gray-haired who have raised fortunes

principal Lindsey Boys" He spanked
them in the days when the old Solomon
doctrine in scholastic work spare the
rod and spoil the child,'' was in vogue,
and even after that power was taken
from the schoolmaster by law he adhered
to the original doctrine. Many men
prominent in the FINANCIAL, social, busi-
ness and political world in this city and
in other parts of the country, owe their
success to the successful training of the
'old man"
One of the most beautiful tributes
paid to him was by the brilliant Former
Congressman William A McAdoo on the
occasion of a High School commence
ment some fifteen years ago in the Acadt
emy of Music, when, after surveying the
magnificent picture of fifty-two grad
yates, nearly all of whom were girls, he
complimented them on their successful
competition for diplomas, and then, turn
ing to the venerable old school teacher,
he tore belle-lettres and the fanciful
grades all to pieces and thanked the old
man for having spanked into him the
rules of arithmetic and the rules of CONS
mon sense, and many men, including
President e. f. G. Young and the late
Senator William d. Daily applauded.. Not
only these but men who are prominent IN
the financial, social and business world
of this city.
These men. who are now gray-haired.

While Sailors We're Busy

BALTIMORE WAS SHUT OUT
BIsoNs. WHO ARE ON TOP OF
THE HEAP, ARE HAVING AN
EASY BATTLE WITH THE TO
RoNTOs. WHILE BRoNCHOS
ARE HAVING JUST AS EASY A
TIME WITH THE ROYALS.

Again, as usual, whether intentional
or otherwise, the Sailors yesterday came
to the rescue of their hated rivals, the
Skeeters, by defeating the Birds. As
result the Skeeters, after defeating the
Champions, are now roosting on the sec
ond perch, from which they had been dis
lodged by the Birds the day before. The
Skeeters got out their stick and whacked
the offerings of Beisel the new Provi-
dence pitcher, to all points of the COM
pass. They whacked him fourteen times
and with the aid of errors on the part
of the visitors the fourteen hits were
converted into eleven runs. Beisel was
retired at the end of the eighth. Capt.
Dunn took his place. Moskimon held
the visitors down to five hits, but two
Clamdigers managed to eros the plate.

Rebels Seize Moroccan Town.

Tangier, Morocco, Sept. S.-A revo-
luton is in progress at Mogador, on
the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The in
surgent tribes attacked and got posses
sion of the town. The French minister
here has sent the cruiser Galilee to the
scene of the disturbance, and the rep
resentatives of the other powers have
cabled for men-of-war The disturb
ances were caused by the high handed
action of Anfioos Kaid in supporting
outside tribes in demanding that Jews
living in Mogador return to Mellah, the
Jewish quarter of the town.

Scarcity Causes Restriction of Fac.
tory Product and Delays Crops.

tory Product and Delays Crops.
New York, Sept S.-Money market
irregularity had no ill effect on legiti-
mate business, and prices of securities
quickly rallied when gold imports were
arranged. Scarcity of labor is a much
more important trade influence re
stricting production of factories and
causing delays in harvesting crops,
while structural work is also retarded.
Fall jobbing trade is making prog
ress, shipping departments forwarding
goods as rapidly as possible. Leading
centers are crowded by interior buy
ers, who place liberal orders, especial
ly for wearing apparel. Quotations are
we'll maintained, and some improve
ment is noted in collections A season
able increase appears in retail trade al
most points, although urgency of work
on the farms limits business in those
sections. Wholesome reports from the
iron and steel industry and expectation
of large crops have developed tone
of confidence in the commercial worlG
that makes the outlook bright and en-.
courages new undertakings.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States, as reported by R. G
Dun & Co., are 1873 against ITO last
week, 1877 the preceding week and 18(
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada number against Il
last week, 81 the preceding week and

GUERRA BLOCKS PEACE.
Cuban Insursent Leader Will Not 40.
cept Armistice.

Havana, Sept S.-Although the Gu
cial armistice for ten days, occurrences
indicate that it will not be of any force
Pine Guerra, commander of the in.
surgent forces in Pinar del Rio, has
formally notified General MenocaPs
emissaries that he will not accept the
armistice. His men have blown up
with dynamite two bridges on the
Western railway, between Pinar del
Rio and San Luis, south of that city
A force of men sent to repair the
bridges, which were built of concrete
and steel, was stopped by body OF
rebels numbering at least 500 men.
The blowing up of the English com
pany's railroad bridge is regarded as
a serious matter and likely to invite
international action by Great Britain
or at least an Interrogation of the gov
ernment at Washington by Great Brit
ain as to whether the former intends to
intervene to end war conditions in
Cuba.
Guerra is moving his forces nearer to
the city of Pinar del Rio, has cut off
railway communication beyond Pinal
del Rio city and has attacked San Juan
de Martinez. 1t is believed here that
San Juan de Martinez is in the hands
of the insurgents.
The fact that other leaders of the in.
surrection are willing to agree to an
armistice can have little effect so long
as Guerra is determined to prosecute
the war, and there is slight doubt in
any quarter that Guerra can control
the situation in his region. His force
is reported by all those who have visit
ed him recently as ranging from 5000
to 1000 men.

DECLARE WAR ON CAR.
Russian Terrorists Resolve to Continue
Policy of Assassination.


st. Petersburg, Sept. S.-The Social
Reyolutionists at a meeting held after
the publication of the government pro-
gramme adopted a resolution to con-
tinue terrorism and to aim at the lives
of the highest officials.
The Batjanoff commission, which is
celebrating reforms for the army, has
recommended the admission of Jews to
the officer corps, from which hitherto
they have been excluded except in the
capacity of surgeons. The recon-
mendation, which is coupled with the
condition that the assent of the Off
GERS of the unit to which they are as
signed must be secured in each case,
will be presented to the emperor for
approval.
1t probably will be accepted, though
the recently formed anti-Jewish party
is campaigning energetically against
the proposition and is also much en-
ragged at the decision of the minister of
education providing for the unrestrict-
ed admission of Jews to the universe
ties, which goes into effect at the
opening of the next term. The Jews
heretofore have been restricted to from
to per cent of the enrolment.
Dispatches from Odessa and other
cities in the south Russia pale report
the return of many Jewish families
who went to Palestine under the in
fuence of the Zionist movement. They
complain of inability to exist there
owing to the oppression of the Arabs.

PROVIDENCE.


When the Birds emerged from yester
days contest with the Sailors their beau
tiful plumage of black and gold, that of
the Oriole, had changed to one of i'm
maculate white, but it was only white
wash. The Sailors had couple of runs
to their credit. They had dumb-founded
the Birds, and this was not on account of
the inferiority of pitchers. Adkins out
pitched Moriarity, allowing the Birds
but four pecks, but the errors of the
dumb founded Birds enabled the Sailors
to convert the four hits into two runs.
The Sailors didn't make an error. The
Birds made three. The score was to 0.
Somehow or other the Bisons seem to
have the luck of going up against the
tailenders at such a time when the
Skeeters, the Birds, the 'Bronchos and the
Sailors are hot ON their trail. And while
these are fighting each other to get next
to the Beasts the Beasts win easy vic
tories and forge aheal without any
trouble. Yesterday they defeated the
Torontos by score of 6 to l.
Rochester yesterday defeated Mon
treal by a score of 8 to /. 1t looks as
though the Canadians should turn to
cricket instead of baseball.
