ln a game unusually iniercs ting
from the very start until the last man

team defeated Bennington Saturday
afternoon, the iallcy standing 10 >

finish. With two men on bases and

thus FAR this season. vas finished.
All 81 tho visitors scores we're made
Ia the opening inning. The first man
up got the first on an error but was
put oai az second by the throw Of
Lewis 20 Keller. Niece gave the next
visitor a FREE pass and be- was assisted
somewhat by Shanahan's muf Of a
thrown ball. 4 single was next In
order and Loves costly error a. short
a groundor going right between his
feet, and a pass ball made things look
blue for Bennington. The next man
was able % bat cut a single scoring
the runs but was out by the throw
from catcher TO second base. The side
was retired on the in6eld play OF the
next man up.
The contest from then on was uphill
work for the locals but they earned
two thirds OF their way TO victory In
the fourth by good stick work includ-
ing a two Dagger by Meader.
A remarkable part Of the game was
the large amount OF excellent field
work on both sides. The star feature
was Keeler's left handed catch OF a
high liner in the fourth. Danny field
ed his position in a star manner at
all times. The visitors came out OF
the battle with only one error against
them. The game was OF the kind which
the fans delight to watch and talk
about for several days afterwards.
They were as rule satisfied and
are more than willing to pay To see
such an exhibition OF ball tossing.
Bennington had to face n excellent
twirler but they were ready with the
stick and Strengthened out Canield's
curves for eight singles and two
doubles. There is no question but
that the locals are a band Of hitters.
MCGEE the local slab artist, had
some hard work to accomplish but
came out of the ARRAY with only seven
hits against. him. He struck out three
men and presented four passes. If he
had the support which the visitors
gave their twirler. Bennington would
have won.
"Pat" Keefe, who played second for
Williamstown AC when that team
played here this season, has been en-
gagged to cover short stop for the To-
Gals. He will be here to field that pc.
stion Saturday, Love will go into
the out6eld. The team with this change
will doubtless be stronger than at
present and people who patronize the
games may be assured of Witnessing
first class base ball.

The ginseng business in this country
has grown very largely during the
past few years. The price Of cultiva-
ted roots is now about e. 80 per pound
with plants and seeds in proportion.
Ginseng is drug very largely used
by the Chinese for all manner OF ills

SECRET BUSINESS BRIDES.
Illicit Tolls Taken Daily by Stewards,
Clerks and Heads of the
Departments.

Talking of business bribery, Sir
Arthur jeff, one of Great Britain s
leading business men, said:
But is proof required of what Is
going on in your midst? Does not the
shipping trade bristle with secret
brides? Are not Illicit tolls taken
daily by stewards, freight clerks, store
keepers. and other heads of depart
ments? Is there not in some trades a
fixed rate of payment, we'll understood
by manufacturers, whose travellers have
to pay, say, five per cent to the GUS
toners foremen? Does not the trav-
eler call nominally to see that the
goods are all right, but secretly to pay
the five per cent. which is insisted
upon?
Il ought not to omit the testimony
of the judges. Each of us has had ex-
perience of the evil which l have de-
scribed. Personally have been struck
in cases tried before me by two things
first, the prevalence of these brides
in commercial transactions, and, Sec
ondly, by the cynical Indifference with
which they are regarded by those from
whom l should have expected an in
dignant denunciation of their dishon-
esty.
TO the excuse usually made that
these commissions are not really Sc
cret and fraudulent because they are
so well known, there are at least two
answers-one that fraud is not the less
fraud because it is known to prevail,
and the other that If, and so far as,
masters. either in regard to trade or
domestic service, know that their own
servants are being bribed. and from
weakness or want of moral courage
shut their eyes to the fact, they are
making themselves parties to the evil
practices and doing distinct injury to
