Hablando con sus amigos, sc ha ex-
presado asf el conde de Romanones.
NO Sc me ocultaba que la publica-
ci6n de la carta dirigida a los tres ex-
presidentes de las Camaras, hab1a de
producer impression entre nuestroS ami
gos, porque en- ella Sc abordaba va el
problema de la jefatura del partido.
"Todos eStan convencidos de la ne
cesidad de reSo.vcr tan grave question;
yo tengo cartaS, ..lguna de correligiona-
rio muy ilustre, en- las cualeS Sc dice
que, para seguir como estamoS, Ser1a
preferible la muerte del mismo partido.
Alguien habfa de toruar la iniciativa
70 no dude en- hacerlo; por4ue nadie
podra suponer en- mi ambiciones in
compatibles con mi situacion polftica
"Estando yo tan convencido de esta
necesidad ipor que no realice antes este
acto? A raiz de la muerte de nueStro
inolvidable jefe, el sef1or Ssgasta, nos
encontrabamos cerca de unas eleceio-
nes generates. Provocar en- aquellos
momentos la question de jefatura, era
ocasionado a quebrantos para la gran
familia liberal. Convenia todo tran
ce mantener la mas estrecha unidad, y
el resultado obtenido en- aquellas cleo
clones dio la razon a los que hab1amoS
opinado de esa manera. Digo ESQ, CO.

Sefialar contradiciones en- mi conducta. {.
."Pasado ell primer periodic de Cortes.
pocos serAn-si es que hay alguno en-
nuestra agrupaci6n-que no este con-
forne con la necesidad de elegir jefe;
porque no haciendo1o, sc nos acusara 4
de impotencia, porque fortalecendo
la unidad del partido, esta irradiara
mayor energla y prestigio ante cual-
quier eventualidad polftica.
"Partiendc de esta base, y sin tener
prejuicio alguno sobre SD rcsultado, me
decidf escribir Ia carta, objeto de tan

cribirian sin reparo los senadoreS di

Pues, amigo m1o compafiero m5rtir:
que esa orden tiene un nt1mero fatdl,
crealo. No soy supersticioso, pero 81
E1mero 2o me causa espsnto y me po7-
ne los pelos de punta, que va es mucho

La Junta Superior de Sandal, aun
cuando Sc la reconozca en- ell fondo un
buen deseo, pretende poner en- vigor
una disposition impracticable alta
mente molestosa.
iMire usted, que pretender que cada
pedazo de tasajo traiga, sujeto la par

vaca 6 novilla. -. Esto tiene, por 10
menos dos docenas de sostenidos cua-

Vamos, que ESQ no puede ser, y hay
cosas que no deben saiir la luz.

Es necesario que, al publican alguna

THE LADIES PLAY BALL.
Interesting Game by society Leaders of
Paw Paw.

The much heralded game of ball be-
tween two ladies' mines for the benefit OF
the Baptist church, was played last Sat.
urday afternoon, big crowd being in at.
tendance.
The Hornets won the game, although
the Bundle Bees played an absolutely
errorless game-if you don't believe it,
look at the official score below.
Following are some of the features OF
the game:
Bundle Bees: Mrs. G. h. Thompson S
long drive to center, Mrs. G. +. Cookbook s
six hits-and she would have made more
il she had been more times at bat, Mrs.
j. A. O'Leary's fine work in the box,
Mrs. III A. Sherman's nervy game behind
the bat, Mrs. w G. Wilcey's pretty throw
ing to bases, Mrs M. D. Buskirk's "iolly-
ing" of the whole team and Mrs. Glare
Harrison's scoop of hot grounder-with
her foot.
Hornets Mrs. w. II. Mason's mag
nificent fielding game, Mrs. ID. Ander-
sons five put outs at first, Miss
Matte Cooley's five runs in five times at
bat, Mrs. f. n. Wakeman's game winning
curves, Mrs. NJ. l.. Decker's sure holding
of third, Mrs. Chas. Summy's line throw
ing to second, Miss Charles base run
ning-she running not only for herself
but for half the members of her nine
after they became tired-and Miss Hew-
sons clever work in the field.
If there is any dispute over any of
these points we appeal TO Nj. l.. Decker
and Frank Wakeman as experts and all
around base ball cranks.
1t was funny to see Messrs. Briggs and
O'Leary come onto the diamond armed
with shotguns as guardians and assist
ants of the fair mpires, Mesdames G.. f..
Chappell and q. w. Longwell, ST., who
were also armed with shining revolvers
to enforce their DEGREES on the players.
Another feature was the mysterious
Red Cross" hospital tent, in front of
which were seated several gentlemen at
PENDANTS of the Red Cross society, with
the emblem on their white coats, a couple
Of trained nurses in costume, and the
hospital corps of physicians, Drs. Max
well, Thompson and Roach, while a pair
of crutches hung from the tent pole
large bottles of liniment were arrayed
about the entrance and stretcher
stood ominously beside the tent. Things
began to look serious for the ladies, but
before the game began the players were
invited to inspect the hospital and found
the big bottles contained nothing worse
than cold lemonade and grape juice
and the hospital was popular refresh
ment parlor.
The ladies played even with the Red
Cross contingent at the close of the
game. The members of the losing nine
fell fiat to the ground where they were
standing on the diamond, and the boys
were compelled to carry them in on the
stretcher, amid the laughter of the spec
tators.

Returning to America in 1888 with his
wife and younger children, he joined his
four elder children, who had preceded him
to this country. Shortly after his arrival
here he bought the farm upon which he
has resided up to the time OF his death.
He dearly loved his home and family,
to which had been added two little grand
children. He was member Of the
church of England and good American
citizen, and was held in high esteem by
his neighbors His sudden death from
heart failure was a shock to the entire
community, for his energy and hearth
ness up to the day of his death
had seemed to indicate many years
of strength. A large congregation
gathered at his funeral last Sunday
afternoon and he was buried with
Masonic ceremonies in the cemetery
near his home. The funeral address was
by Mrs. Anna Barton.
