 FOR LEAD
Brooklyn Still Ahead-S St Joseph's Win First Game
 Hills Try Four Pitchers
 in One Inning and Won.

The warm weather kept the crowds down at the games of the City Anna teur league and the Greater Water bury league yesterday morning and yesterday afternoon. However some excellent contests were witnessed and the fight for the leadership has now become an interesting one. A scare itY os pitchers this season seems to be the principal drawback to some of the teams, but before the series are over some of the present tailenders may be climbing to the top of the ladder. The games resulted as follows.
 Brooklyns Win First.
 The first game at o'clock saw the Drooklyns, the champions of last year and the year before, face the strong Merrimacs, who are also making bid for the leadership. The Brooklyns were out to win and by good batting and fast fielding soon had the Merr1- macs on the run. The latter tried hard to overcome the lead of the Brooklyns in the last few innings, but Conner ford was pitching good ball and held the out casters well in hand. The score: RH.E.

 Ten Inning Game.
 In the most surprising game yet played in the league the Washington Hill team defeated the North Ends in a ten inning contest at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon. It was surprising from the fact that four different piechers were put in in one inning on the Washington Hill side. The score was tied two to two in the sixth in- ming and three men were on bases for the North Ends when a line ball hit the Hill pitcher on the pitching arm md although he threw his man out at third he was put off the running as he was unable to locate the plate after the accident. After he had forced in a run, Jack Egan was called into the box. He pitched but few balls when he forced in a run. Then Eddie Car mody was called on and he did better md finished out the game Eve runs had come in that inning and with this lead the Hills made a desperate strug- gle and won out in the tenth. The score: Washington Hill 8, North Ends T.

 Niagara Moran, he of the sandy col ored locks, was the puzzler that both cred the Pastimes yesterday after noon and landed the St Joseph's a winner after a long and bitter strug. gle. Four home runs were made dur ing the game, three by the St Joseph's The latter team gave Moran good sup port while the team behind Donahue did not do as well. 1t was one of the hardest fought games seen this sea, son as the Pastimes fought every inch of the way.

period of it's life, may suggest the out
line of the story. The history of Po-
land as a nation is story of great
heroes and of interested plotters, Of
noble arrayed against peasant, Of for
eign interference and foreign spolia-
ton, of a disrupted, distressed Land
albeit fairly rich, fertile one. Back
In the middle of the seventeenth CEN
fury the territory extended from the
Baltic to the Carpathian mountains,
had an area of almost 100000 square
miles, about seven times it's extent to-
day 1t was a diversified land of good
soil, fine timber, wide pasturage, and
of no small mineral wealth, and it's
people, especially along in the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, enjoyed a.
high measure of prosperity. The no
bles lived in luxury, music and learn
ing were made much of, the state was
3 dominant power.
About the middle of the sixteenth
century the government took a step
leading to disaffection among a large
body of the people, inaugurated a
change from the hereditary monarchy
to an elective crown. To settle the
strife arising from this radical move,
the aggrieved party would call upon
an outside nation to assist in the en-
suing war, and the ally Sc ON failed
to demand a share of the spoils when
victory came the right way.
Another weakness leading to Po-
lands downfall was the lack of a
middle class, "that bulwark of a ma
tion;" ruling noble and peasant serf
forming the two Polish classes, the
trading Jews standing apart by them
selves. Little by little the noble en-
croached upon the peasants few
rights, and pitiable indeed became the
condition of this large body of peo-
pie. Naturally there was not much
in their situation to foster patriotism
for their native land. The lord had
power Of life and death over his serf:
If master killed a serf, a fine freed
him. Each noble was master in his
own territory, and in time became
wholly self-absorbed, he, too, lacking
in national patriotism. The clergy,
also, had no small part in Poland's
downfall, being intolerant, given to

