4 "SOCIAL AFTERNOON. :

The departure from the usual routine
of the work of the reading club of the
Church of the Messiah on Tuesday af-
tfernoou proved novel and agreeable
feature of the program. The meet.
ing was held with Mrs. Blanchard at
her home on School street. 1t had
been announced that it was to be sim
ply a social afternoon. Games and
topics for conversation were pleas
antly introduced and Mrs. X. L.
Cleaves and Mrs. Alfred Temple gave
the ladies an unexpected pleasure.
Mrs. Temple sang very sweetly two
Scotch songs, accompanied by Mrs.
Cleaves whose piano solo, double
number, "Good Night" and ga Love
Song" by Nevin, were charmingly
rendered Lest, perhaps, there should
be an entire lack of literary SAVIOR it
was suggested that the good old fash
Toned "spell down. should be under
taken. This met with approval and
Mrs, r. X. Peck and Mrs. Eli Good
enough chose sides amid some merri.
ment, but the leaders nobly contested
for honors. The result was not Off
cially announced, for when one word
brought down five truce was agreed
upon and the contestants retired to
refresh themselves with the dainties
provided by their hostess. The de.
lightful informality of the occasion
made it one to be very pleasantly re-
membered.

MASS MEETING POSTPONED
Irrigation or Something Interfered
 With It.

The mass meeting called to hear the report of the active members or the Taxpayers Union was not held yester- day but was put eff until heXt Satur- day. A simple announcement to this effect written with a red lead pencil on a sheet of white paper was pinned to the door of the O'Neill hall and had tho effect oc detcrring all who saw t from entering It would have deterr- ed 10000 tax payers if that many had gone up the stairway and come within view of the flaring announcement.
 Just how many were actually re- strained from entering the hall and listening to the report of the commit tee is perhaps one of the things that will not be made known in this world The Statisticians are tumble to agree among themselves. The low est estimate of the number who climb ed the stairway is 6. On the other hand the @ arc members of the union who In their enthusia sm are willing to make oath that there were Il who manifested some curiosity not to say interest in the report of the committee. It is probable that the real and actual number of those who might have been
 
 a golden mean between these estimates The Statistician who figEreu out that there were six is not familiar with the manner of determining the size of great popular assemblages and ne might very easily have overlooked some who appeared in the vicinity of -he ONeill building.
 The estimator who thought he counted eleven probably erred on the other side by crLntIng more than on g the members of the union who went to the doorway several times to see if anybody had arrived yet. A conser- vative way to get at the actual num- Der of those who were willing to hear the report of the committee would be Ito add the estimates together and di vide the sum by two. IL would thus be shown that the mass meeting if it had been permitted to go on would have embraced eight and one-half members.
 l \ member of the union was asked by a reporter for The Republican if the curtailment of the popular out pouring was likely to be regarded by lthe members of the committee as an indication of a lack of interest in tho WOrK O5 the union. He replied tG1' the committee would attach TO such ! significance to the failure of the pop ulace to outpour In the opinion of the committee the taxpayers of tn ? county the farmers the merchants, i the carpenters, the blacksmiths and everybody were too busily engaged in getting ready to irrigate to respond to the advertisements and postal cards of the committee. He thought that when another drouth should come and the people wanted somebody to cuss at, they would turn out and listen 10 the story of the corruption of those in high places. The committeeman added that few people understand what q hard time the true reformer has keep ing things moving in seasons of pros- Iperity.

THE DoUGHERTY, TRADE.
Collins Says He Made the Deal on His
Own Responsibility.

The owner of the Boston American team
in ChcaF, last night made the following
statement:
The trade Of Dougherty for Unglaub
was made to help the Boston club. and for
no other reason In O'Neil, 1 believe we
have a great outtielder, and In Unglaub an
infielder of ability whom we need. The
trade was made only after consultation
with Manager James Collins. and on his
advice. We doing all that we can to
win another pennant for Boston, and l be-
lieve that the fans of Boston will see Col
Inns judgment indicated
I'VE were in great need of a utility in
fielder. With ONeil in the outf1eld. 1 be-
lieve that the club has been strengthened
there, and at the same time we are now
protected against accident to our infield'
Manager James Collins spoke of the
trade as follows: The trade of Doughcrty
for Unglaub was made with my sanction.
and l think the deal will prove to the best
interest of the Boston club. l have al
ways done the best I could for Boston, and
1 have never injured our club to benefit
any other one. TshaNe always given BoS-
ton the best l could. according to my
knowledge of the game, and l have done
so in this instance"
When questioned about the Boston-New
York trade whereby Dougherty goes to
New York, he said:
ever. Collins has been endeavoring to get
rid of Dougherty for some time, Dough-
erty is not hitting up to his last years form
and is an unreliable fielder. being very
poor on ground balls, and only fair in his
Judgment of fly ball.
when in ST. Louis last week Collins
made an effort to trade Dougherty for
Burkett. McAleer. however. would not
listen to any such trade. saying that he
considered Burkett much the better man.
Griffith learned at st. Louis that Collins
was anxious to make a trade and conse-
auently came over to Chicago Friday and
the deal was all completed before I saw
either man.
Jimmy Collins has the reputation of be-
ing a clever manager, and 1t remains to be
seen whether or not he has made mistake
l for one do not think he has. Collins says
that O'Neil is a far better fielder than
Dougherty and he thinks he will be just
as good hitter. In Unglaub he gets a
star inhelder who can play any position
With ONeil as utility man. the Boston
Club was crippled. as ONeil could not play
any infeld position. He showed that in
the game in which he made six errors at
short when subbing for Parent.
Il can only say that 1 had nothing to do
with the trade, that 1t was merely a deal
between two club managers. 1t was not
done to strengthen New York at the ex-
penSe Of Boston"

st. Stephens Defeated Mt. Vernon's in
Ons-Sided Came

In a. one-sided game last Saturday after
noon on the Mt. Pleasant grounds, the st.
Stephens won an easy victory from the
boys that hail from the Mt. Vernon Church
by the score of Is to 6
1t was a question in the minds of the
fans for long time whether or no they
were going to try to equal the record of
twenty-five runs in one game. which is
the record for this year
ST. Stephens have at last found their bat
ting eye and at their present gait may sur
prise some of the teams that have been
thinking that they would have an easy
thing of it when they met In combat royal.
Their hits are not of the long variety. but

makes them safe to first base.
The Mt. Vernon team when it turned out
on the diamond had hardly familiar face
on 1t and it was understood that the game
would be protested by the st. Stephens
on account of the players with the green
socks not being eligible.
The new team as 1t is should make a
good one. With a little practice and team
work a great improvement could be made
on their playing, and in Saturdays game

TIGERS DOWNED YALE.
Princeton Won Championship Before a
Throng Of 10000 People.

Princeton's great battle hymn. "Old
Nassau won the third and deciding game
from Yales ball players at the American
League Park. New York, Saturday. by a
score of 10 to 4. and thereby won the inter-
collegiate championship. Sung by 5000
persons. the vast male chorus softened
throughout by the strains of many femi-
nine voices, caused Yale to forget at criti-
cal moments what base ball really looked
like and what the task was that they had
set out to accomplish.
AS a consequence Yale fooled and FUN
bled, until at the end Princeton had won.
Peculiar effect the song seemed to have
BY its aid Princeton won the foot ball
championship last fall; by It's aid Princeton
defeated Yale at base ball year ago, and
Saturday 1t so ratified the Eli ball players
that they made all sorts of blunders when
ever an easy ball got within reach
A great crowd of 10000 persons was pres.
