Whiskey and Love.
market.

1t used to be that young man was not measuring
up to the proper idea of manhood unless he could
store away about quart of whiskey and howl him
self hoarse along the village streets Now has
come change in the public opinion to such an ex-
tent that man who drinks is pretty nearly without
the sphere of decency and unfit for association with
sensible and respectable people. The Dallas News
commenting upon young man calling upon young
girl with bottle of whiskey in his pocket says that
no young man has right to go Touring with
bottle Of whiskey concealed upon his person. If he
can not quit whiskey he must give up love- The
girl who permits herself to be sweethearted by a
young ruffian whose breath smells like frost bitten
sugar cane and whose attentions divided between
herself and quart bottle has no reason to expect
fair division of his time after marriage The bottle
will get nearly all her husbands consideration and
she will get his criticism and complaints. Futher-
more, she is lucky if she doesn't have to take in
sewing to pay his fines VaHey ofMe Ieche.

excess of the amount received at the mint. which is

TO MAKE THOROUGH CANVASS.
The Department Of Justice Will Have
q Ball Team.

Until within the last few days it has not
been definitely known whether or not the
Department of Justice would place team
In the Departmental League, owing to the
difficulty experienced in locating first-class
players who might be available and the
unwfllingness of the representative Of the
Department of Justice in the league, Mr.
Orrin ]. Field, chief clerk to allow any
but a frst-class team to represent the de-
partment.
Mr.. Charles F. DeWoody has been Sc
lected as active manager of the team and
as a result of the combined and earnest
efforts of Mr.. Field and the manager the
matter of the organization of an efficient
team has been practically completed. AS
this department has never had a team in
the field, it has been necessary to make
thorough canvass for players and create
an entirely new organization. However,
there are several men eligible to member
ship whose names are well and favorably
known to Washington base ball fans, and
by utilizing these a nucleus and draw
ing upon one or more OF the small bu-
reaus connected with the department. pro-
visions authorizing this having been in
cluded in the constitution of the league,
an excellent team is assured.
Among the applications for membership
are the following players Fred Klein
schmidt, Austin Harveycutter. George
Houlehan, Roy Leatherman, John Travers.
William C. Carroll, o. G. Stnttler Frank
Young, C. d. Drayton, H. E. Read, John G.
Halves, NJ. d. Kiefer and others.

DEPARTMENT BASE BALL.
Organization Effected With Nine
Teams.

Mr.. Scofield, chief clerk of the War De-
partment, has issued the following circular
in regard to the Departmental Base Ball
League:
1.-THE Departmental Base Ball League has
been organized, to consist of nine teams
from the following departments and Offices:
Treasury, War. Justice, Post Office,
Navy Interior, Agriculture, Commerce and
Labor and Library of Congress.
ut is expected that one of the diamonds
on the White Lot will be assigned for the
games. and that five games a week will
be played, beginning about May and last
ing until the middle of September.
1.-The league has been organized by the
chief clerks of the various departments,
and each chief clerk will have supervision
of the team and other matters for his re-
Spective department. 1t is desired that all
persons employed in or connected with the
War Department. located in the District of
Columbia, who would like to play on the
team send their names to the chief clerk
as early practicable, with a statement
where they are now located in the depart
ment and what position in the game they
are accustomed to play. Practice games
will be started shortly and every candidate
will be given opportunity to demonstrate
his ability as a ball player. The cost of
uniforms, balls bats and other expenses
connected with the organization will be de-
frayed by voluntary contributions of en-
ployes and others in the department inter-
ested.' -

Eastern League of professional base ball
clubs, at New York, the efforts of How

pear at the meeting.

Capt. Harry Co1lifower of the Commits
sioners Base Ball Club has announced the
lineup of the team which will meet the
Nationals at American League park Fri
day All the players are well known on
the local diamonds and each has local
reputation which indicates that he will do
his best when the team goes up against
Manager StahPs men.
Wolfe and Gates will be the battery on
which the amateurs will depend to keep
the leaguers guessing. Wolfe is one of
the best pitchers Washington has devel-
oped He works with his south paw. He
has been training the boys from st. Alloy
sius Church. All the local fans know
Gates who is regarded by many as the
best amateur catcher in the District.
Capt Collifower thinks that his infield
will make a hit with the fans. Pat Dowl-
ing, the old Georgetown favorite. will be
on the initial sack. Willie Handiboe on
second base, Buck Venable at short and
Hooks or Fitzpatrick on third base. In
the outfield will be Capt. Gollifiower in left
field, Hoffman at center and Beall in right.
Bryan and Lay will be the extra men.
available in case they are needed.
The game should afford a good contest,
as the amateurs have practiced hard and
are anxious to make good showing.

WON BY HARD HITTING.
Pennsylvania State College Defeated
George Washington.

