ball was allowed to drop between
them, giving Clifford q hit, when it
should have been an easy out Mer-
ritt picked up the ball and sent it to
second, with no one ON the base but
II. Clifford, the runner. If the ball
had been sent to third M. Clifford
could easily have been caught. Lynch
was then passed by Collins, scoring
M. Clifford. Allaire famed. T.
Clifford scored on q wild pitch by
COLLINS. Perkins flied out to Riley
and Gagne to Merritt, but Ludlow
had scored two runs and olinched the
game with the one scratch hit and
miserable ball playing on the part of
Stafford. In the eighth Hurley was
out on liner to Collins. Elder con-
|nected with the ball for a safe one to
sight, but was caught at third ON M.
|Olifford's hit to Mclean 7. Clifford
sent swift one which Merritt was
only able to block with one hand.
W. Clifford sent up fly which was
|captured by Brooks. In the ninth
Drisooll was thrown out at first by
Lynch. Merritt raised the hopes of
the Stafford fans by swiping the ball
safely to right and stole second, where
he died, as Smith went out on a fly
to left garden, and Collins could not
get one by Aliaire and was out at
first. Fahey, the umpire who takes
McLaughlin's place, gave good salts
faction, and his decisions were not
questioned except in the eighth, when
Collins, in going to second on Fran
els being passed to first, ran over his
base and was tagged by Gagne before
he returned, but the umpire called
him safe. The decision did not make
any difference in the score, as Fran
sris scored on Riley's hit with only
sone out. Quite delegation followed
the team to Ludlow and made up a
large proportion of the small attend
ance. This gives Ludlow three out
of the four games. Next Saturdays
game, on request of the Indian Or

A Brilliant Pittsbura Woman.

One of the brainest women that
Pittsburg ever produced was Miss
Kate Cassatt Mcknight. who died re-
Gently. She was woman Of great
wealth and the best social position.
Social position in Pittsburg does not
mean belonging to one Of the new rich
millionaire families which spring up
like mushrooms and. knowing the
hopelessness of making a social appeal
to the old Scotch-Irish set that forms
its aristocracy. carry their money and
their eccentricities to New York, where
they find appreciation. if not on Fifth
avenue. at least on Broadway. Miss
Mcknight was connected with the
O'Haras. the Dennys and the Schenleys,
families that like the Astors. have
many millions invested in land. She
was also related to Mrs. Margaret De
land. her beautiful old fashioned home
being situated in that very Chester"
which Mrs. Delands pen has made
famous. The Cassatts Of Philadelphia
were also connections of hers. A rich
and brilliant woman. she cared little

educational and philanthropic work
she was school director from the Fifth
the millionaireJ ward Of Allegheny
and the only woman ever elected to
such an Office in Greater Pittsburg.
She supported and gave her time to
the Helping Hand society, a club for
self supporting women. She was in
terested in the Newsboys' home and the
Boys Civic club and was a member Of
Twentieth Century Club For Women.
an organization not unlike New York's
Colonial club. The president Of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs.

THE COIN MOTTO
Pastor Westfall viii Discuss Timely
Subject Tomorrow Night.

'1n God We Trust. or Because OF
Your Unbelief," will be the theme OF
L. Judson Westfalrs sermon In Beth
ANY Baptist Church tomorrow even-
ling.
Mr.. Westfall says: "Thls time-hon-
lored phrase on many of our coins has
been called into question by the Chief
Executive Of the nation.
"The words have been on our coins
since 1868, and they were placed there
not by a direct act Of legislation. but
by suggestion. The phrase expresses,
we believe. the sentiment OF a vast
majority of our citizens, but most as-
lsuredly not the conduct OF our inhabi-
tants: so there appears to be but little
agreement between sentiment and COM
duct; therefore. the phrase Is a mis-
lnomer, and misleading, and out OF
place being subject TO abuse. 1t pre-
sents an inadequate View Of Gods
character as on our coin when open to
Jest It IS q gold and silver masque-
lrade Of American political life-a pre-
ltention OF what we are not"
At the same service there will be
special singing by the choir, under the
leadership Of David Constantine.

