IL. Il.
CUMBERLAND VS. FRosTBURG.
Thursday, 9TH inst, the Metropolitans
opened the new grounds in Cumberland,
and the occasion was success tinan-
cially, though artistically the game was
their very best; in fact the roofing was
the greatest feature of the game, and
the popular city slogan was
Back to the mines,
You dirty slaCk-diggers,
Back to the minesu'
We got back all right and brought the
largest end of the percentage with us.
The following is the score by innings:
. 3 1 6 : s 0
Frostburg: 0 0 | 0 5 . 0 OIL
Cumberland 3 0 2 3 O-10
w. g. Comfy, umpire, was a little
rusty on rules, though his honesty was
never questioned. His task was hard
one and at times it looked as if it would
be impossible to play the game through.
NOTES.
The Cumberland management will
have to make some arrangement to keep
the crowd back from the diamond" or
it will be out of the question for visiting
teams to get anything like fair show.
HIGHLANDERs VS.. FRosTBURG.
Saturday, May 7, the NETS played
the Highlanders of Piedmont at Green .

Flanagan pitched an excellent game
and the boys gave him fine support
The treatment accorded visiting teams
by the management of Highland Park
is gilt-edged enough to be appreciated
and commended by everyone, and the
arrangements for keeping the crowd
back are first class i'll every particular.

STATEMENT REGARDING
BRITISH ARMY REFORM

London, July 14,-war secy. Arnold
Forster made his long promised state
ment as TO his proposed reform Of the
army when the house OF commons went
into committee this afternoon on the
vote for the war office. The secretary
said he did not propose to touch the
militia. as public opinion was not ripe
therefor neither would the royal artil-
lery be decreased, nor the number OF
cavalry regiments be reduced. He pre-
ferred 10 reduce the regular infantry
forces by IL battallons leaving 40 or 80
battallons for home service. After pro-
viding for India and the colonies. the
army would be divided into two parts,
a certain number OF battalians would
be kept at home. These would be re-
duced TO 800 men. 400 Of whom would be
enlisted for two years service, and
would afterward enter the reserve for
six years. These would be in reality
territorial battalions. and the object OF
the short service system would be to
build up the reserve.
The volunteer establishment would
be reduced to 100000 men and much
larger grants would be made so as 10
make the volunteers an effective force
From $1,000 to 1900 regular troops
would be kept at Aldershot, ready TO
take the field as a fighting force. Pro-
vision would be made for a permanent
garrison Of q 500 men In South Africa.
1t appears that MIR. Arnold-Forster s
proposal would result IN a decrease of
1891 men, leaving a total force Of 227-
600 and u decrease IN expenditure OF
49, 100000
The war secretary concluded with
aging that the army was passing
through period of great danger Suf-
hclent remedy for the existing evils
must be found and while he was UNI
able to provide any marked immediate
reduction IN the expenditures he hoped
that his scheme would enable his sue
cessors TO effect progressive economy,
The British army, as at present con-
stituted, was one Of the costliest ma
chimes ever devised, and quite unit Ia
supply the peculiar needs OF the empire
In view Of the progress made In sub
marine boats he hoped to make a con-
siderable reduction in the expenditure
OF the aquatic establishment. lie dis
carded the CONSUMPTION proposal as II
would cost an additional $4,000 0OQ
yearly for the same number Of troops as
now forthcoming

A misunderstanding OF the divorce
laws Of this state may cause Neal Ras-

lated by an attorney interested In the
matter are that in 1901 Mrs Rasmus-
sen brought suit for divorce against her
husband, and the case was tried before
a referee, who recommended that the
divorce be granted, II appears that
neither party ever paid the referees
fees, so that his report nor the decree
Of divorce have ever been filed.
Laborlng under the impression that
he had been divorced from his wife, Il
