The Base Ball Tournament.
LEWISTON VOLUNTEERS STRENGTHENED
THEIR TEAM AND SCOOPED
FIRST MONEY.

The base ball tournament of July 4th
at the fair grounds, opened with the
drawing of lots to determine which
teams should play together. By the lots
the Volunteers of Lewiston were to meet
Harrison in the first game, while Norway
had Oxford as opponents in the second.
Lewiston VS.. Harrison. This game
was one-sided from the beginning, Har-
rison being easily outclassed by the
Volunteers. Tainter of Dixfield started
in to pitch for Harrison but retired at the
end of the 5th inning with the score II to
o against Harrison. Tainter did not pitch
in his usual form and was given poor
support. Foster, who succeeded him
did better, allowing only scores in the
last 4 innings. Sutten, who pitched for
the Volunteers, had fine control through
out the game. This with the support he
received, enabled the Volunteers to win
by the large score of l3 to /. The score
by innings was as follows:
9 ) 5 9-Total.
volunteers, -----.s : 5-iSS
The second game was between Ok
ford and Norway, called at l O'Clock and
was very evenly contested while it last
ed. Carrigan and Stone, the opposing
pitchers, were both hit quite freely but
good fielding by their teammates kept
the score down. Everything went along
smoothly until the end of the fifth inning
when the Oxfords took exception to one
of the umpire's decisions and rather
than allow the decision to stand, forfeit
ed the game to Norway. The score at
the end of the fifth inning was . to 2 in
favor of Norway.
The last game was between the Volun-
teers and Norway. This proved to be
the best game of the day. Sutten again
went into the box for the Volunteers
and Us in the first game had perfect con-
troll, not giving a base on balls in the Is
innings in which he pitched. Kelley,
who pitched for Norway, was not hit as
hard as Sutten, but was wild at times,
two at least of the Volunteers scores
being gifts. After giving two bases on
balls he allowed them to score on two
wild pitches. The wildness of the
pitcher gave Vandette, the catcher, a
chance to show what he could do in that
line and he certainly put up a fine ex-
hibition, making several nice stops and
always throwing well to the bases. The
score by innings was as follows:

BANKS ON THE INCREASE.
FtAAn eial Concerns Are Aultfplyinx
ThrOu&hOr the Country and
Bus In eS0 In-creadn4.

Some recently published statistics
attest the surprising growth of ma
tional banks and savings banks in the
United States. In 1864 there were
fewer than 600 national banking ass O.
Citations and their aggregate capital
was considerably less than 800, 900 900
At the end of 1865 the aggregate re-
sources OF the national banks, which
then numbered 1873, amounted to less
than s1.36O,Ooo,OOO says Harper's
Weekly.
Now let us look at the returns made
to the comptroller Of the currency on
October l, 1902. At that date the ma
3onal banks numbered 46O1; their
total capital stock was over $714OOO 900
and their aggregate circulat tion $780,
100000. Their aggregate resources
amounted to 100000. The face
value of the United States bonds now
held by national banks is about S457.-
100000 and the individual deposits ex-
ceed s3,20000O 900. The amount of
money paid into the federal treasury
since 1863 by the national banks as
taxes on circulation, capital, deposits
surplus, etc, reaches $17O, 900, 900. We
add that the number of shareholders
In the national banks 10 33O124. to
which total the New England states
and middle states, including under the
last-named term New York. Penneyl-
vanla, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and the District of Columbia contrib
uted more than 226. 900 individuals
obviously the national banks are or
gained and supported by the relative
ly rich. Turning to the savings banks
which are intended for the relatively
poor, we observe that the agpregate
deposits in these institutions increased |
IN the nve years preceding October l. |
1902, from 81, $40 900 900 to 50 Gao. 600 OOo |
IN the same period the number Of de- |
posltors rose from 5000. 600 to {. 400 COO /
ms Is an astonishing exhibit whom
we consider that in many states the
iavlngs Of the poor are invested in tho
stock OF buildings associations. I.
should also be noted that the federal
government through the money or
ders issued by it's postal department
IN 1902 did a banking business of nm

atty for catching or killing them be-
tween certain periods. Of the year.
The bill in full is as follows:
section !. Be it enacted by the SEN
ate and house of representa- tives of the
commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, in
general assembly met, and it is hereby
enacted by the authority of the same,
that from and after the passage of this
act it shall be unlawful to catch, take
or kill any bullfrogs only from the
first day of July to the first day of No
vember
Sec. 2. Any person or persons
offending against the provisions OF this
act shall be liable to fine of $25 for
and every offense, to be sued for
and recovered before any alderman or
justice of the peace"
The passage of this bill will serious
ly interfere with an industry which
has sprung up recently in various ru-
raj districts for raising and killing bull
frogs for the market.

DINNER IN EGG SHELL.
Adopted by . New York Women
Real Country Scene

Within an egg which lowered to the
ceiling of Sherry's ballroom, New York
and reached nearly to the outer walls.
Mrs. Arthur p. Proal the other after
noon entertained 35 of her women
friends at luncheon. Outside the shell
was a farm where live chickens, ducks
and geese made a roundelay, where
rabbits hoped, and the original spring
lamb bleated as though in pastures
green. Pigs and lambs and guinea
pigs roamed at will about the fore
ground. and occasionally a creature
went UP the incline and viewed the
company which had assent bled within
the monstrous shell.
Mrs. Proal had intended the function
as farewell to city life, for many Of
those who were her guests shortly will
go to their country homes.
Everywhere in the great ballroom
was the country. The walls of gilt had
disappeared and the one or two mir
rors which remained unobscured
served as vistas. Around the outer
walls of the apartment were scenes
representing fields and pastures. The
guests saw a farmhand clad in blue
overalls and a Jumper hurry across
the scene, followed by flock of geese
