Team Arrives


Manager Donnelly and the ball team
arrived from Bloomington this morn
ing ready for the opening game here
this afternoon. The men are sore in
spirit, but not in body, and expect to
make a good showing in the home Sc
ries. With one accord the umpires are
denounced as being unfair and preju-
diced. According to the men, the
team has been a victim of yellow UNI
piring in every game, notwithstanding
which fact a single disastrous defeat
was met, and no game was lost by
more than one score.
Manager Donnelly is outspoken in
his condemnation of Umpire Farm
ham for his assault on Gray and the
rank treatment he accorded the Rock
Island team. He stated that through
out the game Tuesday the umpire was
unable to properly discharge his du-
ties.
The trouble started when Mullaney,
of Bloomington, with the score tied
in the ninth inning and three men on
bases, clearly allowed himself to be
struck with the ball. Umpire Farm
ham allowing him his base, thus
ending the game. Rock Islands man
ager says he, Gray and others of the
Rock Island team came in to protest.
Gray, he says. did not strike Farm
ham, as alleged. merely putting his
hand on the others shoulder while
arguing with him. Gray finally left
the group and went over to the bench.
Farnham also started to leave, and
just as the Rock Island team thought
he was gone, he came running back.
Gray was walking along with bat
in his hand. Before Gray had any
idea of what was to take place Farm
ham struck him. The blow laid the
man out, and he had to be taken to
the hotel in rig.

Diamond Notes.
Manager Hayes. of Davenport, has
signed a new infielder by the name of
Champ Osteen, who is rated as a
strong player. Osteen played last sea-
son with Charlotte, \. C., in the Nir-
ginia-C Carolina league. and before the
close of the season was sold to Bir-
mingham, Ala. in the Southern league.
With the latter club Osteen played in
40 games and had batting average
of PA. He took a prominent part in
yesterdays game.
Moriarity, who formerly played
third base for Davenport, closed the
season of 'O1 with Rock Island and
was last year with Bloomington, is at
present putting up fast article for
Memphis, in the Southern league.

Davenport 8 Dubuque 5.

Davenport made it three straight
from Dubuque by winning an exciting
game after two were out in the ninth
inning. Hines tried Osteen, just from
the south, at short, and his batting
was a feature of the game, bringing
in three runs. Weisbrodt. the Daven-
port pitcher, was also in his first pro-
fessional game, but was very effec-
tive. Kinlock, Fleming and jameson
made sensational catches and the
game was the best seen on the home
grounds this year. Jones was put to
bat for Veisbrodt in the ninth and
made the single that started a bat
ting rally, Ives and Hackett following
with lucky hits and Crockett batted
i'm the winning run. The score:

DEARTH OF ORATORS
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Few Now to Be Found in Pulpit or
in the Courts Of
TaU

The death Of the Rev. DIR. Parker, who
was essentially a pulpit orator, draws at
tention to the fact that there is at pres
ent an unmistakable dearth Of orators
either IN the pulpit or on the political
platform. There is no orator in the Non
conformist churches of outstanding prom
inence now left. In the Church of Eng
land there is to-day no one whose fame
in the pulpit approaches that attained
even by Canon Liddon; and when we
come to the political platform, the lost
art of oratory Is still more observable
Lord Rosebery is unquestionably our fin
est orator in political sense to-day, but
his influence in moving audiences is in
power as water unto wine when COM
pared with the eloquence of a Gladstone
or Bright. Mr.. Chamberlain is a de-
batter rather than an orator, and Mr.. Bal
four makes no platform efforts.
On the Radical side of politics Mr.. Nor
ley's voice is certainly the richest in tone,
but he is too keenly intellectual In his ut
terances to rank high in platform favor.
Sir Henry CampbeI-Bannerm is in
speech a plain. blunt man. and nothing
more Mr.. Asquith Is keen and cold and
Sir William Harcourt's fame In his best
days only rested on his dialectic skill.
In an oratoricaI sense there are two
speakers-one dead, the other still living.
but little heard of-whose platform utter
ances specially haunt the memory. One
is the late Duke of Argyle. He was
born orator, imbued with the native fire
of the Celt, and picturesqueness of die
ton altogether delightful to the ear. The
other is Lord Ashbourne, whose voice. in
earlier days, had in 1t the sweet mellifiu-
BUSINESS of a silver bell-Pall Mall Ga
zette.

THE LOYALTY OF THE
SoUTHERNERS OF TO-DAY

1t hardly need to be said that we honor
the Confederate soldier-hOnor him both
for what he did and for what he was. We
take IL that he is, and always will be.
honored wherever men OF true worthiness
meet together. The form Of Harold was
conquered at Senlac, but his soul still
lives and conquers still in the blood Oc
his conquering race. So is 1t with the
spirit of the Confederate soldier-the val
liant spirit Of the South Yet, looking
back upon the struggle, the ex-Confeder-
ate is ready to declare that though he
gave the best four years of his life to the
cause of the Confederacy he would give
eight years now, though his hair Is white,
before he would see slavery re-estab-
lIshed or the union destroyed.
He recognizes, however, that men Drawer
or purer or nobler than the civil and mill
itary leaders OF the COnfederacy never
lived. and that it was the inscrutable wis
dom of God that their high purposes were
crossed and their brave armies were
beaten. He has, In a word, in striking a
balance. found that men both at the
North and at the South who defended
the right as God gave them TO know the
right were Americans all-whOSe names
were no more TO be hemmed in by State
lines than could their fame be circum-
scribed within the same narrow limits.
One of these men-the greatest actor in
the drama on the Northern side-was

such a man the Southern people honor

Weights Of Coins and Bills.

What is the relative weight of a one
dollar greenback and a five-dOllar gold
piece? How many one-dollar bills must
YOU take to obtain the weight of the
coin? 1t happened that this question has
lately been put in a systematic fashion
TO the students of various colleges Nine
ty-seven students OF Columbuia Untver-
sity gave answers of which the average
was 2291-more than two thousand bills to
weigh as much as the coin, A class Of
students in the University OF kansas
gave answers that averaged 2li9. The
average of the replies of 162 women stu
dents OF Smith College was los. Let the
reader stop here to make a guess-the
correct answer Is Z, The astounding lack
of the commonest observation on the
part of these students is the amazing
fact What kind of universe do they live
