawhide. and the hungry wolves soon found the tracks. When spring came and the snow had melted. the wolves had eaten up the railroad track from Walla Walla to Walula

condition. and 1904 comes on apace. Much depends upon public sentiment and market developments in the next three or four months. The great prob lem before the magnates of the repub- lican party relates to the tariff and it's trusts, and lney are watching every indication of public sentiment closely. They do not wish to disturb the tariff, because such action might disturb the subscribers to their campaign fund, but if public sentiment should become alarming they may undertake what they will be pleased to call revision of the tariff. But any revision they may make will not deceive intelligent voters, however cunningly 1t may be planned.
 Real revision can only come after the people have demanded it by the overthrow of the high protection party of the country. This is the only road to real revision. There is no other. and the opportunity will come in 1904. If it is not embraced and turned to account, the trusts will exploit con sumers four years longer, and they will be merciless in those years.

Novels and Novel ReadIna.

'rW. D. Howell advises girls to read his- tory in order to get perspective, and after that to read all the biographies if biographies amuse them," said a member of literary club.
 .'Mr. Howell says: Most novels are worse than worthless, not because they are wicked. but becaufe they are silly and helplessly false. Among the worst Of the worse than worthless are the his- torical novels which pervert and distort history, not so much because they have not the historical sense. very. very few novels in this kind are above con- tempt, but these are so good that they redeem all their kind. Some of Scotts Out not many), Manzonis T Promessi Sposi," Stendhars Chartreuse de Parme." !" Tolstoys War and Peace" DAzeglio's ''Nicolo de Lapi," and the novels of Erck- mann-Chatrian treating of the Napoleon io campaigns are books of such superla- tive excellence as to give one pause in any headlong censure of the class they dignity. But when a poor girl has read them, what shall she dor Cio on from them to worse novels? By no means; she must go back to the best and read them again and keep reading them, and them only. This was counsel I meant to give her with respect to the history, biography and criticism which I would have her mainly read, but it is far more pertinent in respect to imaginative literature. No one really hears an opera at the first hearing; it is at the second, third, tenth or twentieth hearing Chat one begins to hear 1t; and the case is much the same with any work of art. When you first see a picture statue, edifice, you do not see it; you have only looked at it, and you have not read a great novel at the first reading If it is a great novel; it will make you wish to read it again; though this is not the prime test of a great novel. If 1t has been written in sympathetic ink as a novel always should be, the warmth of your liking in repeated -perusals can aione bring out the lines and colors of character and sit- uation and design, and 1t is better to read great novel many times than to read many novels. even good novels. !"

WILLY MISSISSIPPI BEARS
 KEEP PRESIDENT BUSY
From the New York Times.

From the New 1ork Times.
 K71N ISSIsSIPPI bears are not only 1(Vb numerous" said a New York CT who is familiar with the subject, "but they are fat wary. and full of fight. and President Roosevelt will come Into an experience with stren- nous sport such as none of his previous hunting trips has given him. It will be thoroughly in his line. for if there is any wild sport that requires courage, endur- ance, and nerve to enjoy 1t to the full 1t is the chase of a Mississippi bear through the difficult covers and over the uncertain ground where that bear must be hunted.
 Tt is the acoins, the hickory nuts, and tho pcacan nuts oe the Mississippi for ests that make them paradise for bears. The bear loves the sweet rich nutritious meats of these nuts He waxes sweat, juicy, tender and dellciously flaw ored.
 'The Mississippi bear hunver trains his horses as well as his dogs to hunt the big, shaggy game. The man who can sit a horse well cannot have more thrilling sport if he doesn't mind me risk of be- ing hanged by some pendant vine or knocked on the head by some tree limb that overhanss tho trail at the proper height to do the knocking if the rider Is not on his guard. as he is borne along through the tangled mazes of a Missis- sippi bear hunt. ovcr fallen trees and matted stacks of prostrate canebralfes in tho wake of a yelping, determined keen-nosed pack of bear dogs, ana on mount that knows just as well as the dogs do what the meaning of all that hue end cry Is. and will mind neither word nor brldle bit until it has brought him as near the Inevitable fight as 1t is pos sible for it to get
 "The Mississippi bear dogs are usually meek despondent-looking fox hounds out of which all scent or knowledge of any other game than bear has been bred and whipped. A Mississippi bear dog fit for the chase through forest, bayou and brake will be obvious to deer, fox wild cat or whatever wild beast may confront him or cross his path, and will know only the track of the bear he Is following. The dogs are hunted in packs. but only one or two are turned into the thioket at first They are selected dogs of tried nose and courage, They go in to find the bear track. When they give tongue the hunt CTS know the game Is started, and the re- mainder of the pack is unlashed and scurries to join the pioneers of the chase.
 ''rhe bear will often lead the hunt miles through the tangled woods and then sud- denly fetch it up against the face of a bordering canebralke into which the wary brute has forced entrance and is making his way, followed by the dogs which find easy thoroughfare into the unknown depths of 1t. Then horses must be aban- doned. and the hunter, already torn and bleeding from contact with briars and vines and olutching growths of many kinds that have risen up and hung down and poked themselves in from this side and the other as his horse carried him
