Proper Effort Will Bring the Great
Orphanog to Hendersonville.

The orphan asylum of the w. N. G.
Conference of the Methodist church,
win probably go to that town which
makes the best proposition to the COM
mIttee.
OF course other considerations will
have weight with the committee, such
as healthfulness, accessibility, water, etc.
In many respects Hendersonville is
by far the most desirable location for
this children's home.
Its practically absolute freedom from
all contagious diseases, its superb drain
age, its water OF high medicinal value,
the dry and bracing atmosphere, free
dom from foGs. its magnificent scenery,
make It's claims unapprolchable by any
other part of the state.
There viii be from 500 to TOO children
cared for in the orphansge.
The average expenditure per child
will surely be not less than $50 per year.
This means from s25. 200 to @35, 900 a
year.
Then there's the enormous expendi-
ture for buildings, laying off the sur
rounding grounds, and thousand other
details.
The location Of this great charitable
institution in Henderson county would
benefit every citizen of the county.
Here is something tangible, some-
thing definite, which may be had If the
proper effort is made.
That orphanage is going to be located
SoMEWHERE-why not HEREp
| What puplic spirited citizen win head
a subscription list to buy the land nec-
essary?
HendersonviIle has made surprising
efforts in the past-why not NOW when
there's great advantage to be reaped
by that effort?

Sidewalks.

Opposition TO the proposed sidewalks
seems to be gradually fading away. The
longtime payments makes this much
desired impro snept easy on Main street
property owners. A certain well-known
local contractor has offered to do the
work and take his pay in bonds. Cement
is almost ONE third lower now than il
was six months ago or probably viii bs
Elk months from now, so it looks a
though now we're the accepted time t.
make q contract.

The fans of Waterbury will have a chance to see one of the best teams in the National league here Sunday, when Brooklyn will be here to. play the Independents. Manager Curley completed all the arrangements yes- terday and agreed to the big guaran- tee, which the Brooklyn management demanded. The Independents will put into the field one of the best teams they have yet got together and the Brooklyns will have to hump themselves to win. Brooklyn will come here with the regular lineup and will take no chances on drop ping tbe game. Such men as Lum- ley. Jordan, Maloney, HummeI. Nc Milan and other stars ought to make the fans sit up and applaud when they get going. Manager Cur ley says that the Independents will be the fastest aggregation of ball players that can be procured in the state and brooklyn will have no cineh. Many fans are coming from other cities to see the game. which should be the best one that has been played here this season.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
CLEVELAND IS CLIMBING.

Cleveland, o.. Sept 24.-Cleveland made 1t three straight from New York by winning, 9 to 8. yesterday.
 Chesbro, stingy in the early rounds was clouted in the sixth and seventh. eight runs being. gleaned in those rounds. Rhoades was effective, though hit at times, especially in the last round.
 The Highlanders started off fast, an error by Perring giving McIl- veen a life, sacrifice and Laporte's two bagger to left scoring him. But after that only four landed on base till the ninth. Then with the game gone, Crea was walked and scored ahead of Laporte on the latter's triple to left, on which he too scored when Birmingham muffed the throw in.
 The Maps scored in the first. Goode singling. Bradley sacrificing, and after an. infield out and the hit ting of Lajoie scoring on a double steal worked with Lajoie. In the sixth, with Hinchman out of the way, Lajoie was hit again, and after Sto- vail had fouled out single by Bemis and Birmingham's three bagger counted two. In the seventh Rhoades singled, and after Goode had flied out Bradley's double, Hinchman's single, the hitting of Lajoie once more, sin gles by Stovall and Bemis and a dou- ble by Birmingham netted six runs. The score:

It Gives North Adams Chance
 Beat Pittsfield.

Pittsfield, Sept. 24.-North Ad- ans defeated Pittsfield to 1 yester- day afternoon in a game that was lost on an error of Bronkie, who muffed fly in the fifth inning. That gave North Adams its opportunity, and it was a golden one, the visitors grasped 1t and carried away the DOT ridge. But for that single error Pittsfield would have had the. bet ter side of the argument by a score of to 0. Pitchers Luby and Ferry had a brilliant battle and it was a shame to have 1t marred, but that makes the game popular.
 Luby made an effort to have the ground rules that prevailed all sum- 'mer changed, but Umpire Cotter wouldn't stand for. the shift and Lu- by was forced back to pitch. The feature of the game consisted of the work of Coffey, who made brilliant running assist and threw out Genest at the plate.

POP ANsoN's DAUGHTER WEEDS.
She and a Bank Clerk Go From Mont
 clair to Hoboken Alone.

Dorothy Anson, the 19-year-old daughter of Adrian c. Anson of Chi cago, the former baseball captain and until las. May the county clerk of Coo9 county, ran away ercn the home If her sister, Mrs Walter. H Clough, at 19 South Wiilo W street, Montclair, Monday night and was married. at Hoboken to Arthur c. Dodge, clerk in a Montclair bank.
 The young woman went with Dodge to the office of Justice of the Peace Samuel Engler at 57 Newark street early in the evening. Both ap- peared calm and when Engler made out the marriage license Miss Anson asked him If the county clerks had authority to perform marriages in New Jersey. Engler told her he could do the job.
 Miss Anson said that she was 19 years old, the daughter of Adrian c. Anson, and that her home was at 163 Thirtieth street, Chicago. Dodge said he lived in Montclair and was a bank clerk.
 Neither Justice Engler nor either of the persons he called in to witness the ceremony asked the bride or the bridegroom why, they had come to Ho- boken to get married and no one bothered to ask the young woman if she was the daughter of Pop Anson.
 After the ceremony had been per- formed the couple hurried out of the justfces office and walked toward the ferryholse.
 Walter H. Clougb, at whose home Miss Anson has been living for the last year, is vice-president and -di- rector of the George A. Fuller Co. He had heard nothing of the mar riage until informed over the tele- phone,
 "It was a great surprise to us," he said. We rather expected that something had happened, as Dorothy went out at about 5:30 and said she would be back for dinner. Dodge is a good enough chap. and I am sure no one regrets that they, were mar ried."
 Mr Clough said that Dorothy met Dodge soon after she went to Mont clair to visit. and that Dodge has been keeping company with her steadily since that time. He said that he didn't believe Pop Anson would object to the marriage. but said the young woman may have thought he would.
 Captain Anson has four daughters. being next to the youngest. Mrs Cloush is the eldest daughter and tho sscond is frs Adele Cherry Of
