LOST TO BERKELEY SPRINGS.
nARTINsBURG wHIrEwAsuED IN
GAME TUESDAY ArrEHNooN.
Miller Was InvineIbie and the visitors
Were Bisnked-several New Men
60 Arrive soon.

The Martinsburg base ball club lost
another game to Berkeley Springs at
the latter place IN Tuesday afternoon
by the score of 4 to q. Miller
pitched for Berkeley Springs, aud
was invincible. the visitors being able
TO connect for only two safe hits.
Cline was on the slab for MaItinsburg
and pitched a good game. but u couple
Of safe ones and a few errors at criti-
aal moment gave Berkeley Springs
enough to win easily.
About 40 persons from this CITY
witnessed the game, and thew were
greatly disappointed ct the poor
showing made by the Martinsburg
boys. particularly the weak stick
work. There seemed 10 be an idea
among the Martinsburg lads that
thew could not hit Miller, and their
efforts we're not as earnest in that
direction as the friends aud supporters
of the club could have wished.
This makes the second time this
season that Berkeley Springs has
whitewasied Martinsburg. and the
rooters of that little CITY are inclined
to rub il in" on the club of this
place. DINER genes will be PLAYED
between the two Clubs, however. and
there Will be a chance to even matters
before the season is over
The game at Berkeley Springs
showed that hitting strength is badly
needed, and at least one irfielder will
be added to the team. Carroll. a new
man. will be on first. and Wild will
take Russler's place in the field.
This viii add hitting strength. and
with the advent OF the two new
pitchers who will join the team in a
day or two, the club will be in better
shape than at any time this season.
Mullen. the pitcher engaged several
days ago, wired this morning that he
was on his way, and was directed to
n port TO the team at Hagerstown.
Frederick will be here Friday,
while Winchester will come on Satur.
day.
j hnson, the former Charles Town
aa che who heat Winchester at
e~taanton on Monday wants to come
to Martinsburg, and will do so if a
suitable position can be secured for
him.
Frederick aerie Of Eagles, has
organized a base ball club composed of
members of the organization. The
team will open the eason on August z
with Martinsburg Aerie No. $40.

T|LLMAN'S RED HOT BOUT
tie Fight Of His Life IN
South Carolina.
WANTS TO KEEP DlSPeNSARlES
Is Opposed BY Both Prohibittonists
and Saloon Men-Has No oppo-
sition For Re election.

Washington, d, c.. July is. -Sena
tor Tilllmal is having a red hot fight
down in South Carolina. He jumped
right out of the strenuous work of the
senate into something hotter in his
own state. Cautiously enough, the
noted South Csrolinian is not opposed
for reelection in the primaries soon
to be held and he will come back to
the senate for another six years. His
battle is with the elements opposing
the retention of the dispensary system
for the control of the whisky traffic.
When Senator TilIman first came
into power in South Carolina as
governor, the license system of sal ous
was in existence. The saloon element
opposed Tillman strongly, When he
looked around for some way to give
his adversaries a blow he thought OF
the ~disDensary plan and originated H.
He did not believe then that prohl-
bition wonld be a success and SO he
turned the state into the whisky busi.
ness. He is now strongly opposed to
prohibition that be is d%enouncing ii
on every stumD %throuchout the state.
Although he is a teetotaller himself,
neither using whisky nor tobacco, he
asserts that he hates hypocrisy and
that he knows nothing half so hypoc-
ritical as prohibition. A funny
feature of it all is that while he de.
nounces prohibition everywhere some
Of his strongest friends are in that
element.
The fight against the aipeusary
system has gone on for years. but II is
SO close this time that Senator Till
nan is throwing the weight OF his
tremendous influence toward the re-
tention of the system. He IL asserting
from the stump that the prohibitions
lists are trying 10 do wav with the dis
neusary 20 as TO get prohibition: that
the former saloon men want to do
away with it so as to return TO the
license system, aud that the two ele-
ments have formed an unholy alli-
ance, each expecting. from different
motive. to profit by the possible
downfall of the existing system.
Under what is known as the Brice
law about one-third of the counties
OF the state inimical to the %dispensary
system some time ago voted il out of
thier borders, leaving prohibition. II
is the test of prohibition in these
counties that Senator Tillman is de.
bouncing as the greatest farce OF
modern times. He declares in
speeches within these counties that
there is mote drunkenness and viola
lou Of law within their borders than
ever before that "blind tigers -four
ish on ever hand. and that thousands
of people send their monev to ada
cent states for whisky in jugs and
bottles. He points out that the lug
business c~ultivates a taste for tie
strong drinks to the exclusion of the
mild and comparatively unintoxicat-
ing one like beer, thereby, he saws,
striking q blow at all temperance,
which mssns moderation in drink and
~consHmntiun of alcohol. He believes
in encouraging the mild drinks, princi-
pally beer, with only about 3 per cent.
of alcohol.

THE PRESIDENTS OUTING.

After the months of care and anxi-
ETY. that go with the conscientious
management of a great educational in
stitution. it is little wonder that
Pres. Bryan looked forward to few
days in camp at Pussy Willow ranch
with the utmost pleasure. The camp
was nicely established last week, and
the president viewed his work and
smilingly contemplated one day of
blissful rest, surrounded only by the
members of his household.
But the echo of the blow that had
driven the last tent pin had hardly
quieted till phone ring at the farm
house called the president, and fem
inine voice asked if Mr.. Bryan could
be seen. When asked if the business
could not be transacted over the phone,
the lady said that it could not.
Thinking that matters of state that
perhaps affected the very existence of
the college on the hill were in the
lady's keeping, the president told her
that he would be at his home the next
day-the day that was to be so full of
rest and quiet and peace meath the
shade at Pussy Willow camp-at nine
o'clock.
Promptly at the hour the lady was
ushered into the educators presence
when she proceeded to recite her story
about the necessity for owning the lat,
