CAL VASBiN
May Pitch Game To-Morrow-Heatl,
Ex-Wheeling Catcher Here.

This afternoon against Frostburg,
| Tom Vasbinder will do the pitching
and Heath Will catch him. To-mor-
row Cal VasDinder viii likely twirl.
although it is Blumins's turn. This
IS caused by the numerous fans who
desire to see the new man perform.
Heath, the ex-Wheeling catcher, re-
ported yesterday. and Manager Slack
is in a Quandary as to whom to keep,
him or Whorton. He has decided that
the men will be given equal chances
TO make their showing, and the better
will, of course, be kept.
And still Manager Brown. of the
Morgantown team, shows a streak.
He will not give the local manage
ment any dates, no matter how hard
they pray for them. Brown undenia-
bly, has fast bunch, and is desirous
of holding the State championship;
but his honors will be empty if he
steadfastly refuses to play on the To-
cal grounds. He's pretty foxy at that.
It's a cinch, what our own will do to
that outfit.

Through the courtesy OF Official

only the men who have participated
in five or more games. Conaway,
one of the latest acquisitions, leads
both in stick work and in the field.
Gibbs, by virtue of the thirty-one
games he has played, in reality,
leads the batters, and Bryson, hav-
ing played thirty-three games, to
Conaway's seven, and his total
chances amounting to two hundred
and ffty-three to the others seventy
eight makes him the leader in field
ing, although Conaway's work prom
ises to be equal if not superior to
either Gibbs or Bryson, when he will
have played in as many games as
they.

The Senate has been saying little to-
day butits wood pile has jumped up a
heap. a whole bunch of bills was
passed and sent to the House Pos
sibly Senator CornweI's absence will
account for the lack of contention
and quibblins sometimes indnlged in

seems to be subdued since the Par

nominee for governor is expected to
emerge from his rural retreat among
the Hampshire hills on Monday and
an effort will be made here to arouse
something iu the way OF enthusiasm.
How much the Chilton-MacCorlile
crowd will enthuse can be guessed In
advance The enthusiasm of that
crowd is in cold storage just at pres
ent. The House is now working on
House bill No, 1, on second reading.
Several slight amendments have
been made and the bill Will probably

DEATH
CLAIMS
A FAIR YOUNG vIcTiM-MRs. M.
M. FOSTER DIED IN A PHILA-
DELPHIA HOSPITAL LAST
NiGHT-VERY SAD
DEATH.

Last night at 1850 H. Glenn Elem
ing received a telegraphic message
| from NJ. NJ. Foster to the effect that
his wife, formerly Miss Nellie Wylde
Everhart, had undergone an opera
ton for peritonitis at DR.. j. Prices
hospital in Philadelphia at O'Clock
yesterday morning and, failing to
withstand the ordeal. had expired at
| 9 o'clock last night.
Miss Everhart was united in mar
riage to -Nillard Morton Foster. man
ager of the Fairmont Ice and Fuel
Company, on the evening of June Is,
last. The event was one of the So
cial affairs of the year. For the
past month she had been afflicted
with the disease which caused her de-
mise and on last Tuesday night she
was removed to the above mentioned
hospital in Philadelphia for treat
ment. AT the time of her removal
many friends and relatives had given
up all hope of her recovery and while
the word last night was not altogether
unexpected, yet it was, nevertheless,
a terrible shock.
Mrs Fosters parents were at the
farm at Pine Grove and Mr.. Foster
asked that they should not be notified
until this morning, which wish, Mr..
Fleming CONSIDERABLY concurred
with. Upon their notification the
family Immediately returned to their
residence in this city.
Mrs. Fosters remains will arrive
Sunday morning on No. s, the funeral
to be held Monday afternoon, services
conducted by Rev. J. H. Lucas, of the
NJ. P. church, in which the deceased
was member Of the choir.
She is survived by her father, Coun-
Gilman J. w. Everhart, her mother,
sister and brother, Miss Fred and
George Everhart. B. D., Joseph NJ.
and J. r. Fleming are uncIes.
Mrs. Foster was exceedingly popu-
lar with every one on account of her |
geniality and sunny disposition.
The whole community sympathizes
with Mr.y Foster in the loss of his es-,
unable companion for whom he I
showed such tender devotion. Their
married life was very brief and. with
he exception of about two weeks
While on their wedding tour, Mrs. Fos-
er had been i'll since the wedding
lay.
Only those who have lost a COM
,anion can sympathize in full sense
With Mr.. Foster in his very sad be-
eavement.

DIR. BROWN FIELD
is STockHoLDER IN TWO BIG
e sANATORlUMS- REPORTS
SOME INTERESTING THINGS
CONCERNING THEM.

DIR. j. H. Brownfield, who has jus
returned from Columbus and Marion
Ohio, where he went in response tt
directors of the Ohio Sanatorium Com
pany, reports a most gratifying ant
interesting trip.
AS this is a young institution, only
being in operation six months, and
as there had never been a meeting OF
the stockholders, the managers were
desirous of having each of the stock
holders visit the Park View Sanato-
rum, Columbus. and the DR.. c. E.
Sawyer Sanatorium, Marion, Ohio.
The purpose was to acquaint many Of
the members of the company, who
were not well Informed as to the
workings of the institutions, and in
view of the fact, the directors sent
out call which secured the consent
of enough members on fixed date
that justified them in making trans
portation arrangements. Another de-
sire on the part of the officials was
to bring together the various mem
bers of the company, that they might
DSColiG Will cdcu oLHcT,
and by personal observation learn just
what the Ohio Sanatorium Company
represented.
Two hundred OF the stockholders
met on Wednesday in a forenoon ses-
sion at Columbus. where the Park
View Sanatorium is situated. After
looking over the building, refresh
ments We're served, the members leav-
ing on the Hooking Valley Railroad
for Marion, about one O'Clock on
special train provided for this occa-
sion. This train conveyed all that
we're present to the DR.. c. E. Sawyer
Sanatorium. where banquet was
held.
These institutions are said to be the
argest OF the kind in the world, hav-
ng capitalized stock of S450000, |
With six hundred stockholders. The
institution at the expiration of it's
irst six months paid dividend.
Two hundred patients are being |
reated at these institutions. Special |
buildings have been constructed for
he treatment OF all contagious dis
eases.
A return trip was made from Ma
ion to Columbus, many OF the
members leaving for their homes on
he outgoing trains that night
