CRACK C0L0RED TEAM.
PADUCAH SAID TO HAVE THE
BEST IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Paducah is said to have the crack
colored baseball team Of the United
States. Nothing has yet defeated it.
Yesterday it began series Of three
games with an Evansville club, shut
ting out the visitors by score Of Z to
20. A fairly large crowd, among
which were many white people, for
whom half the grandstand was re.
served, enjoyed the sport, ana say that
the ball playing is fast and scientific.
The feature is the playing Of Larry
Rogers, who works at one Of the South
Side mills, on third base. He is said
to play better bali with one hand than
many Of the third basemen can play
with both. The lineup of the Padu-
cab team is: Catcher, Richard Flour
noy pitcher, Wallace Bryant; first
base. Phil Williams; second base,
George Head; third base, Larry Rog-
ers short stop, Louis Thomas; left
field, Willie Bedford; right field,
Howard Powell; center field, Jim
Flournoy. This is Ben Boyd's team,
and most of the members hold posi-
lions around town in various estab-
lishments and have only Sunday on
which to practice.

PEABODY FUND.

The trustees of the Peabody edu-
cational fund met in New York this
week, and the fact is scarcely con-
cealed that there is a scheme afoot to
been giving to the various cotton
States for educational purposes. The
money is to be returned for the pur-
pose Of putting both capital and in
terest into a big normal college in
some southern city. The proposed
change in the plan OF the trustees
rests in its last analysis upon the de-
sire Of Atlanta to gobble the whole
thing-in a desire to boom that par
ticular town.
One of the trustees of the fund, ex-
Secretary Of the Interior Hoke
Smith, and the acting agent of the
fund, DR.. Glenn. reside in Atlanta,
and they propose to put the entire
fund amounting to several millions
into a college that Will boom their
own town. IL Georgia were cen
traIly located in the cotton belt this
plan would not be SO Objectionable,
but that State is in the northeast
corner of the belt, and is not at all
handy to the majority Of the students
it would be built for.
It is doubtful indeed if one school,
however large, would do as much eff
fective work as the present plan of
aiding and promoting education in
all the States accomplishes. It is very
doubtful, but if the plan is to be
changed, the trustees should not
snap up in secret session the offer of a
single town. Let all the States in
volved have a chance to present
their claims and offers. Let the bust
ness be conducted openly instead of
secretly. AS things now stand At
lanta is the only Southern town rep
resented on the board of Peabody
trustees, and it doubtless hopes to
gObble the fund without notice to
other cities.

NOT A SERMON.
Just a Few Truths Drawn From
Observation and Printed For
What Good They May
Do ARGUS Readers.

If any man among you seem to be
religious, and bridleth not his own
tongue, but deceiveth his own heart,
this mans religion is vain.
Pure religion and indebted before
God and the Father is this: To visit
the fatherless and widows in their
afhictiOn and keep himself unsp0tted
from the world.-St. James.
The purpose here is not to preach
from any standpoint respecting any
one religion or any one God that may
now be the fashion; but merely in
the outset to say what was said by
''James, q servant of Cod" the one
God known to all of us in these
days.
st. James gave words to the word
less cry of the world. Tt is the cry
OF truth, justice, mercy, love, hope,
Righteousness, sweetness, light, aud
the life of mankind. It is the soul
cry of every true man and every true
woman and the dream of every sim
less little child dwelling upon the
earth. It is the call to all which is
good in this earthly life, and the
splendid promise Of things that may
be in the beyond. It is the resound-
ing cry of hope in the world as hope
pertains to the Unseen and the NOR
tally unseeable. It is the promise of
the mountain, the wilderness, the
desert; it is as the staff of the glorious
old Aaron striking the rock that the
waters might ripple out upon the
sand and run their way to trimming
river, laughing through it's valley to
the trimming sea. 1t is the cry of
every noble impulse in every human
soul. He who needs it not, he who
denies it, must face the Recovered
wall of cold, bleak, icy negation of
the worlds rulership and the worlds
redemption! -
Indeed, the mournfulest figure in
the worlds multitude is that man or
that woman who wears the black
badge of hate, envy, coyetousness,
uncharitableness, and who joins a
sheer to smileIess resentment against
the light of life that radiates from
love and laughter.
It is we'll that we consider these
truths as we trend. our way among
our fellows towards the cleaning
even though our days be yet young
and their closing, apparently, re-
mote.
By humility, ge~ntleness, truth and
0ve2shall one find JOY in this world
and peace in the eternal afterWhile.
The chubby little hand of a baby
cooling upon its mothers breast baf-
fes all hate and rebukes all sin. The
prattle of a little child is humanity's
precious prayer to the Master; its
laughter is chorus to the songs of
angels; its trust is the fullfilment of
the blessedest promise, the answer to
the souls supplicatiOn to the Infinite.
Its touch upon the strings oflife makes
melody of immeasureable sweetness,
drowning with divine tenderness
every articulate cry of w~ickedness
that ever arose to defy truth. Vice,
afrigted and ashamed, falls back
from the wondrous burst of child
hoods happy laughter, and the
world takes heart of that blessed
grace! Joy bells ring when children
sing.
Yes, my beloved, you art blessed
if a little child shall lead you!
