As in the other games to date the Barons played splendid ball. They worked together, were quickly after everything hatted to the in or outfield, and it was a gilt edged article put up by them. While they smashed out eleven hits, two of which were for two sacks, these bingles did not figure in the run-getting. It was plainly case of errors and wild throw ing counting far more than good stick work.

Nashville. April 23.-(Specal)-A thous- and fans perched in the grand stand at Athletic park this afternoon for two hours to watch what was considered by many to be one of the most inferior played games the Finnites ever put up. They simply broke the seasons record in num- Der of errors, wild throws, etc. total of ten were chalked against them. There were about six wild throws, three passed balls and wild pitch.
 With such playing of course, 1t is not worth the while to tell the winner. It from the slagpile had eight runs to their credit, to Nashvlle's two. this being the seventh straight victory Manager vaughan's crew has earned over the To- calls
 There were all kinds of rank stunts. For some reason or other the locals could not squeeze the sphere when they got hold of it. Then when the ball did happen to be checked it was thrown away in attempting to put out a runner.
 NdS0NiiIC Wi9Hl FldNC WSiis
 But for this circus variety Nashville might have scored her, first victory over Birmingham. Manager Finn was trying out his new slabman, Kilroy. While he opened with the first error, which was followed by couple more in the initial itors to no runs in that inning He was pitching good ball, and showed up better than would be judged from the result Errors and mishaps were coming in such punches that he gave up in disgust after the first few innings.
 After this Birmingham hit him rather freely. Rip" Reagan and Sallee were the ones in which Mir. Vaughan placed his hopes. He used the former for five in- nings, A couple of hits in the opening round was all the locals could do with him. In one round, the fifth, the first three men up singled before man was re- tired but not a runner reached the plate. The next three men up went out. In this round Nashville suffered little hard luck. Wiseman smashed a line drive down toward first which looked sure. to go clear. but Charlie Elsey accidentally stabbed it. Castro flied to center. Stafford also planted one in the middle field that ordinarily would have counted for a three bagger. Alcock. though expected some- thing of the kind and was playing far back in case the drive was stretched into long one. Sallee allowed the other run, With three men on bases in the final inning he gave Castro a free pass. forcing Kilroy to the plate.

New York harbor Sunday. The Ken
lucky was so badly damaged that it
was unable to proceed with the fleet
The Maine, Admiral Evans flagship,
was the only vessel to carry a pilot
and was leading the squadron, the
Kentucky, Kearsarge, Alabama and
Illinois following in close formation in
the order named. An ebb tide and a
west wind combined to urge the yes
sells toward the east side of the chan
mel and the Kentucky went aground.
There was not room for the Kearsarge
to sheer off into the main channel
without a collision, so her commander
drove her aground. The Alabama at
tempted to make the channel and
struck the Kentucky a glancing blow
on the starboard quarter, carrying
away the rail and all belonging to it.
The upper steel plates of the Ken
lucky were bent for a distance of
about ten feet. Both the Kentucky
and Kearsarge freed themselves and
the Kearsarge Joined the fleet outside
the bar.
Rear-Admiral Charles II. Davis, in
command of the second division of the
squadron, with the Alabama as flag
ship, explained the accident in detail,
but would not comment on it other
than to say that the high wind. the
action of the tide and the narrowness
of the channel were directly respon-
sible. He would not say that the
Kentucky was seriously disabled. He
was of the opinion that his own YES
sci, the Alabama, was not.

THE CHARM OF CHINA.
Beauty of Its Landscapes, the Tea
houses and Its Iandscapes


With all the offensive sights and
smells there is no denying a mystic
rious and alluring fascination in China
for all who come in contact with her
people under their native conditions,
says Guy VI. Walker in the Chautau-
guam. Even the recollection of the dis
comforts of travel by the native means
cannot blot out the beauty of the land
scape, the terraced mountain sides, the
persimmon groves, the tea houses, the
diminutive gardens, the little patches
of ripening grain, and the great toll
ing throng, always cheerful and con-
tented in spite of their unending tasks.
All who have been visitors to China
seem irresistibly drawn back to the
country. They hear the call of the
East, and they never cease to look for
ward to the time when they shall re-
turn to it again.
Those who have once lived in China
are never satisfied to live anywhere
else. Soothing and insinuating. the IA
talism of the Chinese creeps upon
them, and they, too, learn to accept
things as they come. Other land
scapes lose their interest the oldest
ruins of other chimes seem cheap and
new, while the hustle and haste of Oc-
cidental life, with its harsh customs
and abrupt manners, bruise their spirit
and they long for the peace of Cathay.

ROOSEVELT REPORTS ON CANAL.
Sends to Congress the Annual Re-
| ports of the Commission.


President Roosevelt transmitted to
Congress Monday the annual reports of
the Panama canal commission and the
Panama Railroad Company, with the
Secretary of Wars letter of transmittal
to him. Speaking of the work on the
isthmus, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
All the work so far has been done,
not only with the utmost expedition, but
IN the most careful and thorough man
ner; and what has been accomplished
gives US good reason to believe that the
canal will be dug in a shorter time than
had been anticipated, and at an expendi-
ture within the estimated amount.
From time to time various publica-
tions have been made, and from time to
time in the future various similar publ
cations doubtless will be made, purport-
ing to give an account of jobbery, or i'm
morality, or inefficiency, or misery, as
obtaining on the isthmus. I have care
fully examined into each of these accu-
sations which seemed worthy of atten-
ton. In every instance the accusations
have proved to be without foundation in
any shape or form.
ANY attempt to cut down the salaries
of the officials Of the isthmian commits
sion or of their subordinates who are do
ing important work, would be ruinous
from the standpoint of accomplishing the
work effectively.
THE zeal, intelligence and efficient
public service of the isthmian commission
and its subordinates have been notewor-
thy. l court the fullest, most exhaustive
and most searching investigation of any
act of theirs, and if any one of them is
ever shown to have done wrong his pun
ishment shall he eXemnlary"

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves Of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true and physicians have records of
great numbers of cases that add to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst Of Aurora
has been treating one of the queerest
cases Of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is o. A. Leach of Beach
county. and in the last four months
he has doctored with all of the spe-
cialists about the country and has at
last returned home with the fact i'm
pressed on his mind that his case is

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinlham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned DAYS it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
perience many of them gained avon
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to she world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

THREE STATES ARE SHAKEN.
Earthquake Felt in Kansas, Ne
braska and Missouri.

An earthquake shock was felt in Kan.
sas City, Mo-, at about Gil o'clock Sun
day evening. The movement lasted
about twenty-three seconds, and was suf,
ticiently strong to shake windows and
rattle dishes. The earth wave came from
the north. Dispatches from Topeka,
Kan, say that the earthquake was dis
tinctly felt throughout the eastern part
of that State:
Messages from Salina Minneapolis,
Clay Center, Wamego, Marysville and
Emporia, Kan, say the shock was very
perceptible at those points. At Wame-
go buildings We're shaken so that it was
feared they would collapse. At Wood
bine, Kan, buildings trembled and doors
were slammed. The most severe expert
ence was at Manhattan, Kan, where cit
liens left their houses in alarm. ST. Jo-
seph and Joplin, Mo-, experienced dis
tinct shocks.
The earthquake was also felt in parts
of Nebraska according to dispatches from
Lincoln.
