More Players to Jump.

A special from York. Pa, says that the
decision of the Dauphin county court dis
solving the Injunction against Hayden and
Wiltse from playing with the York Tri-
state base ball club was received with great
JOY In that city. Bulletins were posted in
all OF the fire engine houses, cigar stores,
parDer shops, news stands and newspaper
offices.
E. w. Spangler one of the counsel for
the York Athletic Association, stated that
suit would probably be entered by the
YORK association against the Baltimore
Eastern League base BAH club to recover
damages for the loss of money incurred In
depriving the club of the services of Hay
den and Wiltse
1t Is also said that six members of the
baltimore club will jump to the Tri-state
League. Williamsport alone has ontfons
on three OF the Baltimore players.

There were many other good scores made
during the round. T. M. Sherman, Sada-
quada, did his afternoon round in 76, one
stroke above par and four strokes under
DOGGY. while Pierre A. Proal, Seabright, did
the course in IS in the morning. There were
plenty who did the rounds in the low sos,
and 1t required excellent golf to qualify in
the first set there being tie at 178 for
sixteenth place between R. H. Thomas,
Morris County; r. C. Carroll. Fairfield, and
Murray ELEPHANT, Englewood, which were
played off this morning.
Allan Lord of the Columbia Club, this city
scored 174, and up until within the last half
hour of the days play it looked as though
he would qualify in the first set, but he was
finally crowded out. The disappointment
must have been keen, as he withdrew from
the competition.
Roger S. White of New Haven made
score of 81 So, 175. but was disqualified for
feeling up his ball outside the tee disks at
the sixteenth hole on the afternoon round.

The Mobile Register printed on Septem- Der its sixty-ffth annual review of trade and commerce in its city.
 Mobiles progress" said l.. A. Town ley yesterday, .is very gratifying. It has advanced in all lines. Its foreign com merce is steadily rising. Its trade with Cuba was in the year just ended in- creased more than two million dollars. The fruit steamers brought in 100 per cent more. It is gaining in every direction in railroads, in steamship lines, in inter for shipments and exports. It hopes soon to have a channel twenty-seven feet deep with q depth on the outer bar of thirty feet.
 "Alabama's great port" added MT. Townley expects to llave 10000 popula- tion when the next census is taken, and Its gains in various directions indicates that the population claim Is well founded. Its directory for 1905 contains over twenty-five thousand names, and this number of It. self points to a present population ex- ceeding sixty thousand. The city is full of promise, and it is of course keeping one eye on an open Warrior and an open canal at the isthmus, but 1t is not waiting on things in the future. It is going right ahead year after year."

GAN OUR BOYS READ?
Remarkable Facility Acquired by Greek
 Slaves in Old Times.

From the London Post.
 Is the average Eton or Winchester boy taught to read as well as a decent Greek slave in the fourth century B. C.?
 In an ancient book which faithfully de- picts the life of that time we are told how two gentlemen met in a street at Megara The question arose as to con versation which had taken place between three of their friends some four or five years before, and one of them said that he had written it out.
 "Come up to my house." he said, "and while we rest my servant shall read us the whole conversation" They went in and lay down, the host called his "boy' and gave him the roll and the servant read 1t to their complete satisfaction.
 That slave must have been thoroughly taught the art which the Greeks assigned to a man of letters-the art of reading aloud with correct dramatic expression This was no easy matter, for on the Greek roll there were only the letters, all cap itals, no stops, accents or other marks, and no division between the words.
 Euelids slave had from a roll contain ing sixty pages of letters to reproduce continuous conversation treating with knowledge, subtlety and humor a number of hard questions of science and of morals. He had to read fuently, without slips and with the sort of expression which good actor would have put into the parts
 Could the average public school boy per form that feat even from a printed book in which the words are divided and the sentences punctuated?

Health Certificates Aoain.

