HITCH ARISES
OVER BIG GAME
Pullman and New Castle Clubs
at Odds Over Terms Of
Saturdays Contest
MUST REPAIR THE SIDEWALK
speeIal b NC EvenIng Journal.

Special TO The Evening Journal.
New CASTLE. Del. July 9-There is
q hitch in the arrangements between
the New Castle and Pullman baseball
clubs regarding the proposed game.
Manager Countiss offered the Pullman
management s25 to play here on Sat
urday. The local organization always
plays at home on Saturday. Manager
Murphy, Of the Pullman club, yester-
day made a counter offer that If New
Castle viii plaT at Front and Union
next Saturday he viii give S35 or 40
per cent of the gate receipts. and If
Pullman plays at New Castle the same
money TO be paid by the New Castle
club.
Some OF the directors Of the club here
do not believe Pullman should receive
its demands. while Manager Murphy
retaliated with the statement that his
club has q big following. Then again
sport is what the club wants and
while other attractions can be had for
less money the clubs do not bring any
fans with them. Interest is getting
warm, but the outlook at present is
that the Pullman CLUB viii not play
here unless it gets its demands. The
Pullman club can obtain better terms
from other clubs.
Repair Sidewalks.
Chairman Reynolds, Of the street
committee Of Council IS determined
that the property owners shall repair
the payements IN front of their prop
erty in different parts of the city.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

"A COMMITTEE OF experts, men of national
reputation in their respective callings,
have completed a report on municipal ownership
as it exists in different cities and the possibility
of such ownership being more generally applied.
The experts, as is usual with experts, disagree.
The college professors, who are largely respon-
sible for the growth of the municipal ownership
principle, find as a result of their investigations
that it is good thing, while some OF the other
experts on the commission, who, perhaps, may be
biased by their personal interests, condemn it.
The only point of the condemnation is that polls
tics and partisanshp interfere with the practical
application OF municipal ownership. This, in
other words means that the people have not yet
been educated up to the idea Of governing city
as they would private business but prefer to
let the politicians have full sway
The subject Of municipal ownership Of public
utilities rests with the people If they permit in
competent men to be elected to the management
OF their public utilities, OF course the result will
be disastrous and the conduct of such utilities
will not give satisfaction. That is all there is to
the municipal ownership problem. It depends
solely upon the concern the voters OF city mani-
fest in civic affairs.

having the Home Week during the Halloween
celebration. That might not be the best time,
but it is worth considering. We feel sure that
the merchants will take hold of the Home Com

hardly hold them. And what a change these

the city is noted more by the absent than it is by
those OF us who are here daily.

couragement surely would stimulate those who
are working so earnestly for the advancement Of
the city in every direction Let the Home Week

proximity as man and wife neces-

divine not at times to have thoughts
that were unkind. But the control
comes in concealing the feelings, in
the gentle giving and taking on
both sides.
To this couple, who have no heart
rending memory of bitter, cruel,
useless words, there must surely
have been times, many times in the
course of a half century, when a
quick retort was on the lips Of one
or the other. Often vague re-
proach doubtless sprang to the
tongue when the wife or the hus-
band believed that the other erred
in some assertion or in some deed.
That is the experience Of every
married couple. The anger is a
momantary flash and it is gone. 1t
is the harsh reply that leads to
the harm. Happy, indeed, is the
man or woman whose control is
sufficient that with the flash no
cruel, biting or spiteful retort has
left the lips.
Control of the unruly member is
a tremendous thing. No remorse
that may be suffered, no anguish or
regret, can ever quite atone for the
harsh, bitter words that too fire.

Sunday Sermon.

Out Of Chester, Pa, comes a Won
derful story Of marital love. In
these days when men and women
quarrel over the slightest of trifes,
are unforgiving and part, this les
son in forbearance should be told
over and over again until the whole
married world shall hear of it.
It is from Mr.. and Mrs. John D..
Howard that this great lesson in
tender thoughtfulness comes. For
so years this husband and wife
have lived together and never a
harsh word been exchanged between
them during that long period.
This could not have come from
their welded path having been con-
stantly strewn with roses. Into ev-
cry life comes annoyance, distress
and trials. To each individual there
are moments when anger, hot,
surgng, fierce anger, swells within
the heart. 1t is a very human
emotion, but because it is in the

made up of two men and one lady,
all of whom are clever artists es-

ever presented on the stage. Hun

prices for this attraction are even
less than at Chicago and as Wednes-

packed house are very good. This

Thought He Was the Only.

A young clerk grown up in the
employ Of a prosperous grocer was,
by reason of his ability and know
ledge of all the details, virtually
entrusted with the mana gement of
the business, and, although given
frequent advances in salary, began
to feel that his services were
absolutely indispensable, and not
properly appreciated from money
point of view. He laid the matter
before his employer, placing parti-
cular stress on what difficult
matter it would be to operate the
business without him. This claim
was admitted by the employer,
who inquired further:
But, Chon, vat if you should
die?"
"Oh, then you would have to get
along without me, remarked John.
After few minutes deep thought
the employer looked up at John and
said:

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Most Successful Meeting Ever
Held in Grant County.

The only farmers institute to be
held in Grant county this season
closed last evening with a record as
being the most successful and the
best attended meeting of farmers
ever held in the county. At every
session enthusiasm was visible and
a good, profitable discussion followed
each subject.
Knapp's rink was well filed at all
meetings held and at the Thursday
evening session standing room was
at a premium.
Conductor Scott was at his best,
and his helpers were also in good
trim. Local assistants did exceed
ingly well.
Withal, the institute can be voted
a complete success in every way.
