CARROLL INSTITUTE DEFEATS
YIN. c. A. AT BASKETBALL

The Carroll Institute team defeated
the Young Mems Christian Association
last night in a District League game
of basketball. played in the association
gymnasium by the score OF to S. The
game was one OF the cIeanest and hard
est fought of the season. It's victory
last night gives the CAROLS strong
lead in the championship race. and il is
doubtful II they will be overtaken.
The most noteworthy feature Of the
game was the playing OF Stoke"
Thompson, for the Carroll Institute five.
The little forward scored all the points
credited TO his side by throwing four
goals from the field Garner played the
best game for the Y NJ. c. 4. boys
and succeeded in basketing the leather
from field throws twice. The lineup:

Playing of the Champion
Camden National League
Team a Revelation to Local
Admirers of Basketball.

The feature OF the past week in local
athletic circles was the basketball game
played by the Washington Light Infau-
try and Camden National League teams
in the Infantry ArmOry last Wednesday
evening. The Camden boys are the
champion knights of the basket in the
country. and the superb game they
played was a revelation to local ad-
mirers Of this fascinating indoor sport.
No matter how far they were from the
basket. or in what position. nearly every
time they took a shot the bail landed in
the net
They seemed to care little whether
Washington boys were even on the floor.
Their style was 90 so after the bail as
soon as it was put in play and totally
disregard their opponents. The Gamblers
had team work down to a science. and
by aid Of a code OF signals kept the ball
continually on the move. They would
throw a. against the wall directly in
back OF the basket. and invariably the
leather would drop into it. The game
ended by the score OF 81 TO - in the
champions favor.
District Basketball League
In the District Basketball Lea que the
T. NJ C. a. team defeated the Ordway
Rifles and moved ahead of the COrco-
ran Cadet Corps. which lost to the Nor
tor Cadets. There is much enmity be-
tween the two Iast-named teams and
when the boys came together Friday
night they roughed Il the game proving
decidedly unpleasant to the large num-
bcr Of ladies who attended. The femin-
inc sex were further Inconvenience
within a minute or so after the game. as
the lights we're extinguished and they
were left in total darkness. The officials
regret this unpleasant occurrence. 1t
has been for many years the custom to
close the armory at l1:45. and at this
time the engineer. who is i'm remote
part OF the building turns of the cleo
trie lights Most of the games are over
before that time. and the managers or
neither team expected the game
To be OF so long a duration and
neglected to instruct the engineer TO al
low the lights to burn later than usual.
The fact that IL was nearly time for
the lights 10 20 out was called to the
attention OF one OF the officials and he
Immediately started for the engineer s
room TO prevent this occurrence. No
soorer-was he out OF the door than the
hall was left in total darkness. But
within two minutes the lights were again
turned on. though by that time the hall
was nearly vacated.
By its victory the MOrtons strength
ened their hold On second place and are
now but four games behind Carroll In
Yfifufe.

OpaIs of Various Degrees.

There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit
The precious or noble or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these colors are broken
into spangles 1t is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal. or girasole. with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common, or semi
opals, are nonopalescent. The hydro
plane, or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent. but becomes so by immersion
In water or any transparent fluid The
cachalong is nearly opaque and Of a
blush white color. The hyalite Is
colorless, pellucid and white. The opal
Jasper, or wood opal, is the petrifaction
of wood, opalescent, but without the
coloring which makes the mobile" gem
so precious.

Other Cases.

To hear opponents to the ADMINISTERS
ton talk in Congress and to read what
appears in some Democratic papers one
would be led to suppose that there was
no authority for the prompt action takep
in the Panama case by President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hay, whereas the
precedent was ample.
In evidence of this we quote the fol.
lowing from Maine daily:
"In his speech a. the annual dinner of
the Pittsburg chamber Of commerce tn,
other evening Senator Foraker defended
President Roosevelt from the charge OF
"indecent haste" in the recognition OF
The republic OF Panama. He pointed
out several presidents. Ia several cases
our recognition of new governments has
been quite as prompt, and in some even
more prompt. When the French peopl,
depOsed the Emperor Napoleon Ill. in
1871 and instituted republic, our recoe-
milton was granted the following DAY =.
We were equally prompt to recognize
the republic of Spain in 1873, and the
republic of Brazil when the Emperor
Dom Pedro was deposed. In those it
stances all the conditions existed as pre-
scribed by international law to warrant
recog milton, viz, that the new govern
ment shall be in control. exercising at
thOritv. and shall be the only govern
ment In control and exercising authority i,
to which a foreign government can
apply for the protection of it's citizens
or the discharge uf any other interna-
tioDal duty. These conditions existed
IN the case OF Panama, and besides the
situation was peculiar and the necessity
OF prompt recognition especially urgent
and commanding, on account of our
relations to the isthmus and our duty to
protect transit across that neck of land
from interruption"
Not all Democratic papers are against
President Roosevelt for the course pul-
sued by him in the Panama affair. TIE
Atlanta Constitution contains the TO :
lowing sensible paragraph: 1.-THE canal
matter is one of supreme business MT
ment to US and to Panama Both coui :
tries are now in position to treat upon
that issue. There Is no chance here for
bubble and childish complaints because

In rnstaDIe Fair.

An annual fair at Barn-taple, Eng
land, has been led for hundreds Of
years. 1t was originally held in July.
but the time was altered TO September
by charter granted by Queen Mary.
Barnstaple fair is inangurated with Il
ceremony In the town hall where a
special NEE ting Of the town council Is
held and spiced ale and toast prepared
in the council chamber by the beadles
and mace bearers are dispensed to all
who CROWD the building Appropriate
toasts are proposed and speeches made
by the local member Of parliament and
others, after Which the mayor proceeds
In procession to three points Of the
town, at each of which IS read his proc
lamation opening the fair and enjoin-
ing all concerned TO keep the peace dur
ing its continuance. Not until this
ceremony has been performed can the
business and fun of the fair proceed.
On the inauguration OF the fair a huge
stuffed white glove. adorned with flow
ers, is thrust on pole from one of the
upper windows of the town hall and
remains in evidence during the contin-
uance Of the festival as the symbol of
open handed welcome.
