BASE BALL.

One Of the largest crowds Of the sea
son attended the game at Enterprise
Park last Sunday, between the Coving
ton Srs. and the Solos of New Orleans
reputed to be one of the best amateur
clubs in the citv.
Just before the game opened the
Solos had their pictures taken by MIR.
Sanford, Of the Covington Photo Studio
A companion picture, taken after the
game was over, would have proved In.
teresting, 10 showing the short and
the long OF it, especially the long.
The game was highly interesting from
start to finish, owing to the many fine
plays made, especially by the CoviQs-
tons, who fully demonstrated the fsct
that opposing teams who expect an
easy victory and . 'soft suap," are
liable to meet with surprise ard disap-
pointment.
The game resulted IN q well-earned
victory for the Covingtons, by a score
of l3 to 2.
The score by innings was as followa:
Solos $500. :. 100 OOO1 90 g
COvinet0n -. % 90 2 0 3 8 5 x-l3

base hits and two singlss, and scored
four. times. One double play was made
by Doty to Spies, Of Covington.
The batteries were: Claverie and
Stern, for Covington, and Jonas aud
kildu for the solos.
Up to the fourth inning the score was
in favor Of the Solos by to 0. From
that time to the close tie Covingto1's
had things all their own way. In the
eighth inning they scored five, aud the
way the players came in resembled y
sprinting race, with priz, for the man
In the lead. The crowd was an enthusi-
astic one, and cheered every fine play
made by the home team, which kept
them cheering almost continuously.

How People are Robbed.

How many hundreds of thousands
of people in the United States have
beer taken in and cone for during the
year Just ended, we shall never know.
In closing out an estate in Philaoel-
pl1ia the other day, 400 shares of stock
ir certain com panies which had a mar
kat value of over 5000 at 'jhe height
of .he boom, brought 5hirty-tive
cents. Over 700 shares in another
company at one time quoted as worth
So, 100, brought 81. 10. What shall be
said Of financial conditions that enable
these pretentious organizations to i'm
pose upon the creduility OF hundreds
of thousands of penple? And would
such publicity" as Republican physi-
clans prescribe have robbed them OF
their meritorious fasciaations? Hard
ly. What is needed il, that all swim
dlers, whether they deal in high
finance or the ordinary plain flam
game, shall be punish I'd. All should
be treated alike. The three card
monte thief, who robs his victim by
dece ption, is not Dit worse than
men Of the Pierpont Morgan stripe,
who rob people by palr1ing off Oh them
worthless stock in all sorts OF wild cat
corporations, like tie busted steel
com Dine, for instance.

Regarding Suffrage Law.

The secretary Of state has received
from Indiana several requests for in
formation regarding the suffrage re-
ouirements in the state. The trend
of the letters indicates that the sub
ject is being used as queries Tor
school and college debates. Among
the points upon which information is
desired are: What per cent. Of the
taxes are paid by the negro popula-
tion; has there been any increase IN
the appropriation for educational pur-
poses since the adoption Of the present
suffrage laws. The secretary of state
gave to some Of the applicants such
information as could be obtained
without any great amount Of research,
while others were referred to Senator
Tillnan'S speech which was delivered
about two years ago in the senate.

Wanted Ten Million.

The New York American says Cash
ier Flandreau, of the New Rochelle
City Bank, was astonished Wednesday
morning when a man walked up to
the window and threw down a check
for ten million dollars.
"Give me the money quickly" said
be, / have no time to wait. I'm on
my way to the North Pole, and my
automobile is waiting for ne outside. "
Flandreau thought the man was
joking, but when be refused to bulge
until he got the money, the cashier
sent for the police. At the police sta
tion the man said be vas Edward
Havey. He declared his automobile
was so hot it could burn it's way
through tne ice and reaco the Pole,
but if there was too much delay it
would cool off, and be would have to
postpone the expedition. He offered
to take all the police with him if they
would let him out. Havey's wife ap-
peared ard said that be was crazy.

OnnoSed the War.

