 The Taft base ball team added ono more to their long string of victories by defeating the Yale scrub team in a very listlessly played game at the fair grounds yesterday. Coach Welton of the Taft team did the catching for the visitors and his throwing to bases was one of the principal features. Sanford, as usual pitched an excellent game, while the batting honors went to Mo Gowan, who got a single, double and a triple, making the longest hit on the grounds this year. Following is the score: Taft .......... 2o2 O o 2 5 +-14 Yale .. o o o 3 o o o l.

There was large audience present and one might say 1t was one of the most ex- acting audiences so far as criticisms are concerned that any amateurs ever had to face, but there was not one word spoken that was not word of praise. The audience came to the op- era house to see TIPS" performed in a most thorough manner and their every wish was granted. All the scenery used was constructed by John Cara bine and it certainly reflects great credit upon him. The following is the cast of characters: Courtney Corliss, Frederick A.

Dear Sir:
l am in receipt of your letter ad-
visi ug me that the dividend on my
policy, which took in March, 1898,
and which falls due on the 9th OF
next month, is $545 rs. Realizing
that the only guarantee that l have
held ia reference to this dividend il
that The Mutual Life agreed to pay
me my full share of their earnings
during the ten years that l have
been a me mber, it is very gratifying
to note that this dividend is some
what in excess of 40 com pound in
terest on the amount invested. Con
sidering the fact that The Mutual
Life has carried a risk of $4,000 on
nv life between the ages OF 90 anc
6S. l have no hesitation in stating
that this appears to be as good an
investment as any have ever made
Would it not be good plan fol
you to send your representative tt
this section in order that he NIGH
reap the benefit of this evidence tina
The Mutual Life more than meet
expectations. l beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
Geo. r. Mapp, Sr.

The latest to register in the list Of
towards in Virginia is A. q. heer
mans, an ex- Confederate soldier OF the
county of Montgomery. He is a mem
Der of the Legislature and for year
or two has been trying to fatten al
the Republican pie counter. hls
latest deliverance is an attack upon
ex.Confederate leaders, who declare
their belief in the right of the South
to secede in 1861.
Mr.. Heermans wasa Southern SOL
der and helped to fight the battles
of the South. To- day, standing thirty
eight years on this side of that con
flict he declares he is glad the Soutf
failed. and he enters his protes'
against anyone making any state
ment to the contrary. With the ter
rors of the war through which III
passed and the still greater evils o
the reconstruction period still fresf
in his memory, he is glad we failed
He is not only glad himself, but call
upon Generals Fits Lee, Gordon an(
others in the same craven spirit tt
say that they are glad also, and To-
no better reason than that I'VE ma!
get into the good graces of those wh'
whipped us and permitted us to COM
back again into the Union" ina
the Southern people fought for
principle, and while accepting
the result in good faith ar
not called upon by any decen
man North to stultify themselve
as he has done, seems to have neve
occurred to him. The survivors o
the army of the Confederacy cal
only regard his utterances with con
tempt and hope that there are no
many more like him.

The people OF the Eastern Shore
generally know what a good thing
perhaps, to strengthen that convic
ton, but as true praise is never out
of place and always helpful to those
engaged in any good work, the fol-
lowing extract from an article in a
late issue of the Fruit Trade Journal
is published not only for the sncour-
agement of the members of the or
ganization but to the end that other
farmers, who to this time have with
held their support, may see where
duty and their own interests should
lead them:
On the southern peninsula Of the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, self preser-
walton forced the farmers and truck
ers to form an organic alton for the
distribution of their completed prod
ucts. l have watched carefully the
organization from it's birth. What il
has been to the agriculturists OF that
section, can be appreciated by pc
rusal of the article in the Baltimore
Sum of December 8. Organized

January, 1900. Its first years work
was one of trial. It's work was ell.
Enthusiastically endorsed the second
wear. A business of $750,OO0 was
done. The third year $1 ,OOO,OOC
worth of business was done with the
ost gratifying satisfaction to all
members of the organization. In
stead of the condition of local mar
ket for Eastern Shore potatoes, and
bought at a price which furnishes
middlemen a handsome profit, they
now are sending their products
through well-organized department
in touch with MARKET conditions. al

ton for the products they control

that the truck growers of Noffol
