this churchly city was 100000,
of which nine-tenths were Catholics.
We came along by the north coast of
ireland, by wayo Londonderry, and
in few hours, leaving Ireland be-
hind, we passed the Null of Kintire

hours from that time we passed the
Isle of Man, a place famous all over
the world as being independent of
any of the British Isles. It is mid
way between England, Ireland and
Scotland, but is absolutely indie
pendent of them all, having it's own
governor and laws and government.

THE KIDS ALSO PLAY BALL,

The very little kids of the town
went to Delhi Saturday and played
game of ball with the very little
kicks of Delhi, with the result that
the very little kids of Redwo were
walloped to the tune of 30 to IA.
The latter relied on the freight train
bringing them home. 1t did,. but
the train that was scheduled to pass
through Delhi at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon, did not reach here until
1910. The boys got home a little
after one o'clock, badly whipped

for Redwood Falls, anyway.

FIR. WOODS IN LIVERPOOL.
Took Off His Hat to the Green Hills of the
Emerald Isle.

To THE EDITOR: Faithful to my
promise of sending you few words
about my travel, I take this occa-
sion of telling you in the first place
that arrived in Liverpool safely in
the good ship Montrose on the first
day OF July. 1 will say to start
with that the passage was most de-
lightful from every conceivable
standpoint and that I enjoyed it i'm
mensely. The ship itself was
steady as rock all the way over,
there scarcely being a ripple on the
waves and not single passenger
was affected with NAL de mer. Our
ship was 500 feet long and it's ton
mage was something like 10, 900 tons.
Our captain, Mr.. Evans, was very
genial gentleman and the officers
and crew were so courteous to the
passengers that we presented a
testimonial to our captain before
leaving the ship.
It will take me some time in
words to express my feelings of de.
light when we first came near the
Irish coast. We sailed by way OF
Londonderry and when I saw the
hills of Ireland for the first time
again after nine long years of alb
sence took off my hat and thanked
God that he had given me strength
to return again and personally wish
the top of the morning in my heart
of hearts to the old green hills of
the Emerald Isle.
Our experiences on the steamer
were many and pleasant. We passed
several icebergs when off the coast
OF Newfoundland. It was a glori-
Gus sight to see those glaciers, huge
ice-bergs sailing down majestically
over the waves, like ourselves. We
saw one particularly, it must have
measured 800 feet long and was $50
feet high, and only four-ffths of
the icebergs were visable over the
water, you can readily figure out
the immensity of this snow-capped
mountain. There were numerous
whales, but I am not going to detail
them all for you now, lest at this

COMMERCIAL CLUB DOINGS.

An enthusiastic meeting of the
Commercial club was held last Fri
day evening, at which time the CON-
mittee on membership and enter
tainment were instructed to pre-
pare banquet to all the business
men in Redwood Falls for Friday
evening next, the object being to
have all interests represented for a
general discussion of the needs of
the city, and what can best be done.
The committees on July 4th de-
iciency subscription, on the con-
struction of the bath house., on the
construction of the sheds for mar
ket day and on the county fair, all
reported progress, the county fair
officials reporting according to state
ments made in the last issue, and
further that officers would have an
other conference at Hanley Falls
last Monday. The bath house COM
mittee reported that the building
would be ready for bathers this
week, and that the expense of the
structure would be very nearly met
by subscriptions and by donations.
During the evening Messrs.

BASE PRESENTS.
Redwood Gave Renville II, and Lost the
Game by a Score of 9 to +.


We don't know why, but it must
have been because we loved them
that we allowed Renville to walk off
with game of ball at the Lakeview
Park last Saturday afternoon.
That was the only excuse we
have to offer. Francois, after pitch
ing three innings OF great ball,
found his arm played out, and des-
pite the calls of the crowd for Ern-
est Mead, who was out in right
field, he called Knox to the box
Four bases on balls, two wild pitch
es, aud a single hit pushed three
men across the plate, and Knox
never went back to the box. Again
there were calls for Ernest Mead,
but again the crowd was turned
down, and Tut. Thompson went
into the box. An error of third, a
steal and a single, gave Renville an
other score in the fifth, and three
bases on balls, and two singles in
the sixth gave them four more.
Then the call of the crowd was lis
tened to and Mead held the aggre-
cation down to one score in the last
three innings. 1t was all Christ
mas present, pure and simple, and
the crowd certainly had a right to
kick, because they didn't want to
give presents on their own diamond.
Redwood never scored until the
sixth inning, sharp fielding keeping
runners on bases. In that inning
Theiring got his base on an error
of Woods, Bradley hit safe and Knox
got his base on tumble of Barnes.
A single by Baldwin closed the inn
ing with three runs to Redwood s
credit. In the seventh Thompson
swiped the ball for two sacks, and
came home on couple of Renville's
errors. In the eighth the last two
scores were secured on another err
ror of Woods, another two-bagger
by Thompson aud single by Brad
lev. The score:

In its denunciation of the fusionists for raising
the issue Of the protection Of the home from

this metropolis which being slandered by
those who dared 10 complain that the streets
were not clean or that the police administration
was corrupt:
1t is the same old story now. The evils which

That is what Tammany's protests Of outraged

lest the children grow familiar with evil. How

Tammany again seeks opportunity to renew
those lessons.