In defense of himself and his sub
ordinates, Admiral Cervera has made
public the correspondence with the
Spanish government relative to the
naval features of tf Spanish-Ameri-
can war, in which re pointed out be-
fore the beginni, of the war the
utter hopelessnes Of Spain holding
it's own against the United, States,
and showed that, inevitably in event
of war, the American navy would
wipe out the Spanish fleet. He ad-
vised against war and urged that
Cuba be relinquished, if necessary, to
avert war with the United! States.
His advice was not needed. It was
only when the verge Of war had been
reached that the Spanish government
indicated that it realized that Cuba
was not worth the sacrifice, 1t was
too late, but had the Spanish govern
ment listened to the common sense
advice Of such men as Admiral Ger
vera instead of the fatuous promptings
uf men like Cardinal HerrereS y Espi-
Dosa, it could have evaded ;he issue
of war and have served its honor far
better than it did by engaging in a
conflict that exposed its helolessness,
and which led to it's utter humiliation.

Goes Over Falls.

At Niagara Falls a rowboat con-
tanning a man who was waving his
arms wildly was carried down the
river and over the Horseshoe Falls
Thursday afternoon. The little craft
and it's solitary occupant were noticed
first at some distance above the cata-
ract. The man was gestlculatlng
frantically all the time, but persons
who assembled along the shore and
ran toward the falls were as helpless
as the doomed passenger. With
bated breath they watched as the
boat tipped on the brink and disap-
peared in the waters below. The
man went to his death crying his de-
spair. No one has reported a missing
boat, and the name Of the man has
nDt heen learned.

TO AVOID FREEZING.
Two Men in Boat Boxed Each
Other All Night,

The New York World says William
.Donaly, proprietor Of a Shorefront
hotel at Lindenhurst, L. l., and John
Laplig, of New York, left Lindenhurst
before sunrise on Saturday for days
cunning on the Great South Bay.
Early in the forenoon they started for
lone, soow squall havini; set in, with
every Indication that 5he day was
going t. be rough.
They had gone but 1ort distance
when the mast Of the little boat
snapped, with great difficulty they
rescued the sail and reshipped the
mast, bat the gale soon whipped the
sail to ribbons and they were forced
to scud east before the breeze. At
r;ightfall the ice closet in around
them and prevented tie boat from
drifting further. The mercury drop
ped below the zero marx. The men
had not the slightest shelter, and for
twelve hours they had to jump up
and down and spar with each other to
keep from freezing.
At daytreak Sunday Donaly hoist
ed a flag distress on an oar. The
signal was recognized by Capt. Philip
Sammis, who, with his brother An
drew, went to the rescue. When
they reached the men Laplig was
nearly dead, but Doualy was not
much worse for the exposure.
Chester O. Ketcham, Of Babylon,
and Capt. "Taid" Sammis were shoot
ing on the bay on Saturday in their
yacht Virginia. In trying to make
harbor they found their sheet rope
frozen and the blocks choked with ice.
They abandoned the boat and with
difficulty got ashore in a small boat.
The ice cut the Virginia's cable and
she drifted high up on the ice and, 1t
is feared, will be total wreck.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
New Treatment that Will Make Cot
ton Absolutely Waterproof.

The Saturday Evening Post says the
recent discovery of a method by whic;
any ordinary cotton cloth can be made
as waterproof as sheet tin is regarded
as a marked achievement in chemistry
Subject to the new treatment the
flimsiest of fabrics becomes so imperyi,
Gus to water that if buldged or folded
in the shape of a bowl or pocket it will
hold water for days without letting 4
drop escape through its meshes.
The significant process in the new
Treatment is liberation of a gas, such
as carbonic dioxide, simultaneously
with the precipitation '.pon the fabri,
of various chemical reagents.
The result is that this gas, in fine
ly divided state, merges with the inso-
.luble com pound employed and is held
fixed in this chemical coating in such
a way that water, even under pressure.
cannot pass through it.
In the tests cotton cloth was passed
through two baths The first of these
was prepared by adding to 100 parts Of
water 10 parts Of stearic acid, one and
one-half parts of sodium hydrate and
two parts of sodium bicarbonate. This
mixture was then boiled until it was
in complete solution. Then 500 parts
OF water were added and acetic acid
comprised the second bath.
LIN the reactions caused b. the meet
ing Of the ingredients of the two. baths
two insoluble compounds, aluminium
stearate and aluminium hydrate, were
precipitated upon the fabric, while at
the same time carbonic dioxide was
liberated and was found to be distri-
buted and held by the chemical coat
ing that, as stated, water could not
pass through the fabric.
It is predicted that the new process,
which is protected by.patent, will work
a revolution in the smanufacture OF
water-wroof garments, inasmuch as it
will enable the people engaged in this
industry to turn out much greater
variety of mackintoshes and other rain
garments and at a lower cost than is
possible in the making of waterproof
at present.

A SCHEME TO ROB CHINESE
Recent Attempt at Blackmail OF
Celestials in Charleston Be
lieved TO be Cause OF
Lunn's Dismissal.

James A. Lunn, one Cf the inspec.
tors Of the United States customs de-
partment, has been dismissed from
office by the Treasury Department
1t is understood that The dismissa
grew out Of the recent attempt BY
certain parties to levy b!ackmail upon
j number of Cinnamon ia this city.
1t is said that there is at least one
other Federal employee who was con.
aected with the scheme that was
practiced upon the celeStialS, and that
ae will probably also lose his job.
1t will be recalled that some weeks
ago several Cinnamon appealed tc
Magistrate Orlando Levy for plotec-
tion, believing that they were being
forced to pay money illegally to Ger
tain agents, on the threat that they
would be deported to China, If the
money was not paid. 1t was shown
that about fifteen Cinnamon had paid
sums, varying from SO 70 so each.
for certain papers, which they had
been told were necessary for them, if
they would continue their residence
in this country. The charges for the
papers ran up to 500, in some cases,
but it is not known whether any Of
the Cinnamon were muleted to this
extent. Magistrate Levy pronounced
the matter Swindle and told the
Cinnamon not to pay any money to
the agents. He explained to them
that the papers which had been given
to them we're not authorized by the
government, and that there was no
intention Of the government to deport
them, if they could not produce the
papers. The magistrate further ad-
viSed them to take the matter up with
Mr.. Rennick, the representative Of
the com missioner Of immigration, as
he was powerless to give them any
relief.
It appears that the Chinamen did
carry their troubles to Mr.. Rennick,
and according to the understanding

or deny, be reported the matter to
the department at Washington, with
the result that a secret service man
was sent to Charleston to investigate
the fraud. His report was filed last
week in Washington, and on Christ
mas Eve a telegram was received by
Collector W. D. Crum, inStructing him
to take up the badge of office from
Lunn. This was followed oy an otfi-
cial communication through the mail
on Saturday afternoon, dismissing
Lunn from office.
Deputy Collector Withers stated
Tuesday that the department at
Washington bad acted on it's own in
formation throughout the entire mat
ter. He said that the badge was first
taken up and he presumed that an
had been given to Lunn
to explain his connection with the
roatter with which bis. name was
mention ed, and for reasons which the
departn ,ent considered sufficient, the
later communication was received at
the Gu ;tom house, dis missing him
from the service. .-Charl eston Post.

The Kayto Farm.

The Columbia State says: The
Orangeburg farmer-told of in The
State-who got check for sl7, ,o40.o OF
for his cotton crop and has more
than sufficient supplies to run him
next wear, all home raised. is as well
fixed as a man can reasonably wish to
be. The high price Of cotton is of
little advantage to the farmer who
buys his supplies in town and gives a
lien on his crop in advance, but it is a
fine thing for the fellow who first
raises his own supplies and plants cot
ton as money crop. Be the price
high or low, he is on the safe side of
the market. and stands to win.

Free from SentimentaIity.

Stories il betrothed lovers marry
ing when one Of them was going tc
die Immediately have always gooc
deal of pa, hos and romance in them:
but nothing like the practical pru-
dence and wisdom Of the one in which
a Hoboker girl recently moved as the
principal figure. She went to the
Philippines to marry her soldier boy
lover, found him pretty nearly dead
from consumption, took the first
steamer back, and on her way found
another wooer, whom she eSpoused
as soon as they came ashore. Start
ing of with such fund Of good sense
and freedom from sentimental notions,
they ought to live happily ever af-
ter" according to the formula OF story
books, which ofttimes take things for
granted with more liberality than the
general run of experience justi6es.

A Big Save.

The State says: 1T seems that
every variety of graft has prospered in
St. Louis. The city has been paying
$3.50, 600 a year to a political contrac.
tor for the removal and reduction OF
garbage and now, through the annul-
ment Of the contract by proceedings
growing out of the celebrated bribery
charges, it is found that the work can
be done for nothing. \ company that
has been doing the work in Denver
for several years proposes to take over
the job in st. Louis on the same terms.
\ reduction of $4,000 in city's
yearly expenses is no small item, and
Circuit Attorney Folks vigorous IN
vestigations have done that much at
least -
