National League Clubs Standing.

The Senators closed their four days stay
in st. Louis yesterday and the Browns
rounded out quartet of victories, the
score being - to o. AS predicted in The
Star Manager Donovan waited too long
with Townsend and the Delaware Peach
was delicious pie for the brown legs, six
teen safe bingles being made off his de-
livery. Townsend pitched a splendid game
last Saturday and defeated Chicago, but
a four days rest made him forget all
about his speed and curves. He should
have been worked again not later than
Tuesday. The Brownies started off in the
first inning with good, hard cracks and
they kept it up for the rest of the game.
Glade, who was on the rubber for the st.
Louis aggregation, was a most tantalfzing
puzzle to the Senatorial hitters, but two
safe drives. one by Cassidy and the other
by Mccormick, being made Off his delivery
In the full nine innings. But one man got
as far as third base, Manager Donovan be-
ing the lucky individual. and he persisted
at the plate in trying to score on Moran's
out to Heidrick. Glade's error was the only
one for the Browns as his team mates gave
him perfect support and killed off several
apparent safe drives, Padden being the
chief offender in this respect.
A deplorable accident occurred in the
eighth inning when Shortstop Bobby Wal
lace was so badly injured that he will
probably be out of the game for several
weeks Wallace had worked around to
third base. when Hill sent out long fly to
Donovan in right. AS soon as the ball
struck Donovan's hands Wallace started
for home. Donovan made a beautiful throw
to Drill az the plate, the ball and Wallace
getting there together. Drill realized that
he was in for good bump from Wallace,
squared himself for the shock and the
little shortstop bounded away from the
stocky Georgetown boy as though he had
hit a stone wall. He rolled dozen feet
back Of the plate and was helped to his
feet and led toward the bench, where he
tainted from the shock. 1t was found that
Wallace had a cartilage torn from one OF
his lower ribs, while his breast was pain
fully bruised. physician examined Wal
lace at the club house and said 1t would be
several weeks before he will be fit to re-
sumo work. The knocking out of Wallace
will be big handicap to st. Louis as he
is one of the cleverest fielders and hardest
hitters in the country and great standby
for the Browns. .------.-.-.
After the game had been practically won
by the Browns Hedrick retired and Glea-
son went into center. After Wallace was
hurt Gleason went to short and Petty into
the center garden. Gleason is a fine fielder,
but very weak with the stick.
Following is the score:

c. P. MODERATOR.
Judge Settle Chosen TO Preside
Over Assembly.
Winning Nominee Regarded as
Favoring Union With the
Northern Presbyterians.

Dallas, Texas, May 10 Little
more than the work preliminary TO
its regular business was accom-
plished at the first session here Of
the seventy-ffth annual General
Assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church. Delegates have
been arriving all day and to NOR
rows session will see it in working
form.
During the forenoon praise SER
vice and the delivery of the annual
sermon by the Rev. r. Nj. Tinnon,
D. D., of Denver, Col, consumed
the time. The sermon was one sug-
gestive of and favoring to the pro.
posed union of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church and Presby-
terian Church Of the United States
of America.
Dir, Tinnon continued TO preside
as moderator during nearly all the
afternoon meeting, the time being
consumed with the election of his
successor, Judge Warner E. Settle.
of Frankfort, Ky, Justice of the
Court of Appeals of that State. His
only opponent was Judge F. H..
Prendergast, of Marshall, Texas.
The contest between those two can
didates was considered distinctly
one between the elements of the
church favoring urion with the
Presbyterian Church of the United
States of America and those oppos-
it, Judge Settle, the winning nom
lnee, being regarded as favoring
union. He was elected by vote of
l5S to 90.
Attendant upon the convention
are large number of members of
the church here to watch the out
come as to the union question.
Many delegates to the assembly
are with the anti-unlon element
and are active IN their labors to de.
feat the union proposition. The
doctrine of fatalism as touched up
on by the mother church is contra.
~ to their views and as are also
the views upon the education
of ministers OF that organization.

THE PEANUT CROWDED OUT
High Price of Cotton Means That Lit
tie Land Is Being Devoted to
Popular Legume.

We are told that the great doc
trine of the solidarity of mankind
is being enforced as never before
by the discoveries Of modern sci
ence. Medicine, economies, biol
Ogy, physics in their latest devel-
OpmentS, teach MS with hitherto
unapprOached force that all men
and all things are so bound to-
gether that what affects one af-
fects all. IT is an impressive
truth, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. Consider the case of man,
the cotton crop and the peanut.
Within the last few years the con-
sumption Of the peanut has vastly
increased. This interest ting le-
gume has fought it's way over
prejudice and contempt TO a place
of unchallenged prominence in
popular esteem. Sneers have not
prevailed against it. Contumelv
an the presence of the unparal-
leled popularity of the peanut
hides at last its diminished front.
Last year We broke the wrinkled
shells of 5,00O,OOO bushels of pin
dars, and ate some billions Of
arachian nuts" If essentially the
choice of a plebeian taste, if the
rich and fastidious prefer a dain.
tier delicacy, the peanut is with
out a rival in the favor of the null.
titude.
But now observe. The plant
arachis hypogaea demands an
early spring, a hot and moist sum-
mer and sandy, friable loan.
But these are conditions required
by another plant of great useful
ness and valuc-namely, cotton.
With this staple at normal
value, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia and Tennessee have found
it advantageous to devote a part
of their acreage to the edible at the
expense of the sartOrial crop. But
lately cotton has been going up,
and the south is naturally plant
ing it to the neglect of other crops;
unhappily, almost to the exclu-
sion of the peanut. Thus we see
that such an unimportant fact as
the value per bale of cotton vitality
affects human happiness in re-
mote particular.

Weird Sounds.

Weird sounds of atmospheric
disturbanCes-unlike the ordi.
nary Geographic and inductive
disturbanees-have been noticed
by Mr.. j. E. Taylor, a British cleo.
trician, during experiments in
wireless telegraphy. They are
more frequent in summer than in
winter, most in evidence for a few
hours about sunset, and often pre-
eede a storm or gale. They resem-
BILE the flowing and bubbling of
water, though there are also crack
lings and screenings like rocket
discharges. The latter are attrib,
uted to the electric currents set
up by the fall of meteOrs, and the
othernoisesare supposed to be con,
nected with the ionizatien of the
air, disturbances being caused
when ionization is dissipated by
an electric field.
