 Big Liz Taylor waded into them yesterday, much to the disapproVaI of the visiting aggregation.
 Welch has nothing to regret. The
 visitors tried hard enough 10 swat the
 ball at opportune times, but they just
 couldn't see 'em.
 Jolly, the over estimated outfielder,
 was up five times and never got a hit.
 He came from Memphis recently and
 was touted as a slugger and fielder, but he failed to show up to any good advantage in the three games here.
 And the outfield was so bad. Fay Tor and Taylor of the Taylor families were the star performers there Pitt man did not have much chance to do anything, for the balls didn't come his way Pittman was in the game, how ever.
 Flood continues to hold down the initial bag in faultless style. He's in the game all the time and knows it well. The best first baseman in the league" yelled spectator yesterday as the ''pearly teethed' first sacker gracefully took in one and sent runner to the bench.
 Umpire Crotty was much better yesterday on his b.ls and strikes and bag decisions than on the previous day. He is a comical fellow and has the spectators with him all the time until he gets a little off-and then they give him -.
 The Miller High Life team left last night for Providence, La, for four beginning today. The team is one of the strongest amteur teams in the State and has been winning games right along. They hope to capture three out of the series at Lake Provi- ience.
 First Baseman Flood of the local team states that valuable first base mans glove, which he left in the of flee of the Y. NJ. c. A., where he rooms, was stolen from that place sev- aral days ago and that he knows who has it. He warns the thief that unless he glove is returned by Monday night that he will proceed legally against 1im. Flood says the glove was left n the office for safe keeping, but that | developed not to be a very safe place or it.
 A Houston, Texas, dispatch says: w. E. Hester, a pitcher on the Hous- on team, is in great dilemma. While coming down from Fort Worth at loon the train stopped at Hillsboro md a lady asked him to hold the ba- y till she met friend. The woman never returned, and in a bandboX i lote was found after the train left the 1 station, asking that whoever got the ;hild adopt it or give it to some one. 1 The childs name was given as Ed nund Winters.

A DO-NOTHlNG
CONGRESS

Washington, d. c., May 23.-The ad-
journment of congress leaves a num-
ber of important legislative measures
high and dry, the number being so
great. in fact, that many persons are
inclined to regard the Sixtieth Con-
gress as a "do-nothing" one. One of
the most important measures enacted
was the child labor law for the Dis
trict of Columbia, which may well be
taken as a model for all similar legis-
lation throughout the country. The
session also served to secure to labor
the liability of employers, insure the
continuance of the Hepburn rate law,
stopped race track gambling in the ma
tional capital, and passed several other
measures which are equally meritor-
ious.
partial list of the more important
bills that have been put over for an
other session includes the bin for pub
hcity in connection with campaign con-
tributions, some ten or fifteen anti-in-
junction bills, reduction of tariff on
products of Philippines, the Admins
tration bill to amend the Sherman an
thrust law, removal of the duty on
wood pulp and print paper, prohibi-
tion in the District of Columbia, to
make Porto Ricans ccitizens of the
,r~I 'tad. States, the Appalachian-White

provide for the United States to o~n,

nuated Federal clerks.

ARMENIANs STILL DOUBT
Subjects Of Sultan n OF Anxious to Ac-
cept HIS Promise of Pardon

Thirty two years Of blood shed and
rapine on the part of the sultan Of
Turkey Abdul 4-amid H., can not in
the minds of Kenosha Armenians be
wiped out in single day by partial
reform and promises Of more.
This morning copies Of a second let
ter from the turkish minister, MundJl
Bey, were received. He tells Armeni-
ans that they are free to return to
Armenian now in peace, that their poll
teal offenses are forgiven, that Turk
and Kurd will no longer modest them.
However they are turning deaf
ear to his pleadings. This is because
he is excoriated openly by the editor
Of the Eritissau Hagastau,' an Ar
menian paper Of New York, which re-
calls to the Armenians the fact that it
takes more than promise of security
to wipe out the alleged list Of 100000
A1menians killed, injured and homeless
during Abdul S reign.
In fact the Armenian paper even goes
so far as to compare Abdul with Jeng-
his Khan and other blood thirsty enc
mics of the ancient Armenians.
The Armenians do not like Mundii
Bey, they state, and will have to have
more safe promises of security before
they enter into negotiations to return
to their native hills.

BURNED IN BONFIRE
-Four Year Old Child Has q Narrow
Escape From lBurning to
Death on Thursday
FATHER GOES TO TIE RESCUE
Dagneay Jacobsen Narrowly Escapes
Death When Her Clothes Take
Fire From Bonfire on
Park Court
FATHER GOES TO TIE RESCUE

Dagneay Jacobsen, aged four years,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Jacobsen, residing at Park Court, had
narrow escape from being burned to
death just after five clock Thursday
afternoon and the little girl is now
confined to her bed suffering from in
tense burns on her body. The physi-
clans in attendance report this morn
ing that the little child is resting easy
and that they are hopeful Of her re-
covery, but it will probably be several
days before they will be positive Of her
recovery.
The little girl and a number of other
children were playing about bonfire
when the accident occurred anu the
girl got too close to the flames and her
clothing was ignited. The children
about the fire were paralyzed with fear
and they ran away leaving the little
girl to her fate The child crying ran
toward her home and the wind famed
the flames until her entire body was
enyeloped. By some kind act Of provi-
dence the flames did not reach the hair
and face of the little girl. Her father
who was in the yard about the house,
hearing the screams Of the child went
to her rescue and managed to tear the
burning clothing from her. The little
child was exhausted from fright and
from the terrible pains of her burns.
fT1o Il 70 L TN-
II. A. Robinson called to attend her.
An examination showed that she had
been terribly burned about the right
side of the body. The flesh had been
burned off on the right hip and thigh
and about the right shoulder was a
great burn. Her back and neck were
also burned AS soon as possible the
little child was given something to allie
viate the pain from the wounds and the
wounds were dressed. She suffered in
tensely during the night, but she was
perfectly conscious this morning and is
resting much easier this afternoon.
The father was severely burned about
the hands as result of his heroic eff
fort to save the child and his injuries
will probably result in his being laid
up for several days.
The fate Of the little girl should
prove warning to the children Of
the city. Now that the bonfire season
is approaching the children should be
warned by their parents Of the danger
OF playing about the fires.
