Over Joshua, Mr.. Drummond had less
/ control than over his wife. The latter
ayp way meekIy to his unreasonable re-
myi-ions; but Joshua did not hesitate to
make opposition, being as selfish and self
4 ri,pd as his father, for whom he enter
YiDad neither respect nor affection.
In silence he helped himself to bread
and butter, and in due time accepted
piece of pie, which Mrs. Drummond made
larger at the expense of her own share.
Finally Mr.. Drummond remarked:
I've had a telegram to-day from Will
bughby"
From Willoughby?" repeated his wife
Isn't that where your cousin, William
Conrad, HyeS?"
He doesn't live there any longer. He's
dead The funeral is to be day after to-
morrow"
Shall you go?"
Yes 1t will cost me considerable; as
much as five dollars or more; but he was
ny cousin, and it is my duty to CO." said
Mr. Drummond, with the air of man
who was making a great sacrifice.
He was rich, wasn't he?" asked
JOSHUA becoming interested.
Probably worth a hundred thousand
dollars, said his father, complacently.

Grifith's new pitcher Joe Lake is a handy boy with the stick.
 It remained for the Washingtons to give the Detroits their first whitewash of the season.
 One hit games have been pitched this season by Waddell, White, Ray mond, Mathewson, Willis, Brown and karger.
 Bob Emslie is still leading the league in getting hit by foul tips. He stopped three with his anatomy in Cincinnati the other day.
 With Chase, Niles, Ball and Mori- arty lined up, the New York Amerl- can infeld is about the youngest in the country, and in point of natural speed 1t is the fastest
 New fangled pads were introduced by Messrs Kleinow and Sullivan in last Thursdays game. There was more harness on the back than on q hoppled pacer.
 Now that Overall's long string of victories has been broken he is getting shredded good and hard. However, he can afford it if he develops sim liar winning streak.
 Always somebody is wondering whether Griffith's pitchers can go the route. If they are pitching good ball at present and are in good condition, why not as well as any other pitch CTS? None of them has heart discease consumption or softening of the brain.

 We received the rawest deal imaginable from Hurst in New York. and neither I nor Donovan should have been suspended. It Is impossible for me to sand by and not protest on decisions which every one in the park knows are unfair to us. and they were not close. either.
