Double Headed Defeat.

The Berryville team went to
Front Royal Monday with excel
lent intentions, but we have heard
quotation about some very warm
domain being paved with good in
tentions, and two defeats in one
day seems to clinch the argument.
In the first game they met Ran
dolph-MacOn Academy. Kefoot
pitched an excellent game for six
innings, and, with proper support.
would have brought the game safe
home but errors piled up so rapid
ly that he seemed to become dis
couraged. When Burchell went
in to finish the game, the score
stood Z to !. With two men out
and men on first. the batter hit
an easy grOunder TO Burchell. who
threw the ball to second. instead
OF first, the ball went wild, several
errors followed in quick succession.
and both runners scored.
Then followed a decision by the
umpire which was clearly wrong.
as 1t was not given by the umpire
winch was clearly wrong, as twas
not given by the umpire who had
control of first and second. The
game ended 9 to : in favor of
RandOlph-MacOn.
In the second game. the locals
confronted the Eastean College
team and the school boys played a
much stronger game, both at bat
and in the field, than they did when
in Berryville. Burchell pitched 9
good game, and should have won
out.
Dalton pitched we'll for Eastern.
used his head to advantage. and
was well supported-the result
consisting in the score of ; to2.
The game was clean and quick.
the fielding of the Eastern bows
especially deserving praise.
The Berryville players took
dinner with the Randolph Macon
team, and supper at Eastern Col
lege, receiving courteous and kind,
ly attention at both places. East.
ern College seemed to please then
most, on account of the many
pretty and attractive girls there
The trip was without accident
or especially disagreeable incident
\ slight tisticutf marred the peace
fulneSs of the first game, and man,
expressions of aStonishment wer,
heard regarding the fact that n,
police or other officers were pres
ent at either game. The Berry
vile team invariably has an Office
on the ground during every gam
at home, and no fighting or drunken
disorders is allowed. Perhaps som
OF the Front Royal contingent vii
see this and profit by our remarks
The local team has now playe
; eight games, winning only four @
them.
They must take a brace in thei
playing at once, and more battin
practice must be INDUCED in.

Death Of Mr. ]. W. YOrOuS.

One of the saddest blows ever
delivered to hundreds of people in
Clarke county came with the an
nouncement early yesterday morn
ing that Mr.. Vorous was dead.
Mr.. Vorous had suffered for some
time with a cancarous growth on
the throat, and it resulted in his
death from strangulation.
Mr.. VOrous was born 90 years
ago in jefferson county, W. Va,
near Summit Point, and was raised
and had lived all his life in Clarke
county, where he had engaged in
farming at Chapel HILL" one of
the incest farms in the County.
He married Miss Susan McCOr-
mick, sister of Postmaster Alex
Mccormick, Of Berryville, and is
survived by his widow and four
children, as follows: Mrs. Rice
Carper, Miss Meta Vorous, Mr..
Robert y. VOrous and Master
John Vorous.
He Is also survived by three
brothes, Messrs- Milton and Ben
jamin W.,of Clarke county. and
NJ. F., of Califoria; and four sisters.
Mrs. Lee, of near Charles Town:
Mrs. Custis, of Nlartinsburg; Mrs.
Wiley, of Amherst, and Mrs.
Fristoe. of near Manassas.
In the civil war, Mr.. Vorous
was member OF the famous Mosby
Men, and was a gallant soldier.
His commanding officer. Lieut..
John ). Russell, will act as one of
the pallbearers at the funeral to-
morrow.
The funeral will be held Thurs
day morning at II O'Clock from
his late home, the services being
conducted by Rev. Julian Broad
dus. ID. D., of the Baptist Church.
and interment will be made in Old
Chapel Cemetery.
The pallbearers will be Messrs.
X. Powell Page, John :. Russell,
). :. Ware. p. Mccormick. j. f.
Barnett and W. T. Milton.
The genial and lovable Jake
Norous was personally known, we
believe, to every man, woman and
child in Clarke county: he had
made hundreds of friends in Other
cities and States as manager of tn,
Berryville Horse Show: he was :
man, who, while not accepting the
religion or worShiping at the shrine
of any particular church. was
friend in need. a comrade in fail
or stormy days, a companion ever
cheerful. man of generous anC
kindly impulse who loved hi
neighbOrS and friends with a grea
love, and who would give freely t,
any and every cause of merit. II,
believed in that wide creed tha
men are created free and equal
and that every man should b,
given opportunity to so conduc
his life that it will be pleasure t,
his family and himself without in
fringing upon the rights of others
HeneverQueStioned the intention
or actions of his associates, an,
believed every man true unit
proven otherwise.
The generous, kindly, genia
and lovable Jake" Vorous ha
gone, but there remains benin,

in-the shifting sands, that the.
may be quickly obliterated an

What the President Eats.

TIE publication Of "A ten.course menu

so lar rs to telephone the Post, a
Washington paper, asking for an in
tcrviewcr t. hr detailed To give the
trutt: on tin luirlitant question:. IL
stems nom tins that he Is decidedly
aycr.e to being advertised rs an cpl
cure or gourmand. In fact the
President is decidedly plebeian i'll his
diet. Breakfast consists generally of
hard boiled eggs, rolls and coffee; lun-
cheon, when alone, Of howl of bread
and milk, and when Mrs. Roosevelt
and the children are present OF an adj
dition of cold meat, if any is left over,
tea, cantaloupes, if in season, and
bread and butter. Instead of a ten
course dinner it generally consists OF
but three, and sometimes of but two.
The usual dinner of the American
family of fish, one kind of meat and
vegetables, seems to be good enough
for the President. Fruits are served
in season.
NJ. Roosevelt denies that every arti-
Gle is inspected before it goes into the
kitchen or on the table, as had been
stated, although he humorously oh.
served that the cook looks over the
potatoes, to see that no bad ones get
into the pot. He also denies that
all his marketing is done at a certain
market, by declaring that mono of it is
done there; that asparagus used at the
White House is purchased by Pinck-
ney, the White House steward, in the
open market, by the correction that
all of that article comes from his own
estate at Oyster Bay, and he empha,i-
cally meets the assertion OF the scribe
that his son, Quinten, is permitted to
use three spoonsful OF sugar in his cof-
fee, by simply stating the fact that
Quinten never drinks coffee.