to the common or garden variety of
messener boy.
Unappropriated females, who have
been featuring the love-in-a-cottage
conversation on Sunday. Wednesday
and Friday evenings sees their pro-
spects of facing the parson fadiag
fast. Installment houses. baby car
riage builders, landlords. butchers,
bakers and grocers are only a few Of
the business interests which view with
apprehension the attempt to discour-
age matrimony.
What the new firm win do to a mans
wardrobe for ten cents a day is in
deed plenty. Here is a partial list Of
the promises which is guaranteed to
keep most of the single men outside
the matrimonial moose and those in
captivity chatting under the restraint:
Clean. press and repair your clothes,
no matter how many suits you have;
polish your shoes three times day;
clean and block your hats; clean your
ties; darn your socks and underwear.
clean your gloves; insure your ward
robe against fire; furnish identity in
case of accident: call for and deliver
goods.
This is no experiment" said tho
manager yesterday, "its a demon
strated success. We have places in
several cities We depend on volume
of business for our profits"
"I5ow many suits Of clothes can a
patron send2" he was asked.
Just as many as he owns. There's
no restriction on the number Of gar
ments so long as they belong to the
subscriber in person. We've had one or
two cases in other cities where a sub-
scriber tried to ring in three or four
of his brothers on a single dime. An
other instance was where a cobbler
sent us ten and twelve pairs of shoes
to shine for several days. We noted
the different sizes and found out he
was fim-hamming us"
"Is It true that you do all Of this
for ten cents?" inquired a meek look
ing man with a voice that sounded
like the moaning of the tide.
I'VE do more than that" replied the
manager jovially. "We'n dust the
cobwebs of your memory, crease your
conscience or cut down your appetite
to fit your salary"
"I'll be back and take out an appli-
cation just as soon as I start an action
for divorce" said the hen-peokcd
member as he hurried. away with a
smile on his face

WOMEN AND CANDOR
Those Who Are Frank May Have Mer
Friends but Not Those Among
Her Own Sex.

There are certain qualities-and they
are by no means always or altogether
bad Qualities-which women cannot
put up with in each other. Perhaps
the most notable Of these is extreme
candor-candor unsoftened By consid-
GRAFTON. The woman who invariably
speaks her mind. shows her feelings
and disdains all innocent discrimination
may have men friends, but if not she
will have none at all. Women fear
roughness in each other and require in
a friend that they should be able 20
place at least as much reliance on her
kindness as on her word. Intimacy
between them does not sanction COM
plete plainness of speech. Sharp
speaking, sometimes sharp speaking
accompanied by terms of endearment
may be overheard between them. but it
is among women whom circumstances,
not choice. have rendered intimate,
and the very fact that they take the
precaution to cover blow with a
Establishment shows how high they put
the necessity Of mutual civility.
All women consider the wounds oe
friend to be faithless. In men they
forgive rough speech, Just as they for
give rough manners in boys; but they
dislike both in a woman, and where
they find them they are always on
their guard. The extreme truthful
ness of an oversincere sister may
wiring from them a measure Of re-
spect. you always know what she
means" they may say with a certain
grudging admiration; but they do not
take off their armor in her presence;
they do not dislike to hear her found
fault with, and in trouble it is not to
her they turn. On the other hand,
It is not uncommon to see such wO-
men popular with the opposite sex, or
at any rate with a considerable portion
of them. There is often a great deal
of good-comradeship behind their
roughness, and they are very seldom
dull. Physical health, jovial spirits
and a certain mental thickness of skin
often accompany extreme downright
ness A downright woman has neither
moods nor meerims. Plain speaking
may mean praise as well as blame, for
partisanship makes a serviceable sub
stitute for sympathy. 1t constantly
has a certain piquancy, and it is allied
with the energy which the modern
successful man looks to find in his
wife But none of these things are
sufficient to commend the plain
speaking woman to other women

Successful American Singers.

American singers are the best in the
world. says a critic. In Italy the
singer who can ,attack and hold high
notes is admired. In Germany robust
voices are liked and technique is not
insisted upon. French singers generally
sing fiat. The American prima donna
has a naturally good voice and the
sense TO avoid the glaring errors Of the
continentals. Consequently she has ar
rived. In Europe American singers are
everywhere in demand Games. Nor
dica. Farrar. Walker. Grswold and
Maclennan are all among the stars OF
the great foreign opera houses. Amer.
ican girls, too. are learning that they
can get as good vocal training at
home as they can abroad.