OF dedication, which took place on
Sunday, August "a, 1873, under circum-
stances of striking interest and SOL
emnity. Moderate computation fixes
the assemblage on that occasion at co.
900, and the scene of professional dig
nifty and brilliant service still lives
wildly in local remembrance.
Passing over many intermediate
trials We are brought to the time of
the elevation of DR.. Logue to tho
cardinalate and primacy, when the
work of perfecting the cathedral was
pushed forward with unrestrained
vigor.
The synod hall adjoining the edifice

standing within the canopied inches
over the principal doorway, are
tribute to his personal interest. Eut
his eminence did much more. He
spent months in the cathedrals of
Italy Illuminating over the necessities
of this new Irish temple, anxious ever
to attain for it a standard of &C.
clesiastical cognateness and classic
perfection.
Soon upon the breezy eminence at
Armagh the labors of artist and arti-
san transformed the Gas YETI unified
shell of DR.. Crolly's creation with
thousand priceless pearls. Giant blocks
of Bath stone were changed to grace
full groinings; the treasures of marble
from every land adorned the floors and
sanctuary; elegant affairs of Gothic pat
tern, and white as driven snow, arose
to relieve the cathedral shadows.
Such are few of the features of this
new cathedral as we find them to-day.
On every side the eye rests upon OBJ
jects of beauty or historic suggestion,
modern magnificence, and ancient
legend in singular unity. The environ
ment of the cathedral teens with his
toric suggestion. Here, for example,
close by the cathedral is the old well
where St. Patrick christened his first
convert to Christianity; yonder Is all
that is left of listers Royal Palace of
Emania; within the woods close by are
the ruins of the Franciscan monastery
and st. Brigid's holy well; and there
under the high altar, over which will
soon be breathed the solemn words Of
conservation. lie the remains OF Brian
Boru.

Attacked by a Horned Owl.

At Egg Harbor, II. j., farmer was
aroused by an unusual commotion OF
the chickens at his place. Partially dress
ing himself, he lighted lantern, and,
getting his shotgun, he hurried to the
barn, where he expected to find chicken
thieves helping themselves. AS he neared
the barn the noise continued, and, not
wishing to enter for fear of an attack,
he called out for the thieves to come out.
When the same noise continued, with no
response, the farmer entered the bar.
He had hardly stepped inside when he
was attacked by large horned boot owl,
which buried its talons deep into his neck
and shoulders and lacerated his hands.
The attack was 80 sudden and unex-
pected that he was being worsted, and
called for help. His son heard his cries,
went to his assistance, ard succeeded
In killing the owl with club. The bird
measured four feet from tip to tip, and
was the largest horned owl ever killed in
this vicinity.

really crowned car of Moscow, but
soon the Poles were forced 70 give up
their claims TO Russian territory; a
territory between which and that OF
Poland there was ever such dan
gerously indefinite line, making fruit
full cause for the domestic feud OF
the two Slavonic nations" In 1772
Russia entered into agreement with
Prussia and Austria to begin the dis

SLAMS at once began hostile invasion
of the country. Steadily they pushed
on their boundary, by 1898 having
made much advance.
The Polish people, as is well known.
did not submit tamely to the stretch
ing of the paw of the Great Bear
nor to the claims of greedy Prussia.
A national spirit showed itself now,
a patriotism of decided strength.

recognized merit, led his countrymen
against the Prussians in possession of
Warsaw, and forced the invaders to

(Koskiuszko is a son Of Poland
whose name ever will be popular
one in America When we were ut
war with England the Polish patriot
came to our assistance, entering our
army as volunteer, and displaying
distinguished bravery at the battles
of Saratoga and Yellowsprings. Gen.
Washington made him a brigadier.
and he was appoIAted governor of
West Point. AS brigadier general he
served his own country nobly, but
Russian influence forced him into ex-
lie. On his return to Poland, he zeal
ously and untiringly labored to free
his nation from the threatening ruin,
but was forced to give up all hope.)
A figure pitiably contrasting with
the patriot, Koskiuszko, is that of
Stanislaus, the puppet king in whose
reign ended Poland's career as an in
dependent nation. He was a cultured,
accomplished man, but lacking in
force and spirit. The proud Polish
nobility, however, did not submit
