SNOW HILL 5 HARD LUCK
Poor Batting Causes Club to
Meet Three Defeats.

The strong baseball team of Milford
Del. played here Monday, aud defeat
ed the local team by the score of Z to 2.
The game was called at the end of the
seventh inning on account of rain. The
visitors have a good aggregation of play
ers, and created favorable impression
by their fast snappy work. The feature
OF the visitors playing was the work of
Kahn at short and at bat. For Snow
Hill. Schraeder. Durnev and Short played
a star game, while Elliot made a fine
running catch in left field
For the second time this season Snow
Hill met defeat by the Pocomoke City
team on the grounds of the latter
Wednesday afternoon. AS in the form
er game errors contributed largely to
the defeat of the Snow Hill team. Baker
for Pocomoke pitched a strong game. al

rubber for Snow Hill aud pitched good
game, but received poor support. The
work of Durney at second, and Schrader
at short was gilt-edged. and elected
frequent applause from the spectators.

Short did not play at Pocomoke City,
owing to injuries he received in form

Durney. the new infielder, plays a
great game at second base. and with
Shraeder at short, they make strong
combination. Their work at Pocomoke
City was easily the fielding feature of
the game
Rogers continues to do good work be-

with the patrons of the game.
Elliott is very fast OH the bases. and

STATE PRISON ON FIRE.
Great Excitement Prevailed Among

was considerable excitement in the
big prison early in the morning when
it was found that the shop of the

sent in and all the engines ia the city

man had gathered the skavings and
placed them near the boiler, intending
to burn them. He had gone to another
part Of the building to clean up, and
on returning found the shavings on
fire. He turned in an alarm, but be-
fore the firemen could get stream on
the fire had gained great Roadway
The shop, which was an L-shaped
building 300 feet long and rs feet wide
was totally destroyed. This building
contained the machinery and boilers
The operating room was badly dam
aged by water.
The prisoners behaved themselves
very WELL although greatly excited
They were not allowed to leave their
cells. The only thing that prevented
the entire destruction of the prison
was a lack of wind.

shaking Hands.

The custom of shaking hands origi-
mated in the ancient practice Of adver-
saries grasping the weapon hand dur
ing a truce as a precaution against
treachery. When two friends met they
extended their weapon hands to each
other as sign that there was no need
to stand on the defensive; and hand
shake was but the natural outcome of
. a hearty and vigorous grasp.
Shaking hands appears to have be-
come usual in the middle ages. Grasp
ing hands made its appearance in early
times as a legal act symbolic OF the
parties Joining in compact, peace or
friendship. This is well seen I'm mar
riage, where the hand grasp was part
of the ancient Hindoo ceremony, as
was the "dextrarum junctio" of Rome,
which has passed into the Christian
rite. We see it also used as mere salu-
tation, as where the tiresome acquaint-
ance met by Horace in his stroll along
the Via Sacra seized his hand.

salutation throughout Christendom.

of Detroit.
Washington, March 29.-The presi.
dent has commuted to term Of i'm.
prisonment, to expire March 20, the
sentence OF Fred f. Harvey, who
pleaded guilty in Detroit to embezzling
funds of the Preston National bank
and on Jan. IS, 1901, was sentenced to
Imprisonment for five years in the De.
troit house of correction. The prison.
err made voluntary confession Of his
wrongdoing and subsequently pleaded
guilty, but more than sixteen months
elapsed between his arrest and sen.
tence.
The district attorney and Judge
Rand recommended said Communication
to imprisonment for three years. He
has now been confined in prison for
something more than three years un.
der the sentence, and the attorney.
general believed the prisoner should
be given some credit for the long pc
Rod which elapsed between the arrest
and his sentence.

II love the beautiful" said NJ. de
Longpre yesterday, land have no place
In my work for the disagreeable or the
ugly. With the impressionist school
have little sympathy. Ihave Bat be
fore Whistler's works for hours trying
to find out what 1t was that some
people admired In them and had to
come to the conclusion that either 1
was o fool or those who claim TO ad-
mire him and his school belong TO that
category. These impressionists seem
to delight in making erything that
is beautiful appear ugly. They paint
a lovely woman and they produce an
ugly one"
AS no frosts ever come to Hollywood
M. de Longpre's subjects are Away S
ready TO pose for him. He aims to re-
produce perfectly the color OF his
flowers and he places birds and bees in
many groups to aid the deception.
Those who appreciate color will be
charmed by "Study of Jack Roses and
White Clematis." "The Most Beauti-
full Flowers Of Summer" took a medal
at the Paris exposition and is the
picture that is valued at So 600.
"Gounod s Song OF Spring" and MAR
guerite" both suggest youth, joy and
beauty.
While M. de Longpre's house is
palatial and large in appearance it has
only three very large rooms on the first
floor. These rooms are finished in
polished birch and have polished oak
floors without rugs.

Passenger Said to Have De-

Is Found to Be Innocent

NEW YORK, March ga story
of an alleged plot to assassinate Pres
ident Roosevelt, which upon investi-
CATION proved to be entirely without
foundation, was made public to-day
by Police Commissioner Adoo.
Several days ago the Commissioner
received letter from a man in Italy
saying that an Italian was about to
come to this country for the express
purpose of assassinating the Presi-
dent. The writer gave a detailed de-
scription of the alleged anarchist, the
steamer on which he would sail and
full details OF the alleged plot.
When the steamer locked an inspec-
tor was on hand with a large squad
of detectives and the suspect was
found and detained. Investigation
however, showed that the case was
purely one of spite on the part Of the
man who wrote the letter. 1t was
found that the detained man was not
an anarchist and that he had perfect
right to enter the United States. He
was allowed to land. The object of
the letter it was found, was to have
the man deported.

boarded the Italian battleship Rey
Umberto, named after her dead hus-
band, and went to meet Emperor Will

to Gaeta on board the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern.
The two ships thus met out at sea.
The scene was picturesque, as many
flags fluttered gayly in the air, the
crews cheered and the bands played
the national anthems of Italy and Ger
many. Emperor William Immediately
boarded the Rey Umberto and, after
half an hours chat. the Queen accom-
panied him on board the HohenZollern,
where they had lunch.
The Queen was heard to say as she
left the Hohenzollern for the Rey
Umberto:
Now, 1 have determined to visit
Germany" to which Emperor William
replied:
