BASEBALL NEWS.

A very interesting game of ball was
played on the Thurmont diamond on last
Thursday afternoon between the Emmits
burg and home teams. Both teams play
cd to win and errors were not as numer
Gus as usual. Several double plays We're
made by the home team which helped
very much in winning out. In the last
inning Rowe, pitcher for the visitors,
weakened, while Reed for the home club
was in excellent condition and sent the
ball across the plate with greater speed
than at any time in the game. No rec
ord of the game other than runs and outs
was kept, hence we can give but the fol-
lowing score:
Emmitsburg, ......0 0 OF 03 0 II
Thurmont, % 3 0 0 l 0 5 0x-9
On Saturday afternoon a game was to
have been played at this place with the
Creagerstown club. Some difficulty was
experienced by the managers here to get
men sufficient to play, but after enticing
several from down on the farm" the
number was secured. Creagerstown was
in worse plight. All were ready and
waiting for their pitcher, but he was
busy pitching (sheaves) and could not
leave his job, hence no game was played.
Mr.. Roy Fogle of this place, former
pitcher for Thurmont, pitched game at
Buena Vista Springs Hotel where he is
employed for a club of that locality,
against the Rouzerville team. In five
innings he struck out seven men and hit
for two singles and three-bagger. He
received poor support and the game was
lost IL to 2.

New Wheat Coming In.

New wheat is being received at the
Farmers Exchange and the Mountain
City Mill. The wheat is reported as be-
ing very tough, due to it's having been
threshed too early, not having been given
sufficient time to dry out in the shock.
The quality, however is reported to be
very fine. The wheat crop in Maryland
this year, it is said, will be 1900, 900
bushels less than what it was last year.

A Mistake Corrected.

1t is mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medicines,
because the stomach is not always out OF
order when the liver is, or vica versa.
While it is true that these organs are so
closely related that when one is affected
the other is likely to he also, still there
are times when one is affected and the
other is not. 1t is a serious error to
give q liver medicine combined with a
stomach medicine when the stomach only
needs treatment, and it is not necessary
to treat the stomach when the liver only
is disordered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible one. He does not combine
the two, but makes a tablet for the
stomach and tablet for the liver, which
can be combined if necessary. Guaran-
teed by DR.. James X. Waters.

He said there was a rich and snob-
bish English woman living in the
country. Her husband put himself up
for a political place, and in order to
help his campaign along the woman
gave a garden party to which every
voter for miles around was invited.
Among the humble guests was a
very Independent grocer. The grocer
made himself quite at home. No
dukemanner could have been easier
and freer. Indeed, the mans total
lack of subservience angered his hos

thinking to take him down a peg, she
said to him significantly:

nodded and smiled.

Earache In Children,

Onions are an old fashioned but
useful remedy for relieving earache
where it is merely atalgia. proceeding
probably from cold. Get a Spanish or
large common onion. put 1t in the
oven, or cut it in half and roast (hold-
ing on a toasting fork) before the
fire. When quite hot place on the
ear. covered over (both sides) with
thin flannel or cotton. Continue to
apply. putting the onions on as hot as
they can be borne, till the pain Is re
lieved or gone. AS hot oninons will
tend to melt the wax In the ear, 1t
should be seen afterward whether the
ear is quite clear: II not, syringe
very gently with lukewarm water. A
little lint or cotton wool may be
placed in the ear after the onions are
removed to avoid fresh cold being
taken.

Too Many Books.

The librarians of the country are
becoming alarmed at the fearful in
crease in books, and the question Of
where to put them grows louder
The smaller libraries despite all that
Mr.. Carnegie has been doing to
spread havoc among the happy illit-
crates, are already full to overflowing.
The suggestion has been made that
the larger libraries. such as the AS
tor. in New York; the Newberry, in
Chicago, end the more important Of
the public libraries everywhere, be
made repositories for the surplus
from the smaller institutions. That
is all very we'll. but that is not stem.
ming the food by any means. We
have reasons for refusing to believe
bookmaking can be entirely stopped
yet it can at least be moderated. One
effective way CT putting a stop to the
useless volumes that deluge us would
be to make it questionable to discuss
literature. If it were not for the cheap
conversationalists who carry Have
you read the new novel?" as one of
their stock phrases, there would be
good deal less time wasted over rub
bish. AS 1t Is row, while large share
of such conversation Is entirely play.
acting. there still remain some persons
who actually do read the book that
they hear about in this way. The pity
Is that the majority talk about books
that the majority talk about books
merely because they are astonished
at the size of the advertisement that
announces them. If the trouble can
not be reached at its source, there is
still another chance for the small H.
braries to keep a little room on their
shelves:. 1t Is a matter of deposi-
tory again, but much more radical
one. Hoquiam needs a jetty. Let it
be built of the bad books. They
