The following handed us by
E. j. Rice, was sermon preached
at the funeral of a friend of his who
was a baseball player.
s.The shades of evening are be-
ginning to fall upon diamond of life,
the game is almost en- ed. Breath
less tho crowd sits awaiting the end.
The score is a tie. Everything is In
the balance. This day will decide
not the world championship, but the
greater struggle of eternity.
One there is among the war Scared
veterans upon whom all eyes are
fastened. He has won many game
before He has heard the plaudits
of thousands and received the APP
plause of millions in his day. VIII
he be able to win this game? The
shadows decend. The crowd is
breathless. All depends upon him.
L, is no time for single. He has
made them before, and has won
many a game by them. A base on
balls will do no good. II is no time
for a sacrifice. There is but one
thing that Will count in this closing
moment-a home run. Can he
do il?
"Death hurls the ball toward the
batter.
" Strike one the umpire cries.
Again the sphere flies by while the
batter stands unmoved.
&. Strike two comes the voice
through the gloom. There is but
one more chance. He pulls himself
together, his frame like iron. His
features are immovable. The. bal
once more speeds toward thelplate.
With one supreme effort he swings
the stick and sends the ball to dis
tant corner of the field, and the
dauntless Ewing starts upon his last
circle of the bases.
Gone, two, three-the ball is be
ing rapidly returned. Will he make
it?
cit is close race. He takes the
one and only chance, and throws
himself headlong upon the grouno
for the last slide. For momen
all is confusion. Suddenly the dus
clears away and the great umpire o
the universe is heard to say, Safe
at homen"

Eight Valuable Lions and Tigers Sue

London, Sept. 29.-Within the last ten
days eight valuable lions and tigers in
the Tower Aquarium have died from a
mysterious disease which presents the ap-
pearance Of the sleeping sickness" so
fatal to human beings in certain parts Of
Africa
As far as the post-mortem examinations
have gone however. the presence Of the
sleeping sickness" has not been re-
vealed. and in the opinion OF the scientists
engaged in the work the fatalities are
due to a supply of poor food. It Is said
that either this food was killed too long
time before it was given to the ami

That her companion, John W Mullen,
had been beaten over the head until un-
conscious and then shot by an unknown
negro, and that she had then been bru-
tally attacked by the man and detained
in one Of the thickly wooded portions of
what is known as Dead Mans Hollow,
several hundred yards west of the AQue-
duct bridge, was the story told by Amelia
Weiss. the sixteen-year-old daughter of
Jacob Weiss, who lives at Rosslyn. as
she staggered into her home about $50
o'clock last evening and fell into the
arms of her mother, completely ex-
hausted
The local police however. until they
are further advised by the Virginia au-
thorities, viii hold in custody Emile
Weiss. brother of the young girl.
whom they claim 10 believe to be re-
sponsible for the shooting. although
Commonwealth Attorney AIackey believes
the girls story, which, he says, Is prac-
ically verified.
After the little girl had related the
story Of the negro's brutal attack upon
der and Mullen. the news was immedl-
ately communicated to Mr.. Mackey.
who is attorney for Alexandria County,
his residence being but few wards from
the Weiss home. and within a short
time an armed posse Of about fifty per
sons, headed by Sheriff W. f. Palmer
and his deputies. Edward Weight and IT,
b. Field. were securing the woods of
the ueigAborhood in search for the man.
Go Through Woods.
According TO what Amelia Weiss told
Attorney NIackey within a few minutes
after reaching her home. Mullen. who is
an iron worker by trade. living at 1906
Thirty-fourth street northwest. and she
were returning to her home after a trip
To the Geological Park in this city. but
instead of following the main road lead
ing 20 her home, had taken a short cut
through the Dead Mans Hollow woods
Several hundred yards from the road
they stopped for "a few minutes rest,
after climbing the almost mountainous
hills, and took seat ON a large log
near the path
The girl says that they had been seated
there but a few minutes. when some one
sprang from behind them Telling Mullen
with "a powerful blow across the shouI-
ders with a club. In a glance, she says
she caW the man was a negro, and that
he was dressed in a suit Of blue overans
and "a jumper.
Then, the girl claims. the negro drew
a revolver and fired four shots at Mullen.
who was then living ON the ground
stunned. Two of the shots proved wild,
but the others took effect one hitting
Mullen in the mouth and the other in tie
thigh.
The man seemed to spring from the
ground, said Miss Weiss. when asked
about the attack at the residence of At
torney Mackey last night.
As John fell to the ground and the
negro fired at him. he cried to me to run
for my life. and that he had been shot
] ran as fast as I could through the
woods.
Negro Follows Her.
The negro followed me. and after a
run Of about 200 yards he caught up with
me He pointed the pistol at my face
and told me that if I attempted to run
ave. or scream he would XIII me on the
spot"
With tears i'm her eyes, the little girl
related the story Of the alleged brutal
attack and how the man had made her
