The heavy rains the last day or two
have done considerable damage to

for planting their gardens, hut they
were too early, for the heavy rains
have packed the land as hard as it
ever was. The early gardener does

CLEAN UP THE STREETS.

The city should own its fire depart
ment horses and have stalls for them
and two keepers, one for the day and
the other for the night These
horses could pay for their board and
lodging in work during the day and
still always be ready in case of fire.
There is plenty of hauling in the
city that could be done. The streets
other rubish-matter that is decay
ing and creating sickness every min
ute in the day. The city has one
mule wagon employed, which occa-
sionally takes up barrel of paper if
the paper is not too heavy and the
day is a perfectly fair one, but the
city should be cleaned up and at its
expense. There are more boxes, bar
rels, brickabts, boards and trash gen
orally in the streets Of Hattiesburg
than in any other city of the same
size in the south. If box gets out
of an alleyway it will have to get
move on itself, for there is no other
power to move it. The streets Of
Hattiesburg ought TO be cleaned up,
and literally sprinklod with gravel.
Let the board stop growing and go
10 grayeling the streets. IL will do
more good and give us better and
cleaner streets and will be more COM
mendable TO the board. Growing
and wrangling never made good
streets yet

City League Will Decide on Teams To- Night.
 The managers of the City Amateur Base Ball league will get down to busi- ness tonight when they meet in St Joseph's rooms. The committee re- gently appointed to look into the mat ter of the composition of the league held meeting last evening and dis cussed the various teams mentioned. This committee will report to the man. agers this evening. The league will be stronger this year than ever before, and each manager is hustling now to secure the best talent. It will be fight for leadership right from the first crack of the ball. President Gordon of the New York American league club does not pro- pose to depend upon the surface and elevated roads to carry all his patrons who desire to witness the games at the new park. He has just made arrange ments with the New York Central rail- road for special baseball train during the season. The train will be made up of a dozen or so coaches and will start from downtown at Thirtieth street and Tenth avenue. Then 1t will stop at Fifty-ninth and 125th streets. The fare will be nominal. The rent paid by the New York club for the grounds for the first year is S6,OOO, and it will in- crease up to $11,00O year.
 The directors of the Hartford Base ball club met yesterday afternoon but no action was taken regarding the man. agement of the team or of the disposal of the franchise. H. H. Jennings of the firm of Jennings x Graves, was con- sidering the purchase of the franchise and if he had taken 1t he intended to take MT Underwood, a Bridgeport re- porter, inthe business with him. He finally decided that he had too many things to look after in the summer and he did not think he wanted the team. Billy Lush and MT Jennings are now considered out of the matter and others who are negotiating for the team will be heard. It was said that some action might be taken tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Th

w WA01lNIlONs MATCH Af.- luS spring racing season at Bennfngs was opened here under most unfavorable weather conditions, but with good sized crowd in attendance. The rain which has fallen for the past three days continued up to the. moment of starting the first race. It then cleared up, making things more comfortable for the public. The track was sea of mud, and the going consequently was very heavy. Redfern rode in five races and piloted two winners and second place horse. The open steeplechase for four-year-olds, with only three starters, was won handily by Gum Honey, with Mara up. Gold Ray fell at the first jump and later fell again, but Bern hardt pluckily regained his mount, and as he crossed the tape bad third he was loudly applauded.
 The Bennings Spring handicap, the most interesting event on the days card, went to the Daly favorite, Him. self, with Odom up. Several scratches reduced the field in this race to six horses. Ahumada was the first to get away, followed by Himself. The lead CT widened the gap to two lengths, but Himself warmed up and gradually wore his opponent out. A furlong from the finish Ahumada tired perceptibly, and Himself finished winner by short length.

CARE OF CUT GLASS.
How It May Be Handled and Thor.
 oug,h1y Cleaned without Chipping It.

