How "Der Made Four Home Runs in
One Game.

How "Dep' Made Four Home Runs in
One Game.
The most remarkable thing that ever
happened on ball field, is, rby common
consent, the batting streak which Ed Dele
hanty, left fielder for the Phillies, showed
in a game with the Chicago nine out on
the West Side grounds in '97, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Adonis Bill Terry was pitching for Chi
cago. Altogether the Philadelphias made
Just eight hits of Terry, and Of the eight
Delehanty made no fewer than five out
of five times at bat.
The first time up Delehanty lined out a
home run to the left field bleachers. The
second he hit for four bases to right field.
On his third effort he sent. a sizzling liner
out into Bullhead Dahlen's territory.
Dahlen got under it and stuck up his
hands, but the ball was going so fast that
it almost amputated both of his fins.
Delehanty got to first on 1t.
The fourth time to bat Delehanty sent
one right straight for center and cantered
When he walked to the plate for the fifth
time the fans were all crazy with excite

Another home rum DEL they shouted
and by way of humoring the crowd, Big
Bill LANCE went way out between the two
clubhouses in center and waved his hands

Delehanty hit the first ball that was
pitched. 1t went sailing out into left. hit
the roof of the clubhouse on that side and
bounded off onto the roof of the other.
Meanwhile Delehanty walked leisurely
around the bases and scored his fourth
home run.
But in spite of Delehantys marvellous
record of four home runs and single out
of five times at bat his team lost the game
by score of 8 to g..

destroyed for all time. Ashes from ten to
fifteen feet deep cover the country. In the
neighborhood of the volcano ashes are so

seven to fifteen feet. and 5000 square miles

third Of the entire coffee crop has been de-

Of the Southern Baptist convention ad-
journed tonight. The next convention will

cial to per capita standard was carried
over to the next meeting. The proposition

States" also went over.
A report to the convention on the Cuban
missions recommended the appointment OF
q committee to investigate the matter and
report the full facts to the convention. The
report said in part:
GAS a result of our investigations we are
convinced that DR.. Diaz's resignation was
accepted only after he insisted upon 1t by
offering it second time. We are also
convinced that the title to the board props
erty in Havana is secure and cannot be
disturbed, and that the board is taking
all practicable steps to protect said title.
We are further convinced that representa-
tives Of the board proposed to DR.. Diaz to
arbitrate the differences between the board
and himself and that he declined the prop
osition.
DR.. J. B. Gamben of Texas made telling
speech on the negro work.
1.-THE negroes are not the great problem
Of the day." he said, but the white man.
On white shoulders pre-eminently rest all
burdens. If you solve the white man prob
lem, If you get all white men good, they
will solve the negro question and all
others

cisco Athletic Club next November. Cor
bett, who is now in Victor. Col, and who
is due east next week, yesterday accepted
the offer of the club, which calls for ia
pounds at O. clock in the afternoon on the
day of the contest.
William A. Pierce of Boston Is Ben Jor-
dams representative in this country, and
he will meet Corbett on his arrival in New

Jordan is well known in this country as
q good man. despite the fact that Eddie
Santry knocked him out In sixteen rounds.
He is pounds the best man in his class in
England. If the match Is made young

England and Germany declared war on Venezuela but committed acts of war be- fore they dld any dscl ring.

 The United States also holds under the tenets contslnsd in President Monros's message that the powers of other eontl- nents are not to interfere ln the govern ments of American nations. This does not Imply that European powers may mt redress wryngs committed by American nations upon these powers or upon thslr citizens and subjects.