The team from Pennsylvania State College
won out from the George Washington team
yesterday afternoon by IS to 8 in a loose
ly played game. 1t was an off day for the
home team and the hard hitting of the visi-
tors partly accounted for their victory. The
home boys made only nine hits as against
fifteen for the visitors.
Holland did the twirling for George
Washington and pitched gilt-edged ball for
the first four innings. In the fifth inning
the opposing batsmen landed upon his de-
livery and knocked the ball all over the
field The visitors netted seven runs. But
in the home teams half MCGEE was
bounced upon by the locals and six runs
were made upon hits by Bradley, Steven
son, Bielaski and Mcmahon with the aid
of three errors by Mahaffey and one by
Kilmer.
With an even score In the seventh in
ming the visitors again came to the bat
and found no difficulty In smuggling the bail.
Holland was permitted to remain in the
box and 1t was easy work for "Pennsy'
to pile up the score. Only two George
Washington men got on bases after that
inning. The visitors. however, ran the score
up five more runs.

TASK OF CAPT. FELLs.
Plans to Build a Lighthouse ON the
Diamond Shoals.

Capt. A. F. Eells of Boston has COM
pleted his plans for building lighthouse
on the Diamond Shoals on the North Caro-
lima coast, and If he is successful he will
receive the $4,000 recently appropriated
by Congress for the light. Captain Eells
must. however, build the light at his own
expense and show its ability to Withstand
the storms that sweep around Cape Hat
teras before he can get this big sum.
Captain Eells proposes to construct a
structure that will rest on a floating base.
This base will be built on the shore and
will be towed out over the bars to the point
at which 1t is to be located, and will then
be sunk In the sands Then filling will be
placed about the base and water pumped
into the inside, SO that 1t will rest firmly
on the bottom. This foundation will be a
massive steel caisson in the form of trun-
Gated cone, with cylindrical base. the
caisson being sunk by combination or
dredging and compressed air processes to
depth OF about thirty feet below the sur
face of the sand, in water from twenty-five
to thirty feet deep, after which 1t will be
filled, except a small space in the upper
part. with concrete and stone.
The superstructure will be steel cylin-
der, tapering pslightly from the bottom TO
the top, $50 feet high, and the lantern.
which will be visible many miles, Will sur
mount the structure. Three previous eff
forts to build lighthouse on Diamond
Shoal have been made. but without success.

GREAT RUSSIAN WRESTLER.
Hackenschmidt Makes a Match With
Tom Jenkins.

George Hackenschmidt is in New York.
He arrived from Chicago yesterday. He
made a match with Tom Jenkins. cham
pion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of Amer
lea, and spent the rest of the day seeing
New York and getting settled in his new
quarters. There reporter for the New
York world found him last evening.
Hackenschmidt father was German ana
his mother Swedish He was born in the
city of Jurief, in the Baltic providences
Of Russia, on July 20. 1877. After gradu-
ST Petersburg to study civil engineering
at the university, but at this time he de-
feated Paul Pons, champion wrestler of the
world. Since then he has thrown all the
Terrible Turks, Ferocious Frenchmen. Tin
Grant Irishmen. Burly Britons, bought.
Dutchmen, Bullying Belgians. Grinding Ger
mans, Roaring Russians, Insstent Italians,
Sly SpaniardS and Awful Americans who
came to his hands, -
One glance at the fearless eyes, huge
bulk and quick, catlike activity of this man
and .one understands why he is called The
Russian Lion There Is something leontne
In his enormous loose-muscled frame, his
placid good nature. his entire freedom from
fear or even apprehension. II he were not
already renowned as 1.-The king of wrest-
lers'' he would soon make name as the
prince of good fellows. Like all Travelled
Russians, he speaks English perfectly.
The man is a giant. even In his clothes
Stripped 1Or the ring tnere Is something pro-
digious and fear-inspiring in the thews
and sinews of him.
Although he is five feet ten inches tall
this wrestler's shoulders are so broad and
his chest so burly that he appears to be
short and stubby in build. 1t is only when
one stands close to him that his actual
height appears. And the width of those
shoulders-words are puny things to de-
scribe it. John Flanagan, Jim Mitchell and
Bob Edgren, the weight throwers, are
burly giants. but their bodies seem beyish
and immature compared with this giants
torso.
He is fifty-two inches around the chest,
actual measurement, or fifty-four inches In
his clothing. That Is. he lacks only six
inches of measuring five feet around the
chest His weight is 30 pounds. His neck
is twenty inches around; waist thirty-three
inches: thigh. twenty-eight inches: calf
seventeen inches; biceps. nineteen inches.
and forearm, fifteen inches. Put him and
lin Jeffries sitting side by side and even
our great champion would look small.