A housekeeper whose table furnish ings are always beautifully clear and shining as if new, gives the following hints for the care of cut glasses, espe- cia1ly of such pieces as are too valua- ble to be washed haphazard with the other tableware.
 Use only tepid water and the purest castillo or other good soap for the cleansing and rinsing of such articles and manipulate small, stiff brush during the washing in order to get every particle of dust out of the cut ting.
 Then submerge the piece in boxwood sawdust and allow it to remain some little time so that the sawdust shall absorb the moisture and clear the glass. The softest of clean cloth with out any nap about it should be used for the final wiping and polishing.
 Comm on white potato peelings should be used for cleansing the bottom of carafes, decanters and vases. The shot frequently employed for this pur pose is apt to scratch the glass and leave marks that show from the out side, says the St. Louis Republic.
 The potato peelings should be left in the articles oyer night or for sew eral hours and then be washed out with tepid water.
 Experience shows that the short life due to the abrupt changes of tempera- ture to which they are commonly sub jected.
 A tray or dish that has been used for ice cream sherbet, or any very cold substance, if plunged into hot water, is almost sure to crack.
 Likewise a. pitcher or tumbler which has been filed with ice water if put suddenly into hot water or placed too, near fire or hot stove, will show the effects. There is no risk of breakage where tepid water is used for cleans ing
 A piece of cut glass should never be taken from 8 china closet or closed cabinet where it has been in pro- tected atmosphere free from drafts and put imm ediately in contact with a marble table top or other cold sub- stance.
 If the carafe and tumblers to be used for iced drinks be put into moderately cool water for a time before they are used their safety is insured.
 Something of the same forethought must be taken in guarding cut glass objects from harm as is practiced with delicate child or a pet animal. Under ordinary rough handling the glass will lose its luster and crack or chip.
 But with a few precautions regu- larly observed there is no reason why piece of cut glass should not be pre- served intact and brilliant for genera tions.

ON THE MAT.
Dan Mcleod Preparing For Two Great Matches.
Tom Jenkins Will Be His First Oppon- ent-Jim Parr will ollow Him and Both Will Be Decided in Buffalo.

Tom Jenkins Will Be His First Oppon-
 ent-Jim Parr will ollow Him and
 Both Will Be Decided in Buffalo.
 Buffalo, N. Y, March 24.-Wrestlers and men interested in wrestling all over the country are awaiting with fn- terest the two matches that Dan Me Leod, the present American champion of the mat, will have in Buffalo in the
 near future-with Tom Jenkins on April and. with Jim Parr, the Eng lishman, about three weeks later. These matches will do much to clear up any that may remain as to the right of title to the American championship. If these three men do not hold the hon. ors between them, then the champion of American wrestlers is still uncover ed.
 For years Mcleod was regarded as the best man of the weight, picking up the title by common consent, where Lewis, Acton and others laid it down. Then came McLeod's visit to Cleveland to down Jenkins twice in an hour. The Cleveland mill hand stood him off
 without once going to his knees. From l that moment Jenkins's star was in the ascendancy but it was four years after when Mcleod at last met him in a
 best two in three match for the cham pionship. Mcleod lost, after gaining a fall. Then Jenkins again defeated Nc
 Leod in an even match in Cleveland and lost a decision to him trying to
 handicap him two falls in ninety min utes.
 Followers of the sport know that Jenkins protested his Worcester defeat, declaring that injury to his leg alone forced him to give up and forfeit the title to Mcleod. However that may be, he lost, and the match in Buffalo will give him his first chance to get back to his old position.
 The Jenkins bout will have an i'm portant bearing on the match between Mcleod and Parr. While. after their matches here and in Cleveland, it does not look as if Parr will ever defeat Jenkins. 1t does not follow that he can not beat Mcleod. Mcleod might beat Jenkins, Jenkins might beat Parr, and yet Pagr might defeat Mcleod, for the
 men are all built differently, and Me Leod's style of work may be better adapted for Parr than for the more sluggish Jenkins. Mcleod. of course, has the call at present on the English
 man. He failed to defeat him in a
 handicap match, it is true, but there
 was scarcely a time during that hour | of wrestling in Buffalo that Mcleod looked the inferior man.

COTTON OPERATIVES SUPPORTED
Textile Workers of America Indorse
 the Strike For More Pay.


 the Strike For More Pay.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, March 24.- The executive council of the United Textile Workers of America at spe- cial session in this city gave its un' qualified indorsement to the request ot the operatives in the cotton mills in Lowell to enforce their demand for an increase of 10 per cent in wages A similar indorsement was given the operatives in the mills of the New England Cotton Yarn company in New Bedford, Taunton and this city, while the strike of the mule spinners now in progress at Manville and Woonsocket R. l., was approved.
 In order to support the strike in the latter places and in anticipation of those which may take place at Lowell and in the mills of the New England Cotton Yarn company the executive committee voted to levy an assessment on the 10000 members of the textile union to cover immediate needs and also as defense fund.
 Whatever action has already been taken by individual unions was ap proved and the committee declared that in any instance the various un ions were found to have been Justified in every claim made and move taken.