The state board of health in Arkan- sas continues to issue health certifi- ,cates to those entitled to them without fee of any kind, and such certificates are good from five to ten days. The city board of health in Little Rock issues certificates, good for fifteen days, at cost of twenty-five cents each.
 The Memphis News-Scimitar holds that quarantine is a communal affair, and therefore doctors and notaries en- gagged in it should be paid by the com munity in which they act. for other wise a tax is levied on persons who come into or go out of the city for trading or other business purposes. Such persons should not be held up, it Is urged, and subjected to the pay ment of fee for the privilege of en- trance or exit Quarantines should not, in other words, be permitted to degen-
 
 crate into oppressive or vexatious ma c--nes.
 It becomes serious question whether the merchants of Birmingham can afford in the months of September, october and November to have a tax of one dollar head levied on their customers. It would be more enter z ising and prudent to hire doctor
 nd notary and pay them by the week or month A dollar fee upon each health certificate is novelty that no other town is known to indulge in, and the practice that has been begun in this town needs consideration at any rate and possibly revision. The tariff on health certificates should be re- duced to a minimum in the interest of trade and the average purse.

September's Battle.

New York and Baltimore are fighting off cholera on the one eastern side of the country, and on the west New Or leans, Vicksburg and Memphis are con tending with the yellow scourge under difficult circumstances. The three river towns may be said to constitute the outer line of defense. Along our own inner line are Decatur, Montgomery ana Mobile, and the infection is en- deayoring to turn the flank of the last named town.
 But all along the lines of defense there Is a feeling of hopefulness. In New Orleans itself Dr. White and his coworkers hope to win signal vic tory before Jack Frost appears-a vic tory that would become historic and that would seal the fate of mosquitoes in the future, for if 1t becomes fully tnhl IhO mosquito is the sole transmitter of yell low fever and malaria she will cer- tainly be driven out of the cities of this country. Her flight is short, and the cities can be rid of her presence even if the rural districts can not be. In the country screens can be utilized.
 Let us hope for the sake of the fu- ture as well as of the present that New Orleans and the federal government will make supreme efforts this month to win a memorable victory over the tropical distemper. Some think the victory is already half won, because the scourge is under control in New Or leans, but victory half won will not bring the scientific assurance or the commercial relief that a complet.a,. .xic- tory would. It is battle in which all the Gulf and South Atlantic states are taking deep interest, and if need be those states would not turn a deaf ear to an appeal for help.

 AN ESKIMO GIRLS BALL DRESS.

From the Washington Star.
 When an Eskimo young lady goes to ball she is a gorgeous sight to gaze upon. A traveller reports just how belle was dressed on such an occasion.
 Her dress was made of the intestines of a seal, split and sewed together. This makes a transparent garment and the girl trimmed it with elaborate embroid- cry of colored worsteds and fringed 1t with strings of beads. Her trousers were white and made of Siberian reindeer skin. Her hair was braided on each side with strips of wolf skin and strips of beads. Heavy necklaces and pendants of beads and teeth of animals hung around her neck and over her shoulders.
 Snow-white gloves made of lawn skin were on her hands. These fitted perfectly and were ornamented with strips of skin from some animal-perhaps the seal. To complete this elaborate outfit this Eski- mo belle carried long eagle feathers, one in each hand. which she waved as she danced,

Sumter County Prosperous.

Sumter county Is enjoying a steady progress" said c. M. Mccain, sheriff of that county. last night.
 "The crops around Livingston have been very poor this year, but considering everything, the county Is quite prosper ous. The merchants are doing good business, and the words hard times" have not been spoken in our part of the country for a long time. l believe this to be the condition over greater part of the state.
 "I am surprised to see so much evidence of prosperity and progress here, although I have noticed for number of years that the advance of the Magic City" has been remarkable. I was here not long ago, and thought the streets on Satur- day night were crowded, but have never seen such packed streets in southern city as have noticed here tonight. Every store seems to be crowded, and 1t is difficult for one to make his way up the street."
