sion of this kind, especially, the attend ance was unusually large and there was a general holiday over all Englanla. Pe- trax was crowded with hosts of people come to take passage in the Petrel line to the moon, while many others were there to see the club depart
 At last all preparations were complete. An ether dispatch announced that the Martians were distant 100000 miles from the moon, and 1t was necessary that the Englanians begin their trip in order not to keep them waiting. To the thunder ous boom of chemical guns and mighty shout from assembled thousands, the En- glanian fleet rose in air and after exc cutting a graceful maneuyer headed di- rectly for the moon, which now hung luminous in the evening sky They werc to arrive there the next day in time for beginning the game in the afternoon. The Notex conveying the Englanian base ball club, took the lead, gaily be- decked with festoons or wonderful flow CTS that never withered. Reaching the confines of the earths atmosphere the percussion guns were fired and the en- tire fleet shot into space.
 A great host of Englanians and Mar tians were assembled on the moon next day to witness the game. The huge dia- mond, several miles wide, was laid off on the side of the lunar world which was the subject of so much speculation among astronomers of the nineteenth century These men spent many fruit less years in trying to determine what conditions of life were to be found on that side of the dead world which they were never permitted to see. A broad plain stretched out for many miles on this side of the moon and. although the atmosphere was very cold, it was much more temperate here than on the side

from the Englanians. Whizl the third ball came toward the batter like comet Grasping his bat, Tonox swung It above his head There was a terrific crash, and the ball shot upward Into space. Owing to its great size the spectators could easily follow the hurtling sphere with their chrystal eyes. On and on tt went with undimlnished velocity The despairing Englanians saw the ball was knocked Into space and there was no hope for them. The game was lost.
 But. no, the Englanian left helded had an idea Rushing to the bleaehers he leased into an airship and started Tn pursuit. He had presence of mind enough to take the umpire along. The ball sped on into space. There was no attraction of gravity and unless cap tured it would never return. The lett fielder immediately began firing pereus- sion guns against the moon, and the im- petus thus given caused the ship to gain on the ball rapidly. Nearer and nearer he drew to the sphere until, at the end of a. thousand-mile chase, 1t was almost in reach Sweeping down upon the ball, the player reached far out and seized 1t with an exultant shout. The umpire de- clared that the batter on the moon was out. as the ball had never touched the ground and when the jubilant player re- turned to the fans who were impatiently waiting he was received with joy. The game was finished and neither side had scored. When batter knocked the ball into space, the game was officially de- c1ared ended
 crowdlng into the airships, the Mart fans and Englanians returned to earth where a great feast was prepared In the otala of Petrax. Both sides were over 1oyed that the question of superiority still remained to be settled.

The great plaza of Petrax was the scene of much activity ono summer day In the year 1O,Ooo.00o A. D. Although 1t was the mild season. tho weather was in reality far colder than the severest winter weather ever experienced back in the distant ages of the nineteenth cen tury, which had been forgotten for sev- eral million years. The cause of the ex- eitement among the Englenlans was a ball game, which was to be played the next day against the crack aggregation from Mars.
 The vast crowd assembled on the plaza had come to bid farewell to the En- glanian team, now preparing to depart in airships for the obverse side of the moon. where the great game was to be played
 As the hour for leaving drew near the excitement visibly increased and great shouts rose from thousands of enthusi- astie fans. An entire fleet of airships was required to transport the rooters to the moon, as in those days people went to ball game by millions. On an occa-

him as one of the men in that body who never lost his poise.
 Predictions made by the old heads of the democratic party in Cincinnati that day have been fulfilled. George Gray has gone far. Perhaps he may go fur ther yet. After a career whicn many of his contemporaries may well envy, he finds himself in the dignifed retirement of the circuit bench of the United States looked up to as the first citizen of his native state, and hailed by many men of his party as it's hope of salvation.
 That Judge Gray is regarded in various quarters as one of the most available men in the democratic party for the presidency there can be no doubt.
 Judge Gray Is sixty-three years old, but he does not look it. He has happy philosophic disposition, that is above small worries. When he is seventy he will look ten years younger, just as now he appears to be ffty-three when he is ten milestones beyond. He is of com manding figure. He has head that is round and symetrical, as if of Grecian model His nature beams out of his kindly gray eyes and shows in a winning sympathetic smile. He listens to the troubles of his friends or his dependents with patience, and Is always ready to lend a helping hand. He is a man slow to anger. but when he Is once aroused by a story of oppression his eyes blaze with indignation and his voice thunders rebuke which those who hear long re- member.
 When not riding the circuit" Judge Gray lives quietly in a large, old-fashion- ed house in Market street. near Four teenth street, in Wilmington, Del, where he has made his home for many years. His home life is singularly happy and tranquil. He has been twIce married. Having been born in the old town of New Castle, on the Delaware river, when he came to take a wife he looked for her in the home of his boyhood. He married Miss Harriet Black, daughter of Dr. J. J. Black of New Castle. His second wife was Mrs. Gray's sister, Miss Mar garet J. Black. He has five children Andrew C., now engaged inathe practice of law in Wilmington; Annie B., Emily S., Charles B.. and George Jr.
 Judge Gray's public career, in a nation- al sense. began when he went to the senate as the successor of Thomas F. Bayard, MT Bayard having entered the cabinet of President Cleveland in 1885.
 Judge Gray, however, did not reach the very forefront of the senate until the Harrison administration, when the dem ocrats had become the minority in the senate. He made a national reputation in three days, and his intimate friends are fond of telling of it now.
 It was during the discussion of the Lodge Force bill, which the administra- tion was determined should pass. The redemption of the south to the republi- can party was the dream of President Harrison, who felt that the votes of the negroes should be counted, and who was going to have them counted if the infiu- ence of the United States deputy mar shals, backed by troops. if necessary. could do 1t.
 The bill passed the house and reached the senate. Republicans had clear ma jority and everybody thought the meas

ure would be put through. The republi- cans adopted the policy of not being drawn Into any controversy. They were simply going to let the democrats talk themselves out and then put the bill on its final passage. Most of the republi- cans absented themselves from the floor during the perfunctory debate, leaving two or three on guard at their desks
 Time dragged along and the democrat ic oratory was apparently exhausted. The day came to put the bill on its final passage. There was a ringing of bells all through the senate wing of the capi- tai for the republican majority to as- semble and pass the bill. Republicans filed in to vote Suddenly, at the last moment, the commanding figure of Sem ator Gray arose. Shaking his finger in the direction of the chair, he thundered In tones that rang through every recess of the chamber:
 MT. President, there are many req sons why this bill should not pass Some of them have been stated, some of them have not been stated. I purpose stating a few of them now"
 Judge Gray then began a speech which lasted three days. The republican ma- jor'ity disappeared once more into the cloak rooms. Senator Hoar remained to
 
 subject Senator Hoar was observed to lay aside his pen and begin to caress his hands. Then he began to fidget in his seat.
 It was the beginning of the end for the pet measure of the administration. Sem atof German was able to gain time and marshal his forces for that magnificent fight which won him so much renown and split the republican party asunder. Sem ators Quay and Jones joined forces with the democrats against the bill; the sil- yer question was taken up, and the Force bill was shelved for all time.
 In debate Senator Gray showed him. self without a peer. Of handsome pres ence much eloquence, perfect good na- ture, and at the same time great serious ness, he came to be looked upon as one of the great figures on the democratic side Above all else, he always held the respect of his opponents.

teenth century, and was not to be bluffed
 When the ninth inning was reached dead silence fell upon the mighty assem- bly,. It began to look as if a tie would have to be played off, and the Hngian- ians feared that the doughty Martians would finish winners. No base stealing was allowed because the pitcher could deliver the ball in only one direction, but when there was a bunt the game became lively.
 The Englanians had try at the bat but there was nothing doing. They could not connect with the ball and went to the field with solmen faces. The Mar tians came up confident, but without smiles. The world had forgotten the art millions of years ago, although pleasure had not been neglected. Two men sawed the air to no avail and the spirits of the Englanians rose. The next moment, with blanehed faces, they saw the re- doubtabie Tonox seize his metallic will low and come to the plate with look of determination If any man could bat out a victory for the Martians, he was the person to do the trick. One ball whizzed bv to sink into the catcher with thud. Another, and a sigh of relief went up
