Shepherdstown sent an enthusiastic
crowd of rooters to Charles Town on
Tuesday, but they didn't have much
chance to enthuse. Couldn't even
blame the lost game on the umpire
though he is said to have been far
from unbiased.
The good playing of the Shep-
herdstown team is attracting atten-
ton. Manager R. Lucien Remnant
had request from Frederick for q
game, and one will be arranged for
next week if possible.
Shepherdstown and Martinsburg
will play here next Tuesday July l4th
The admission will be fifteen cents. but
all ladies will be admitted Tree on that
day. A good game is promised.
We knew that Charles Town had
stacked the cards on us, but We really
thought We would have gotten into the
game a little deeper, even if they had
had all professionals.
Frank S. Muzzey offered FIVE dol
lars to our home team if we would
beat Berryville both games. 1t was
just like finding money.
Hampden Triplett hurt his foot
while sliding to the home plate on Fri
day, and was out of the game until
Tuesday.
Wonder how much it cost Charles
Town to get Winchester to beat Shep-
herdstown2
Wonder what Charles Town would
do if it should get, up game with
Winchester
Shepherdstown will play at Bruins
wick Friday of this week.

Panic Due to Republican
Misrule.

If last years panic could only
have occurred just after Dem
ocrat had been elected President,
the Republicans would have
known exactly what to do with
it. But it is now a great IDEAL
more troublesome to them than
the panic of 1898, which they try
to locate after the tariff was re-
duced, though it occurred more
than a year before the Wilson
Bill was passed-and that did
not reduce the duties much. Ex-
posed in their duplicity when
they try to attribute the slump
to tariff reduction, they pretend
that it was due to the Demo
cratic victory of 1892. 1t hap
pens that business doomed all
through 1892, and the boom con-
tinued until May, 1893, and labor
statistics show that more people
were employed in Massachusetts,
and New York in every month
from Cleveland's election until
the June following than in the
corresponding months of t he
prev nr.
