A good sized crowd was present at the Fair grounds, Fourth of J uly morn ing, to witness the game of ball between the married and single men. The married mems nine by wretched field ing and costly errors on the part of the third and second baSemen lost the game in the first inning, when the single men piled up 13 runs. Attorney w. J. Beecher pitched the first inning and then Frank Tyrrell took his place in the pitchers box for two innings, MT Beecher going to third base. In the fourth inning Curtis P. Morris went in to pitch for the married men and the young men were shut out in one, two, three order. Bert Coger made a home run for the married mems team. c. K. Beardsley of the married mems nine in running to first base fell and nearly stood on his head but regained his feet and made his base safely amid great applause. Harry Madigan caught in grand style for the married mems nine. Curtis Glover and Gus Carlson were the battery for the single mems nine, and did effective work. Selectman Morris was struck in the arm by wild ball thrown by Glover, which was not altogether appreciated. Considering the fact that the young men had been in daily practice, and the married mems nine had not played since last year, and some of them not in 10 years, the young men have little to "blow' over.

necessary for the yards to be run at full

economically managed. There were many
loose ends and the work was not hustled

Forcing Immigration.
From the Chicago Record Herald.


Artificial methods of increasing the I'M
migration into the United States are from
every point of view. highly undesirable
The number of foreigners who are so hard
pressed by poverty at home, or so dazzled
by tales of prosperity here. that they come
to us on their own initiative Is large enough
10 cause concern as II Is. and when the
number Is increased by the efforts OF men
whose sole interest lies in the earning of
commissions at so much head the evil Is
unmfstakabe. Especially Is this true since
the artiffciafly stimulated immigration is
much less apt to consist of desirable ele-
ments than the natural immigration. Last
winter Congress had under consideration
an immigration law imposing educational
and other restrictions. but the strongest
features of the bill were defeated largely
because of the opposition of the ocean and
land transportation companies.
These same companies are unquestion-
ably responsible for the Objectionable
methods of drumming up immigration In
Austria and Hungary that are now re-
vealed by the Investigations of Special I'M
migration Agent Braun. Mr. Braun has
found elaborate organizations of general
and local immigration agents. the latter
consisting often of village priests. school
masters or officials, who work the coun-
try Systematically. He has even found
schools of instruction planned to give all
the necessary information needed by the
aliens who seek to pass the inspectors at
lar movement of immoral immigrants. He
has seen diseased men and women delib-
erately setting forth to smuggle them
selves into this country. Finally he has
obtained evidence of agencies that violate
the contract labor law.

July 2, 1SS1-19O3.

Twenty-Five years ago today President
Garfield while passing through the Penn
sylvania railroad station in this city, was
shot down by an assassin. The crime was
absolutely without warning. just as was
that committed twenty years later at the
Buffalo exposition, when President Nc
Kinley was wounded to death. When Pres
ident Garfield fell the capital was shocked
beyond expression. 1t was stunned for
hours by the news. In a few minutes the
tidings ran into every part Of the District.
The Stars extra editions following as rap
idly as the news could be gathered. told the
story in fast accumulating detail. The day
was very like this one. hot and dry. but
despite the discomforts Of the weather the
streets were filled with crowds throughout
the day and night. The scene around the
White House was one long to be remem-
bered. Thousands of people of all ages
and both sexes gathered there In respect
full silence. waiting for the bulletins. When
they were posted the substance was passed
from mouth to mouth to the confines of
the crowd Tears stood In the eyes of
strong men. Women's Sobs broke the hush.
The nations city had not recovered its
poise after the first shocking announce
ment. Then as the hours passed and the
Presidents hurt appeared to be not neces-
sarily fatal hope began to rise, and during
the weeks that followed 1t grew almost into
certainty that he would recover, especially
when upon his removal to the seashore he
began to improve. But then the end came
quickly. This is one of the saddest ami
versaries in the national calendar

Peonage in Alabama.

Quietly but surely a change Is coming
over the southern mind. Down In Alabama
not long ago some one with courage to con-
front the community with unpleasant facts
arose and called attention pointediy to tho
deplorable state OF large numbers of negroes
who were held in virtual slavery under a
system OF peonage through the courts. De-
malls rapidly followed. but proof was given
even faster until the state was oyerwheIm-
ed with a demonstration so complete that
1T could not be ignored. 1t was convinced
that men. women and even children were
working without wages for brutal masters
under the protection of the judiciary
Then followed a reaction. Laws prohibit
ing the practice were proposed. but more
ef1cient measures of reform were institut-
ed. Cases were drawn against two plant
ers. charging them with numerous ofrenses
In the enslaving OF human beings. and they
were finally brought TO trial Even then 1t
seemed unlikely that a jury could be found
to convict. The facts disclosed. however.
were too fragrant to be ignored 1t was
shown that men had been haled before
justices of the lower jurisdiction. charged
with fictitious ofrenses nominaIly convict
ed and fined beyond their means to pay.
and then. in default of payment, bound
over to the defendants for varying periods
under form of voluntary contract. In
some cases women were the victims Some
times. the masters managed to torment
their slaves into actions which furnished the
ground for criminal charges upon the ex-
piration of their terms. giving them a sec
ond claim on their services. 1t was proved
that men aald women had thus been held
under bondage for more than year at a
time and most inhumaniy treated. There
was startling evidence of collusion between
the planters and the justices. The whole
system of minor courts was tainted with
corruption.
The men were convicted and yesterday
they were sentenced each to serve year
In prison. The state acciaims their punish
ment. The public sentiment Is sufficiently
aroused to enable the courts now to pro-
