PRESCOTT 4-12
 ATLANTA 10

After having won Thursdays
 game by the score of 3 to 2, the
 locals proceeded to take revenge
 on the semiprofessional ball play
 CTS from Atlanta, Texas. Friday,
 with Lemon in the box, Prescott
 defeated the Texas boys, 4 to 1.
 Notwithstanding the fact that
 nearly all of the scores were on
 one side, it was a pretty eXhibi- tion of ball and was minus the
 Wrangling which predominated
 in the game the day before.
 Lemon was at his best, allowing but three hits and making eleven
 of the Lone Star boys saw the
 air trying to locate his benders. l Lemon should have been credited
 with a shut-out game but two
 errors at critical times allowed the visitors to make their one and only score. McLain gave an exhibition of his batting by driv- ing a three bagger in the neigh borhood of center.
 Saturdays game was one sided affair in as much as Pres colt gave Atlanta what they had formally given the locals in Tex as, except that it was little worse, by shutting them out by the score of l2 too. Mckelvey l was in the box for the locals and | proved beyond any doubt that he l is the best South-paw who ever put hoof on local field. Not l only did he strike out a good ly number of the Texas profess ionals but allowed them just three hits. The two base hit of Wager was another feature of this game, also, the errors made by Atlanta only z. Prescott played an errorless game. Reeve went in the box for Atlanta but he was soon replaced by Northern who had been playing left-feld, third and second bases. North ern did but little better than The secret of the whole was that Prescott was in her old time form and out the Texas boys.

 An American gentleman is man that was born in America, possess the attributes of a gen. tleman, then an American, is man with an unstained character; with the ability and honor to pay his way, his contracts, his obli- gations, whether verbal or writ ten, and who has the respect for the rights of others. His rights to him are no more than other peoples rights are to them Therefore he has a sacred regard for their rights, this and this alone constitutes an American gentleman. People are not gen. tlemen because they have some royal blood, nor because they have been to school some, nor be- 1, cause they have been made the head of some faction that hey can dictate for it, in everyt ing it thinks or does.
 Peo jle are not gentlemen be- cause they are rich or because they are poor. What folly, to think of such a thing. If Ill n are ungentlemanly it is becau :, they want to be so, and tn amount of money they possess nor the good clothes they wear has nothing to do with it. A man can be a gentleman on enc dollar day as well as on ten. 1t takes brains to make money and thrift to keep it. Those qualities do not make man a gentleman, neither can they keep him from being one.
 When you ask if man is a gentleman, you just ask, has he a large and sympathetic nature, or is he a meddler, slanderer. or an insinuator, does he pay his contracts when due, or make sat- sfaction for same, or does he wait until his debts are out of date and then claim statute Emi- tation on them?

LICENSE FEES IN ENGLAND.
An Average of S175 Against One of $685.
in Ibis Country

The average rate of license taxation in
122 towns of the United States having a
population exceeding 10000 is $685., as
against an average of S175 charged in
similar towns in Great Britain.
If the comparison be made with par
ticular states or certain gee graphical d.
visions, the difference is even more pro-
nounced.
The average license duty in twenty
one New England cities, says the indie
pendent, Is ten times the average rate
in similar cities in the United Kingdom.
Naturally, the revenue thus received is
much greater in this country than in
Great Britain.
In the 1Gl British towns having a
population of 10000 and upward. the
proceeds from this source is approx
imately S4OSO, 600; whereas, in the H.
American towns of the same size it is
$50, 1000, or more than nine times as
much. The number of retail liquor
places in Great Britain is less today
than in 1850, though the quantity of
liquor sold is much greater. The policy
of limiting the number OF public houses
has resulted in creating monopoly OF
the liquor traffic and has increased cnor-
mously license values. without SINH
lar increase in the scale of taxation.

The Entnmolnqist Clown.

The relics OF the famous clown Girl
maldi, which are to be sold in London
during the autumn, do not bear any ref
crence to his favorite but little known
hobby. With his nimitable talents as n
clown this popular favorte combined a
passion for entomology, which he was
able to pratiCe amid fields and hedge
rows which have long since been trans
formed INTO bricks and mortar. Indeed
his energy and enthusiasm led him even
further atied, and in the counties of
Surrey and Kent the Camberwell Beauty
and other species which have since be-
come increasingly scarce fell victims to
his net Altogether the drawers of his
we'll stocked cabinet contained no fewer
than 1000 specimens. Sadler's Wells
which is associated with some of his
earliest triumphs, is still in existence,
but Astley's Amphitheater has gone.
A house bearing the sign of the clown,
in honor of its distinguished patron,
may still, however, be seen in the neigh
borhood Of the first named theater, and
"Joey's" remains lie buried in the I'D
joining church of St. James, Penton-
ville.-Daily Graphic.

While no woman is entirely free from

While no woman is entirety free from
periodical suffering, IL does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman'S vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters TO Mrs. Pinlham
that Lydia Il. Piukham's Vegetable

A FAMOUS ALLOY.
Nicllo Became Popular in Italy About 500
Years Ago.

Niello is compound for inlaying all
kinds of silver articles. 1t was former
ly used principally in Russia, where its
composition, says the jewelers. Circular,
for a long time remained secret.
The inventor is said to have been an
artist by the name of Maso Fiuiguerra.
Among his productions niello was found
after his death. 1t is also said that the
Egyptians made use of similar sub
stance in very old times.
However, it first became generally
known in the Fifteenth century in Italy
where it was used by Italian jewelers..
Cellini manufactured some choice arti-
ces with niello. 1t was also used by en-
gravers, who filled copper engravings
with niello, and the decoration of eccle
siastical vessels with it was much appre-
ciated.
1t is an alloy always containing silver.

ed sulphur and borax. According to the
proportions of these parts niello varies

BIG SWAPPING TURTLES.
Five Giants from the Lower Mississippi
Now at the Aquarium.

The Aquarium has lately received
from New Orleans five big swapping tur-
ties Of the species commonly known as
giant snappers, or alligator snappers, big
gest of all fresh water turtles. The
giant snapper is peculiar to the region
Of the lower Mississippi river.
These five big snappers average about
rs pounds in weight. The biggest weighs
50 pounds and measures 4 feet 2 inches
in length from tip to tip.
The giant snapper has long tail and
a disproportionately big head. 1t is an
ugly looking creature, and as dangerous
in fact as it is ugly in appearance, for
it has extremely powerful jaws. A big
snapper of this kind could break a mans
leg or bite a broom handle in two; such
a snapper has been known to bite a
piece out of an inch plank.
The giant snapper subsists largely on
fish and young ducks, and is itself ed
ible.
There is in the Aquarium mounted
specimen of this species that weighed
1O6 pounds and measures A feet inches
in length. In the National Museum at
Washington there is mounted specimen
of the giant snapper which weighed 155
pounds, its length being feet inches.
