Mary Dorcas Perdus.

The old proverb that those whom the
Gods love die young is recalled by the
death of Mary Dorcas Perdue, who,
after a brisf life of nine years, died in
Hope Villa on the 10th instant. There
is something particularly sad and
touching in the death of young people.
Especially is this the case when the de-
ceased seems called by exceptional
talents to long life of usefulness.
This little girl was unusually bright
and promising. Her brief and I'M
eventful life has closed. The memory
of it abides with her family and With
all who knew her.
A striking characteristic OF this
young girls life was her unselfish-
ness; her thoughtful and constant care
for the happiness of all around her.
Though suffering only one day with a
disease that bafied the skill of the
physician, she never was known to
murmur or repine, and to any inquiry
as to her health her CHEEKY, uni
form reply was, Better. = It seemed
that she concealed as far as possible
her painful illness, lest the knowledge
of it might mar the happiness of those
she loved 50 we'll. Thus did this brave
unselfsh, pure-hearted little girl, ac-
cept the inevitable decree without q
murmur or sigh.
''Sweetly as to a nights repose'
she passed into that world where those
who have faith hope to meet her in the
by and by-where partings are said to
be unknown. A FRIEND.

That the O'Hare- Csrrigans of New
Orleans are not as warm as they re
cracked up to,be was the opinion OF the
four hundred and fifty enthusiastic
fans who saw the visitors go down In
ignominious defeat at Cleveland Park
last Sunday afternoon before the re-.
doubtable Donaldsonville Blues, who,
by the way, have lost but one game
since they doomed their new name and
uniforms. The locals played like
tends and put it all over their OPP
ponents, winning hands down by q
score of 4 to O. OF the three runs tai
lied in the first inning two were cared,
being netted from Ivens' twe-bagger
and successive bingles by H. Weber,
D. Weber and Schonberg. The third
run resulted from miscue on the part
of the visitors, as did that chalked up
in the seventh. In the latter inning
Blass, after being pinked on the arm
and transported TO first, was sacrificed
to second by Ivens, went to third on
~ WoucC ecfoaLALuB eiHRtc w eSuVcE
field, and scored when Ford threw
wild to third in an attempt to nail the
runner at that bag. Yentzen was in
fine form and held the O'Hare- CARR
gans down to four scattered hits, none
of which came at anything like criti-
cal moment. Harry Weber of1iciated
behind the bat in place of Blass, who
was unable to don the mask because
of injuries received during the week,
and held down the difficult position
like an old-timer, declining to permit
the Orleanians to steal single base.
Here's story of the game in 6g
ures:
