Some Base Ball, Lots Of Talk.

The battle grounds at Gospel Village
were the scene of another holly contest
ed ball game last evening between the
Washington street Stars and picked
team from the stone sheds. The latter

The South Needs immigrants.

South Carolina, with 1l,OOO, 900
acree of unoccupied land, has come
forward with plan that seems to Of
fer much in the way Of solving the
immigration problem. The State
needs new white blood to work the
mines and fields, and while this situa-
tion has been made known for many
years in the usual way, it has not
brought such results as are desired.
Now the State mas opened headquar-
ters in New York city, under the
charge of the State commissioner Of
immigration, and an effort will be
made to direct new corners to the op-
portunities in the South.
1t is fact that very large proper
tion of the immigrants reaching New
York have no definite idea Of where
they can locate to the best advan .age !,
and the result is that most Of them re-
main in the cities to exc out miser-
able living. Could they but know
that broad acres awaited their willing
hands, and. that rewards for labor il,
tha: direction would exceed anything
offered by the big cities, it is believed
that they would gladly take advantage
of the opportunity.
The South is peculiarly suited by
climate and resources to the people Of
Southern Europe, but they, are not
generally informed Of this. The con.
sequence is that section has failed to
receive its share Of the immigration,
while other parts Of the country, and
the large cities, are being overorowd-
ed.
Yet it cannot be said that there are
too many people in this country 40
!ens as vast tracts OF land remain un-
titled for lack Of workers, and, after
ell, it may. be that the most serious
problem in connection with immigra-
tion is that Of distribution. II South
Carolina should get enongh immigrants

vious that the situation would be
much improved at onos.- Minneapolis

She Recognized The Bishop.

Bishop Coleman Of Delaware, the

A Joke That Went Wrong.

The "hunch," which may be call
ed a premonition, is a wonderful
thing. That it exists there is no
doubt. Almost everybody has
"huoches' now and then, and they
usually say they worked out." Hay
Clark, travelling man who is at the
Coates House, was in sleeper bound
for Texas recently when he had a
"hunch" that an accident was about
to happen. ut worried me SO Idress.
ed and went into the smoker, three
cars ahead, said Clark the other
night. "Fifteen minutes later a
broken rail wrecked the train and the
sleeper turned completely over, in
Juring two dozen people. I escaped
without bruise." A doctor who live 8
at the hotel smiled at this. II had
queer 'hunch' once myself" he
said. II was in Denver and was
walking along very dark street about
midnight. Suddcnly 'hunch' told
me to turn off the street or | would

self together and scoffed at it. Half
a block further man stepped out of
an alley and raised an iron pipe over
my head. The blow, l knew, would
kill me- ;:What happened?" asked
Clark. why" replied the doctor,
"the 'hunch' made good.' The pipe
came down on my head and knocked
my brains out" The doctor slapped
his sides and laughed heartily. Clark
was silent moment. Then he said:
"Well, doctor. I've often wondered
what was wrong with you. That ex-
plains it. The doctor did not join
in the laugh that followed.

SubstItutions Of Leather.

Leather is becoming more aud more
OF puzzle TO retailers. Substitution
OF feathers is now 80 deftly prae.:cea
that undoubtedly many buyer is
completely fooled. The tricks Of the
tanners are innumerable, and as these
are masked behind the practices Of the
shoe manufacturer, the shoe retailer
has tough proposition to ascertain
whether or not he is getting real or
imitation goods.
Cowhides and sheepskias are among
the cheapest hides and skins in the
market, but by few clever mapipuia-
tions tanners make them valuable. A
cowhide is tanned. Then it is put
through the splitting machine, which
machine is so delicately adjustable
that it will shave off leather as fine as
tissue paper.
For the tanner s practical purposes
it oplits leather ;nto any weight de-
sired; fine kid for 6 woman's shoe,
a heavier calf weight for boys and
men 8 shoes, or even heavier stock for
workingmen's shoes. The light weight
split is given yici kid finish, the me-
dunn velour calf, while the heaviest
weight may be grained. Other splits
may be chrome tanned and given q
patent finish, and may be sold as pa-
tent colt.
A sleek leather, especially cabretta
stock, is made into imitation of kid /,
and large quantities of it are sold as
such. Sheep leather is even given Q

Potato Which Is Fruit.

San Francisco, May 4.-The Ex-
amner says that Luther Burbank,
OF Santa Rosa, has succeeded in pro-
duclng another wonderful creation
which will come under the head Of
potato experiments and is known as u
potato fruit. Briefly summarized, the
evolution is matter of planting a
tuber and gathering from the potato
vine luscious white fruit, one that
is delightfully."- palatable and makes
excellent preserves.
Mr.. Burbank has named the potato
fruit "pomato. When compared
with tomato the pomato is smaller
in size and its meat is white instead
of red. 1t is highly favored. In
other words, it is flavor of fruit
rather than potato. Mr.. Burbank
speaks of the creation Of the pomato
as resulting FROM the turning of the
plant life in an opposite direction.
'Iasiead of cultivating the tubers
we now cultivate fruit, and tubers are
of secondary consideration" he said
the fruit on the vine being the main
object.
MIR. Burbank has now some 10000
varieties Of potatoes with which he is
experimenting. Most of them are
hybrid seedlings of his own creation.

Lee With his Army.

As thc NlNll war rcceueS farther and
farther from the present day there
looms larger and larger in the story Of
it the figure of Gen. Robert Il. Lee,
the adored leader Of the Confederate
armies. There is scarcely house

which some story Of him is not proud

than these which the New Orleans

Petersburg, on the road TO Appomat-

been asked to dinner a. the home Of
well known jurist at Summit Iced

Of Virginia gentlemen in those days,
and when the staff and guests had as
semblcd, just before dinner was an
nounced, the glasses were passed.
General Lee was in conversation with
young lady. He offered his glass to
her, after the old style, then barely
raised it to his lips, and set it down
untasted. He took up and drank in.
stead glass Of water. Looking
round the room, where all the meE
were drinking with relish, he said:
DO you know, | really believe this
glass Of water rcfreshcs the inner man
far more than the julep.'
Even his host famous liquor could
not tempt him. 1t was said that a
bottle Of brandy presented to the gen
cral before the war was returned to
the giver unopened after the surren-
der, with the request that she would
use it in some case Of need.
AT the dinner Gcneral Lee took a
cup of coffee and added sugar aud
cream. 1t was especially fine Java,
brought in before the war, and his
hostess exclaimed, ooh, General Lee!

The Reformativs Looking Glass.

Some time ago very clever story
appeared in one Of the magazines. It
told Of desk mirror given by her
pupils to public school teacher
wherein the teacher could look to see
how pretty she was when she smiled
and how ugly when she frowned. The
mirror, so the story ran, transformed
the teacher from Grabbed aud cross
character to one that smiled and be-
came popular.
The story contains truth.
The problem in making the world
better and brighter is to get people to
see themselves as others see them.
IF, then, we could provide looking
glasses at every turn Of life we almost
would be able to reform the world.
He who fumes and fuses and
frowns over his task, being provided
with an ever.present mirror would be
able to size b mself up as others size
him. And he who gets drunk, or
makes an ass Of himself, could note
the process and be ashamed,

ways. For no matter how plain the
